To try to avoid impossible transitions I'd suggest target words are not allowed more than 1 Scrabble high-score letter. What do you think?

Hi Keith,

I wouldn't have a problem with that, it should also mean that the other player (assuming it's still just the two of us) chooses the next word. I'd suggest starting a new thread for it though as if it doesn't work, it's easier to revert back to this thread and let the other one die.

I'm also not sure there would be any 'impossible transitions', it might require a few detours but I'm confident we'd get there eventually

Okay, we'll do that.
Do you agree we should limit the use of the high score letters? I'd suggest this apply to "Z", "X", "Q" and possibly "J"? Or do we just go for it, and see where it takes us?
A new thread may attract some of the occasional posters back.
