This was a really fun game to make. We've been playing scrabble together for years so it's nice I'm finally competent enough to code this online version. I posted it on reddit and now over 1000 people are playing against my dad everyday haha.

It's nice!

My only gripe is: any time you click away from the tab, when you click back to it it resets the screen (shuffles the pile and clears any letters you had placed)

Hmm yes ok I just removed the refresh now.

The reason it was there is some days I opened the tab on my iphone and for some reason it still showed the yesterdays result rather than the new day's letters.

Will have a think of a better way to force the refresh of the letters on a new day.

i cannot find an explanation of the TL & DL tiles

Me neither. Can someone explain the rules? (What do the red and blue tiles mean? How do you play?)

Double Letter, Triple Letter (I think). It triples the amount of points you get for the letter that is on it. So try to put valuable letters on that spot.
