Variants and similar
- Lockdown - players type in the best word they can find and decide to either keep looking for a better word or hit End Round Early and "lock" in their word. Best (longest, if standard) word wins like usual, but if both players have the same length word then the first player to "lock" in wins the round.
- Variant where the max available score is given at the start of the round so players can End Round Early and not waste 20 seconds on flat rounds (practice variant really)
- Pregenerated numbers games that cater towards numbers "rules" (rule of 9, 937.5, etc) for practice purposes.
- Fixed-time games [Jono]
- Variant populated entirely with 9 letter words (not like a CA as you can declare <9 letter words and get plurals and words with multi-anags)
- Variant where you get points for your longest 2/3/5 words (flat scoring probably easiest) [DC]
- (Short) patience bar on numbers declaration box
- Ability to retract "play next round" if your opponent hasn't yet pressed it (if the phone rings or whatever)
- A column in the "games in progress" tab that tells you how many rounds out of the full amount have been played [Jack]
- Numbers difficulty display [Jim].
- List inactive (30 days) players as a different colour on stats pages, with "last 30 days" high score pages and the like [Jack]
- On-demand generated "play along" recap of games - when out and about (on the bus/train, whatever) both Kirk and I like to look at (phone browser) recaps of recent games and play along, but the normal formatting of games isn't really conducive to this. I'm thinking stripped down and text only.
- Statland: Top letters players list for 3/4/5 vowels (like the ones for different numbers formats)
- Statland: Top goatdown players on own / others pick (%max)
- Statland: Top players ever lists - like the top players lists but records only the very top % each player has ever attained
- Statland: Never spotted words (not including anagrams of words that have been spotted.)
- Superstats: Graphs for picking (max/darrenicity) quality
- Superstats: Most common words never spotted (upto anagrams)
- Titles that need defending [Jono] (CA title, 15R title, Goatmaster, etc) - like this I suppose, with expiration of titles due to inactivity.
- Tighten up the robots numbers ability slightly? It just feels a bit wrong that Prime and Velvet are 2nd/3rd and 8th/5th on statland's top letters/conundrums list but neither feature at all in the top 25 1-large players
- "Demo" mode for playing bots for non-contrib players, locked at 3 rounds or always the same 15r selections [Gevin]
- Limiting conundrum difficulty based on rating [Ben H]
- Players don't see the same conundrum more than once in two months [Damo]
- Separate chat pane with constant quickfire TTTs goodness! [Done - the Bash Room]
- What I said here about focus switching to the chat box on non-Enter keypresses in-game.
- In game recaps, include the rating of players when they played a particular game [Shaun]
- Search facility for chat logs [made a separate list instead]
- "Looking for game" status [many]
