| All words come from the Tournament Word List. Yes, there are at least a few that require a larger tile set; I know this because I could spot a few of the obvious ones ("Knickknack" and "pizzazz"). Why they're on the Tournament Word List if there are no Super Scrabble tournaments, I don't know, but presumably they have their reasons. At any rate, removing all of them would mean either directly checking every single word of those 2830 manually, or spending time to write a program to go through all the words, and check for having more instances of the letter than Scrabble not counting blanks, but not more than Scrabble with blanks, and not having any situation where two or more letters are used in a fashion where the combined total is more than two blanks. Either way is a lot more work than the relatively simple "More than {count} tiles for {letter}" algorithm I used to compile this list. And considering that the words are grouped, not individual, the words that would fall into that distinction are only increasing the odds of somebody being able to guess a group. I.e., you don't have to know "knickknack" to get the group that it's in, but if you do, that's one more way to get it. By getting rid of those words, I would basically be putting myself to a lot of work in order to make things a little bit harder on people. That seems undesirable. |
