Hello,

My playing partner and me need clarifications about the rules of Oski. Our game is here: http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/game/game.jsp?gid=1472106

I would like to add a C in the last empty hexagon and then use the word CLASSEES by using the letters in the north east of the C.

But when I try to use my word, I can't submit my move and I don't understand why.

Can anybody help us with what we missed ?

Regards.

Didier

I know what it is: the 3rd word in the game is "LAS", and "CLASSEES" goes through that path.
From these rules: http://www.wyps.info/other/oski/
"A new word cannot contains some used word. For example if was played word MAN, is not possible to play MANY or HUMAN."
And this example also falls under:
"Used words cannot contain a new word. For example if was played word KEYED, is not possible to play KEY or EYE."
Good luck! ;)

Yep, that's it :)

Another thing that might not immediately be clear is that while jytou played CALE as the first move, there is actually a zero-th move which is the default 3-letter word appearing at the very beginning of the game. In this case this word is LAC and it follows that you can't make any word that incorporates it.
