The frequently asked questions about WordCrex.

What are the numbers behind the birds and strength?
The strength of a player is indicated with a number which is converted in a number of crexes (birds). The strength is measured with a algorithm that is based on the idea that you get more points for a victory if you win from somebody who is stronger then you then when somebody is weaker. The intervals are < 1200 = 1 Crex / 1200 - 1499 = 2 Crexes / 1500 - 1799 = 3 Crexes / 1800 - 2099 = 4 Crexes / 2100 > = 5 Crexes. Crex it on!

When I have the same points as my opponent why do I still loose the turn?
When two players get the same points in a turn the player who has played his word the fastest will win the turn. This is done so a decision can be made which word is placed on the game board. Even though the fastest player wins the turn and gets the cup, it has no distinctive influence on the overall score since both players get the same score.
