People play nonsense words for last turn to win game
Some people play out with nonsense words at the end of the game and the game does not check the final word. They are then deemed the winner. They repeatedly do this as they know of the glitch.

Among the many problems with Pogo's new (and improved -- HAH!) Scrabble game is the one I'm especially fond of (along with the clock that pops in and stops games and of course the totally unequal letter distribution) is that it seems you can put down anything if you're the last player, words that aren't words at all, but the game accepts them and the game ends so fast, there's no opportunity to challenge. AWFUL and horribly unfair. I just lost a game because my opponent threw out a vegetable soup of letters, and won the game.

Hey there @Letterary Sorry to hear that you are having issues with Scrabble. Please provide the following information:
- How often has this happened to you in the game?
- What browser are you using?
Players are saying that when playing Scrabble people a use all of their tiles to create a word that aren’t actually words however it will say that they’ve won the game. Am I correct @aura247?
In addition to the problems we remember from the old game: clock coming in inappropriately, horrible letter distribution -- pogo decides who wins through the way they distribute letters, and if you get.a bad rack and exchange, the same thing happens. If pogo wants you to have lousy letters, exchanging often brings only more lousy letters. It now takes forever to get matched up in a game. But the worst -- and this is a new wrinkle-- is that when it comes to the last play of the game, a player can simply put whatever letters he has left on the board, hit play and win the game. To reiterate, nonwords are being accepted to win . You can't challenge the word because the game instantly ends. THIS HAS TO BE FIXED. As far as I know, NSA-rated games don't allow for this, and this is supposedly an NSA-rated game.
