Blitz Clabbers (anagram Scrabble) battle vs. HastyBot! 

“Well, I’m sorry guys. I’m pretty good at Scrabble, but I’m not going to find EROTOMANIAC in Clabbers as a disconnected eleven with four overlaps and 17 seconds on my clock.”

I would happily watch a 100 game series of this with 20 minutes

9:10 Missed opportunity to play OWO :)

I sometimes play void challenge Clabbers with really long timers with a friend. Void means you can test for any extensions to anything already on the board even if you don't know them. It becomes this tactical thing where word knowledge is nearly useless, but you still get value from understanding general letter frequencies, as well as understanding of how to get the most out of the board geometry and whatnot. I'm *pretty* sure if you couldn't phony and had 5 minutes, you could beat us with void challenge and 40 minutes. More Clabbers please

20:19 crazy dropping that 3x3 with 2 seconds to spare. if it were me i probably would’ve just put the tiles down without seeing the word on the off chance there is a bingo valid anagram in there as there is nothing to lose at that stage

Clabbers hurts my brain haha, especially when it comes to extensions.

I would love to see clabbers vs joey mallick

I like how he's almost instantly able to see the 9 of FIREWEEDS when the analysis says to hook a W onto REDEFIES

12:00 I'm assuming that HastyBot wasn't thinking, but because Clabbers is Clabbers, it took that long to come up with the top equity play.

You're insane Mack... would love to see some longer clabbers games as well!

It's insanely impressive how you instantly anagram those 9s and 10s from Hasty!

Game idea.The easiest bot can play clabbers you have to play Scrabble

After watching you play several hundred games of Scrabble I'd grown a bit numb to your word finding ability. Fun to be reminded how absurd your brain is!

14:18 - fun extension for PETULANCIES available per the analysis, though not the best play admittedly. So many great extension options in Clabbers you can’t even discuss them all. That was loads of fun, I could go for a few hectograms of blitz Clabbers matches.

Well, now I have a headache and a nosebleed.

That game 3 was wild, I really have no idea what either you or hasty should have done at the end

I would've thought passing was best for the AI when it set up the triple triple outplay for you. Why was this not alluded to at any point? This is fun to watch. Keep them coming if you can.

GG's, might be more fun for everyone if u played 10 min instead of 5?

4:41 It's very hard to see under time pressure, but IBG/PGE one space to the right scores 4 more and doesn't allow DAQI/JIG type of plays. I'm nitpicking of course, there's no way I find this without Mack nearly coming up with it himself!

Anyone else start to doubt words are valid when Mack doesn't bring them up? I was sure FIREWEEDS was a valid play, but still went to check the dictionary.

Is this gonna be a weekly thing?

In game 3, was there a reason to playing the G of GOX with MI instead of OJ below? Or was that just a CLABBERS oversight?

10:10 Watch as Hasty plays U(O)THAQ at 10.20. Timer ticks down by 1 second only to be reset back to 5 mins afterwards! Sneaky! 🤣

Okay, but what really is "jetrot"?

Unsubscribed because you missed erotomaniac /s

👋😉

I am very disappointed
