No Response

If you're playing "WordScram," and the game doesn't respond when you submit your words for scoring, it's probably due to Dictionary.com's website being unavailable.

Disable the "Dictionary.com Look-ups" option when you start your game of WordScram, and it should work fine.

No Timer (WebTV users)

The way the countdown timer works for most users (including WebTV users) is through what's known as 'JavaScript' code. JavaScript is programming that gets embedded into a web page (the HTML), and provides interactivity within a page. Many websites use this for pop-up windows, buttons that change when you put the mouse or cursor over them, or to validate a form before you submit it.

Unfortunately, it seems that WebTVs currently have a bug where their support for JavaScript will just stop working. For many WordScram players, this means that they're initially unable to even choose a timed game. For others, this means the countdown timer will simply cease working in the middle of play.

Fortunately, this doesn't seem to occur too often. However, when it does, my only suggestions to WebTV users is to try reloading the page, (Push the [Options] key, and select "Reload" from the menu), or to completely shut down (power-off) your WebTV unit, and then turn it back on and log back in.
