I like to sometimes play Scrabble, and one time, I thought, "Hey, what if this was in Dovahzul?"

That would be so awesome! I've had the same thought myself. Unfortunately I don't have the expertise to make an online multiplayer game of that sort, but I could try for something local.

This is an awesome idea! It makes me want to learn how to make apps.

Some more ideas: Dovahzul crossword, word search, boggle, and maybe even pictionary

Paarth... WHAT IF YOU MADE AN MMO IN DOVAHZUL?! That would be awesome. But I'm not quite sure how can you do it...

This came up in some recent discussion, and here are my thoughts on letter values for Dovahzul Scrabble. Ahaa, etc. are individual letters. See here for reference on letter frequency.

  • 1 point:

    N x 8
    O x 8
    R x 6
    K x 6
    L x 5
    aa x 5
    U x 5
    ah x 5
    S x 4
    D x 4
    V x 4
    ii x 4
    I x 4
    T x 4
     
  • 2 points:

    M x 3
    E x 3
     
  • 3 points:

    Z x 2
    G x 2
    H x 2
    F x 2
     
  • 4 points:

    A x 1
    ey x 1
    ei x 1
    B x 1
    P x 1
     
  • 5 points:

    Q x 1
    J x 1
    W x 1
     
  • 6 points:

    oo x 1
    uu x 1
     
  • 8 points:

    ir x 1
    ur x 1
    Y x 1
     
  • 10 points:

    X x 1

This totals to 100 tiles and 189 points. For reference, the English version's tiles total to 187 points. All of this is based on 100-tile distribution. If possible, I'd suggest increasing the total number of tiles so there can be more of the common letters. The large number of 1-tile letters would make the game unplayable in the late game.

This idea is awesome! Indeed, it'd be a nice way to practice Dovahzul.

I can't provide any technical support, but I'd be ready to donate a few euros for this to be made.

Even tough i rarely play scrabble or any word-related games, this idea is the best idea since Peanutbutter-Jelly.

Pretty much any game with text in it, really. Imagine doing a Portal hack where you translate all of GLaDOS's dialogue to Dovahzul . . .
