Word

The first randomly generated word in OSKI does not appear anywhere.

During a match of OSKI, as you know you cannot play any word that contains previous played words, but unfortunately there's no where that's written the very first word.

If the first word is, for example, TEN, at the first moves you don't know if you have to avoid TEN or NET, and later in the game you have to remember that word by mind because it is not written in the moves list, as do all the other words.

Would it be possible to add the very first random word as "move 0" in the moves list?

Thank you!

well, it would be helpful to be added as "move 0"... but i don't agree with "you have to remember that word by mind" because it is _always_ written in the center from left to right. You always know which was the initial word. It would be helpful, but there's no need :)

If in the center it's written TEN you have to avoid TEN, if it's written NET you have to avoid NET ;-)

Ahh always from left to right! I missed that, thanks for the clearing!

funny, I did not see either that it's always that way; I tested both ways.

But I checked all my games (19), and 17 have it left to right (in 2 it is not deducible).
