Can we report players who are obviously cheating for removal? Also,
please give us a way to mark players as either favorites or as blocked
so we never have to randomly play someone again who we feel is
cheating.

Not that easy. This game let's you use lots of "words" that aren't
actually words. I think, though, that by cheating they are referring
to people that use one of the many cheat apps that will find all of
the possible words based upon your available letters.

There are cheat programs that allow you to plug in your letters and it
returns all possible combinations and best places to play them - so
when someone constantly plays words that are not common usage, it's
pretty obvious.

But aren't there people whom have large vcabularies?  And who study dictionary. For sports?

Yes, there are, which is why there should be a rating system to let
"normal" people know that before accepting a game with them. Let
those people play each other!

Good point. A rating level is reasonable.  Beginner,  average,  advanced??

In addition to a rating, I'd like to be able to see the last few games
a user played before I accept a game with them - that will allow you
to see if they play appropriately.

YOU COULD CALL YOUR LOCAL PD AND GIVE THEM THEIR SCREEN NAME. OR JUST DON'T PLAY THE GAME.

How do you define cheating? People who check a word in a dictionary,
those who use an anagram solver but still fit in their word, those who
use a software cheat, use 2-letter words, or those who are just good
at playing the game?

I am in the middle of a game I'm which I have made 2 8-letter words
and one 7-letter word legitimately, sometimes you just have a run of
good luck.

I have only played one game against someone who I knew was cheating,
and that because their play-style radically change after a series of
games between us, I think someone else was playing for them.

If I don't enjoy an opponent I don't play them again.

if you are good, you are good. It all depends. On the letters you draw
