    Sounds like it would be a lot easier, and even more of a ‘board control’ game.

    And you’d be able to play your whole 7 letters in pretty much every turn (if you wanted to), since you’ll always be able to find some combination of your 7 letters that doesn’t form a real word. Or … at least almost always? I find it hard to imagine any combination of 7 letters that will always spell a real word no matter which order you put them in.

      Yes it would be more about board control, and for instance finding arrangements that place high value letters on triple squares, without accidentally creating words. You’d need to know enough obscure words to avoid spelling any, and to catch your opponent out.
