TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

You're to dot. With 85 minutes, you'll demonstrate. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, Robin here.

Today we're going to revisit a skill that we looked at over 800 episodes ago. And this one is called Word Games. And you can also do it multiplayer if you tell another person what your idea is. So I'm going to do it here.

And I'm also going to do it on The Echo Show with Sean. I'm going to challenge Sean to it. I'm not sure how it's going to work. Because we'll both be having our own experience on each end.

So I don't know how I'm going to edit it. But anyway, I'm going to do that. So let's go here. It's called Word Games.

As far as I can see, there's only one game. But anyway, Alexa, open Word Games. Welcome back. Would you like to check your rank, challenge a friend, or play solo?

Help. I will tell you jumbled characters of three words. To answer, respond with the unscrambled word. If you need a hint, say hint.

To know your rank, say rank. To report an issue, say report. Finally, you may say start game, to start a new game. Would you like to start playing?

Yes. Would you like to check your rank, challenge a friend, or play solo? Rank. Your rank is 9,598 among 42,000 players.

Good luck. Would you like to check your rank, challenge a friend, or play solo? Play solo. Current score, 2,980.

Solve three anagrams in this round. Anagram number one. I-N-S-E-H. Definition, to emit light.

Now, tell me the answer. N-S-E-H. Shine. Try saying, the answer is, followed by your guess.

I was whispering. The answer is shine. You got it. You scored 500.

Anagram number two. E-C-P-O-S. Definition, the rated one's perceptions, thoughts, or actions. Now, tell me the answer.

E-N-S. Anagram number two. E-C-P-O-S. Definition, the rated one's perceptions, thoughts, or actions.

Now, tell me the answer. You have ten seconds left. Scope. Try saying, the answer is, followed by your guess.

The answer is scope. You got it. You scored 500. Anagram number three.

L-S-E-S-B. Definition, to make holy by religious right. Strengthify. Now, tell me the answer.

Less. You got it. Round complete. You scored 1,500.

And your rank is 7,342 on 42,000 players. Play again? No. OK.

We'll play some other time. Goodbye. Hmm. Had a little bit of trouble understanding me, didn't it?

But, yeah, I don't know. I've got this MacBook that I record onto. And I don't know if it's getting a bit old. Shouldn't be.

It's not that old. But the fans do kick in. And maybe that kind of white noise puts her off. I don't know.

I think it might be that they're just getting really bad at understanding these days. The Show 10 in the kitchen, which is a really quite new device. You really have to shout at it. And I don't know if it's something unusual about this house.

But anyway, I don't know if you guys feel the same. If you do, let me know. At USA2, number two in the middle of the day on Twitter. Or the email is at the end.

But anyone with an echo, I think, might find it interesting and helpful. Perhaps. Sure. There you go, guys.

Oh, and don't forget Wordle, talking about five-letter words. Wow. What a brilliant game that is. We try not to miss a single day.

This is Robin, signing off. And we'll speak in tomorrow. Feedback, comments, demos. The...podcast at gmail.com Recast.fm
