Im requesting scrabble gamescript. So, bot will generate random letters and players makes words of it. Im not telling all of it, so Wikipedia tells.
Script would have a list of allowed words, that any words that doesn't make sense is not acceptable. I have generated list of finnish words (this is coming to finnish channel) but as a tip, with Wiktionary and AutoWikiBrowse can be generated list of english words and many other languages.
It would be nice that it would have generated *.html high scores but that's optional.

That's a pretty huge request, particularly in supplying an adequate dictionary. Displaying that large of a board would also be troublesome, because it would be painfully slow (take a look at the tic tac toe game for example, thats only a 3x3 square.)
It's an interesting suggestion, but for me I think it's much too large a project for one person. Just cross-checking each square (similar to how the tictactoe game does) would require something like 500 tests per letter/turn.
Maybe some other programmers here would like to make a project team? Anyone here good at herding a dev team?
Sorry, i've been trying to think the right word of the game. It's not like scrabble, but players just have to make words from generated letters. Not the board thingy and that..
Ahh you want a boggle type game. That might not be so difficult. Unfortunately, we just moved and I've been busy with real life, so I don't know if I'd be able to work on such a script right now. I can add it to my "todo" list, if no one else wishes to take on the project.
In the meantime, you might like the word scramble games that are already in the archive. They give you a scramble word and your players have to guess the word. It uses a text file dictionary, so you can use whatever words you want (mine uses words from the obsolete words dictionary just to make it harder http://phrontistery.info/ihlstart.html )
