"Funny. I was looking through the official rules (http://hoylegames.sierra.com/rules/hoy_wdx_rules.jsp) for Wordox and nowhere did I find that passing was acceptable.What an odd occurrence."
Want to talk about odd... I have the Hoyle Word Games CD with the rules for Wordox in the manual and it states
"If you choose to not make a word on your turn you may pass to your opponent" .
Are we in The Twilight Zone?
If need be i guess i can have the rulebook scanned and posted online for any naysayers out there that still dont understand why a pass button was included on the game.
And for anyone that cares i may not choose to pass or then again i might , depends on how i feel the odds are gonna fall so if you want to give me a free win on the chance that i might pass feel free :-)

Thanks for the post. :)
I wasn't aware there was another rules listing for Wordox somewhere, and I acquiesce to the quotation. And don't worry - I trust you when you say it's there. ;)
Let me clarify that I'm not naive enough to not understand why the pass button exists. It IS there as a strategic option, and I understand that people will use it.
My point, however, is that I'd rather they not. I object to its use, but moreover I object to its inclusion in the first place. I'd rather everybody play the racks they're given, but if there's an option not to do that then some will take it. I just wish that second option weren't there, but of course that would alter Wordox.
It needs to be there. I just don't like it. That's all.
Even if the pass button was not there, though... people could still just let the timer run out, right?
