I did it. I bought the premium version. The folks at PeopleFun were so nice to Heather when she had a problem, I decided they were worth supporting. Besides, it's nice not to have the ads, and to have unlimited Chumbot play. For those times when I'm not overwhelmed by games with real people, who all seem to make their moves at once. :)

Qi (or "ki" in Japanese transliteration) is also used for plain old physics energy (e.g. "denki" being "electricity", or "thunder energy"), but of course your physics profs didn't think to teach you Japanese, did they? You'll find the "ki" all over the place: aikido ("meet-energy-path"), "ki o tsukete" ("take care", literally "direct your spirit/energy"), "kimochi ga warui" ("energy-carrying is bad" - "I'm feeling sick"). Good to know it's scrabblable!

Qi is energy in Taoist thought. It is also transliterated "chi". I play solitaire and chess on my phone. Chess, I can either play with the phone (as if with a computer), or with someone else via internet. Both are downloaded to the phone, so no ads. Both games are available free at Google Playstore. (That's the place for non-iPhone users.)
