SOCKS Is a valid Scrabble US word for 11 pts.

undefined. An internal development name that remained after general release.An IETF standard (RFC 1928, 1929, and 1961) networking proxy protocol that enables clients on one side of a firewall server to gain full access to clients on the other side without a direct Internet Protocol (IP) connection.The SOCKS server authenticates and authorizes requests from one side of the server, establishes a proxy connection to the other side, and relays data between the two through the use of secure sockets negotiated between client and server over a virtual circuit on a session-by-session basis. This process enables clients behind the firewall to gain full access to the Internet, but prevents unauthorized access from the Internet to the internal hosts. SOCKSv5, the current version, supports a variety of authentication methods and supports User Datagram Protocol (UDP) proxy. SOCKS runs at the Session Layer (Layer 5) of the OSI Reference Model. SOCKSv5 is a cross-platform technique, working across multiple operating systems (OSs) and browsers. SOCKSv5 also interoperates on top of IPv4, IPsec, PPTP, L2TP, and other lower-level protocols. See also authentication, authorization, browser, client, firewall, host, IETF, Internet, IP, IPsec, IPv4, IPv6, L2TP, OS, OSI Reference Model, PPTP, protocol, proxy, server, session, Session Layer, socket, tunneling, UDP, and virtual circuit.

Tips to Choose the Best Scrabble Word to Play

The perfect Scrabble word for you to play depends on your goals for the game, but we’ve got some hints to help you choose:

  • Think about your next move. If you can, pick a word that leaves you with a great vowel or high-scoring letter to use next turn (provided your opponent doesn’t play on it, of course).
  • Use your high-scoring letters when you can. Choose a Scrabble word that makes use of those high points.
  • Try to place high-scoring letters on squares that multiply their score when at all possible. Some of your Scrabble word options will be better for this than others.
  • Don’t forget to have fun, no matter which word you choose to play!
