Board Orientation.....

[RussDNails]

Anybody ever notice if the boards on Wordtwist are presented in the same orientation each time they appear? I.e. If I play board X today and happen upon it again tomorrow will it be in exactly the same orientation or could the same board appear rotated to a different position?

I've been here quite a while and have never been able to figure this out.

I suspect that the boards do appear in different rotatational orientation each time they get recycled?

I guess I haven't really paid too much attention, but the times I've been able to recognize a board I've played recently, orientation is as I remember it. That happens often enough that I'd expect that if orientation is random, I should have run across three times as many of these "repeats" with different orientations. Of course it's possible that I just don't recognize any of these, but I go for long ultra-rare words (generally 20+ letters) and I should at least have noticed those words repeating if they're there.

I'll second Spike1007, almost exactly what I was thinking.

By the way, my answer really only addresses the case where I run across the same board in the same incarnation, usually on the same day. My memory isn't good enough to say anything about whether orientation changes after recycling.
