I found a 54 pt word today so I was the first to find a 50, 52 and 54 pt word. As shown in 1 attachment below both Spike and RussDNails were so very close. I was fortunate to win the luck of the draw on all 3 of them. My thanks to you, MegaWord, for sharing the link to the mammoth words list.

Nice work Lalatan...............if I had to put money on anybody it would have been you! They should make Wordtwist like Scrabble: 50 bonus points for using all the letters
You think this is the upper limit?Comment

I don't think I can even pronounce that, let alone spell that.Comment

Thanks Russ.
I support getting a bonus for using all the letters. I actually thought that when I first found a 25 letter word on Wordtwist. (Typing this now triggered a memory of when I played POLESTAR in Scrabble back in the 90's. I got 2 triple word scores and wound up with 140 pts, my best scoring word ever in that game.)
MegaWord correctly predicted there would likely be a 54 pt word. When I found QUINQUAQUINQUAGINTILLIARD (52/25) I thought that would be the one since there are 4 q's in the word. But apparently 2 q's and an x outrank it. I do think 54 pts is the ceiling now. None of the other available words have as many "special characters" as those 2.
kate, it's the same drill as usual: learn the prefixes and their order. When I see quinqua- on a board it gets my full attention because there's going to be something big there. (I suspect your comment was rhetorical but I typed this just in case.)
flopsy, the first i and a are short vowels and the g is soft. (I know you were dying to know.
) The only time I say the word is when I tell my wife I found it. Beyond that I don't expect to use it. lol

Had to chuckle at that...very helpful...I think I will die someday, still not knowing...Comment

As well you should be. Perhaps one day I will break 800, but I'm not expecting it any time soon. No way I will touch 1,000 unless the timer breaks and allows me unlimited time on a really good board. That has happened, but not ever for me and not recently for anyone.Comment
