It's in an earlier post in this thread too! Congrats!

Actually, I must have misspoke. My personal records page shows I got 951 last month. I already don't remember it. That's probably a symptom of something. But I am sure that I never got over 900 any other times.

No, this game I displayed is my all-time high. The previous high I posted a few weeks ago beat my all-time record by 100 points. I've been playing for about ten years, so it was a big bump. Thanks for the congratulations. And thanks to Jedmedgrey, too (I don't think I'd even have found "maudlinnesses"). My hand problems haven't been cured, but concentrating on high-point and extra-rare words allows me to get really high points-per-word scores on the 5x5 game. As usual, though, near the end of the game my fingers got all tied up and I typed the same nice word five times without getting it right even once as time ran out. I should have been capable of at least 90 words on this board.

[Naboka]

An average of 12.19 points per word. If I could just type a little better, I'd have cracked 1000. There's always another board!

Envious of those kind of points per words.

Awesome.

Sometimes, when you haven't posted for a while I wonder... I know you have similar hand problems.

Have you hit 1,000 points before? Guess I could find out without asking, but the lazy bones in the skull...

On another note: just one of the head scratchers of Wortwist. Played this game before breakfast. Came back up this afternoon playing a few while waiting for the wife to get ready. Sure can be a benefit having seen a board again that soon. Had the advantage of knowing not to waste time trying longer wods that just weren't there.

Maybe I should just give up trying to plug in long words altogether.

...

nah.

Failures keep us humble.

Ooops. She's ready! And I'm in trouble for not having my shoes on.

And the bladder is crying out!

Decisions, decisions.

Well done, bwt!

Regarding project avoidance... How much harder do you think an orange board would be than a red board? I've always been surprised at the thinness of the orange words relative to red. Probably someone has discussed this previously... For myself, I'm pretty sure I couldn't even do a green board...

[JedMedGrey]

Well done, Naboka!

Very nice! I knew it was only a matter of time. What is your next goal?

Thanks, both dannyb and lalatan.

The actual goal is a Red Board with more than 100 UR words. So, I've havent't quite reached it.

When that happens, I'll do a mike drop and start working fulltime on several portraits I've got backlogged.

Though, playing Wortwist is an excellent project avoidance mechanism.

I suppose if I were getting paid rather than doing favors, the story would be different. But, I can be insufferably lazy at times. Like a seal on the beach: not a care and content to just lay there.

[lalatan]

A spectacular and unique achievement. My hearty congrats to you!

[Naboka]

Finally, a Red Board.

Just not 100 UR words, so...

On with the quest.

Half way through, was sure I'd typoed. Thought I'd left the e off saine, so typed it twice. Probably just as well as I was struggling to find anything else--though there were plenty.

These are out of typed order. Started with kai, the next column would begin with snaw and the last with aswing.

I haven't posted in a while as I've decided to take a back seat from posting for the time being. I enjoy playing for the fun of it as I'm not trying to be a "big fish" like the awesome Naboka, Megaword, MPD, etc. All are phenomenal players, and my hat goes off to them. I enjoy playing both grids and hit a milestone today playing 5X5. When the admin, a while back, indicated that a high score of 1k or more would warrant recycling that particular 5X5 grid instead of the previous 600 score I thought to myself, whelp, I'll never accomplish that. I did just that today. I know it's not a big accomplishment, but it was for me. Happy playing everyone. [TABLE="border: 0, cellpadding: 3, cellspacing: 1"]


Congrats!

Over a 1,000 points!

Awesome milestone.

Thank you, Naboka. Hope all is well with you. BTW, I ordered The Art of Learning by Waitzkin via Amazon, and I'm looking forward to the read.
