I'm part of the 600 club now! I just bested my previous highest score and word count. 632 points and 129 words! I know the high scores are only temporary; I'm just happy to be improving. Happy playing Naboka.
It was cooler today at 72.

OOH! I hit one of my goals! I like playing long words and also playing for points. I pretty much never beat Lalatan or the other big word players, but I can *match* them sometimes. So, to give myself a target, I want to at least match the big word AND get the high points. I finally got one today! woohoo!

lalatan, thanks! I did get a little carried away once I saw 45 was in reach. (I figured that was kind of a symbolic goal, since under the old scoring that could never have happened.) Anyway, I'm taking it easier this month.

Spike, I think you made a notable achievement last month when you reached 45.242 pts/word w an avg words/game of >1 in the APPW competition last month, an amount never reached before. (Who would have thought a year ago such a thing could ever happen?) I admire your word knowledge, patience and perseverance that it took to attain that lofty mark. Congrats!! (I don't see myself ever trying to challenge it.)
Also, congrats to L9UR91 for winning the gold 4x4 APPW last month. I sent you a PM 4 months ago but don't know if you've even seen it yet since there's no notification that a new msg came in.

You may. I don't play 5x5 for reasons listed elsewhere. Mostly poor reading and typing skills. I thrive on high-point 3, 4 and 5 letter words. 5x5 is for people who can process letters into words faster than I can.
I'm mildly dyslexic. Even with numbers. Our eyes see everything upside down, but our brains reprocess that information and turn the images rightside up. Somehow my eyes and brain aren't really in synch so I've had to learn to add extra processing steps in converting alphanumeric symbols into meaningful sequences. The imagery goes in, wanders around for a while, sits on a park bench to rest, then manages to deliver its package to an overworked clerk who rolls her eyes, brushes off the cookie crumbs and puts the pieces in order. Slows everything down considerably. And the clerk is constantly distracted by streams of gossip.

So true. I've walked by the fireplace in my basement thousands of times in the 12 years I've been in my current house. One day last year I managed to catch my foot on the corner of the cement flashing, nearly did a summersault across my basement and broke my foot.
Today I was attempting the simplest of plumbing repairs and managed to rip a chunk of skin off my typing thumb with a piece of duct tape of all things You may see my scores take a hit!
Cheers,
Russ

Crazy how personal high scores can jump by large amounts. You look down and wonder WTF!

Originally posted by Naboka View PostThere is at least one exception. I enjoy seeing when and how someone beat my scores. Doesn't embarrass me a bit. Just a learning experience that one can grow from.
Congrats to you both on setting new personal bests! Enjoy the games.Last edited by lalatan; 11-24-2021, 02:45 PM.
