The last post got flagged as potential spam.

Guess I've lost my trusted poster status.

First I can't find my keys, then I lose my status.

Life is just sooooo hard sometimes.

As stated in the previous post, beat my personal record for number of ultra-rare words.

Good words to know for better scores.

Tied my best number of UR words the other day.

Was gonna post it, but decided not...

Then beat that today, so...

Like always: it's mostly common ultra rare words. Not mysterious. Just learning them.

Today's record is in the following post.

Congrats and welcome back!

Thanks! I'm going to take this month off from playing enough games to compete, but it was nice to be back to start the year

Congrats and welcome back!

As far as accomplishments, it was a terrific month! I hit a new single game high score and word count for myself at 1275 and 214. I raised my career average score by over three points and crossed the 3 million point mark. Definitely a good month to come out of a 10 month retirement.

Great month in the highest average score per game category. I hadn't played in 10 months and was a little surprised at how quickly it was coming back to me. Initially, I wasn't planning to compete, but then I started monitoring the high scorers from the month before and thought I had a good chance at placing in the top three. The one person I didn't monitor was Mackers2, and that was who came in and bumped me out of 3rd place. Well done! By the time I saw it, it was too late for me to catch up and take back the 3rd spot.

Here was my most interesting success at beating a board after 40 plays. I couldn't get best high score and best word in the same game, so I guess this is the rarely attempted staggered approach, and a cool word!

Is it bad form to include an image of the game?

Not at all! Lots of players post their favorite boards here on the forum.

Thanks for playing!

My favorite thing to accomplish doesn't end up in the "Best Of" awards, but I enjoy it: In a game that has had a lot of players, I like to match the longest word AND beat the high score! I rarely beat the longest word when it's been found by the big players, but I feel pretty great when I match them. :-)

Just discovered something I'm kind of proud of and thought I'd share.. with January's results, I've had 63 consecutive months in the Top 10 monthly average points per word for 4x4 :-D i actually started playing in 2010, but then was away for a few years before returning as a regular in 2018.

I've had so much fun with this site... it's my go-to time-filler when i've got a few minutes (or more) here and there. Part of the enjoyment is the fact that there is a community around it, and it's neat to see so many names that feel almost like friends (or at least friendly acquaintances) who've been around as long as i have... or even longer! As well as newer folks who are active in the games and forums. It's fun even just seeing the many cute/interesting screen names that show up in the game stats.

So just generally thanks to all of you who've kept this place going for so long and make it so robust and lively, and to our Admin who keeps the whole thing running smoothly! :-D

admin, I think I can tell the restriction is loosened, but when i made a correction and post, and then see a typo and correct it and repost maybe less than a minute later, it got flagged. Maybe you could also check if very little change is made in the editing and not flag it for a change of one character, or allow a little more time to pass, for the common case where some one posts and then immediately sees a mistake (I know, that's what "preview" is for, silly me).

folkslinger, thanks, and I'm glad your family is doing well. ! Actually I was surprised you didn't pop up on the boards yesterday ahead of me.

[folkslinger]

Congratulations to Spike1007, Dasan, and lalatan on finishing 1, 2, 3 in APPW! sorry I wasn't in the competition due to family illness but everybody is feeling fine now. I may continue the break from competition. I don't know yet. But I will be at least watching rooting for all of you. Best of luck!
