That's another good word with a medical definition. I've only heard of it in connection to a hernia. So, I was wondering if there were any other common uses of it.

Thank you! I'm not sure why I took the chance. So many times, I try something that seems perfectly legitimate to me, but it doesn't work.

[bwt1213]

Good find! I'd have never even attempted it. I'll put it down to old-age inflexibility.

Am I getting better at this game? Well, maybe in one way, but I certainly won't set any records for "Total points" or "Total words"! My most recent Best/Longest word is not in lexic.us, but it is in Wiktionary = "one who is looked at"

YOUR STATS:
Best word: LOOKEES (13 pts.) New record!
Longest word: LOOKEES (7 letters) New record!

I just got a "new record' for the longest word on a board that has been played a dozen times:

Best word: TERRORISER (14 pts.) (I found another 14 pt. word also)
Longest word: TERRORISER (10 letters) New record!

Previous records:
Best Word: RESTATION (16 pts)
Longest Word: ITERATION (9 letters)

Congrats to both crazykate & Naboka on your personal achievements!

Finally...

after all these years of...

why can't I find a board with a 37 pt word?

Unfortuneately, dumped the board after finding it...

because...

????

This game...!

ps: Crazykate, the rarity category readout was one of the things that made me wonder about getting a game with only UR words.

Great achievement, crazykate!

I've always seen the breakdown after total words. I made my first account (which I still use occasionally) in 2008, so it's been there for quite a while, lol.

Haha, I guess I've just been ignoring it all this time!

Great achievement, crazykate!

Also, since when does the result show the rarity categories after the total word count? Or have I simply been ignoring this?

Oooh, I just beat a points record while undercutting the total words by 34 words! And that's after it had been played 22 times.

Total points: 547 New record!
Total words: 75 (27 common,11 wide,10 rare,27 ultra rare)

I was just lucky in that I found some really high-scoring words without really trying, but it's a nice result all the same! My personal best this month, and I think my second-best result ever.

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.

[bwt1213]

A new record high, and the first game over 900 -- after ten years.

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.
