Though, someone got 114 UR word. (post on 2-17-24)

As they say: records are made to be broken...

without mentioning that willingness to suffer the endless tedium of learning and practice required to do it.

Interesting. I filtered for last week and didn't see that post. Nor did an advanced search for 114 yield anything. So if your mark was bettered we all know you pioneered the technique.

Re: tedium of learning and practice: I calculated that the 92k games I've played have taken 157.7 24-hr days of my life. (I am not the leader in that category.) Of course that doesn't include the amount of time spent sifting through games to find a promising one. That would easily double or triple it. Regardless, I consider it time well wasted. It has alleviated crushing boredom and probably saved me from dementia and preserved my sanity, such as it is.

I agree with Brisul that 111 u-r words found in 2 minutes is a phenomenal achievement! Congrats!! I doubt very much that anyone will ever eclipse your record or even come close to it.

Thanks. lalatan. Appreciate it.

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.

Sorry about that Naboka - not sure why you're not in the Trusted Users category. But I've manually added you now so hopefully you should be queue-free from here on out.

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

Today's record is in the following post.

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

Good words to know for better scores.

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.

[Brisul]

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. :-)
