HYPEREXCITED is a word, but HYPEREXCITE is two words, not one.

That may have been the -ZINC- word I found before (or not). However, I remember doing the same thing you did. I found the ends & had to fill in the middle somehow. Anyway, good job!

Spike, I didn't see your edit until today. Thanks for the congrats. Congrats to you on your silver trophy and your ongoing excellence! I saw a really good word you came up with on 1 board but forgot it now. lol, just way too many words swirling around in my head.
I'm still tracking my daily stats. I quite like it; seems to motivate me when I see the daily totals. At first I hesitated to do it since I thought I could get obsessed with it but that hasn't happened. The elves are pretty crazy with my long word totals since I'm setting up to 30 long word records/day. The most dramatic so far is a loss of 28 for 2 days, a gain of 44 the next day and then a loss of 19 the day after. Strangely it balances out with a few extra credits every month.
Today I played STIRPICULTURES. I saw the word somewhere and actually remembered to play it!

lalatan, thanks for the elf update. I haven't kept track in a while, certainly not since the migration. Maybe now that they're working days, we have a chance to catch them in the act.
By the way, a belated congrats for your (not unexpected) 1st place last month (as thinkbig)!
For those not familiar with the elf problem, a while back I started keeping track of my current lifetime stats for best & longest words. These should of course go up when you set a record and go down when someone beats your record on that board. I've pretty much confirmed that the counts do go up as I set records. Going down is to be expected, but I realized that the longest words record count would often increase overnight, and then decrease some the next day. I assumed that elves were playing for me.Last edited by Spike1007; 05-02-2019, 04:22 PM.

Spike: Since the server migration, the elves moved to the day shift and they only work every third day or so. They must have signed a lucrative contract with WordTwist to get hours like that.
Yesterday I found SQUAMOUSNESSES for 30 pts/ 2 records. I played squamous (having scales, scaly) in the past but don't think I found the -nesses version before.Last edited by lalatan; 05-02-2019, 04:12 PM.

VEXILLOLOGICAL
MECHANOMORPHISM
FLEXOGRAPHICALLY
These were all guesses, and to me, they were unexpected.

Some impressive finds there Spike! You're a very skilled "guesser."
Edit: I just played a board where I couldn't find much of anything. I tried COMMONSENSE, which to my surprise was accepted. (UNCOMMONSENSE was not.) It was only worth 13 pts so I nuked the game.Last edited by lalatan; 04-10-2019, 02:31 PM.

The most unexpected thing for me is when I go to click on a game and I see that MY name is listed for longest word record. :-D
