    I didn't notice anything. What did you see, and when?

      For me on Saturday, I played a few games in the morning then couldn't access the site again until evening. I assumed it was a server problem or something.

        Maybe I've been watching sports too much lately. COMMISH was worth a try.

        On the same board, COMMONISES isn't a word either.

          In the past, I may have let my ego get in the way and not gotten enough games to qualify on purpose if I knew I wouldn't make the top three. I threw my ego out the window, because I think there is still something special about finishing with a score over 900. Congrats to the players who finished in the top three. Your skills are immense.

            Sadly, there is no such thing as MICROMANIA or a MICROMANIAC.

              What a shame! Would that have been the opposite of a megalomaniac, or someone who was pathologically interested in tiny houses?

                OKRATHEISTS - vegetable worshippers - sadly not a word

                  Sadly, EVITABILITIES is not a word.

                    METASADIST didn't count. (Someone who takes pleasure in watching other people take pleasure in the pain of others?)

                      HELICORE didn't work. Not sure why I even thought it might. (It's a brand of strings for violin-family instruments.)

                        No points for AQUAMAN. And now these lyrics are stuck in my head:

                        Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
                        As I make you stop, think
                        You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
                        I summon fish to the dish,
                        Although I like the Chalet Suisse
                        I like the sushi
                        Cause it's never touched a frying pan

                        (But I did get points for AQUAMARINES on the same board.)

                          Unfortunately OVERJUNKIFIED was not accepted nor was JUNKIFIED. I'm sure it would have yielded a good score. But the game had a happy ending for me when I tried OVERIDENTIFIED (26/14) and it was valid.

                            No points for LEMBAS. Sorry, Tolkien fans.

                              And although ETHNOMUSICOLOGY is a thing (new records for best and longest word on the board), TECHNOMUSICOLOGY is not a thing.

                                No points for pianola. According to Merriam-Webster a perfectly good word
