Gallant Efforts

[DrPlacebo]

If you find HANDSCAPED and get no points for it, you may want to look for other letters nearby that allow you to spell HANDICAPPED.

You can hither. You can thither. At some point you may even have hithered. Unfortunately cannot thithered.

I've been to one. They serve tea and cucumber sandwiches.

[DrPlacebo]

No points for PALEOSOCIAL.

CEREALISM isn't a thing, even if some of us like Schoenberg for breakfast.

[crazykate]

I knew it wouldn't be accepted... But when I saw this game, I just had to try PUMBAA.
Hakuna matata!

[DrPlacebo]

No points for SUPERPANTS...

I could imagine what being IMMUNOADVENTUROUS might mean, but it's not actually a word.

I love this "word" I am definitely going to use it.

[DrPlacebo]

No points for MIGRAINIER.

I love the words you come up with! Why is it so hard to get these words into a dictionary? Shakespeare had it easy!

OTTOMANCY isn't a thing. So much for the idea of conjuring up some furniture.

SALTINI is neither a cocktail nor the plural of saltine.

Well, this is looking promising.

Trying to average 10 points a word with at least 80 words. Not a concerted effort--just a casual, opportunistic approach when the board stats suggest the possibility.

Disciplining oneself not to type in all those smaller words that have become automatic over the years is proving to be harder than anticipated. Seems that trying to stop yourself really throws a wrench into your rhythms and the whole train loses momentum.

Not the kind of numbers bwt1213 puts up on 5x5, but I'm pretty happy.

Nothing like a challenge to keep things interesting.

Well, Naboka, on the 5x5 game you don't have an average to defend. You could type a lot slower -- many fewer words per minute -- and push your appw score up far better than mine, AND average a higher total score than you do on the 4x4 game. You could simultaneously be among the leaders for total score and appw, and probably do pretty decently on the words/game score as well. But it is just a game, and you can choose to spend your recreation time as you wish.
