    I've been playing for a few years now. Not finding the huge multi-syllabic like many others, which doesn't bother me. What does bother me are seeing words not necessarily of the English language, or usage. Can't come up with one just now, but I know I've seen some defined as, for example, the name of an Egyptian tree found only on t he banks of the Nile. Who uses that in conversation? I have, however, gained peace of mind by discovering here on the chats that players may only play one word! So when I see more words than I can get, and bigger, I find that they would not necessarily, or even usually, be by the same player! What a relief.

    Shorter ones seem to be my forte. I have a few weird little words up my sleeve.

    I don't know how this was missed for so long. (JK, I know it's a weird word.)
    I'm almost certain I learned this word from my esteemed fellow long word hunter, Spike1007, probably 2 years ago.

    PSYCHOTOMIMETICALLY found on 51st play.jpg

    Nice job of finding some green, rose!

    Best word: CHLOROFLUOROMETHANES (38 pts.) New record!
    Longest word: CHLOROFLUOROMETHANES (20 letters) New record!

    Average Score: 214.2 points
    Average Words: 53 words
    High Score: 530 points by tx_eye_guy
    Most Words: 117 words by tx_eye_guy
    Best Word: FROTHER (12 pts) by Kaui

    16 words in green:

    Perhaps not that surprisingly, half of the words in green were related to the long word.

    You're welcome! Glad folks are enjoying it!

    Following DrPlacebo's calculation, on a board played 49 times I not only found a green word, I got the new best word and longest word with....BOWHEADS (14 points, 8 letters). I am nothing if not prosaic.

    Great idea, FelixTheCat. Thank you.

    I would like to point out that I found this word at 11:46 pm. My weeknight bedtime should be about two hours earlier. I'm pretty sure I have a problem.
