How good IS Megaword?

[MegaWord]

Thanks Lalatan. I was playing better than usual that day, (Halloween actually) probably 20 words higher per game. The night before I had a headache and went to sleep early, slept about 10 hours. I think the extra rest helped. It was a great day of Wordtwist. The record game, though bitter sweet, proves to me that 2,000 pts is realistically achievable.

Congrats on another epic game and a new all-time high!! (When I played this board last week I only got 2 words. )

[5x5] 1891 pts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIihGIkyHdY

I haven't seen this puzzle all month, I knew when I started it was gonna be good. The first half I had over 1,100 pts, basically at 2,200+ pts pace. My nerves affected me greatly toward the end. It's nice to have both all-time records on 5x5 improved this month. (Careful with the audio, it recorded static, I'm trying to get some music to replace it)

I didn't mean to cause a great eclipse. Nevertheless, 200 words is a great milestone, congratulations!

Of course, I'm kidding. 316 words is off the charts awesome! Also, thank you iBnutz for the kind words

I just finally crossed the 200 word plateau yesterday. Can't you at least give me a 24 hour window to bask in my own glory?

Brisul, 200 words was just AWESOME!

New words record on 5x5 - 316 wds! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Um0vQKaszM

The puzzle was ideal, had a plenty of words and most of them I could type quick. My fingers were feeling a bit sticky and I wasn't fully warmed up yet. I didn't feel much nerves, cause I didn't realize I was at such a good pace, made all kinds of errors throughout. Encouraging though, seeing the potential for much improvement.

sometimes...I play in my head, just before I nod off to sleep...it's kinda weird and slightly disconcerting, but then.....I smash it because my brain puts in which ever letters suit the string it's working on....zzzzzz.

How good is Brisul??? Yaaaay!

I've never had an average in the 990's for longer than one game in all my time on the 5x5 boards. I just now reached a 995 average in my 28th game of the month! Yes, I'm patting myself on the back

I do that sometimes. Just stare at boards while not logged in, not even looking at consonants and just focusing on vowels to see what I can string together. Gets a little tedious and I tend to drift back to playing real games and as soon as I do I just don't key in fast enough on words that start with vowels.........

[MegaWord]

I'm not sure how to help you, but I have that problem with the ch, ph, words, basically double consonant starting words. I see them much slower and neglect them more often. I get confused easy cause they're more complicated to me. Maybe a way to train vowel words is to play some games intending only to find words that start with vowels, that will force you to improve.

[RussDNails]

Nice work............I'll likely never achieve what you do but I wish I could get a little closer to at least be able to push you a little bit! I'm a decent typist with a fairly strong vocabulary but my Achilles heel is that I simply cannot train my brain to see words that start with vowels. When I come across a board you've scored 1200-1500 I usually get 900-1000 and when I look at your word list you typically have 50-60 more words than I do and 90% start with vowels. Plus I usually know most all of these words but just don't see them. If I could somehow train myself to see the words that start with vowels I'm sure I could rapidly increase both my average and number of words per game. If you want some real competition, tell me how to reprogram my brain to see words that start with vowels
