I'm sure everyone who flips through boards looking for particular characteristics has had this experience...I was clicking through mindlessly and clicked right past a fascinating board.
I was looking for what I think of as "superboards" - ones that have a minimum of 175 common words. A board came up that had only 5 common words and without thinking I clicked past it! I don't mean only 5 four-letter common words or something like that, I mean it had only 5 common words of any length in the entire grid.
Usually I prefer very productive boards, but who could resist such a ridiculous outlier. I have seen 5x5 boards with very low numbers of common words, but rarely fewer than 20 or so and I've never seen one with only 5. I wish I'd stopped and played the board, and taken a screen shot of the stats and the board so I could contemplate it at my leisure.
Anyway, if anyone happens to come across that board and wouldn't mind grabbing the stats and the grid itself, I'd love to see it.
