For over a month I've realized I was going to hit 12345 best word records. What an incredibly fun number. It's the first sequence we memorize in learning numbers.
Now that I've reached it, I don't want to change it. I'm just gonna let it sit.
I've been playing a lot of games to find best words and just dumping them when I did. When I hit 12344, I toyed with the idea of finding a really spectacular word as the final one.
But, that got tedious. And just because a word is long doesn't make it spectacular--including the -izations. Lot of short words can fill us with amazement and insights.
Consequently, my last board was interesting but nothing stellar.

I entertained the notion of pursuing the plus 30 points average, but...

(An acquaintance actually took that climb. Said it was the most miserable experience in his life. His dreams of exceptionalism collapsed into a tourist trap from Hell.)
The last item on my Wordtwist bucket list is to record a 37 point word. That will most likely happen piggybacking off another's find so it won't add a best words record.After that...
to play or not to play
that is the question.
