Yes, an excellent start. I assume you ran out of time to play QUINQUAGINTILLIARDTHS. The long word names that are worth >= 50 pts sure don't come around...

[lalatan]

Not really much of an achievement but this is the thread where I previously posted this topic. I discovered an even richer set of 8 words. I found it...

Sad to say marshmallows don't make me happy. As a kid in the 60's I somewhat enjoyed the campfire charred ones but never gorged myself like others in...

Oops, I looked up my screenshot of the first time I set records w DICHLORODIFLUOROMETHANES and the old pt value was 42, not 44 as I stated in my other...

Spike, I thought I'd post this curious anomaly for you. This is very likely the only time in WordTwist history when we are joint best/longest word record...

I spotted SUGGESTION on a board. It's so common I knew it'd be worth next to nothing ... then I saw -ized. Yup, that's right; I played SUGGESTIONIZED...

For the first 9 months of this year, I set 8,619 best/longest word records and lost 474 of them, an attrition rate of 5.5%. Although I've worked hard...

Congrats. (I'm a little confused though since I know you found a 52-point long number last August.) I never memorized the long number names. I definitely...

I like the "stroaming" word too.

Today I found PHYTOPLANKTERS (27/14) for the first time. After seeing PHYTOPLANK- I thought the...

Thanks for your compliment.
I think the APPW competition should have an official rule stipulating a limit of 1 word or more/game avg (and make it...

[lalatan]

Yes, I did not find a longer word. I'm glad you were inspired.

I only play a board if the stats tell me I have a chance of winning both best...

Thanks Russ! Playing yesterday was a lot of fun; the gray matter was firing on all cylinders and I was offered a lot of good games. After I submitted...

[lalatan]

Congats. Yes, it is something and has significance for you. I learned you have to take pleasure in your small victories since you have to be self-motivated/self-encouraging...

[lalatan]

Conversely, I learned a long and odd word last week: QUERIMONIOUSNESSES. I first saw -nesses, then -monious- so I assumed the word would be CEREMONIOUSNESSES....

[lalatan]

Kate, as I recall it you didn't name any names and it was general griping. I remember thinking, "She'll find out soon enough that the top players...

[lalatan]

Thanks. Also thanks for the info; I'll watch for some supreme fluffiness and the 28 pts it comes with.
lol, I was never gored by the horns of that...

[lalatan]

Amazing, great find Spike!

I always marveled that 3 of our days of the week are named after Norse deities. I attributed it to possibly the...

Yesterday while playing 5x5 I found PERSNICKETIEST for 27 pts/2 records (I actually found it after playing it a month after I posted about finding PERNICKETIEST...
