Muddle timing

Tom,

I've been playing Muddle for awhile now, and this never used to bother me but now (since I've been playing more) it drives me nuts: I usually don't get my full 120 seconds of playing time.

It could be a webtv problem, but it doesn't happen in other timed games on other sites. I know we lose some time when we hit enter to play the words we've found (webtv just isn't as fast as a PC in that regard), but it's more than that -- I think I'm fairly decent at finding the words, but will type in 12 words and suddenly only have 30 seconds left to play (and on a game that has more than 100 words, it drives me nuts)
I know I've gotten my full 120 seconds when I find more than 25 words -- and that isn't often.

Any ideas?

thanks!
