In the expert guide it says the highest scoring game in the site's history is 1796 points, but I swear at one time there was a list of the Top 50 highest scoring games and the top score was 1800-something points.
I can't find the list, though -- perhaps Tom deleted some of the expert guide links.
All the real expert players stopped playing -- at one point there was a troll invasion and many regular players gave up since there was no way to stop them from entering the expert games.

Your post piqued my curiosity so I tried searching for the Top 50 games list, but didn't find it.
Tom's deleted archived games before 2009 but I found a message board post from Laura (a former expert player) with a non-functioning link to a Sept. 4, 2004 game with a score of 1848, and her message is to check out the latest 1800+ game, so my memory is correct that the real experts topped 1800 points.
I also think the average game was well over 1400 points, as we stuck to the expert guide and didn't just dump letters or play words at random; everyone really did play cooperatively and tried to attain the highest score. |

Last search -- 1850 is the highest score I can find, it was almost a single-player game (Bad Penny played the first word, then someone else took over). It's in the archived games, played May 21, 2009, look for 21.07.45.34-1850.html
Now I must get ready for Hurricane Irene |
