I did it. Much earlier than expected, too -- a couple of months ago, I figured such a score was impossible. Then I revised that to where I thought it would take years to accomplish.

The best part? This wasn't a low-1900s game. It was a total, utter blowout of every Top 50 game ever played. The trip sum was 1357, higher than average but nothing phenomenal. The non-trip sum, however, was 586, which is unbelievably high. There is practically no point in playing anymore -- quite simply, barring divine intervention, I don't think anyone will ever beat this, including myself.
I was playing for an hour or so, all mediocre games that were ended early, and I said "I'll play one more game, and then I'm gone." -- this was that one more game. What a relief. I can die happily now. It's over. :-))))

Just started playing the game, and it's fun.
The game instructions say that Scribble uses the Official Scrabble Players Dictionsry, version 3, but just in my first days here, I have seen many words accepted that are not in there. Examples: iraq, joyce, nile, ok, tv, ufo, yale. What is the source of these extra words?
The instructions also say that a legal word must consist of two or more letters, but the game also accepts the one-letter words a and i. It should not accept "i" because it is always capitalized (unless you're thinking of letter grades or mathematical symbols, which opens up a new can of worms--shouldn't all letters then be acceptable?). |

if they've read the instructions and guide and are making honest mistakes, then i have never seen anyone belittle anyone. it's the people that continually mess the boards up with no regard for anyone. it's a co-op game and that works both ways. for the new comers and the old timers. if a new comer just wants to play their way with no regard for the rules, why should an old timer be nice? they are the ones that aren't making an effort. this is co-op and that means we work together, not alone. you can practically just go down the list of words and pick out who made them. it's the same people making the same plays that mess up the board. this is scribble, not scrabble. and when suggestions are offered, then it is the suggestor who all of a sudden becomes the enemy; needs to lighten up; is picking on the webbies... etc. baloney. it's the webbies who purposely make a word that nullifies the triple and then they want everyone to conform to their way of playing or else they are being picked on. i find it suspicious that the only people who purposely mess up the board are webbies. and therefore, i believe they do it on purpose and are not senile seniors trying to keep their noggin ticking. |

I'm tired of all the bickering on the boards. Please be nice. I thought this was supposed to be fun? I can't tell you how many people are driven away after playing once. Maybe that makes some people happy. Not me. I like to think everyone is welcome, not just the few chosen.
I know of 2 elderly people (on webtv) who play this game. They play the game, in their words, "to keep the noggin<sp?> ticking." When they are belitteled, they email me and ask why. I have no explanation for the behavior toward beginners.
Thanks Tom for providing the games. I know one Senior Center that loves 'em.
Off to play some games,
webber
