You know you've played too much Scramble when you look at a word and think 'BUS?! But BU isn't a word!'

You know you've played too much scramble when you look forward to going to bed(cus you know the next time you're awake, your tokens will be full)

whens this season supposed to end curtains?

i'm ready to get back in. i'm jonesing. i'm playing randoms and it's pairing me up with donuts who get 20 words/round. just played a round 2 and there was only a total of 108 words. lol.

Screenshot? I think the lowest I've ever seen is 160 words possible, would be cool to see such a ridiculously dry board.

41 words wooooooooooooooo

obviously wasn't a good round but 10-15 seconds went by with my just running my finger over random letters thinking what the hell is going on

wow @ 108 words. I think I've seen 145 and 163 before, but nothing close to that.

[x] life-long goal achieved!*
[x] still lost by almost 1000

*she only uses one powerup...but still!

She was probably doing the scrabble version of blindfold chess.

GJ though.

I lost the record of the 1st round game I played against mnislander after playing a bunch of casual games against ststunna and thechronick in the last 2 hours. I'm pretty sure I won 5-0 but small chance it was 4-1. I've added it as 5-0 in the spreadsheet, hopefully mnislander can corroborate.

I'm consistently about 80 pts worse than thechronick in every round, it feels close but he's always found just a little more than I have.

That 108 words board is sick, I see like nothing there.

You know you've played too much scramble when you make up boards in your head and start making words when trying to fall asleep at night.

Also, that 108 word board would be the most tilting game ever, I might chuck my phone across the room after something like that

Wow you beat Lyndsey a round! I hope we can someday get the league strong enough so that she can join and it can be competitive.

Yeah......that's a pretty awesome feat, Tim.

This season ends Sept 4 or so, next one will begin like Sep 5 or 6th. Are you still on the email list? Do you want me to just add you to next season now?

I still got your emails at the beginning of the season, but I haven't gotten any lately. I don't know if you haven't sent any out or what. That'll be great. If you want, I can challenge you since there are a ton of new groups. I won group four in season 2, and kinda mailed it in in season 3 cause I was so busy. Let me know!

Hi Eltbus, I'll just put you somewhere in accordance with your ranking from the previous season. Probably if there are 6 groups it'll be in the 5th group or so, but we might even be up to 7 next time. A lot of the new players are quite good so it should be reasonably fair.

Sounds good!

Took a 300 pt lead into the last round against thechronick and couldn't hold it. So frustrating! I must win one.

Missed your chance to overtake TimM for number of words in one round Chronicles.

Ugh I got so many 170's and 180's in the past two days. Been playing a lot. Stars would have to align for me to break Tim's record.

Oh also: Primetime, blackize and Bacon...challenge me!!!

Probably not warmed up, used 0-1 powerups, got two phone calls during the round, loud music in the background, touchscreen glitched, etc...

But still, I'm extremely jealous. I'm not sure what the closest I've ever gotten to winning a round vs her is but it's certainly triple digits. Maybe like a 900-750 round 1 or something, once.

Wow I've only got that once. I know curtains swears against two letter words but now would have been a good time to whip one out at the last second.

No I guess it wouldn't hurt but the way I see it is, the time used studying could be better used by getting more experience playing the game. Just how I see it though, it is more than likely different for a lot of people .

I have played for about 11 years or so now, so a long time

Gotta be honest, but I can't believe that it's at all possible that directed study wouldn't be the fastest way to the top, just like it is for almost every skill activity there is. Obviously there is plenty of time to play 10-30 rounds per day and still study a little bit in the meantime. I just can't see any logical reason why boggle would somehow be an exception to the "studying helps a lot" rule.

I've seen massive improvements in my game in just the last few weeks IMO, mainly from studying some key word groups that there is no chance I would have known from simply playing. I'd have found them out eventually, but it doesn't seem like it hurt to have sped up the process. Also studying this game is exceptionally simple, much easier than poker, chess or anything else I've had to study.

Of course it's a lot less fun than just playing over and over though
