They do indeed know some scarily obscure words. Comforting for us mortals, though, that neither player got the first rather easy (IMO) numbers round ((75+7)x6).Charlie Reams wrote:And I enjoyed watchingPaul Howe wrote:Not exactly high scoring, but really enjoyed this game with Ben P

There was actually some weird laggy bug that caused the patience bars to time out instantly in that round, and the whole game was badly affected by lag, so I hope the server can hold out under the strain of APTOBASHPhil Reynolds wrote:They do indeed know some scarily obscure words.

Thanks, and i'll give back the compliment coz you've also improved loads at Speedgoat, still trashing me every timeJimmy wrote:yeah go youOliver Garner wrote:Despite only getting 4 maxes in the entire game, I am pleased to (finally) get my first century.
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=15658I was thinking you must be the most improved player on apterous. From being thumped almost every game when you first started you've improved loads since then. Your persistency has payed off. Well played man !
It's a different ball game of memory. If you have ASNI in a selection, then ASSASSINS may be one of the best words to go for. I'm sure someone can produce a list of high probability 4 letters (e.g. AESR) and the longest word that can be made from these such as ARSES or ARREARS.Kai Laddiman wrote:In 2 Unlimited games, I have managed to get two baseball caps (for PESSIMISM and ASSASSINS). Yay!
I just had a round that mentioned REASSESSES so that should be AERS covered at leastKirk Bevins wrote:It's a different ball game of memory.

One down, loads more to go
Well worthy of note, good stuff. As a CSW-to-ODE convert, you'd probably benefit from spending some time studying -SOL words (ARIDISOL, VERTISOL, etc) on which, unusually, the ODE is considerably more permissive than CSW.Chris Davies wrote:Not sure if it's noteworthy, but I finished this game 4 points shy of the maximum.

James buzzed incorrectly on 6 seconds, yet Jimmy buzzed correctly on 5.6 seconds. Curious. This happened in one of my games too.Jimmy wrote:http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=18180
Looking at the summary, I did even better than i realised, missing just one max - AMOEBIC - which I've missed twice before! Wow I think this is actually my best ever game
Quality game. If we had some kind of "game of the week" feature then that would be in it.Junaid Mubeen wrote:Probably the most tense game I've ever had online.

Certainly was a nailbiter; I was nowhere near that conundrum so a well deserved win for Junaid.Junaid Mubeen wrote:Probably the most tense game I've ever had online.

Do you mean to imply that Joseph "Cheating" Bolas cheated in this game? You do? And that's confirmed and he's admitted it and promised to sort his life out? I see what you mean now.Jon Corby wrote:Joseph Bolas wrote:I think this is the closest I have got to a max game

Amazing isn't it - I maxed nearly everything and came 7th. That's the problem with flat scoring...Phil Reynolds wrote:Despite missing several maxes, I still somehow managed to come joint 3rd in Sunday's Duel, beating many luminaries in the process. This is my best ever performance in the Daily Duel to date. Don't bother looking at the game itself as I didn't come up with any notable words or anything - I just wanted to tell someone.
Aye, the Flat Duels almost always swing on who gets the conundrums - miss one and you're a bit fucked. Amazingly I got both on that one so fluked 2ndKirk Bevins wrote:Amazing isn't it - I maxed nearly everything and came 7th. That's the problem with flat scoring...
