Heaneyland!

OK, a strategy question: is it better to try to get all the three-letter words (when there are clearly a lot of them) or is it better to slow down and try to find five eight-letter words?

Thanks,

I think it's better to go for the long words. On the boards where there aren't many vowels, the lists of short words found by the top scorers are full, but on the boards that are more wide open, the high scorers often have no words that are four letters or less. But of course it's even better if you can be entering short words while you're looking for long ones.

Can you enter words via the keyboard? I couldn't figure out how--I had to click the letters with my mouse, which slowed me down considerably.

As far as I know, it's all clicking. Yes, it does slow one down. Especially when one makes a typo.

Best I've gotten is Supermaster.

I just managed Living Dictionary. The only vowel was an A.

I just got one where the letters were ADEILMNST. I could have been there all day. (I had to restrain myself from STATELINESS, e.g., because of the 10-letter limit.) I would have been in the top 5 on that one had I not typoed on two words, grrr.

Why did you do this to me? Do you know how much time I'm going to spend on this game? I will not be able to rest until I, too, am a Super Dictionary. Long have I dreamt of being not only a reference book, but a super reference book.

Curse you, Francis, and your nerd friends, driving my percentages down. I sucked at this before, but it's getting worse...

Thanks a lot,

You had me worried for a moment, but there's no WAY I can play this game with a trackpad. I can't keep up with the words I can see, and keep missing letters and getting non-words.

The requirement that you actually click on the letters (rather than simply type words you identify) adds a (to me) unpleasant hand-eye element to the game. I prefer weboggle. (http://weboggle.shackworks.com/game.html)

Rick, you DEVIL.

Instant addiction - achieved a Grandmaster on one board and noticed that Francis has the highest score on one of the boards I did poorly on. Very well played sir.
