NN and Marilyn have me hooked on this, the evil gals! After they talked about it, I had to go find it for myself. I don't have the stamina to sit for hours playing it, which is probably just as well I play it via Yahoo Games, and you can do it online or download it - games.yahoo.com/games/downloads/bw.htmlSo far I have completed just two games, and my best ranking and score is: Wordhoarder - 428,120I'm interested to know the other rankings available, and how well everyone is doing, so please post and gloat here ;D

Ooh, Lexicographer! That gives me something to aim at! Trouble is, my fingers go numb if I play too long; I have to leave it on screen and have a rest

When J plays , he just clicks on random letters ..some of the words he makes you'd never think were proper ones ;D I like it when Lex comes up

And it doesn't recognise some perfectly perfect words in common English usage. Adds to the challenge I suppose.

It recognises American spellings though. HOW COME Y'ALL AREN'T PUTTING YOUR SCORES AND RANKS ON HERE? Are you trying to spare my feelings?

NN and I have NN = Lexicographer - 688,320 PK = Wordhoarder - 428,120 Ditto = Senior librarian - 135,300I've only seen 5 games through to the burning end so far as I usually have to abandon them part way through due to lack of stamina and numbness. But if I start as soon as I log on and keep a game open until bedtime, I get there. I'm distraught, as the basic game doesn't allow words of 8 letters or more, and I just had a cracking 9 letter word

It keeps freezing halfway though level 6 and the downloaded version won't play ( I told my security thingy to let it through but it won't load) The highest I've got before it freezes is a paltry 79.000 I may mutter darkly

Well, if you have the DeLuxe you have an advantage over us poor folks, because you are allowed to make longer words! No fair!

It moves at a good speed for dial-up me Ditto. Playing for a while, then sofa slumping, then playing, then slumping is the way to go, for sure ;D
