Yeah, I think game # 911 goes in the record book under monster: no one is going to beat that! It's also the highest score of ANY game number, as far as I know!

Well you get all the gossip first, and the qualification is work-experience based. You need documentated instances of at least 20 people being surprised when you're nice to them. It's these amatuer bitches who just give it out for free 24/7 that ruin it for the rest of us....

I'm trying to test a theory, but I may as well ask the question here, too: Because one cannot predict what letters will drop in a random game, is it better to fill as many lines as possible to kick up the Multiplier, or go for word length, to get the maximum score? I'm working away to evaluate the scores but I may as well mine everyone's experiences. What do your games tell you?

I'm in the same boat as you, sweet.
I noticed this while trying to get some hints: Quote:

seems like the multiplier tops at 2.3 (or 2.5...lol)
longer words have more points to be multiplied

go for the word length of at least 5 and then the clean slate.

the multiplier goes up by .1 each time until you get to 2.1, then it goes up every other word. It will only get past 2.5 if you are making lots of short words because there are a limited number of tiles.

I tried getting there faster by starting with a lot of 2-letter words. I don't know that's a winning strategy though, cos I'm not good enough at the game.
