Things really fell into place. I got to save the word I wanted to use last for last while still getting the spicy letter on every earlier word, including getting the “right” spicy letter each time I had a multiple letter. e.g., MAMMA had a spicy M,
Great job. I didn’t expect to be close, since I hadn’t spotted the Pangram quickly, and that is worth so much of the score. Then fortunately it came to me just as I was about to put in my first word.. Probably should have come to me earlier, since I did have THROW included in the list of words I was planning to use. With it, I expected to beat you, and am somewhat surprised I didn’t, since I was going to pick up 2 points vs your score, 1 day longer streak, and scores doubled for perfect game. I didn’t get the 5 points for beating average and 10 points for top 30%, both of which I thought I would get. But even if you got them and I had, that’s 30 points after doubling for me, and your score is still 2 higher.
Perhaps I could have done better entering words in a different order. Can’t necessarily maximize when you don’t know what the future schedule of Spicy letters will be. My order worked out very well for me since my last word was CHOCK, worth 96 when the C was spicy
Once again, stunned by the word list, but in this case it worked to my advantage. How can COCK not be allowed? Reported. But with unlimited O’s, I could use COO and COOK instead, and that helped, slightly.
