“bertthehurt” has set an incredibly high bar for ePrep’s WordSmith Challenge. Great job! If no one beats the new high score within the next week or so, we may have to retire it, . . . so others feel like they have a chance.

bertthehurt,
Did you just get tired or did you really crap out at 97,400?

He probably just got tired. If you’re even remotely good,
you’ll have more rounds in which you earn a life than rounds
in which you lose one. So you keep stockpiling lives until
you quit.

…but then again, I would’ve at least aimed for 100K points. So maybe I’m wrong.
And there aren’t many words…they just repeat over and over again.

I like your reasoning NEC. It’s hard to believe that someone would stop just shy of 100k intentionally. I am going to have ePrep’s web development team add the rest of the words. (The rest are primarily from Levels 2, 3, and 4. They should make the challenge more difficult.)
