There are alternatives to MS office. Google “best free office suite”. I’ve been using Open Office for over 10 years. It’s compatible with MS office and it’s free.

agcardlady1, no. You are automatically entered if you beat Shannon’s score. You do not need to post your score. I think it’s rare to see a winner who actually posts in the Community.

oldpixie, Thank you so much for tracking down this information. I like the product but those shelves just aren’t going to fit where I’d like to put it. It’s less than 3.5 inches from the middle of the socket to the adjacent wall.

Hi auntcici,
I also think 25000 is a high score for this game, but I’m happy that they have FINALLY chosen a word game for GOTW.

While I enjoy finding a long word, most of the words I make are only 3 or 4 letters. I probably use HIE twice or more per round! The timer is at 2 minutes until level 11 when it starts dropping by 10 seconds each level. I agree that it’s frustrating to run out of time, especially just as you’re about to use a bomb.

I don’t know how the word-scoring works.
After you meet the Goal, there’s a progress bar that fills as you make words, and I think it’s related to scores you make. When the bar fills up, that’s when you get a bomb. The bombs do carry over.

You said something about the letters hanging up. I noticed that there’s one letter in the bottom right area that has to be hit just right, but other than that I haven’t had a problem.
Except when the entire game freezes, which hasn’t happened this week that I’ve noticed.

Good luck!
