Is there anywhere that the levels are shown and what comes next.
I have only made it to level 19. I want to know what comes after the tomatoes, green pepers and pumpkins.
Thanks.

My score is 33,320 at level 66 (seems to be #41 on the leaderboard).

And my favorite go-to word, which seems to happen maybe once every 10-12 levels or so is QUARTERBACKING (203 points).

I think the game is a completely different game on the Storm vs. every other BB (with a trackball). I am up to 9947 on my Tour but I am sure I could get at least 20,000+ on a Storm. I spend at least half my time scrolling for letters when I already know my word.

I think the trick is definitely to have a back pocket of a few excellent long words that are (1) lots of points and (2) flexible, with lots of roots/combinations.

Thunder-struck/bolt was a fantastic suggestion. Can also make Thundering, Thundershowers, etc. The key is you start with Thunder... without thinking and go from there. Journ**** also good, and under**** (standing, stood, stands, lying, etc.). I have not tried the progress*** one but sounds decent.

The problem with this approach is that it does make the game a bit boring, because you are always looking for the same handful of words.

My high score is 14296, but less than 40 levels.

I have only gotten 20 veggies on the bonus round, high total is 323.

My favorite word: STRAIGHTENING for 143 points
THOUGHTFULLY works nice, too.

Another thing I've noticed is this is not "Scrabble rules" for making words. They pull from the BB dictionary guess and all kinds of crazy things work -- days of the week, planets, companies, celebrities, tv shows, movies, internet abbreviations, etc.

From what I see on other msgs there are some great players posting here. I just got done with my high score (9319):

Bonus best: 36 for 517
pt/min 150.2
wd/min 4.4
best wd 130
avg wd 33.4
max lgth 12
avg lgth 6.0

You may find this hard to believe, but my 13 year old daughter beat my high score by 7,000 points. Her high score is 12,638. I only got 5,493. Plus, she had me trying to beat her ORIGINAL high score for 6 MONTHS! I was so proud when I finally did, but then on her first try she got over 8,000 points. She sure did put ME to shame! Then, when I got the software update, the high score got deleted, so I made my high score. She then beat that one.

Basically, after the software update, my 13 year old daughter holds te high score of 12,638. I am proud of her, but ashamed the my own daughter who is many years younger than me can beat me in word games. It's not surprising though, she has been beating my sister (her aunt) at word racer since she was 6.

That says a lot to me re: difference of game on storm and trackball devices. A bonus score of 517 is not possible on any of the early levels. No chance. My high bonus is 337 and that was after I had already reached 15k points. If your score is 10k or less on trackball game, the max bonus a human could reasonably achieve is maybe 300 points.

i couldnt pass level 2

[DomingoC]

My max score is 17429, I find myself getting past the first couple of levels using the word "DANGEROUSLY" (103 points) or "PLASTERING" (84 points) ; "CATERPILLAR" is hard to come by and the longest word I can remember is "DEREGULATION" (120 points). Bonus round - my max is 41 (696 Points), I use my two thumbs.

[Sperl28]

So far I have been able to get to 39,362...

[Roccco]

My high score is 33,391, Level 61, 538 Words. How do I attach a screenshot?

I have a lot of success starting every round by looking for a couple different words. My favorite word, and it seems to work on just about every other level is BULLDOZER or BULLDOZING. When those two do not come up, I can often shift gears quickly to write BULLFROG (70 points?) or BULLDOG.

When looking for this same word, I often am able to use the BUTTRESSING (102 points?) or BUTTRESSED (84 points?).

Also, BULLETIN(S) bails me out when none of the above works.

Other good words that come up less often include ESTABLISH/ESTABLISHED/ESTABLISHMENT(S).

MISUNDERSTANDINGS is the highest scoring word I have used (262 points?) but I will start out trying to type in UNDERSTANDING(S) and then if I see that there is an M, I and S, then I will cancel out the word and quickly type in MISUNDERSTANDINGS.

The key is really taking advantage of the bonus tiles, whether they are for additional time or for additional points.

Also, hopefully, everyone has learned that you are able to operate much faster, especially in the bonus rounds when the sound is muted.

It is also worth taking a less scoring word that does not open up blank tiles rather than getting just a few extra points but, in turn, opening up a bunch of blank tiles.

My Q words include QUORUM(S), QUOTE(D) or QUOTE(S), QUOTA(S), QUICKLY and QUICKEN.

[Col1234]

3887 was my top score. is there anywhere online I can play this game? Does anyone know?

[jcald3944]

8306 my high score words that seem to work well are:constrained, constraints, construed, construct,(look to add ion,ing or ed) and str words strangle,strange,and I thought q words would be difficult but are usually common: quart and quarter are very common ad ly or occassionally nail quarterbacking for 208 thats my best word also nailed congressionally forget how many points but its good! I hope hints help you score better

[Brainfade]

Do remember that (at least as far as I know) all Q words require a U

Roccco, I like your B words

[ogolble]

my high score is 10445, level 32. to the people with low scores - did you know the letters dont have to be together to use them? my first couple of times playing i thought they did, but when i discovered you could use any, my scores have been getter higher and higher. My favourite words are questionable, questioners, questions etc. especially in the higher rounds when the fruit is usually a Q.
