7:43 pm

Liz

Hi! I'm new - played my first game yesterday. Wondered if someone could answer a question - in the scoring, I understand 'number of words' and 'points', but what does the figure in the middle (the one with the decimal point) represent? Ta! Liz

7:49 pm

Alti

Average Word Length

7:55 pm

jen

Liz... I believe it is the average length of the words you've used.

7:56 pm

Liz

Thanks Jen! Thanks Alti!

8:36 pm

Alti

No problem :D , Good luck with the game, it's extremely addictive!

8:43 pm

Liz

As I am beginning to realise... and I have this enormous deadline a week from now and _masses_ of work to do for it... and all I want to do is stay up long enough to see tomorrow's puzzle (I'm in London, so it's 3AM here...)

9:36 pm

Alti

It gets a bit like that doesn't it! I'm in the land of Oz (Aus) and it's only noon so I'm able to stay to see the next puzzle! My recommendation is to take a nap, and set an alarm! Dream of words in the mean time! LOL

10:14 pm

Liz

Nah... if I sleep now, I'm out for the next eight hours. And anyway, I only need one more word and I'll have 100... who could resist that?

10:40 pm

ejackg22
