I'm having fun playing Golem's Word Game. I know it's still young but I'm curious... what's the record for 1) most total points per game... 2) most total points per word... and 3) highest amount bid, as long as you still won the game? Anyone care to submit their own best scores?

I've managed 54 points two times in one word:
1, In game #3482 vs Ian Howarth: (Roughi*)*3*2
2, In game #3351 vs Akuti Dodi: (Notion)*3*3

My higest score winning is 205,5 (nr 2 above).

My highest bid for win I'll have to come back with.

1) Most total points per game: I had 319.0 points in game #2608
--------------------------------------------------------- 2) Most total points per word: VIZIR (triple-triple) worth 99 points (game #2784) - But the word BILHARZIA worth 96 points (game #2608) - it was a triple-double - BUT SO SO Close to me getting it to be a triple-triple-double point word worth 288 points - SO CLOSE :-)
---------------------------------------------------------- 3) Highest bid (and still win) - Bid 36.5 (game #2608)
---------------------------------------------------------- and now some stats of my own
---------------------------------------------------------- 4) Biggest winning margin: (game #2784) 318.0 vs 101.5 (216.5 point difference).
---------------------------------------------------------- 5) Closest game: (game #2647) lost by .5 points - UGH!
---------------------------------------------------------- 6) Most points BOTH PLAYERS together: (game #2608) - 319.00 vs. 137.5 - total of 456.5 points between us both.
---------------------------------------------------------- OK, I think those are all the "stats" for the word game that I have. Hopefully with all my "---" in this post, it will make it more readable... (or worse!) :-)

Richard... put them up on the GWG pages under tournament... you have an extra kind of tourney without organizing anything. (of course people could decide to play very open games simply to get in that list)

HEY RICHARD - Can you find the "Records" for the word game pretty easy? If so, any chance of an update? ALSO - As Hjallti suggested, it would be nice if it was posted on the site somewhere - and possible updated every once and awhile. ------------------------------ I know that most of the records were mine, and I have improved a couple of them. My high score is now 339.5 (#2809), and I now have an 11 letter word (outwhirling #4013). I also know that some others have higher single word totals of 100+. So an update would be cool, if it can be done some-what easy! Thanks! BBW

Any game with total score above 500?.... it might be a nice quest... BBW and me got 499,5 (he won of course), it was in the same tournament as the game above (#2814).

I add two new statistic for GWG to game page. [Main menu]-->[Games]-->[Golem's word game]

In my opinion the records should be divided into words found on full board and words found in the 3rd phase of the game. It is easier to find high scores in the ending. In particular if the opponent does nothing to prevent openeing the games.

Twinkle by Acuti Dodi was wonderful. Quick by game-a-holic is also nice, but the opponent gave him that word. In fact he could have scored 144 by taking quicken*d! May there even was bigger words in that position.

I also think you should add total score records. They say more about the game, but I guess BBW will take all of them anyhow:)

I agree that not all moves in TOP table are not the best moves in positions. For example move ZIP(54) was possible move in previous position too. Every move in TOP table is not only sign of excellent move, but it is sign of wrong play of oponent too. I will add several next tables later. For example shortest games: #3348, #3731, #3899, #5123

Whoa! How unfortunate for game-a-holic that he missed an even greater score than the 108 points he received for the word QuICK. While reviewing some of the top scores, I couldn't help but notice he could have selected QuICKEN*D (quickened) for 144 points instead!

I have another record. in game 4977, I managed to copy the word of my opponent twice in a row:
LOAD(4) - LOAD(4) - RIB(12) - RIB(4). I know it is risky but I thought it was funny :-)

#16 · BIG BAD WOLF

Hjallti, well in that case - me any my opponent made the same word 4 times in a rom (game #2889) - U(1) - U(1) - U(1) - U(1) - Well I guess that would depend if you count "U" as a word! :-)

Sorry BBW, I think Hjallti's got you beat. Your repeat is not nearly as impressive as his. :)

Maybe the total points made in repetition should be the judge (or only word length at least 3, or so) ;-)
