Additions To The Bog Standard Keyword Guide 11/9/10 4:33 PM

OK, a few of you have read my first attempt at writing a guide to this spiffing game. First of all I must apologise to you less than fluent English speakers out there, because I did write it specifically for us Brits...... I myself am fluent in three languages - bad, foul and profane. Four if you include Gobbledegook.

That's not actually true unless you are inclined to believe some of the Potato Heads on this site who love to have a pop at me.

I omitted a couple of key tactics, which may be obvious to some but not to everyone, so thanks to Barb for reminding me..... I'll add a couple more now. Remember that these two tips are only applicable to challenges, not to one-off games.

Timing.

Try not to spend over a minute over each round. This will give you more time to think about the bonus round should you reach it, where it is possible to hit really good scores. If you have kept a record of your words in previous games then you can tap out your best words pretty quickly in the next game.

Word Details

The one thing I always do is write ALL my words down after each game - so I can make adjustments to maximise my score (if possible). And it IS important to know all of the words used in each round, 3 and 4 letter ones as well as the bigger efforts.Often you can combine some of the letters in smaller words to make longer ones which give you more gold tiles in later rounds. Works for me.

It is my ambition to get the word "axolotls" in the bonus round with the help of six gold tiles. My best word so far has been "adolescents"

More tips are welcome. I do hope this helps.

Thank you for reading.

    Another great write Bal!! i've never done an 11 letter word b4. My best word so far has been "dandelion" (9 letters) and a simple ordinary word "reached" with a couple of gold tiles in it gave me (30,000 pts) for that one word! ..so wat made yu think of "axolotls" may i ask??? ♥♥


    Dunno !!!!! ;o)
