Good evening Terry
ReplyDeleteOur best score is 237 points; that's funny but not easy.
See you tomorrow afternoon.
That is a good score, Christine!
DeleteDo you think you can score higher than 237 points?
I agree! I think the game is fun, but it is not easy!
Terry
Hello Terry,
ReplyDeleteafter near 20 tries, my best score is 113.
I will play another day because it is funny.
See you on thursday.
Philippe
It is a fun and difficult game, Philippe!
DeleteThe first time I played it I scored 150.
I am happy you think the game is fun. I enjoy playing it too!
Have a nice day and see you soon.
Terry
Someone told me the other day that she scored 299 points!
ReplyDeleteCan anyone get a higher score than that?
Have fun!
Terry
I've scored 967 but I wonder what the highest possible score is?
ReplyDelete967! That is great! I do not know what the highest possible score is. Keep going and let us know!
Deletemy highest score for scrabble sprint is 3488 just got that today,prior to that it was 3234 but it took me a while to get that score.Usually l get 29 hundred or less , ld say most 2100 to 2900 mostly now.and l can play for around 2 hours a day or less,l get all my work done and then my treat to myself is playing scrabble sprint.l just love this game.Try to practise more if you can cause when l first started playing my highest score was around 200 to 250.I knew that the trick to scoring higher was to type faster , so that's what l practised mostly. keep at it and you will start getting higher scores too.Good luck with it!! Stacy in Oshawa.
DeleteThat is amazing, Stacy!
DeleteI am seriously impressed especially as you have explained your secret which is to type faster.
DeleteThis is doubly impressive as typing isn't something you have to do in Scrabble Sprint.
Oh my gosh, Stacey in Oshawa, please tell me you're a genius! I have been playing this game (roughly once or twice a day-I don't get to play it everyday, but there are times I've played multiple games in a row), English is my *first* language and I was quite pleased when I got 745! I don't usually break out of the 600s. Best to all of you.
ReplyDeleteGreat score, Stacey!
DeleteHave scored exactly 900 once (and printed out end screen to prove it). The 967 sounds great and I can believe it, but I'd like to see proof of the over 2000's before believing them.
ReplyDelete900 is a good score! Keep it up!
Deletei scored 888 today.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Vernon! I am impressed!
Deletefun!!! :):):):)
ReplyDeletewhy does the letter A keep popping up at the beginning of a word, and then it won't let me add a word to it?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I do not know. Have you tried using another computer?
Deletei suck this sucks this is poo

ReplyDeleteThank you very much for telling me, Mark!
DeleteI have added your link to the page.
Best wishes to you!
Terry
I got 350 on the first day, hope to get more.
ReplyDeleteIf you're scoring over 500 at this game, you are doing well. Even the best players will have games where the letters combinations are not kind and scores may drop to 300 or less.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the top score? Well it works like this>>>>
Working it all out with the official scrabble top scoring word lists (try www.scrabblewizard.com/top-7-letter-word-scores/ and www.scrabblestop.com/high-scoring-scrabble-words.html), taking all of the triple and double word and letter squares into account by making sure they have the highest scoring letters on them, and playing two shorter words at an optimum point to ensure a seven letter word across the final triple word square, you could play the game like this...
If you were lucky enough to get the perfect letters you would play BEZIQUE for your first go and score 124. Another big dose of luck and you would get the right letters to play JUKEBOX for 170. Your third selection would have to be lucky enough to give you the letters for BEZIQUE again (or CAZIQUE if you don't fancy your chances of being so lucky)which will score you 97 this time. Then you'll need the game to churn out the letters for SQUIFFY for 140 followed by BEZIQUE (again)for a meagre 87 this time. The next turn (surprise, surprise) has to be BEZIQUE again for a healthy 126 and now you have to slip in the two four letter words, to ensure you don't waste that all important double-double word that's coming soon or the final triple word square. If your luck is holding out though, you'll receive the tiles to write QUIZ across a double word (score 44) and then the same word, QUIZ, across the lowest scoring part of the game for a consolation score of 22. But now you're set up for the final run home... 14 squares to go! The game's on your side and you play QUICKLY across the double-double to score your best ever 230 and then (thanks to a completely random spewing out of the perfect letters) you enter your last seven tiles, MEZQUIT to finish with a respectable 161. Total points scored from your letters = 1201
There is no better score possible using words in the English language, although there are a few other words to those listed above which would score the same.
What about the time bonus? Well you score a point for every second unused at the end and the time you have is increased by one second for every point you score on your words. So the maximum bonus available is also 1201. Let's just say you could type (or mouse-click) as fast as Stacey in Oshawa, and you did not use any time at all to play your words - then you'd also be left with the 60 seconds you got at the start of the game. This would give you a finishing total score of 1201 + 1201 + 60 which equals 2462.
That's a target to aspire to! My best ever is 831.
NOBODY ever regularly scores 1000, let alone 2000+ so don't be too much in awe of their claims.
Happy sprinting :) Dan, North Yorkshire
:) On the other hand, I've seen some posts on another POGO gams forum which suggest that there is/was another version of scrabble sprint, differing in the rules from the version I play in the UK now. It's feasible that the other version had all sorts of possibilities and high score potential.
ReplyDeleteBUT... If you are playing the same version as I am, in the UK, then my notes above apply. You will never score more than 2000... (Oh, you might, but you have more chance of winning the lottery. Twice.) Dan, North Yorkshire
I just scored 858!! I'm so excited :)
ReplyDeleteI've been playing this game for a couple of years and keep a record of the bingos and words that scored 20 or more for my high scores. At first this was anything over 500, but now it's anything over 900. Two days ago, I shattered my previous record of 1096 by scoring 1145. This included QUIRTED played with the Q on the triple letter and the D on the second double word score, 8 squares from the end, for 198.
ReplyDeleteHere are the top scores from my 1195-point game:
1145
606 + 539 bonus points
QUIRTED 198 (3Q 2X2)
WISHING 72
DENIALS 66
FLOATED 60
WIZ 75 (triple word, double Z)
JAPE 63 (last play, so double J and triple word)
Note: you can draw only one Z, one Q, one J, and one K in a game. A blank can be used as any of these letters, of course, but a blank counts for zero points, no matter which letter it represents.

Nice playing, Mark! I am not as good as you!
DeleteI love this game too , I work from home and provides a nice mental break . I scored 820 today which is my best ever score and consisted of 4 x 7 letter words. The key to good scoring is to be quick and take advantage of the double and triple letter scores when combined with additional word score multipliers.
ReplyDeleteNice score and good advice, Glennie! Thank you!
DeleteI would like to see a breakdown of Oshawa Stacey's high scores...they don't seem remotely possible in the version of Scrabble Sprint I know.
ReplyDeleteI just blew my previous record out of the water with a score of 1215. I would post a screen shot if I knew how to do that, but...here are the highlights...
1215
(639 + time bonus of 576)
*****5 BINGOS*****
JOINERS 170 (triple-letter J stretching to the double double word score)
HOAXERS 102

(That's 5 bingos; my record is 6)

Very nice, Don!
ReplyDeleteI've been playing for years and contrary to what my fellow Yorkshireman has to say-I regularly score 5000+ and my record is 7619.It's all about trying to get 7 letter words on the double/triple word scores with NO mistakes! (It kills the time!) Cheers!
ReplyDeleteFully agree and nice strategy!
DeleteGreat fun with words!
