From the perspective of someone trying to guess the word, guesses that score 0 are the most useful clues; they narrow the possibilities down far more than any other result. And so long as the word turns out to actually be a reasonably common (and thus guessable) word, and you don't make any mistakes in the scoring, I'm not going to complain about a long round :)

Oh my gosh yes and I am SO sorry! I did that score on my phone screen rather than my computer, and my guess is I just hit "1" instead of "2" because my thumb is too big *facepalm*. I'm so sorry guy; ugh I feel terrible. I went back and corrected it, not that matters much at this point. Alias Ember, thank you SO MUCH for pointing that out to me!

Oh, don't worry about it. After all, both me and Minstrelgirl have mis-scored a word; rather recently, too (and I only have my own scattered brain to blame in my case). Anyway, you're in good company. ;)

Haha good to know I'm not the only one to have done it. Mainly my frustration comes from the fact that I had like triple checked all my scores recently to make sure they were right, and I thought they were, but obviously I was wrong haha :blush:

I've just started a new thread for this game, including picking a new word, as part of this year's Forum Birthday celebrations. So I'm now archiving this thread.
