After much more playing (and familiarizing myself w/ the keyboard)...
I got just over 11,000 (since then my phone has of course had a wipe so I don't recall the exact score)... If I am not getting interrupted, I can usually get to level 15 or so...
My alltime favorite word I find quite often is "quartering".
My biggest hangup in the game is my own little OCD quirks so often I'll get stuck trying to find a "huge" word instead of just taking the 5-6 letter ones I see. Of course in the higher levels you have to get big words and/or special stuff...
It's frustrating how many words it doesn't recognize... but I've been impressed with some of the ones it does recognized (qua - for example)... it also sucks when I accidentally submit while going for a bigger word...
Oh, curious how people are doing on the "bonus" level?
My best is 31 for about 300 points...
