You were my favourite senior in college. I thought you were the coolest girl ever who was so nice to everyone around you. I admired everything about you, be it your linguist skills or your absolutely gorgeous smile.
You know, I discovered the game of Word Challenge in Facebook couple of weeks back. When my friend, Priya had a high score of 9153, I personally thought she was a being of much higher dimension with equivalent intergalactic word powers. The reason being – the first time I played the game, I scored a measly 2000 something which left my ego hurting for days. I felt like a Word Retard; someone who couldnt even unscramble six alphabets to make as many words as humanly possible.
I played the game for days, weeks even – I dont remember. I neglected everything around me and concentrated on getting a better score even if that meant the dog sometimes having to eat her dinner at 12:00 midnight. Yes, I didnt give up at all.
Slowly, my scores improved. I started averaging around four to five thousand and once even made it all the way to eight thousand; a day that my spirits soared and I felt vindicated for all the countless wasted hours, not to mention eyeballs about to pop out of their sockets.
And then it finally happened! The day I had been waiting for a long time. Out of the blue, I managed to score 10112! Oh, you cannot imagine the over extended fist pumps that repeated itself long into the night. Little joys of my life.
That is when I made the mistake of inviting you to the game.
I thought we were friends but then you went and scored 28000. Yes, I did get the zeros right and incredibly so did you. A feat that I thought was Unbelievable.
And as if that wasnt enough, you went on to score 38105. You know something else? The little girl host of the game occasionally pops in to give me this message – Do you know your friend Karuna has scored 38105? I didnt know she had the vocabulary of an Amazing Cyborg!!!
Well, neither did I. I accept defeat. If you’re thinking of scoring even higher than this, oh great Cyborg – our friendship is highly in danger please consider teaching me how you manage to score this high.
With love,
Your envious enemy junior

10112, 38105 omg , now I am afraid to try out the game
.
Thank you for adding my score to that omg sentence
I wanted to invite you but then thought what if you did the same thing to me. Again! Hahaha…
Even I don’t want to try this out. I don’t like losing
I learnt one fact about me the hard way and yes, it is that I dont like losing either
Is karuna reading this
congrats if u r …
and ring … shud say … gr8 perseverance – to give u an idea of my vocab and diction, i had to look up the dictionary for the spelling of this word
Congrats from my side too. A word that I overlooked in the post!
Heh. I now want to invite you to join Word Challenge for sure, Sandeep!
see … typo again … and even grammatical errors … god … save me (and please delete the two earlier comments) … i dont like losing and neither do i like to look like a loser who cant tell the difference between loser and looser
(((
I deleted the previous comments
I’m okay with typos. Its the inability to unscramble words that gets my goat all the time.
I’ve stopped inviting people now. Enough is enough!
And thanks for making my paltry score public
Shamefaced and trying to find a place to hibernate,
GWBE
Hahaha… sorry da, this is one of those doing-things-without-thinking moments. I put up the pic just to make the post look pretty!
My score’s also paltry next to number one. Imagine 38105!
whoa! a blog post just for my score…I am touched…nobody bothered about my hiscores ever….
How do I do it?
A lot of things worked to my advantage, as I’m not much of a word girl.
1-A game background -like Text-Twist from Yahoo Games
2-New on facebook-I have very few friends and in the bonus round, they ask me to unscramble one friend’s names, I keep unscrambling Geena, Anna, Simi, Navin, Calvin and David. This is my biggest scoring area 425points per name, if I manage to unlock the bonus round that is)
Then some strategy…
1-increasing the time by guessing 4 letter words and playing longer
2-if i don’t get the word, I guess enough, in order to fill that ABC square and then I change the word by clicking on it.
Works every time.
Thats it!!
Thanks Rinchen…you made my day…me feels proud a little now, finally someone recognised my achievement after having worked at perfecting this skill for 3 years now….hehehe…I love ya
Hi Akusotto..,
You were not able to remeber whatever I taught.
Trying out the game seems a scary thought now.I am with Vidya, Shradha and Sandeep.
Good info, Rinch and Karuna
I have to say two things…
“You are mad”
and
“Poor Winkie!”
Dearest Karuna,
Thanks for the tips, I hope it works with me. Sooo good to hear from you!!! You’re such a sweetheart, thanks for not getting pissed with me instead! Love ya too, old pal
Sree – I forgot everything entirely
Hope to see you in WC.
Deepak – I agree with both things. Hahaha…
