Gaming New Daily Doddle

Anyone tried battle mode yet? I'm playing against several people a day now, great fun :D
I've spammed loads in the online list but yet to have a match (much like when I was online dating).

I assume both players get the same letters?
 
Seems to be getting harder to get near the top, I had my best week ever, average of 94 I think it was, barely broke top 20. Think I’ve been ranked #1 with average around 83 previously.
 
Finally back in the top 10. Been a long trek as I was about 200th the other week after a terrible run. Doubt I'll ever take back top spot, but happy with single figures placing again.
 
To my eternal shame, I got beat by the Battle Bot (Easy) the other day as well. I tried to make loads of 5 letter words and the letters came out really badly. I scored 23 and the battle bot won with 25 :lol:

IS there a medium or a hard battle bot?
 
Today's high score is going to make some waves...

No wonder you knocked me off the top spot. Although to be fair, I didn't expect to see #1 ever again so was still happy to get there.
 
Just got my highest score of 121…might have a chance of todays top score post.
 
This game!

Was scoring well each day one top 3 score and hitting 80+ most days. Managed to get#27 on the leaderboard yesterday. Had an absolute nightmare today though and scored 31. It’s the hope that kills you
 
Been having a tuning the last couple of weeks. Score pretty well when I battle but my daily game has been hopeless. Still enjoy playing every day in work.
 
Been fecking my score by sacrificing strategy in an attempt to get the bonus word for ages now. Finally got the bonus today. I thought I'd get +40 in addition to the bonus for the five letter word, but not the case. It's +8 per letter rather than +3. A bit gutting. Didn't beat my all time high score even with the bonus either. I think I'll stick to strategy from now on.
 
Gems not working for me today. Set my grid up for my vowels and then put an M in the vowel slot and couldn't change it. Grid fecked and ended up with 23, gonna destroy my leaderboard place :( same happened to rest of my family
 
Yeah agreed, I've only got one through successfully.

Does the little red dot beside someone in the leaderboard mean online, as opposed to grey I think?

Exactly that. Red means you can challenge them. I've been challenged why in the middle of a challenge so we have a few things to iron out, but its a top feature as it means you can play more games. The Hard Bot is quite a tough challenge and good for practice, I'm 48-37 in that mode
 
Did the app thing where you add the bookmark to the homepage, but it doesn't carry across your stats when you do that. So in effect it's a brand new account.

I've sped up the score counter, so when you get challenged (or challenge someone else) to a battle your screen loads a lot quicker meaning you have more chance of actually having the battle. Hard Battle Bot is pretty good to practice against now too. I'm 51-41 against it so far
 
What kind of average do you need for top 10 these days? I’m struggling to stay top 50.
 
Still think in the battle mode you should get a point for every ten seconds you have left of your allotted time, or at least make this an option to play.

This would open up an option to play fast and free with your letters in the hope you get enough time points to assist against a slower and steadier player.
 
I had average of 93 for my brief stint back in the top 10
Hmmm, I know it’s been mentioned in the thread somewhere that theres more it than just your average but my average is 95 currently and I’m around 40th.

Didn't know there was more to it. 10 day average was mentioned at one point i think ? I have 96 average and I'm at 21.

Thought I saw something saying that the more uncommon letters you use that factors in somehow, but can’t find it now.

Might have made it up.

I've peaked. That is all.

Clearly not! Up to 3rd today I notice. Kudos to you!!

Everyone still enjoying the game? Any improvement suggestions?

I have been asked to make it so the last tile can be changed (as opposed to just going to straight to calculating your score) but I like the risk element so no plans to do that atm :devil:

I still play daily and really enjoy doing it. I have a run of great scores and then a run of absolute shite but mostly inbetween. Vary from top 20 to 150's depending on scores. I think my days as #1 are long gone. some of the scores people put up on the regular are mind blowing.

I never look for the bonus word either, I've just realised.

That last tile not being able to be changed is the bane of my life by the way. cnut.
 
How many people play daily now @MancFanFromManc and what's the highest score ever? Also, do you find that there are languages that have more chance of higher scoring words like there's some Serbian soup called QXZK or something mad?
