Hey Verbotomists, We have added a weekly stats feature, which shows top ten scoring words, and the player rankings by week. See: Weekly Stats.

Who has the best word of the day? Any opinions?

Jabberwocky - 2006-12-08: 16:25:00
are you requiring some constant reassurance wordmeister - perhaps some flatterybattery or phladulation and why isn't verbotomy asking??

wordmeister - 2006-12-08: 17:32:00
Yes Jabberwocky that's it -- self-phladulation.

wordmeister - 2006-12-08: 17:36:00
And I see that my score has gone up since I asked, so apparently it's working.
