Thanks, guys. I never even noticed the quiz ranking right underneath the QOD ranking in the Command Center. But it was just a couple days ago that I noticed I could find the results of all my quizzes. I was wondering if that was a premium feature and might have ponied up the bucks.mrkelley23 wrote:If you haven't already discovered it, the first link on your Sploofus Space, called Your Sploofus Command Center, is very useful for statistics, rankings, etc.
And if you haven't issued any Showdown Challenges, you're missing out on a good way to leapfrog up the Leaderboard for overall points. I'm currently #396 in overall points, but I was #375 earlier this week. I just took too long to remember that Caledonia was the Ancient Roman Empire name for Scotland, on a Showdown Challenge of my own.
Okay, I was about to ask how googling a one word clue would do it, but then I added Carnac and now I see. Well, I said I'd apologize if somebody showed me how they could do it and you did.Tinrinrin wrote:You google the clue.
I've been playing the WPs for a year or so and have often been in top 20 for the month (not bragging, just saying I know WPs).
Some people hate the googlers, some people don't care, some only like the puzzles that aren't googleabe and some only like the ones that are.
Sounds like the NTN bars that use laptops during Showdown. For some reason they are called "borg" bars. Maybe kt knows the answer.Tinrinrin wrote:Googling isn't cheating in word puzzles. If a puzzle is easy to google you will often find scores of 5. A score of 5 has no letters as each guess counts as a move.
Sharing answers to TQOTD is considered cheating.
There are some that do. We came in second place in last summer's competition to one in Dallas that did. ("We" at the time were in Westbury.) I can't see how a laptop is going to help a whole lot as the points go down on most questions so quickly that you'd not wind up with a good score.ulysses5019 wrote:Sounds like the NTN bars that use laptops during Showdown.

I think it helps during the pyramid round where there is no time penalty. And the warm-up round.Bob Juch wrote:There are some that do.

The best way to cheat is to have a cell phone link to someone in another location who is getting the questions (and maybe even the answers) before they come up at your site.
I finally got one of those wager tokens today.TheConfessor wrote:Since everyone is bragging, I guess I should join in. Here are my current stats:
