Facewords on Pathbook

It's a bit hypnotic..... a word game on Facebook which I play 2-3 times a day, total 15 minutes. I play alone, tho I'm continually instructed to "invite my friends", who total 0 since I decided the social network was beneath a real Hermit. I haven't boosted my score of 760 one bit in the past month. At the end of each game, I'm told "Congratulations! You're number one among your friends, with a score of 760!" I'm also given the option to log out, play again, or "trash talk." Hm-m-m-m. So many choices; so little time.

The object is to find words in an ever shifting sea of letters. With each successful word, it shifts again. I don't know what dictionary they use, but they keep refusing "zen", which is a very popular word on TV decorator shows. And I keep finding "roe", although I'm pretty picky about what kind of fish eggs I consume. Sometimes my misspellings turn out to be real words, but my score stays at 760!

I heard somewhere that a REAL Scrabble Player/Champion studies dictionaries. They don't just browse them; they don't just read them; they STUDY them and TAKE NOTES. (They might make good Hermits!)
