I've seen the £1 down at the 330 mark.

Sadly, thanks to one of the most badly positioned screens I've ever witnessed, it wasn't even possible to achieve that.

The bad screen is probably the reason why the £1 was so low!

The Constitution in Camden had an even kinder structure when I was there last week but had such an unreliable screen that even 500 was a good score - nearly every selection of a letter seemed to register twice, so your first touch was instantly cancelled by the second touch. This was on an old-style Gamesnet.

Came across a 'Word Soup' in Fareham. Identical to standard WU (with the WUGM dictionary as far as I could tell) but with a slightly revamped appearance. Only explanation I could think of was it was a quiet week in the Big Fizz offices. Or is it a tie-in with National Soup Week ?

Achieved a 1996 on Word Soup the other day. My highest yet.

My time will come.

Yeah I only played this for the first time last night- not great but still better than the other games. I'm sure this must have been remarked on already, but half the people who post on this forum are on the Hi Score list automatically- saw the Cardinal, Bob and loads of other names which amused me. This forum is nationwide man! :D

Sounds bizarre - I still ain't seen it - is the gameplay different to Word Up at all?

Which machines is it on?

Managed a 2094 on old version Word Up at the Old Bell in Fleet St yesterday. MISQUOTED was (pathetically) the longest word, but PUZZLED and PUZZLES certainly helped.

Yep, I don't remember it being there before, so I assume it's a new development. The other newish games remain – am having decent success on Pairz too.
