Time for another game of Beat My Score, also known as No Time to Write.
Today your mission is to best my mark in Yahoo! Games' Text Twist, a word puzzle in which you are given six letters and are asked to form as many words as possible. Compose a six-letter word and you're on to the next round.
Now for a story. The reason you can beat my score like Ike Turner beat his wife is because I'm a dunce with words. To some people this is a shock. To others it's patently obvious. I've never completed a crossword puzzle of any kind, and I'm embarrassed to even begin one in a newspaper I plan to leave at a bar.
In my high school PSAT's I got an Ivy League-type 720 on the math part and an APEX Tech-like 420 on the verbal part. So what did I do? I ended up working for the media in which I was, in part, paid for my writing. You try to figure this shit out.
The score to beat is: 10,340.
Got 13,825, but it was a team effort because I'm not that bright by myself. My teenage daughter played two of the last three levels while I got dressed for work.
