Up to a few months back, I used to average close to 35 points a week. This week I’ve only scored 29 points. And it seems to be getting harder all the time. I see that a time of 5:34 was not good enough for top 25 yesterday.

Re: BACK IN THE TOP 10
It certainly is getting harder, to get into the top 25.

Re: BACK IN THE TOP 10
I have (along with many others I am sure) attained 28 points a week for as long as I can remember.......getting to a sub 6:00 for the 8x8 timed would be an utter fluke IF it happened

Re: 8x8 timed puzzle
On today's 8x8 I managed a 6:50 which on any given day would probably be good for 2 points but my timed 8x8 will not come anywhere near that......AAAGGGHHH

What’s seldom is wonderful!

Re: 8x8 timed, top 10 / top 25
Got a 1:35 today, but our internet (once again) stopped working during the few seconds the site was trying to hand in my puzzle. Now 0 points, instead of 4 or 5
