You know, I was roommates with a linguist from Japan for about a year, when he was doing some studies at the University of Florida. It was the most educational roommate situation I’ve ever experienced.

That may be why it crashed on me. Firefox for Android has had a bug since last month (still works for the BBS, & I suspect it’s because I’m already/always logged in here)

Or, they have a computer submit the answers faster than a human can. Decades ago I was sad at first to see how low my (I had thought good) score on Alchemy was, on the leaderboard. But then I noticed that one of the people beating me was named (yes!) big_fat_cheater.

The maximum time bonus is accrued if you answer in under one second. I think that’s doable. I don’t have the reflexes. (and unfortunately I usually miss one,) Scrabble players who are also good at esports?
