That will most probably be the most scoring game by all players combined until the record gets broken again. If this record doesnt get broken, then this is a game for history
I love the way this construction appears on the board. First of all it looks so beautifully symmetrical, but second of all kinda looks like a little building with a flag on top.
I'm pretty sure you missed a 1332-1332 email from lovemathboy some time ago, luckily it doesn't matter as Santa crushed that score too! We originally discarded this 3x3x3 method as we couldn't make it work in the original NWL challenge, but didn't revisit it in CSW until someone else pointed it out. I find it really intriguing how there's two different 'metas' for NWL and CSW in this challenge as a result, though I guess NWL might also have some solution involving 15s to take it beyond the standing record
Curious about the 1332-1332 setup! Aside from various other versions of the DEHYDROGENIZING/LEXICOGRAPHISTS layout, my next best ties were all in the 1320-1325 range. Also curious where the NWL record stands now :) Highest I got was 1279 with one 3x3x3 and two high-scoring eight-letter triple-triples; which I'm not at all happy with.
@@polygon586 Well you have the NWL record then :) Our 1332 is WEATHERPROOFING over LEXICOGRAPHISTS, keeps DEHYDROGENIZING+JACQUARD. The X gets plopped on one of the bridging words (EXCEEDER) on a TL and then paralleled for x4, it's not super ideal but WEATHERPROOFING kind of rules (it gets the F doubled before the x27)
@@AmaranthRBY Very cool! Will have to check in a couple days if I can reproduce that. WEATHERPROOFING is definitely a nice word, ZING/FING at the right is really awkward though since there's no Z??????F (or F??????Z) words and no I??????I/N??????N eight-way overlaps except the low-scoring and good-tile-eating IGNORAMI/NOUMENON. Guessing it avoids that by having 5 words on the left? 1279 is the NWL-only OVEREXUBERANTLY with JACQUARD and WHIZBANG.
I'm curious as someone who knows nothing about this - how much of the work in these constructions is done by computer search and how much is done by human brains?
@@alexpotts6520 Speaking for myself - I have programs that, if I give a set of costraints, can spit out all legal arrangements for those constraints. Usually I comb over those output lists manually to look for the highest scoring ones. So there's manual input in coming up with a good set of constraints, and there's manual input in filtering through the outputs for the best solutions, but a lot is computer-assisted
Wow, amazing! I'm really curious about the potential of a version of this challenge that *doesn't* require every play to be a bingo, and what could be done then.
If not then you can make tons of little two tile plays and set up things like OXYPHENBUTAZONE. There's nothing fundamentally wrong with that, it just tends to be more aestehtically pleasing (and make it a bit more complicated) to require every play to be a bingo

Everytime I see one of these I'm like "surely the score can't get higher" then it does 😅 wouldn't be surprised if this is beaten eventually
Im sure the combined score can be higher without the bingo+tie constraint.

Figured what was coming after all the plays from dehydrogenizing, but lexicographists is an insane play to find even in constructing
Having the UPLYING setup on the first move and the payoff on the last move was a master stroke 👌
Santa “Josh Sokol” Claus with that opening bingo
Wow, amazing! I'm really curious about the potential of a version of this challenge that *doesn't* require every play to be a bingo, and what could be done then.
It would involve setting up two oxyphenbutazone kind of plays.
Yeah, as pointed out below, you'd probably have two 27-timers and end up with a score close to 2000 apiece is my guess, but would be cool to try out!
The fact that this doesn't even use all the triple word squares makes this even more impressive.
beautiful
i love that such a high scoring game begins with one player making several seemingly non optimal plays in a row. one of the many quirks of the game!
when i saw EX C G disconnected i knew it was about to be "Lexicographi-", turns out I was right :) proudly spotted that early on
Nice!!
This is so insane, such an aesthetically pleasing board too
Absolutely brilliant!!! I loved the video. Amazing creativity. Keep these coming!🎉
I saw LEXICOGRAPHISTS!
Nice!
How about a variation of this challenge, but using an infinite tile bag - or just a modified bag with exactly as many tiles at the author wants.
absolutely mindblowing.
I was wondering when someone would make a 3x3x3 :)
‘Constructed by amouranth’
Hmm…
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST!!
This is very impressive
I know right??
imagine making all those awesome plays and ending up with a tie.😂
Yay! Christmas in August!
Why require every play to be a bingo

3:57 They cheated on me so I do ‘em knee-to-ab to ex. 🦌
Wow!!!
HI MACK❤
Hi!
