I got 2740.  Was surprised that "Imminent"  means "threatening ".  To me that says an imminent threat is a threatening threat.  Guess I'll  go Google it.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

3620 second time around.  I can do better.  I was slow on a couple.  I want to do it again and again and again.  I love words.  They're one of the few things I'm good at that is unrelated to animals.  I sure wish that I could spell the dang things ;D ;D

Hummm...Perhaps I cannot do better that 3620.  I still want to try.  I can't try now.  I shall try again tomorrow after work and before beer.

LizStreithorst

I tried again and got 2700 even though I missed one because of too much beer and one because I had no idea.  I checked the leader board and today's highest score was 4200!!!!  That guy must be a fast responder and got words he knew.  I can be fast, but the game depends on the luck of the draw. 
Always move forward. Never look back.

First run 2900. Second 3700.
