Addicted to such a simple game

I typically get blocks of between 25 and 35 each time I play.

What really ticks me off is when I have a block of over 20 next to a block of the same letter in the high teens and can't join them.

I broke it.

I got a block of 51 red A's and it stopped keeping score. In fact, it started displaying a negative number.

Based on the scale posted by Alex, I should have had over 40 billion.

Bravo!

And welcome to the billionaires club, although I only got a measely 2 billion.

Yeah, at 2 billion it breaks the score as well. Though it shows the correct number it is negative and then any further points are added to this negative number.

Now my freakin' wrist hurts.
