Webster's Sprint: Speed Scrabble That May or May Not Disrupt Your Life

I was hooked for a year or two:

You just make words as fast as you can. When I started, I set the bar at a 700 game for me to stop; that moved to 800, then 900, then I got close to 1,000 a couple of times. (You get points for the words and points for how fast you get through your tiles.) A couple of months ago, I finally hit 1,000 and haven't played since. That's really hard to do--I'm sharing this so someone else can disappear down the rabbit hole like I did.
