Timewaster Of The Week-May 21
This one at least has some educational value:

Basically, it's Word Jumble on steroids, but you have to make up the word, too.
It's a piece of cake to do, but it's not so easy to climb the rankings. Your ranking depends on how 200 or so others have done on that particular set of letters. The champs apparently shoot for really long words that eat up a lot of letters and score a lot of points.
I generally go for the quick-scoring low-hanging fruit while simultaneously trying to come up with longer, higher-scoring words.
The best I've been able to do so far is get to the bottom of Apprentice.
