Congratulations to JND65 for being our June Monthly Winner. Here is some info provided by our winner:
Hi, my name is Jeff, I live in the Detroit, Michigan metro area. I have a successful decorative concrete flooring business that I’ve been working at for the last fifteen years. Prior to that, I worked for the federal government in Washington, DC, as an international trade negotiator. I trained for that type of work at the University of Pennsylvania, where I went to graduate school, and received two masters degrees. I’ve always been academically oriented, and my major in international relations required a great deal of reading and writing in college and grad school. That discipline introduced me, at a relatively young age, to a lot of new, and advanced, words, although I always had an aptitude for words, winning several spelling bees in grade school. I never liked – and still don’t – Scrabble, but instantly gravitated toward Words With Friends a couple years ago, when my mom introduced me to it. I’ve been able to improve at it rapidly, with the help of some of the best players – and most fun opponents – on this site, including Danny Gluva, CCThommo, Oath Keeper, PittsburghKid, toothtamer, and BigLarge (among many others that I don’t have the time or space to name). That improvement meant losing a lot, but the losing involved some great lessons in strategy, and helped me not make the same types of mistakes for very long. The thing I like best about WWF is that it is skill-based: with carefully thought out moves, you can almost always overcome poor letter distribution, and gasp(!), app-assisted play. This is the first time I’ve won the Monthly; previously, I don’t think I ever got past the fourth round. I try my best to be a good opponent to everybody, chatting when and wherever possible, although I have to admit I often do forget to check chat. With that in mind, I sometimes also feel bad when getting out to a large lead, but at the same time realize how quickly a large lead can evaporate. In the championship round, I had some tough matches with NahumC. The screenshots are attached. All of the games went back and forth, pretty much until the end. I always look forward to competition with new opponents, and hope to meet many more of you this month.
Congratulations to spoyler2014 for winning our May Daily Challenges with a win ratio of 86.2% over 29 games. Also, congrats to our 20 game winner, JonathanMKaye with a 60% win ratio.

In order to narrow our field down to 8 players, we will need to have an Interim Round before we start the Monthly Round 5. Match-ups are determined first by the number of games played in Round 4 and the MOV (Margin of Victory) of the games. In this case there are five players who won in 3 games in Round 4. All of them will play in the Interim Round. The one player who won in 2 games with the lowest MOV is Scrabblemond, who will also play in the Interim Round. The remaining players who won in 2 games will receive a bye: AlbertQuirky, Big K 68, caminghamboy, spoyler2014 and MM_2210. Here are the Interim match-ups:
Scrabblemond vs Low-Impact
sbaron831 vs timbalmo
NEURAL STASIS vs Jbeckham
This is the best 2 of 3 games. You will have 3 days to complete your games. Deadline: Saturday, May 17, 5:00 am Pacific Time. Good luck to all of you.
Please post your results as a comment to this posting.
