Maybe try http://rinkworks.com/ instead of the full version. Maybe it's still detecting the cheat score of the other account.

Or maybe it's broken.

I'm all right with it. Wouldn't have posted the account if I cared.

For the life of me, I can't see how it's possible to score 243 in that game legitimately. But at work I figured out a way to make it a collaborative game. We have VNC installed on our machines. VNC allows multiple computers to display the same desktop view at the same time, with the keyboard and mouse of each computer involved serving as input to said desktop. This is a useful tool in collaborative development environments, because it allows two or three of us to develop a software component together.

So I fired a browser up in VNC the other day, and my co-worker and I played the same game at the same time. Since typos are ignored in the game, we only ever lost a life if *both* of us flubbed the word. Theoretically, you could get a team of like 12 people all playing the same game at the same time. I wouldn't be surprised if that's how scores like 243 were achieved.
