The new Word Whomp auto is wonderful....but I'm a nervous wreck using it because my name shows up on the bottom of the screen every time I win a game !!! How is everyone else using this auto??

i was thinking the same thing i just bought the auto haven't use -ed it yet but im fin to O0
I quit worring about my name showing up. For some reason I never get really high scores in there. Mine seem to be around 150 or so. I have seen others with 400+. I don't know how they are getting ones that high.
So I figure if mine isn't that high, why should anyone pay any attention to me?
Maybe I should play on easy instead of the hardest level....I get high scores every time and that's when my name shows up. I see others who regularly show up at the bottom of the screen and I figure they're using autos as well. But with my luck I'd be the one getting caught.
I kept trying to go into a room alone this evening but someone always showed up.

I worried about it until the first badge, a little less after the second badge, now not at all. The only thing I do now is make sure I've taken care of my weekly challenges, then I just turn it on and walk away. That way, if I get a 72 hour suspension, I don't miss my new badges:)
I normally hit the 40 or 50s boards and look for rooms that are empty. If none are, I jump into one that has one person. Sometimes that person will leave, sometimes not. If you see their name popping up alot, it usually means it is safe. I will usually hit the new game button 4 or 5 times, just to keep me off 100 percent, then just go for it. I have to tell you that above level 30 it is crawling very slowly so I don't have the time to be careful. I can't imagine how slow the going will be above 40.
I don't know that the level matters, but I play on hard. The other thing I do is delete the file that the auto generates every once in a while. I'm not sure what it is for, but it seems to speed up the auto by doing that (or maybe it was just a cowinky dink) ;D
Mr. Bill:
I have all my autos in a seperate folder on my desktop labeled "Pogo"....are you referring to the extra data file that shows up after I've used this auto? I usually delete those as well.
I've been trying to find rooms with no one in it but it's getting difficult. Went into a room this evening with only one other person and they seemed to be on auto as well.
Will just have to take my chances. :)) Thanks.

Mrs B,
Yes, those are the files I'm talking about. I don't know if deleting them actually makes the program run smoother, but that's what appears to be happening. I'm up to level 33 now. Figure I'll finish it by Christmas. LOL
