That makes total sense. I guess "best score" would be a better wording in that case.

Thanks, I have adjusted it to:

Best Score: XXX

(Aim for a lower score)

Just refresh the page

"lowest score" would be self explanatory. "Best score" still made me think I was doing better with a higher score

on the other hand, it might be better to change the scoring system. Calculate the worst score using the current system. Then reverse so the score goes up as in displayScore = worstScore - oldWayOfCalculatingScore
