    Had a go, but only got half the points you've got there!

    That was my 12th and best go. It took about 6 to get in the swing of finding the extra points rather than just finding enough words.

    My early scores were just over 100 and my best after was 162.

    Catching up after the weekend, I set myself a new record of 316.

    However, how do you play the game when on of the petals/words is a blank?

    April 28th.

    I'll struggle to top this mornings effort. Maybe I should retire?

    Dropped below 200 for the first time in over a week. Difficult combination.

    I still haven't worked out how to use the "blank" petal from 28 April.

    I tried this today (128) for the first time. Are different letters worth more, or is it entirely the length of the word that counts?

    The middle letter has to be used but you can use the same letter more than once.

    That was my score. Took me three words to realise I could use the same letter twice. Didn't get less than a 6 after that.
