How many points can you get in three minutes? Longer words score more points!

Playing Rules

You are given a random assortment of 16 letters in a 4x4 grid and are set a time limit of 3 minutes. In that time you must spell as many words as possible. The words, of course must be real words, spelt correctly as checked against the word list of 52,000 words and must contain between 3 and 7 letters. A letter cannot be used twice in the same word.

When forming your word, you can select letters from any position as long as you follow the spelling order.

Scoring

Points are awarded depending on the number of letters in the word (the "Qu" cube counts as two letters).

3 letters = 1 point 4 letters = 2 points 5 letters = 3 points
6 letters = 4 points 7 letters = 7 points

Pardon me, but I've a question.. Why I received comments don't arrived for me?

Hello Kumako,

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Are you asking about replies to comments you make on the pages, such as this one? We do not reply to all comment but we try to answer all questions we are asked, even if it sometimes takes a little time. Is there a particular comment you have posted which has not received a reply?
