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 point4 letters = 2 points5 letters = 3 points
6 letters = 4 points7 letters = 7 points

Thank you! It's never impossible. Keep going. Whenever you have a good word panel, try to make the most of it as fast as you can. Little by little, more words will come to you. Set yourself a short-term goal like 80 points and you'll see that you'll reach it soon. Keep it up!
