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

Hello AnnaTest,

I'm sorry if not all parts of the game work perfectly. I will note this and if we rewrite the game in the future we will try to correct it. However, we're a small team here providing a free service, so our resources are limited in terms of time. To change something like this we will need to rewrite the game entirely, so it's not something we can just tweak.

As I said, your comment and that of JustBookObsessed has been noted.

I hope you enjoy the game in spite of any glitches, and good luck in your learning!

I have only played for one month, and my highest score is 45. It's a bit low, I know I'm trying to improve but this game is hard and challenging, but still fun

I get 32.

it's good?

we got 34, learn to play!

got 222 today, I'm the best

Got 70 points highest

Is 184 good?

Yeah, you're on fire. My best is 45. You make me look bad when it is a good score

First time got 24

Got to 128, today. Just one 'S' and a combo of 'qu', twice 'y', one 'x'. I get it, it'll help me reach new levels on remembering vocabulary I know, but seriously... I've got the feeling it got harder after I subscribed! I got three 's' once, before subscribing (my record then was, and still is, 206).
