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

I love this game and my best point is 13 šŸ˜…. I hope to get more then that in the future .

Same; like this game, wanna play it with my nephews ^^ I got to a stalemate, actually; hardly ever get under 100, but still struggle to go over 200. 

Just starting, bro; it all depends on some luck for the random grid... and it doesn't hurt being able to use the keyboard (there was a time I couldn't; my speed skyrocketed once I became able to ^^'). Wish you good luck, in case you want to keep on.

I keep practicing here, at least once a day, if I can
