how many words can you find?
last night we had tuesday night dinner and poker night. so many people showed up this week! it was really awesome… kat and jayson came over early to help me cook and kat made some ginger chicken and jayson sauteed the bakchoy with tomatoes and onions. but what was really cool was that kat, rita, shelia, and marlene were all there, in addition to jayson, mark schatzschneider, gwyn, chad, chris, marc rolle, and ron. it was the first large gathering in a long time…
at the end of dinner shelia and i thought it’d be fun to join forces and play boggle online as a team, trying to improve our score and possibly get first place. in a few minutes it ended being the whole group crowded around my small 12” laptop with me at the helm, kat on my left, shelia on my right, chad, ron, marlene, and the rest behind me as i typed the words that people were shouting out at me. our score improved and we were getting within the top 10 fairly often, but we never got first place....
later that night when perry showed up he ate a late dinner and i sat next to him, playing sudoku online while keeping him company. we finished all the games for the day and then i opened up boggle again, and for our second game we broke 100! i think we got 105 points and the winner had 110? ok, so then the next time, our score was 66, and the winner was 69! it was pretty impressive that perry could match the crowds of people around me =) he’s just so smart! =) yesh, he is… =)
anyways, we played a couple more games till we got this one:
i know, it’s a low score, but we got first place! that’s the actual board that we got all our words on.
you get 1 point for 4-letter words
2 pts for 5-letter words
3 pts for 6-letter words
5 pts for 7-letter words
11 pts for 8-letter words and larger
how many can you get?
