Find the words
How many words can you find, with these letters:

Quote:
MEENLORROOTCT
Each word gives a certain number of points:

Code:
# of words:				Points:
13 (The exact word in my mind)		50
13					40
12					35
11					30
10					15
9					10
8					8
7					7
6					6	
5					5
4					4
The first poster to post a new word gets the point (No need to repost "old" words)

No editing allowed... except by me


You're allowed to write a "sentence" instead, you may add a MAX of one "space"... but you may not use the same letter more times than it's represented above...
Though it has to make sense, otherwise you wont get the ponts...



Anyone up for this?

I don't know when this will end... let's see how many interested players there are... if there is any...






Score so far:

Code:
-Jrabbit 		179
Oedo:			57
Q Cubed			52
Skanky burns:		43
Cerberusiv 		35
Mikeh 			10

No, it doesn't have to be a sentence (Wouldn't count anyway), just word for word...

But keep in mind words with 3 letters or less (Or should I make it 4 letters?) wont count, so don't bother with those

If there's words I don't know, I'll check them in Word... if they don't exist in MS word, they wont count

At present time it doesn't know:

Does anyone know how come I can't sort in MSWord 2003?

When I select text like this:

Word1
Word3
Word2

And choose sort, it says "Could not find valid records to sort"

Well this is probably from a football report headline, but I've got Cole Tormentor using all the letters. Not much of a sentence though.

And in case you're wondering... the letters makes a full word, which will be released when times up... which it will be in about 24 hours...

And just because you have already posted some words, doesn't mean you can't post more...

I think I'll make the longer words more attractive, by giving them more points

This doesn't make any sense to me, but if you can find some official site where this is written, I'll reconsider it?

Sorry, have completely forgotten about this thread, so I haven't updated the scores... I'll calculate the scores later today, or tomorow, and then the game will end... and since not many people replied to this, I don't think there's any reason to make a new one...
