Your task is to find as many words as possible (each containing four letters or more) from the nine letters supplied. Each word must contain the central letter in the grid, and each letter may be used only once in the word. There will be at least one word which uses all nine letters.
Type each word you find in the 'Enter Word' box and hit return. All the words you enter will appear in the box to the right. As you enter the words you will be given your running score as a percentage of the total possible number of words in the puzzle.
All words in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary are eligible with the following exceptions:
Forms of verbs (past tenses, past participles and present participles) and forms of adjectives (comparatives and superlatives) which are formed regularly are eligible even where they do not specifically appear in the dictionary.
The par target is to discover 65% of the total possible words within 20 minutes. If you can attain that target you will score 200 points.
Your score will be increased or decreased by 20 points for every 5% of the words discovered above or below that par target. No points are awarded for finding fewer than 20% of the words.
If you wish to continue playing the game beyond the target time of 20 minutes your score will be reduced by 5% for every part minute you use. No points are awarded if you exceed a time of 40 minutes.
Note that only your first score for each puzzle will be entered onto the leaderboard and that you must be registered and logged in.
