I apologize for not posting results earlier. My day has been extremely hectic and I've not been able to get to the computer much this afternoon or evening. :(

I will be posting results later tomorrow, hopefully. :pray:

The fourth and final puzzle will be posted Sunday evening between 7-9PM (if I'm online earlier, I'll post it earlier). Deadline will be 24 hours from the time of posting.

Boggle - Round Four

Image
(Click on picture to open in new browser)

Private message me your word list by Monday, June 26 at 7:00PM Eastern.

Since this is the last round, I will be changing the rules slightly.

1) No three letter words will be accepted. Only words consisting of 4+ letters will be considered for points.
2) Point distribution for unique words will be as follows for this round:

4 letters – 2 points
5 letters – 3 points
6 letters – 5 points
7 letters – 8 points
8 or more – 12 points

Remember that every point counts! Consolation cash prizes will be based on how many points you've earned by the end of the game.

Have fun!

Kayla, if I recall correctly, I reduced the $75 entry fee for you so you wouldn't have to pay it all. :anxious:

I looked over the word lists from the second round and it appears I overlooked a few words that cannot be found in the puzzle. :-k

Points have been re-tallied and standings have been updated.

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.

Don't worry, Kayla. All participants will receive at least a minimum consolation prize. :)

I regret to announce final scores and standings will not be available until after I return from vacation on July 10. I was out for most of today. :(

Until then, I shall have to leave you in suspense. Farewell. :bye:
