First, an apology. We had changed the daily drawing to anyone who had at least half of the anagrams instead of two-thirds and failed to reflect this on the anagram page. This is now fixed. Also, the 100 point bonus now requires 10 words to receive it. But the good news is you'll receive it as soon as you get 10 words. Enjoy.

What's so nice about thsi is you know people at least have to do a bit of thinking to get the points. I had to do quite a bit this morning lol, to get my fair share of words!

Hi j-squared and all,
Guess what? I got 123 words last night, andthey all came right out of my head, honest, I swear it. That's the most I ever got. I got 86 once, and 88 another time, but 123 was the most I ever got.

Also I totally believe that you did it on your own. We all know who the cheaters are ... (evil grin). And don't anybody start thinking I'm referring to anyone, I'm not. I'm just saying we all know Wonderwoman's honest, that's it.

thanks Caitlin, yeah, if I cheated, I'd always be the first one at the top of the list of 5 leaders. I started in on a game around midnight once, right when the word of the day changed, and I was on the list of top 5, though I was on the bottom, but I didn't stay on the list long, lol.

Hello Alison. No, you only get 100 points for finding the first 10 words. In order to win more points, u must find at least half of the anagrams for that day. After finding at least half of the anagrams, you have a chance to win twice the number of points for the anagrams you found. Like, lets say I found 150 Anagrams and I was picked to win that day. I would then recieve 300 extra points. In other words, 2 points for each word found. I hope this makes sense to you, but if it doesn't, let me know and I will try explaining it another way.

How about having a points prize for those who do get all teh possible words for that day's anagram? Maybe it could be 500 or 1000 points. I'm not saying that because I do that a lot, cuz I don't, I just thought it would be an insentive to get all the words.

That used to be what they did kinda, but then people would just cheat to get a load of points, so now, you can only win the jackpot once a week. Caitlin
