2-Day Contest: Scrabble-With-A-Twist Challenge

simplymike (67)in #contest • 7 years ago (edited)

SteemIt doesn't have to be all work and no play. Take a break an join us in this Scrabble game.

CONTEST CLOSED

The new educational game for newbies I'm setting up is taking me more time than I thought it would, so I thought I'd post this scrabble game to keep you guys busy while I'm working on it.
(I know Steemit is all about being busy, so I thought I'd offer you something fun, so you can take a little break to load up the batteries again.)

The Game

Below, you'll find a set of Scrabble tiles. (I do hope you know how to play scrabble?)
Now the goal of the game is to use these tiles - ONLY these tiles - to form words.

As you can see in the example below, you can take 4 of the tiles to form the word 'list'. The numbers on the tiles represent the score, so 'list' will be a word that is worth 4 points.

But this is not a regular Scrabble game, in which you have to score the most points to win the game. I gave it a little twist.

I 've hidden two words in this Scrabble game that are related to SteemIt.

I wrote them down and submitted them to @davemccoy for proof.

MAIN PRIZE:

The first one that comments with those same two words wins the big prize: 5SBD and a resteem by @ebargains (this means you can resteem one of your posts to over 120k followers on their Steemit/Facebook/Twitter accounts! )

SECOND PRIZE:

The person with the highest score generated in only 1 word will win 50% of the SBD this post generates + a resteem by @vallurivikram.

So if you can't find any SteemIt related words, you should try your best to create a long word that is worth as many points as possible.

This game ends in 2 days. Only comments that have been submitted before February 8th, 2018 at 4pm GMT (11am EST) will be eligible to win the prize.
To win the big prize, you must be the first to comment with the exact same 2 words I have written down.
The person with the highest letter score in only 1 word wins 50% of the generated SBD + gets a resteem by @vallurivikram.
You can comment with new words as often as you like.
Submitted words should be real English words
You MUST count your own letter points and add your score for each word after that word in your comment.
You can use every tile only once!!
However not necessary to enter the contest, upvoting and resteeming is recommended to put some money in the prize pool.
Winners will be announced on Thursday night (February 8th).
Prizes will be sent after post payout.

Your Turn

Below, you can find the tiles/letters you can use. Be creative, try short words with high letter scores, try long words with lower letter scores and especially try to find those 2 words related to SteemIt I have hidden in there.

Upvotes and resteems would be very much appreciated in order to fill the prize pool.

UPDATE - CONTEST WINNER (09/02/2018)

Since nobody has found both words I had selected, nobody wins the big prize.
