Thanks for the stats, StÃ©. Guess I am done at 121 words / 4.71 / 1631 points then. Today's favorite for me: the O8/40. Never knew there was a word for what my love tries to do every night, making more noise than anyone I know. ;-)

The long Ys are not in dic.com, but seem to be related to one of the Y/5s--with a suffix meaning "to make more."

How many ways can you spell "Nyet" in this grid? Reminds me of a commercial here in the US for CapitalOne.
