DarleenMB

O5/16? what??? is this some kind of alien-speak? I cannot frelling find it! augh. again! I'm going to go melt something.

2:43 pm

Daisy

There's at least one more O 4/4. But I'm with DarleenMB - I cannot make an O 5/16. argh!

2:45 pm

testing

There is only one combination of points that will give you the 16 for the O5. Think about 8.

2:47 pm

testing

I lied. There's more than one combo. But this particular word contains no letters valued at 4 points.

2:50 pm

Daisy

thanks testing, I thought I tried that but I spelled it wrong.
