YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

We have found 30 words that can be made from the letters in the square, each of which uses the letter in the middle and contains at least four letters. We accept plurals but not proper nouns. Sometimes, we don’t publish all the words because of space constraints. We challenge you to beat the score above, and also to make at least one nine-letter word. Occasionally, there are two nine-letter words. If that’s the case give yourself bonus points!

Today’s Target:

Excellent: 30.

Good: 10; Very Good: 20;
