Yes list everything it works for, so for example,

How it fits:
E Author first Name
R Title

As long as we've agreed on the word and placement beforehand either the person who submits the final letter, or whoever notices and is willing to do it can submit.

What do we think about placement? It's been years since I played scrabble so I can't remember the best strategy, but I'm guessing we try and put the highest scoring letters in line with a double/triple point spot.

I'm thinking starting on 6H going down, so we get double points for the letter Y

161636 Waiting for access to SS

Letters we have are

A E R R Y N H O E M

We need to read a book for each letter before we can submit a word and get new letters to replace the ones we've used.

Should we go with Harmony first?

I'm happy to play with anyone but I'd love to be with Janeylou and Amanda if possible.
I can do 10 books per month."


If that puts our BPM too high, I don't mind having mine capped, and I'm sure Amanda won't either.
