With atleast 64 characters in this book, I would have been surprised had I not got all the alphabets covered.

End of Week 5 and I must say I felt this was the toughest week for us.
The smallest word, but a Z and 3 vowels in a total of 5 letters was indeed a tough nut to crack.. but we did good in the end.

Here are both the spreadsheets for everyone's reference :
Official Spreadsheet
Team Spreadsheet

------------------------

Weekly Tally

Total Points : 325
Total Books Read : 25
Total Complete Spell-outs : 5

.. and that completes 5 spell-outs for the week ! :)

Yes, 4 spell-outs complete !
M, A, Z, E to go for the 5th !

What 'a maze' this challenge is ! :P

I will probably have my I book in by end of today.. and maybe one more based on what we need after that !

I will do some moving around to see how we fit in our words after I go home.

Its been a bit 'running around' kinda day at work.
So, we might just be in a better state than what the spreadsheet would say.

I will have an update in a few hours !

EDIT : Made the update that Kelly suggested and now we have three complete spell-outs ! WooHoo !

I, Z, E to go for the forth !

How I love Zane Garrett ! ^_^

Does anyone have a Maize/Yellow Brown book cover in handy ?

Wining for points indeed is improbable.
But, we are improving nicely. Last week was out highest position and if we continue to read as much we might actually end up close to the top 10s.

.. and going by the colors dolled out on us, we can really aim for the difficult letters.. we have had a lot of I/E/Y/U etc.

I really should not update the Spreadsheet when I am in a daze.

Thanks for pointing out the discrepancy, Sarah. Apologies for the mistake. I have rectified it. I am glad you are double-checking the Spreadsheet, always good to have a second set of eyes.

.. and I agree to your strategy for using the 'difficult' words in the incomplete word. Will make sure the spreadsheet reflects that in the upcoming weeks.
