I started badly here, not realizing you could repeat letters. My second effort on today’s puzzle was better:

Play Blossom:

Didn’t post but guessing the 14 letter word was interdependent. Believe that word scored 50.

Score would be 7 (pangram bonus) +12 pts (length >=7) + 21 (3x length -7) + 5 x (petal bonus), so 60 pts if used when ‘e’ is in bonus, since there are 4 e’s

Investments?

I am a poor typist, so i am constantly having to retype sensitivities at work. Yet i totally blanked on that word today.

I was expecting this thread to be about this. I wasn’t sure why the OP would bring it up though.

:nerd_face: I built a spreadsheet to show score options, and then picked order to try to maximize score. Some of those words in all words are definitely outside my vocabulary.
