Blossom (word game - Merriam Webster)

[HelloMist]

Does anyone want a Blossom thread? Not sure if I'll keep doing it but saw this recommended on another thread and I find it more fun than NYT Spelling Bee. (Which you can't get far on for free anyway).

Thanks for the link upthread. Dec 17.

Have just tried for the first time-also didn't realise you could use letters twice until the game took pity on me and told me!
Also didn't realise you earned extra for the letter outlined in yellow til about halfway.

Still I liked it and earned 205 points but am blushing to put my score after @BarnacleBeasley !!

Found it difficult to find much today.

@MrsMitford3 that is a very good first score! Especially on a trickier puzzle like today's.

@MrsMitford3 yeah my early scores were nowhere near as high as yours - and there are people on this thread who beat me every single day!

@HelloMist @BarnacleBeasley

thank you for your kind words! It's def one I am going to keep going with-felt I was only just starting to get hang of it by the end.

What made todays difficult-is it just an awkward group of letters? Are there some deliberately harder-like levels?
