Hi Sharon, sorry to be a pain in the butt but I just want to check I've got this right. For the 'specials' you want words that mean the same as the given words rather than a type of that word - for example, you're looking for a word that means flower and not a type of flower like tulip and a word that means dinner and not a dinner item like turkey etc? Or have I got that completely wrong? Lol.

Megan (bookslayerReads) wrote: "The General tasks, like book title/author, etc... each of those are worth 1 point, is that right?"

That's right, plus extra points for extra Ts. For example an author named Tony Taylor would be worth 2 points and a title (for example) - Terrible Tasting Toast would be worth 3.

Megan (bookslayerReads) wrote: "I'm also confused about the Secondary tasks... I thought (for 2 pts) we could find words that start with T that meant the same as the word given. For example, for "chocolate", we might use "treat" ..."

The second section is slightly more complicated - you have the option of finding a word that means the same as the given word (or sometimes an example of the given word) starting with the letter and that's worth 2 points OR you can choose to find the actual word given but there must be a T word in the same sentence, and that's worth 1 point.

Hope that makes sense :)
