The formula was missing in the cell you used, it's fixed now 😊

Thanks so much, Jessica

Hi! Sorry that's giving you trouble. I checked the link and it seems other people can access it, so I'm not sure what's happening. Try this one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

If that doesn't work I can share it with you directly via your email and see if that works better! Just shoot me a message if so and we can sort this out there

Still not working. I see everything, I just can not edit.
It looks like a different google worksheet than the one we used in the Rivendell challenge. Is it a new kind/version?

I use chrome to access Good Reads on my iPad. Let me try something on my end first.

Ok, this is weird. The newest update for Chrome and Google Workplace, don’t sync together on IPad any longer. (Both are Google products 🤨)

I got the things working by switch off Chrome. Switched over to Safari. Google Workplace now works.

Keeping fingers crossed that GR keeps working on Safari (reason why I was using Chrome)

Oh god that's so annoying, I'm sorry it's fussing with you like that. Glad it works now though!

Hi Saige
If we add an s to the first word played do we get points for that word plus the new word ( like in scrabble) or are you just counting the new word?

You get points for both, like in Scrabble! But also like in Scrabble, I won't count the double or triple letter/word tiles twice, so the word you add onto will only be worth its point value in letters, without the bonuses

Awesome, thank you

Question on publishing - if it's Hardwick Publishing, would we use K or G for the letter.

Also, do we ignore LLC at the end of the publishing or use the C?

Sorry if this has already been asked and I missed it.

Hi Saige , are we using English spelling or American spelling

For Hardwick Publishing it would be G, and if there's an LLC at the end then count it for C. I'm going by the absolute last letter in whatever the official name of the publisher is

Hi! You're welcome to use either, as long as the word is present in the US or the UK official scrabble dictionary

Saige would it be possible to have the points for each letter (posted below) to be put onto the scrabble board tab so that it's easier to plan out out next word?

1 - A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T, U
2 - D, G
3 - B, C, M, P
4 - F, H, V, W, Y
5 - K
8 - J, X
10 - Q, Z

Hey Saige,

Does any edition work for a letter—title, series title, or publisher? Or is it the edition you read? I didn't see it in the rules or if it was asked previously. Thanks!

Any edition works!

Saige, I thought we were to alway have a tray of 10 letters. I only count 9 letters. Was I wrong on tray count?

No, you're right! I just forgot to add one of them the last time I did your letter updates - thanks for pointing it out to me!

Thanks Saige!

Hey Saige,

For MC initials, if a character has a given name but goes by nickname can we pick either of them for our letter?

Toshita wrote: "Hey Saige,

Sure, I think that's fine! Whatever the name they usually use/the one that's most common in the text

Hey Saige,
I already read a book for the challenge (Aurora Rising) but am going to reread for a series BR in September. Would it be okay for me to add the buddy read points only?

Sure! Please just make sure to mention that in your review post so I remember!!

will do - thanks Saige!!

Saige - @1.20pm yesterday someone accidently deleted several columns on our banked tab. If I restore back to this version, we will lose the new scrabble board we got. (Team Equinox)

Can you fix this for us? Or do we need to go and manually add all of that info back?

Hi Jamie! I think it should be fixed now - I'll message your team's chat
