Does Anyone Play Metzger Media Countdown?0

If so, do you know how the scoring works? I can’t figure it out.

Just had a look (and spent twenty minutes playing - it's good fun!)

It looks to me that you get points per letter as they would score in Scrabble, but the tile points double for multiple use, so if you played FUZZY it would be worth 39 points (10 for the first Z, 20 for the second)

I wondered if the tiles used scrabble points but I couldn’t figure out the doubling up. I got a word the other day that added up to about 135. Goodness knows how.

Thanks Mozz. I’m trying to take more notice now.

Every time I’ve been knocked out it’s because I’ve got a Q with no U, so I now save Us until the very last moment. I’ve learnt that much at least. :o)

There are other games available on that site but this is my favourite.

Thanks again.

No worries. As with the card game site, you've pointed me in the direction of another new distraction, so I thank you in return.

If it is any consolation, I played for ten minutes before realising I could use the letters more than once!

Haaa! I did that too. I also hurried when the tiles flashed red thinking I was running out of time because there’s another game there that is timed. No restrictions on this one - and whenever you stop playing it saves the current game - so you can continue whenever you want to. My highest score was abut 39,000 - then that blasted Q got me!

I’ll give you a Best Answer when I’m on my desktop. Can’t do it from my phone.

Thanks again.
