I can't reach the target score today. I usually get it fairly easily. Many thanks if anyone can help. It's too long to type here, so only those people with the paper can help, sorry!
Can only get one 7-letter word: Bowsers. Unfortunately Brooch is not spelt with an "e" so can only get 6 letters there. My top score is 156. Have you done better?
I had the same ( except I had recede instead of decree for 27 points) and I only add mine up to 156, i.e.27+74+39+16. Yours and mine both fall short of the target set.
