NOTES

  • At first I had AGREE for my A word - until I discovered ARGENT (which is worth an extra point).

  • Because there are 3 E's, I've had to think of 3 different words.

  • Although ENTREE is originally a "foreign" word, it is now part of normal English (and it's in  my dictionary!).  The same for EPEE.

  • I eventually discovered PERCENTAGE as the 10-letter word - after I started with PRATE then PARENT then PERCENT.

  • 60 is not a very good score.  I could probably do better with a bit more tenacity - and I suspect you could do, too.  Why not have a look at the current TENacity puzzle.
