Two of your group have suddenly fallen under intense depression, and a lack of will to move on. In order to get the group out of the depression- the remaining three of you convince them it's probably the best idea to return to Manhattan and the mainland with the little gas you have left. Realizing that the group will return to normal after a day like each plague has usually gone, you decide to sedate them and move them into the boat yourself.
To navigate to Manhattan, you will need strength. To get strength, you will use the puzzle below. The more points you have, the more strength you get. You will try to connect the letters to make words. You can connect them diagonally, sideways, or up-and-down. You are not limited to crossword format, so if two letters connect diagonally, not every letter in the word has to connect diagonally. However, once you use a tile for one word, you cannot use it again.
With each word, you will get a point for how many letters it is, however there are bonuses you can get:
-Point value doubles if your word is 6+ words
-Point value triples if your word is 10+ words
-Point value doubles if your word uses a green '?'
-Point value triples if your word uses a peach '?'.
-Point value quadruples if your word uses a blue '?'.
(You can replace "?"s with whatever you'd like.)
Now, you will have a 'submission' thread. DO NOT DISCUSS in this thread. Before the challenge ends, each post in the threads should be an individual word you are using with a picture of it connected on the chart in the post as well. You do not have to update it. If you want to create a discussion thread, do so yourselves separately. Make sure however, that you will probably need a chart that has all of the words you've used because you CANNOT overlap letters. For this challenge, the person on the losing tribe who posts the most words for their tribe will receive individual immunity for the round. On the winning tribe, the person who gets the most points will receive a clue to the Pistol (HII) that is hidden in the merged tribe, which will happen next round.
