28:00.Nice!
This is my favorite of the three scrabbles this week. I think part of what i liked was that all of the words were relatively small, so they interacted with each other more than usual.
So in this puzzle I have to connect words by intersection?
Yes. “All words must be connected, and no words other than the given words can appear in the grid.”
