How these answers are scored
Letterly pays for originality. An answer scores more the fewer players gave it, so the "most common" answers above earned only a few points each, while a valid answer nobody else thought of is worth up to 100. Only answers the game accepted as valid are shown, and nothing here identifies a player. Full rules and scoring. More rounds that used the letter J: Letterly answers for J.
