A Cleverly-Titled Logic Puzzle Blog: Contest: Words Without Friends 4: Game Version (RESULTS!)

I received a paltry 3 entries for this contest.

Christian H.P. 1095
Michael Tang 1054
Sam Levitin 815

Their grids may be seen here.

Since I received so few entries, I'm making the executive decision to award all three entrants the grand prize! (For what it's worth, random.org would have awarded Michael Tang the grand prize and Christian H.P. second prize.) I really tried to make it easy to enter (750 is really easy to beat; your entry doesn't have to be optimized to have a chance at winning, but optimizing it will increase your chances), but only three people showed up. Maybe now that you see how easy it is to get a prize, you'll enter next time, eh? :)
