How I participate in this contest

Posted using Partiko Android

Hello Leeuw, only one word per letter but an example if I put the word computer and I already have several letters, I imagine that this is not valid?
The word should only carry a single letter of the ones you are placing?

for ex. 'computer part' : the second word (part) is totally invalid because T and P and R are already used in computer, but for example: 'computer laugh' are both valid (U is used twice, thats ok, you have one more use of U available)

Hello, very creative friend the contest, and very happy to collaborate in the contest, now if we are going to create words, there is time to create words, greetings @leeuw

10.No
11.Hi

hmm, rule number 1 mentions minimum 4 letters per word, this entry has 3 valid words, Fuji. Is original though!

It's okay I tried and I learnt something winning does not matter thank you @leeuw for this opportunity I hope my word building improves in future 😃

yes you are right, you have the courage to fail, you get up and better next time, great attitude! bodes well for your future life! Thanks for participating.

@ lovepreet2511 you have all the reason I congratulate you for your attitude if I were the owner of the insurance contest I would reward you for example that you have given, the important thing is to compete and learn.

Thank you @alejo1996 most important thing is to improve even If I didn't won the contest I learnt something this lead to improving myself and everytime we improve we become better version of our self and this the only thing which matters 😊

Hello friend but a letter (example: MTQRS) can be used in several words? or is it used once and should it be deleted?

a letter can be used only once in this contest, except a e i o u y can use 3x and minimum 4 letters per word

Hello Friend! here my entry my words are all in Spanish:

*CUESTIONABLE
*EXPERIMENTOS
*HOJALATAS

*EXUBERANTE
*VICTORIOSA

*HELICOPTEROS
*EXPORTACION

IT IS THAT OR IS A PRAYER?

So it would be very easy and everyone was already participating

the letters can not be repeated only the A I O E U Y and three times each the others only once, if the C is placed in the word CASA and the C and S can not be placed in another and the A has only one chance left
