I wonder what your scores will be now that you know you get double score for getting four corner hands in PUP

Puzzmo #296 (August 6, 2024):

FlipArt:
Time: 15s
Score: 3,071
Rotations: 13
Perfect:  ✔️


15s is a new record for perfect for me, I think.


Crossword:
Plonks: 7
Time: 17m40s
Score: 2,359
Hints: 0


I spent a good 6 minutes idling so time isn't entirely accurate, but still, pretty solid puzzle today. I gimped myself by wrongly guessing 6D as "ROYALTY FREE" instead of "NOVELTY SONG" so I got hard stuck with some adjacent words not making sense.


Typeshift:
Time: 2m40s
Score: 2,489
Hints: 0
Words found: 7
All core words: ✔️

Well, I got all the core words. Of course, it wasn't just all core words because words like PASES and PRASE exist for some reason.


TrioShift:
Time: 3m59s
Score: 1,987
Hints: 0
Words found: 22

This week's bonus game is a variation of the TypeShift puzzle, with the variation being there are only three letters to shift (to make three letter words). I long gave up doing core words only, and thought "oh, maybe there's a scoreboard for most words found" so I started to rack up words. Nope. Rip effort.


Pile-Up Poker (Best Hand):
Total hands: 8
Quality hands: 4
Time: 3m43s
Score: $6,275

I almost had a really good winning total in my fourth hand but I risked it on getting a card in the last round that I never got.

Well so far it hasn't really made any noticeable change to my final scores.
