Psst...I think you may have misfigured Grace's points. She went from 68 down to 62. I think you doubled her E's the first time but not the others. I think she should have 34+34+14+14+19=115. Now that is out of the way, I'll select a letter before bed...UMMM I'll take the S please!

[Grace]

A, please.

Thanks, Moesha. I didn't even catch that myself

[Karen]

S, please

S, please

LOL I guessed the S at the end of my points post. Sorry. This is a crazy puzzle.

Moesha thank you for the correction. Grace, I knew the points were wrong, and I was going to check this morning. I had some major computer problems to contend with and I was rather tired, I'm sorry. I'll correct everything now.

Here's the puzzle:
