One thing puzzles me, there are 5 badges awarded for the mouse ending to 4 for the bird. Why would someone not do both endings? For the laugh if not the badge.
Having played a bit more, I withdraw that last post. The save is about right, and handing out transform tools for synergies has made the game much easier.
You've probably heard this before, but QWERTY is not superior, it was designed to slow down English language typists to reduce jam-ups on early typewriters.
You were right, I just did ring 14 with _five_ red/stella synergies, and only got awarded red 9-pool & stella 9-pool. At a guess I'm missing 10/12 spare tiles.
Needs some sort of reasonable progression of difficulty , you get a level that you almost give up on then the next 3 take 4 tries total.
And lose the cheesy muzak.
