The keyword for this puzzle comes from the classic 1961 album by Sun Ra and his Myth Science Arkestra: Fate in a Pleasant Mood. For the new and improved rules, please see the comments section from the previous posting. i will reveal the solution i have come up with next weekend. Enjoy!
I spent some time today messing with Vox's puzzle. I found it most entertaining. You get well bonused for bigger words, but sometimes when you use a longer word, the remaining letters are very difficult to use up, and you get harshly penalized for that. One way of simplifying the scoring in terms of word repetition, might be to allow repeated words (which you would use only to avoid the penalty for not using all letters), but not give any points for them at all. I'm not 100% sure I'm solving this correctly, but the best way to find out is to post a solution. For scoring, I'm assuming that if you use a word, then on another line use the plural form of the same word, they count as different words. I'm not offering any guarantees that my scoring is 100% accurate... Here is my first stab at it:
