Word Pyramid

Maybe this is old news, but it's now playable here. I ran across it on My_First_Little_Pony's pet page.
I'm not much good at finding words in that jumble of letters, though I like the fact that the letters don't need to be in order, as long as they're touching.

The worst part about this game (not a problem with the game per se, just with me) is that I'll get the pyramid about 2/3 eliminated and then I run out of vowels...so I just have to sit there and hope an A or an I drops into a useful place. I have this pile of alphabetic sludge, and then I get a U - it's like I won the lottery.

I hear you, shapu. The same thing happened to me. I mean, it's a good game, but there's just not enough vowels. I think it would be great to have one free "reshuffle" per game, so to speak. One opportunity to have all the letters randomly change, but without changing the tile positions. That way we could get some vowels back when we're out/low.

When I played this game I realized the dictionary Neopets uses doesn't have a lot of the word I commonly use for word games, like 'hag' 'trods', or 'tor'.
Aside from that, and the running out of vowels thing (which is why you can buy them, I think), this game's pretty good. I like how the pieces fall down the pyramid.

Huh. I thought you could only get them from new tiles or the blank tiles. Goes to show what happens when you don't read the instructions. ^^;;

Has anyone else had problems with it not giving out the proper amount of neopoints? It says that you get 50np for every 100 points. I scored a 1286, it stated I received 643np, and yet I only received 83. Which I was a bit upset about, given I delayed what I was working on to play out the game (I really hate timed games, especially those without a pause...I like to play Neopets while RPing.)
Edit: The second time I was awarded the proper amount of Neopoints, thankfully. I have a feeling they're going to be lowering the amount you can get from this game pretty quickly, given how easy it is to play. Now if only there were pause options. :p
