Flowerpots

About The Game
Flowerpots is a Word Ladder game. Players make new words by changing one letter at a time.

Each letter is written on a flowerpot and scoring is determined by the number of flowers in the pot when that letter is changed. New flowers grow each round, rewarding players who change less-frequently used letters with more points.

This is a turn-based game. Each player takes six turns, and there is a time limit of 15 seconds per turn.

Scoring
The number of points awarded for a correct word is the number of flowers in the selected pot, for instance a pot containing 4 flowers is +4 points.

If the player makes an invalid word, or if the turn timer reaches zero, no points are awarded for that turn.

Tips
It is impossible to get "stuck" because you can always change a letter back to its previous value. This is always the lowest-scoring play available (+1 point), but it is preferable to forfeiting a turn if you cannot think of another word!
