{FINALE ~ PART 01}

Bananagrams

Throughout this game, the team challenges have tended to fall in one of three categories: collaboration among teammates, compilation of individual performances, or communication of limited information. To finish out that theme, this finale will consist of one of each of those challenge types. The team who performs the worst in each challenge will be eliminated from contention. The last team standing will be named the ultimate champions.

Rules

This challenge will test your ability to work together while segregating duties for maximum efficiency.

When your team is ready to begin, you'll be given a google drawing containing a number of lettered squares similar to the drawing from the Jigsawdoku challenge. As quickly as possible, you must arrange these letters into an interconnected grid of words in the English language. You are allowed to use https://www.dictionary.com/ to verify whether something is a valid word. Proper nouns, names, abbreviations, and acronyms are not allowed. In addition, all words

must contain at least 4 letters.

Once you successfully complete the grid, you will receive additional letters that you must then add to your grid somehow. The number of letters you start with will be equal to (10 + (5 x the # of players on your team)). Each subsequent set with contain (2 + the # of players on your team) letters. After you've worked the tenth additional set of letters into your grid, your time will stop.

The team with the slowest time will be eliminated.
