Each clue contains ten letters arranged in alphabetical order. Score a strike by forming a word out of the ten letters. Score a spare by finding two words from the ten letters. If the ten letter word is a compound, you cannot break up the compound to form the two "spare" words. As an example; if your ten letter word works out to be "background" you can't use back and ground for the spare. A clue is considered to be answered when a strike and a spare are both completed.

The circled letters are for the bonus frame and the same rules apply. The bonus frame can be answered at any time.
