Similar to bowling, Bowl-A-Grams is made up of 10 "frames". In each frame you're provided with ten letters. Award yourself a strike (20 points) if you can unscramble a ten letter word. Award yourself a spare (10 points) if you can unscramble two words using all ten letters. However, you can't split your ten letter answer to make the two words. As an example, if your ten letter worked out to be "forecaster" you can't use "fore" and "caster" as your spare words. A perfect score, as in bowling, is 300 points. When posting a frame answer, please provide the ten letter word for the strike and the two spare words. Some spares may have multiple possible answers. See the puzzle
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

1. abbreviate beaver bait 
Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Y'all should be on the PBAG Tour (Professional Bowl-A-Gram) Remi, please refer to Paragraph 1, Line 5 where it states " However, you can't split your ten letter answer word to make the two words. As an example, if your ten letter (word) worked out to be "forecaster" you can't use "fore" and "caster" as your spare words."

If you can't dance, don't blame the dance floor.

The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.
