Special Weekend Challenge (July 17-21)

by Lura on July 17, 2009

Word Craft - O.W.L. Badge
Word Craft – O.W.L. Badge
Find 200 words between 12 AM PST July 17 and 12AM PST July 21

Originally, this challenge was created to be “Find 100 words” but right before its release, Pogo changed it. What do you make of that? We think it might have been too easy for a ’special’ weekend challenge if it were only 100 words. It should go pretty quick, either way.

This badge and its challenge are pretty self-explanatory, but if you’d like to share your hints or tips on how to earn it, feel free to post a comment below. Thanks!
