on yesterdays game (CAKE) I had 'candles' but wasn't awarded the 5 points.Would have got me top spot too.Is this a regular occurence?

This question occur again and again. Sometime, usually with plural, word aren't marked in “Game of Empathy - detail” page. Go to “Past games” page, and you will see exact points for every word.

thank you Elisa–yes I had 'candles' plural and that is in the top ten results.So it's an issue that is known anyway.Fun game
