Managed to get the apostrophe!
Made it all the way to Class 5 Yukon, but didn't quite match your score.
Would have had an extra million if not for the tornado depriving me of the B (probably would have been worth dying to try again to get that letter)
Ended up with 3.2 mil and change.
Wow nice run! Maybe I'm not done yet afterall!
Yeah, you get the first word completed after Mississippi, and can get a second one done by the time the 2nd apostrophe shows up, assuming you snag that damn B.
If I'd cleared the couple of levels to get as far as you, we might have been roughly tied.
So yeah, pull off your same run and spell the word twice, then you're golden.
There MIGHT be a scoring strategy in skipping the first "T", since there are two "T" levels in a row after you'd have otherwise completed the word. If both of those "T"s were after the class letter bonus, then you could (a) collect the 210k bonus, (b) finish the word with the first T, (c) get your 2nd word started with the 2nd T and sitll finish the 2nd word on schedule when the 2nd apostrophe shows up.
Can't remember if those two T's in a row straddle the class change, or not, though.
EDIT TO ADD:
Also, took the level 1 warp just to see what it did, there are 2 sets of 3 1-ups, but you can only pick one or the other. If you get to the end of the level, the shortest distance warp takes you to Yukon Class 2.
I don't think the 3 lives are worth missing the entirety of class 1, but I could be wrong.
