HOW TO PLAY FOR PRIZES:
Visit www.meadfivestar.com and click on the "Vocabularious" banner to participate. To register and play for prizes, click on the "Register" link in the upper right hand corner of the home page and enter the information requested to create a log-in and password. Limit: One (1) registration per person, regardless of email address used. All registered eligible Participants will automatically be grouped by age into one of the following three "Age Groups" for purposes of having a level playing field: (1) 13–14 years of age; (2) 15–17 years of age and (3) 18 years of age and older. Participants will only play against participants in their own Age Group. Participants are only permitted to play for prizes once (1) per Daily Contest, regardless of whether a score is submitted, but may play in the practice area of the Web site without logging in or registering. When Participant is ready to play for prizes, they must click on the "Start" button to reveal the Daily Contest word/phrase puzzle and category clue (such as Person, Place, Mead®, Chore, Animal, etc.). The Time Clock will start immediately. The object of the game is to correctly solve the puzzle and type the answer in the "Enter Answer" section of the game play area in the fastest time. The puzzle will consist of a word or phrase with some of the letters visible and some letters blank. Participants who need help in solving the puzzle may click on the blank letter spots to reveal missing letters. For each blank letter that is revealed, a time penalty will be assessed, negatively impacting the participant's overall score as recorded by the Time Clock. Participant may click on each missing letter until they have revealed all except one letter. A time penalty will be assessed for every letter revealed. When the Participant has correctly entered the word or phrase, the total score as recorded and displayed by the Time Clock will be submitted for entry. There is no time penalty for guessing incorrectly; however, if a participant enters incorrect answers three (3) times, the game will end and no score will be submitted for that play. If the Participant's score as displayed on the Time Clock reaches a maximum time of (5) minutes without the correct word or phrase having been entered, the game will end and no score will be submitted for that play. There will be one (1) Daily Contest prizewinner from each Age Group. The winner (subject to verification) of the Daily Prize in each Age Group will be the Participant who correctly entered the puzzle answer in the fastest time including any time penalties assessed, as recorded by the Time Clock.

4. SCORING: The Time Clock will record the overall time it takes the participant to solve the puzzle, including all time penalties for revealing blank letters. Time penalties are automatically reflected on the Time Clock during game play and will be imposed for each blank letter revealed. Each puzzle will consist of a single word or phrase that ranges in length from 6 to 27 letters. Each day's Daily Contest puzzles will be proportional in length and level of difficulty. Participants can reveal all but one (1) of the blank letters during the game; however, each blank letter that is revealed will result in a time penalty. Each puzzle will have a maximum time penalty of 20 seconds which is divided equally across the total number of blank letters that can be revealed during the game play. By way of example only, if there are 11 blank letters in the puzzle, the participant can reveal up to 10 of the blank letters for a penalty of 2 seconds per letter revealed. The score submitted for entry into the Daily Contest is total time taken to solve the puzzle (including time penalties) as recorded by Sponsor's Time Clock. The player in each Age Group who correctly solves the puzzle in the fastest time as determined by the Time Clock will be the winner. In the event of a tie, the winner will be the participant who had the fewest number of guesses used to solve the puzzle. If a tie still remains, the winner will be the participant who had the greatest amount of time on their Time Clock prior to requesting their first letter reveal. In the event a tie still remains, the participants who are tied will each receive a Five Star Advance notebook and will be invited to create an original essay (50) words or less explaining "Why it's fun to play Vocabularious." The essay will be judged on creativity and originality. By submitting an original essay, entrants agree that they irrevocably assign and transfer to the Sponsor any and all rights, title and interest in their essay, including, without limitation, all copyrights and other intellectual property rights and further agree that Sponsor may use such essays without additional compensation in all media now or hereafter known. The winner of the tiebreaker will receive a Daily Prize.
