Proposal: Blognomicle

In “Scoring”, replace the bullet “For each word in the title of that Backronym that matches a word in the Buzzwords, increase the Points of the author of that Backronym by 2.” with these two:-

* For each word in the title of that Backronym that includes all the letters of a Buzzword, increase the Points of the author of that Backronym by 1.
* For each word in the title of that Backronym that matches a Buzzword, increase the Points of the author of that Backronym by 3 and remove that word from the Buzzwords.

And replace “If a Backronym is Open and was posted at least 48 hours ago” with:-

If the oldest Open Backronym was posted at least 48 hours ago

In “Buzzwords”, replace “If Buzzwords is an empty list, the Puzzler should secretly randomly select 5 words from the [[EFF Wordlist]] and add the selected words to the Buzzwords.” with:-

A word on the Buzzwords list is known as a Buzzword. If there are fewer than five Buzzwords, the Puzzler should secretly randomly select a word from the [[EFF Wordlist]] and add it to the Buzzwords.

Some letter-based feedback clues on the Buzzwords, and also making them disappear (to be replaced with others) when successfully guessed.
