Scores for the second set of words:

Next:
Top words: year, week, month, years, day, door

Mary gets 10 points for being in the top 10 entries.

Louise gets 6 points as time was there, but further down the list than you might expect.


Generation:
Top words were new, next, younger, older, third, second, first

Louise gets 6 points for gap, and Mary 4 points for x, which was towards the lower half.

Star:
Top words were pop, hotel, former, rock, film, trek
Louise's guess of movie was just outside the top 10, so she gets 8 points. Mary seemed to get confused and picked up the wrong word. The word was 'star', and trailer was not in the list of collocates. However, she gets 2 bonus points as it did make me laugh.

Total points this round:
Mary - 16
Louise - 20

Doh! That's what comes of reading comments rather that the actual post.
