You earn one point for every day you write at least 250 words, plus one point for every day in your unbroken chain (capped at 30). So, for instance, on day one you'd earn two points (one for writing 250 words, one for establishing a chain of length one), on day two you'd earn three points (one point for 250 words again, plus two points for a chain of length two), and so on. If you miss a day, you drop back to zero.
7
You earn bonus points for writing more words: 250 words = one point, 500 words = two points, 1000 words = three points, 2000 words = four points.
8
You will earn far more points for hitting your daily minimum consistently than from writing in bursts. Someone who hits the minimum every day for a month will write 7,250 words but earn nearly 500 points. Someone who writes 2,000 words every other day will end the month with 30,000 words but only 75 points. Big difference. Consistency is key.

Leveling Up
29
In the transition to the new Google Sheets, your current level probably got scrambled and you'll have to reset it. I've added some extra conditional formatting to assist with this. If you see a green box below your number, congratulations! You need to level up. Add the number in the green box to your current number and the green should reset to neutral (pale blue or yellow). If you see a red box, it means your current level is too high (an artifact of the move). Add the (negative) number in the red box to your current level.

Level 03 = 1,890Thanks to Mark Lindberg for these numbers [at left] showing how many points we need to level-up.
He had them posted over on the FB page but I thought it would be a good idea to put them where people could find them more easily.
