I think this might be a bit much per play. My prop already includes a  
scoring system, whereby each word played in a Zone must build on the  
previous word in that Zone until nobody can come up with anything more  
to play there, at which point whoever played the current word gets  
Amplitude equal to the word's length. Your prop would make that bonus  
seem rather trivial, since getting there would be worth much more than  
arriving.

Also, we need a succint way of expressing the phrase "a point of  
Amplitude". I think I'll propose to call it the Angstrom, unless  
anybody objects.
