What my partner and I did was work through an object. For example: build a knex model and then don't show it to your partner, do the Write It part, have him try to Do It and then walk him/her through what your scribble means. it helps a lot

note to the builder
Today the Colorado Invatational was today and I was in WIDI. I was the person that built from my partners instructions. My team took gold in the event with recreating the structer perfectly. I find that it helps if the builder reads through the instructions again even after they have the structer done to fine tweak the structer before you state that your done. I did this and me and my partner took gold with a perfect recreation

If she said "attach a L-purple" L would already have to have been defined, right?
The rules state:
Only words and numerals may be used.
The letter "L" is not a word, it is an abbreviation.

There rules have this to say about abbreviations:
All abbreviations (not symbols) must be defined either at the beginning or when the abbreviation is first used.
.My opinion: Since you use "L-Purple" as a term, you should specifically define what "L-Purple" means. e.g.,

L-purple designates the purple objects in the shape of an "L".
You could also just write "ell," which is a word that means L-shaped object and would not require definition.

If you want the most difficult commercial building set to write with, I highly recommend going out to buy a small box of Zoobs. If you and your partner can get a structure of about 20 of those built perfectly within the time limit, you should be ready for national competition.
