Wouldn't this do what you want? (of course I didn't use as many
superlatives so it would fit the message width better without
wrapping)
body __RC_B_05 /(?:(?=totally|absolutely|best)\b(\w+)\b.*?){5}/i
body __RC_B_06 /(?:(?=totally|absolutely|best)\b(\w+)\b.*?){6}/i

score RC_B_08 2.0
I missed the original post, so maybe I am missing something, of
course the scores are purely arbitrary, and you would need to
carry the pattern to 10. Doing it this way would allow you to
score on 8 without also scoring on 5, 6 and 7, etc.
