How can you achieve 1,000,000 points on the nose? Is there point limit within a certain amount of days?

Each puzzle size has a minimum number of points awarded regardless of the number of errors or hints.
3x4: 3
3x5: 7
4x4: 12
4x5: 16
4x6: 30
4x7: 39
So, if you are 100 points away from 1,000,000, there is a nice packing puzzle to determine how to pack the last 100 points with the available minimum point selections shown above.
Example: 2x39 + 16 + 2x3 = 100.
Example: 3x30 + 7 + 3 = 100.
You can have fun with this meta-puzzle by requiring the minimum number of error-loaded puzzles to pack the remaining number line to whatever your goal is.
To get the minimum number of points, you need a well-seasoned puzzle. That is, you need a puzzle that has been solved enough times to get the minimum number of points if you submit the puzzle with tons of errors.
