Why Does Blurtit It Say Points "Earnt"? Isn't Earn A Regular Verb?

I believe it should be points "earned", not "earnt".

    American English would give you 'earned', while British English tends to use 'earnt". The same is true for 'learn'.

        To earn (third-person singular simple present earns, present participle earning, simple past earned, past participle earned); "earnt" is incorrect
