MizHoffle
It just means it could be a harder puzzle with so few words
12:13 am
MizHoffle
it lures us into a sense of easiness
12:13 am
MLFAN17
i am out poof
12:14 am
gremlinn
nope, it's pretty easy
12:14 am
VolleymomDee
bottom t grem?
12:15 am
gremlinn
I don't think 42 words really *can* be harder than an average 150-ish one, if you use help.
12:15 am
gremlinn
ti6 /24
12:15 am
MizHoffle
it kinda is, I just realized I am halfway
12:15 am
VolleymomDee
ty very much
12:16 am
MizHoffle
smaller puzzles can be harder when there a lot of unusual letters creating words that don't look real
12:16 am
jillibus
late flip -- all aglow from a wonderful gourmet dinner with a good friend in a newly discovered local restaurant.
12:16 am
VolleymomDee
nbt... no wonder I couldn't see the ti 6 lol
12:16 am
gremlinn
harder per word, maybe, but overall they are almost always quick
12:17 am
MizHoffle
true...
12:17 am
gremlinn
smaller puzzles are usually that way because of bad letters, which generally means shorter words, so you're less likely to see rare (for Boggle) words
12:18 am
gremlinn
but they might be rare for common speech - so I guess the smaller puzzles favor the experienced players, who know most of the 4 and 5 letter words anyway
12:19 am
jillibus
you mean unwords...
12:19 am
meliae
~ fire words ~
12:19 am
gremlinn
I had to make a distinction that "uncommon word" can mean different things if you mean as used by people or as found in Boggle grids
12:20 am
gremlinn
"etna" = common in Boggle, uncommon in speech
12:20 am
jillibus
well done, mel!

6:03 am
herinfernallady
Well I am not even go to do this grid. I am going to go play video games and poke dinner.
6:04 am
Scrabbler
I dove in without looking at the total. 42!
6:05 am
Atalante
good news, scrabs. saw dr and physio today, looked at the mri results. I did rip the ACL and hurt the MCL though didn't rip it. But! MRI shows they are healing perfectly, and I can bend my knee to 60 degrees officially now, and walk around without the brace. Woohooo!
6:06 am
Scrabbler
So no complete ACL tear?
6:07 am
Scrabbler
MCL injuries are usually strains--unusual to have enough force to tear it.
6:07 am
Atalante
it wasn't completely torn, badly torn but not in 2 pieces
6:07 am
Scrabbler
Get + keep those quadriceps strong.
6:08 am
Atalante
I am I am :)
6:09 am
Atalante
it's almost scary to see how shaky the quads are at the moment! But I'm being very good and doing exercises as much as possible
6:09 am
Scrabbler
I have ze4 (zilch). The other Z?
6:10 am
Scrabbler
That is the huge disadvantage of knee immobilizers---muscle weakness/atrophy + tightening.
6:11 am
Atalante
oh yes. I'm just very glad I've got the official go ahead to move around more!!
6:12 am
Scrabbler
Yes, you will only get better.
6:12 am
Atalante
yes! am so grateful
6:16 am
Scrabbler
At 22/20 I must shower and get to the office. Enjoy the day everyone.

11:51 am
Scrabbler
Yay for Maggie + Mom + Dad!
11:51 am
dan2bit

i have 18 left....
5:03 pm
JBV
red, here's some good news: mri showed no evidence of osteomyelitis, which we were afraid of, so it's back to sciatica or maybe arthritis or both -
5:03 pm
JBV
we could write a book - how you know you're getting old, when arthritis is good news
5:03 pm
redturtlehead
that is good news. I had a cortisone injection in my left hip for Bursitis?/siatica 2 years ago, have not had a problem with it since.
5:04 pm
redturtlehead
true...true...
5:04 pm
JBV
glad to hear the cortisone worked for you - hubby has had those - he had a bad reaction to one, two or three more did not relieve pain
5:04 pm
weiik
any body know what "brig g'bye" so I can get the op8
5:05 pm
redturtlehead
Weiik she meant the British GoodBye.
5:06 pm
redturtlehead
I think the cortisone is one of those things, has to be put in just right and then has to sit right. I felt pretty bad afterwards it swelled up like crazy btu then have had no problems.
5:06 pm
redturtlehead
welcome weiik.
5:06 pm
PinnyPoppins
it's actually british slang for 'thank you' not for 'goodbye'

You probably don't need a story of clues with such a ti4/6 grid. However,I have ze4/9 words left and feel compelled to do a story anyway. Once up4/6 a time, there was a person who was addicted to Babble. She would spend an ae4/4 amount of time playing Babble. She would sit at the computer and po 4/5 at the grid for hours.She gets a little nu5/16 if she does not get to babble. Sometimes the game ta5/10 her priorities and chores are often neglected. For the hard grids, she rounds up her monkeys with her re 5/10 & puts them to work. Sometimes the monkeys type madly in va4/7 to find a word & then never gets it.She bakes treats in the ov 4/7 for her monkeys if they help her finish a grid.If her monkeys help her finish a very big grid, she takes them in he land ro 5/16, which has ti 4/4ed windows,to the local ta6/27 to drink with the other monkeys. Now my story is ov 4/7. Now I have to clean up the kitchen and make it ne4/4.Goodnight
