5:37 am

babbled

5:41 am

any Z words yet?

7:35 am

derrr

i think people who practice zen ought to be called 'zeners.'

7:48 am

Now_a_Pumpkin

i never should have started this puzzle ... pffft!

7:49 am

discodave

At least I'm not going to be over 2000 behind the winner today.Well, when I say winner, I mean the person who found the list of words online. Does anyone else see the point in that?

7:55 am

Now_a_Pumpkin

i don't ... i rather like the feeling of turning my brain into mush trying to FIND words. Or make them up.

8:00 am

jak

no fun to compete with people who cheat

8:01 am

babs

I hear where you're coming from discodave!!

8:01 am

FalconNL

Don't see the point in that either. The whole idea is not using any aids. Though so far I've only managed 19/4.53/198. It's pathetic, I know. What's everyone else scoring?

8:03 am

babs

the high scores from yesterday both had the same number of words but had different scores. hmmmmmm

8:06 am

Now_a_Pumpkin

25 words so far. I made a few up and they got through :-D But seeing as how it's a lovely Saturday evening where I am, I'll probably leave my word count at that.

Oooh wait, I think I found another one!

8:24 am

FalconNL

well, I'll have to find 3 or 4 more then (22 now) :D

8:37 am

ctjoueur

25/4.48/253 so far, but don't see it going much farther...grrrr (emphasis on rrrr!).

8:39 am

derrr

26 / 4.35 / 226 ...how it's humanly possible for any other words to be found in that jumble is beyond me..

8:46 am

murphyz

Dave - you jealous that you can't find the list? :o) Mxx

9:19 am

discodave

Absolutely not - I'd rather find words I actually understand, rather than words I've never heard of and would need to be a molecular biologist to slip into the conversation.
23/4.43/221
I may try and squeeze out a couple more words before throwing in the towel.

9:20 am

murphyz

Dave, your verbosity has also left me stunned. "Bring me a shrubbery" as some would say ;o) Mxx
29 words 4.38 283

Rebecca

realizes that she needs to read the dictionary more - goes off to sulk with her lousy 99 points

9:49 am

discodave

Calling it a day at 31/4.45/309.
Have fun kids.

9:52 am

B.B.

9:55 am

mvuijlst

More Rs I say! :)

9:58 am

FalconNL

27/4.37/250 so i need 5 or more letter words :(

10:34 am

FalconNL

32/4.38/318 now. Does anyone have any higher?

10:38 am

Rebecca

helps to have friends = 33 words 4.36 322

10:40 am

chantilly

yes, 33/4.36/322 :P

10:40 am

Dottie

GRRRR...It could be because I have my period but that advertisement is really annoying and slows things down.

10:50 am

Treeshar

I only have one z word, and I didn't know what it meant until I looked it up.

11:09 am

Rebecca

34 words 4.35 327

11:22 am

Rebecca

ok i'd say there are at least 37 or 38 words in this - as i know someone who is on 35 words with less score than what i have

1:08 pm

7CW

There are at least 42 words in this puzzle.

babs (8:03 am) - There were actually at least 244 words, one was lost during entry. One word was missed on each list, but the one missing from my list was worth less points; that would explain the point discrepancy.

1:36 pm

lil

btw, babs where is this question mark that i just saw you'd mentioned? and i like dictionaries! :D

3:10 pm

Alti

Only had time to do a quick word list this morning and it's not even 6AM yet! Anyway, it's a pitiful attempt, perhaps better luck next time.

Good luck to those of you still going!

3:28 pm
