My fault. I meant.. psoriasis. =)

All I can see everytime I look at the grid today is ...headache LOL!!

1:49 am

CalamityJames

This is my first time. How many points does one normally achieve per game?

1:50 am

CalamityJames

Or how many words.. if points are too personal a thing to discuss.

CalJa, it depends on the puzzle. Some puzzles have tons of words, others don't. I've seen puzzles where the maximum score was 600, I've seen others where the max score was more than 3,000 .... hey, anybody know what the all-time high score on Babble is, and who has it? that might be a fun stat.

2:12 am

CalamityJames

Thanks, ejackg22. This is kind of like Super Boggle. Lots of fun. Very addicting. You get a whole day for each game? That's pretty crazy. Lots of time to think it all through. I can't imagine finding anything more, though. These letters are quite inconvenient.

CalamityJames

Oh, I didn't see your message, flightclub.ws. Yikes, 3,000 points. That's deadly. Do you know what the highest has been?

3:57 am

lalika

meh...sothebys woulds have been great...

4:50 am

derrr

one 7... ugh, anyone got more 7's / 8's / 9's?

5:03 am

discodave

Just the one 7 so far as well

5:33 am

discodave

two 7's now - I'm feeling peckish after getting that one, though. What's good for the munchies?

Now_a_Pumpkin

oooh boytris! talk about raining men ...

crap, now i have the tetris theme stuck in my head

6:28 am

skittledog

88/4.61/1277

still only one 7, but millions of 6s. Losing ability to see words rather than disconnected letters...

6:29 am

Christine

I feel cheated.. I finally find an 8, and it's rejected. Both 4s were OK'd, but joined.... so it's 70/4.63/1053....

6:42 am

standby4sue

6:49 am

Aussie Goddess

11:19 am

cbullock

yeah, boo to the 8 thats not a word

11:26 am

SeattleSky

WooHoo! Have my first 8

11:45 am

kilgrojh

Hey! They let you use profanity. This opens up a whole new game!

11:49 am

CalamityJames

This is truly a mend-bending game. Worse than Super Boggle if you get all day long. I just can't look at this square and see anything, anymore. I suppose it takes practice.

103 words--4.50--1344

11:59 am

beluga

got the 8...90/4.63/1373
must get to work

11:59 am

CalamityJames

Yes, you would have bogied the hole. For some reason, Enable Dictionary disagrees.

12:01 pm

holmes

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but I like how all the letters on my list are words that I've heard of, and can define

12:02 pm

kilgrojh

but it allowed hashish

12:02 pm

kilgrojh

wow! really holmes? all 4 of them? just kidding... :)

12:04 pm

beluga

found a 9, so *really* going back to work at 91/4.68/1475

12:51 pm

K-Dog

didn't anyone else have a "hogie" for lunch..

I have birded many holes in my day..

this is crap - at 979 - just want 1000

12:53 pm

K-Dog

meant to say birded few - "bogied" many..

1:02 pm

pufferfish

The sandwich is a "hoagie".

1:21 pm

maraca

if someone is like an ass, wouldn't they be "assy?"

3:42 pm

refusal

Don't you keep your toys in a toyshed? And call your enemies "asshead"?

3:56 pm

beluga

there's chess but not shogi: oversight or cultural bias?

3:59 pm

Leslie

oh my god i had no idea that "haha" would actually be considered a word!

3:59 pm

K-Dog

what the hell did I have for lunch then.. no wonder I suck at this game.

4:12 pm

Liz

A haha's a kind of hedge (I think it's a hedge with a ditch on one side.)

4:16 pm

Leslie

ha ha-- I was thinking like when something is or is not funny. :)

4:30 pm

Liz

I guess most people would, but the other thing comes up in crosswords a lot (I'm English - cryptic crosswords!)

4:31 pm

CalamityJames

Rr.. I keep reading Triassic, but it's not there.

4:32 pm

Leslie

i would have never known... :)

4:33 pm

Leslie

I keep trying for system and cheshire (like the cat), but neither are there... how annoying, cuz it's all I can see

4:35 pm

Liz

If you click on the question mark next to the words in the list, it'll bring up a dictionary definition (except when it doesn't - I found one yesterday by accident that it couldn't give me a meaning for!)

4:40 pm

Leslie

thanks :)

5:56 pm

CalamityJames

I also keep seeing Cheshire. It's too close!

6:25 pm

Liz

Yes! I found an 8!

6:26 pm

Liz

and a nine!

8:10 pm

joyce

It's shogi.

10:31 pm
