beluga in disguise here. if james is around, in the last game i was trying to turn the word ADMIX into roman numerals, because MDIX is 1509 in roman numerals. it wasn't a lot of points anyway. :)

12:17 am

9:42 am

thebruceburk

gripy is a word??? ......since when

9:46 am

discodave

Bruce, no offence, but I'd rather find the words myself. A clue's fine, but it takes the fun out of it otherwise.
And beluga/nil...sheesh - I think I tried every combination but that one for admix.

9:55 am

thebruceburk

i'm sowwie baby

10:03 am

M&O

What? Atari isn't accepted?

10:09 am

SuperGoddess

that's just wrooong. :P

10:15 am

qu0s

" What? Atari isn't accepted?"

On behalf of my old 2600 console, I feel insulted. Asteroids, Centipede and Dig Dug were the best.

10:17 am

Riz

Don't forget pitfall...that game defined my childhood! heh

10:18 am

runningforhome

Yeah, it made me sad in my heart that it wouldn't accept Atari.

10:20 am

Mrs Often

No, SQUISH!! *That* was the best!

10:22 am

Riz

Tas --> Go Revise. No more Babble for you.

10:23 am

Mrs Often

Poope

10:26 am

Riz

Don't you poope me! You'll thank me when its over :P heheh

I think my head's about to explode...

Magican

Okay, the stats for today:

5 sevens
1 eight
NO nines this time!

4 x-words as far as I can see...

Good luck!

12:15 pm

FFFF

This puzzle sucks! it doesn't accept elvish words (and were is that damn 8 letter word? will we have the solutions?)

12:29 pm

Magican

FFFF - No solutions, but maybe a tiny hint?

'Can anyone teach me how to play this game?'

12:33 pm

FFFF

well
you have to find words in the puzzle
but only with letter touching each other next or diagonal.
when you find a word, you get points and the more you have points, the better vocabulary you have^^
er..aam I clear?
well have a try with "trout"

12:36 pm

Mrs Often

Hahaha what miscommunications.

12:40 pm

FFFF

gah Its hard for a french to find english word!! S'il vous plait the 8 letter one!!!!!!!!

12:41 pm

Mrs Often

Lol
I'm sorry FFFF, I don't have it: I'm Dutch! ;)

12:44 pm

Magican

Miscommunication indeed...

"Can anyone teach me how to play this game?"

12:44 pm

FFFF

lol
its all right how many points for you?

12:48 pm

Mrs Often

39; 4.46; 383 - you?
Trying to figure out Magican's hint

12:50 pm

FFFF

38 4.26 290 :(

well I misunderstood his signature for a question^^
anyway this puzzle is driving me carzy, and that 8 letter word...what if its a joke???

12:54 pm

discodave

No joke, kids. You'll learn something from that boy, mark my words.

12:56 pm

FFFF

mdr! well the "hint" isn"t really helping :( ohh I should have been born brittish!!!

12:58 pm

Mrs Often

Dave- I believe you wholeheartedly.
FFFF- That wouldn't have made much difference. I was born British, raised in English but schooled in Dutch, and I'm err, quite bad at this game!

12:58 pm

Magican

No joke for sure, I've tried it - the 8 word gets you 55 points!

1:00 pm

Mrs Often

Right, now I'll start calculating.

1:01 pm

FFFF

^^ aw that means i'm even worse than you ...God i'm begining to see french words in the puzzle, i'd better go have dinner.
I hope the next one will be easyer!

1:40 pm

4t8

Yay.
Finally ... living next door to New Zealand and knowing some of the names of their wildlife comes in useful.

6:31 pm

sandra

7:02 pm

sapphie

Bugger this puzzle today......just can't get my babble head on at the weekends.

7:27 pm

MasterStrider

This game mocks me..."Yari" is a giant middle eastern pike, but its not there :(

7:41 pm

runningforhome

Has anyone used the x more than once?

7:42 pm

MasterStrider

Yep..

7:43 pm

Alti

Well I've got the 8... but I'm low in numbers still... I guess the 8 was easy cause well... it's what I am. ;)

7:46 pm

MasterStrider

*laughs out loud* @ Atti

7:51 pm

Alti

Ooo lots of music words in this one! And they're actually letting me keep them *dances around*

7:54 pm

Alti

And I'm spent, no more for me today, I'm sure there are more words but I just can't find any... I ended with 65 too... not as high as I would like but higher than I expected... got a second wind there for a few minutes.

9:19 pm

sandra

9:33 pm

Twisted

Tired. Bed now.

9:33 pm

Chippie

I can't believe MasterStrider is back for more...

10:00 pm

nebulously_sheer

Why am I even here?

10:11 pm

seaotter

That stinks that it won't accept xray. Come on already.

10:12 pm

RET

I agree - X RAY is a WORD! Oops, I mean XRAY is a WORD!

10:17 pm

seaotter

I am also seeing atari spelled out twice. How often does that happen?

10:19 pm

RET

519 - too tired - good night

10:20 pm

runningforhome

I'm only one word shy of 70 and I can't for the life of me find a single new word! Bah.

11:30 pm

ladylikebag

omg! i completely forgot i started playing this today so i only have 8 words right now

11:36 pm

MasterStrider

Well Chippie, I just wanted to see if a little RnR helped jog my memory...

11:38 pm

MasterStrider

57 words 4.53 606

I quit.!! Bring on the next one...

11:48 pm

shortseer

What do they mean "not a valid word"!!?? Oh now that's just NOT FAIR. Troat (=make the cry of the rutting buck) is in MY dictionary.
