M&O

spluda? juduty?

9:30 am

discodave

There's at least two 6's and, seeing as there's already a score over 600, probably a couple more somewhere

9:33 am

KissTheFool

There's a 6 that's very sniffy.

9:38 am

KissTheFool

18 words, and I give up.

9:49 am

10:04 am

runningforhome

Is it possible that this is even worse than yesterday's?

11:33 am

cbullock

there's at least five 6's
... and yes, it is worse

11:43 am

M&O

5 sixes!? Is this true, or just a strange form of torture? How many of them are words people actually use in daily life?

11:49 am

anceps

Maximum: 36x4, 17x5 and 5x6, for 656 points.

11:50 am

itzie

I've only got 4 6's, but one I use in daily life, two I am more familiar with because of Latin (most people know at least one of these), and one I am familiar with because of having worked in a hospital.

11:51 am

M&O

I found a 6. Woo hoo! And it's actually a pretty common word.

11:53 am

M&O

I still don't see what's wrong with spludas.

12:26 pm

itzie

I just found my 5th 6. For this one, I'd just recommend picking up a Scrabble dictionary and reading it. I've never heard of this word before.

12:27 pm

cbullock

yeah, a couple years of latin helps on this puzzle
... and if that's actually the maximum, i'm only missing one 4 :)

12:29 pm

itzie

I'm missing 8 4's by that count. I was about to quit, but competitive spirit is getting the best of me...

12:35 pm

cbullock

yeah, i thought i was done, but now that i know it's out there, i can't quit now :)

12:36 pm

itzie

How do we know that's the maximum though? Did anceps just sit there with a dictionary and do the whole puzzle? I must find 59 words!!!

12:58 pm

cbullock

got it.
... i can't believe that was the one word i was missing

3:17 pm

cbullock

would be interested to know if anyone finds #59

4:49 pm

runningforhome

A measly thirty words, 322 points. Only one six. :(

6:10 pm

April

taurus not a word? but WHY???? (me whining)

7:30 pm

itzie

I've got 58 words now too, and the score to match anceps, so I guess we have the same words. MUST find #59. Does anyone have over 58 yet?

7:33 pm

April

can't even imagine getting 30, let alone 59...

8:23 pm

Dustin

i got 2...

9:10 pm

seaotter

I got 30 and I am outta here! Good night!

11:37 pm

4t8

interestingly, itzie i checked a boggle solver hours ago.
yes all, i stopped at 12:29 this morning at 20/205.
just couldn't fathom what else was there, so ran the letters through out of random curiosity (boy did i feel dumb)!
anyway, the point is the solver i looked at ONLY showed 58 possible words. the 59th may be one of those that slip through, and are in no dictionary known to mankind!

11:56 pm

SeattleSky

Addy is too a word! I use it all the time. Hmph!
