Looks like this puzzle is going to take me awhile to work.

12:23 am

Christine

Thanks, bebelua - I tried that, twice; it was rejected, and I thought I'd dropped a letter or something, tried it a third time. Oh well...
What's with them accepting a word that's not in their dictionary - RENTES - but not words that we know do exist in dictionaries.... oh well, again.

I feel compelled to say that this puzzle truly sucks. I used to play this with family and when we got one like this, we would shake it again.Thats what I want to do now.

fugue... vague... human... jaunt... fount... haunt... mount... hound... and I'm sure there's more, if we could just readjusst this darned grid.
20 minutes, 24 words, 252 points.... not sure it's worth coming back later.... I see only the words that aren't quite there.

This puzzle makes me think we need a list for words we've tried that don't work... sheesh. I think I keep trying the same ones over and over again. Obviously gets me nowhere.
