140/4.86/2123 - finally found that damn 51 pointer.

12:53 pm

M&O

Discouraging news for me, languishing at 68, with nothing higher than a 6. If I could quit my job, I'll bet *then* I'd get great babble scores!

12:54 pm

M&O

68 words, that is; not points. I'm not languishing that much.

2:01 pm

Christine

I found two 7-letters for 52 each, but can't find the 6-letter for 51.
The J word is obviously FIDJAT - pronounced fidget........well, it's all I can see, since I thought that.

2:02 pm

Crooty

Why oh why on earth isn't DIAMETRE valid???

2:05 pm

Mal

Christine
Well aren't you the clever bunny today I have only got 47 words.
Laura has now joined us.

2:06 pm

sam

2:09 pm

Christine

OooOh FRIJAD upper-class pronunciation of frigid..... oh, I'm on a roll now, for unusable words.

2:12 pm

Laura

Christine Please no help, but carry on taking the pills from you loving niece!!!

OK, I just checked my dictionary and it looks like even the English spell it DIAMETER. That's illogical! :-P
