It was "jadish".

1:14 am

itzie

I'm surprised that "ugli" as in the fruit isn't acceptable. It works all the time in crosswords!

1:46 am

sapphie

Now Rodders don't over do it today, you know that any more than one lesson a day and you can't cope.

6:50 am

lawyer-1

6:51 am

Crooty

Almost FIGUGEGL!

6:56 am

M&O

Best word: 56 pts.
Every letter but 'U' begins a word.
-----------------------------------------

7:06 am

Crooty

I've been playing for about a week, and so far I've seen Tolkein, Frodo, Elf, Gamegie... :-D
Thanks Anceps!

7:06 am

Crooty

Tolkien, that is.

7:07 am

Crooty

Oops, sorry Gamegie is the French translation. OK I'll stop flooding now. :-/

7:11 am

anceps

Max of yesterday wasn't correct, and so may it be for other days: 'email' and 'emails' are in my ENABLE list of words, and therefore were counted for the max, but those words weren't accepted by babble. I don't know if my list is newer than the one used by babble :-(

7:17 am

shortseer

"Max of yesterday wasn't correct"
Heh.
A slight discrepancy doesn't really impact when one is a looong way short of the max possible.
But it is very nice to know what to aim for.

8:55 am

Crooty

Shortseer? As in opposite of Farseer?

9:03 am

shortseer

not so much opposite ... just not as skilled as the farseers
- myopia

9:06 am

M&O

There's a Robin Hobb character today

9:09 am

shortseer

yes
12 points!

11:07 am

discodave

Damn. I started off so well, but now the flow of words has slowed to a trickle.
84/4.79/1240

12:13 pm

Crooty

Silly me... I was searching for Fitz... no. Galen... no. Then I realised I'd found it and thought of the character when I added the word. Lalala.

2:52 pm

Christine

In our family, a huggle is more than a hug, but less than a cuddle!
Oh, and GUGGLE is a flock of geese with a cold.

3:02 pm

Mal

Thanks Christine now everyone thinks we are all nutters in our family

3:05 pm

Christine
