No wonder it took me so long to get the 32 - I've never seen it with that spelling before...

9:12 am

discodave

I've cracked 500 points, but if someone gets more than 800, I'm going to cry.

9:17 am

Atalante

any clues on 6s 7s 32pts .... anything more exciting than 5 letters ....?

9:32 am

discodave

I got the 6 and 7 by accident - add one letter to the 6 to get the 7. As for the 32, if I told you, my god would have to kill you.

10:21 am

Huh

wich REALLY helps if you dont have the six *wink* LOL Mwa Mwa ??

10:32 am

runningforhome

Found the 32... you're right, dave, the spelling is weird.

11:15 am

Huh

Still no sign of the six *pout* cant any possibilities of adding to the 5s :( hmmmm why do we do this ?? LOL

11:21 am

runningforhome

Found another six for 27 points.

11:23 am

runningforhome

A hint: both the sixes and the seven relate to chemistry.

11:24 am

Atalante

Aha! thanks for the clue Dave, I've finally got it! And the spelling is very very odd

1:23 pm

Atalante

59 / 4.36 / 543

3:15 pm

Huh

WAH HOOOO 2 siXes nd a Seven :) :) CHEERS!! THANKS ALOT!!

3:38 pm

periwinkle

Wow! you folks must all be brilliant. So far I have only found 17 words and not one of them is a 6 or 7. Any hints on how to improve?

3:57 pm

Atalante

Well .... spending a *long* time staring inanely at the puzzle always helps. Then find combinations of letters that look useful and work your way round those. I guess that's about my most useful advice :)

4:15 pm

setting_sun

I can never get the damn chemistry ones. I should have paid more attention in chemistry class rather than farting around with rubber bungs.

4:50 pm

sapphie

Hmmm discodave ...i must be feeling particularly thick tonight...cos your clue has gone right over my head :( LOL

4:58 pm

allstar

5:30 pm

periwinkle

How many words are in this puzzle? Is there any way to see a list of all the words in a completed puzzle. It would be a good way to increase my vocabulary. Thanks for the suggestion
Atalante.
