10:36 am

Atalante

Clue for 9: Are they stopped by policemen?

10:56 am

setting_sun

11:58 am

mellowmasher

used the x twice if thats any help

12:19 pm

majenwen

Got an 8/9
Oddly enough, the terrorist clue helped... thanks

12:21 pm

Christine

Is it some selective glitch - or sexism, hmmm? The board accepted two male gods but rejested Hera.
DiscoDave ... how did I miss that? I had both words, just didn't see the connection.

12:23 pm

FitzyFitz

Yeah, that was the idea - it's a good primer for the 8/9 but is also an (admittedly abstract) clue for the 10

12:26 pm

parker313

Christine, it rejected Thor, if that's any consolation ;)

12:30 pm

markro

159/5.08/2565 and creaking with the strain!

2:31 pm

lawyer-1

4:35 pm

periwinkle

Well I am up to 66 .4.53, 666. Two sevens, a few sixes but mostly 4 and 5's. I don't think I will be finding any 8,9,10 or 11 letter words today.

4:36 pm

periwinkle

I only used the x in one word. Anyone willing to give any clues to finding the others?

4:36 pm

runningforhome

Ahh! One letter short of anesthesia. :(

4:41 pm

Kaetchen

Why do I torture myself with this game? How people find 9s and above is beyond me.

116/4.78/1435

4:42 pm

periwinkle

It is beyond me too. But I do learn new words by checking out the archives.

4:46 pm

HippieMama

At 04:36 pm runningforhome said...

Ahh! One letter short of anesthesia. :(

YES, butttt.. that doesn't mean you can't use any of that word. ;)

4:47 pm

periwinkle

Wow, I just found a 7 letter word for 60 points. My best yet. I have only been playing this addictive game for a few days.

4:49 pm

periwinkle

Just found a second word using the letter x. WooHoo!

4:49 pm

runningforhome

HippieMama - thank you!

periwinkle - how many points is your x-word? If you let me know I can give you a hint for the other one I have.

4:53 pm

periwinkle

It is 48 points

5:00 pm

runningforhome

I have no idea how to describe the meaning of the third x-word (I found it randomly), but it is worth 39, and the end is very similar to the 48-point one.

5:05 pm

periwinkle

runningforhome - could you please tell me how many letters are in that x word. I'd really appreciate it.

5:05 pm

HippieMama

thanks! have all 3 x words now..

5:54 pm

shutterbug

I can't find the 3rd x,boohoo!

Hi Parker313 :)

5:57 pm

cunninghampa

Shutterbug, it rhymes w/ the 6 letter one and has the same # of letters.

6:01 pm

jayferg

I have to stop at 113/1619 but hopefully I can be back before the puzzle closes.

6:04 pm

maraca

anyone else find the 60 point 7?

6:06 pm

Kaetchen

Nope. Hints, maraca?

And thanks, everybody, for hints on the third x-word. Much appreciated!

6:09 pm

Kaetchen

I keep looking for an L to make 'rissoles' - clearly need to go have dinner.

6:09 pm

runningforhome

Alright, I think I've exhausted my brain enough for one day. Time to go for dinner.
