12:38 am

Q

yeah, i have a couple 8's for 45, but not your 8 for 55.

12:40 am

atljenn

The 8 for 55 also makes a 7 for 36

12:41 am

Atalante

I've got the 8 for 55 too but not the 8 for 75 lol

12:46 am

Christine

I can't access yesterday's lists - can you tell me the Y-words,; I had yodel/s and yins... and amniote/s... found them just before the board closed,....

12:47 am

atljenn

Yodle could end in -el or -le

12:49 am

eyezzz

yoni also

12:49 am

Atalante

from what I can remember ... yodle, yodler, yodles, yodel, yodels, yoni, yirr, and another one

jayferg

yins

12:51 am

ShanV

just found a 7 for 36

12:52 am

eyezzz

How could the word "tels" from yesterday be the Hebrew word for hill? Tel is the hebrew word for hill but "tels" would would mixing the English plural with a Hebrew word. That can't be right.

9:29 am

Kukana

I'm on 130 words, 4.78, 1830 but I haven't found the second 8 for 45 yet. I should think there must be over 200 words in all.

A 6 for 51 points ... an arabic word, heard a lot in the news in the past few years.

12:40 pm

Goat

You know, I really thought that arabic word was spelled differently. I'm glad I tried a spelling alternate to what I've seen in the past.

12:48 pm

onyx

so why won't it take the participants? (of the alternate word?)

12:50 pm

Riff

12:51 pm

jennyb

It won't accept indians but it will accept jews??

Tels is in the Scrabble Players Dictionary. I'm thinking that 'tel' is the Hebrew word in English letters. So I'm guessing that it is grammatically OK to add an 's' to it. But I could be wrong. I don't know too much on the rules for converting charcter languages into English lettering.

1:21 pm

parker313

I got off to a fast start but seem to have fizzled out :-S

periwinkle

I only have two 8 letter words. I know there are more. Are there any 9 letter words?

1:56 pm

boatierra

Indian was not accepted, but it does accepted a person that is from Sweden.

1:58 pm

boatierra

I meant to write, "but it does accept a person..." I tend to type faster than I think. ;)

1:58 pm

Kukana

Yes, but the same word as a person from Sweden is a root vegetable.

2:52 pm

parker313
