6:02 pm

MehNameIsHannah

imma still here, just playing some UNO with meh family

6:09 pm

rururocks

Imma?.. meh?.. are you Italian or something?

6:12 pm

MollyL

Don't forget hai instead of hi

6:15 pm

rururocks

MEH

6:20 pm

MehNameIsHannah

what

6:21 pm

MehNameIsHannah

and imma not italian its just how i say stuff

6:21 pm

MehNameIsHannah

im part irish though ;)

6:24 pm

rururocks

I find it interesting that a kid who is smart enough to play a moderately difficult word game types in such poor English.. but that's just me

6:27 pm

MehNameIsHannah

hey its just me, i have good english, i just like using slang, my slang

6:28 pm

rururocks

uh huh

6:29 pm

MehNameIsHannah

i swear i have good english, fine if you want me to always use good english i will

6:29 pm

THE.MRS

It's not that hard if you list

6:29 pm

MehNameIsHannah

always on here i mean

6:29 pm

THE.MRS

But that's cheating, to an extent. if you're monkeying random letter combonations, its less cheating

6:30 pm

rururocks

good for you the.Mrs.. it is somewhat hard for most players here

6:30 pm

THE.MRS

i mean i list after about 2/3 of the words

6:31 pm

rururocks

it's not cheating really, different players play this game differently. Some never list and don't finish like Pam, some try to go as far as possible without listing, others list from the get-go, and some list half way.. it's all in how someone chooses to play the game.

6:32 pm

THE.MRS

It makes the game easier if you can't finish it with your skill level (and any reasonable amount of time)

6:32 pm

rururocks

it's great that there is a list though or many people would never finish and quit this game... that's for sure

6:33 pm

THE.MRS

I wasn't trying to be judgemental, sorry

6:33 pm

MehNameIsHannah

i get it

6:33 pm

rururocks

I try not to list, until I get stuck. I often finish without the list...however sometimes I'm in a hurry and need to bang it out as soon as possible to get on with my day.. it's all in how one wants to play. I'm ok with all of it

6:34 pm

rururocks

Sometimes for me even with the list, some of the obscure words that are in the grid befuddle me

6:35 pm

THE.MRS

yep

6:35 pm

MollyL

This is not a moderately difficult word game. It is a very difficult word game. Especially for people who don't have an extensive vocabulary.

6:36 pm

THE.MRS

it depends on how you play, as ruru said, if you list it's not as hard as if you don't.

6:37 pm

rururocks

it's not very to me.. but I can see that it is for a lot of people here Molly. Some people like Dart are brainiacs that can bang these out in no time. I just can't imagine how smart some of the people here are who play

6:37 pm

hoyamd

hello all - cheater over here :)

6:38 pm

hoyamd

ut clue please!

6:38 pm

THE.MRS

which?

6:38 pm

MollyL

Womb

6:39 pm

6:39 pm

VIKING

MollyL thanks for your comment. I am disabled and play to keep my brain active. If others cannot accept it...

6:41 pm

hoyamd

FW

6:42 pm

hoyamd

my brain gets all confuzzled with this game. I can get ad8/65 without help but i miss words like su4/8 and et 4/4.

6:42 pm

rururocks

yAAAY.. the cheater finished :D

6:42 pm

hoyamd

:D

6:43 pm

MollyL

Everyone plays their own way, for their own reasons. Some people like to find words on their own. Others seem to want most of the words clued for them.

6:47 pm

MehNameIsHannah

lol

6:54 pm

MehNameIsHannah

back to UNO!

6:58 pm

MehNameIsHannah

back to this
