8:28 am

My counts so far (NOT complete!)
13 x A
4 x E
10 x F
8 x i
15 x L
14 x N
7 x O
31 x P
12 x R
9 x T
2 x U
1 x Z

8:29 am

sprite

Thanks Atalante - I really kicked myself when I saw it. Shows that you better not copy a definition... I'll learn from it, promise. ;-)

8:30 am

Milly

I only know how to get the stats from Wordracer and according to that, there are:
129 words
5x7s
14x6s
35x5s
75x4s

8:32 am

sprite

Then I guess there are at least 130 words, because I have 15 6's.
Thanks for the stats, Milly.

8:34 am

Snowmanbob

Any clues for some sixes wouldbe much appreciated

8:40 am

Atalante

I vaguely remember someone just putting the actual word as its definition and getting very embarrassed LOL

8:41 am

sprite

Snowmanbob: think flower, plunder, uncover, insecticide, italian green, terpene liquid, official plantname for the 'live-forever', of a word class, some uncultural self expression, liquid used in perfumes, segment of a gene, time span related, filled with delight or sightlessness. :-D

8:42 am

sprite

@ Atalante: *LOL!*
I feel a little better now...

8:44 am

Snowmanbob

Thanks again Sprite!

8:48 am

sprite

Ricey

Ax13
Ex5
Fx10
Ix8
Lx16
Nx15
Ox8
Px31

Ux2
Zx1
At least 2 more...

8:52 am

sprite

Great, Ricey! As far as I can see, you are only one R short. I need another E, L, N and O, one of each.
That would amount to 130 words in total, wouldn't it?

8:55 am

Ricey

i think i have only 13 sixes..

8:56 am

sprite

How come I always miss words that are perfectly common and obvious? You know, the kind of word that jumps into your face once you found it?

8:57 am

sprite

I have 3 R6's (24, 24, 18).

8:58 am

sprite

Right, I found the missing ones from your list, Ricey. I now have
130 words / 4.62 / 1380 points.

8:59 am

Treble99

I only have 1 6

9:10 am

Ricey

i need an r6 24
i have r6 24; to plunder

9:12 am

sprite

A24, E24, E18, i18, i18, N18, N18, O24, P24, R24, R24, R18, T24, U27, Z45.
The hints are more or less from the bottom up.

9:13 am

sprite

Ricey, you need the italian green. Only the last letter is different from your R24.

9:15 am

Ricey

awesome
cheers Sprite
perhaps the full list could be posted now for all

9:17 am

sprite

Do you have 15 6's now as well?
Then I think you are right: if you have the same points and word average, this should be all.

9:22 am

Mal

Mal

Thanks sprite I'm glad you posted the stats.

9:32 am

sprite

Hi Mal. They are not official stats, just my totals. It seems Ricey and me got the same totals, so we think they should be right. They only differ 1 6-word from the stats Milly posted (wordracer-stats). If someone has more words for any letter or word lenght, please post it!

10:18 am

Christine

Goodmorning, Marianne and y'all...

10:34 am

Mal

Good afternoon Big Sister, its 4.30pm here.

Finished 130 words 4.62 1380.
Yeh!!

11:01 am

Christine

Yay, Marianne... congratulations.
I'll email you, later.
Still trying to enter my list, but it's so s-l-o-w.

1:13 pm

Mal

Christine will speak to you later going out,

2:12 pm

Treble99

3:31 pm

MammaJill

Treble99...
I only have 2 6's so far, an R and a Z.
The R is an insecticide and the Z is a flower. Hope that helps. Do you have any?

3:39 pm

MammaJill
