periwinkle

does anyone have stats?

9:18 am

Ricey

Only just started
must be
well in excess of 2000pts...
dont know how many wrods total yet

9:21 am

periwinkle

sprite, may I have a clue for the D90

9:24 am

periwinkle

and the R/9/54 please

9:27 am

Ricey

the 9s are similar words
try verbs which you want to make because theres no E for the ending, and replace the E with an ending which means 'somebody who does that verb'

9:55 am

TsHMS

is it just my computer that is messed up?

10:15 am

sprite

D9: what makes it go boom
R9: what makes you hear it afterwards

And no, TsHMS, it is not your computer that's messed up, just scroll right until Dr_God removes Matthew's log entries.

10:17 am

sprite

Got 196 words so far, worth a little over 3000 points, so I fear this is a massive grid. Couldn'd find any word using the X. But the 9's are lovely!

10:22 am

keadyj

since when is FREON not a word? Isn't it in my refridgerator?

11:11 am

saamite

Yes, that is kind of strange. All the other funky ones we find here and there... and no one caught to add that to the answers. LOL

11:28 am

Atalante

I'm sure phoresion should be a word - the process of phoresis

11:31 am

onyx

if the r7 for 48 is ok how come the past tense of it is not?

11:31 am

sprite

I agree, Atalante! Sounds great, your word. Can't find any more words... grumble grumble... I'd kill for stats! ;-)

12:08 pm

Ricey

12:08 pm

Wendrie

As there aren't any stats today... does anyone have more that 9 w words?

12:09 pm

sprite

My wordcounts aren't exactly the same as yours. I did a recount, but got the same results as before.
I have :
F13
R44
W9

Your totals add up to 195, I believe.

3:08 pm

Taglos

I can't believe I did that. You are correct, I forgot to update the R and F after I got the final words there, how on earth I got W10 I don't know.

4:25 pm

periwinkle

Is there a clue for the 8 letter word?

4:48 pm

Taglos

The Re8 is a plural of an Re7 which is to counter a rebuke.

11:34 pm

TsHMS

i keep seeing reported

11:38 pm

sprite

"At 03:08 pm Taglos said...
I can't believe I did that."

*lol* You don't want to know how many times I miscounted or forgot to update... creating confusion in my wake!
