has anyone been able to use the x for more than one word yet?

5:04 am

Wendrie

r 6/24 & r 7/40

I've not used the x at all yet...

5:06 am

starchaser

would you like a hint?

5:11 am

Wendrie

no thank you - unless it is a u, t, s, r, or p word (I start at the bottom of the alphabet) As I think I've got those letters almost complete.

But thanks again for offering.

5:14 am

starchaser

that's a cool(organized) way to try and figure it out. . NP. anytime.

I have the C7/36, but I need a wee clue to find the 7s for 40 & 44....
So far, 65 for 790, so with my record, there must be about 140 words, right?

7:24 am

granadan

7:41 am

Milly

My husband just got home early from work - the stats below are correct!

9:14 am

Milly

No problem!

9:25 am

fit1

so far I found two words, both C, using the X

9:26 am

fit1

Oh Milly, bless you for clarifying. I've been searching for the bloody C44 forever, and I can't find it. Well, duh..that's cause it isn't there :)

I am missing that darn D/24 word. It's my last D and it's drivin me nuts. Any help?

1:56 pm

starchaser

I'm still stuck on F/7/44, one of the A/6/27, D/6/24, one of those too, and the other F/6/27. :-(:-(:-( I'm getting better at this game, but I still get suck on the big words. lol

2:57 pm

Christine

Starchaser.... I think the words you're missing, all use a double consonant, and the three letters in the upper right corner... now, go to it, kid... get them pesky wurrrds.

3:03 pm

Christine

I too, am missing the D6/24 word... I keep coming back, but it's still not visible to me.
I have C4/13 (using the X), but I can't find the other...

3:17 pm

Atalante

argh I'm really sorry about that 44 fit1 - I must check my posts *before* posting!!!

3:18 pm

Atalante

Christine, the 2 C-X words are anagrams of each other

3:50 pm

fit1

Atalante, don't give it another thought. But if you wanna make it up to me, find me the dern d6/24 :) :)

5:02 pm

Atalante

when / if I find it, I'll let you know!

5:07 pm

Atalante

ok got it - woohoo! Hurray for noodling!

D6/24 - In the direction of the back

5:37 pm

fit1

Is there such a word as dehind, Atalante :)

5:40 pm

fit1

I FOUND IT. YAYYYYYYYYY

5:45 pm

rachels_ratty

Thank you, thank you, thank you Atalante - FOUND THE DARNED THING!!!!

6:04 pm

starchaser

YAY! Finally found A/6/27. . .now to search more for the other ones. They are hiding from me. lol. thanks for the help.

6:39 pm

fit1

Well I have 104 words. The last 7 have eluded me. But that won't stop me from wishing all of you the most happy and healthy of New Years from Noo Joisey

6:50 pm

Atalante

And I'm giving up before even 104 - but copious champagne is not conducive to babbling, I've now discovered. But Happy New Year everyone - may it be peaceful and full of love and happiness for all

7:07 pm

starchaser

Woot!!! I guess that worked. I wrote down a bunch of 7 letter words that started with F down, and just started going through the list, and I finally found the F/7/44!!! :-D:-D Hope everyone has a great new year and gets home safe if you're going out.

8:10 pm

starchaser

I only have 77 :-( I'm still missing the two 6 letters. . D/24 and F/27 :-(:-(
