I'm sad. :-( I didn't get to do much of the other puzzle because of internet went out on me! Hope it was fun. looked like it. There were a lot of words.

1:04 am

sheffner1982

haha, i didnt get to do much of the puzzle either, but it was because i was in stupid mode tonight... i only got about 90 words... hope everyone else did better!

2:57 am

sprite

Yesterday's was fun, but this doesn't look too bad either. :)

2:58 am

starchaser

it's interesting so far. . . wish I had some stats. . I have 46/4.33/420 so far.

3:02 am

sprite

Just started, so I have nothing to offer yet (7 words). Sweet grid, though... sweet taste(s) and sweet color(s).

3:06 am

starchaser

hehehe :-p Good Luck.

3:36 am

sprite

46 words and only now found my first biggie. 7/36.

4:12 am

Kukana

50 words but haven't found anything over 6 yet!

4:13 am

sprite

M7/56 (jewish plural)

4:26 am

sprite

Got 100 words now and only those 2 7s I mentioned. Forgot to say that the singular of the M7 is also in the grid: M5/20. It is not a big grid, I think, but I really like it; interesting words.

5:00 am

sprite

Stuck for some time now on
126 words / 4.53 / 1358 points.
That's probably not all, but I'll do a wordcount like yesterday, of the words I found so far. Back later to hunt the ones I missed, with your help!

count so far:
A--11
C--3
E--1
F--9
G--9
H--17
J--1
L--8
M--14
O--1
R--10
S--17
T--22
U--3

Kukana

Herr and Frau are both there but it won't allow either of them!

6:31 am

fit1

the Jewish plural (M7/56 to which Sprite refers is the people who perform ritual circumcisions.

6:48 am

sprite

That's right, fit1. I wasn't sure defs were already welcome, so I kept back a little. :-) Any additions to the list yet?

7:50 am

fit1

Sprite, I am not sure when people start giving definitions. Did I jump the gun? Sometimes I see them right away, and sometimes I just see numerical values. Is there a policy?

7:53 am

periwinkle

I appreciate definitions anytime, it is never too early for me :)

8:01 am

fit1

Well Peri, I really just started the puzzle, and sprites m/7/56 was the first I went to. I am not sure it will be an easy word to find for people not familiar with it.

8:36 am

Treble99

I have C4/8 and C5/18 can anyone help with the 1 I am missing. Thanks

8:43 am

fit1

there is a c4/6

9:52 am

Milly

Sprite, you are only missing an M4 -all your other stats are correct. :)

11:58 am

shanea

any help on the other 7 word? I finally got the m7/56

12:12 pm

sprite

Fit1, I am not sure either. It is just like you say: sometimes there are defs from the start, sometimes just values. When there are few biggies, or at least seem to be, I tend to wait a little longer than when we have something like yesterday, with over 20 7s. :-D
I just wanted to let you know I am happy to share whatever I got, as long as no one thinks it is spoiling the fun.

Milly: thanks! Now off to hunt that M4... won't be easy to find, unless I have been blind this morning. Has someone finished yet, so we would know the final point score? That would be a big help! ;-)

12:14 pm

sprite

Shanea: the other 7 starts S and is worth 36 points. Can't think of a clue that doesn't give away the word, but it would be something like "more snakelike".

12:15 pm

periwinkle

sprite, great clue, got it.

12:19 pm

shanea

wow--if it'd been a snake, it would've bitten me..lol Thanks, sprite!

12:27 pm

sprite

Okay, found it by noodling. Now I see it, I seem to remember we have come across this one before. It is the only M4 worth 9 point and it takes a rather uncommon second letter.

12:28 pm

sprite

Which, for the stats, brings us to
127 words / 4.53 / 1367 points.

12:36 pm

periwinkle

3:02 pm

Treble99

3:22 pm

fit1

I just found the E word by noodling. It has 4 letters, but I haven't an inkling what it means

3:24 pm

sprite

C4/6: a variety of Spanish influenced by Mexican underworld argot with a large admixture of English words, spoken esp. by young Mexican-Americans in cities of the southwestern U.S.

E4/7: Of, relating to, involving, or designed for use in grades 1 to 12; elementary and high-school
