There are 167 words. Sorry, I don't know how to do full stats without cheating. :p

tourmalinity

Hint for the last 8? I've got l8/55x2, l840, x8/90

12:29 pm

runningforhome

It's an i8/50. Really stupid word.

12:32 pm

runningforhome

Also, I hadn't refreshed the log when I posted the word count. So, sorry for that. I'm not fully stupid, just slightly. ;)

1:35 pm

testing

I have L/7/40, N/7/40 x 2, R/7/28 (not the bury again one) and U/7/28 not yet mentioned.

Any clues on the F/7/40 that has no definition? I'm running out of ideas on where to look for that one. There aren't too many combos that would work, but so far none have.

2:11 pm

testing

Nevermind, found it. It's a ballet move.

That's worth 40.

The other 55 is

3:44 pm

Oh, and the point value was extremely helpful in finding the i8.

5:57 pm

periwinkle

May I have a hint for the x/8/90 please?

6:40 pm

Michelle

Testing, you are listing 21 7-letter words, but Ste's stats say there are only 19. Which are the incorrect ones?

6:48 pm

testing

Sorry, I must have gotten distracted while typing them. I put in too many Ns. They should go 28, 40, 28, 28, 40.

7:10 pm

runningforhome

periwinkle, the x/8/90 adds a three-letter combo onto the front of a t/5/16.

7:23 pm

Michelle

Thanks for the clarification!

7:26 pm

periwinkle

Is there more than one t/5/16. Not sure I have the correct one.

7:39 pm

runningforhome

I don't have all the ts, but the t/5/16 I used is the third one on the list. Starts with th.

7:42 pm

periwinkle

runningforhome, that is not the one I have. May I please have a clue for your t//5/16?

7:48 pm

periwinkle

I now have two t/5/16 but still can't figure out that x/8/90 :(

7:50 pm

periwinkle

Is the correct t/5/16 the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet?

8:00 pm

periwinkle

woo hoo, found the x/8/90! Thanks runningfor home.

9:59 pm

hellorady

I can't find that x/8/90 for the life of me... I feel like i've tried every 3 letter combo starting with x possible. *sigh*

10:08 pm

metags

if it helps, for the X8 the first part (5 letters) is derived from the Greek for yellow, and is used in quite a few other words
