anyone here have the OE words?

12:27 pm

sammysmom

Its Walter. To me this game just gets dumber. It used to be fun. I know I dont have to play it with my mom. But I used to like it. No way in hell can you spell these foreign words anymore without help!!!

12:27 pm

penquis

true...they are annoying....

12:27 pm

sammysmom

yep

12:27 pm

penquis

12:38 pm

sammysmom

Ty Molly.

12:40 pm

sammysmom

I know how to spell. But I was never tought any of this crap! lol

12:54 pm

MollyL

A word game trying to find impossible, seldom used words, loses its appeal.

12:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

to me it's the same as it always was.

12:57 pm

sammysmom

Yes Molly......

1:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

If I don't worry about finishing the grid, but just play for amusement and to learn a few words than it's fun. As a perfectionist game it's never been fun.

1:01 pm

sammysmom

Tell my 83 year old mom that....
