gremlinn

good letters but sometimes the lack of variety hurts what could have been about a 400 or 500 word board

justafreep

40% of the board is e and r

12:25 am

justafreep

12:27 am

12:38 am

mkg

Got it. Ty for super clue cherlyq. That did it. Sorryt to be so slow.

12:39 am

mkg

Never saw or heard of that word. Hmmm

12:39 am

cherlyq

yeah have a feeling its an older term

12:39 am

gremlinn

it's sort of related to the word you get without the de-, but not in the usual way that de- works

12:40 am

gremlinn

I think the shorter word is even less common

12:41 am

cherlyq

well headed to bed will do the rest tomorrow got to say 162 left feels ok

12:41 am

dizgrannie
