carolecs

2 x no words

5:08 am

periwinkle

Krys10, you are missing:au/6/18

5:11 am

periwinkle

Krys10, maybe you are not missing the au/6/18. That was the first au I found.

5:50 am

j4badger

Bah, it doesn't allow RUGRAT. :-)

6:23 am

Gail

Krys10 - I don't see the two d words on your list.

7:00 am

testing

I think Krys is missing one word starting with each of those letters - A, C, H, N, T. The others she didn't list she probably has all of them.

I'll check mine and see where I can help in a minute.

7:02 am

testing

All I can help with at the moment is that you are missing an NO word of 4 letters.

7:58 am

testing

Krys - You're also missing an AN word.

Periwinkle - Are you sure you have 5 words beginning with AU?

8:39 am

testing

To finish things off, you're missing a CA word, an HA word (probably 6/30) and a TE word.

carolecs- I'm laughing at myself here. I posted the first bit about missing an NO4 word because I totally mdidn't understand your 2 x no words clue. I couldn't understand why you were posting that you didn't have any words, LOL! Too early in the morning I suppose.

Wow. That's the soonest I've ever seen the stats posted. Thanks Krys10.

10:14 am

Krys10

Good morning! and thanks for the help, everyone. I found my last five words - some of them were simple, too.

I finish working right at 10 PM when the puzzle resets, so I see my last client to the door and check out the new puzzle - I like to start with the stats :)

10:27 am

boatierra

So rare for me. My first four words were all six letters long. So for four trys my letters average was 6.0, at 96 points. Oh happy, happy, joy, joy!

10:32 am

Have had the U7/28 for some time, but unable to SEE the U8, which I understand is unrelated. Any clue?

10:14 pm

Bash

I'm only two ahead of ya right now, and it's also the highest percentage of the total I've ever gotten. These things take a certain skill I just don't have. Thanks for the clue - I'll help with anything I can if you have a question, too.
