Could I have some hints for yours j4badger please.

5:00 am

j4badger

The related P6 & P8s are to do with stealing... will try to think of a hint for the N8 but it's not in the dictionary!

5:06 am

carolecs

Thanks for those, some good words. If you click on the question mark next to your word it should come up with a description (in theory) lol.

5:17 am

j4badger

Tried that (and tried the Collins dictionary at www.collins.co.uk/wordexchange/ too) but it just says "no entry found"... hmph!

5:17 am

carolecs

I just found the N/8 75 and you are quite correct about it not being in the dictionary, I can only find Scottish references to it, how on earth did you stumble across that one?

5:19 am

j4badger

Just a silly guess, couldn't believe it when it allowed it! :-)

So many long ones in this one--I've got 20 7's already. I'm terrifed for the stats to come out on this one...

8:22 am

carolecs

I ran this through a solver but had to squint so as not to see, all I can tell you is that there are roughly 248 words and 29 of them are 7 and over, this solver is not always right so take this as a guide until someone does them properly.

8:23 am

baggo

ok here they are

8-6
7-23
6-50
5-73
4-97

249 words

EvaNadine

The D word is a French word meaning last or previous, I think

Quick question - Has anyone ever seen the word 'tarabolism'? It means to be washed in the blood of a bull. I got it from a religious studies class in college. I'm trying to do some web research on it and am coming up with nothing. Anyone else ever seen it?

5:23 pm

boatierra

periwinkle - I just made 'kaler' up. I thought it would be a perfectly useful (albeit non-existent) word. :)

6:01 pm

Mary

Hello all, does anyone have a clue for the K7/68 and K7/48 please?

6:48 pm

onyx

mulher, i have never heard of the word but i brings to mind an old spanish movie that i have seen called viva la muerte , there was some bathing in the blood of a bull in that movie, one of the strongest and controversial movies i've ever seen.

8:22 pm

Mary

HELP! Is anyone playing? I still need a clue for the N8/40 and N8/75 please. I have all the others.
