Hi all, here's my first post after discovering this site a few days ago. How fitting that I should find the n4 that describes myself (and just about anyone dong this game) just as I am about to quit for the night! Hope I can stop in tomorrow -- just 1005 points, 92 words so far, but there must be a lot more. I'm just loopy tired, and with no stats or hints, I'm not going much further without sleep. Cheers, -- Vin

Ah, you're going to keep me up a little longer to save (some) face -- now 105/1215. But as a newbie, I don't know all those pseudo-words one would never use (or even know, if one didn't play these games) -- so I'm not getting any 173 crap tonight! Kudos to you.

EvaNadine

I am thinking that 173 is correct...I can only find 7 Q words, and I know that many of the solvers out there don't take into account that the q already has a U with it. Since there is another U next to the "Qu," it causes the solvers some confusion...but if someone finds an 8th Q word, I am all ears.
9:13 am
wilson27fan
so u got 8 - q's, Leef?
9:17 am
Gail
I can only find 7 Q words.
9:17 am
leef34
No, I only have 7 Q words...I am saying I don't think there is an 8th.
9:20 am
wilson27fan
ok 7 is correct my hubby checked again and the quai will not work and that was the 8th.So there are 7 q's and 74-4 letter words with 174 total words!
9:23 am
leef34
Are there any other words containing "qua" that would be taken out as well?
9:26 am
wilson27fan
ok and the extra s on hubbys stats is incorrect also they had suqs which would not work either so that would now be 45 S's and total of 173 words :
8-4
7-6
6-38
5-52
4-73
The Qu always throughs us off!!!
9:29 am
wilson27fan
no leef , he said it is only showing 1 qua word and it is the quai he already mentioned.
9:31 am
wilson27fan
so atleast 2 of u have already found the 7 Q letters words right>?Was wondering if hubby needs to check anything else before he takes off.
9:32 am
leef34
Thanks wilson for checking that!
9:33 am
wilson27fan
your welcome leef!! :))

I have all 7 Q's, and I got all nervous when you said there were 8. :)

I have 5 qui's, any hints on the other 2 qu's?
11:53 am
MammaJill
Never mind, I found them. :)

Yeah, Wilson, I agree -- it's amazing how people find every word every day. No doubt some of these people are geniuses, but many must be using something digital as an aid -- which is fine, of course, but not necessarily indicative of genius. I'm actually glad there are people who find every word, because I like to see the breakdowns and hints. Being a mere caveman, I am fairly sure I could NEVER get every word on one of these without the breakdowns and hints provided by the people who do. No digital aids for me, though -- call me John Henry, except that he beat the steam drill and I admit I can't beat a computer.

Boy, just when you think you're a smartass, somebody comes up with a puzzle like this. Thought I was doing great with 84 words...until I saw that was less than half. Now suffering heartbreak of inadequacy. 'pout ' 'sniff '
1:12 pm
Judi
P.S. I feel slightly better since I do have all the "q" words. The e's are killing me though. Only five so far.

8:10 pm
tedybeth
Mary: F8/60 - to bring up, nurture, raise; promote the growth & development of
8:17 pm
Vin
Yes, Mary -- a clue for the F8-60 is that it is the past tense of an F6-27.
8:21 pm
Mary
Thank you both Vin and Tedybeth, got it. I got a late start today, amd working backwards, and just finished the S's. going for the R's. 111 words so far. Too many left, don't think I'll finish tonight.
8:29 pm
roberts1
So, does this mean that you have both the
S8 and U8, Mary? Have any hints?
8:34 pm
tedybeth
roberts1: the U8 doesn't have a definition - but is the opposite of the S6/18 that means a woman who is well-endowed - curvacious
8:40 pm
roberts1
Thank you, tedybeth. I have never heard
of the s6/18.
8:44 pm
Mary
S8/55 Add to the S5/10 & S6/21 meaning full of reason.
8:50 pm
roberts1
Thank you, Mary. I have envisioned
that suffix with almost everything else.
Apparently missed that one.
Down to the N8 of the 8's.
9:00 pm
Mary
Yeah, got the N8/45 just looked it up in the dictionary and it means: clam worm. Never even heard of it before.
9:02 pm
Mary

Gotta quit at 147/1902. Hats off to the 173-ers.
