thanks baggo!
youre our hero!

10:15 am

baggo

no you guys are, i really cheated today...in my own way and read teh chat log before starting. first time ever i have the big ones right off the bat...

10:32 am

baggo

my last note really sounded bad. I didn't want to imply that I cheat, cause I don't, I just knew that my time on here today was limited so I jumped for clues right off the bat...

10:51 am

jan

Baggo, we all have our own private rules for this game. For me, I won't go to dictionaries or online sources till I have 75% of the total. That's my private form of "cheating"...

11:03 am

jen

Just curious... does anyone consider consulting outside sources "cheating?"

11:26 am

markschell

y6/39 Hooray! from earlier...hmmm...got another clue maybe?

11:32 am

ladylycan

thanks for the clues, you guys...of course, that was exactly what I needed...

11:46 am

EvaNadine

mark: hooray! woohoo! yay! yahoo!

11:50 am

tedybeth

I don't consider 'outside sources' cheating -- I try to get as many as I can first -- then check for stats/clues. Finally go to word lists. Sometimes finding just one word triggers a bunch more!!

12:03 pm

roberts1

Thank you for the stats, baggo. If you
used wordracer around 8AM would you please check. Whoever used wordracer
has the bottom i and e switched and the count there only gives 119.

12:15 pm

baggo

roberts, my husband uses teh tangleword solver...it tends to be more reliable.
I don't consider using outside sources as cheating as you are still looking for words and using clues. i too don't go to other sources until i have done as much as i can on my own. defeats the purpose. now if you go to a solver and copy it from there, that's cheating..

12:46 pm

Judi

Okay...Now lets vote for the stupidest word in this puzzle. Hint: starts with a "Y".

12:52 pm

Judi

I think there is only really one "a" word. Can't come up with a second. Any hints? Or were the stats posted earlier incorrect?

12:53 pm

Judi

Whoops. Never mind. I found the other "a". Duh.

12:55 pm

markschell

Hey Judi ...a/5/12...burned or scorched or browned by the sun

12:55 pm

EvaNadine

i havent found either A yet...heh
ive realized im terrible at finding words that start with vowels!

12:57 pm

EvaNadine

heh, thanks to mark i have one of them now!
;)

12:58 pm

baggo

evan the other one is something you would yell to someone on a ship

12:58 pm

EvaNadine

A4! im a dunce!
hehe

1:13 pm

Judi

FINITO! Schwing! Can't believe I finished one.

1:18 pm

EvaNadine

congrats judi!
im 30 words behind you myself...hehe

1:23 pm

roberts1

I apologize to baggo. Just foolishness
on my part. More rest might help. The
count looks great. Thank you for doing them.

3:26 pm

wilson27fan

4:33 pm

fit1

If there are reallly, truly only 120 words in this hyar puzzle, I BE DONE.

4:58 pm

jan

Fit!, if you're still here, do you have the final point total for this layout? TIA

5:13 pm

jan

6:03 pm

floradivine

look how close it is to APTITUDE. darnit!

9:10 pm

Vin

Hmm . . . I thought "apie" meant apiece; but no dice. I guess it is either two words, too archaic, or I was just plain wrong.

10:07 pm

markschell

I cheated. First time...just learned to cheat. Now, I watnt to delete this puzzle on my Rank. Anybody know how? I'd rather do it entirely alone. From now on.
