Krys10

C7/36 and a related C8/50. I'll get stats...

12:43 am

wilson27fan

I was curious how many more I needed so Hubby checked and said there are 277 words in the puzzle. :))

12:47 am

Krys10

I can't do stats anymore - I don't know if the Tangleword website has changed formatting or it's because I updated my OS, but now I get words in a paragraph instead of a list. Anyone using Sprite's solver who can take a crack at this one?

Alison, are you here?

1:08 am

wilson27fan

Krys10 that site changed it's formatting / on the left of the screen u have to click on my old website to get back to the way it was. :))

alimaya

Hi Alastyr :-)

1:08 am

alimaya

Sounds like you're getting the hang of it :-)

1:09 am

Alastyr

Lol. 68 points so far. I'm getting the hang of this. :P

1:10 am

alimaya

Well done Alastyr - read the rest of the posts - you'll get clues from the others. People like to share here too :-)

1:11 am

alimaya

The stats tell you how many words altogether in today's puzzle and how many words starting with each letter :-)

1:12 am

Alastyr

Ah. I was wondering what those were...

Doogle

Where do the stats come from, if I may so cluelessly ask?

1:48 am

Krys10

O7/28 and O8/40

There are several websites that have solvers for Boggle-style games, and some of us have written scripts that will cull statistics from the solvers without making it too easy to read the words at the same time.

1:52 am

Krys10

O7/28 x2, actually

5:12 am

Atalante

My dearest husband has put together a programme into which you input the boggle grid and it spits out the stats ... he's just testing it at the moment, and we're trying to work out which enable dictionaries to use ... wilson27fan - tanglewood is your site? could you give us some help with the enable stuff - he unpacked the enable download and looked at all the different dictionaries in horror!

Thanks, MammaJill

Doogle: the 2nd D8 is a variation in spelling of the 'plover' one.

The 3rd D8 has to do with a double star figure present in the cell during mitosis; also called amphiaster
