7:56 am

akaann

does A:11 mean there are 11 words that begin with A ? etc?

7:58 am

Uneaixoise

yes and welcome!

7:58 am

Atalante

yup!

8:06 am

akaann

Thank you for the welcome and I do believe this is going to be a great game !!

8:07 am

akaann

Also , thank you for the help.

8:39 am

akaann

Are the words ever shown??

8:45 am

Uneaixoise

if you click on "yesterday's puzzle," then click on the top player's name--yesterday's was marigold, you'll see the words from the previous day's puzzle--it's posted at midnight (USA)

8:49 am

Uneaixoise

"View yesterday's puzzle" is right above "My Word List"

8:58 am

roberts1

I assume it is Ann? If you wish to look at the answers, the best approximation is to click on "View Yesterday's Puzzle" and then click on one of the leader's names. This will bring up a list of the words they got. Generally they have gotten them all unless the list is really large. If you want today's list you will have to generate it yourself or go to one of the many online solvers. Beware, some of them have different word lists so they may have different answers. Of course, this also ruins the fun if you look at the list. Happy hunting! :)

9:00 am

roberts1

I guess it took me too long to post an answer! Beaten again! Well done, Uneaixoise. :)

9:13 am

akaann

Oh thank you Robers and Uneaixoise. I don't want the anwsers today, just wanted to know what I had missed yesterday. :) Unfortunately, I missed a whole bunch !! :(

9:17 am

roberts1

Don't despair. We all started somewhere. If you look at the lists after each puzzle, you will start to learn a lot of the words that don't come up in conversation or general reading. Also, lots of people use various online tools to help after a certain point. A common one that is mentioned is a2zwordfinder. If you ask, others will probably suggest others.
