holy crap how many people played yesterday's puzzle?

12:26 am

Ohn

Mostly it was Just Dr Jennings and his Evil Robot Drones. Like me.

12:32 am

Ohn

I count 137.

2:52 am

Assa

Well, this is a much friendlier selection than yesterday!

2:58 am

Assa

Despite coming in a respectable 12th, I have just been indulging my massochistic compulsion to check out the words I missed yesterday.
Very depressing.

What time zone is this clock?

5:25 am

Crabbers

What time is it now?

6:00 am

jm123qwe

according to the timestamps on these messages, this is in greenland or something -- it's one hour *east* of NYC / east coast US.

domissamerica

If you go through the archives to earlier puzzles you can click on over people's names and see what words they got.

DTOX

i love it when you guess something is a word, you're right, and when you click the [?] to look it up its not in the dictionary.

No, its Central time zone, one hour WEST of NYC. In NYC, puzzles end at 1AM, i.e. when its midnight in Chicago

HELLO KIT-KAT, COME IN KIT-KAT...!

10:05 am

10:15 am

silverkat

Can anyone explain to me why "Hyle" and "Hyes" are not permissable?

10:17 am

Crabbers

eh, bonjour bonjour KC, nice haircut!

10:18 am

Crabbers

Likewise, silvercat, can you tell me any good reason why 'geopoke' isn't allowed?

10:19 am

B.B.

I believe "poot" is really a word...

10:30 am

kitcat

Yes, people can "pootle" along in cars, can't they?

10:35 am

Crabbers

superb - my first 9-letter word! But it's not worth as much as a 7-letter one. There's just no love in the world...

10:39 am

Crabbers

Oh, that's ridiculous, totty isn't a word....

10:41 am

Assa

Neither totty nor toty... the ignorance of this word-list astounds me sometimes!

11:31 am

discodave

100 words and the battle of Culloden (1745). I'm not entirely sure that's a good omen, but it'll do for now.

11:37 am

kitcat

90 - a record for me :o)

11:51 am

DTOX

Tesh is so a word.

12:19 pm

hoofmane3030

12:20 pm

uhhhlis

12:23 pm

DTOX

seeth is not a word..

seethe is.

12:24 pm

hoofmane3030

12:27 pm

12:30 pm

hoofmane3030

12:32 pm

holmes

I'm doing pretty well, compared to yesterday [my first]. This must be easier

12:37 pm

uhhhlis

goooood luck :) i am going to be late for class now, thanks to babble. peace out g.

12:39 pm

holmes

knowing that there is a 9-letter word that I haven't found will make any accomplishment on this seem less.

1:08 pm

humbert

129 words / 5.16 / 2131

2:27 pm

Assa

Bah! It won't allow POOER!
Whence does it think poo comes?!
