If the dictionary were written by a Bostonian, that Z might have a use.

Question for Cbullock:

DUring yesterday's puzzle you said:
"... and there's at least two 9-letter words"

I spent half the night looking for that second 9-ltr word! But today i noticed that you didn't get the second 9-ltr word either (nor did the top 3 scorers).
What led you to believe there WAS a second 9-ltr word???
Just curious....
(if anything, you led me to a higher score cuz I just kept looking....and looking...and looking....)

on the subject of santa...

anyone else notice that the only proper nouns it takes are biblical? kind of creepy.

Actually, it accepts proper Greek gods, too...at least a couple of them...

Would "hamicide" be pig-murder? :P

Dr_God

I would just like to welcome all the new Babblers that have joined in the past few days!

I would also like to let all the new Babblers know of my omnipotent surgical powers. If I find cheaters, I will do my best to rid the site of their cancer. I've had to perform a few "operations" already, unfortunately.

Doing my best Nancy Reagan impression: "Say no to cheating, kids!"

Thank you, Dr_God! I knew you were watching!

Oooh. What sorts of things have you expelled people for?

10:10 am

silverkat

Does using a dictionary to check if words are words count as cheating?

10:18 am

Assa

Ah, sod it. 800-ish, but I'm never going to get near to 1000.

Dr. God, can you tell me how to cheat? Thanks.
PS - I've always liked your work, you know, creation and stuff. Good stuff
