Cottonwoolfairy

Hi, I'm brand new. I don't understand why it tells me that certain words are not in the puzzle - when they are. eg: HATE
Am I missing something?

4:00 am

majenwen

the letters need to be connected, and you can't reuse letters

4:01 am

beluga

you *are* missing something...HAATE is in the puzzle, not HATE, so you're missing an A :)

4:06 am

Kudos to you guys/gals who got over 50 words. My brains tired now. I must rest before it explodes. But, I must say this is a great way to unwind. Good wording to everyone!!!! :)

6:39 pm

bacchae

I think lack of internet connection this past week has robbed me of my ability to play...can't seem to see much other than "woopee" and "poos". Neither of which are valid lol ...

7:15 pm

academiannut

Is there some way to get access to the Enable dictionary?

7:37 pm

runningforhome

38 words... 416 points, only one six-letter word. I suppose that's alright for my first time playing. Disappointing though, since I'm an English major. :p

7:38 pm

academiannut

I quit. 40 words, 416 points, 4.22/word, 2 6-letter words.

This is addictive. Must have dictionary on hand next time.
