10:05 am

4t8

up to 130 1395 but it's like pulling teeth. have at least 1 random word without a definition (??), what gives.

10:30 am

runningforhome

Anyone found an 8? I've got six 7s, but no 8s yet.

10:43 am

discodave

Yup, there is one, but you won't see another for a couple of years...

10:44 am

burns1

There's at least on 8, and 1 9.

11:25 am

Joojamar

How can't I find long words. I already have 97 but none of them longer than 6

11:27 am

domissamerica

damn you, Dave. I wasn't even going to play today...

11:29 am

discodave

Hey - what did I do?
Loads of little words today. The longer ones? There's a hell of a lot of 7's I haven't found yet, apparently.

11:31 am

domissamerica

Well since I knew the 8-letter word before I even looked at the grid I figured I couldn't NOT play.

11:33 am

discodave

Well yes, I may have let something slip there...

11:50 am

nil

delta, GV missed the word "seas"...shows you there's always room for improvement.

12:01 pm

discodave

Two nice round numbers and a migraine for me - 130/4.78/1500

12:20 pm

nil

this one sure has lots of female names, like alice berenice cleo doris francine renee

12:34 pm

sam

dammit, fanclub is sooooooo a word!

2:08 pm

eeeee

in case anyone other than me cares, i'm at 156/4.81/1867. i always struggle with the long ones, only got three 7s and one 8

2:10 pm

runningforhome

137/4.80/1553
Still no 8s though...

2:22 pm

nil

discodave's clue to the 8 letter word is rather *definitive* :)

2:30 pm

domissamerica

If only somebody else felt like being so nice about the 7s... ;)

2:37 pm

runningforhome

Well, one of the sevens has the potential to kill you...

2:40 pm

nil

another one would soothe you

3:02 pm

eeeee

and one may be more likely to get you drunk

4:47 pm

maraca

if something is more binary than the other, wouldn't it be binarier?

4:49 pm

M&O

I don't know which is worse: having clues or not having clues.

5:22 pm

KHDavies

132 / 4.83 / 1581, and I'm struggling. Whatever that 9 letter is, I am not close at all. April - on the clue yesterday - I was aiming at "seasoned" - salty (seasoned) summer (a season) and experienced (seasoned) . Feel free to pepper me with abuse for being obscure. :-)

5:25 pm

eeeee

lol, KH, i found "seasoned" and your clue was so obscure i thought it was for some other word

6:02 pm

ejackg22

101/4.55/976
No 7's, 8's or 9's
Where are they??? May try again later. (Joey)

6:03 pm

runningforhome

eeeee, the same thing happened to me.

6:07 pm

4t8

you might find another 7 aloft in africa, asia, or the mediterranean...

6:29 pm

xena

Hi, are there other players having trouble with the words they punch in showing up slow on the board? It's taking forever to get my words posted.

6:48 pm

nil

SPOILER: EZ clue below:

you'll probably see lots of these in a patisserie...

7:20 pm

runningforhome

Alright, who wants to give a hint on one of the 8s? 10 7s and not an eight-letter word to be found...

7:29 pm

Dustin

thebruceburk is not my friend, he is a fucking fuck with a shitfaced cocksucking fucker fucking witha fuckin sack bag of dog fucking vomit, fck the free world

8:12 pm

April

KHD, I totally got your clue, it was obscure but made perfect sense. For some one like myself that never gets that kind of stuff, I was impressed. BTW, great minds think a like.

8:14 pm

shortseer

@runningforhome10x7s??! sheesh! with that many sevens you dont need any eights.
discodave already gave an exellent clue to an 8-letter word. Mind you (as is usually the case), it is easier to understand the clue if you already have the word ;)

8:50 pm

thebruceburk

if someone would be so kind......does the 8 have to do with outer space?

9:06 pm

nil

about the only thing outer space related is that the earth orbits the sun once a year

9:48 pm

10:48 pm

10:49 pm

ladylikebag

i never realized how many 4 letter words u can make 6 letter words by adding re- b4 the word or -er after the word. and theres a few words that just have er at the end. so many...

10:52 pm

PJKurkoski

11:59 pm

nil

hope you're not even more annoyed when you find out what it was.
