hmmm the other thing i though just before, is they mat not update the list for 30 days, or once a month. Which is ridiculous, but...I dunno. I just know that my name didn't appear till a few weeks (two or three) after I started my very first game.
1:07 am

I think my name appeared on the rankings after my 4th or 5th game - but I haven't moved for about a week - I've established roots at 55, so there!
This is moving very slowly today - it took over an hour to enter the wordlist I'd already compiled. But, I do have the four Js, and three 8s, no 9s, but I'll be baaaack.
2:16 am
bazo0ka
i found a 5th "j".. i dont think there are more.. but you never know ;)
2:21 am

The third y.... could be a greek name for John
7:50 am

Hmm...is the spelling correct for the Greek version?
8:01 am

Well, it's not using the greek alphabet ;) but it's written the way it sounds

I have two Y-starters, and I know the third is staring at me, but...
9:09 am

I'm still not sure why the rankings weren't being updated automatically, but I just forced them to update. Hopefully they will continue to update every day from now on without me having to give them a kick in the butt.
9:18 am

ARGH, what I would give for a -ter on this puzzle! :OP

9:42 am

So - Swtbtrcup - this sweet word, does it start with a Y??
9:43 am
Swtbtrcup
Nope its ends with a y.... and starts with an h
9:47 am
Christine
Pooh! I got that one, and I've spent 10minutes looking for this 3rd Y-word... I found a couple of words from Chaucer - didn't expect to recognize them.
9:50 am
Jemper
Let's see (this is weird, giving clues!)...2 of the 3 "Y" words are related (one is 2 letters longer). The third involves a body part.
9:59 am
Christine
I love sharing clues - do it with my sister all the tme. So ... I had the bodypart, and the longer word, but it wouldn't accept the short word, earlier in the nigt - now it does.... let me know if I can help. you, or anyone... this is only a game.
10:00 am
Jemper
Christine ~ I'm so glad you said that! I swear I had tried the shorter version earlier and it hadn't worked for me either. Thought I was going nutty. :oP
10:00 am
Jemper
BTW, my comment about feeling weird about clues came from the fact that I've never had the opportunity before. Usually I'm the one asking for them! ;o)
10:03 am
Clueless
um.. Dr God ?? Enyone ??
Does that mean the Rankings updat were just based on last Puzzle only or all the Previouse ones over the last week or so ??
Hate to think all that Blood swet and tears was for nothing :(

1:43 pm

Hey, Marianne -- how're ya doin', Babe? Just came back 'cos I found two words.
Clueless - as I undestand, the rankings are updated each day, taking your scores for the past 30-days, and figuring the average; but you must play at least three times in that 30-days period for them to include the totals.
If this is incorrect, or incomplete, will someone explain it to us.

6:09 pm

Do you have 2 variations of a word that means to hurry (h words)? I doubt I have something you don't but could be.
6:10 pm

I only have 44 words but I have to go. I need to prepare a presentation for work. Will be back later If I am not too tired. GL all
6:17 pm
bazo0ka
yeah i have the "hurry" words.. i think ive tried every combination i can think of ;) still dont have it.. but i do have an "h" word with a "y" in it..
6:17 pm
bazo0ka
also a couple that refer to your behind ;)
6:19 pm
Krista
Yep, got that one. But still only 20. Have you found these stats to be correct?
6:20 pm
Krista
there are 4 variations meaning to refine...betcha have those too
6:21 pm
bazo0ka
well i have 30.. and if you add up the ones i have according to the stats, it looks to be true.. it just means im missing 3 h words :)
6:22 pm
Krista
there is supposed to be only one "n" word from the bottom - there are more than that - that's what had me curious about the stats - unless I am reading them wrong
6:24 pm
bazo0ka
im not sure about teh refine ones..
6:25 pm
Krista
Used a lot in a sentence like, "He _ _ _ _ _ (sharpened) his skills.
6:25 pm
bazo0ka
with the "n" words and "t" words.. it could possibly be more than one "n" or "t" its coming from.. for example *hope im not spoiling this for anyone* the word "tree" COULD come from teh bottom one.. but the stats just says it comes fomr the top.. since the bottom has 0.. so i think it just bunches them all to the ones most likely to be noticed or something.. you following me here? lol
6:27 pm
Krista
No, that makes perfect sense. Bet that's it.
6:29 pm
Krista
ok, got a second j word - which I thought I tried already...
6:31 pm
bazo0ka
one of the "j"'s is a 6 letter.. which i never would have known to be a word :) but they all have the same 3 letter beginning- so work from there ;)
6:36 pm

Hmm...will try that out more later..can't seem to get it..broke 1,000 so I must attend to my kids for a while...

Only 3x 8's and 7x 7's so far.
Would like to hit 2000 but unlikely at this point.

I'm not very good at big words.
Anyone know if you can buy BABBLE books - puzles - to do by hand? This would be great when travelling

Well you could buy a Boggle set (it's the same grid size isn't it?) but that could get awkward to carry around.
