EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

12:16 am

boatierra

Anybody know any words with six e's? Talk about booco points with that!!

12:17 am

sleeky

damn, where to start with this one!

12:22 am

boatierra

Wish I could make yeti. Just 'cause it would be a cool word get.

12:25 am

horsewings

It won't take jedi

12:28 am

boatierra

Jedi - awesome :)

12:32 am

runningforhome

Got a few sevens, but my best is a six for 42 points.

12:32 am

twinangel

the most e's I've used in one word are three.

12:33 am

twinangel

There's a 6 for 48

12:34 am

boatierra

twinangel - ya beat me, I just got a 6 for 42.

12:49 am

Larry

I've got 2 -6's for 42 each

12:51 am

I got a six for 54.

12:53 am

115/4.68/1506

1:40 am

twinangel

I found a 10 ltr for 91 pts!!

1:43 am

boatierra

Oh now come on! Give us a clue, pretty please, with sugar and a cherry on top?

1:45 am

twinangel

It's a 3 ltr prefix that feminizes a 7 ltr plural word

1:50 am

boatierra

This may seem silly but, are you using the letter L in lower case, or the letter i in upper case?

1:51 am

boatierra

Or maybe I just figured out that 'ltr' means letter. Maybe I should step away from the game for awhile.

1:51 am

twinangel

No. It has an h though

1:52 am

twinangel

seems I can find the 10 ltr one, but I'm stumped on the 8 ltr and the high scoring 7 ltr

2:09 am

undermom

adding one letter to the beginning of the sweet 7 (56) gets the 8

2:11 am

twinangel

If I knew the 7lt 56, that would help. hmmm...keep looking

2:14 am

twinangel

found them!! Thank you!

2:16 am

bulldog

is sweet a clue or an observation?

2:16 am

undermom

you're welcome :)

2:16 am

bulldog

got em.

2:17 am

bulldog

there is a six that is a musical term that means very fast.

2:23 am

twinangel

already had it.

2:25 am

twinangel

It's late and I've totally bested myself, so I'm off to dream land.

2:38 am

Trena

FOUND THE TEN! Woohoo!

2:42 am

Trena

It won't accept Jedi. LOL

2:45 am

sleeky

heh, I just discovered the same thing.

No jedi, no soylent - this dictionary
discriminates against geeks!

3:04 am

Trena

Why won't it take rosey?? lol

3:10 am

bulldog

it's spelled rosy

3:12 am

Trena

...and that's why I suck, people. LOL

3:14 am

bulldog

3:14 am

Trena

Actually, this one has been my try so far.

74 words 4.82 1151

75 words 4.85 1179

3:26 am

boatierra

OK, the only sweet thing I have, is something that vegans won't touch, because technically its an animal product. And, its not enough letters. So if there is some other form of sweetness in this puzzle, I'd really like to know. Plus, I am going crazy trying to find a 10 ltr word with an H in it. Arg!

3:28 am

boatierra

I have 109 words, for 1170. And Trena has only 75 for 1179. My queendom to be able to find words longer than four letters.

4:48 am

Atalante

Got the 10!!! I would *never* have thought of adding those 2 words together without the clues :S

4:57 am

4t8

oh, wow. i just googled for a musical term that means fast (the 6 i have for fast isn't musical, lol) and there are zillions of musical terms here http://www.hearts-ease.org/cgi-bin/termsn.cgi?data=conservatory&letter=a

4:58 am

4t8

*never mind; have it. didn't realize it's musical.

5:15 am

Atalante

5:25 am

4t8

5:36 am

Atalante

6:10 am

4t8

couldn't sleep. found a 7 pt. schedule I(1) drug for 48; it's a plural of a 6.

6:11 am

Kukana

Wow, just hit 1000 points with only 45 words! But I did start with the longest ones.

6:14 am

4t8

bulldog, at least one of your eights are diff. from mine. so there are at least 3 out there.

7:44 am

12:05 pm

Goat

This is my first time playing. I'm at 74, 971. Haven't found anything larger than a 7. I just want to break 1000 and then I'll be happy.

12:27 pm

jlm_mi

mulhermujer - if you're still playing:

That's the right sweet word. You have to add a suffix to make it 7 letters, than add a letter up front to make it 8. :)

12:28 pm

Mal

HI 2HOTT ARE YOU THERE THIS SS HANNAH HERE FROM SKOOL HAVE YOU GOT MORE

12:29 pm

boatierra

4:07 pm

AlyMac

Anyone have the stats for today's game??

4:12 pm

COMFERT

i need a break got a migraine again. good night.

4:13 pm

periwinkle

I have the sweet one. I put a letter in front of it and letter at the end of it. But for the life of me I cannot find the any ten letter word. any more hints. I must have gotten too much sun today.

4:17 pm

AlyMac

periwinkle-
The 10 is not a word I would have ever thought of....more like 2 separate words...
I dunno if that will help??

4:22 pm

boatierra

At 01:45 am twinangel said...
It's a 3 ltr prefix that feminizes a 7 ltr plural word

I'm still trying to figure out that clue for the ten ltr H word. But I'm also focusing on the two seperate words, with the second one ending in S.

4:36 pm

AlyMac

mulhermujer-
Don't focus too much on the first word, it's rather short!

4:57 pm

Mal

Liz I got th 10 & another big one.

5:05 pm

Mal

Christine are you back you have post.

6:02 pm

marigold

Perwinkle I GOT THE 10 LETTER WORD
My first big word Yea!

6:06 pm

liz

got the 10 at last never heard of it

6:07 pm

periwinkle

Winner, Can you give me a hint or send me an e-mail, please. I can't find it.

6:10 pm

periwinkle

Winner, Never mind. I fouind the 10 letter word that starts with h and ends with s. Never would have thought that was a word. Yea!

6:26 pm

periwinkle

How many words are in this puzzle. Are there really two 10 letter words? I found one. My first ever!

6:47 pm

periwinkle

Winner, I have 129 word, 1840. What do you have so far?

6:51 pm

periwinkle

130 , 4.75, 1848. Best game ever for me. I am tired. Good night all.

7:56 pm

twinangel

What's the clue for the 2nd 10 ltr word??

8:31 pm

bulldog

I can't believe there is a second ten letter word.

8:32 pm

runningforhome

I really doubt there is...

8:32 pm

twinangel

Ok. Any hints on some 8 lts words?

8:32 pm

twinangel

or some 7 ltr?

8:36 pm

runningforhome

I have two eights. The first one you might recognize if you've read Catcher in the Rye (it's a much-used word of Holden's), and the second applies to some buildings, especially of the office variety.

8:36 pm

boatierra

The only two 7's I have are the sweet one and the one you sit on.

8:42 pm

twinangel

thnks. Had the first one and found the 2nd.

8:44 pm

twinangel

If your have the 10 ltr word then you have one 7 ltr. The 2nd 7 ltr is past tense.

8:45 pm

boatierra

I'm so excited. I actually gave a clue that helped someone. Coolness.

8:45 pm

twinangel

Past tense may not be the right, but it's the same suffix used in past tense a lot.

8:47 pm

twinangel

Hmmm...have 5 7's, any clues for more of them?

8:49 pm

boatierra

Got the 10 ltr H. My mom would be so proud. I was raised with that kind of lingo (during the 80's), and she would be so impressed that it has made its way into a dictionary, let alone a word accepted by an online word game.

8:55 pm

boatierra

Best game for me too, 122 words, for 1637. Wow. I've worked really hard at this one. I'm gonna try for 130. But if I don't get there, no big deal.

8:57 pm

Kokopli

DAMN

8:57 pm

Kokopli

This 10 letter one is driving me mad

9:04 pm

dimwit

Hi all, I have three 7s but cannot get the one you sit on. Any more clues ? No seat I can think of fits!

9:09 pm

boatierra

I can't find the etymology of the 7 ltr sit word, but what you sit on is small (as opposed to something large). I know that that may not help much, but any other clue will just give it away.

9:10 pm

runningforhome

Bah, I'd really like to make 2000 but I don't think it's going to happen.
133/4.74/1872

9:13 pm

dimwit

mmmmm... actually just found a 6 letter largeish item you sit on, but although it was accepted I do't think it truly runs properly with the letters on the board !
Well I can't see it anyhow - ah well, the points are the thing!

9:14 pm

marigold

Oh wow I have 142 4.70 1904. This is my best game every

9:15 pm

dimwit

forget that, just seen the way it can be done ! still working on that 7!

9:19 pm

horsewings

The 7 you sit on is plural

9:23 pm

dimwit

Ah, silly me, the plural of my 6 seat !

Thanks!

9:28 pm

boatierra

Na, I'm done at 122. Time to go do something else. 'Nites.

9:45 pm

bulldog

167 words 4.71 2301

10:16 pm

bulldog

I'm a clarinet player and this the the third time that during a puzzle the last word I found is the very thing I spend my time with.

10:26 pm

Krista

and they taste yucky

11:10 pm

maraca

i totally got the 10 just out of pure guess. i'm so glad it's actually a word now.
