12:19 am

bulldog

Hey let me apologize for ryan, I gave him a buise on his shoulder for swearing a couple of days ago. Great kid usually.

12:20 am

fixitfmly

oh, I gotta get in bed or the kids will rule the house tomorrow . . . there are so many words in this puzzle I've already beaten yesterday's score!

12:21 am

runningforhome

INTERNET, not a valid word? I am outraged.

(I know it's a proper noun, and I also know I just gave a way a word or two, if you look closely.)

12:22 am

boatierra

Thanks, I appreciate it. I later realized that in my inital kidding comment of "Sure, that's what they all say," that he might have taken 'they' as not a very good 'they.' And the 'they' I meant was just anyone. So I can understand why he may have taken it all the wrong way. My bad :)

12:24 am

bulldog

Yeah he is still mad at me for scaring him and his bumping his head. I feel terrible about it but I can't rewind time.

12:27 am

Hi, Marianne - so many words... such sloooow fingers trying to type them into my list.

1:40 am

1:57 am

bulldog

he's probably at his moms house where he spends his time on ist person shooters.

2:02 am

Christine

What's a first person shooter??

2:04 am

lawyer-1

Fear not, bull, I am still here. Just a bit frustrated over scoring here. I was 3rd. 2 others got the same point total as me, yet they each passed me. So, now I am 4th. Perhaps if I knew the rhyme or reason behind it, I would understand.

2:10 am

nat

How is it that we play this game on the internet, yet the game will not take it as a word?

2:15 am

Judith

Good morning Christine and Marianne. Dont have time to play the game but love reading all the comments. Some day..

2:15 am

bulldog

As i said yesterday I didn't play for a week and I moved up eighty places. I really think that the total amount of points has a bearing. So if you score 2000 points out of 4000 it is actually better than scoring 1000 points out of 1000. i actually have set up another account that I only use when I score over 3000 points. I play as bulldog and then copy over the words into my other name. I have only done it twice so I don't know if it works yet. ;)

2:15 am

Judith

Good morning Christine and Marianne. Dont have time to play the game but love reading all the comments. Some day..

2:16 am

bulldog

It is a total pain, but it would be worth it I'll prpbably have to do it today.218 words 4.95 2923

3:34 am

jlm_mi

Up with insomnia . . .

Don't have the 10 yet, but with 180/2284 I'm off to try to sleep again.

I have 3 words beginning with z, 2 for 28 points. 4 others that contain z, including one for 34.

Found the 9 mentioned below, and 3 8's worth 50 each. Also 10 7's.

And, there are at least two elements. :)

I'm sure by the time I'm back in the morning many will have broken 3000.

4:06 am

bulldog

As fo why Internet is not accepted it is a proper noun. you don't internet anything, you use THE internet. Remember Al Gore invented it. I need help with the nine.

4:07 am

bulldog

It has a p in it that is all i know

4:14 am

bulldog

got it and the eight too :)

4:19 am

moody_mage

have another 9 for 54

4:20 am

bulldog

gimme a hint I need one more point before I go to bed

4:24 am

moody_mage

begins with the a halfway the first column, second letter is n and it is a plural

4:26 am

moody_mage

and if you get it you can find at least another 2 words easy :)

4:27 am

bulldog

thanks and while I work you should look for a seven that starts with a pen and rhymes with spinster, I don't even think it is a real word but it's worth 36

4:29 am

bulldog

Thanks I had the root word already and it is similiar to the nine in that you could use in in the context, religious

4:30 am

jlm_mi

Actually, you can get 3 more words out of the 9 for 54. :)

Have just found another 8 for 50, and one for 55. Both are plurals.

Not sure if I have the 7 mentioned here by bulldog, but will look into it.

4:30 am

bulldog

But seriously I can stands no more
283 words 5.07 4093

4:30 am

Mrs Often

Please don't give away words like that, it spoils it

4:36 am

bulldog

crikeys the word I gave away is defined as a common misspelling. It isn't even a word. unlike pfft. which is the onomatopoeia of the expression I just gave you.

4:37 am

bulldog

and Tasmin if you are so worried about people giving away words. hide the log

4:39 am

Mrs Often

No, I like reading the comments thanks. I like to know there are long words I don't yet have.

4:50 am

moody_mage

whats the highest scoring but shortest word count?

I have a 4 worth 19

4:56 am

Mrs Often

I have 4 for 19 too

5:16 am

jlm_mi

I have a 5 for 34.

5:33 am

jlm_mi

According to dictionary.com internet is both a proper noun and just a regular noun (improper noun???). They use this sentence:

The Internet is the largest
internet (with a small "i") in the world.

It has both versions of internet in it. Keep in mind that because you use THE something only makes it a noun, not a proper noun. ;) I use THE keyboard to input my words, but that's just a regular ol' noun.

Still, there are many words the enable dictionary should take and doesn't. Guess this is just another one.

5:33 am

7:41 am

moody_mage

I WILL break the 3000 mark :)

7:48 am

ConXshun

yeah - gets in the way a bit, work does, eh?

7:50 am

jlm_mi

Good one danielse!

moody_mage - I don't think I'll ever catch up to your big words! I have many more words than you, but not many more points. And you keep finding more before I can find the ones you've already posted about.

These 8s for 40 are tough! I've found thereligious one hinted at below, but that's it.

7:52 am

moody_mage

you just have to have the 'guts' to look for them ;)

8:05 am

Essentia

This truly is a great day. First time I got over 1000 points. Yay to me. :)

8:06 am

jlm_mi

I keep wanting to see nostril.

8:24 am

hihi got a peanuts hero and just learnt the meaning of its name^^

8:47 am

fixitfmly

you can almost make 'rhinestone'

8:57 am

jlm_mi

Categories: Some of these are pretty loose, and certainly some of the words have meanings outside their category.

Animals, including the cartoon dog :) - 10 plus 3 plurals (13 total)

Chemistry - 3 plus 2 plurals (5 total)

Music - 7 + 2 plurals (9 total)

Food - 8 + 1 plural (9 total)

8:58 am

jlm_mi

Oops - Just found another musical term and its plural.

8:58 am

Atalante

*sigh* I've been trying to find the a-n- 9 letter word for ages, and suddenly realised I've already got it

9:18 am

marigold

is the 9 letter word that start AN is it animal, vegetable or mineral

9:22 am

jlm_mi

human animal

Its root word is a 6 for 18. You can add a suffix to get an 8, then pluralize to get the 9. You can also pluralize the root word to get a 7.

9:52 am

jlm_mi

Found a 5th 8 for 50 points.

9:59 am

mellowmasher

Have 6 x 8 one for 40 four for 50 and one 55 if thats any help 200/3006

10:03 am

jlm_mi

So far, the 8s that have been listed are 4x40, 5x50, 1x55. If anyone's got more, I'd love to hear about them! I'm guessing there are more out there.

10:05 am

moody_mage

ronin is a word!!! damned dictonary...

10:09 am

lawyer-1

There are 11 8-letter words, so you are missing one.

10:10 am

jlm_mi

Thanks lawyer-1. Do you know what point value?

10:11 am

lawyer-1

Can't help you with point value. I should have said that I have 11. Perhaps there could be more.

10:14 am

moody_mage

i have 4x 40 6x50 & 1x55 for 8 letters

10:20 am

moody_mage

LOL!! a perfect set to finish on!! 3 words revolving around the blue movie trade

10:24 am

jlm_mi

mage - There are actually 5 words in that series, including one for 7 letters, if it's the one I'm thinking of. Are you British? Had to look up "blue movie trade" on yahoo.co.uk to understand what you meant!

10:28 am

moody_mage

Yep I think I have all 5 of those now and yes I'm British. Explains why I'm doing this instead of working ;)

10:30 am

runningforhome

...what's the blue movie trade?

10:30 am

moody_mage

Okay, time to call it a day
205 words - 5.32 - 3623

Maybe tomorrow?

10:32 am

Larry

wow....been plaing this for a few days...got my first 8 letter word!

10:36 am

runningforhome

Iget excited every time I find this Final Fantasy X-related word, even though it doesn't mean what it did in the game.

(Don't exert yourself, it's only a 4/5 letter word.)

10:42 am

jlm_mi

Apparently "blue movies" are adult movies in the UK.

10:45 am

jlm_mi

Wow moody_mage! With 40 fewer words than me you've got 12 MORE points! You must have ended up with lots of 6 and 7 letter words as well as the 11 8s and 2 9s. Good work!

10:48 am

lawyer-1

jlm....bulldog already has in excess of 4,000 points. You need to try harder!

10:50 am

jlm_mi

Oh, I know I'm still pretty behind on points, LOL! I'm just amazed at how many more high point words there are. Seems that probably bulldog doesn't even have them all. ;)

11:11 am

Riff

does anyone have the 6 for 24 gland?

11:16 am

jlm_mi

4:20 pm

Christine

No, Ryan, this is not Sister Christine but your new 'auntie', who misses having a child to boss....
In a moment's madness, I cleared my desk, and no longe have yesteday's paper..I use a browser, and can't access the previous days figures... but I think I didn't do too well, by the time I got home, it was almost time to change the grid... but then, of course, I found a gazillion words, when it was too late to enter them.

4:22 pm

Christine

Oh, found the paper, still in the wastebasket.... apparently only about 65 words for 693

4:39 pm

parker313

I have 12 As...

...but other than that, you have way more than me for every letter (except I do have the 2 Ys.

5:23 pm

Christine

Tolinya -- if you sign-in, won't it affect you overall ratings, even if you don't enter any words, since the rating is the mean aveage for the past 30 days??? Sometimes I look at the grid, amd decide not to sign-in.
Remember, if you cant say something nice (ie.enter some words) say nothing??

5:25 pm

parker313

Christine - That might account for why my ratings plummetted while I was gone... There were a couple of days right before I left that I checked in, posted something or other and then didn't enter any words.

7:45 pm

parker313

Oh, speaking of rank, I found out why I dropped 40 places while I was gone. My husband was home for a couple of days and he logged on and just played for a little while b/c he thought that anything he could score for me would be better than a Zero.

Men :-P Just kidding!

I thanked him for thinking of my scores and then explained how the scoring and ranks work. It was pretty funny!

7:50 pm

anniem

one of the nines is what you might call those who ask for forgiveness

8:59 pm

Christine

Nekoyasha - I can only hope you're refering to National Associaton of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes -- because even to consider the alternate is, frankly, sickening to me.
I've a warped sense of humor on a lot of things, but....

9:00 pm

ryan

9:02 pm

ryan

Thanks, I was just going back down through the log and writing all the clues down I could find!

I have the 2 8s associated with the 9s and the animal, am still working on the other clues!

I know, I can just see me getting to the 200 mark and then just being a few points shy of 3000...

Of course it is also almost midnight here!! This game is bad for my sleep!

10:45 pm

jayferg

It is bad for my sleep too. They end at 10pm for me which is fine but then I want to get a head start on the new one and stay up too late and get none of my other "hobbies" done.

10:49 pm

jayferg

Just found a flower that starts with P. Can't believe I missed it.

10:50 pm

jayferg

I must be blind because that just lead me to an animal that starts with P.

10:52 pm

parker313

Getting closer and closer to that 200 mark, aren't you?!

I've just got 14 more to go here.

10:53 pm
