1:52 am
Krys10

...but it's not monster, ostrich, or harmonica :(
1:53 am
Atalante

argh, now I'm going to see monster everywhere :P
1:54 am
Krys10

this is a weird board, with so many duplicates in the lower left and upper right corners..
2:14 am

I'm not sure where all these 6s are hiding out .... am beginning to feel most of them don't exist :P
2:15 am

I feel the same way.. I have six of them so far. Mostly I'm missing 5's tho.

2:26 am
Krys10

Atalante, is the seven a common word?
2:41 am
Atalante

Its not common, but its not a word you'll have never ever heard of. And its a plural of one of the 6s
3:24 am

That was anticlimactic - I just found the seven by accident. Turns out it wasn't a word I knew... guess I'm not enough of a nut fan!
6:25 am
Minski

Good Morning All.
Just getting started.
It's 7:20am here in Massachusetts.
Usually I'm getting ready to leave but waiting for the heater repair man to come between 8 and 12 for our annual pre-winter checkup.
It sounds like this might be one of those difficult grids. A challenge is just what I need to wake up.

Atalante - I'm not at the Universtiy now. Got my BSE in Aerospace Engineering there in 1996. Just living there now and enjoying the wonderful universtiy town atmosphere!
9:47 am
jlm_mi

There is also one more SO4. Still haven't found the MO5, but that leaves the other S to be 5 letters.
9:48 am
jlm_mi

Duh - The remaining S is plural of the 4 I was missing, so there is also another SO5.

Are there really MO5x8????? I'm so stumped on this one. I have 5 of them worth 14 points and 2 worth 20 if anyone can tell me the point value of the one I'm missing.
10:02 am

Goodmorning, all. (and Marianne) I've just signed on for today. found 64/675, before I quit to do some sewing... I have the seven and five 6s, and now I need to find the rest.

10:17 am
jlm_mi

MA4x2, MA5, MA6, MA7

So, fnurt, if you're a football fan, who will you be rooting for on 10/30. Bummer for me I can't go to the game! We have my in-laws' season tickets, with the understanding that father-in-law gets to go the UM vs. MSU game because he's an MSU alum.
10:47 am
jlm_mi

And great clues, steve! Though I think I would have liked the Cadillac one better, LOL!

Just starting to play today...
Most of the family plays this game from Rochester, NY, but one of us lives in Buffalo (thus the "Boo West/Boo East" conversations)
(we also go by Berekah and Benjake, depending on which way the wind blows)
It's cool to see where people are from!
12:49 pm
boatierra

Hi all. I'm in Phoenix, AZ, US, the source of all heat. I am soooo addicted to this game. My friend, Tolinya, got me started. And I got my mom (in Colorado) and my uncle (San Fransisco) to play as well. TTFN.
12:54 pm
Krys10

I've obviously got way too much time on my hands... I was looking through the chat logs for games from a year ago. No one even used the chat log in the beginning! There was talk about a limit/penalty on random guesses (no noodling!). And people weren't nearly as nice to each other.
12:57 pm
Krys10

Steve, I'm also missing two M's and an R, but I know what I'm looking for - what have you got?
1:02 pm

I'm missing 2 6s/39 and 6/24

The two 39's differ by one letter. It's a slang term, Joe's last name.
1:07 pm
Stef

You're dead right Kris10. I played when the game was starting up. People were doing a lot of bitching and getting wound up about their scores/ people cheating etc.
Its much nicer now there is a community spirit about the game. Give yourselves a pat on the back!
I'm fae Glasgow in perpetually rainy Scotland.
