In Scotland! Actually it's only frost this morning but as KirstyM lives in the North they are hoping for snow on the hills soon! Lucky you 90!

inaniloquent

Ack! Anyone here? All I'm missing is a D5 and a T5:
DE4x3, DE5x2, Di4x2, DO4
TE4, TE5, Ti4x2, Ti6x2, Ti7, TO4x3, TO5x3

5:13 am

testing123

I think you are missing a Di4 (not 5) and a Te5.

5:14 am

testing123

Could you give me a hand with the G's? I have Ga4 x3.

5:18 am

testing123

I so much want to make tidbit...

5:18 am

inaniloquent

You're missing GO5. Thanks for the tips on the others.

5:19 am

testing123

Are you done now? I only need a T6 now.

5:22 am

inaniloquent

Still working on the Te5. I swear I entered the Di4 hours ago!

5:24 am

inaniloquent

Yay! done! 83/4.60/1035

5:27 am

testing123

Good! I am getting there too...

5:33 am

testing123

Yes! It was no T6 but a T5, no wonder I couldn't find it. ;)

5:49 am

sprite

Did some babbling on paper today (just trying to be a little more sociable), but again the same problem: I found words that aren't proper words. And therefore I miss a couple of words that WILL be accepted... ;-) Both T-words, one 6, one 5.

@ testing123: you are right! So close!

5:52 am

sprite

*LOL*
No wonder it wouldn't accept one of my words! I thought that two-footed animal was the noun of a verb and so I was convinced the verb would be good too...

5:57 am

sprite

Well, that wasn't too hard after all.
83 words 4.60 1035 points and still time left to do some chores today... ;)
Good luck to you all.

7:03 am

Kukana

Got everything except the G5... does it really start Go??

7:24 am

sprite

Yes. the G5 starts Go. I found it by noodling, haven't heard it before.
It means: "A triangular piece of fabric usually set into the hem of a garment to add fullness."

8:08 am

Wendrie

Whilst I hadn't worked my way up to the Gs but read that top message knew the word and then searched for it... Thanks!

8:53 am

Kukana

Ah, thanks for that. I suppose there had to be a few obscure words! This puzzle seems to have more than the usual share of ordinary words, though. Sue

9:19 am

fnurt

Is the I-word something obvious? I've been trying everything.

9:33 am

Ashy & Sini

9:41 am

I don't know what to make of that I, although it's the acronym for a lawyer organization I belong to. And it's 6 points.

9:47 am

berekah

fnurt, does it have a definition in their dictionary? (the i word)

10:22 am

parsec

The i word is only an acronym according to dictionary.com.

I'm getting tired of looking for Ps:
Pe4x2, Pe5, Pe6; Pi4x3, Pi5,6,7,8; Po4, Po6, Pr5.
I'm wondering whether the last three are weirdo words, or if I'm blind?

10:32 am

claws

10:41 am

parsec

Thanks, claws. Now everything I'm missing is five letters, which certainly narrows the noodling!
