Goforit, you are an angel! Quite a grid, this one...
2:07 am
goforit

the list looked like more than 283 words ... i was expecting it to come out in the 400 range.
Now i'm tempted to play ...
2:09 am
sprite

Yes, this looks manageable - but only just! ;-)
2:30 am
sprite

Starting letters of the biggies I found so far:
L8/50, L8/45
P8/50
P8/60 - 9/78
R8/60 - 9/78
S8/50
T8/45
2:46 am
shortseer

the BiggieStats:

9's: P, R, U
8's: A,E,G,i,L,L, P,P,P R,S,S,T

I've been fiddling with my report so my stats give me that info (first time i've tried it out, so not positive if it's right)

... now all i have to do is find the words ...
2:48 am
sprite

*lol* Nice experiment, shortseer. Gives me something to aim for, and a direction to look into... great!

Yeah, thanks to your list, shortseer: found the U9/60. Spotless.

yes, just got it too

3:48 am

E7/32 - 8/45 combo

Looks like your experiment works like a charm, shortseer.
3:56 am
shortseer

I think it's going to prove very useful for the letters with high word counts. It's certainly helping me work through the T's :

T4 x19
T5 x10
T6 x9
T7 x5
T8 x1

Am looking for the G8 now. This is much more fun than yesterday!
4:06 am
sprite

G7/32 - 8/45 combo, same ending as the A7/8.
4:15 am
sprite

Found another P8/50, a word I did not know. A variety of feldspar. The first 5 letters are the same as in the other P8/50, but the words are not related. I think.
4:23 am
sprite

And the final 8: S8/55; opposed or resistant to change. Also a new word for me.
4:27 am
shortseer

i'm still working on the T's
6 more T's to go ...
4:29 am
sprite

Just joined you, but am way behind in the Ts. Found 4 T7s though, one more to go.
4:50 am
sprite

Got all the Ts, thanks to your list.
4:50 am
sprite

200 words, 3334 points. Time for a break!
6:30 am
sprite

A quite strange S6/21 meaning "defensive earthwork around hollow". Add one letter to an S5/12 meaning "Abyssinian ox".
Educative grid today, at least for me!
6:31 am

or is that "educational"?

8:35 am
sprite

*lol*
I realised that the log didn't contain many clues, only points and wordlengths. Good hunting!
8:37 am
sprite

Oh, and maybe a better clue for the S6/21: if you use another first letter, you could park aircraft in it. ;-)
8:56 am
Treble99

I cant find the E7 and E8, I can never find E words.
9:02 am
sprite

Treble99, try starting with the greek prefix for 'good' or 'sweet'.
9:14 am
Treble99

great clues sprite, thanks

10:44 am
EvaNadine

trying to enter the S5/12 (abyssinian ox) and it tells me its not a valid word. anyone else have this trouble?
10:45 am
EvaNadine

never mind...guess i had a different spelling!
10:46 am
Treble99

cant find the liver enzyme
10:47 am
sprite

The spelling with A at the end is valid.
11:25 am
EvaNadine

methinks my brain is falling asleep...hehe...
11:26 am
sprite

For the liver enzyme: start with sea bird dung, then change the last letter into a typical ending for enzymes.

5:57 pm

i'm still working on it too
6:07 pm
shortseer

A7/A8 sing./pl.
A major purine base; in animal and plant cells it usually occurs condensed with ribose or deoxyribose to form the nucleosides adenosine and deoxyadenosine.

Heh. My last words in the grid. I was fixated on putting in adenosine ... i should have been looking lower down the building-block food chain.
