Douglas

I'm trying an alternate strategy, instead of getting exactly 1 word from each tile, I'm trying to get as many words from each tile as I can.

12:15 am

hurshy

that's what i do and i find it more effective in the long run, even though slower at first

12:15 am

ChrissieDee

That’s my strategy too douglas

12:23 am

dianedecoder

I belong to two of the Victoria sites and someone posted a couple of excellent shots of it. I think my sister got several too, but one has to have the right kind of camera to get a proper one.

12:25 am

saanichcat

we don't see something so bright that often. Are the sites you refer to astronomy groups?

12:25 am

origami

I went out front and back and can't see it here. :-(

dianedecoder

They are Facebook sites

12:29 am

saanichcat

hokie carla

it's a noun that ends in sometimes vowel
