11:05 am

MollyL

Smallest was 10. Lickety lists the smallest and largest in his stats.

11:05 am

11:05 am

MollyL

But of course, there is Carla to answer for me.

11:05 am

penquis

11:06 am

11:06 am

MollyL

11:07 am

penquis

11:08 am

hokie carla

MollyL

You got a whopping 51 points for finishing it

11:11 am

penquis

11:14 am

hokie carla

11:24 am

hokie carla

yuck, hopefully it will get better soon

11:26 am

hokie carla

just played the 10. only got 9/10. harder for sure without the stats.

11:29 am

hokie carla

it's funny reading the chats of both those grids.

11:30 am

penquis

yes, the first few comments were funny....i did not see my name, so I must not have been here....it was on a weekend, so I may have been away or I may have had company....

11:31 am

penquis

I do remember a few grids with over 500 words....what year was the smallest grid?

11:34 am

hokie carla

the 744 must've been during my hiatus too.

11:34 am

hokie carla

2018 I think. I read it here but already forgot.

11:35 am

hokie carla

no, just found myself in the player list of the 744, so not during my hiatus. I did not finish.

11:36 am

penquis

yes it was 2018....i was here....my name was at the top of the list so i found it right away... ;o)

11:38 am

hokie carla

does that mean you were the first finisher? I don't know how those lists in the archives are organized. def. not alphabetically.

11:39 am

penquis

no idea....

11:39 am

penquis

i doubt i was the first finisher....

11:39 am

penquis

were you here for the shortest?

11:40 am

hokie carla

I was not here for the shortest it looks like.

11:41 am

hokie carla

unless I missed my name scrolling through the list

11:41 am

penquis

there are lots of names, for sure...

11:44 am

penquis

it's funny....i tried to use FORINT in Spelling Bee and it wasn't accepted....heck, don't we all know that that is the monetary unit of Hungary??

11:45 am

hokie carla

I didn't know that!

11:46 am

penquis

it's been in the grid here before...

11:47 am

hokie carla

must've been during my hiatus 😜

11:48 am

penquis

heh heh....

11:49 am

penquis

have you seen mool?...

11:49 am

penquis

saw his name in the list of players for one of those grids...

11:52 am

hokie carla

he checked in one day a couple of weeks ago but haven't seen him since. and yes, I have seen his name in the archive lists too.

11:55 am

penquis

just curious...

11:57 am

hokie carla

he said he was prioritizing other stuff and we said how dare you. j/k

11:59 am

4:24 pm

hokie carla

well, I don't know if the actual word is pronounced with a long or short e

4:25 pm

hokie carla

so in my head it kinda rhymed

4:29 pm

MollyL

Long E, but it's like saying doofus and fetus rhyme

4:31 pm

hokie carla

bocephus rhymes a lot more than doofus and fetus rhyme with each other

4:33 pm

hokie carla

by the way, I was reading some archives trying to find when I quit playing and saw one day when we, cosdem, and kaplan were discussing tv shows, including Smash. which is funny since we just talked about it yesterday or the day before.

5:22 pm

eieios
