9:24 am

hokie carla

i have only grayed 4 tiles

9:25 am

penquis

gee...i have grayed 6 but i have 75 words left to find....

9:26 am

hokie carla

I have several close ones

9:26 am

rururocks

i have found that just working on one tile at a time finishes me faster in this game

9:27 am

penquis

perhaps...but i don't think that is as fun for me....

9:29 am

rururocks

really ok

9:31 am

penquis

once i have exhausted what i can find, i sometimes just look for fours and do that systematically....and i often attack letters that are missing lots of words....

9:31 am

hokie carla

I work on one tile at a time on first pass and then again on subsequent passes, but have to move on eventually when I can't find them all.

9:33 am

hokie carla

I have same strategy, pen

9:33 am

penquis

i always end up going tile to tile...

9:34 am

hokie carla

I just have trouble finishing tiles. I currently just need one on top A, top O, W, bottom R, bottom i, both H

9:35 am

hokie carla

6 4's left, have already looked for 4s once.

9:35 am

penquis

only ones of those i have finished are the top A and the bottom I.....

9:37 am

rururocks

had to list for my last word.. that always pisses me off

9:37 am

welki

'morning, gang

9:37 am

hokie carla

the rare times that happens to me I'm just glad I got that far

9:37 am

hokie carla

hey welki

9:37 am

penquis

hi welki....

9:37 am

mkg

Ty got the ro.

9:38 am

rururocks

gm welki

9:38 am

rururocks

hey welks.. are you still going to be on Vancouver Island in July?

9:39 am

hokie carla

now just need one D from the left

9:40 am

welki

probably not - one of my kids rented a house near montreal for the last week of august, so we're headed there. in between, we have a camping trip to prince albert, saskatchewan. don't think we'll have the time

9:41 am

rururocks

ok.. ori, saanich and I will be running around the island in July

9:41 am

welki

we're trying to get in as much golfing and fishing as we can this year

9:41 am

welki

do you remember damia from tanglewood/serpentine?

9:42 am

rururocks

no.. i don't

9:42 am

welki

then nevermind :)

9:43 am

hokie carla

now just need 1 B

9:43 am

rururocks

i'm stuck at yellow in serpentine... i just can't get higher than 1830

9:43 am

hokie carla

wah wah

9:43 am

hokie carla

I can't even get back to blue

9:43 am

welki

poor baby

9:44 am

welki

i haven't played for a while

9:44 am

penquis

the Bs are doable...

9:44 am

hokie carla

I just played last night for the first time in forever

9:44 am

rururocks

some other game closed down and there's a ton of new players who are too freaking good

9:45 am

hokie carla

and for the first time as myself in even longer

9:45 am

rururocks

so I looked at wordle and I just don't see the thrill to be honest..

9:46 am

welki

i wonder which game closed - just checked, bitwordy is still online

9:47 am

penquis

wordsplay is still there, too...

9:47 am

hokie carla

there was another boggle one I can't remember

9:48 am

hokie carla

puppies are bitier than older dogs

9:49 am

mkg

Hi all./ one more clue needed please. For the E second row. Thanks.

9:49 am

rururocks

that's what kills you... a great player coming in as a newbie and scoring 235 points and slaughtering everyone

9:49 am

mkg

Oops just got it. Sorry all

9:50 am

hokie carla

last night I was -16 almost the whole round and couldn't figure out why when I was typing nonstop as fast as I could. then about 30 seconds left noticed a -ing and finished -7.

9:50 am

mkg

I play wordscapes. Enjoy that one. On my phone.

9:50 am

welki

happens all the time, ru - you'll see an influx of savants during college breaks and holidays. amazing how many master the game in less than a day

9:51 am

hokie carla

I have read how the formula works but it makes no sense in action. I can lose a huge amount of points but then I beat higher players and they only lose 1 pt.

9:52 am

hokie carla

and I only gain 1

9:53 am

welki

still fun, though

9:53 am

rururocks

pepe told me how he plays.. his brain memorizes the board and then he creates long words in his brain. I wish I could think like that .. just freaking amazing

9:53 am

hokie carla

it's frustrating if you care about your ranking, which I do, and it's very low.

9:54 am

rururocks

(Carla C for competitive ) :D

9:54 am

hokie carla

dolly and moo are very good at the long words too in the hard room. I always see all the 4s first.

9:54 am

hokie carla

well, 4's not in the hard room, but in medium

9:54 am

rururocks

I can't do the hard room.. I have to go to therapy shortly thereafter playing :D

9:55 am

hokie carla

so yes, my brain is not right for that game

9:55 am

rururocks

too many optionis

9:55 am

rururocks

options that is

9:55 am

hokie carla

I will play the hard room as a guest and i'm always the bottom player.

9:55 am

rururocks

likewise

9:56 am

hokie carla

if I play as myself it's almost always double digit ranking points lost

9:56 am

hokie carla

moo is an alien now there

9:56 am

welki

i play the hard room, mostly because i've been playing with the folks there for decades

9:56 am

rururocks

really? whoa

9:57 am

rururocks

neil's jerky friend is an alien player too VYCanismajoris or something like that

9:58 am

hokie carla

yeah, I don't know neil, but that is a player there

9:58 am

hokie carla

I haven't seen him being too jerky

9:58 am

welki

VYC sometimes plays here, too

9:58 am

rururocks

neil was a controversial character around here

9:58 am

hokie carla

at least he doesn't have tourettes like surge

9:58 am

rururocks

now that guy I do not like at all (surge)

9:59 am

welki

(but maybe i'm wrong, can't find him in rankings, maybe another name)

9:59 am

hokie carla

aha, finished the B!

10:00 am

welki

busy day - adios, people!

10:00 am

hokie carla

bye welki!

10:00 am

rururocks

good luck golfing welki

10:02 am

rururocks

bring up the middle east conflict with Canis hokie.. and then tell me what you think

10:02 am

rururocks

:D

10:02 am

hokie carla

lol, ok

10:03 am

hokie carla

I think he usually plays hard room

10:03 am

rururocks

yes he's super bright

10:03 am

hokie carla

what is my missing H on the bottom?

10:03 am

rururocks

hy7

10:04 am

rururocks

oh bottom

10:04 am

hokie carla

that's not the bottom, but I found it. spanish hour. bottom row gray!

10:04 am

rururocks

ho7/32 likely

10:04 am

hokie carla

but I don't have HY7 so that must be my missing one from the other.

10:04 am

rururocks

i better get to work

10:05 am

hokie carla

I need to too

10:11 am

penquis

Hello, anyone home? It's just me and my monkeys here.

Everyone is taking their afternoon nap, I suppose.

4:58 pm

Scrabbler

I am here now.

5:04 pm

joym999

hi Scrabbler

5:05 pm

ah, well only 302 to go

5:05 pm

Scrabbler

Pace yourself, but hurry up.

5:05 pm

(yawns and stretches while waking up from nap...) Hello everyone!

5:06 pm

5:06 pm

Scrabbler

Hi Joy and Eeyore

5:07 pm

car.eeyore

((Scrabs)) How are things in Buffalo? I'm so sorry for what that community is going through.

5:08 pm

Scrabbler

We are stunned, sad, and angry.

5:08 pm

joym999

It's just awful and crazy.

5:09 pm

Scrabbler

The community is working hard to help the victims' families and to provide food while the supermarket is closed.

5:10 pm

Scrabbler

I live 35 miles away, out in the country, but I was visiting a friend in the city this afternoon.

5:10 pm

joym999

that's great, scrabbler. Is there a website where people can contribute to money for the families or for food?

5:13 pm

Scrabbler

Feed More WNY is one agency. There were multiple GoFundMe accounts so I was unsure if any were valid.

5:14 pm

Scrabbler

Reverend Al Sharpton's group plans to pay for all funerals.

5:15 pm

Scrabbler

That neighborhood is now a food desert until the supermarket re-opens.

5:15 pm

car.eeyore

So many prayers being lifted and support will be coming for those families and the community.

5:18 pm

Scrabbler

Joe and Jill Biden are coming here tomorrow.

5:18 pm

car.eeyore

I wish I could promise the solution will be forthcoming for this scurge / curse that is devastating our country, but that I cannot do.

5:19 pm

Scrabbler

When nothing changed after Sandy Hook I knew changes would probably never happen. Angry young men like to kill others.

5:19 pm

car.eeyore

Its absolutely gross

5:20 pm

Scrabbler

We are a sick society. Toxic masculinity is deadly.

5:22 pm

Scrabbler

Did your son enjoy Italy, other than catching, COVID, Eeyore?

5:22 pm

joym999

totally agree, scrabbler. Unbelievable that we can outlaw abortion, but we can't even place limits on who can have incredibly deadly weapons. I'll look up Feed More WNY.

5:23 pm

Scrabbler

What is more important? The 2nd amendment or safety of society?

5:24 pm

moolingwa

I find it incredibly sad

5:27 pm

rolin

and for non americans.... we find it bewildering.

5:28 pm

Scrabbler

As of Saturday, there were 198 shootings in the US this year. The rest of the world knows we are dangerous and violent.

5:32 pm

Scrabbler

When I did quick errands, I used to leave my cell phone in my car when I went into a store. For the last few years I now take my phone with me "in case there is a shooting." I also note exits in all places.

5:49 pm

mab

Americans seem so angry, so violently angry since the sort of pause in covid. What the hell is wrong with us? Well, lots...

5:52 pm

Scrabbler

Emotional dysregulation.

5:53 pm

Scrabbler

Egocentrism.

6:11 pm

Scrabbler

97 left. I am done.

6:20 pm

8:14 pm

8:16 pm

hokie carla

I am watching Top Gun with the youngest right now so a little distracted. I said one of the lines earlier and he was like, how many times have you seen this? 🤣

8:17 pm

hokie carla
