what do all of the numbers mean that you guys are typing?

12:53 am

chrisrhee

GISgrl: They're clues. For example:

o/7/44

means there's a word that starts with "O", it's 7 letters long and you'd get 44 points for it.

the A8 does not have a definition -- but it's like to be against something .. usually starts with a different letter.

The A8/60 comes from the A6/30 which means to place side by side or in close proximity, and it grows from there with (2) A7/44. Hope it helps.
