ladylycan

just found this site 3 days ago...love it! i'm just shy of 50% - my personal best so far...some of the word lists in the closed puzzles are things i've never heard or seen before!

11:08 am

EvaNadine

lady -- i think i have only ever finished 2 puzzles...i find that probably half of the words are ones ive never heard of before, especially the short ones!
the best way to find new words is to just try different combinations and eventually some of them will work out.
