I have a 5-letter with the 'x' but my 6-letter has no 'x' I keep trying to put 'vitamin' but it's just not there...

I can't find that 'x' word at all. I'm presuming it's something really obscure because I've tried about every combination possible!

55/497 and stuck

30 4.53/352 and taking an extended break. Going bug-eyed

It almost says "viagra", not that it would accept that....

SweetPickle

11:29 am

because it's spelled "midget" (:

ah...that explains it...=\

can I have hint for the 5 letter x word?

Hmmm, I have 2 six, but no x, except in the word six, which doesn't count because it's not part of the puzzle.... Anywho, I am at 22 for 222, which is actually so cool I might just stop.

runningforhome

11:49 am

Yeah, I'm stumped on the x-word too... I feel like I've tried every possibly combination that would make a 30-point word and still nothing valid.

Krista

11:50 am

I have 28 for 239. Is that good? It's my first time on this. Think I am addicted already!

Krista

11:51 am

Wish I could buy a vowel....:)

I'll join the chorus of people who want anceps to return. It would be nice to know the ceiling for this one... 38/4.37/393 currently

38/4.32/361 for me.... :(

WOO HOO!!!! 50 for 517..This is a grinder.

Krista

11:54 am

When a puzzle is over, is there any way to see what words people found?

yes. click on archives and go to the date of the puzzle you are interested in. When the scores are posted, click anyone's name.

Yes. Click on their name and it gives you the word list.

Ooops. We posted at the same time.

Krista

12:03 pm

Thanks, both of you. Should have seen that.

i don't like this puzzle. i want a new one :(

4t8

7:26 pm

hunh? i mean 404. just got a 33 point v word. had to look it up.

1 seven letter i only got because i recently took a anatomy adn physiology class.. its an obscure term for.. facing something.. like when you are looking at the focal point..

the other one i have.. thanks to biology :) its when a trait comes back after.. disappearing for a while.. they're.. interesting words.. thsi one begins with an "a" the other one begins with a "g"

i dont think those clues helped lol, im not sure i could have gotten from them <im sorry!>

it gives me a place to start at least thanks

do you have the 6 letter that starts with an "a" and has a "v" in it?

4t8

7:42 pm

well the g word isn't in the index of my anat. text...when facing something i think of x-ray positions. or caudal, superior etc. will enjoy seeing your list tomorrow. :)

i dont think it was in my.. human.. anatomy book either its used more for animals (we disected cats.. )

yes

yes?

yes i have the 6 letter that starts with an a and has a v

still have only used the "x" once. >(

I think there are 2 7-letter V words. I have one but the other one hates me.

i need more hints. i am dumb tonight.:(

my 7 letter v word has nothign to do with planes.. i dont think.. i have a 6 letter that is close to aviator.. lol

i keep wanting to put advantage :)

well if you dont have the 6 letter v word.. and go on ovusoft n msg boards.. the little display picture is also known as _________. (if you dont get it from that.. i dunno how else you could lol)

I finally found the plane one

the v word with planes -- hint: add three letters to a horrible std. the three letters you will add have to do with location equipment on a plane.

SweetPickle

11:04 pm

I gave up on the plane one. ): Got the other 7 V one right away..got spoiled I guess. d:

what is the other 7 letter v word hint?

actually there are two "V" related to planes...

I suck at this today. :(

Ahhh.....I got the plane 7 letter hapigurl :-) How the heck did you even know that was a word?

SweetPickle

11:09 pm

hapi, thanks for the hint on the plane one. I never would have gotten it: that word is weak! It's not even in dictionary.com. Okay, rant over. (: I don't know the other V word hint: I got it without it. I can make one up though...it's deja vu all over again. (:

my husband is a private pilot working on his commercial ratign. :)

i got it too...woohoo

i want davidic to be in there sooooo bad.

Thanks Hapigurl! I was going nuts trying to find that 7-letter V word. Now I gotta see if the other one can be found...

what about a hint for the other 7 ltr v word?

varant should be a word. it sounds like it should be a word.

I tried varantic too....but it won' take it. :O)

I only have one V 7 ltr...sorry

46 words 557 pts....I really am quitting now. I've typed in so many things that I think COULD look like words, I'm starting to believe they are words when I see them. LOL
