lawyer, you must get up very early in the morning.
parsec, you're assuming I sleep.
most of us need to at some point. most humans choose nighttime. statistically speaking, it was a good working assumption. =)
I can never seem to spot the long words. So far I have just a 7 for 44 and no 8s at all.
parsec, I am home recovering from major surgery. I sleep when it hits me, which blurs the distinction between day and night.
then best wishes for you.
Thank you!
fnurt-- there's a 7/48 -- think opposite of a novel by Jack London ;-) that will get you a 6 too
cute clue, fixitfirmly.
the call of the mild?!
maybe "removing a Jack London novel" is a better way to phrase it. Now about them 8s...
Has anyone managed to start a word with that K? I've used it 3 times with a word but ...
fnurt -- if this had happened to the main character of the story . . . well, there wouldn't have been a story! Or we would have read about the toothless wonder ;-)
parsec -- think about people putting up wallpaper
right I am off to cook dinner... 7 x A 15 x C 7 x D 1 x E 13 x F 8 x G 12 x H 1 x N 3 x O 18 x R 18 x S 3 x T 1 x U 107 4.73 1498
153 words 4.78 2246 ax13 cx16 dx7 ex4 fx27 gx12 hx18 nx2 ox4 rx22 sx22 tx4 ux2 That's my breakdown so far. Don't know the total numbr of words, but my guess is that there are probably quite a few more. I'll be back later!
Wendrie -- I'm behind in a couple of yours like C & R but ahead in some others . . . I have D x 8 E x 2 F x 19 G x 13 N x 2 14x6, 4x7, 2x8 102/1413
There are about 177 words. I have some more and some less than claws: 17xA 16xC 6xD 4xE 24xF 11xG 19xH 2xN 3xO 21xR 17xS 3xT 144/4.69/1980 and I've used the K 7 times.
I have 4 O's
Wendrie -- I haven't used K to start a word but I've used it 5 times in words
I don't know what's wrong with me today - I'm blind to any more words and I only have 35!

Never can get the long ones......any clues for the 8's? Starting letters? Suggestion to the Powers-That-Be: it would be great if along with every player's stats/word lists you could also show their time or how long they were logged on. I'm never a top scorer, but I usually only have time for 2 or so hours of play. Just wondering how my scores compare with others with a similar playing time.
I'm still missing one, but the 8s i have are all Rs.
Good suggestion, cz. I have 3 8's - 1-g & 2 r's.
It wouldn't be accurate.I play on paper throughout the day then type all my words in right before I go to bed. <<<,Suggestion to the Powers-That-Be: it would be great if along with every player's stats/word lists you could also show their time or how long they were logged on.

And I'm logged in all day, but only look at it occasionally, a few minutes at a time.
Well, might not be accurate for everyone...but if you knew that it was keeping track of the time you'd probably log off and log back on accordingly. I guess I'd like to be able to compare my scores because I know that many of the players that score higher than me spend a lot more time on the puzzle as well. It's obvious that you'd never be able to get complete accuracy (someone who writes down the puzzle on paper then logs on for a very short time or someone who forgets to log off and is on for 12 hours) but that's all in the spirit of the game.
fixitfirmly--good clue about putting up wallpaper!
I still don't get the Jack London clue...
the JL book is about a dog. Or a wolf, i forget.
Jack London was an author... part of the title of one of his most popular books will get you a 4 for 8 points, and its plural for 18.
and the adjective for 33...
Yeah, I've got the 4/8 and 5/18 but fixit was referring to a 7/48..I don't get the clue for *that*.
Nevermind. Just needed a prefix.
well i am done for now. things i have more of than what's been posted so far: ax18 gx15 rx24
there's a combo of 5 words that will get you a 6, 3x7, and an 8 -- start by thinking of a safe place
my earlier 'think of people putting up wallpaper' clue will get you a 7 word combo, including the root and various prefix/suffix attachments -- 4, 5, 3x6, 7, 8
hi fixitfrmly. I got that one and was patting myself on the back :) Another clue to the biggee is stranger from another country
thank you so much for the stranger clue. i got it! now, with the wallpaper, i think i got the base, but i'm missing all the extras. how do you get to an eight? i'm right thinking of a game with a stick figure, right?
anniem - prefix and suffix OK, off to the dentist with 18xA 16xC 8xD 4xE 27xF 13xG 19xH 2xN 4xO 24xR 22xS 4xT 2xU 8x7, 3x8 163/4.75/2335 I know I'm missing 2 G words. If you have more in other categories, please share!
think more than one stranger
Thanks for the clues! I got the JL, wallpaper, and the safe place. Another clue for the 6, 3x7, 8 set....think of Tom Petty songs.
jlm_mi - here's where I differ from you: 19xA 15xC 25xF 14xG 23xS
jlm_mi, you're also missing at least one E.
Daisy -- ARRGGH!! I was just congratulating myself on getting to 14 As -- they are my nemesis. Don't find any more As! ;-D My A vocab is limited to words like 'Ack!' and 'ark' but they are too small . . . ;)
I feel for you. The A's are terrible! My A-word vocabulary has increased tenfold since I started playing this game and I still miss tons of them!
Just made it to 2000 before duties call! Maybe I'll be back after twinkies bedtime . . . 136/2001
There's a G-8?? Any clues for that one? I'm at a loss... :/
the G8 builds on a G6--they're sewing words.
Great! I don't sew... ;-)
um, think of wind, then add another syllable? the G6 is 21pts.
Thank parsec, I got it!
Aha! Got it! I know that word, it was right there the whole time. Thanks, parsec!
ur welcome. and i know some people here have 19 As, but I have decided there are only 18. Stupid A words.
No 8 letter words, but I've only been playing about an hour.
Thanks for the clue Parsec got the G6 and the G8
When did he S 5/6 combo for 16/27 become a word? It's an acronym...sometimes I think this dictionary is just that...heh heh.
LOL - Never knew that was an acronym. I always thought it was just a word. LOVE what it stands for though! :-D
Oh, and it's actually a 5/6/7 combo. ;)
What does the 8 for 60 start with, please?
Wish I knew what the acronym was.
8 for 60 starts with r and its one of 5 words with the same root word
Thanks trixiew. I will keep looking.
hey thanks - never would've tried that b/c the plural was already a stretch in my mind (situations?), the past tense is just plain silly (situationed?). :-]
Periwinkle - the acronym is military in origin (I think), and suggests lack of surprise that everything's so screwed up.....
Fixit - what a shame you can't use your A word (the one longer than three letters).... A6/33 plus whatever you get for
Oooops, fixit - s/b 'plus whatever you get for three exclamation points"
Christine, you are right that it is military in origin. I know what it stands for, and I've heard it toned down by those who don't like naughty words :)
i am still not getting this R8
ok....got it...i am a little slow
i got an r 8 for 65 is there another?
onyx, yes there is another 8 letter r word.
fixit - I don't use that other word (remember, I'm perfect) so I'd say 'fouled up'
Onyx and Modina - d'you still need clues for the two R8s? i) think of escaping your country, for a safer place... with prefixes and suffixes - 5 words. ii) think of wallpaper - again! With prefix and suffix - 3 words.
Is the R 8 for 65 dealing with the wallpaper? I got the one about escapeing...
Sorry, got confused there. I got that the R 8 for 65 deals with wallpaper, just how is what I have not figured out yet....
