Goforit, you are an angel! Quite a grid, this one...

the list looked like more than 283 words ... i was expecting it to come out in the 400 range. Now i'm tempted to play ...

sprite

2:09 am

Yes, this looks manageable - but only just! ;-)

sprite

2:30 am

Starting letters of the biggies I found so far: L8/50, L8/45 P8/50 P8/60 - 9/78 R8/60 - 9/78 S8/50 T8/45

the BiggieStats: 9's: P, R, U 8's: A,E,G,i,L,L, P,P,P R,S,S,T I've been fiddling with my report so my stats give me that info (first time i've tried it out, so not positive if it's right) ... now all i have to do is find the words ...

sprite

2:48 am

*lol* Nice experiment, shortseer. Gives me something to aim for, and a direction to look into... great!

sprite

3:09 am

i8/45

sprite

3:17 am

Yeah, thanks to your list, shortseer: found the U9/60. Spotless.

yes, just got it too

sprite

3:30 am

A7/32 - 8/45 combo

sprite

3:48 am

E7/32 - 8/45 combo Looks like your experiment works like a charm, shortseer.

I think it's going to prove very useful for the letters with high word counts. It's certainly helping me work through the T's : T4 x19 T5 x10 T6 x9 T7 x5 T8 x1 ===== 44

sprite

3:59 am

Am looking for the G8 now. This is much more fun than yesterday!

sprite

4:06 am

G7/32 - 8/45 combo, same ending as the A7/8.

sprite

4:15 am

Found another P8/50, a word I did not know. A variety of feldspar. The first 5 letters are the same as in the other P8/50, but the words are not related. I think.

sprite

4:23 am

And the final 8: S8/55; opposed or resistant to change. Also a new word for me.

i'm still working on the T's 6 more T's to go ...

sprite

4:29 am

Just joined you, but am way behind in the Ts. Found 4 T7s though, one more to go.

sprite

4:50 am

Got all the Ts, thanks to your list.

sprite

4:50 am

200 words, 3334 points. Time for a break!

sprite

6:30 am

A quite strange S6/21 meaning "defensive earthwork around hollow". Add one letter to an S5/12 meaning "Abyssinian ox". Educative grid today, at least for me!

sprite

6:31 am

or is that "educational"?

sprite

6:53 am

283 words / 5.15/ 4518 points

sprite

8:28 am

A7/8: purine base(s) (chemical words) E7/8: tropical tree(s) and shrub(s) with aromatic leaves and often valuable hard wood G7: a liver enzyme G6/7/8/7: purine base(s), alt.spelling i8: to swamp L7/8: border(s) L7/8: inclination(s) P7/8: flower(s) or color(s) P8: variety of feldspar. The first 5 letters are the same as in the other P8/50, but the words are not related. P8/9: appeal(s) R8/9: eagerness(es) for plunder S8: status S8: opposed or resistant to change T7/8: straight line(s) or plane(s) that touch(es) a curve or curved surface at a point but do(es) not intersect it at that point (math term) U9: spotless

EvaNadine

8:32 am

ha! wow! thanks bunches sprite!! i wasnt expecting all that!

sprite

8:35 am

*lol* I realised that the log didn't contain many clues, only points and wordlengths. Good hunting!

sprite

8:37 am

Oh, and maybe a better clue for the S6/21: if you use another first letter, you could park aircraft in it. ;-)

I cant find the E7 and E8, I can never find E words.

sprite

9:02 am

Treble99, try starting with the greek prefix for 'good' or 'sweet'.

great clues sprite, thanks

E6/7 stopping point(s)

EvaNadine

10:44 am

trying to enter the S5/12 (abyssinian ox) and it tells me its not a valid word. anyone else have this trouble?

EvaNadine

10:45 am

never mind...guess i had a different spelling!

cant find the liver enzyme

sprite

10:47 am

The spelling with A at the end is valid.

EvaNadine

11:25 am

methinks my brain is falling asleep...hehe...

sprite

11:26 am

For the liver enzyme: start with sea bird dung, then change the last letter into a typical ending for enzymes.

thanks sprite

thanks sprite

I don't know if anyone hit this yet. There is an i8 that means flood (not water flood)

The A-Stats: A4 x12 A5 x7 A6 x4 A7 x2 A8 x1 ==== 26

5:40 pm

is there a clue for the A/8?

At 08:28 am sprite said... A7/8: purine base(s) (chemical words)

periwinkle

5:56 pm

thanks, I can't get it from that clue. will keep looking.

i'm still working on it too

A7/A8 sing./pl. A major purine base; in animal and plant cells it usually occurs condensed with ribose or deoxyribose to form the nucleosides adenosine and deoxyadenosine. Heh. My last words in the grid. I was fixated on putting in adenosine ... i should have been looking lower down the building-block food chain.
