Wordracer says only 43 words in this one! No 8 letter words, only one 7. (These stats are not always accurate - perhaps someone will do the detailed stats)

Ah-oh... you know it is bad when clues are given for 6-words ! Missed playing, though I had a wonderful (kidsfree) holiday - let's see if we can find all 43.

welcome back, sprite! You would have liked yesterday's 300+ word grid -- this one is not as fun. But there's always another big one in the near future :)

sprite

1:24 am

Thanks, metags! :D Too bad I missed such a huge one, but you are right, there will be more. I found 12 words so far and they are not coming easy... such small grids are a challenge all by themselves ;-)

T6/36: north american bird, also called chewink, ground robin.

dicktrickle

2:11 am

i'm at 26 words...547 points is not bad...but no WAY am i finding 17 more words

sprite

2:14 am

30/621 here... and about stuck.

same here at 32/605, only looking at the grid sporadically to see if a fresh look once in a while would help ;-)

dicktrickle

2:20 am

well, the good news is that we have at least a few words that are different because i have 30/608 now

sprite

2:27 am

A funny W5/22: tropical marine food and game fish I am close now, at 42 words, so I'll list what I have. A -- 3 D -- 1 E -- 1 F -- 3 G -- 6 H -- 8 O -- 3 P -- 1 T -- 2 W -- 12 Y -- 2 ------ so far 42/762 7 -- 1 (T) 6 -- 3 (T,W,W) 5 -- 10 4 -- 28

Found another H-word, 4/13. Scottish word for meeting place, has appeared in grids before. 43 words / 4.44 / 775 points.

Could I have another clue for the T7 please, cant get it from that one. Thanks

Sté

6:50 am

Sprite, your stats are OK ( 43 words)!

I have A4/10 can anyone help with the missing ones please.

sprite

7:22 am

Thank you, Ste! So then we have: H -- 9 4 -- 29 Glad I don't have to hunt for some obscure missing word ;) I found the Scottish word hard enough, although I had seen it before.

sprite

7:24 am

Treble99: for the 7, think of that on which those blond hairs are attached. It is a compound word. The As go: 5/14 - 4/5 - 4/10.

Thanks sprite I will try and find the As I found the T7.

I have F4/7 and F4/10 can you help with the missing one also are there 9H words. Thank You

I have the F word now just missing 1H I think.

Atalante

9:38 am

yes there are 9H words

Thanks.

I'm down to 1 h and 1 w. Here's what I have: wa4, wh4x4, wh5x2, wh6x2, wo4, wo5x1 he4x2, he5, ho4x3, ho5, hu4. Can anyone help me end the misery :)

Krys10

10:32 am

fit1, I just finished my H's - I have ho4x4.

Krys10

10:33 am

All the HO4's are fairly common words except for the Scottish one sprite referred to earlier.

fit1

10:38 am

Thanks Krys. I had the hard one, and i was missing one I thought I had typed in earlier. Apparantly I didn't. So now i'm down to a w, which I think is a w5

fit1

10:48 am

I found the last double. And I'll say that word because I am done, done, done.

fit1

10:48 am

oops, that should read I found the last w

Krys10

10:48 am

fit1, it's a WA word, a fish word described earlier, and I felt like crowing it when I found it!

sprite

10:51 am

fit1, you are missing the W5 I mentioned at 02.27 am. It comes before all the other Ws and I found it by trying other startingletters for a well known Y5 email service ;-)

sprite

10:52 am

Ah, well... better late than never. Congrats for finishing!

Krys10

10:56 am

Thanks for coming to our rescue, sprite. I'm done! I'm gone!

i seem to be missing a g/5....i have ga/5 x 2....can anyone help?

dicktrickle

11:50 am

got it by counting points....it's a g5/14 if you're curious

periwinkle

5:02 pm

I found an h/4/13 with no meaning in dictionary.com. Is it the scottish word?

periwinkle

5:03 pm

It is. I remember it from other puzzles.

periwinkle

7:04 pm

I can't find the D word. Hints please.

Gail

7:10 pm

I have been looking for the d word all day, can't find it at all...

periwinkle

7:20 pm

It's probably some obscure word we have never heard of.

Gail

7:26 pm

I don't believe there is a word. I just can't find a thing.

Gail

7:28 pm

It's a 4 letter word. I am only missing two words. The d and one g/4.

Gail

7:36 pm

d word: A lateen rigged sailing vessel used by arabs

No there is a D word, though it's one that I've never heard before. Got it by luck only, it sure as heck wasn't skill. Let me see if I can give a clue that will help you...Here is the definition off of the Dictionary.com site. n. Nautical Any of various lateen-rigged sailing vessels, typically having a raised poop, a raked stem, and one or two masts, used along the coasts of the Indian Ocean. n : a lateen-rigged sailing vessel used by Arabs That's the best I can do to help you without giving it away.

Ah someone beat me to the definition. :D Must have posted while I was looking it up for you all. :D

Gail

7:43 pm

Once I saw the word, I knew it. I have seen the word before. I'm done, first one I finished completely. Of course, it was a small one and it took me all day. Good thing the boss doesn't care what I do.

Xanika

8:27 pm

Can someone please tell me how you know how many words there are in each puzzle? Where does it tell you? How do you know when you are done? Thanks
