What - it doesn't take "fustion"!
de9
actually 2 de9
I'll bite - fustion?
2 de8
"Fustian is a variety of heavy cloth woven from cotton, chiefly prepared for menswear. It is also used figuratively to refer to pompous, inflated or pretentious writing or speech"
(it turns up frequently as an exclamation in Regency novels, as I recall)
Interesting. Not heard of it and was employed in clothing industry here for some 20+ years
And now, looking at that, I see that it is *not* spelt "fustion"

okay, just need 2 S and 1 R to gray middle col. so hard when there's that many words on a tile.
and one upper A in last col. that should be easier.
ooh, last col gray!
I was clever and able enough to find it
but not smart enough to get the related D words right away
ooh, found an 8/9
and another!
found those ten minutes ago....i was surprised that i found those 8/9 words so quickly....never happens....
I know! for me either.

hello

well guess my missing two
and yes, I did type intel AGAIN
me too
um, do you have the in6 and 7 pair?
yes, in fact those were the only ones I could find for a while
oh, I see
there are 3 5 &6 pairs
it was my lack of motion I couldn't get it
ah
if you're done with S, i need one. if there is an SK then it is that.
I still have 2 S
how about N
need one N
same
phantom: recent
Don't see any N words that look weird
hmm
oh, uk spelling
man i hate Ks
that's a little weird, just not unusual for here
i think i am missing a different one than you then, i think i have what you just found
me too. ftr, I made up a few k5's that took. still need 3 k's.
I have gotten so used to the oddball UK spellings that I play them in Scrabble
I think I'm getting slightly better at seeing them but that is not this day
do you have the card game? check your pairs?
and your adj
cards yes
have two pairs that are a 4 and an adj
only one plural, the ni6
scratch that also have no5/18
your scottish word for a veggie?
one pair with a person who
yeah
and louse eggs and christmas
xmas word?
I think we have named everything so must be a plural
The one that rhymes with Lucy's Ethel?
that's the card game hokie mentioned, yeah
The Spanish one
spanish?
oh sure but that's from the right
no6?
Well, I think all the n words have been mentioned then
NOW you mention there's an no6
I thought you guys already went over the plurals
well, it's a plural which I said to check!
ahhh dang it
I can't believe she has the five and not the six
i only tried the 4 pluralized, not the 5
I reread where she mentioned that set and deduced she did not have the 6
Probably ought to refer to words like that as a trio
molly, do you have the Y's?
good deducing! we'll have to call you sherlokie now
I have the y's
I have 2 4/10. what am I missing?
4/6
geez, got it
it's always the more regular word
Were you two slamming Tequila last night?
and I even looked for 4's earlier.
i don't drink. but i exercised this morning, that might have screwed me up.
I only had half cup of coffee this morning because I did an early tennis.

found another k
found an 8 and 9 pair!
2-2-4-3

I have T SS R KK D CCC P so let me know when you have any ideas on those or need something I have gray.

Eyeore is what you mine out of the corners of your eyes
i'm missing more than you on everything but the S

yep, I made up quite a few
and that without the R
and st7, a past tense, and other st7, a person who
yep
i gots 2 su
probably missing a regular everyday word
do you have the 5 that usually has de- in front of it
yeah, that's the one that has the past tense 7
aha, that's one of mine
so you had the 7 but not the 5?
no, I had the 5 but not the 7
didn't see your post about 7s
oh i thought your yep covered my st7 post
I was yepping the one before

nope, should be in the 70s today I think
70 here right now but a little breezy
np peri
59 here...working our way up...was 74 yesterday
hellp with Middle O and the E beneath it please
I am quite positive I have called someone dorkus more than once in my life. I bet the enable makers heard it in their lives.
still trying to make my way through this board the first time
the middle O is alright and the E is the volcano
found one of the middle O words
still stuck with 10
sheesh ty for those carka
59 here
100 here but I went to exercise class and did errands
lol, peri. I couldn't see the o set either. ruru had to help me.
50 now...and am on the bottom row
and I know carka was a typo, but my cousin used to call me that
okay, gonna call that first pass....44 to go 14-14-12-4
bbl
yeah, I think I had 50 or 60 after first pass. it's a slow burn one. lots of hard to see regular words.
5OFOET
4OFOET
one stubborn C away from 3
there we go...3OFOET
I still need 3 C or I would have 2OFOET
have I mentioned today yet that I dislike K's?
I think hurshy did earlier, but not sure about you.
need 2 k's
they're the most makey-up of made up words
true dat
I still need 3 on S, N, R, D, C and P...so got some work to do there
cross the s off
I am pretty sure I have tried all kombos of 4s and 5s possible on the K's so must be bigger
and the n
what was your S? hurshy & I could not find the last one.
oh, still have 2 more there, meant to get under 3
ohh
but I did find a dr seussian st6
I made up quite a few ST words, so probably have it
6/30
yep
:)
now just need one C to get 2OFOET
same
ooh, found one!
5-8-5-3
2-2-3-2
found another made up k
I have 7 and think 5 are made up words
and the other two are spelling out letters
I have 8 and I think they're all made up
which is dumb
well one isn't, it's a currency so I'll give them that
Estonian currency that hardly anyone knows
true
I don' like C words or K words. Only haveone kword
there's a ka4 and 6 set that is a boxing term, short for knockout, and then for some reason they decided to spell out the letters.
thank you carla
have 4 K words now
not doing well with this grid but will plod along
still just stuck at 9 left but doing other things instead
decided to list. these 2 c's are still a mystery.
just had to type that and then saw them
still 16 to go here
TT SS NN RR K DD CCC PP
well, struggled with the K's too.
and now the P
found a t
and now the R. glad I didn't keep looking for these blind.
I assume you prefer "OK" (short for "oll korrect") to "okay"?
I do use OK more. but honestly had no idea about oll korrect. is that german/
hiya
I just thought okay was the word but ok was the short version
Hi - no there was a weird fad for abbreviations of misspellings when it came into to use
hello everyone - just starting out :)
"OK" started as joke, basically, but somehow caught on
weird, thanks
The spelled-out version of the knockout word probably came into use because it's easier to use as a verb (rather than "KOed" or "KO'ed")
it was probably invented by the scrabble folks to have more k words. like za.
yes i just heard of za. ridic
well, it's also really 'za, so when did scrabble start allowing words with apostrophes too?
beats me. i no longer play
my son & I occasionally play scrabble when he visits and I used to have the 2 letters memorized, but we agree to be able to use the 2 letter list and I think they've added a lot.
Well, I think "kayo" has been used legitimately as a word in the past, but it doesn't help that all of the examples of its use given by dictionary.com are in some other language.
And I think some other words that should have apostrophes have made it into Scrabble, although possibly by accident (e.g. "'twas", short for "it was")
But "za" does sound pretty suspect
K words do seem to be pretty weird in general
Definitely not my favorite letter
not liking this grid at all - 2's 0 minutes and only 99 words, no 8, no 9 and one 7
darn keyboard is sticking on me again
I recently popped a batch of keys off mine and cleared out a surprising amount of gunk - it's working a lot better now (especially the space bar)
Probably easier just to buy a new keyboard, though
(the space bar was trickier to put back on than I'd anticipated, but I managed it)
One of the 8/9 pairs is pretty ordinary, but a bit twisty. The other is slightly unusual spelling of the same.
You could say that they are hard to de6
rehi - I need to take my macbook to apple. they will clean the keyboard and it's gross right now.
An excellent eco-friendly alternative
I think nan has left the chat, however
elvis has left the building
intrlerk
hi again - yes, I did leave the chat
of course i had the less-ordinary of the two do6-7 combos...
wish that top o was an a -- a lot of -tion words then
no that wouldn't work either! the s needs to be an a
there wouldn't be any, actually, lol
jinx
think I need to go to the chat from last night to see what the 8's and 9's are
or i can tell ya
they are all de
alt sps of each other, singulars and plurals. a quartet, you might say.
ty hurshy
yw
still need k x3 - suspect they are "words" never seen or heard of before
morning nan
oh, hurshy, g'day
hi rose
would you like a hand with those k words?
sure -- have ka x2, ko, kr x2,
guess I need 4 more
kr 5, how Bing Crosby sang, with a k instead of a c
then add a vowel for kr 6
had the 5, ty for the 6
ka 4, what it is called when a boxer is punched unconscious, ka 6, past tense
have those, ty
kr 5, slow and very quiet walking, but spelled with a k
see that christopher robin's friend is in the grid
ty again
hi all, diving in, doink doink
nbs woot
nbt at last
