aside from all those 7s and 8s, I gotta say that this puzzle sucks. :P

AMEN eyezzz!!
1:11 am
AlyMac
Do you all use dictionaries or something?? Are you all Scrabble devotees?
1:13 am
eyezzz
Not that I'm a top scorer or anything even close to that .... I only use an online dictionary to check the words the puzzle accepts that I've never heard of ;P
1:15 am
AlyMac
you mean you see a word in the puzzle that looks like it might be a REAL word and so you type it in to said dictionary to see if you are right??
1:16 am
eyezzz
I'll type in letters that look like they might be a word. If it is then the puzzle will accept it and add to my list. Then I can click on the "?" next to the word to get the meaning.
1:18 am
4t8
*after trying a few more unsuccessfully...
if it makes you feel better: when i stop for the night, you can usu. multiply it by 3 or 4 and get the poss. # of words for the day. the words can be so hard to see, even when i know 'em!
1:20 am
AlyMac
eyezzz-
But how does that help you find more words? I have one or two now that I have no clue what their meaning is.
1:21 am
AlyMac
4t8-
I'm not sure I understand what you said....multiply what number by 3 or 4?

Oh, that doesn't help me find the words. I was just saying when I use the dictionary. Sometimes people give clues here and that helps me find the words. Sometimes it's just blind luck ;)
1:25 am
4t8
oh i am an addict! clicked back before logging off for the night. :D
if i end the night at 1000 or 600/1200 whatever, there are usually 3000, 1800/3600 words to be found. (i generally blab them) this one's hard, so i'm not betting on over 2500...btw, where are you at now bulldog?
1:26 am
AlyMac
oh shoot eyezzz...I thought you were giving me some sort of magical idea that would make me a babble star! Oh well...back to the searching!
1:27 am

4t8...
OH! got it....
I still can't find any more words and I'm stumped on the 7's and 8's you all found so fast.
1:30 am

hint: look at possible short word endings, then put in the m's, working backwards.
1:30 am

sorry, can't think, was really unclear - short suffixes.

Thanks for the hints but I think my brain is just too tired tonight. I'll try again in the morning I think...just sitting here staring at a bunch of letters is doing me no good!

But lots of time left ~ which could be a bad thing :D
2:44 am

The musical term refers to the study of playing a particular instrument, it is not a common word
2:48 am
twinangel
That clue couldn't be anymore vague than the first one. Hmmm....will have to search harder.
2:51 am
bulldog
one who plays in an --ist for example I play clarinet so I am a clarinettist. The study of playing clarinet would be; if there is such a term: Clarinetism find an instrument and try different endings.

yiddish head - yes - there is a person/people who have a program that runs "stats" - they will appear in the log - I don't think they have been on lately - they tell you how many possible words, points, words starting with which letter, etc. To see all words found, u can click on archives and look at the previous day/s' puzzle/s. Was that confusing?
