11:21 am

nrkii

ly5 was my last L... my 4 are TT S and bottom S
looking for that bottom S now based on your clue

11:21 am

hokie carla

prob both Ts are TH6, but there are a few suspects there

11:23 am

hokie carla

your upper S might be an SU5, there are two odd ones but we've seen them before

11:23 am

nrkii

I have 6 th words

11:23 am

hokie carla

yes, there are 8

11:23 am

hokie carla

I know, it's really hard to play when no one is chatting

11:30 am

moolingwa

yep, much duller

11:30 am

nrkii

I can usually get to 90% before I look at the chat, sometimes 80%, but then the chat is so much more fun for those last words than the list

11:31 am

hokie carla

oh, enjoy(?)!

11:31 am

hokie carla

agreed, I could list and look up words, but more fun to work together

11:31 am

moolingwa

I agree three :)

11:31 am

nrkii

Heh, yeah. I've been out of work since March 15. I was really starting to enjoy the extra sleep and I have no idea how I'll ever get stuff done when I have to be working during the day.
