I can't think of that many words!

11:14 am

moolingwa

started playing competitive scrabble back in the late 90s

11:15 am

moolingwa

well there's a lot of "words" that you probably wouldn't know unless you play word games a lot...and even then, I'm still finding new words

11:16 am

moolingwa

I find you can guess some words, because they sound like they might be words

11:16 am

cherlyq

1:05 pm

moolingwa

there's two that are perhaps a bit trickier, but not ridiculous ones that we haven''t had before

1:06 pm

5:27 pm

hokie carla

5:37 pm

moolingwa

the et7 was in yesterday's board too

5:37 pm

hokie carla

does the arabic h's have the high point?

5:37 pm

moolingwa

I haven't finished a grid in days

5:38 pm

moolingwa

I had one last week I think

5:38 pm

moolingwa

I got that 33 word one, which wasn't long ago

5:38 pm

hokie carla

me too, without any help!

5:39 pm

moolingwa

maybe had a couple over the last week or so...don't really keep track of finishing

5:39 pm

hokie carla

I usually finish with list if I get into the 20s, but I'm not listing with 50 left. too much work.

5:40 pm

moolingwa

did you get the i words?

5:40 pm

hokie carla

nope, did you see my comment about them?

5:41 pm

moolingwa

oh, then you need the two i7s

5:41 pm

moolingwa

one to place below the soil

5:41 pm

moolingwa

and then the other one sounds like someone who lists things off

5:42 pm

moolingwa

I read the comment and then I think one of my daughter's friends knocked on the door, so I got distracted

5:42 pm

hokie carla

I have no idea 🤣😭
