10:36 am

rururocks

tomorrow's will be 24 words

10:43 am

MollyL

Really? Qu is a two letter tile? I never knew that. *Wipes dripping sarcasm off the grid.

hello all

11:23 am

MollyL

Close. Yesterday was 84.

11:24 am

periwinkle

ok

11:24 am

periwinkle

maybe a big grid tomorrow, over 250

11:26 am

MollyL

We are due to get slammed with a 400 + grid after all these little ones.

11:26 am

rururocks

tomorrow's grid is 24 words :D

11:26 am

MollyL

It is nice for us working people when the bigger ones come on the weekend.

11:27 am

MollyL

Ru, I am going to laugh if it really is 24 words.

11:27 am

rururocks

ok.. if you say so :D

11:27 am

rururocks

bigger ones are more fun on the weekend I guess

11:27 am

bichon

ty Chris

11:28 am

rururocks

it's actually chop suey but that was a good clue ChrisP

11:31 am

MollyL

Although the pigs you were calling with the so5/14 would probably like some chop suey

11:44 am

rururocks

not if they have MSG allergies :D

11:46 am

MollyL

Considering what they eat (everything) I don't think pigs are allergic to anything
