I kind of feel like hoping on a plane and waking up in London. It's aa city I knew well 50 years ago, saw again 20 years ago, and still knew my way around. %) years ago, 2 friends and I hitched through South Wales. I called my mother from a red phone booth as you will see in London, still set up for American soldiers to call home for free in WWII. I asked my mother if I could go to Paris, and she said "can't you be happy you're in London? You have your whole life ahead of you.." And I listened to her. So I didn't get to Paris for 30 more years. Dumb.
12:51 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I recently saw my grandkids who are almost 5 and 1 and a half. They were dancing 9-5 and Time Warp. I told my daughter I saw Rocky Horror on stage. In London. In 1975. Her jaw dropped. Yes, dear, I had a life before you.

Kaplan the Magne
gotta get on Zoom for a client. Maybe bbl, maybe not.
12:52 pm
Nef
Ah, but you got there later. That’s what counts. I’venever traveled to Europe, life didn’t work out that way, but I “travel” through books & such.
12:57 pm
Kaplan the Magne
I now prefer to travel through books. My husband and kids travel more easily, and I realize that I've been to a lot of places. Venice, Rome, Amsterdam and the Netherlands as a whole, Cape Town, Kenya, the Caymans, Segovia and Barcelona. And lastly, Havana. I can't believe it..Oh, and extensive time in Israel, another topic entirely. My husband's family were travelers. My dad's only experience was being in the Persian Gulf Command in WWII, and then he travelled a bit with my mom before she died, and after she died. My mother's first plane trip was in her 50s. She passed away at 60. GTG.

You can go to sleep even if you don't get those words.
7:05 pm
mkg
shocked that no one has sent a clue yet. hmmm.
7:09 pm
MollyL
Maybe try morewords.com to look for your words
7:16 pm
mkg
too mahy to filter through. sorry.
7:18 pm
rbud
have you figured out that you can make a list of excluded letters and filter by those in morewords? I love that about it.
7:18 pm
MollyL
If you use Lickety's list in conjunction with morewords you don't have too many to filter. You have the first two letters of each word.
7:19 pm
mkg
got el 4! corner e. ty anyway
7:19 pm
mkg
molly ty. dont know how to do that but for tonight i am too tired. goint to sleep soon.
7:20 pm
rbud
you put in what you want, like im---, and then follow with a ^, then the letters that are NOT in the grid, and it shortens the results immensely.
7:21 pm
MollyL
No matter. The goal of this game is to find as many words as YOU can find. Not as many words as others find for you.
7:21 pm
rbud
today's would be, as an example, im---^bfgkpquvwxz
7:22 pm
Trifioso
Where is that rule written?
7:30 pm
rbud
It used to be on the main morewords page, and I started doing it years ago. Helps so much. Haven't seen it lately on the site, but it still works, I'm doing it right now.
7:31 pm
rbud
I do, however, still use old.morewords.com, not sure if the newer part of their site does it the same way, haven't tried it.
7:32 pm
rbud
If you didn't mean what I said as the "rule", I get that, but my info's still useful, haha.
7:49 pm
mkg
well I got the E and S words. but the two i words for those i's still missing. off for the night.
8:41 pm
rbud
yay, fw! laters, all.
