That is cool. How does she play midi without touching it?

That's how a theremin works, the distance between the hand and the upright pole controls pitch, and the distance between the other hand and the loop controls the volume.
It sounds like halfway between a violin and the human voice, so sometimes you don't realise what you're hearing.
I believe it's part of the Star Trek theme as well.
And have a look at this:

I was thinking Wizard of Oz because of the Ooo-ee-oooo ... you know when the Dorothy is locked into the witches castle, that's the music that plays ...

Not a particularly high-scoring word, but I was glad to be the first to find a THEREMIN on a recent board.

Ooo-eee-oooooo Eee-oo-eeeeeee... (Guess the theme tune!)

LEMONIZING and LEMONIZE, where were shots in the dark that panned out.

As per online dictionaries, "lemonize" = "to add or apply lemon to"...

Not really a favorite word, just one a looooooong time coming. I finally played THALASSOGRAPHERS yesterday. crazykate found it 5-6 years ago. I made a point of memorizing it and have waited ever since then. Now I can erect a tombstone of remembrance here and be done with it. Still waiting since I started playing for AMELIORATIONS or some variant like OVERAMELIORATIONS to make it worth keeping. But, no rush, lots of others to find in the meantime.

COURANTE. I think I should listen to some Bach now.

With the influx of new boards comes new words to enjoy.

Have tried to play hedon before. It's a theoretical measure of pleasure. Not sure how many hedons this find provides, but certainly enough to light a smile visible from the other side of the mountain.

Also new( I'm pretty sure) is irideous, . We have hundreds of iris along the pathways and ponds. One of our favorite.

A classic long word....finally found it. QUINQUAGINTACENTILLIONTHS

[DrPlacebo]

SOCCERING is a word, which seems like an appropriate discovery on the eve of the World Cup. (And I've done a lot of it myself -- former college soccer player, and continued playing in amateur leagues for more than a decade afterward.)

That's great to hear - thanks bwt213!

Chrome/Windows 10. Main game board, not the legacy one. The problem is that the issue is intermittent. For me, it seems to have been happening every three or four games. I haven't seen the problem on the Linux Mint machine running FireFox, but I don't like the keyboard as much on that machine and don't play as often there. I will let you know if the problem goes away, but it will take some time to be relatively sure that it has.

The problem with the entry window losing focus seems to have been fixed, at least on this machine. I've played at least 30 games and the problem has not recurred. If I see it again, I will let you know. But it seems fixed. Thanks!

Hi kittencaboodle - can you email me a screenshot the next time you see this happen? I just tried to replicate this on my (admittedly extremely outdated) MacBook Air / Safari and neither time did the board rearrange itself after a very long word was played. So seeing it in action via screenshot will be a big help toward tracking down the source of the problem. Thank you!

It's not a very frequent occurrence but I'll try and remember if and when there's a next time. Thank you!
