    Was trying to type tsareviches. How the extra es got typed, haven't a clue.

    Oh well...

    thank you clumsy fingers.

    cracks me up.

    That's amazing Naboka. I think I said more or less the same thing some many months ago, but I feel like I remember being competitive with you at a point in time, but you improved markedly with light-speed, and I've been reduced to an also-ran on any boards that you've played. You have superb both typing and word finding skills. The words I play are typically 3-7 letters and reasonably common, and getting 8+ letter plus words is a victory for me. Meanwhile, you've moved on and find words like tsareviches (which the forum flags as a misspelling by the way :O) ). I wish I had your skills!

      Thanks for the kind words.

      • lalatan I just cobbled together a word with no expectation that it would work, but it did, and then I found that you had found it first! Not that I'm too surprised that you did, but I'd really like to know... Did you also just cobble together some likely components, or is the word ANTIHYPERTRITONS in your active vocabulary??

        • I never heard or saw the word before I tried it, kate. I used the same method as you. Based on some of the words I've seen played by usernames I never saw before its use now seems to be widespread...

          • I got ANAMNESTICALLY, even though I couldn't remember what it meant.

              I feel parasympathetic.

              • Somehow RIOTISE is an actual word.

                • A loanword I didn't expect to get points for: EGUSI. I'm never sure what food loanwords will count and which ones won't.
