"what if one concentrated on longer UR words and set a goal of averaging over 10 PPW with at least 80 words played?"


The 5x5 game is easier for that kind of goal. I tried to go over 800 and came up a little short. But I did go over 10 ppw.

Guessing this is the least number of words I've needed to get over 800.

Got my imagination working:

"what if one concentrated on longer UR words and set a goal of averaging over 10 PPW with at least 80 words played?"

Hmmmm.

Managed to do the red board challenge: all UR words with at least a hundred played. That was interesting.

Hmmm.

Nothing like a goal to add meaningless meaning to a meaninglessly meaningful life.

Almost like adding parkour to Wordtwist.

The plural of kimono is not KIMONI.

Only because the ancient Romans never made it to Japan.

As much as physicists may talk about spherical cows in a vacuum, there is no such thing as an ANTICOW.

EDIT: On the other hand I just discovered on a separate board that NONCOW and NONCOWS are words.

On the other hand, apparently MICROBLOGGING is a thing.

The guy in my apartment complex with the obnoxiously loud car subwoofers isn't listening to anything with MEGABASS.

No such thing as a METAPHONE, whatever that might be.

It is what I use to call up Mark Zuckerberg when when I want to discuss the concepts of identity, being, space and time.

The World Series taco-ization of America continues

Published in Mass Live October 23, 2008. Darn those hyphens. The headline was written by Dan Lamothe.

The fusion taco place in my neighborhood is not engaging in TACOIZATION of other cuisines...

In case you've ever wondered, NECROTHERAPY is not a thing.

...yet.

Considering some of the methods and products out there that people have come up with and are trying to sell to gullible consumers, I wouldn't be surprised...

In case you ever find yourself wondering whether a "sandalmonger" exists... no, they don't. But if you ever find the word on a board, there's probably a C right next to it.

Thanks for this tip. I wondered if SANDALIZES was a word, and then noticed the C next to it.

Ah, the Yugo! The car that required a driver and three passengers. One person to steer and the three passengers to push the car up hills.
