Nice one, Nil Satis, send it to Ernest and he'll put it up somewhere.

Will do. Is it just me, though, or does the second part of that sentence sound incredibly rude?

Any of you lot visited Grimsby recently?

QUIZZICALITIES (I think that was the spelling) appeared on one of our Town centre pubs Gamesnet last night. Over 700 points. Unheard of in the cultural backwater that is Grimsby.....

Fan clubs are sprouting up everywhere.

maybe there will be more threads devoted to the game started soon.

i still have one word UP left and it is cherished as a sacred relic.
i don't dare clear the board in case it gets removed for something disappointing. but i do keep an eye on it; the landlord is often playing it when i walk by late for work.

this terminal belongs in a museum but Word Up (as was) embodies all that can be good in a word game: simple but tricky, frustrating but enjoyable. however, more than anything, it is edifying.
soup might be edificational (which scores more in numbers) but it is not a word. it can never be a word.

Maybe you should start a new thread with a poll asking whether people prefer the Soup or the original.

I'm sure that would go down well!

good idea Your Eminence, but i will wait until the next time i am sloshed in front of a computer (sunday) so i can be less coherent.
i should be banned from posting on here after midnight.

ops:

MATRICULATOR, CONCESSIONIST

(insert your own witty higher education gag here) just as well my degree was in hula-hooping.

In the saddo department, WS appeared to reject QAIMAQAM as a valid word today.

Really? We've had it before.

Then again, QIS is not always allowed. Is there a different wordlist for some machines?

cp999 · Post by **cp999** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 10:37 am

QIS is rejected by the generally current version. Maybe you had QAIMAQAM on the preceding version which accepted QIS. I definitely wasn't imagining it

It still takes QAT, of course, and also QIVIUT, iirc. Not sure about QOPH, haven't played that for a while.
