Can't find the old WU thread, so I'll just make a new one

I got my first jackpot in ages on a WS in Yates, Leicester Square today!

Even got top-score with "Quizzings" too.

Two surprises there!

To be honest, I didn't think "quizzings" would claim both top slots . . . And it didn't. Bubbliness was longest.

my second rate intellect has to date only managed 1 ten letter word :equestrian for 230 odd, i was chuffed a bit ,but after seeing some of the words that maestros like isty ,fotherz, bob and others come out with it pales into insignificance.

btw wtf is wrong with SAXON?

Nothing at all wrong with Saxon. Ride Like The Wind was my favourite.

i preferred 'and the bands played on' but soup does'nt like this word for some unknown reason :x

Because it's a proper noun.

Surprised that anywhere in Central London was kind enough to give out an easy jackpot... new machine? I guess so, judging by QUIZZINGS making it to the top.

Couldn't have been that new - Istenem was already on the scoresheet.

yes, i have been to that pub. the publican there is very charming and always stops for a chat when i go in occasionally.

in other news, soup doesn't like ZOCCHIHEDRONS

(nor ZOCCHIHEDRA for what it's worth.)

you'd like to think that everyday words like 'zocchihedrons' would be included ,i was rather upset that craps(another dice related word) was also disallowed,albeit for a couple of points less than your word.

Think of it as a chance to get a big word.

...which gives me a hook to claim CONSEQUENTIALITIES (756) - not a record breaker (though Ernest's tables suggests it's not been done before) but very close to one. Was there an I and N close to the C ? Yes. Did I mess it up ? Yes.
