Elfstone Guild Master Posts : 5892 Joined: 4 NOV 2002 Status : Online	There's a nice game on this site called Quiddler. There are 16 cards on 8 stacks (that means a front and a back deck). You have to clear those by constructing words. There are some special like TH, IN, ER, CL and QU sometimes. Get the highest score possible. It's somewhat pointless to get it, because most of the time the top ten is crowded already by the time I get there (different time zone) and anyways...it's much too hard for me. I thought we could start a little daily game. Maybe not every day, but on a regular basis. Rules: Find words from these cards with at least 6 letters. You can click "Today's School Worksheet" below the cards to see which cards are in the back deck. Maybe we will reduce it to at least 7 letters, but it usually isn't that easy. Don't use an anagram engine! That's just boring. It would be best if you come up with longest words possible or hard words. Like those involving a Q without a U (there seem to be very few of those). Doesn't apply this time, but you get the point. If you reach the daily high score feel free to post your winning words. For starters, I post a list of words I found. I spent quite a lot of time today, so it might be a bit too much (keep in mind it's rather easy today): depart detail dialer jitter lapdog latter letter litter opiate petrol pirate polite portal pitter potter raptor retail tailor teapot topdog triple adaptor/adapter/adapted/adopted agitate gloated jeopard leopard partial patriot petitor pirated platter/platted plotter/plotted treated trotter/trotted agitated plagiate polaroid littered radiated radiator gladiator plagiated [b]playing[/b]: Destination Treasure Island (done in two sittings, but it's nice), Syberia (ho-hum), Dracula: Last Sanctuary (on hold)&&[b]reading[/b]: even more study papers&&[b]listening to[/b]: [url=http://www.last.fm/user/Brax82/]this and that[/url], plus [url=http://www.musicovery.com/]Musicovery[/url]&&[b]TV favorites[/b]: (currently) Pushing Daisies, Chuck, Journeyman (cancelled! grrr...), Heroes&& all-time) 24, Stargate SG1, X-Files, Lost, House

Elfstone Guild Master Posts : 5892 Joined: 4 NOV 2002 Status : Online	Yes, like I said, 6 may be too much this time. It's usually much harder. Out of interest, how many words with Q but no U can anyone name? The Q can be anywhere in the word, but it must not be followed by U.

Elfstone Guild Master Posts : 5892 Joined: 4 NOV 2002 Status : Online	Amazing! I figured out "qat" by accident. And I knew "suq". But that's it. Ok, technically those could work, too: req deq seq ceq But they are not accepted. Whatever, the database of that game isn't perfect. When I started going there I could have built "Xanadu", but it won't accept it. Maybe cause it's sort of a title, but it isn't really. It's in the dictionaries. Defined as an expression.

Elfstone Guild Master Posts : 5892 Joined: 4 NOV 2002 Status : Online	*Originally Posted By BacardiJim (9 APR 2004 1:49am)* Xanadu is a proper noun, no matter its usage. Perhaps that's why it isn't accepted? I guess. But there are some other common words missing I think. Can't remember them right now. However, it accepts "daikering" for instance. Never heard that before and it's hard to find. Seems to be a Scottish word.

I don't actually play the Quiddler game. I don't surf the web with Java, Javascript, or any plugins, so the games are usually off-limits for me. I just try to find any words from the letters that you didn't. The more you get, the harder it potentially is for me. It is still fun though. My results for today: 7 letters abstain, aqueous, baroque, bastion, bemoans, bequest, boaster, clamber, cliques, closure, equates, equator, ermines, esquire, manacle, marinas, marquee, minutes, minutia, monster, numbers, quantum, querist, quorums, reclaim, request, sequent, timbers, treacle, tribune 8 letters banister, barnacle, boutique, clambers, equators, manacles, marinate, marquees, minister, minotaur, minutiae, monsieur, numerate, obstacle, quatrain, reclaims, ruminate, sclerite, sequitur, treacles, tribunes 9 letters abstainer, barnacles, boutiques, marinates, minotaurs, numerates, obsequent, quatrains, ruminates 10 letters equestrian, squamation, tabernacle 11 letters reclamation, tabernacles 12 letters reclamations

Well, "nth" is one of the Quiddler things you just should know about. (short word list). Longest words (10 letters) antichrist (on Easter Monday... ) dynamistic ministrant (is there a theme here?) Today: Highscore is 117, that's all letters (97 points) plus an eight-letter-word bonus of +20 I'd say. I still haven't figured out what that "cut-off line" (107 today) might be. My score: 109 (for the first time in the Top Ten right now) -6 letters- intern rather rotund tinder tinker tundra winner winter wonder worker -7 letters- drinker thinker thrower tracker trucker -8 letters- intruder -10 letters- introducer Quite poor work today, can't think straight.
