For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

hmm, okay, you're four hours ahead, right? That should be...... 4:30PM for you. (I think) And by no means do you have to have all 10 words before you can turn it in, simply turn in as many as you find and you'll earn 1k for every correct word. :)

ok, well i'm gonna have a real go at it now. if i turn it in before i go to bed tonite, but find more before the deadline can i turn in the additional words i find?

(and it's usefeul for me to remember, 4 hours ahead :))

Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:19 pm

Nope, I have to have all the words together, sorry. Don't worry if you don't get them turned in right away, I'll probably give it until about 5PM anyway. ;)

ok. quick question. which directions can the words go. obviously across and down. how about backward, diagonnaly and up? so i know what to look for...

Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:36 pm

up, down, sideways, diagonally, and every backward version thereof. ;) Basically, any way that two letters can be connected.

Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:41 pm

ok cool. i assume all in straight lines?

is it a bad thing i've found 12 words? and can't see how they're linked???

Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:43 pm

Hm, 12 words.... I'll go over your card, and let you know which words aren't supposed to be there. You did disregard all 3-letter words, right?

Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:47 pm

yup. at present i've found 14 words of 4 letters or longer... :S i think we should get extra np just for that! lol :)

Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:48 pm

lol not a bad idea. :P I went over them all, but apparently I missed a few.... I should have a list of words not included in a few minutes. ;)

*Edit* Okay, some words can make other words if you read them backwards.... while I'm going over the card, check your words to see if maybe one of them is actually part of another word. ;)

you want me to PM you the list i have, and you can tell me which ones aren't included? i'm now on 15...

Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:51 pm

Yeah, that should be fine.... looking at the card, though, I think I know which ones you found..... like I said, you might want to make sure those words aren't other words backwards. I'll be going off-line right now, so it'll be a while before I'm able to get back to you. If I can't get back to you before tomorrow, I'll just count your card complete. :)

This should also be a good time to add, if anyone finds more than 10, PM me and I'll tell you which ones aren't supposed to be on there.

ok, some make up other words, so when i pm you my list i'll inclue both, incase they weren't supposed to make up another word (just in case).

ignoring words that make up other words i still have 13, and they're all in the dictionary....

Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:03 pm

Alright, I'm online now, how much time is left?

Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:09 pm

LOADS!!! :)

anyway, i'm going to PM you my answers now amarise. i've found 12 words which aren't part of others (that i can see). i'll also include the other words that i found, just in case. my total is 19. i'm gonna stop looking now :)

Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:13 pm
