Nice. Thanks for playing Jeff.

Erroneous (2 better than yesterday!)

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Nice Richard, but it’s a different game today. Did you read the instructions?

You can't repeat endings/suffixes like "er" or "s", and can't reuse root words (greasy, greasiest). You still got lots of words though.

Instructions? Oh, if I must!

Tigers writers wright sinuses humans grater trainer shiner

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Hi Charley, "wright, sinuses, humans and tigers" are all fine, as well as one of the other words "grater, trainer, shiner and writers" all share a suffix. Can't reuse a suffix.

"waiter" (6)

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Hi. I don't think you read the instructions. It's a different game.

feprit.bsky.social•11 days ago

I guess "heresy" is also out then, because the "y" is a suffix?

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

I don't think the "y" in "heresy" is a suffix, but if it were, you could still use "heresy." you just can't reuse the same suffix. For example, "boater" (boat) and "toaster" (toast) both use the same "er" suffix, which isn't allowed.

feprit.bsky.social•11 days ago

What do you mean by "reuse"? I only played the one word, "waiter." How am I reusing a suffix?

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

You said “heresy” is not allowed because “y” is a suffix. In reply, I was explaining it’s only a problem if you “reuse” a suffix.

Nicely done, Konrad. "Traeger" and "Macher" repeat an ending. Thanks for playing.

Honors
Humors

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Nice. Thanks for playing. You can’t reuse a suffix (honors and humors both use the plural “s”)

suzannelori.bsky.social•11 days ago

Duh! Used 2 be pretty good at boggle. Now like Wordle.

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Don't worry.So many people have made the same mistake. I don't usually think about words in terms of prefixes and suffixes.

drnatureali.bsky.social•11 days ago

About one minute and 40 something. Just not sure if we can use plurals? Apart from that it’s a fun game.

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Can’t reuse a suffix. Rogues and grimes reuse the plural “s.” But “writes” is ok because the “s” isn’t the plural. Thanks for playing.

drnatureali.bsky.social•11 days ago

It was writer!!

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Ok, then it’s fine.

drnatureali.bsky.social•11 days ago

Thank you for offering the game.

drnatureali.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh I thought how much time to six words sorry!

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

Funny.

drnatureali.bsky.social•11 days ago

I make connections in my brain and depending on what I see I kind of make sense of it as it « clicks ». It never really is about the performance it’s about the story, unless it’s ranked or it really matters then we try and optimize obviously.

I try to give as much info to give stuff to relate to!

drnatureali.bsky.social•11 days ago

For example I started exactly when it hit « 15:02 » to make it easier for me to count.

michaelmitchell.bsky.social•11 days ago

I do the same thing.
