    You did well after a dismal start. I still only had two letters after my third go. Congrats to Mrs Oldskool.

    It is so easy to do. One of my sons did exactly the same today as I have in the past. Before I press the button now I check for letters in a slot previously excluded, letters that are known not to be needed, all known letters are included.

    I have mentioned earlier that the allowed words may not conform to standard English but one allowed today would be regarded by most of us as bad English. I will elucidate tomorrow.

    You're so organised and systematic. I spend five minutes throwing all sorts of words onto the screen and if some stick, that's great :p.

    I had the answer after 15 minutes but then spent the next three quarters of an hour convincing myself that there were no other permutations that were worth considering. AAARGH :joy:

    P.S. the word that was allowed yesterday that is not standard or US English was BRUNG.

    I used to be pleased if I got it at all. Now Mrs Oldskool is in on the act and it’s a race to get it in the least rows and least time. I lost on both counts today with a 4, whilst she got it in a fluky 3 ..
    But she started whilst I made the tea and coffee ….so I’m claiming a speed win and a number of lines loss. My letters were more squarely aligned in the boxes as well….or so I told her…:joy:
    Coffee still hot..

    But you did make it. Well done.

    FYI there are 2,135 words in the allowable list. :scream:

    It’s a real word, it describes the noise in your head when you’ve been in a swimming pool and have gone to the change-rooms... after stooping to remove your costume, when you stand up straight and hit your head on a metal locker door that has been carelessly left open!

    With three letters including one in the right place after my first two salvos I thought it was going to be a quick one.

    Not so, it took an hour as I had at least 7 possible words.
