Ah, alright then. Going by the shorter ODE all the letters are in, which makes me wonder if there's a selection where 1 is the max. Is there a list of valid 2 letter Countdown words? (I've seen plenty for Scrabble, but obviously that's a bit different) But would you actually learn them? If you can'...

In a fit of spastic typing I offered "J" in rd 21 of yesterday's duel, and was awarded a point. Admittedly not the biggest bug in the world, and my offering of "freeseas" (it's FREESIAS :x ) was rightly disallowed so I doubt there's a larger issue. Unless J is actually in the OD...

My dad said he wanted to play against me but he couldn't sign up as he needed a sign up key. What is this sign up key? You can pm direct if need be - just let me know when you've done it and so I can tell him to come online and check!

AFAIK FAO *** on a public forum post is supposed to mean that you particularly want that person to read it, not that everyone else should butt out. Privacy is what PMs and emails are for.

Nice one that we can now read other people's games - but I noticed I could read other people's Duellist games. If this is possible to read *before* people actually have a go at the daily duel then this is obviously unfair. I'm not sure if this is possible though.

Me again - sorry to be a pain. Just playing D o D and it asked me to declare my word - I had 2 words listed but no box popped up to ask me which to click on. As a result, the game could not proceed. David told me his screen just said "waiting for Kirk to declare". Here's my console: Clock ...

I'm not so sure. Just did round 4 and apparently Dinos' screen for declaring was blank so I declared 8 and he didn't declare anything.

Brilliant. Electra is obviously the other alternative but I prefer 3 + 4i myself so it will have an integer modulus of 5.

Kirk Bevins

For the numbers game, if you declare one away it forces you to get the target regardless and says you declared the target when you didn't. As a result if you don't get the target spot on you will always get 0 points.

Griddlers are better puzzles than Sudokus (that focus on grids and boxes ). Sudokus are so outdated IMO .

Conundrum bug number 2:

After winning the conundrum (I've not experienced losing it yet

) the main screen does not have SUBTLEBIB -> BUBBLIEST (C1 on 3.4 seconds) as it used to.

I just had BOLASES disallowed and BOLAS is in as a noun [treated as sing or pl]. Hmmm

Conundrum bug:

I clicked next round for the conundrum and eagerly awaited it. Nothing. Why not? It HAD happened but it came up as a tab on the bottom and not displayed on the main screen and therefore I missed it.

I was just playing the conundrum game and it kept freezing every so often - I think after Stitcher got an answer wrong and backspaced. This was this afternoon so I think the problem still lies.
