Today's game with Dinos

Post by Jason Larsen »

There was both a good and a bad thing about my game today with Dinos.

The bad thing was that the word TUMOR was disallowed. I don't know why.

The good news was that I got my very first Conundrum! It was POWWOWING!

Unfortunately TUMOR is the American spelling and therefore not allowed :(. TUMOUR is the allowed spelling.

Well done Jason. Admittedly I was all over the place for parts of that game! Was your chat working. I was trying to talk to you cause you're a funny guy, but to no avail.

Joseph, thank you for letting me know that TUMOR is the American spelling of the word!

Dinos, I can't get my chat box to work! I told Charlie about this, but apparently he doesn't know how to fix the problem!

Great game, Jason! You scored brilliantly, some great words. Most of us would lose to Dinos, certainly me.
Congratulations on getting the conundrum, too. :)
Pity about TUMOR, since a second U was there.

Ian:

I feel like I don't know you well enough to play against you on Apterous.

If you would very kindly direct me to your introductory post, I would feel more comfortable playing against you.

Yes, Ian!

Thank you for showing me your introductory post!

By the way, Series 65 seems like a long way off! Do you think Jeff and Rachel will be on Countdown then?

When we play our first game together, then I won't be surprised if you play Countdown so well and Dinos won't feel very alone!
