You mean the same habit that got us a 175 max on Friday?Elliott Mellor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:24 pm Some horrible selections today - no doubt due to mass consonant picking.
Meh, it's still a fact that a lot of rounds have been strangled due to picking 6 consonants without fruitful vowels.Johnny Canuck wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:32 pmYou mean the same habit that got us a 175 max on Friday?Elliott Mellor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:24 pm Some horrible selections today - no doubt due to mass consonant picking.
The only beater today was DUELLIST/GUILLETS -- did anyone here max the DUELLIST round?
I have been frustrated at the end of some rounds- e.g. what I said yesterday, though if I were to go on, I would probably pick at least 5 consonants. (4 at a very minimum).Elliott Mellor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 7:08 pmMeh, it's still a fact that a lot of rounds have been strangled due to picking 6 consonants without fruitful vowels.Johnny Canuck wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:32 pmYou mean the same habit that got us a 175 max on Friday?Elliott Mellor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:24 pm Some horrible selections today - no doubt due to mass consonant picking.

You mean you wouldn't pick 3 consonants at all!? Would you ever do 7?Tom S wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 7:19 pmI have been frustrated at the end of some rounds- e.g. what I said yesterday, though if I were to go on, I would probably pick at least 5 consonants.

Not necessarily, horrible should be taken to mean unfruitful here.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 7:56 pmAnd six smalls...Elliott Mellor wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 6:24 pm Some horrible selections today - no doubt due to mass consonant picking.
(Actually I don't mind six smalls, but are difficult rounds always a bad thing?)
And the 6 small was easier by far than the 2 1L numbers rounds that had come before it, one of them being impossibleGavin Chipper wrote: ↑Tue Jan 23, 2018 7:56 pm
