Discuss anything that happened in recent games. This is the place to post any words you got that beat Dictionary Corner, or numbers games that evaded Rachel.

FLAMBEAU to beat FUMBLED.

Quite a simple conundrum today -- just stick the A in the front of the scramble and you've got it. Admittedly, the word itself wasn't the easiest though.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

OWARRI. I hadn't heard of that spelling before. There are many names/spelling variations - AWARI, WARI, OWARE, AWALE, MANCALA, BANTUMI just to name a few. There are also many variations of the game itself. It seems the distinction between a variation and a distinct game (played with the same basic equipment) isn't clear-cut.
