Stems
Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2008 7:53 pm
Following on from the new apterous feature, I thought I'd start a new thread so people can share any stems they use to remember obscure words. A couple of examples I use is SPRINGY BULL for LOCATES/LACTOSE/ALECOST endings and POW AMUSING for BANISTER endings. I know there's also the 7 letters words that are never the maximum that were on the corral and I remember Dinos saying that you can add any vowel to PRORATES to get a 9 letter word.
I find these really help to improve and I was wondering if you have any others to share or whether you just go about learning any words you come across or you're just good at countdown. I appreciate some people might find this a bit of a boring thread but the reason why I go on here anyway is to try and improve my Countdown skills. Different methods for improving doesn't seem to be a topic that is touched on that often.
Oh yeah, and wasn't there something on the podcast about techniques for 4 large?
Wow this is by far the longest post I've ever done
