TRUANCY is a mass noun in ODP, although there is debate on whether plurals of mass nouns that are actions would be allowedJohn Garcia wrote: ↑Wed Apr 09, 2025 3:57 pm R10 - TRUANCIES for 9

4th Numbers: I just did 26 x 27 or (25+1) x (10+8+9) = 702
I don’t think they allow plurals of mass nouns that are actions any more. Susie has in the past said no to sedations and curations, and when stealings was suggested here this was a no from the bosses so on balance I don’t think Susie would allow truancies.Fiona T wrote: ↑Thu Apr 10, 2025 6:26 amTRUANCY is a mass noun in ODP, although there is debate on whether plurals of mass nouns that are actions would be allowedJohn Garcia wrote: ↑Wed Apr 09, 2025 3:57 pm R10 - TRUANCIES for 9

Yes I was wondering about that, will have to try to do that properly and work out the ins and outs. It’s confused me before trying to do it. I usually just play against the champion as I find that much simpler.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Thu Apr 10, 2025 1:28 pm Can't remember which day Colin said this but it might have been this one:
Colin was talking about playing along with the contestants with three columns, presumably as a three-player game. This is the standard method. Those of you who play separate games against each contestant are overcomplicating it and it doesn't work when contestants don't give their further away numbers solutions.
Well as per my previous apto ticket, there's loads allowed in apto, some 30 are 9 letters of less (e.g arousals, towages, evictions)Philip A wrote: ↑Thu Apr 10, 2025 7:22 amI don’t think they allow plurals of mass nouns that are actions any more.
