I like narcissus, Wayne. Was hoping that letter combo would require building onto both ends.

A little harder but...

Kirsten,

I really don't understand the part I italicized in your last post. :hmm:

Kirsten,

I really don't understand the part I italicized in your last post. :hmm:

Wayne
Sorry Wayne. I wasn't exactly composing full sentences.. I was hoping that the CIS letter combination I suggested would require people to add letters to the beginning and end of that letter chain -- which I think is harder than getting a letter chain that could begin lots of words. E.g., SUP suggests a million super... words; ion suggests lots of --tion words.

Interesting. When I am doing this game, I thought it would more interesting to find words that didn't start or end with the suggested letters. Try and find ones where the letters are used in the middle. I have even found a couple of instances (in previous games) where the suggested letters are used twice in the same word.

AHA!

SCISSORS! That's what I was going for when I suggested CIS.
