That's ok, [In reply to] Can't Post

Even though the players aren't exactly multitudinous, I have a lot of fun making these up. I'll probably do another in a couple weeks, but I can see that I might need to toughen up a bit. Aw, we'll see.

I was surprised that Rem outdid you as I was sure BlackFox was the Grand Imperial Wizard when it came to word games. Smile

Cheers, thanks for playing

Oh, yes, on second gander [In reply to] Can't Post

you did get 11 first, and therefore retain the title of Grand Imperial Wizard of the word games. Heart

Congrats... you get two, I say two smiley faces - this one Smile and this one Smile

Why, thank you! [In reply to] Can't Post

I hope I didn't come off arrogant though. I just very much enjoy your games (as made evident by my overly enthusiastic start yesterday). Plus, games like this are a great way to expand one's vocabulary. Thanks again, Bracegirdle!

I couldn't twig it for the life of me! Tongue Well played BG, a most diverting entertainment!! I must say though, that quite a few were diabolical! I am tempted to come up with my own mystifying puzzle for revenge.Evil Laugh

They are fun aren't they [In reply to] Can't Post

even though the participants were slight.

They're fun (for me) to make up so I'll probably see if I can come up with some more in a week or two.

Cheers,
You did gave BF a run for her money though (do Black Foxes carry a purse?)

Thanks for playing and "revenge is sweet". I'll be here!!! (And the Fox too I'm sure!)

Hi Finding Frodo.. [In reply to] Can't Post

Actually you did more than half of them over half as well as they deserve. Smile
Pretty darn good so far. Tricksy aren't they?

Beechbone is correct. He was the Ent that was burned-up during the attack on Isengard.

Let me know if you would like some hints or answers.

Thanks for playing! Smile
