Fri, 5 Jul 2002 For those who haven't been around recently, there is an updated graph of pages read at the book list: http://www25.brinkster.com/wasoxygen/books.asp Those who have participated in the Grid will be pleased to know that a winner has been named. The King of the Grid leads with 234 words entered. The Grid rules have now been reworked to allow participants to add words for pairs that have already been covered. New words must be unique, but each player has the whole grid to work with. For each word that is the only solution for a letter pair, a 10-point bonus is awarded. The previous leader is ahead with 2564 points, but this lead will be reduced considerably as players enter additional solutions for pairs. http://www25.brinkster.com/wasoxygen/grid1.asp As before, dictionary.com is our impartial judge and standard Scrabble practice applies. Therefore, some existing entries have been deleted for spelling errors or non-existence: khayyamesque papillionacious subquark clockface Please note new e-mail addresses for some participants: alicia is now "at" royaltoby.com janvier is now "at" whoever.com beowulf is now "at" attglobal.net Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
