Meh, I sent Revenge most foul!

To be honest I never saw the thread had been updated. Very rushed play so I doubt I will stay in the hunt.

Mine is sent too. In fact I sent 2 words.
The first, and higher scoring, was obtained using questionable means described in my PM. I'll leave it up to MV as to whether these "questionable means" disqualifies it.
Should it be disqualified, then I quite like my second entry too. I found it in Monte Carlo, a long time ago. Wink

I am sorry.

This game was started at a time when I really didn't have much to do at work. Recently we had the approval to start on a project that will consume all my working time for the next 8 weeks. I will try to make it so that I can make updates from somewhere else to the last part of the game can be finished.

No need to apologise. I'm sure I speak for the rest of us in saying that we appreciate the effort you are making on our behalf and look forward to the next round, whenever that may be. At least it's a game that's easy to pick up where we left off without the need to revise previous posts.

Good luck with the project and update whenever.

I assume this game is now dead, so let me be the first to congratulate Zag.
Well Played!
Next time I'm gonna check out the 2-letter words before entering a competition like this. Felicitous

Well, it probably should be pronounced dead.

Actually, part way through this game, I read an article about "Scrabble 2", a version of the game attempting to bring back the fun of making words in the game. One thing they mentioned was having a list of all the legal two lettered words available (and also removing some of the really marginal ones). So if I was to run the game again, I would provide all the legal two lettered words for you!.

Thanks everyone for playing!

Thanks. But, of course, it's clear that Cordelia would have won if she hadn't disappeared. Out protecting our country, again, probably.
