Ho do you get a 9 letter word from 7 letters?
My biggest score from three games was only 65. Have to admit these two lack the challenge I like. I will study Quardle some more or just stick with Jumble but I need you as a reason to play.

You can use each letter given as often as you like.
The challenge is to get more than 200 points. Did you?

200 points in one go. Forget it, not even close. I filled all the flower pots too.

I have regularly scored about 140 or so. Go for longer words and always try to use the yellow letter highlighted for each new try. You'll get way more points.

Thanks for the tip.

Nov 6 JUMBLE. Fully solved 4m 6s.

I still want us to to the daily JUMBLE. I see you have struggled with the cartoon answer. I find is better to first post a word you think is correct which reduces the letter choices for the remaining words. With the salmon fishing one I typed in WADE first which made the full answer easier for me to decipher.

It took me 4:59 min to get the first three words, then I got stuck. Lots of adverts interrupting playing. Do you get those too?

Have you done wordle?

Not on Shockwave.

7 Nov. 7m 29s. the cartoon stumped me for a while. TAUGHT TAUT. The producers have odd imaginations thats what makes this game a challenge.

sorry mate, software problems when I play Blossom, either that or my crook keyboard.

I did today's jumble (9 Nov) and solved words 2-4 but didn't get 1 and the cartoon. Time 4:21 min.

Your problems with blossom sound weird. Does that mean you can't play any of the other games offered on this website either?
Could you check that, please:

No, the software doesn't have such a feature which is not up to par. My very first words.
BUT...we can do it by posting a screenshot of the results like this:


I did today's Nov, 10th jumble within 2:43 min but failed to get the cartoon. I could post the results, too.
Can you still do Nov,10 ? If not, let's do Nov, 11.

 

[Richie]

posting a screenshot

That is a fiddly process or do you have a quicker solution.

 

[Richie]

4m 36s, I could not solve first word for ages. Had to look up GAFFE as I had that as a slang word which is not permitted on Jumble. No idea of the cartoon. So my friend you win today. You did not do the quiz?
