And gnu, though I haven't had occasion to use it for a while. Come to think of it, 'whippet' is worth keeping in mind.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290574097841845967.post-71966506397128685292015-09-19T15:55:49.699+01:002015-09-19T15:55:49.699+01:00hahahaha ... but concede? no such thing ... you wo...hahahaha ... but concede? no such thing ... you won! so that's two games up now :-) <br /><br />PS I always find the humble wen very handy. Also gnu. Not massive scores but good for shedding letters at the end of a game on a crowded board. madwippitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595748471651052552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290574097841845967.post-66161658088573292662015-09-19T13:01:56.828+01:002015-09-19T13:01:56.828+01:00You won!

I bet nobody who programmed it had ever heard of 'fizgig.'<br /><br />Oh, and late breaking news. I did skelp the teuchter, shortly after writing this blog - beat him by a whole 3 points. But he's won every game since.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290574097841845967.post-34666924936629134902015-09-19T02:18:19.704+01:002015-09-19T02:18:19.704+01:00Whoops, that was "fizgig."

Handy to have when you get into arguments with fellow players about whether or not that word you used is legitimate! ;-)Sue Bursztynskihttp://www.suebursztynski.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
