I'll start with my favorite "T"s, please...

T is served...

Second voice about Niggle's Parish:

Quote:

It is splendid for convalescence; and not only for that, for many it is the best introduction to the Mountains

!

Guinevere · 11-27-2004, 06:39 AM

Wow, HerenIstarion! This is almost uncanny...

HerenIstarion · 11-27-2004, 06:52 AM

I know I'm great, I know!

Seriously, convalescence gave it away - too long and uncommon a word, you know

Concerning the method, 'short words' are almost always easy to get, when you have t's - i.e it, that, not, but, get type of words, and, when one has a 13-letter key word in there, the rest is the speed of search

Ok, on to next one:

Guinevere · 11-27-2004, 07:47 AM

That's a long one! Can I have the A's ?

HerenIstarion · 11-27-2004, 07:55 AM

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-27-2004, 11:17 AM

I'll stick with my favorite starting letter and ask for "T"s, please.

At the risk of being boringly repetitive, I'm going to ask for "T"s again...

And quite a lot of T's !

I hope HI doesn't see it already!!
