LOTS of long words today (all thoses Rs Es and Ss), I had a hard time deciding what to put in. And still missed a lot.

Not quite. I thought I had a lot of great words, but apparently I missed some even greater words. I could have spent another hour or so brainstorming and gotten a few better words, but I would still have missed the longest available words.

You beat him though Nakamova!!! I've got tons of running around today and probably won't post till this evening so I'll have all day to figure out my words. Hopefully I get pretty close.

Some of the words they list look like made up words.
It doesn't hurt to guess a super-long word to see if they think it’s acceptable.

I missed at least one easy, long pengram. Oh well.

I'm not the greatest speller Nakamova so a good bit of times I'm guessing if words are actually words.

On the Blossom page, there is a "search dictionary" field at the top of the page. You can use that to test word spellings or even fish for words by typing a few letters and watching the autocomplete suggestions.

Thanks Bernard I never noticed that. That will probably help me some.

I brainstormed words and then goofed in using them optimally. I used a 7 letter word on an F play instead of the 8 or 9 letter words I had found.

Well done!
