Is that the one where you have 2 minutes to make as many words as possible out of 6 characters?
If so - Emmett and I have been known to tag team that game on long car trips using the palm - I'm good at figuring out the 6-letter words in my head after he reads me the characters.
That's the one! I'm impressed that you do them in your head. I'm not at all sure I could do that. I recognize them pretty quickly on-screen, though.
I suck at Scrabble because I haven't memorized its dictionary. I know English, not Scrabblese. How does Boggle work? You get a random pile of characters and make as many words as you can within a time limit?
I haven't memorized the Scrabble dictionary, though I have learned a bunch of the obscure 2-letter words.
Boggle - it's where you have a grid of letters (4x4 or 5x5) and you have a few minutes to make as many words as you can using letters that connect. Look up the game Tangleword(s) on Playsite - same game, with a few more options.
I'd be happy to play a few rounds of Tangleword if you like, tonight. (Slight chance Emmett will need my help with something, but it wouldn't take us long to do a round or two to give you the idea).
I don't know. It's awfully hard to kill that game that's up at a million (I haven't gone ahead and lost yet). I suspect it will be pretty easy not to play for a while once I lose that one.
Woohoo. Good for you. I've only played once or twice (except over her shoulder) but I have a feeling my scores would suck. I simply lack the willpower to sit there and find all the little words. I just play until I have the six-letter word and know I can play the next level and then my attention kind of wanders. :(

Boggle or Scrabble, sometime?

Speaking of gaming, do you have any time free this weekend? I do, and geocaching would be fun...

You know, I think I made a similar promise to God way back in my teen years, but it was about women. And I'm still in the clear for a little while. :)
Dumb joke aside, congratulations. That's Kim's favorite game, I'll have to check with her to see how high she's gotten.
