Codeword

Yes, the Codeword puzzle must ba real money spinner - and I wouldn't use the phone line. I can hardly ever do the puzzle but on the very few occasions when I finish it I feel quite pleased with myself.

Oh yes it is obvious! Thanks jing Never noticed it before.

Whitewave! Learn! Find any post of hers, then click on 'private message' at the end of the pink bar with poster's name on.

Does anyone else know or perhaps could PM her only I don't know how to do it.

No I have seen nothing from [Galen] for a week or so.

Neither Have I seen anything from PapaOscar since about Xmas.

Talking about magic - sort of - anyone heard from Galen lately only haven't noticed any posts for a while

We've been warned.........

Not telling you its a secret

How did you make grans disappear?
Might come in useful one day.......

I am here not got rid of that easily - no daft me was bringing everyone's thread up to the top by bunging in an a to stop the b---s mucking up our order although there must be grans who have disappeared.

She's alive and well and has been posting on the EU thread!

Are you OK whitewave ?
Can you HEAR ME IF I SHOUT?

I wonder if she's been hacked? By a naughty GC perhaps? My 6 yr old GS typed some rather odd things on DD's FB page a month or so ago. At least we know he can spell 'poo'.

In one thread whitewave says she's trying to rescue threads but I'm not sure quite how you do that

hope you are ok ? is it a problem with the computer or whatever you are typing on ?

If it isn't spammers it's a secret code forthoseintheknow!

Followed by b, I assume. Are you trying to find out whether anyone notices, whitewave?

Yes it is annoying Printmiss, sometimes I refuse to bin them and have bits of half done codewords lying around the house, but if I leave them for too long my ruthless husband chucks them in the bin but I have to concede life is too short to go back to half done puzzles that have got the better of me!

Just realised that I was mixing my Codeword Puzzles with my Polyword one! (That's the one with 9 letters in it, have to make words of 4 letters or more, always including the letter in the centre) It says in the rules that plurals are not allowed, fair enough if you are just sticking an "s" on the end of the word, but I was a bit miffed recently when they wouldn't allow "MICE" because it's plural!

When I do the code word puzzles, I try to find all the e's first. E is the most widely used letter therefore there will be more number x than any other number. That is, after I have entered the letters given at the start. I also try to do the sudoku in the newspaper. I am not always successful with those.

Me too Terribull. It is very childish to get upset, but upset I get if I cannot do a puzzle I have started.

I love codeword puzzles, usually I manage to crack the first word and get going, occasionally I have mucked them up further along. I get really annoyed if I get stuck, pathetic really!

I only use the Crossword Solver for the first word and then my brain for the rest of Codeword, but I get your point about it not being all my own work.

It seems that you can all get yourself started without the use of technology, sadly I can't when like yesterday in the Independent it was 9 letters first letter P 7th letter K.
