Word Wizard
18 Mar 2010, 12:19
Phew, a 1:11!
Kathy
18 Mar 2010, 08:17
Oh dear, 3:01 today.
Word Wizard
17 Mar 2010, 13:03
Tougher one today. 1:19.
Kathy
17 Mar 2010, 10:31
Well that was a disaster. I think I figured out my slow brain function...I've switched to half regular/half decaf on the coffee.
Kathy
16 Mar 2010, 10:59
2:56 for me. Normally my fingers don't cooperate, but today my brain didn't want to cooperate.
Word Wizard
16 Mar 2010, 08:41
Broke the minute mark with a 0:56!
Word Wizard
15 Mar 2010, 10:06
I'll take a 1:06 this Monday morning:)
Kathy
15 Mar 2010, 07:58
A good start to my Monday morning with a 0:52!
wordmavin
15 Mar 2010, 06:25
I was on track for an excellent score until I misread the last clue. I'm amused and exasperated at the same time.
Word Wizard
12 Mar 2010, 09:24
I'm with you Kathy. I think 0:37 is a personal best!
Kathy
12 Mar 2010, 07:30
WOW! My new personal best...a 0:49! I think I broke the minute mark last Friday also.
wordmavin
12 Mar 2010, 04:24
My 2:08 today can legitimately be blamed in part on a balky touch pad. The other part of the blame is mine, I sadly admit.
Word Wizard
11 Mar 2010, 10:30
Almost broke a minute. 1:04 today!
wordmavin
11 Mar 2010, 05:44
Wizard, I like your reality better than mine. 1:38 today.
Word Wizard
10 Mar 2010, 13:50
Ah, back to reality with a 1:14!!
Kathy
10 Mar 2010, 07:27
I'm feeling better with a 1:45 today!
wordmavin
10 Mar 2010, 03:39
So today's 1:57 is better, but not brilliant. I'm glad to find out you two found yesterday's puzzle a challenge too.
Word Wizard
09 Mar 2010, 10:02
I'll take a 2:17 today:)
Kathy
09 Mar 2010, 07:40
Well, if you're ashamed with a 2:38 then I'm humiliated with a 2:49.
wordmavin
09 Mar 2010, 04:16
Apparently not warming up--2:38. I'm ashamed to admit to it.
Kathy
08 Mar 2010, 08:34
I'm right behind you wordmavin with a 1:45.
wordmavin
08 Mar 2010, 04:11
Starting the week off with 1:42. Hopefully, I'm just getting warmed up.
Kathy
05 Mar 2010, 08:56
It's been a while but I broke the minute mark with 0:52! Have a great weekend all.
wordmavin
05 Mar 2010, 04:03
Finally, 1:39 this morning, but I'm almost afraid to hear the scores for you two.
Word Wizard
04 Mar 2010, 13:36
A slow start but a strong finish for a 1:39 today.
Kathy
04 Mar 2010, 07:45
Well finally, I'm pleased with a 1:34 today.
wordmavin
04 Mar 2010, 04:14
It's reassuring to find out that that puzzle was hard for others as well. My 2:37 for today is still nothing to get excited about.
Word Wizard
03 Mar 2010, 12:38
Those P words were tough. 2:49 for me.
Kathy
03 Mar 2010, 08:20
Was hung up on finding a tiny little P word which left me with a 3:18. Ugh!
wordmavin
03 Mar 2010, 04:50
I'll just leave it at I had a wretched score today.
Word Wizard
02 Mar 2010, 08:46
A 2:20. My pattern for the week is going the opposite way.
Kathy
02 Mar 2010, 07:51
An even 2:00 today. Hmmm, I see a pattern forming. Maybe tomorrow will be 1:00.
wordmavin
02 Mar 2010, 02:49
Not much better at 2:28 this morning. It did not help that my scrolling was not efficient, but that was only part of the problem.tion quien
Word Wizard
01 Mar 2010, 10:17
Not sure how it happened but I broke the minute mark with a 0:53. Good start for the week.
Kathy
01 Mar 2010, 09:39
Don't feel bad, I scored an even 3:00. Not real good on the birthstones.
wordmavin
01 Mar 2010, 08:05
After victory at last, last week, (victory being getting the best score)I regressed to a miserable 2:51 this morning owing to an inability to find the final item in an easy category. Ah, "how have the mighty fallen..."
Word Wizard
26 Feb 2010, 13:05
Man, I'm "plum" tuckered out after that one! 2:50!!
Kathy
26 Feb 2010, 08:23
2:15 for me. That felt like it took forever. Good weekend to all!
wordmavin
26 Feb 2010, 04:25
I'm hoping others found today's puzzle as challenging as I did. 1:55 was a relief, I thought it would be worse.
Word Wizard
25 Feb 2010, 10:54
Back to normal today with a 1:24
Kathy
25 Feb 2010, 07:33
Yikes, 2:15 today. I'm going backwards. Another gold medal for the Wizard though, congrats!
wordmavin
25 Feb 2010, 02:59
Awesome, Wizard. After today's miserable score that I won't even reveal, I'm starting to think I need to hang up my maven title.
Word Wizard
24 Feb 2010, 13:41
Guys, I hate to tell you, but I just broke the 0:42 mark with a 0:39!! It's ridiculous. I'm not sure how it happened:)
Kathy
24 Feb 2010, 09:29
I'm relieved to have improved to a 1:03 today. Maybe there's hope of breaking the 1:00 mark again.
wordmavin
24 Feb 2010, 04:27
I improved to 1:09, so that's good, but the Wizard's record of 42 seconds is out there, taunting me. I suspect that record will stand for a good while but will serve to inspire us.
Kathy
23 Feb 2010, 14:05
1:32 for me. Not great, but I'm okay with it.
Word Wizard
23 Feb 2010, 10:37
I hear ya Wordmavin. I had a 1:07 today. I'll take it.
wordmavin
23 Feb 2010, 04:38
At one time today's 1:51 would have satisfied me, but now it just makes me determined to do better tomorrow.
Word Wizard
22 Feb 2010, 12:06
I'll never top last week's score. Happy with a 1:15 today:)
Kathy
22 Feb 2010, 08:34
42 seconds, that's awesome Wizard! I'm a little reluctant to admit my 2:45 for today. Definitely have brain fog, going for a second cup of coffee now...
Word Wizard
19 Feb 2010, 11:13
Like a skier in the Winter Olympics I was looking for a time of 1:24 to stand atop the podium in the Word Games Olympics. And lo and behold I set a new World Record of 0:42!! The Gold is mine today:)
Kathy
19 Feb 2010, 07:24
1:26 for me. Happy Friday to all!
wordmavin
19 Feb 2010, 04:15
Ah, 1:25. Still not great but much better than yesterday. Have a good weekend everyone.
Word Wizard
18 Feb 2010, 09:54
Yikes! A little rusty from the time off. A 2:02 today.
Kathy
18 Feb 2010, 08:37
1:45 for me. Wonder if I'll get back to my lower times? For now I'll blame it on my head cold.
wordmavin
18 Feb 2010, 04:29
Yikes! 2:11 this morning, not good at all.
Kathy
17 Feb 2010, 07:11
It's good to be back, I sure missed this as part of my morning routine. 1:30 for me today.
wordmavin
17 Feb 2010, 06:06
Welcome back, Kathy! You haven't lost your touch... I thought I was moving quickly but came up with 1:47 today. C'est la vie.
Kathy
16 Feb 2010, 10:40
1:41 for me after a looooong time gone. Anybody out there?
wordmavin
12 Feb 2010, 04:37
Very impressive, Wizard! Congratulations. I improved to 1:24 today, which isn't saying much, but better than going in the other direction.
Word Wizard
11 Feb 2010, 15:33
Wow, it was over before I knew it! 0:50 today. I think that's my new record.
wordmavin
11 Feb 2010, 06:22
After my recent dismal scores, today's 1:29 looks good, so I'll take it.
Word Wizard
10 Feb 2010, 09:04
A 1:58 today. Kinda tough.
wordmavin
10 Feb 2010, 05:31
Better today, but still not a score worth mentioning. Hmmm, what can I use as an excuse?
Word Wizard
09 Feb 2010, 10:12
Sorry to hear that wordmavin. I faired ok with a 1:33.
wordmavin
09 Feb 2010, 03:57
Horrid score this morning. I protest the inclusion of a ridiculous pop culture category.
Word Wizard
08 Feb 2010, 08:36
A respectable 1:32 this Monday morning, even with some math involved:)
wordmavin
08 Feb 2010, 04:10
Starting off the week with a 1:28, not a super time but I'm satisfied with it.
Word Wizard
05 Feb 2010, 10:46
I was cruising right along until I got stuck searching for "toe"! Darn! 2:17
Word Maven
05 Feb 2010, 04:46
2:29 This was hard today!
Word Wizard
04 Feb 2010, 10:07
I see what you mean. A 1:24 for me.
Word Maven
04 Feb 2010, 05:52
I had a lot of trouble finding the last capital, 2:56 today. Sigh.
Word Wizard
03 Feb 2010, 10:42
1:00 exactly today! Looks like we all had a good one today:)
Kathy
03 Feb 2010, 09:41
1:08 today, 2:00 yesterday.
Word Maven
03 Feb 2010, 03:51
Sigh of relief, 1:05 today. I need a string of good scores to rebuild my confidence.
Word Wizard
02 Feb 2010, 10:35
I know what happened. It was a hard one:) 2:26 for me.
Word Maven
02 Feb 2010, 05:49
My joy at having the best time yesterday is tempered by today's humiliating 3:00. Don't ask me what happened because I don't know.
Word Wizard
01 Feb 2010, 14:09
I was a little slow today. 1:49!
Kathy
01 Feb 2010, 08:22
1:43 for me. A little sluggish on my Monday morning.
Word Maven
01 Feb 2010, 05:07
Welcome back, Kathy, even if you are joining the Wizard in soundly trouncing me. I made it easy for you two today with a 1:30.
Word Wizard
29 Jan 2010, 10:03
Kathy, you got me! But keeping my sub-minute streak alive just barely with a 0:59:) Have a great weekend everyone!
Kathy
29 Jan 2010, 09:40
Hey Maven, sorry about your tough week! At least it ended well. I almost feel guilty coming in with 54 seconds. Have a great weekend to all!
Word Maven
29 Jan 2010, 04:37
I'm closing the week with a 1:19. I've got to hope I'll do better next week than I did this week, perhaps even break that minute barrier... and give the Wizard a run for his money.
Word Wizard
28 Jan 2010, 09:48
Hey Word Maven, it's definitely for the fun of it. But I just can't help myself with a 0:54 today!
Word Maven
28 Jan 2010, 04:35
Wizard, I've had a moment or two like that myself... Today was better, but my score of 2:28 tells you how bad yesterday's score was. Oh well, I guess I'm in this for the fun of it, not for the glory of being #1. Although I will keep trying.
Word Wizard
27 Jan 2010, 09:30
I'm sorry Word Maven. Tomorrow will be better. For me, I'm keeping the streak alive with a 1:27 today. I was wondering what a yerpso was until I realized it was an osprey:)
Word Maven
27 Jan 2010, 04:58
I don't even want to talk about my score today.
Word Wizard
26 Jan 2010, 09:50
Woohoo! Broke 1:00 today with a 0:50!
Word Maven
25 Jan 2010, 04:08
I'm pleased to start off the week with a score of 1:15. Hopefully a sign of better scores to come.
Word Maven
22 Jan 2010, 04:35
Better today at 1:48. Maybe I'll at least match the Wizard one of these days.
Word Wizard
21 Jan 2010, 08:52
Back to back 1:40s. At least I'm consistent:)
Word Maven
21 Jan 2010, 03:26
Eek! 2:24 today. Please, somebody tell they found it a hard one too!
Word Wizard
20 Jan 2010, 08:33
Today's was little tougher. A 1:40 for me. Need stronger coffee:)
Word Maven
20 Jan 2010, 06:27
I stand in awe of the two of you. I tried talking to myself today while working the puzzle, but still only finished in 1:25. As a coffee fiend, the stronger the better, I'd like to know more about Kathy's extra strong coffee.
Word Wizard
19 Jan 2010, 10:47
Incredible score Kathy! And I was just 2 seconds behind you with a 0:56!!
Kathy
19 Jan 2010, 07:56
Showing off would be 54 seconds which is what I got today! Must be the extra strength coffee.
Word Maven
19 Jan 2010, 05:47
All right Kathy, now you're just showing off. Sigh. My 1:34 today isn't even remotely near your excellent time--but will have to do. It is what it is.
Kathy
18 Jan 2010, 08:11
1:00 minute exactly! Happy Monday!
Word Maven
18 Jan 2010, 05:13
Welcome back, Kathy. Your lack of practice does not seem to have affected your skill! I'm pleased to start the week with a 1:09 even though I didn't feel terribly alert.
Word Wizard
15 Jan 2010, 16:09
I hear ya Kathy. But with a time like 1:03 it doesn't really get in the way at all:) Glad you're back!
Kathy
15 Jan 2010, 10:15
Hey, I'm back with a 1:03!! Too much work getting in the way of my play time. Hate when that happens!
Word Wizard
15 Jan 2010, 09:56
I will indeed end the week reigning supreme! :) But I love your determination Word Maven. The mighty always falter at some point.
Word Maven
15 Jan 2010, 04:41
Ending the week with 1:43. Better yesterday,but leaves a lot of room for improvement. The Wizard may reign supreme for now, but I am not giving up.
Word Wizard
14 Jan 2010, 08:42
Keeping the trend going this week. A 1:12 today!
Word Maven
14 Jan 2010, 04:50
Noooooo! Curses. And my of 3:25 for today is not going to help matters. And no, that time is not a typo. I will have to hope for better scores next week.
Word Wizard
13 Jan 2010, 09:22
Nice try Word Maven, but once again I am victorious (evil laugh). JK. 1:04 today:)
Word Maven
13 Jan 2010, 04:32
Whew, 1:09 this morning, but will it be good enough to be the Wizard?
Word Wizard
12 Jan 2010, 08:37
Keeping it under 2:00 so far this week. A 1:17 today.
Word Maven
12 Jan 2010, 05:10
Way to go Wizard! I only improved to 1:30 today... You're going to be hard to beat.
Word Wizard
11 Jan 2010, 12:21
A stellar 1:13 to start the week!
Word Maven
11 Jan 2010, 04:03
Finished in 1:36 in spite of myself. I thought I was done and was congratulating myself when I saw I wasn't done after all. Oops.
Kathy
08 Jan 2010, 14:33
3:11 for me. Had no idea who that author was and had to start circling everything!
Word Wizard
08 Jan 2010, 09:45
That one was tough. 2:04.
Word Maven
08 Jan 2010, 04:42
So, I found this one a little hard, 2:40 for today. And noticed the misspelling in the clues.
Word Wizard
07 Jan 2010, 09:32
Sorry I missed yesterday/ A 1:42 today. Not bad!
Word Maven
06 Jan 2010, 04:21
Whew, 1:31 today--so better,but you have set the bar high, Kathy.
Word Wizard
05 Jan 2010, 09:54
Wow Kathy, way to start the New Year!:) A 2:19 for me.
Kathy
05 Jan 2010, 07:34
Wow, I'm shocked to jump back in with a 1:19! Happy New Year all.
Word Maven
05 Jan 2010, 05:17
Happy New Year! Welcome back Wizard, I wonder if Kathy will be joining us. I was hoping to crack the two minute mark this morning, but have to settle for 2:03.
Word Wizard
04 Jan 2010, 14:41
Happy New Year Everyone! I'm back and a litte rusty:) A 2:10 to start the new year.
Word Maven
28 Dec 2009, 05:25
Starting the week with a 2:38 just gives me a chance to improve, right?
Word Maven
24 Dec 2009, 04:45
Excellent job, Kathy! 1:22 for me today. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Kathy
23 Dec 2009, 07:51
WooHoo! 1:10 for me. I may not be around till next year, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
Word Maven
23 Dec 2009, 04:54
An even 2:00 today, and I'm pleased even though it isn't a terrific score.
Kathy
22 Dec 2009, 11:00
You win Maven, put me down for a 1:33.
Word Wizard
22 Dec 2009, 09:39
Nice work Word Maven. And that wasn't an easy one. 2:10 for me.
Word Maven
22 Dec 2009, 05:03
Finally, after days of shame and humiliation, 1:07. If one of you breaks the minute barrier, I don't even want to know about it.
Word Wizard
21 Dec 2009, 09:21
1:26 today! Had trouble finding that turkey!
Kathy
21 Dec 2009, 07:20
1:31. Happy Monday!
Word Maven
21 Dec 2009, 06:19
Starting the week with 2:06, finished without reading the clues. When I did go back to read them, I decided I would not have gotten the last one if I hadn't stumbled on it.
Word Wizard
17 Dec 2009, 12:53
Well, I seem to be having a good week. I lucked into a bunch of the animals and came away with a 1:06!!
Kathy
17 Dec 2009, 09:19
Yikes...3:48! I like a challenge, but that was tough for me today.
Word Maven
17 Dec 2009, 05:28
I had a lot of trouble finding the last animal so my score was abysmal, but I enjoyed the game anyway. So much for being competitive.
Word Wizard
16 Dec 2009, 12:13
I'm happy with a 1:21 today!
Word Maven
16 Dec 2009, 04:02
2:11 today, better but not great.
Word Wizard
15 Dec 2009, 09:22
1:42. Not too shabby. Certainly didn't make me crabby.
Kathy
15 Dec 2009, 07:49
1:51 for me...
Word Maven
15 Dec 2009, 06:36
Well done, Word Wizard! Very impressive. Unlike my score today which I won't even mention. I misunderstood a clue and wasted a lot of time looking for the wrong word. Some days are like that.
Kathy
14 Dec 2009, 11:50
Congrats Wizard! After last week, I'm going to be happy with a 1:41.
Word Wizard
14 Dec 2009, 09:18
Whoa! Broke the minute mark this morning with a 0:59!! Sign of good things to come today? I hope so:)
Word Maven
14 Dec 2009, 05:31
I had trouble finding the last capital, so I'll have to be satisfied with 2:14 today.
Kathy
11 Dec 2009, 13:28
My turn to bomb...3:45. Did not like that one at all!
Word Maven
11 Dec 2009, 03:46
I do not know my fish... 2:40.
Word Wizard
10 Dec 2009, 08:35
Not sure how it happened but I was able to get a 1:54 today!
Kathy
10 Dec 2009, 07:46
I think they read our posts and are making them more challenging. I've been in the 2's all week, 2:46 for today.
Word Maven
10 Dec 2009, 05:17
To say I had some trouble today is putting it mildly, 3:40. And yesterday was 2:32, not 2:02--I may have to start waiting and do the Roundup when I've been awake longer.
Kathy
09 Dec 2009, 07:55
2:28 today. I should have looked at the clues sooner than I did.
Word Maven
09 Dec 2009, 04:16
Not fully awake yet, so I guess 2:02 is o.k.
Word Wizard
08 Dec 2009, 13:08
That was a tough one. 2:28 for me.
Kathy
08 Dec 2009, 08:05
2:19 for me...
Word Maven
08 Dec 2009, 04:15
A little harder today, 2:43.
Word Wizard
07 Dec 2009, 10:09
It did seem sort of familiar. 1:48 for me.
Kathy
07 Dec 2009, 08:05
This one seemed familiar...even so I didn't do that great with a 2:45.
Word Maven
07 Dec 2009, 04:40
I really hate it when I realize I've been looking right at a word and not seeing it. Sigh. 2:13 to start the week.
Word Wizard
04 Dec 2009, 09:47
Wow, impressive! 1:23 for myself.
Kathy
04 Dec 2009, 07:30
WooHoo....1:14!!
Word Maven
04 Dec 2009, 05:32
Whew, 1:24. I'm so pleased I can hardly stand myself.
Word Wizard
03 Dec 2009, 11:28
Glad I wasn't the only one. That was tough--3:24. Darn those Swedish lynx:)
Kathy
03 Dec 2009, 09:22
Well that was a challenging one for me! 2:54 today.
Word Maven
03 Dec 2009, 05:03
A little trouble getting all the mammals put me at 2:32. Not a great score.

My least favorite category is signs of the zodiac, I have trouble remembering them.
Word Wizard
02 Dec 2009, 11:13
Just trying to keep up with you guys--1:07! I have to ask what your least favorite category is?:)
Kathy
02 Dec 2009, 07:39
Surprised myself with a 1:27. My fingers don't want to work today.
Word Maven
02 Dec 2009, 05:24
Wow Kathy, your fingers were flying! 1:20 today in spite of the attempt slow me down with my least favorite category.
Kathy
01 Dec 2009, 10:07
1:02 for me! That was fun, never looked at the clues.
Word Wizard
01 Dec 2009, 08:46
We're back Word Maven! 1:13 for me! OK Kathy your turn:)
Word Maven
01 Dec 2009, 05:31
Whew, 1:32! It's about time I had a decent score.
Kathy
30 Nov 2009, 11:49
3:02 today. Darn birds!!
Word Wizard
30 Nov 2009, 10:19
I'm blaming my 2:37 today on a bird as well:)
Word Maven
27 Nov 2009, 04:49
I'm not feeling fully awake yet, so 2:01 isn't bad. I'm blaming it on yesterday's turkey.

Felt like I was cruising along but ended up with a 2:28. Nice job Kathy
Kathy
24 Nov 2009, 09:42
1:39 for me!!
Word Maven
24 Nov 2009, 05:35
I was a little handicapped by a lack of interest in football... 2:16.
Word Wizard
23 Nov 2009, 13:32
Gobble, gobble...1:15! Happy Thanksgiving week!
Kathy
23 Nov 2009, 10:32
1:26 on a Monday morning, not too bad!
Word Maven
23 Nov 2009, 03:53
Happy Thanksgiving week! I thought I was done when I actually needed one more word, and watched the clock continue on for a second or two... eek. 1:50, so I beat the two minute mark anyway.
Word Wizard
20 Nov 2009, 10:13
I surprised myself with a 1:26 today! have a great weekend!
Kathy
20 Nov 2009, 07:41
2:12 for me. Have a great weekend everybody!
Word Maven
20 Nov 2009, 06:17
I admit I had to check the clue to get the last color, so 2:53 is a gift. Who knows how long it would have taken otherwise.
Word Wizard
19 Nov 2009, 10:22
That was a tough one. 2:05
Kathy
19 Nov 2009, 08:03
3:41 today. Ugh. I was too hung up on why 'treat' wasn't one of the words to circle. Kept going back to it thinking I was missing something.
Word Maven
19 Nov 2009, 06:44
Even though it put me at 2:30 for the day, I was amused at how hard it was to find that last three letter word. I decided I like longer words better.
Word Wizard
18 Nov 2009, 09:16
You both got me today. 1:46. Hey, I like the word chichilet. It sounds like a small primate indigenous to South American rain forests.
Kathy
18 Nov 2009, 08:34
I had a 1:40 today also Word Maven!
Word Maven
18 Nov 2009, 04:38
I feel a little better about 1:40 today, although that still isn't great. I've had some moments of confusion about words myself, Word Wizard. And today I desperately tried to make chichilet a word.

Well done, Kathy--you're an inspiration.
Word Wizard
17 Nov 2009, 13:36
Word Maven I did my best to come in last but alas a 1:41. I was completely confused by what an eltrut was until I saw the reptile category and realized it was turtle.
Kathy
17 Nov 2009, 07:38
1:27 today. I dare not brag it up because I always bomb the next day.
Word Maven
17 Nov 2009, 04:04
An even 2:00 today, which means I will probably be left behind in the dust. Oh well, somebody has to be in last place.
Word Wizard
16 Nov 2009, 09:50
Wow! It was over before it even started. 1:06! The first time I looked over at the clues I only had two words left to find. Good start for the weel:)
Kathy
16 Nov 2009, 08:35
1:20 on Monday morning! I'm okay with that.
Word Maven
14 Nov 2009, 04:03
Sigh, 3:33 today. But on the other hand, having trouble coming up with the last Friends star surely means my head is filled with more useful information.
Kathy
13 Nov 2009, 10:00
1:46 for me. Guess I got those cobwebs cleared out.
Word Wizard
13 Nov 2009, 09:19
Word Maven you're being to hard on yourself. 2:13 is a perfectly fine score. Of course I'm only saying that because I got a 2:19:)
Word Maven
13 Nov 2009, 05:07
2:13 today, and these were easy categories. I do not like the direction that this is going. I'm sorely tempted to try the strategy of trying a second time. ;)
Word Wizard
12 Nov 2009, 12:41
Got lucky with a 1:33 today...on my first try!:)
GeoATL
12 Nov 2009, 07:57
wow I did really good 6+ minutes, LOL - I did much better the second time 1:42 but I guess that doesn't count.
Kathy
12 Nov 2009, 07:56
A groan from me too...2:45 today. Haven't been able to play for a few days, have to clear the cobwebs!
Word Maven
12 Nov 2009, 04:02
Groan. An even 2:00 today, Greek letters, phooey.
Word Wizard
11 Nov 2009, 10:53
Got on a nice roll today--1:25. FYI--Internet does not start with a "W":)
Word Maven
11 Nov 2009, 06:04
1:49 two days in a row, interesting.
Nettie
10 Nov 2009, 18:58
YEAH!!! Love games and puzzles...As often as I visit this site, I don't know how I missed the games...Anyway, if I'm able to be on plan to play whenever possible....
Word Wizard
10 Nov 2009, 12:42
I see what you mean about the second Microsoft program:) 1:47
Word Maven
10 Nov 2009, 05:49
I'm pleased with my 1:49, it was only sheer luck that I spotted the second Microsoft program.
Word Wizard
09 Nov 2009, 13:08
Very nice. On weak hotel coffee to boot:) I finished with 2:26. Asia was eluding me.
Word Maven
09 Nov 2009, 05:34
Still on the road, but have internet today, yippee! 1:44 and only powered by weak hotel room coffee. :)
Word Wizard
05 Nov 2009, 08:45
Did pretty well. 2:06. Word Maven have a nice long weekend. Hope you can survive without a Word Roundup Challenge:) Karen I suggest you have a glass of wine:)
Kathy
05 Nov 2009, 08:07
I had to stop it at 3:30. Just couldn't find the fine wine factor; had grapes stuck on my brain which hurt me.
Word Maven
05 Nov 2009, 02:43
I thought I had buzzed right along, but it took 2:29 so I guess not. Oh well. I'm off on a long weekend with limited if any internet--hope I survive, haha. TTFN
Word Wizard
04 Nov 2009, 10:20
Nice work guys! 2;25 for me.
Kathy
04 Nov 2009, 07:42
1:21 for me today. Whew!
Word Maven
04 Nov 2009, 04:35
So it wasn't just me that struggled yesterday... Today was better at 1:50, but it felt like hard work.
Word Wizard
03 Nov 2009, 12:48
I see what you mean! 4:53. I really need to study up on my Hawaiin islands. But in all fairness, those are barely English:)
Kathy
03 Nov 2009, 07:59
A disaster from the start. Heavy sigh...
Word Maven
03 Nov 2009, 04:34
I knew I was not on top of my game this morning, 2:43, sigh.
Word Wizard
02 Nov 2009, 09:48
Man, you guys are good! 1:00 for me! I think I could have done even better had I looked at the clues and saw lodging options earlier. I was on hotel and motel but didn't see them until I read the clue and looked.
Kathy
02 Nov 2009, 08:34
53 seconds!!! I did it! I've always been happy with anything under two minutes but my goal has been to get under a minute. Funny how a little puzzle can turn my mood around!
Word Maven
02 Nov 2009, 04:51
1:11! And I lost a second or two or three to bad scrolling. Lovely start to the week.
Kathy
31 Oct 2009, 16:55
I knew I spoke to soon yesterday...can't even admit how long that took me. Stuck on a joint also.
Word Maven
31 Oct 2009, 04:53
I can't believe I had that much trouble coming up with the last joint. 3:38
Word Wizard
30 Oct 2009, 10:20
You're not going to believe this one...1:02! Never even looked at the clues. I'm playing the lottery tonight:)
Kathy
30 Oct 2009, 09:21
1:37 to finish out the week! I think I'm finally getting the hang of this.
Word Maven
30 Oct 2009, 03:58
Wow! 1:13 is great. My 1:56 this morning not so great, but under my two minute goal so it'll do.
Word Wizard
29 Oct 2009, 10:42
Wow! 1:13 is fantastic! You got too much sleep:) I ended up with a 2:02 which isn't too shabby.
Kathy
29 Oct 2009, 08:31
I can't believe it...1:13 today!
Word Maven
29 Oct 2009, 05:28
I only found the last word for money by chance so 2:27 is fine with me. It could have been much worse.
Word Wizard
28 Oct 2009, 09:15
3:03 today. That was a tough one. Had trouble finding pink and rugby. Two things that don't normally go together:)
Kathy
28 Oct 2009, 07:50
3:26 today. Took much too long for me to find Paul Newman. Couldn't play yesterday. Too much work and a Dr. appt.
Word Maven
28 Oct 2009, 05:19
The second name for a female gave me trouble, 3:05.
Word Wizard
27 Oct 2009, 08:36
2:07 today. That was a good one!
Word Maven
27 Oct 2009, 04:50
For some reason I couldn't get the puzzle to load yesterday so I missed out. 1:54 for today.
Word Wizard
26 Oct 2009, 13:44
A 1:21?! Excellent! But before I give up my title of Word Wizard, believe it or not I got a 1:13. I have to admit I did look at the clues once toward the very end:)
Kathy
26 Oct 2009, 07:58
1:21 on a Monday morning! Didn't even look at the clues.
Word Wizard
23 Oct 2009, 09:12
Wow it was all clicking this morning. 1:40!! I didn't even look at the questions until the last three words. It was a good puzzle day! Have a great weekend guys!
Kathy
23 Oct 2009, 08:27
WooHoo, 2:12 today! Not bad for a achy, rainy morning.
Word Maven
23 Oct 2009, 04:12
I "stumbled and fell" this morning, 3:12. My touchpad is partly to blame for being uncooperative, but the bigger problem was me looking for the wrong word. Good luck you two.
Word Wizard
22 Oct 2009, 12:31
Nice work Kathy! Game On! :)
Kathy
22 Oct 2009, 09:10
Yeaaa, 1:22 today. I'm back in the saddle!
Word Wizard
22 Oct 2009, 08:59
Wow! Great time. And I see what you mean. Those Carriebean countries just jumped out at you:) I did it in 1:43.
Word Maven
22 Oct 2009, 05:12
So, this one was apparently easy for me as I did it in 1:12. It was over before I knew it.
Word Wizard
21 Oct 2009, 11:01
2:26 today. Pretty fun one today. Units of time were a little tough to think of.
Kathy
21 Oct 2009, 07:48
Oh dear, that was brutal. I should know better than to attempt this before my coffee! Yesterday was good though with a 2:48.
Word Maven
21 Oct 2009, 04:14
Several categories gave me trouble today, 3:57. Good mental work out.
Word Wizard
20 Oct 2009, 09:34
Not too bad today. 2:35. I didn't look at the clues for quite a while and that may have hurt me:)
Word Maven
20 Oct 2009, 03:53
Well done! The poker hands were a problem for me and stopped me in my tracks. Today was only o.k. at 3:19, birds, grr.
Word Wizard
19 Oct 2009, 09:57
1:49!! Got on one of those rolls today where the words just started jumping off the page. Got stuck a little bit but never too long. Good luck!
Word Maven
17 Oct 2009, 03:58
Zero gave me trouble as well. I don't know how long I was looking straight at it and not seeing it. Today I got stuck when trying to come up with a second organ. I had several in mind, but it wasn't either of them... 2:45 anyway.
Kathy
16 Oct 2009, 14:30
3:11 for me. I should have read your comment before doing the puzzle cause I was stuck on zero too!
Word Wizard
16 Oct 2009, 10:16
Hi Kathy--Glad to know there are others having Word Round Up fun out there:) 2:49 for me today. Kind of a tough one. I don't often think of zero as a number for some reason:) Good luck!
Kathy
15 Oct 2009, 11:44
I've been doing these for a couple of weeks now and haven't beat you guys yet. Been close though! Today was 2:45. I play these at work on my break or lunch hour for a little fun.
Word Wizard
15 Oct 2009, 09:57
Wow! 1:15. Impressive. The pressure was on and I couldn't pull it out. 2:36 for me. Isthmus!! We can't be the only two people out there doing this puzzle. Can anyone beat a 1:15 today?!
Word Maven
15 Oct 2009, 03:57
Sometimes I amaze myself, 1:15 this morning. I'll just rest on my laurels for a bit now.
Word Wizard
14 Oct 2009, 09:12
Nice work. 2:51 for me. You say Autumn, I say Fall:)
Word Maven
14 Oct 2009, 04:40
A 2:14 this morning in spite of my brain feeling fuzzy. More coffee please.
Word Wizard
13 Oct 2009, 09:00
3:17. It's not easy to think of five canines:)
Word Maven
09 Oct 2009, 05:31
4:10, hanging head in shame. There's no excuse for having as much trouble with the parts of the eye as I did.
Word Wizard
08 Oct 2009, 12:40
I think increasing your computer's speed is cheating:)

Well, I broke the 2:00 mark with a 1:54!

FYI-Scorpio is a zodiac sign not Scorpion:)
Word Maven
08 Oct 2009, 05:04
Aren't you glad Mediterranean wouldn't fit in the puzzle?

I stunned myself with a 1:23 today. I've been working on boosting my computer's speed because it's been positively crawling for several weeks. I think I succeeded.
Word Wizard
07 Oct 2009, 08:26
2:43. Did a little better today. Learned how to spell arctic ocean:)
Word Wizard
06 Oct 2009, 10:10
3:13. Is it just me or are these getting harder?:) October was staring me right in the face!
Word Maven
06 Oct 2009, 05:37
4:23 Note to self, read clues carefully.
Word Wizard
05 Oct 2009, 09:19
3:31. Boy, that was a tough one. Is it just because it is Monday morning?:)
Word Maven
05 Oct 2009, 04:42
3:52. Iran was my undoing. I had convinced myself that Mali would be the last four letter country.
Word Wizard
02 Oct 2009, 09:05
2:02 today! I like your strategy. I do the same thing, just go until no more words jump out at me:) Have a great weekend! Thanks for the challenge and playing along. If I don't get to the puzzle this weekend I will be back Monday.
Word Maven
01 Oct 2009, 05:20
2:05 today. This has been a long good score streak, any day now I'll come up with a 5 or 6 minute solution time. Signs of the Zodiac is an example of a category that is almost always my undoing.
Word Maven
30 Sep 2009, 16:33
I hate to admit this because it may help you, but I don't even read what I'm looking for until I don't see anything obvious. I start with the top left corner, and there is always a diagonal word. Then I just look for words--it helps to be a speed reader. When nothing jumps out at me I look to see what I'm looking for. Usually I already have a good idea because of what I've found.
Word Wizard
30 Sep 2009, 10:36
A 2:40 today. Man, one of those units of measure was tough. I've never used that word:) And the four flowers really turned out to be four bodies of water. That threw me a little. I may try that other puzzle but only after I do this one on Arthritis Today's site.
Word Maven
30 Sep 2009, 03:16
1:38 today, still pretty good. There is a bigger Word Roundup here...

29 Sep 2009, 08:53
I knew 1:31 was going to be tough to beat so I had to have any extra cup of coffee before I started. It didn't help though. You got me today Word Maven. I came in at 2:18. Nicely done. But I'll be back tomorrow!:)
Word Maven
29 Sep 2009, 04:02
2:07 for yesterday's puzzle, darn it. Today was much better at 1:31.
Word Wizard
28 Sep 2009, 10:04
Hey Word Maven,

Sorry I missed Friday's puzzle but your 1:18 time is very impressive. You are giving me a run for my money so I had to pick it up a notch and I did today's puzzle in 1:25. How'd you do?
Word Maven
25 Sep 2009, 05:04
My goal is finish in under two minutes--so I'm more than satisfied with today's 1:18. I wonder how Word Wizard will do.
Word Wizard
24 Sep 2009, 10:57
I was on a roll today. Time was 2:24. Fining four-letter mammals was fun and not as hard as I thought it would be. Didn't think I knew a French sci-fi author but I did.
Word Wizard
23 Sep 2009, 09:05
Today's time 3:36. Seven religious titles was fun but a little tough. And I studied Latin so the Spanish terms were a bit difficult until I figured out what the words were. Good Luck!
Word Wizard
22 Sep 2009, 10:58
Wow! I impressed myself today with a time of 2:52. I didn't think finding 9 major rivers of the world would be too easy. Good Luck!
Word Wizard
18 Sep 2009, 13:59
OK. Today's time to beat is 3:47. I was rolling along until that last school class.
Word Wizard
17 Sep 2009, 09:05
I'm back! It's been a while since I rounded up some words. Today's puzzle was tough I have to admit. I completed in a time of 4:26. I challenge all to best that time. I'll come back every day and post my time and see who can beat it. It will be a fun little challenge:) Have a great day!

Ok, I gave everyone a little bit more of chance to beat my time Word Roundup today. Only did it in 2:16 today. I was a little off today:)
