I guess it just wasn’t happening today.

It’s to stop us getting to big for our boots​:rofl::rofl:
But the brain exercise is still good.
Have looked at the alphabetical places game on here, but there’s another which I don’t understand. It’s the thread with this in. How do the replies link, or don’t they??

Oh yes we can’t get too big for out boots :rofl::rofl:

The word play game is about picking one word that links to the previous post and coming up with a sentence with the word in. We usually put that word in capitals so we can see the word we chose.

In the pic you’ve shared MOST was the word used & the previous post will have had that word in it somewhere.

Not sure I have explained that very well but hopefully you can make some sense of it.

Perfect explanation. So you can be helpful by using long sentences???

Oh yes. That’s a definite help.

Wendy - you mentioned there were lots of new games on this page. Have you managed to try any?
I tried the Mini and the Letter Boxed.

Not yet, will have to apply myself
Just tried the mini and letter boxed jury is out.
The pattern one was horrid for me

It was an unlikely word. Here we go, it’s left my head already, such an odd feeling.

Once the first 3 are done, the 4th is a given even if you don’t know it.
I find that once the answer is revealed, it looks so obvious. If you look back where you had 3/4 and are looking for the 4th member, it makes you wonder why you can’t see it.

I got 3/4 in all the sets, but just couldn’t find the “missing” one.

On the plus side, I solved my first Letter Boxed puzzle and only took 4 words instead of the 6 suggested to complete, so I was well chuffed about that.
