As usual, I have nothing much to say. I played this a lot over the weekend and I lost some games and won others. I can’t remember any amusing words that were allowed, nor any that were disallowed seemingly at random.

This is the problem with a gaming diary. I have to blog about this game, otherwise it will seem like I have stopped playing and if there’s any point at all to this thing, it’s to show what I play over time – which games get one day of play, then disappear, which games keep on giving over weeks or months – but that doesn’t mean I have anything to say about them.

Sometimes, the fates (letters) conspire against you.

Not a good way to start a game.

Played a lot of this over my long weekend.

By the way, if you’re wondering why there were no updates yesterday, it was my wedding anniversary and so my wife and I went down to Hastings and had a great time with claw machines, ice cream, sticks of rock, lovely fried food at the “famous” Mermaid Restaurant, etc. We also saw the world’s creepiest children’s ride.

“Wanna come for a ride, little kid?”

(By the way, that photo was taken with my iPhone. It does things that aren’t games… sometimes.)

Anyway, I’m winning some games and losing others. There really doesn’t seem to be pattern.

I’m resigning a lot more often now, when it’s obviously hopeless and there are no more letters in the bag.

Normally, I wouldn’t resign from a game. I like to take them to the bitter end.

However, with those scores the way they were and with the Q stuck in my hand I didn’t see any way out, so that game I gave up on. I wish there was some sort of etiquette for resigning. Looking back, I should have just used the chat screen to explain my decision.

I managed to use all my letters in one word last night.

(I hope nobody notices that two of them were blanks. That makes it much less impressive.)
