Two groups of four, and the top two will advance to the next round where they will play head to head in their respective brackets. I&#8217;m hoping for a semi-live event again. May record the contestants playing their boards ahead of time and sharing the vid in a Google doc for all to watch together (if such a thing is possible).<\/p>\n<p>So were the disappearing letters a hinderance at all?<\/p>\n<p>Did I explain horizontal\/vertical well enough? A lot of you left a lot of points in your standard list that would have qualified.<\/p>\n<p>Plurals! Always look for the plural. Also look for other forms of the word you just found. S, ED, and ER are your good friends.<\/p>\n<p>It was nice to come across a unique word every once in a while after seeing the same ones a bajillion times between this and my own games I play: Greek&#8217;s &#8220;GRISTLE&#8221;, Todashy&#8217;s &#8220;YESTER&#8221;, and yes, I loved Jon&#8217;s &#8220;SPERM&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Hope to have the next round out tonight.
