[stares] That's just *weird*.

(Am working through my To Do list this morning, honest guv. Just taking a break before getting on to work-reading.)

I felt Greg making 'row' plural was definitely against the spirit of it - grin - but it did score him more that way.

It's actually quite hard to break out of the pattern once it gets going, as you can only really play off the ends, and we're both getting quite creative with making two three letter words at once.

I'm in all day, so if you want me to phone any time, just let me know.

I was about to say all my games with beermat seem to be a variation on that! johncoxon came over to mine and saw I was playing and insisted on having a look at the game to help me with my move. When I opened it up he just stared at it for a while and eventually said, "But that's just really weird!"

Interesting. My last game with him was totally different - right out to all four corners and much longer words on average. But the only six and seven letter words were played by me.

I wonder how much impact the length of the first word played has on a game overall?

The thing is, the longer it goes on, the harder it is to break the pattern as the only places you can go are at the ends.

Oh darn, I hadn't noticed that I broke the pattern! Apologies
