Help me in a word game...?

[HomerMcvie]

So my friend talked me into downloading this word game to my phone, called Hanging With Friends. It's sort of Wheel of Fortune on your phone.
Anyway, my friend has genius level IQ, and has very few friends, as he's usually so condescending towards people, that most shun him. Anyway, you're allowed 4 word "misses"....whoever misses the 5th word, loses the game. Well, I've held my own, and we each have 4 strikes! I'm on his word, and it's something I can't figure out, and I only have 2 "letter strikes" left. I'll never hear the end of it, if he beats me. PLEASE help me figure out this word. Here's what I HAVE figured out(x being the blanks)

x A L x O E D

The letters I have strikes on(no longer possibilities) are B N and T.

The remaining possible letters are C F G H I J K M P Q R S U V W X Y Z

WTF ends in OED? I can only miss two more letter guesses, and he wins the game. Please help me put my genius friend in his place!:lol:
Thanks for helping me cheat!:laugh::wavey:

[Silver Springs]

Is it Salvoed?

[HomerMcvie]

Is it Salvoed?

Maybe.....I'll wait for maybe another response, before I risk wasting my last two guesses....
I couldn't find a definition for salvoed, although I did discover a Scrabble sight, that says it's a word(although said it couldn't find a definition).

[Silver Springs]

Well the only other one that fits is Halloed, but the other L would have appeared. Good luck!

[HomerMcvie]

Well the only other one that fits is Halloed, but the other L would have appeared. Good luck!

THANKS. I'm going to go run some errands. When I get back, if there are no other guesses, I'll enter an S.


Thanks again!:xoxo:


Funny thing is, I KNOW he knows that he has me stumped. I've been sitting on this word for 2 days!! lol

[HomerMcvie]

Is it Salvoed?

YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU, so much!!!!!!:xoxo:

I've GOT to beat him. He's at least twice as smart as I!!!:lol:

[HomerMcvie]

Help me come up with the hardest word we can think of....my letter choices are:

H H E E N T O C R O C G


Let's call this game, Kill Bill!:lol:

[Silver Springs]

Thence, Ocher, Egret, Ergot, Conch, Etcher, Chert, Cogent.

Those are all the "intelligent words" I can think of with those letters, lol.

[HomerMcvie]

Thence, Ocher, Egret, Ergot, Conch, Etcher, Chert, Cogent.

Those are all the "intelligent words" I can think of with those letters, lol.

THANKS! I went with OCHER, as hopefully the hardest one to guess! :lol:

This guy is one of those guys, who's an expert on everything. Problem is, he doesn't just think he is....he really is.:shocked: I'm a reasonably smart guy, but I feel like a moron around him!:o

That's why beating him is so important to me!:laugh:

[HomerMcvie]

D-bag got it!:mad:

Next, I've got:

x O N x O x

Letters out are, D G L T

Available letters are A B C E F H I J K M P Q R S U V W X Y Z

I've only got two strikes left...:shocked:

Help Homie beat this guy!!!:angel:
Thanks!

But you're not beating him - Bee is. ;) And bangdrum.

[Dodfather]

How did I miss this thread?? I love word games! Said (for once) in a non-sarcastic way. I take my Scrabble etc very seriously... :)

[Dodfather]

But you're not beating him - Bee is. ;) And bangdrum.

:p BURN! :laugh:

[bangdrum]

:o:blob2::D

I'm another word nut, so I'm just good at this stuff. Blame my mother the English teacher, my grandma the vocabulary nut, and my perfect verbal SAT score. :p

I don't mind helping though!

(If it helps, I'm Jess. I don't really care if people call me bangdrum though.)

[Silver Springs]

Please tell me you read the dictionary too, Jess! I feel ever so insipid on my own, lol.

[HomerMcvie]

But you're not beating him - Bee is. ;) And bangdrum.

This is NOT about me. This is about taking a guy who knows everything, and HIM getting beat!!!

I've already admitted that he is FAR more intelligent than I. What else do you want, dream crusher?

[HomerMcvie]

:p BURN! :laugh:

Not when one's expectations are met....:lol:

[bangdrum]

Please tell me you read the dictionary too, Jess! I feel ever so insipid on my own, lol.

LOL. Yeah, I have been known to get too interested in the dictionary... and the encyclopedia... I'll read almost anything. :o

[HomerMcvie]

Dateline NBC....I WON!!!:laugh:

And with my own word, for those feeling snarky.:mad:

The larger the word, the fewer guesses you get. I put Tropical, and he only got 4 guesses, and lost.

I feel so less inferior to him now!!!:lol:

THANK YOU, to those of you who lack the snarky gene.:xoxo::xoxo::xoxo::xoxo::xoxo:

[Dodfather]

I think you know that ain't me... but I mean it in the best possible way! :nod:

[HomerMcvie]

I think you know that ain't me... but I mean it in the best possible way! :nod:

Alan, I know that, my friend.:nod: You're not snarky, at all.:D

[HomerMcvie]

I AM however, addicted to this game! I'm playing 4 random strangers at the same time.

For any of you that like word games, there's a free app, for I Phones and Android.

Hanging With Friends.

I can't put my phone down!:mad::lol:

[Dodfather]

Alan, I know that, my friend.:nod: You're not snarky, at all.:D

I have an abundance of snark. :)

[HomerMcvie]

I have an abundance of snark. :)

Well, we ALL do. Some of us are just more funny, and kind, with it.
That's the key!:wavey:
I only snark, with love.
Seriously.
I ignore the **** out of the douchebags that I can't stand!!!:lol::lol::lol:
When's your ass gonna meet me in Nashvegas?:confused:

Good philosophy to have!

Aw man, I'd get on a plane next week if I could! It will happen :D Hey, you can always come over here? Seriously... ever thought about a trip to Scotland? You'll have a place to crash!

Ho sh*t, I'll have to really start working on that accent!:lol:

And have I mentioned my ABSOLUTE TERROR of flying...?:shrug: I can do it, but there must be large quantities of booze involved!!!;)

What's the music scene like there? Lots of bagpipes, kilts, and drunk guys?:lol:

My advice is not to work on an accent unless you want to get on the wrong side of a few people! :lol: Besides, it's always better to have a different accent when you go on holiday somewhere! You'll be exotic and interesting, get drinks bought for you and, like my last time in Chicago... find it easy to be, ahem, "popular". :)

I love flying! Once I'm checked in etc and don't have to rush then the holiday starts at the airport. As for on the flight itself, I just relax and watch the movies! If booze needs to be involved for you then just as well it will be an international flight.. ffree booze!

Oh the music scene can be fantastic depending on which city you're in and if you know where to go. Yes, some parts of Scotland have fantastic traditional music - particularly the west coast and one particular bar where I am - but by that I mean brilliant folk/celtic etc and not bagpipes! Bagpipes are reserved for The Royal Mile in Edinburgh and are pretty much for tourists..shudder.. There's also some pretty good rock clubs etc but it all depends on which city you're in. Scotland is bigger than you'd think! :D

Did I make you cry, make you break down, shatter your illusions of...I don't know, crushing that smart dude's dreams? :laugh:

I was just posting an honest comment. :shrug: I didn't realize the point was for him to lose & not for you to win. So, congratulations I guess?

I'll be honest....I could use a good asswhooping....:p

Flying.....I'm just afraid of heights in general. I can do them, when I have to, but I don't f*cking like it!:mad: But booze does make it easier. In Nashville, I usually walk downtown from my hotel, which involves crossing a bridge across the Cumberland River. On the way downtown, I'm really nervous, if I start thinking about the height....on the way back, I don't give it a 2nd thought!!!:D:D:D

Yeah, I have little interest the Royal Mile or bagpipes. Or tourists! In Nashville, I almost NEVER do the tourist things. Hell, I'm there so much, many of the locals think I live there(I've been asked several times, "so what part of town do you live in?" "Uh, I commute 270 miles!").

Doesn't the amount of beer consumed by the time of your return trip have something to do with this?? ;)

[HomerMcvie]

Doesn't the amount of beer consumed by the time of your return trip have something to do with this?? ;)

And never mind the flask of whiskey in my pocket!

It is sort of amazing, though. All the anxiety of crossing that high bridge, is completely gone, after 12-15 drinks!:laugh:

[HomerMcvie]

BOILERS ???

But is that too simple?

[HomerMcvie]

Crap, I tried it, and it was "bowlers".

SO CLOSE! Thanks for your help, though! I do appreciate it.

At least he and I are 1-1 now, so AS LONG AS I WIN THIS NEXT F*CKING GAME, I won't hang myself!!!!!(that is a complete joke):lol:


FWIW, this app does eat up a sh*t ton of memory, so I told him I might have to delete it.......(seriously, on the memory,.....my phone has been freezing up.....)

Thanks again, though!!!:wavey:

Guess 5 wrong letters in a row, and you're screwed, unless you really get lucky.....:mad:

No one? He's texted me, asking "why won't you respond to my word?"

BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE ONE STRIKE LEFT! :p

Any guesses?

[skcin]

Just text him & tell him your friends haven't gotten back to you with an answer yet. I'm sure he'll patiently wait. :)

Are you certain you asked for "I"?

SKEIN

[HomerMcvie]

Are you certain you asked for "I"?

SKEIN

Yep, the I is gone.

I'm stumped.....:confused:

[Dodfather]

It might be SCEON but I'm not entirell sure if it's an English word as such or a Germanic one that has been adopted for English use (like Schadenfreunde)...

It could also be SHEWN - more likely.

[bangdrum]

After staring at this for a day and tossing things into Google, my only (tentative) guess is SHEWN.

This is a hard one! :shocked:

I'll be the European snark genius and I'll allow you to hold the US title (for the moment). The vistor will be decided at a Snark cenference in Nashville asap.
