I've missed more than one contest!!!!  I cannot compete with all these geniuses in town!! Impressive.  Ah well, at least they are kind geniuses!

 So is "alligator" next?? I'm never sure. I've been working on my photo work all day and time has flown by, as it always does when I get involved in work I love.

Betty & Mary seems like you forgot "SEEM" sell & cell, "some" pl. re "sums"

shall I use up all the "Clues" already? That will not be fair....but 35 will win 5 clicks. Better go back to FG and click distinctly (got my adverb there, right?) shalomandglorytogodthegiver

The new word for the SPELLRIDER VOCAB GAME TONIGHT is in: m o l e c u l e s

Meanwhile just a reminder, certain words submitted (though not reducing anyone below 35 words) have spelling errors or cannot be made with these letters. Two examples: SEPERATION is spelled wrong, but since we have THREE A's we can correct thus : "S-E-P-A-R-A-T-I-O-N." nOW inspiration IS A GOOD WORD, BUT "exasperation" FAILS TO OFFER US TWO N's. Again, no problems...just making sure I keep my hat as a teacher/serious gamer.

I will celebrate a haiku/senryu to my Lord for helping me find my wallet--many mercies He shows me. Alelujah. Thanks all who prayed for me and my family-- esp. Carole, Mary, Irish, TAPS and Siyara.

Durbin - God morning to you, fine Wordsmith! These are beautiful choices.

I thank you.  Without a doubt, I choose the most pretty, because I can see lovely hearts and flowers in the sparkling filagree.  So the one in the middle and please pass it on to LadyCee for me as I feel sad she didn't play this time and maybe this will brighten her day, okay?  God Bless You!

Asperation & Exasperation!Tony-lengthen yr ASP.Intern needed, missing one N

Great lists guys. Mary sure is a good sport...Irish3, great list and SunnyBeach7, you did it. Well beyonf 35....better start clicking away as I may have more than 3  #% word and 5 clcik winners). Now, all three ladies have won bc we need just 35 to win; but we DO NOT HAVE TWO S's. So if there is an S in your word already, that word cannot be pluralised. The one S in EXASPERATION has been used in the singualr word like "paSte" or ""teSt". Thanks and have a lovely word-filled and abundantly poetic day. shalom
