A fun little brain teaserer

You get one a day. Good to engage the ol’ brain for 5 minutes. It’s important for us elderly people.

This is basically Lingo ITV 3pm weekdays

I got 3 letters in the first two attempts and still couldn't get the word :fist:

D

oes not work on Edge browser

Luckily got it on the 5th attempt even though I didn't get a single letter in the right place before that

I got it on my 4th try

I didn’t bother

Can you post it Daily TS....we can compete.

Stupid game.

How about a round or two of Top Answers, Niamh?

Yeah I could do that, I'll get a round together tomorrow

I have a question.

That's a coincidence. Destiny's Child had some of them.

I didn't get today's one I am gutted :bawling:. My wife got it on her last attempt. That makes it even WORSE.

Doesn't seem to be working for me today, no matter what letters I type in for the 1st guess it won't accept them and says "not in word list"?

You're probably trying weird Irish 5 letter words like "feoil" and "niamh".

Honestly I don't know though, I've only ever done it on my phone and it's been fine.

I did it on my phone yesterday and it was fine, I tried it on my PC today and when it didn't work I tried it one my phone and it still didn't work :(

Ok got it, 5th attempt today. My problem was I actually didn't realise you needed to put proper words in each time, I thought you could throw in random letters :p I must have just got lucky that each of my guesses were proper words yesterday :laugh:

I just end up having arguments with my phone. "HMPH I'm pretty sure that IS a word. What does it mean? I don't know but it looks like a word to me."

That was also my "words with friends" tactic.

Funny side story; I once got sectarian abuse from some old bloke on Words with Friends because I used the word "bhoys". :umm2:.

Why? what is that supposed to mean? :laugh:

The lovely message I got said, "what U a ****in' Tim or somethin".

Some guy from Fife I think, tried to sell me some 2nd hand auction goods too.

Doesn't sound offensive?

"boy" is used in the Cork dialect a lot actually, you can guarantee if someone from another Irish county is doing the Cork accent, they will add "boy" on to the end of the sentence :laugh:

It's not that the word is offensive, it's a word Celtic fans often use to refer to themselves/the team ("The Bhoys") and he thought that because I used it, I must be a Celtic fan, and thus Catholic :joker:. Which is the part he clearly found offensive. Playing anonymous internet Scrabble with a Catholic :fist:.

Oh OK, so he was the one being a bit of a bigot then not accusing you of being one for using the word?
