I found this harder than it at fist looked. For instance, if you guess "ember" and "limbo" for the first two, you later have to reject those because you don't enough of the right letters left, so you have keep revising. I didn't do very well, but it was fun trying.
Or the football (soccer) player, Patrick Mboma . Nice tzr
what team is the mboma guy on? i dont think i've ever heard of him.
this was a real burn! good job.
pretty good, I agree that there are too many possibilities.
Lol... rh, those were exactly what I had for the first two and then Crumb instead of climb but then i realized that didn't have enough letters for it to work so yup... basically agree there's too many possibilities
combs chamber amber and the list just keeps going. i remembered more than they listed and i am not the best at this.
I agree with everyone. I gave up. Good job. Thanks for posting.
I thought of amble right off the bat, alas, no A. It was tricky, but a good workout for the old brain. I didn't get all of them, but I didn't disgrace myself.
This was soooo hard. I finaly had to give up. Great job on thinking this up.
Start with the big words and "work backwards." That eliminated the multiple possibilities fir the shorter words.
...for the shorter words.
Dang my accent...

I thought this was a good one, I just didn't know that "imbed" was a word. There are lots of possibilities, that's what made it challenging. Even if you start with the longer words you can still "stumble" off the track. Nice one!
Yaaay! Good one. I started off with imbue and got to # 4 and did not have enough letters left to make another word. Very challenging.
I got this on the first try. I saw trombone and jumbo right away. The rest was pretty easy with what was left.
What happened to GWOLF? We miss your remarks.
WOW I thought that was a very hard one it had too many possibilities I also gave up. I would have been here all day. LOL But it was a very good one even though I had omber for the first one. I kept it up trying but I didn't do well.
Glad I gave up because I'd never have gotten imbed as a word. It just looks silly, never knew it was a variant spelling of embed.
