hidentreasure Nov 29, 2005	What about dots? That is one lllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooonnnnnnng list
BraingleMaster2 Dec 06, 2005	Also several words in that list are not words
morning_rain08 Jan 06, 2006	FriarFox- someone used anagram.com... Tricky teaser
morning_rain08 Jan 06, 2006	That's not what I meant lol. There's some website... gives you a bunch of words out of any random letters you type in there... haha
SPUTNIK2 Jan 25, 2006	that was alot of fun trying to solve, thanks for the fun teaser
vancon Feb 12, 2006	Great teaser! Thanks!
kashby Mar 05, 2006	friarfox must have spent hours
blackmarket69 Mar 11, 2006	if a squirrel is killed by a falling tree with nobody around, does it make a sound?
TehIgnored Mar 17, 2006	I thought I had to build on the previous word, always using the same letter....ie I It Hit so on and so forth.
lorelle_b Apr 01, 2006	Wow! Great one. And that is one freaking long list
xdbtcp May 24, 2006	me too TehIgnored - I got: I IS HIS THIS HEIST THESIS then I gave up....
Smudge May 25, 2006	following xdbtcp's rule, you could still have: i it sit mist smith theism homiest mothiest methodist methodists following TehIgnored's rules: (i assume he meant you can't change the order of the letters either), you could have: i it dit dite dites ... i don't think you can get further than 5 letters, but feel free to prove me wrong!
sabrefang Aug 24, 2006	I didn't get it. I thought each word had the last one in it. I IS HIS THIS ...didn't get any further.
rrn0rrnrrnY Sep 02, 2006	that loooong list may have come from anagram.com but judging from the words missing and the words that aren't words my guess is it came from the ntworld Scrabble Solver. I didn't use the pages address as I don't know if the site rules allow a full address. I was able to solve it, but like others my words were different using the rule described above.
kristybubba Dec 06, 2006	i got i it the sims and thats all
teasermaster Dec 21, 2006	I got up to I Is The Dots Modes Thesis Fun teaser!
Sromio Feb 27, 2007	I IT SIT STEM STEMS METHOD METHODS MOISTEST hehe that's as far as i got...
cooltigerr1 Apr 01, 2007	this was easy! and really fun cuz i like word games =D good job!
babycee Apr 03, 2007	good one.
luckyduck Apr 08, 2007	This is cool because their can be more than one answer! I got... I IS THE MODE TIMES MISSED METHODS MOISTEST METHODIST METHODISTS This was fun
violinist3746 May 07, 2007	i liked this one because it could have more than one answer, but i didn't come up with any others for the 9 and 10 letters words besides the answers.
GreenApples27 Mar 02, 2012	I assumed you weren't allowed to change any letters you had previously added... Quite confusing rules.
