I counted 39 rosettes, no idea if that would be a record, Alan may be able to answer that question for you, Rose.
I have said before that i do not think that there are any easy games in chi.
While yesterday's game contained mostly " easy " words, you still have to find them & you only have to scroll through the scoreboard to see that a number of very capable players (a few of them club members ) were unable to find rosettes.

RADICCHIO was not a common word for me.

No.
However i do skim over all of your posts but only read in detail those that interest me.
When glasnost was raised in the 7bm thread my only comment was that i had never heard of the word.
Even though (& i did consider it) no challenge was submitted, you chose to reclassify the word.
Consequently, i have skimmed over your post of four days ago with little interest & quickly forgotten about it as i had not raised any challenge.
It was only when fatwa came up today that i remembered that i never did challenge glasnost so i thought that i would take the opportunity to challenge both words & that resulted in my post today.

So sorry Alan, i failed to do a search.
What do you think about fatwa?

G'day Alan, i know that there has been some informal discussion about glasnost & that you, Mike & others have made it clear that the word is very familiar to yourselves, historians & those who follow worldwide politics & have a good memory.
None the less, i would ask that you focus on the regular chi formula to consider reclassifying glasnost as a rare word & no longer allow it as a seed word.
In a similar vein, i would also like to challenge the status of fatwa.

Well done in winning today's little "race" to the rosette, just in front of Stan.

Yesterday, i missed aerator ( doh ), effete & fatwa

I have not been so desperate in this game as i still have 3 common words to find so my hit rate has not suffered as much.
