The name of the game
« on: March 06, 2019, 06:09:02 PM »
Why is this game called Chihuahua? Is it because it's a tricky word to spell? I know I got it right in a typing test whilst being interviewed for a job in a newspaper classifieds department - you had to be a good speller when taking so many different ads.

I think most players have asked this at one time or another. I know I did.

You'll find the answer on the Q and A page, near the bottom of the page under 'Other'.

In my testing of the 7-by-many game I did see chihuahua come up once as a possible word. Having only 5 different letters, it was not the seed word for the puzzle.
