The MANIFESTLY ten letter game
« on: July 16, 2019, 08:30:28 PM »
What a corker! Didn't get there but over seventy words with a Y was a challenge. Well done to all the rosettes.  I for one discovered a wonderful, summery word that I loved - MAYFLIES - how pretty. Missed FEALTY and MEASLY (not sure how I missed measly) but it was a true challenge. Loved it!

One of the best games we have had for some time.
mayflies was the last word I saw.

.....and speaking of mayflies, this is one of my all time favourite cartoons, which I first saw in the late, lamented Punch magazine many years ago

(Apologies if the caption is not clear; it reads 'You're being reincarnated as a mayfly, Mr Hoskins. Have a nice day.')
