7 by many club

[rogue_mother]

I missed mealtime, so no dessert for me.

As the desire for a rosette intensifies near the end of a puzzle, the effort unifies the players, but it doesn't guarantee the result.

[Ozzyjack]

The altimeter setting was 29.87 inches of mercury, however if I knew this could also be expressed in millibars, I might have scored a rosette)

[Ozzyjack]

We forgot to caucus and hence no rosette, but we did get.

I suggest 96 people getting SUCCOTASH in the 7 by many is a fair display of how common, or uncommon that word is in the English speaking world.

[Maudland]

I’m relieved in a way - I can’t get in a stew for not finding SUCCOTASH.

Not necessarily. Only 69 people found toccata in this same puzzle, and yet no one is complaining about it, neither at present nor in the past seventeen years.

This is not to defend succotash. I know it well, having eaten it quite a bit as a child and having heard Yosemite Sam exclaim it for far too many years; however, it was the last or next to last word I found. The combination of letters was difficult for me to assemble from the mix.

The better reason to adjust its status as a common word would be that its use is almost exclusively North American, so far as I am aware.

[auntiemo]

I could probably have got a rosette, if I hadn't been so restless!

[Ozzyjack]

I use a clever tactic to distinguish between species of Acacia by examining the diacritic marks on their scientific names.

P.S. I can't remember the number of times I have told June that I will never miss acacia again.

[Maudland]

Please don’t throw MACADAMIA nuts at my head for failing to get a rosette.

What is it with these trees??

You misconstrue my desire. I wasn’t seeking a readjustment of status. Simply making comment that outside of the US, it would be an uncommon word. I do accept that this does happen, and when I saw it, I accept that I know it. I certainly wasn’t complaining.

Looks like you didn’t miss it yesterday! 🎯🏵️

[Ozzyjack]

I wouldn't expect to miss it for a week or two, but history is not on my side for getting it every time.

[rogue_mother]

I felt mighty poor without sufficient kronor in my pocket.

Me too. And I can barely bring myself to WRITE the word I missed yesterday - what a clanger!
