I hope that Chihuahua is not giving me a character analysis of my inadequacies in the two words I missed - excellence and innocence.
Regards, Jack

You're not Robinson Crusoe there Jack...  :P

They weren't the only fairly obvious (in retrospect) words missing from my list!!!

Doxydaisy was back in form today, together with blackrockrose, Binkie, dragonman, Jancsika, Roddles and Maudland (who I guess you could say, is on a roll now - I hope I haven't just mozzed you Maud)  ;D

ozzyjune missed by one with her partner in crime, ozzyjack, together with rogue_mother one further back on nineteen - all creditable performances...

yelnats just missed out on being in that bunch with common eighteen words found and then there was a big gap to myself and vizal who scored fifteen hard won words extracted...

What do you mean? I said:
(who I guess you could say, is on a roll now - I hope I haven't just mozzed you Maud)  ;D
...and, anyway, I've got just one to go as well!

It’s always good to blame something / someone rather than my own brain though!  >:D
But - yippee, found it at last! (The old walking away trick.)

No I can't, my SENSELESSNESS prevented me!!!  :'( I managed a maven but I would have traded that for some less senselessness...

Doxydaisy is back in the game; Maudland joined her on 44 common words; Roddles, ozzyjune and I were left staring into the abyss and the abyss refused to answer!

Two words off the mark saw Jancsika (HJ), dragonman and rogue_mother wondering where they'd gone wrong...

yelnats managed 39 words and blackrockrose, 37, with ozzyjack clocking in at 36 and vizal, 34.

I think it was a tough set of letters - let's hope today's is better...

Until today I never had cause to wonder what the plural of "lasso" might be. Now I  know!

It's actually a verb i.e. the act of lassoing something as in "The cowboy lassoes the steer, bringing it to the ground."

Yes, that makes sense, so thanks!

(Although until today I'd never had cause to wonder what the 3rd person singular of the verb "lasso " was either!)

That’s a phenomenal score though, John - 7th on the board!

I spent a good while checking -lesses and -nesses, trying to find that elusive Last Word. (Been caught out there before and no doubt will be again.) And tried a few random -es words too, so caught LASSOES. And what was my last word? ANALYSE  :-R A word I use most days.

Congratulations to Doxydaisy, Auntiemo and indeed to anyone who managed to find TENANTRY, unlike me!

I admit to holding back the "y" and just clicking shuffle over and over again until something caught my eye! Not a word I would ever have thought of. Maybe it's cheating to some players....

Sorry all - been having computer problems...

You know what they say "To err is human, to really stuff things up you need a computer" ...
