Well, another tough low scoring game with four of our number managing to eke out a rosette, these being doxydaisy (yet again), dragonman, Maudland and Roddles with all 20 common words! Well done all!!!

ozzyjune, blackrockrose, Jancsika, yelnats, auntiemo, rogue_mother and ozzyjack were rosettenearest with all of them losing elevation by being two short.

I was three off the pace with CIRCA, MINIMA and NIACIN being my trip up words. vizal trailed the bunch at 16 words found but he is time compromised by having to adjudicate all the word suggestions...  :-P :-P :-P

I don't really see how manana can be a word without a tilde or adding a y (maƱana or manyana). But I did have it.

Like John, I also missed circa and minima. However, I got niacin; it was the first word I found. Go figure.

Oh boy, another tough one and congratulations must go to doxydaisy for being the only one of us to score a rosette with 52 common words!!!

Rosettenears included yelnats, dragonman and ozzyjune - well done folks!

rogue_mother scored 50, I scored 49 and ozzyjack managed 48 - my missing words were ENTENTE, IMITATE (doh!) and INITIATE (double doh!)

Roddles and Maudland totalled 46 with Jancsika on 43. There was then a gap to blackrockrose (39) and vizal (38)

I hope today's 7bm will be easier - I don't know which is harder, only one vowel or only three consonants...

I missed lots of words I should have found, but I would never have found minuteman and minutemen if I'd looked all day. Never heard of them before.

I'm going to ask Alan to make them both rare in the Words thread.

I had imminent but missed immanent, being the only one I missed.

I got minutemen/man early but minutiae came much later. I knew the minutem.. words but didn't remember their exact role.

Too many to mention for me 😳

Congratulations to doxydaisy for the rosette, and dragonman for a maven score. Outstanding both!

Well, today's puzzle saw a LOT of rosetteers - yelnats, doxydaisy, Roddles, ozzyjack, ozzyjune and Maudland - well done all!

Rosettenears included auntiemo, myself (POPPA was my downfall!) and dragonman - all on twenty common words found.

rogue_mother, blackrockrose and Jancsika were one further back on a diminutive nineteen. (two short ;) )

Whilst vizal came in at sweet sixteen...

dragonman was a standout with a maven yet again... Well done!
