7 by many club

[rogue_mother]

Thanks for trying to move me up a notch, RTT, but I actually missed three: initiator, narration, and notional.

[jancsika]

ATTAIN and LARIAT for me.

[ridethetalk]

ozzyjune pulled out all stops today to take out our sole rosette – well done you!!! Four of us ended up as rosettenears with forty three commons found – they were doxydaisy, yelnats, Maudland and Roddles. Close, so very close…

Those vying for the diminutive award at two short were rogue_mother and ozzyjack whilst dragonman was one further back on forty. I scored thirty nine while auntiemo and ozzymAndias racked up thirty eight commons.

blackrockrose managed thirty six and 2dognight found thirty. vizal came in at twenty five and RL twenty four.

My oversights were ANNOTATION, INTONATION, NARRATION, ORATORIO and the third common word using all the letters: TOTALITARIAN – missing that probably means I ain’t one… 😉

rogue_mother was our stand-out maven today – your command of the English language astounds!!!

I must be going cross-eyed or something (probably the or something!)  - HJ (Jancsika) was our sole diminutive winner with the meaning for life, the universe and everything with rogue_mother and ozzyjack in the next position on forty one...

Sorry all, I'll try to do better in future - no promises though! 

[Maudland]

I missed LITTORAL - a new one on me.

I like your anti totalitarian stance on numbers, John 

[Ozzyjack]

Annotation, intonation and littoral

[blackrockrose]

Initiator, littoral, tiara (!!!) and totalitarian.

[ridethetalk]

Well I found this one very challenging - lots of wasted time shuffling letters around without getting very far!

Maudland, ozzyjune, ozzymAndias managed the number of weeks in a year as well as all the common words in today’s 7bm thereby achieving rosetteer status – I found this one quite difficult and send my heartfelt congrats to you all!!! Rosettenears must have kicked themselves for that single missing word, and the ones with the sore ankles today are 2dognight, blackrockrose, Roddles and ozzyjack.

doxydaisy and Jancsika take out the miniature prize for being two short while rogue_mother was just shy of bringing up the half-ton! dragonman was one further back on forty eight and yelnats found forty six. I uncovered forty five and HERETO I send myself back to the CRECHE until this HOODOO is removed. Perhaps a CHEERER and a CHORD on the piano will make sure I am not HOODOOED THERETO.

Meanwhile vizal discovered forty four commons, auntiemo found the meaning of life, the universe and everything and RL was in the game at thirty nine.

Mavens there were aplenty today with doxydaisy, rogue_mother, 2dognight, ozzymAndias, dragonman, blackrockrose, ozzyjack and ozzyjune all finding at least the seventy two words necessary to join this club… Well done all!!!

[jancsika]

I was Hoodoo(ed,).

[auntiemo]

It appears I was in good company yesterday...hoodoo and hoodooed, heeded, chert, creche, crotch,  chord and cheerer, echoed and hetero. I really struggled...obviously.
And then there is today's puzzle.....

[2dognight]

you are not wrong about sore ankles
Missed herded I ask you

[Ozzyjack]

I had the horrors but didn’t have HORROR.

[ridethetalk]

Whoa auntiemo! …and go blackrockrose 

[rogue_mother]

I was hoodooed by the hooded character practicing hoodoo. At least I was able to reach maven.

Well done, all you rosetteers and rosettenears!!

[ridethetalk]

We had a better representation in the rosetteers today with auntiemo, blackrockrose, ozzymAndias, ozzyjune and rogue_mother all getting the requisite eight² common words. Rosettenears were MIA, but ozzyjack joined the ranks of the wee ones being two short!!!

Next cabs off the rank were doxydaisy, Roddles, vizal and Maudland on sixty one with yelnats and Jancsika one further back on sixty. Next were myself and dragonman on fifty nine (five off the pace) – apparently, I was SENSING, not SEEING, the EFFIGIES of my GINSENG get DINGED and failed to spot those other five words!

RL was back on a creditable thirty six – it appears Roger and Lisa have got the hang of this…

rogue_mother, doxydaisy, auntiemo, myself, ozzymAndias and dragonman all managed to spot enough words to be considered mavens…

Will auntiemo get her rosette before I get to post this, like she did yesterday??? 

[jancsika]

Since I found GENII but not GENIE and GIGGING but not GIGGED, I'm going to need GEEING up ..
