Nice word on Word Soup
Nice word on Word Soup
I was never much good at this and hardly played it,but I do occasionally check out the high scores.The pub I was in the other day had the highest scoring word of 'mizzenmast' which I thought was quite a nice word.There was a time on here when it was a much discussed topic,and also a really popular punter game.I wonder if a reboot might attract some punter interest.That rarely seen G-Box had a similar game where you had to score so many points on a screen to progress to another - while the G-Box doesn't seem to have caught on ,that game might.
Word wizardry from a long time ago...

A happier time. Sad to see so many of those venues that have disappeared.Nil Satis wrote:Word wizardry from a long time ago...

Indeed,Northern Monkey,i wonder how many of those pubs listed are still extant as quiz machine sites.Thanks for the link,Nil Satis,although I occasionally read this forum in those days I never posted and was not aware of that website.I used to enjoy Sum Up too though not sure I can quite remember the rules now.Looking at the different word games on that website does make me think that it would be good to have a new word game.
