Played terpsichorean at Vivek's party.
Ha, I didn't even know about Boticelli! Thanks for the link!
Aha -- thanks. Like Boticelli, only with improper nouns instead of names.
Wikipedia has a good overview of the rules.
How do you play this game?
Played borborygmus successfully while waiting for vans to GSK.
Last day: Played selfsame and stumped Vivek.
Today (6/12): Won on suzerainty until Nabil looked it up.
Well, I don't think I'll ever be able to play Contact again.
agora is a particularly good word. Even though it's short, people will run out at ago if I'm predicting correctly.
5/23: Calvin got jingoism on the bus.
5/7: squamous and rugose played and won.
5/3: Daniel got conniption at the National Museum of Natural History.
4/28: Shriram profferred leitmotif.
4/20: I won on postlapsarian at the NC STM dinner.
4/17: Daniel got solipsism. Shriram got prestidigitator. I won on prosopagnosia.
4/16: totemic, fungible, and couscous played. Vivek got couscous, I won the rest.
4/15: adamantine and zoetrope successfully played. adamantine has the problem of having the common word "adamant" being guessed; trying arguing that one off.
4/5: vivisect successfully stumped everybody at Science Olympiad.
Wikipedia has a good overview of the rules.
This game sounds like fun! How does it work?
Previously: Daniel got stentorian.
3/28: Vivek got doggerel thanks to Achenbach.
waif is better used as an awesome clue than an actual Wordmaster word.
