You know, I think I once knew that "RIDICULOUS" was "LUDICROUS? I?".

ROOSTER YIP is REPOSITORY.

And now that I get around to it, how about
MULIFICENT RACER ?

MULIFICENT RACER

Get around to being circumferential??

How about To Kill a Mockingbird, and that part about "entailment"?

ENTAIL CHAPTER

ENTAIL CHAPTER

(I think I've figured out this one!)

The town of Barre (pronounced BAR-ry) isn't far away. Therefore I live

NIGH BARRE

(And Spring can't be too far away, either!)

A robin is a harbinger of good things to come...

Come on, Hab... how about "entail chapter"?

Do I really have to? (I thought "the medium was the message.") ...he added, parenthetically

So you're up, for having solved harbinger.

Hab,

People are being left in the dark...

which is better than staying at the

BALSAMIC INN

( I just finished "Flyboys" by James Bradley... upsetting)

BALSAMIC INN

Cannibalism. I trust you didn't mean MIL CANNABIS, which would be a _very_ thin reefer...

How about CULTURARTS. Or is that redundant?

Hab, you are correct... I've learned my lesson about reefer madness..!

CULTURARTS

So far all I have is

POLITEST G.I. and
O.I.G.SPITTLE and
O, IT'S PIGLET and
TITI-GOSPEL, which is that evangelical mission set up by the lake, high in the Peruvian Andes...

Got it: I POST LEGIT is EPIGLOTTIS.

Now:

COIN PISS ??? I've scrambled and scrambled.. Help.

Oh, just think poltergeists and parapsychology and teleportation and levitation and such - do you know the name of that science? Other than parapsychology? What kind of forces are involved?

gawd this is embarrassing. Would you believe I cannot for the life of me remember what it was that I jumbled? And I cannot find my notes. What do we do now? I am so humiliated. I shall go and put sack cloth and ashes upon my head, and wail into the night. Who cares if this is just a game? Oh, the shame of it all... the shame....

Not to worry. a) It's not the first time it's happened, and b)We'll figure it out anyway eventually and refresh your memory!

getting farther afield but maybe somebody will be inspired to think of something

Take out the S and put in two Es and you can make HYMENOPTERA !

Also, SMART PHONY plus AGA is PHANTASMAGORY
and without the AGA we can construct/invent PHANTOMSRY

Needs an extra M for SOMNAMBULIST?

Just in case that's correct I'll propose:

Play on that TREADMILL with a VIOLIN BO and get Fred Allen's autobiography

Yes. Successful test. I think.

nope; I can't spell. No way. Cannot spell.
And Hab is a genius.

I think I stop playing this game.

Jo, don't stop playing!!! It's addictive.

Here's a new word, since Hab is so intelligent he can scramble letters which aren't there!

I think I have them all:

...I cannot do colors

I gather from your well-documented problems with the board's mechanics that you can't click on the "palate" icon and make things come out colored... but have you tried doing it manually? If not, try typing

["color:red"]

or green-blue-yellow-white-black-pink-purple-brown-grey; pick any one, that's the whole list
and then type whatever text you want to color,
and then type

["/color"]

{leave out the quotation marks; they're only there to render the commands visible}

and then post it somewhere - even in a PM to yourself if you don't want anyone else to see you experimenting - and see if it works!
