The game told me "cosh" was not a real four-letter word. I'd like to hit that dictionary with a short blunt metal stick and shout "What do you call this thing?" THUD! "Well what is it?" WHUMP! "What?" CRUNCH!
Looks like it uses Dictionary.com. From their site: "Clicking on a word opens a window with the definition inside of it. (Please Note: RobinWords is not affiliated in any way with Dictionary.com)"
And gaspode, I think a shorter game is harder to achieve than a long one. I kept trying to end it by using words I didn't think the computer could change but it just went on - and is actually still going on - so I think if you're able to end it soon, that's even more of an achievement.
I won my first game with four words and am in the middle of a second game. I've paused to come over here and report it will accept a certain four letter word for a woman's parts, beginning with a C. That is all.
Lost one after 21 words, won one after 24. My first attempt I lost after 5 words and twice I abandoned the game after not being able to come up with a legal word though the game told me some existed... one interesting thing about the game is there's no apparent penalty for typing in a 'non-word' so if I'm stuck I can just keep typing in guesses of which letter to change, but when it reaches that point, it's just not fun anymore.
Yeah, and I kind of wish there was a "give up" button that would show me what a playable word would have been. Fun mental exercise though. And on my final round: won on the 216th word with "Ills".
