Riker

68: musical term

Sp3000

12:34 AM

(Actually sorry, there's two. Hm.)

North

68 it is not SFORZA

Sp3000

Yeah I dunno which one Riker's thinking of :P

North

I shouldve stuck with MBAQANGAS and left yall in the dark

Riker

I didn't know sforza was a thing if that answers the question :p

North

Shucks

pass 68

user56656

12:35 AM

78: Audio effects

Riker

is that a musical term?

Eric Tressler

@North I think your strategy is flawed. There are so few words that begin with MB, all that happens is the game stalls out after 1 round or you lose

Since you can't win, it's much better to pick something that remains ambiguous for several letters

Riker

@0' did you remove your contact since you thought it was sforza?

North

Yeh thats true

Sp3000

Given the pass, I'm going to guess 68 is sforzando

0 '

12:36 AM

No I removed it because suddenly I couldn't remember how to spell

North

Lol

Oof

Riker

@Sp3000 can I confirm/rebute?

*fute

North

@EricTressler i did those words for fun (like a warm up)

Riker

wait is the game over

@EricTressler but is still reasonably rare

0 '

contact 78

Riker

12:37 AM

best case: has a very common prefix but is rare

North

Riker are you confirming Sp's answer?

Riker

i'm not I do'nt know whether I can

if he guesses does that count as a revealed letter

North

Riker

anyway it was that (sforzando)

was that your word?

North

Yes

Riker

12:38 AM

North

My word was SFORZANDO indeed!

Sp3000

(I was concerned it might have been sforzato, which I'm sure is similar and all)

Riker

if nobody minds, I'd like to resume my word from a while back (T E R right now)

North

Whoops did I typo

user56656

78 was SFX

North

12:39 AM

I did typo Sforza is not a word

Sforzato is a word I think
