Exhibition
Nicolas Gouny has announced his upcoming exhibition including the artwork of our very OWN Suzanne Woolcott, the details for it are on his blog (look over there in the blog love section –>) and I’m not very good at French but the title of the blog entry is.. Le repos du guerrier (et son exposition aussi)
If anyone finds any interesting details there, could you please translate them and maybe make a comment in this blog for us please.. thank you.
Suzanne has always admired Nicola Gouny’s work and would reccomend that you check it out…… And for all you taggers out there, his work is also available to license through AMI.
BLOG
Well isnt it just a wee quick blog tonight… and earlier than usual…. thats because Andrew Murry is playing Novac Jokkyfish tonight, and we are watching it, which means we will be checking your comments all night long…
COMPETITION RULES and SMALL PRINT
When posting your words, please also add the score you think it is worth… the tiles all have a numerical value on them so use this to help add your words score up. There are no double letter/word or trebble letter/word squares to be used… so no cheating.. Also in the event of multiple people using the same word, the person suggesting the word first will be deemed the winner. Suzanne reserves the right to disgard words that she feels are better than her suggestions. Suzanne also plans to have a go at this competition so BEWARE!!!!! lol Have fun and may the best speller win……..
Woo hoo! It definitely sounds like fun! 🙂
Yeah i made a big oopsie and rather than clicking save, i clicked Publish….

I haven’t played Scrabble in years so my adding might be wrong. XD
ozone = 14
waltzes = 19
waltz = 17
ouzos = 14
snooze = 15
cozen = 16
consultant = 11
zealots = 16
zealot = 15
wonton = 9
wontons = 10
newton = 9
lancets = 9
lancet = 8
calzones = 19 🙂
ECTOZOANS =20
canzonets = 20
I wish I had an Oxford English Dictionary because some of the words I’m coming up with are very odd, haha. Oh! Suzanne, your name would be awesome in a real game…if it was my name, it would be quite hard to spell out any words at all!
ozonates
Wootzes! (19)
Zonulet! (16)
Can Scrabble words be longer than seven? 🙂
I’m sure the word is calzones = 19, but Robyn got it 🙂
My word is:
Zealot- 15 points
It is in the Oxford English Dictionary, I looked it up.:-)
PLEASE PLEASE- I wanna win!!!!!
LOL
Wendy
Here’s my guesses
Zocalos 19
Wazoos 18
Consultant 12
Wastelot 11
Ectozoon 19
Waltzes 19
now if we were playing boogle
woolen coats
if we are playing 7 letters lol …… calzone = 18
I was hungry when I read the post :blush:
Such a fun game, but unfortunately, I am terrible in word games. I tried making up words that relate to Suzanne since Scrabble is her fav game!XD (Points in ascending order)
coolest = 9
counsel = 9
zest = 13
zealous = 16
That’s it from me! Can’t top the previous entries, but this was fun! 🙂
I will also add spot prizes for most amusing words or just cleverness……..
So dont worry if you cant beat 20…. or 19 depending if theyre accepted by Judge Suzy….
nuts – 4
walnuts – 10
nutcase – 9 🙂
hehe~ (describes me a little)
Well, here are the rest that I came up with. I tried looking up “canzonets” and I don’t think it’s in the OED. This game reminds me so much of Text Twist…I go really fast and just type words like mad, haha.
contest = 9
neon = 4
sauce = 7
scowl = 10
tootle = 6
snowcat = 12
canzonets – 20 pts

Maroon – 8
Raccoon (using the c twice) I know…shhh XD
Lagoon – 7
My Imagination made me a bad speller… trying to make the word RACOON… work.
Not too many points but I would like to see a maroon raccoon playing in a lagoon…
