I have just looked it up, and you are correct - Sorry for doubting you. Is Snafu a Scrabble Word? Yes Yes, "Snafu" is a valid Scrabble word worth 8 points. The word is composed of five letters, where S, N, A, and U are each worth 1 point, and F is worth 4 points. The word "Snafu" is an informal expression used to describe a chaotic or confusing situation. In Scrabble, players aim to create high-scoring words using their tiles, and "Snafu" can be a useful addition to a player's strategy.

Port Said Red Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Has anyone tried the Quordle Sequence game? I tried for the first time yesterday and when it took me 7 goes to get the first word, I thought I was out, but I completed it, then the same today. It makes you a little panicky.

redysteadygo Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Just had to find this topic today, which was way down the pages, as I did it in one.

Without trawling painstakingly through every word in my mind, I can think immediately of four, including the answer, but now this is bugging me. I would ask you to give me a clue by giving me the first letter of the five you chose, but that would rather spoil it. I got it in three, by the way, with all five letters appearing in my second guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always stick with the same starting word!!! It’s like changing lottery numbers!!! Funnily enough, the time I got it in one was with GRATE. As @elhombrecito says, -RATE has a lot of options. Annoyingly, I got the a and the e in the right place first go, thought there’d be no chance of grate again, so went off at a complete tangent and didn’t get it at all!!

Something that happens often on this forum I have honestly never heard of that word. So I looked it up. Well, obviously I am familiar with the expression ‘to pratt on about something’, but, for at least the last 50 years, I have been mistaken with the word’s spelling. What an interesting thread this is. In fact, now I think of it, the word is prattle, and not pratt - or even prate .

I use 3 devices for Wordle - this PC, my knackered old lap top and my phone. My lap top keeps losing its connection with reality in time and I have to reset it to the correct time pretty well every time I use it so I'm thinking I might be running out of time on that device and I lose the streak on all three devices linked to the same account. I'll delete it from the lap top and see if that works. Thanks, OTIB. Let's hope we can sort things out on the pitch, too! COYRs............
