FED WORD SCRAMBLE
Thursday, May 11
by Fancy-Fancy

Four players joined me on the scramble channel for tonight's game. We had Honoria, Catspaws, Gradon, Asterix, Priscilla, Politdevil, and Saxon all join the channel over the course of the game. Everyone playing knew how to play, so we began right away.

Our first scramble tonight turned out to be difficult. Our players needed a hint with it, and after I gave a hint of "I like his eggs golden", Catspaws eventually was the first to come up with Carl Fedberge. The players got rolling after that one, quickly solving the next few. Scramble #5 hung the players up for a while until "Pioneers of Fed 2" helped Priscilla promptly get "Alpha Crew". The next few got solved quickly until a hint of "Victor" was needed to unscramble "ialcEihe ogSbtal tnyxoeiiMn". The players were able to solve the next several in a row without a hint, until we came to "dseFali ccs". Priscilla finally solved it after I gave out a couple of clues. The next word went relatively easily before we came to tonight's monster scramble, with 6 words:

n'PrkOsr cre asaidesd lleall ueDt ogi

I offered 3 points if this could be solved without a hint, 2 if one was given. The players finally broke down and asked for a hint, and I tried to come up with hints that wouldn't give it away. I finally came up with "How odd. Oh well, have a round on me." for a clue. The players worked on it, and a few minutes later, Honoria came up with "Diesel's Old Peculiar strong dark ale" for 2 points. Priscilla collected the last point of the game with the last word, making our final scores:

Priscilla - 8
Catspaws - 6
Honoria - 4
Asterix - 3

Congratulations to Priscilla, winner of this week's Wacky Words. Tune in again on May 25 for the next game of Fed Word Scramble. And join us on May 18 for Wacky Words.
