The last submission on the original thread was by Grandma2213 so we'll start with her word:
Well, there are plenty of online anagram solver sites, which is probably what I meant as I'm not even sure what an app actually is. I'm so behind the times...
Ana No, not cheating! The thing that keeps me coming back to this game is that it means I can happily scribble away and waste use lots of paper and ink, arranging and rearranging letters... a welcome diversion from squinting at a computer screen! And more interesting than counting sheep when you can't get to sleep.
Ana you mentioned 'cheating' immediately after my last submission. Were you accusing me? Like JoyB I love scribbling on the pad that's always by my side, playing with letters. Sometimes I get nowhere, other times a word jumps out at me and I test it against the last word to see if it works. I have always loved word games and my brain just works that way. I can assure you that none of the words I've submitted have ever come from 'an app' or an anagram solver.
OK Ana, then I apologise for misreading you. I hope you can understand why I did, though, your 'light-hearted comment' coming as it did just as I had posted.
