Cheating how Ana ??

Ana Sun 28-Jun-15 22:19:22

By using an app instead of their brain! smile

Bellanonna Sun 28-Jun-15 22:46:43

Don't think I've got one. But it would take the fun out of it too. and the occasional fun cock-ups (which I know I've done) wink

Bellanonna Sun 28-Jun-15 22:48:02

App, not brain !! Although.......

annodomini Sun 28-Jun-15 23:09:41

Didn't know there was an app! hmm

Ana Sun 28-Jun-15 23:25:46

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...confused

Are you still active what is your topic about.?

JoyBloggs Mon 29-Jun-15 08:22:07

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. smile

Ana you mentioned 'cheating' immediately after my last submission. Were you accusing me? angry
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.

No Ash Tree my light-hearted comment was not directed at anyone in particular! confused Blimey, sorry I spoke - it wasn't an accusation.

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.
