    1. Yeah, I got to 24 guesses and called it quits--just too many possibilities...

  2. Two separate points:

    When I went to Mike's word, the intro said the game had been played zero times, so I pressed on until hitting it at 28 tries, and was surprised to find quite a few others had already played.

    Re Joon's word, clearly the meaning we are to understand is this:

    "There are many group names from traditional terms of the hunt and some current creations that attempt to describe group charcteristics. Such historical nomenclature, or terminology, called Venereal Terms or Terms of Venery, were said to refer to a gathering of "group names" or collective nouns from the hunt and social functions."

  3. Today was one of those days where I got the word, then I played again and gave up so I could see what the word meant.
