Well done :) @Julie - only way I know is to rejumble the jumble and try to find smaller words or letter strings (eg: ion or th or ph etc) and then see what you can do with the left over letters... but it's no guarantee you won't go insane while you're doing it :) ID: 1574040 ·

In this case, I said "creamice" to myself several times, but I didn't get it until after typing it out. Anyway, here's your new word: cmmnhiegoo (When I'm coming up with a new one to post, I type out the real word, then retype it jumbled to make sure I have the same number of letters. It's the only way I can be reasonably sure I used all the letters in the jumble. Then I delete the real word.)

Okay, I guess it's Lynn's turn, unless Gordon has anything to say as thread founder. Fine with me. I actually never knew about the way to cheat on this until after I started the thread. My original idea was to stimulate our old brains and keep the thread moving along at a fairly fast pace with words that weren't too long and hard. Lynn's turn... :~) The mind is a weird and mysterious place ID: 1576820 ·

Zs are good too. Extra-terrestial. I'm particularly good with 9-letter words, but that's what years (actually over two decades) of watching Countdown does to you.
