Hi
Ok, so I was playing anagram mania a couple times and I noticed that all of the anagrams seem to be getting lower until finally I see that you only h to find 64 words. Would this be apropriate for anagram mania to find 64 wres in 24 hours. It seems to me that that's too little. What do you all think?
These days, I'm the one putting the anagrams up. Some want something challenging, and others want simple. I've tried to give everyone the best of both worlds. There have been a few with over 2000 words, and people complained about it. There were some with 500 words and people complained about that as well. All I can say is that until someone comes up with a better plan, all I can do is mix the challenging in with the easy. If you or anyone else has another suggestion, mention it here and we'll discuss it. I'm happy to listen to all suggestions.
Hi
I completely understand, but maybe as a suggestion you should take a look at the chart to see how the range of words people can actually get. This is my personal opinion (and definitely no one has to agree) but I think that there should be at least one hundred. But, when I'm just saying that when you have 24 hours 64 words is a little too easy. Again, just my opinion of things and I am inferior.
What the hell is your problem? I, for one, was getting mighty sick of anagrams consisting of more than a thousand words almost every day for several months. I am enjoying the break and hope this trend of smaller anagrams continues.
Amen, Becky. Dalekood, this is like the third or so board you've posted where you had some kind of anagram issue. I think you're being far too knit-picky here.
Anthony, as I know very well, you're not going to please all Zoners. Impossible. So just do the anagrams however you want to, and don't mind the people like this one who are never satisfied.
In general, I'd like the Anagram Mania phrases to have something over 100 possible words; Speed Word os the place for shorter phrases or single words. Some of the phrases with relatively few anagrams have been the more-challenging for me. Since one person's "hard" is another person's "easy", where Anagram Mania phrases are concerned, keep mixing the short and long, or the common and rare words, whatever you like.
Hi
This it the third time I've had an isuue? Please explain
I agree with the last person who posted. I think anagram speed word should be the place for anagram phrases less-than 100. But, if you all don't like these topics anymore, fine. No more posts on this, ignore me alltogether. I don't give a damn.
well as I have been an administrator before, I'll say this people like you make it harder, suggestions are great but pushiness, and I like it this way and that way and accommodate me, only and I like this and I don't like that is not going to work. If I was the mod I'd call you out on posting these threads and make a note on your behavior. there is 13 years on here, there's 60 and 70 years olds on here. people with jobs, people without jobs, people who has all day people who don't, people with great mental challenges, and geniuses. If you were the mod, I ask you would one pushy way do any good?? no! you have proven one thing you'd never had power before, and if you did you were never a just leader. I say that the majority is right, and that you are absolutely wrong, cut out the pushy behavior, already! you could suggest that there be a limit and leave it up to people but your language is very definite. Some people do need the 64 word ones, 32 even, makes them feel good about accomplishing something maybe, or one that they can do a lot of and it's not so challenging. 100 words is still a lot of words and it's okay to suit the beginners at times. Diverse ways are good, and this is one of them. different preferences for everyone, sometimes you have to give. anyway, enough of me, just know this, your posts that push for a one method system stress out administration. I've been in this situation, I know.
You will never be able to make everyone happy... Find something else to do with your time if you are not happy with the anagrams. There are many other games to play or just go listen to a book...
