Yes, it was Folio! Thanks! I must have stared at those two words for five minutes. ---

[QUOTE=The Unkempt One] Yes, it was Folio! Thanks! I must have stared at those two words for five minutes. [/QUOTE] I always do that – forget that there’s a consonant between the two vowels I’m obsessing on, or vice versa. I :smack: every. single. time. ---

That “C” can be followed by “R” You’d think it would only happen once. ---

[QUOTE=The Unkempt One] Yes, it was Folio! Thanks! I must have stared at those two words for five minutes. [/QUOTE] That one got me too. I have trouble with consonants followed by consonants, like click. I always space that there’s anything between “i” and “o”. My highest score was 11555 and that was after I got the first word in four tries. Complete stroke of luck. ---

Since I never seem to average less than 12 guesses per word, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to get more than what I just did: 12712. Still, tons of fun. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/word-sandwich-highly-addictive-online-word-game/434062.md?page=3)
