Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ok, so going back to the original clue...."it's not on my desk, but i wish it were". As far as i know, Jeroboam was one of the Kings of Israel back in the Old Testament times. Is there another meaning to the word that I'm unaware of? Jeroboam and Rehoboam were 2 words on my list that have since been disproven but I didn't consider them because I didn't know of any other meanings outside of proper names.

I just had a delve in Miriam Webster: in the US also. Edited February 14, 2011 by fabpig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Seriously? Wow, i've never heard that term before. That makes sense then. I think Wombat might need a glass or 2 after he reads all the posts he's missed today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I see what WbB did wrong ---chainsaw - xo the last a is correct -->x the first a is in jeroboam but wrong spot - o Mayhaps he set up an excel spreadsheet, as I did, and forgot to ignore already x'ed letters (as I once had ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Sorry - "there's none so blind as those that will not see" I really did double double check but still missed it As I can't edit the erroneous post anymore... millions - xo brunette - ooo computer - oooo tequilas - xx chainsaw - xo paycheck - oo tendrils - xo untoward - xoo business - oo trombone - xxoooo pentagon - xoo rambutan - xooo (not xoooo) brambles - xoooo As per solman's post 'rambutan' did appear to add two As but both As were scored instead of one (one is in the right place and one in the wrong)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Wow - sorry folks. I still missed the chainsaw error, even after repeated checks! and maurice is spot on with both the word and that excel was the tool. This is very embarassing and I can only apologise for wasting your time.

Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Now I want to trade spreadsheets to compare...that wouldn't be geeky or anything, right?
