The Nereids, who numbered 50 or 100, were depicted as young girls who inhabited any water, salt or fresh, and were benign toward humanity.
Then there's nereids: In Greek mythology, any of the daughters of the sea god Nereus and of Doris, daughter of Oceanus. Anyone who took high school chemistry, recalls melting a plastic Bic pen in the flame of the burner.Īll that aside, how the heck would I know ureases? I'll just have to brush up on my organic chemistry to improve at Scramble. OK, I'm obviously not famous chemist Robert Bunsen, who, yes, invented the Bunsen burner. Here's the dictionary meaning: An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of urea to form ammonium carbonate. Here are a few samples that I missed: ureases, tersest, nereids, atresia, verset, ursids and uredia.įor example, I looked up ureases just for kicks. To add injury to insult, after the game has finished, the board lists the words I missed, I don't recognize most of them. Consider I've made a career of writing words - sort of picking them out of a grid in my mind and have done just fine. This ridiculous game has cast my self-identity into question. But finding longer words is a definite challenge, especially since you have to zigzag around the board.Ĭrown me a champ at finding words like dog, cat and mud. It's easy to pick out the three-letter words, which you get a point for. Friends who play this turned me onto it, predicting I would be a natural because of my writing background.
OK, it doesn't sound so cool, but it beats watching reality TV shows, such as the Hoarders or Bridezilla. But the letters have to be connected - up and down, diagonally or in a square. Then you poke the letters on the screen to form words. First, you're playing against time - two-minute rounds. For the record, Scramble is a kind of Scrabble where a grid of 16 letters appears on the screen and I have to make words out of them. I welcome going to a doctor's appointment now and sitting in the waiting room forever because I can play this dopey game, which, best of all, is a free download.
