  • i spent darn ages trying to watch her actions to guess, i kept guessing down and puppets lol

    Then i realised she was pointing to the search buttons underneath where the 'sounds like' came up and other clues and numbers of syllables etc. I felt a right nana , but honestly what is the point of having her their at all - it isn't remotely like charades!

    grrrrrr

    also confused by scoring. I pressed ONE clue and got fictional english town and I suddenly thoughVicar of Dibley so entered it and only got 2500 points. when i pressed all the buttons on a longer one i got 4,000. stupid!

    Maybe you just have to keep playing until you get ones with lots of words and then you get more bonus buttons?
  • So if you came fourth did you get 1000?

    I got 11,892 (and I still don't know how as I didn't bother trying to guess the answers, I just clicked on everything) and I turned the sound off after a few tries cos that women is so annoying (almost as annoying as the Pirelli one). But it is addictive, isn't it?

    Yep - even with getting the answer correct without using any of the clues, you still don't get a high enough score

    It's simply down to pot luck and getting the bonus points.

    Am I a the only one who gets the loading message for ages or am I supposed to do something?
  • I got the loading message for aggggges!
    Am i the only one who wants to kill that women!?
  • Nope I wanna kill her too and it slows my pc right down also but im addicted!! I think you have more chance of winning if you get a bigger word to guess, like a 5 or 4 word, more chance for bonus's! Im determined!

  • someone got 43,000 odd today, that can't be possible surely?

    i keep feeling i must be missing out on something with this game!! surely it can't just be luck at what you get up, but you do seem to get as many points by not guessing as with guessing.
    grrrr

  • I agree kirsteen, I keep thinking I'm missing something too because I can't get more than about 9600. I can't believe that person got 43000! How on earth did they do that??? :confused:
