Otherwise 6ty, 7ty etc... In that vein I'll offer: 5orite Edited by doc_comfort (01/09/10 11:11 PM) Edit Reason: To be constructive rather than critical Top #188660 - 01/10/10 07:55 AM Re: One two - snowed in [Re: doc_comfort] Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13654 Or either 5el Mousekwitz if you pronounce Doc C's submission with something other than an Aussie or some variety of UK accent.

I answered doc_comfort: Yes, this is not about numbers, but just like Victor Borge does.( good show, zed )( see zed's little up- link ) Numbers hidden in words. In this case up front of the word. So tsuwm's 3ting and Jackie's 2ting count, but the others are not exactly right. Then I asked: But pray, doc-comfort, what is fivorite? Maybe I forgot to submit it. I've got a snowy brain these days.

I think "fivorite" is not a mineral, but an alternate pronunciation of "favorite". We'll have a barrel full primate trouble basing a game on pronunciation! The only thing I can find for 3 is 3p, and I still am fuzzy on what it means...

You said 3ping and that is a very valid word. It wasn't even a typo, just an ERROR> shame on me!........
