It's not that you're the only one playing this, it's just that you've posted almost all the words that I've found, and more.
Anyway, here's a couple you've missed:
FLOPS and TRIPS

Just under the wire: wofa, I'm assuming you had optic, since you listed optics. Did you get apse?
5: ensue, scrip
Must take exception to spoil, I'm afraid. Guess I'll have to allow baptise since this is an international board. I'll try to watch for Brtispeak spellings in the future.

I sure spioled that one, didn't I.
I've been leaving out the four-letter-words as too numerous to post, in general. (Also fives as four-plus-s. Guess it's the pedant in me.) Apse is a goodie. Maybe I"ll go back and see if I can find any more good-fours.

Edit: ignore same. I just looked at the original thread and there it is.

I actually agree to leaving out the fours, making the fives as the beginning so that:
a) You won't have a long list of words to post
b) Makes it JUST a little tougher
I'm pretty sure there would be a LOT of threes and fours, and boy, would WE have a list to go through! haha.....

Original puzzle is here: http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=131196three little girls...if you multiplied their ages by each other the product would be thirty-six. possible ages are 36 – 1 – 1; sum is 38 18 – 2 – 1; sum is 21 12 – 3 – 1; sum is 16 9 - 4 – 1; sum is 14 9 – 2 – 2; sum is 13 6 – 6 – 1; sum is 13 6 – 3 – 2; sum is 11 4 – 3 – 3; sum is 10 The sum of their three ages is the same number as my apartment numberIf there’s still uncertainty, the sum must be 13, because that's the only sum with more than one possible set of three addends. So the ages are either 9-2-2 or 6-6-1. The oldest little girl has blue eyes There’s an oldest! That means the ages can’t be 6-6-1 because the two six-year-olds are the same age (measured in years, anyway) and nobody could accurately be called “oldest.” HOW OLD ARE THE GAY CHICK'S LITTLE GIRLS? That leaves only nine, two, and two. QED. Nein, ja? Ja!

Amemeba's third wrong answer is correct:
None, pigs can't talk.
