I know no one cares, but...

So I have been working on a Boggle puzzle for what seems like a million years now, trying to fit 9 answers in a 5x5 space. For those who don't know, a Boggle puzzle is like a word find only the letters aren't necessarily next to each other and can be diagonal and meander all around, like the words you'd find if you were playing Boggle. I started doing these a long time ago after seeing a couple in Games magazine.

I had 8 answers, but I was certain I could fit 9 in after I thought of a good answer that had all common letters in it. But it proved tougher than I thought. It took literally hours and hours (although not in a row) of resetting letters in different places until I got this:

Thankfully Leo is only three letters long, and therefore not in this one, or I would have a lot more to do. You can find this, as well as 50 others I've done, here. Now I can go back to working on Nincompoop for Game Boy tomorrow. I stated in my last blog entry earlier today that I felt like I could sleep. Well, that's exactly what I did. I went to sleep at about 3 p.m. and woke up a few hours later after having a very strange nightmare. I woke up, but I was too tired, and I hoped that if I fell back asleep, that it wouldn't continue. Well, I did, and it did. Argh. Thankfully I woke up again after a pivotal point in it. It was quite strange. I dreamt I was in a fancy hotel, but I didn't have the right credentials to rent a room in it, but I was in the room anyway, and there were like a million different TV channels. It was quite strange.

I don't remember all the signs so that is all I can do.

I also see Losers, Prancers, Abusers, and Ignores. Also plenty of other words. I used to play Tangleword on Lycos games back in the late 90's and early 00's.
