"ABCs of BBM" answer list!!!

[Penthesilea]

The last few weeks (starting before my vacation) I noticed that "easy", everyday words seem to appear more often lately. Words like starved, trained, borrow (or was it borrowed?) and today armpit. Every time, I think 'Oh, did really nobody use this (common, everyday) word before?'

Since I don't follow the ABCs religously anymore, maybe my impression is totally wrong. Or my impression might be correct, but this cumulation of "easy" words is by pure chance. But I did ask myself if you changed something with the rules or have a new "trick"? Maybe deliberately picking already played words from the answers list and putting them into a different grammatical form?

Anyway: compliments to all those who still play the ABCs! It's impressive.

Thanks, Chrissi. 

In answer to your questions:

The appearance of the easier, more ordinary words all of a sudden is pure chance.  Apparently a lot of them were overlooked in the earlier rounds.  It's kind of cool when someone plays one now, especially if it happens to be a word from a well-known line in the story or screenplay.

So, no, there hasn't been a change in the rules with regard to words not repeating, but we did eliminate the "K", "Q", "Y", and "Z" words a while ago.  And to the best of my knowledge, every word in the answer list is unique.  (But I wouldn't bet my life on it.)

Hi Fran,

thanks for your reply.

That's what I thought and it was the "silky armpit hair" that finally made me ask about it.

Keep playin'!

Ha!

An ABC game comment thread! 

It's fun to see what an awesome thing the answer thread was in them early days, since I've simply taken it for granted ever since I entered the game.

On a different note I'm sad there's so few players left. The game is going really slow right now.
