There must be a word limit or something, because there are two blocks missing in my message.

"sightful!" should be
"insightful!"

and

"Mr. Pippin quietly moved Boromir the
king's accordion" should be

"Mr. Pippin quietly moved Boromir the disco
king's accordion"

HMM.

Hmm.... be careful when dragging near the edges. Tiles can just disappear over there, and before you know it your message is a word (or two) short!

True, but they go transparent when not set. And "in" wasn't even near the edge.

I just wasted half an hour on that...very amusing! I've always been able to waste hours playing with those little magnet word thingys...I once did that instead of paying attention in drama class, and I love drama class! I had to ask my teacher to move me to a desk where I couldn't see them...

"Mr T's trans-fatty secret society was pondering hero Fatty Bolger's flamboyant fancy to invent this quick tuna melt pyramid scheme (utopia indeed)"

Fun, thanks.

The Dead Marshes and The Blue Mountains won't burp Beruthiel!

Truer words were never spoken.

(This thing's prophetic or phrenetic or something...)

I don't know about prophetic (or phrenetic), but it's certainly addictive.

Question: Why is it that that last word you need to complete your message always takes about 50 clicks to come up, then comes up first time when you return next time?
