I've done four already (the ones that say "tp"). That's quite enough wasted time for one evening

Not as bad as me. I 've wasted quite a bit of time on it in the last couple days...& still haven't created one.

edit: in fact I just spent another 30 mins tonight...without anything to show for it

Yes... more time wasted that should have been devoted to reading 30 pages about the Democratic Debate (and then writing 3 pages on what I just read). But from it I got this brilliant piece of advice: Never whistle at pointy polar bears.

I come to the Downs for the first time this week, then this comes along! Will I have time to post at CBC again?

Still, it deserves a green grin!

Three green grins!

BW, I wish to know all about the words. Was there a pre-made list that came with the code, and you added your own ME words? (I don't think words like "Frodo" and "Fatty Bolger" would come with a list.)
Or are they gleaned from a webpage? Like, if I suddenly typed in "ennui" it would appear in someone's millionth rotation?

(Because if that last case is true...to to to to to to the the the the for for for for it it it it of of of of of and and and and too too a a a...it would be great.)

The Flash application came with a list of common words, a list of punctuations, and a list of suffixes. I immediately added Middle-earth words, and later added numbers and spaces. Since then, I have tweaked the word lists a bit, and I continue to do so. I will try adding a few more of the words you have suggested and see how it works out.

I've added several buttons to advance the Magnets forwards or backwards by more than one entry. This will enable you to scroll though the entries faster!
