Scoring distribution:
1 hole-in-one (saw the answer here... But someday STARE will happen!)
28 eagles
158 birdies
234 pars
104 bogeys
24 double bogeys
9 whiffs

Very interesting! Your 'eagle' rate is impressive, I'm nowhere near that. But I think it also shows that I have a conservative strategy, because I have fewer bogeys & double bogeys.

1 -- 0
2 -- 10
3 -- 168
4 -- 293
5 -- 90
6 -- 14
X -- 9

teliot,

I rarely use probing words: instead, I almost always play guesses that might actually be the answer. On occasion, I get really lucky on guess #2.

P.S. Didn't you have only 5 whiffs?

Oops. Yes. 5. Sigh. You can see by adding my successes and subtracting from 580.

Honestly, I'd like a few more 2's, but I am so protective of my streak so probing is my style.

avianrandy,

I did not mean to imply that I had not heard of Wonder Woman. Rather, I was surprised by SWORD being one of her costume attributes. I can't recall Lynda Carter wielding a sword when she played WW.

See? No sword.

Thanks for the congrats!

but in some later movie version she has a sword. Go figure. I have introduce my coworker to connect game last night but warned her some categories were eclectic such as sub genres of rap. Strange enough last night game one category was rappers. Strange
