  • john As we're celebrating Thanksgiving here in the U.S., I wanted to thank you all for making Wordie so much fun. I'm constantly amazed at what a great group of people congregate here--thanks!

    This holiday and Wordie have a special relationship. Though it didn't launch until a day or two later, I built most of the initial version in a tryptophan haze last Thanksgiving. Nov 22, 2007
