Remember your old boggle game? The object was to form words using letters in the grid by connecting adjacent letters. Letters that are left, right, on top, below, or on a diagonal to each other are acceptable...as long as you use that letter only once when creating the word.

However, rather than using a clock to challenge you gardeners, we're going to use everyone's words and make this a team effort.

:santa:

sad

had

Hi soot.

sand, dads

You've got two Curly

Cue .. try again .. use letters in the grid by connecting adjacent letters

AND, both of yours are correct Cue!!

<<edit>> of course it does help the puzzle poster to follow his own directions

hands

I thought that's what I did

G A S
K A D
D H N

I can't see why Cue's are not acceptable; like, "SAND":
"A" is immediately diagonal to "S"
"N" is immediately diagonal to "A"
"D" is immediately above "N"

However, I've never played this game, so...!!

How do the X's work? Like XX to HAD X?

saga

has
gad
nag

Sorry Cue .. You were spot on and I was out to lunch (or breakfast given the time of day)

Your solutions and methodology are correct!

I need to drink more coffee before Gardening!!

So .. to recap ...

Cue, Flo, ManXman and Gail are correct

Denis' recap is correct .. not bad for ever playing the game

Soot needs more coffee before Gardening in the AM

Denis .. the x's just denote a word .. so first row one word, second row (of solutions) two words and so forth

I think that covers all ..

and, gas, sag, dadas

hag

Yes to Denis and ManXman

In case it's a word: DNA
Last name in dictionary: KAHN

These are in dictionary: dan, nada

Didn't see anything preventing 1 and 2 letter words (some twice; ad 3 times!):
a,a,ad,ad,ad,ah,an,as,as,ha

Wow .. DNA seems to be an "out of the ordinary" abbreviation as you found in the dictionary .. so I'll take it along with your other solutions
