I’m thinking of two very similar C4s that literally combine to make my C9. So I’m not sure if we’re all just talking about different ****, haha.

C4 is really strong for this word but it doesn’t relate to a c9 afaik

Which means I don’t know yours and you don’t know mine.

If others know yours and like it, then someone (probably you) should bold it soon.

Mine is one of the main things people associate with the word

I was thinking of saving my bold for a bc I haven’t seen others say they have an a, but if y’all don’t know mine maybe I should just bold bc c4 is likely our best clue on the board

Just bold it. It’ll clear a remaining c from the board and you think it’s the best clue.

This was Coke, Cola, and Coca-Cola btw.

How do we handle hyphens? I know we are including them in the count, but does that mean I can say “I have a C9 that’s hyphenated?”

Could be a famous tap dancer?

This post got an audible laugh from me.

“The clue almost certainly has to do with water. Maybe Trevi’s a tap dancer!”

Yeah, first goal is to get y’all to think of the word in the first place, which you did with that quoted post

But then we gotta get you to say the one word out of 10 that you mentioned

But our % is based on the guess only, not the conversation, so no way to really get you to know you have mentioned the word

Coca-cola is 9 because we count the hyphen as a letter…and yeah, fountain drink is a great clue also

This I know. What I’m asking is if I can say in the thread “I have a hyphenated C9,” or if I can only say that I have a C9 and you guys have to figure out somehow that it’s hyphenated.

I don't think you can say "I have a hyphenated 9." I think that's too much info.

The c9 I was thinking of was "cascading".

Yeah my c7/c9 was cascade/cascading

No we can’t say if a word is hyphenated when mentioning c9 or whatever; only when bolding

I think the A7 —> C7 combo is the winner, with a reasonable chance A7 can do it in its own.

Yeah I agree

Seems to be the best line to take unless someone thinks of something else
