A tis or tat lest this test be lost

The word list is not very big, thus, we must make due.

I know we can do this if we try.

I don't see why the list of words to use can be tiny.
In fact when I play a word game four is the best I can come up with most of the time!
But then the test for us is that we don't have much to say, only an idea of how to say it. This can try the mind.

It is true what you say here. This is in fact the main part that we err on. It is very hard to say even a bit of what you mean when you must use this rule--the "rule of four" let us call it, as the part you mean when you say you can only use four of them is more than four of what it is that you can't use! See what
I mean?

Will this "rule of four" talk ever move on? Let's try.


You know, it used to be that 90 was hot, but now it's nice and cool. How nuts is that? How's the heat in your town or city? It's nice here. Not too warm, and not too cold.
