Ya but it was first to get 8 and I think 9 is one more than 8 but still the first to get to the "magic" number. 😉

'Themselves' offers one 'l' but two are in your 'sell'. Too bad that you are right about this game. But still, if that is right, your reply stands as the last valid entry.

Thanks for the useful word. My offering is harder.

Her share of red beer she had, hard by a rasher of bacon under creamy tagliatelle.

Good obs JS, but there is also no 'o' or 'f' in haberdashery, so both posts are invalid. 😉... one 'l' makes Kpies' post, as you observe, invalid.

The rules are clear. If you make an 8 letter word.. that is the target, as per rule 1. If more, they will also be noted to differentiate if we have 2 equal winners at the end of the month. 😉

Pls try 'haberdashery' again. ( And thanks, at least you've understood the rules, unlike some other dim-wits around here 😀 ) heart smiley.

I'll give 'haberdashery' a try:

A dare by a shady, dreary bard has her, a brash herder, shed bad beers by a saber thrust into the esophagus.

That's 18 words at the start, so no doubt I broke some rule somewhere... 😉

No problem there. Nice one!

This game I place in between very difficult and extremly difficult for non native speakers ...
Oh and if the sentence makes no sense ignore the entry.

Try to do our city proud, drop what you're doing and put your hands together in appreciation.

Once a cat in a tan apron can cite a print caption, or a rat in a trap can eat a pear, or a peon can ace a math quiz, then we can entertain the ludicrous notion of giving the citizens their autonomy.
