Thanks Janet!  so far, I have been able to work out the connections, and some 
of them are very
clever.  However, the developers should stick to things that they know 
something about, and I speak
of "rugby player:  10 letters.  The solution being  "dropkicker".
In American football, there may be a designated dropkick kicker, but there 
isn't such a person in 
Rugby.
Forewarned is forearmed as the old wiseacres have it, so take this as a 
forewarning chaps!  rugby 
chat coming up.
The hefty brigade:  8 forwardss who form the * scrum take their positional 
names  from  where they 
play in it.  In the front row, there is the hooker, and 2 props, the tighthead 
and loosehead.
The second row consists of 2 locks and 2 flankers, and the number 8 takes his 
place at the back of 
the scrum with his head sandwiched between the backsides of the 2 locks.  It is 
he who, generally, 
but not always, picks up  the ball as it is hooked and then heeled back.   .
We than have 7 backs, who, on the New Zealand rugby paddock, still carry 
fractional names;  why, I 
know not, although  I think that, as a child, I asked my dad why they were 
called such but I can't 
remember just what his reply was.
The backs are:  the wingers:  left and right, [the great Jonah Lomu played on 
the wing, left or 
right I can't recall, but the number on the jersey of that position is 11, so 
Jonah had his eyebrows 
shaved to form that number], the halfback who, amongst his other jobs, puts the 
ball into the scrum, 
1st and 2nd 5 8ths  [one of our great goal kickers was  Dan Carter who was a 5 
8ths]2 centre 3 
quarters and a fullback, who is generally, but   not always the goal kicker, 
but he is not a * 
dropkicker.
Having said that 7 Little Words should stick to something it knows about, I 
found, in my cursory 
search of Google and Wiki, that, even there, their entries are, woefully, out 
of date and lacking in 
accuracy.  For instance, it has the scrum formation as  the second row 
consisting of the 2 locks 
while the flankers have dropped back to join the #8.
This formation of 3/2/3 may have been the early formation, but it has been 
3/4/1 for many years now.
I await the first day when guy or guyess, who were, the day before 1st and 2nd 
5 8ths come on to the 
paddock as 1st/2nd .725, and the 3 quarters as 1st/2nd .75.
New Zealand, as well as holding the America's Cup and other sundry world 
championships, are also, 
both genders, All Blacks and Black Ferns,  world champions in Rugby.

And now, getting back to "Seven Little Words":  I signed up for unlimitted 
hints, and this worked 
well while I was playing the 25 games of the sunrise series, and "Last 30 
days", but now that I have 
finished all of those and have purchased games from Jan 1st/June 30 2012, it 
doesn't!  I can get 
"whole solutions", but when I select 1st tile, all I get is a 
knock--knock--knock sound.

Hi Jewel no but then if you buy all of the puzzles you'll find a few like
that and some words I'd never even heard of   Janet

I have a question but not on how to use the game.  I am forging  right along
with  that and, after
having played all the  puzzles back to August 1st, I have paid 5$99 to buy
180 puzzles from Jan
1st/June 1st 2017.
There was 1 clue for June 1st I think where I couldn't see the connection:
sounds a bit like
iAssociate doesn't it!?  and that was "scissor lift maker" 5 letters and the
solution was genie!
Does the connection between a genie and a maker of a machine whose job it is
to lift scissors jump
out at any of you?
