You do not have to repeat squares. Once a square is filled--it's done. As you fill in other squares and make six in a row (using newly filled in squares and/or already filled in squares)--you can claim more Bingos; or a completely covered card, if you manage to do so.Bev Hankinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127476456755776574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-36885530312568375872014-04-07T18:09:35.441-04:002014-04-07T18:09:35.441-04:00I announced my first bingo a while ago, silver!

It is diagonal G1 to N6. http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2013/11/02/vintage-mysteries-2013-2014/<br /><br />When we make other lines, does that mean five books touching spaces already filled? If we are meant to repeat squares for a required six, I guess it would be better to focus on filling the rest of the sheet. I'm uncertain how you worked it and am one to pose questions in clarification.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-960784409500652322014-03-18T13:02:16.001-04:002014-03-18T13:02:16.001-04:00Barb: never a stretch for material to fit. Myste...Barb: never a stretch for material to fit. Mysteries have always been the primary novel I read. I asked about your square to ensure I understood your preference. Crime is one type of mystery. There are many others, yes indeed in the chief mystery-solving, investigating genre. I noticed doubt about me arose after I asked about <i>M.R. James</i> and would love to clear it up. I asked if a volume counted, not out of need to know what a mystery entailed. Simply: you had read him and I hadn't. I didn't know if my book was plain ghost stories or an investigation of a mystery.<br /><br />If we lay to rest any thought that I misunderstand my beloved genre, my question really is just: <i>"Can S3 be generalized as mystery other than a murder"?</i> You are deliberate so I got my answer out of that mix. ;) Many people, calling <i>'crime novel'</i> a synonym for <i>'mystery novel'</i>, might mean to be general. This is me being fastidious about a game creator's intent, with no other intent than to respect it. On another page, I double-checked 'midnight' for blue; scout's honour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-91257155134675955212014-03-18T08:35:44.837-04:002014-03-18T08:35:44.837-04:00Carolyn: I think the square is pretty straight-for...Carolyn: I think the square is pretty straight-forward.

I don't think I've been vague in my description of what qualifies. And I don't intend "mystery" to be stretched to fit whatever book someone wants to read.

I'd like to know if S3 may read <i>"a mystery other than crime/murder"</i> rather than "a crime other than murder." In that case it limits to always being a crime but not other adventures.<br /><br />http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2013/11/02/vintage-mysteries-2013-2014/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
