In this game of Letter Cubes, a different letter of the alphabet is on each face of each of the 4 cubes so that 24 of the 26 letters of the alphabet occur. Words are formed by rearranging and turning the cubes so that the top letters spell a common 4-letter word. The 14 words below have been made using today's cubes.

Can you recover the 6 letters on each?

AXIS
BUOY
CHAD
FAKE
FOIL
GOAD
GROW
HOAR
JUMP
MUCK
NAVY
OPTS
TURN
VIBE

(In reply to re: please ignore by SilverKnight)

Silver Knight,

Who died and made you the “comment cop” of Flooble?

At first it was kind of funny but now its just pathetic.

I clearly label my posts (when I see other solutions posted) “please ignore.” I do this to that you (you specifically as you are the only one ever to have complained) will know that I am just solving the puzzle and not be tempted to open and read a posting that will “not add anything” to the general discussion.

For pity’s sake! this puzzle is two months old, the official solution has been posted. I can not believe that you went to the trouble to go to a puzzle that you KNEW had been solved, read a posting labeled “please ignore” that you knew (or should have known since you seem reasonably bright) would contain nothing more than a solution, just to be irritated.

BACK OFF

If my postings are bothering the management of Flooble, I am sure that Levik will let me know and I will gladly stop. If my postings are irritating a reasonable number of Flooble users, they are welcome to post a message to that effect either here or in the forums and I will stop. Until that time, I will continue to enjoy Flooble in my (I believe) harmless way.

As for you (if you would like a bit of advice, if you see a posting labeled “please ignore” ignore it like everyone else. If you choose not to ignore it, that’s fine too. Read it, sneer at it, tell all your friends what an obvious moron I am, post a sneering condescending criticism if you want (It’s a pretty open minded site and most people figure you should be able to post what you want) but give me a break. I am not going to stop enjoying this excellent site until either the management or my fellow users give me reason to.
