I don't think so Elf, the biggest bonus of being pro is the stats panel that shows how many words come from each tile and the overall breakdown. That is very useful when hunting for the last few elusive words.

Evening Dianne, not yet I'm afraid. Still on the 1st run through.
3:34 am
FMitch
((Sprite)) good to see you!
3:35 am
Dianne
Of course - the fish ! Thanks sprite :)
3:36 am
Dianne
Hi Fmitch. How are things?
Hi sprite (belatedly) :)
3:37 am
FMitch
Fine thanks Dianne, allowing myself an hour or so babble and then work :) (famous last words) LOL
3:38 am
Haz1558
Good morning all. At least it's the sort of grid where you could find lots of words in your allotted hour, FMitch1
3:39 am
Dianne
that's what I said at 3pm (it's now 5:30). benn doing alittle of this, then a little work, then a little of this
soon and so on.
3:39 am
FMitch
LOL Haz, oh and ha ha re yr icon, very funny.
3:40 am

Howdy, Haz, Sprite & Dianne
3:41 am
Dianne
Hi trish :)
3:43 am
sprite
Sorry guys, was on the phone, and typing the clue with one finger, lol.
Hi to all, great to see you too! Done with the grid for today. It is fun, beautiful biggies that have actual meaning.
And to the newcomers: never, ever feel intimidated or inferior compared to any of us. We all started out new here. We made more incredibly stupid mistakes and have had more blind spots than you can ever imagine. Will make and have more too. But with perseverance (kind word for stubbornness) I managed to become somehow experienced in this. ;)
All those stupidhead little words that keep coming back will look familiar at some point.
Some even come up in conversation. Ywis!
3:47 am
Haz1558
FMItch - sorry, I was distracted by the phone there. So glad you like the icon!
3:52 am
El Payo
Well 139 words for 2163pts. I can't 'see' the last 60. I still have none of the 9s and just one of the 8s. Do you get penalized for blindly guessing?
3:52 am
evilolive
this is my first game. looks like this will be very addictive. i have no idea how i'm going to find another 150 words...
3:53 am
Haz1558
No, no penalties. It sounds like it's time for you to use some help. Second letter lists are invaluable!
3:53 am
FMitch
LOL Haz, I'm not that into rugby but other half is and was not a happy bunny, at least Arsenal won otherwise there would have been a full strop on at the w/e!
El Payo - blindly guessing is what we call monkey typing and it is most definately allowed!
3:54 am
Dianne
fortunately you do not get any penalty for guessing - most of us guess (monkey type) lots of words.
3:54 am
Haz1558
To access them, look under Friends of Babble on the right hand side of the page. Either click on Babbler's Anonymous, general, stats, for Brandyjack's list OR, Angelsong's Resource Page, Links, MrP's stats list.
3:54 am

Monkey Typing - that's great.
3:57 am

evilolive, it is a very addictive game and the more you play the more words you will find!

4:02 am

has anyone gooten any of the es words? I'm not having any luck with these.
4:12 am
ExWren
Morning all. Thank goodness we have our s's back
4:13 am
trishtrash
es 7/32 .. the basic properties of something
es 5/10 ... sounds like how the 'es' words start
Hi ExWren :)
4:13 am
Dianne
Hi wren - yes, just add an S to every word - it just might be a word :)
4:14 am
trishtrash
es 6/33 (+ plural) money or property held by a third person.
4:14 am
El Payo
is everyone else seeing triple posts?
4:15 am
trishtrash
Not at the moment, El Payo, but it does occur sometimes.
4:15 am
Dianne
trish - got the 1st two - so easy with your great clues.
looking for the 3rd - thanks for the help.
4:16 am
El Payo
my bad - refreshed the page and it went away
4:17 am
Dianne
trish - I was thinking that word/s but kept looking down not over and down. Thanks again.
4:18 am
PappouTed
one es7 is the plural of es6 and the other es7 meanthe crucial elements
4:18 am
trishtrash
yw, Dianne... yes, we seem to have gone from having no S's at all, to having too many ways to use them, lol.
4:25 am
trishtrash
43 words left to find, time for a break... see you later, folkses :)

Morning all! Well, after the S went on vacation for a few days, he's back with a vengeance now!
5:20 am

This grid is like a nudist camp......
There's a lot of r's in it.........
5:21 am
Haz1558
Groan.....
5:23 am
ExWren
I have just found that there is something worse that re's.....it is sc's...I have taken half hour to find the sc4/7, but the rest are mysteries
5:24 am
Haz1558
Ex-wren - sc9/60 - think of MS and pluralise the S bit of it.
5:24 am
Jaen
hi there- Im new and not sure if i understand how this works- am i making words like in scrabble- or is the letters supposed to be next to each other...
5:25 am
Haz1558
sc 5/12 - expression of derision
5:26 am
Haz1558
Jaen - the letters have to be next to each other as in boggle. If you need further info, look at Babble rules link at the top of the page.
5:26 am
Matkins70gig700
hey wobbie
5:26 am
sprite
Jaen, they have to be next to each other. Top right you see Babble Rules, they should help.
5:27 am
Atalante
hi guys! I'm exhausted and its only 11:27 - just had to drag dog down to the vets and back for the annual fight over injections!
5:27 am
Haz1558
Tell me you didn't fight the vet...
5:28 am
Atalante
nope. just stood back adn watched vet and dog slug it out!
5:29 am
Haz1558
Well, that's a relief. Presumably if the dog has been injected, the vet won a technical victory?
5:30 am
Atalante
I think so! though Holly did wee on the floor afterwards - so what do you reckon? dog 1 : vet 1?
5:31 am
Haz1558
Sounds like a draw to me!
5:31 am
phess
can't say that i'd give the dog a point for piddling on the floor, myself...
5:31 am
Atalante
Yup! At least that's over for another year!
5:32 am
Atalante
oh you can when the dog smirks at the vet while doing it!
5:32 am
Haz1558
Oh, haven't you heard, Atalante. They say it's going to be recommended that injections are given once a month now. To come in line with EU policy...
5:32 am
ExWren
Oh! dear Haz, I would have still been here next Monday without your help
5:33 am
Haz1558
Ex-Wren - glad I could help - and Atalante, I'm only joking!!!
5:34 am
phess
dog owners have it easy... i am forced to crawl partially beneath the bed to get clawed and fought (and that's just before we get in the car to leave for the vet's).
5:34 am
Atalante
plllllllllease tell me you're joking, Haz! I'm not going through all that once a month! I had to sit and listen to a staffy howl for 20 minutes! anyone got any nurofen?
5:35 am
Atalante
I have one of those too, phess ....
5:35 am
Haz1558
I'm joking! Couldn't resist the temptation to put the wind up.
5:36 am
Atalante
*giggles* can you IMAGINE! You'd never see your husband - he'd be sticking needles into bottoms all day and night!
5:37 am
Haz1558
It doesn't bear thinking about, does it?
5:39 am
Atalante
no! its bad enough trying to understand all the rituals around EU pet passports
5:41 am
phess
being a US citizen, if i were travelling with my pet, i'd be inclined to look into an injected RFID... dunno if they're going to do that, but since RFID's are in US passports now, who knows.
5:41 am
Haz1558
Yes, the rules are not exactly user-friendly.
5:42 am
Haz1558
phess, it's not just the rabies aspect, there are anti-tick things to go through as well.
5:44 am
Atalante
urf yes. your dog has to be up to date with rabies vaccs, and then no less than 24 or 48 hours (can't remember which) before re-entering the UK, they have to go to a vet to get anti-tick and mite stuff and get a check-over, then they go to the vets back here as well
5:58 am
Ricey
how many words are there today??
5:58 am

Jacula - I think you'll find it's afternoon now, this side of the pond, but hello anyway.......
6:14 am
amandacath
hmmm - I've got the en8 and the sc9 - what do the other 8 & 9's start with?
6:14 am
Jacula
Forgot to check the clock. LOL.
6:17 am
FMitch
Hi again
Can anyone help with a clue to the re7/32 please
6:18 am
python_hysssteri
...- -...
6:18 am
amandacath
Mitch - you feel re7/32 when you've done something you shouldn't have, or to send a telegraph again
6:19 am
FMitch
lovely clue amanda, thanks
6:22 am
amandacath
YW - how bout the er7? From the log I got that it has something to do with a possible state of a part of the male anatomy, but I can't seem to get that into 7 letters...?
6:24 am
FMitch
it's an er5 that builds (so to speak) to an er9, there is no er7
6:25 am
FMitch
starts from the 2nd e on the top row.
6:26 am
dramalho
I'm terribly sorry but ... what's all this or sc9, er7, re7/32 ... it's clearly lingo, but not one that a newbie, such as myself understands :D ...
6:26 am
amandacath
got the 5 and 6, will see how much bigger it can get ... sorry, bad puns are so hard to resist!
6:27 am
Haz1558
re7/32 - is shorthand for a word that begins with re, has 7 letters and yields 32 points. These are reached by adding up the point value of the tiles used, and multiplied by 4. 5 letter words are doubled, 6 trebled and so on.
6:28 am
FMitch
dramalho - it is a way of giving clues w/o typing the actual word . Do have a look at the link under friends of babble - Anglesongs Resources - it will explain a lot about how to play and what it's all about. :)
6:28 am
dramalho
right, thanks Haz, think I got it now :)
6:29 am
Haz1558
Good, hope you enjoy the game.
6:29 am
dramalho
I will Mitch ;) I can't keep missing 100 words like I've doing :) (actually this is my second puzzle, but what the heck ) :)
6:30 am
FMitch
LOL amanda, try adding the n4/4 to the end of the 5.
Hi again Haz - 18 left to find, how are you getting on?
6:31 am
amandacath
duh! thanks Mitch - and pass the fish
6:32 am
Jacula
Thanks, FMitch. I just made it bigger.:-))))
6:33 am
FMitch
LOL Jac, love yr icon BTW
6:36 am
Jacula
Thanks, FMitch. I dreamed about that dog last night. He's so cute. Haven't had a dog for some years now - still getting over the total trauma of taking my old one (who was 18) on his 'final journey'. Has anyone seen the Rainbow Bridge thing? I still weep buckets over that.
6:39 am
Atalante
I dreamt about Hayden Christensen last night *grins muchly* then got woken up by the cat deciding to use my stomach as a trampoline ... just great ...
6:40 am
Jacula
Atalante - the two cats who decided to adopt me in my dogless time get shut into the utility room at night. Their food, water and litter tray is in there. It's their bedroom.
6:41 am
Atalante
VERY sensible. Mine stays well out of the way too - until husband manages to leave the bedroom door open at 5:30am as he staggers off to work ...
6:42 am
amandacath
Well at 110 and getting nowhere, I am resorting to lists ... one of these days I'd like to finish a grid without them
6:43 am
FMitch
Ah!!!!! amanda we can all dream of that, I too am working on the list (thank goodness for them)!!!!
6:43 am
amandacath
BTW - Mr. Pres - your new tick-box list is fantastic!
6:43 am
Jacula
111 here, Amanda. Sometimes, it helps to just stop looking for a while and go and do something else. When you return words just jump out at you. Works for me, anyway.
6:48 am
Jacula
I see 'Tesco' is in the grid. They get everywhere, don't they? LOL.

7:07 am

nope.....just my current net moniker
7:08 am
Haz1558
Jera- was the corned beef and cabbage in honour of St Patrick's day?
7:09 am
Jera
Yes... well, I don't care for him much but the kids wanted to celebrate anyway... so I let them cook it... good stuff. I usually wear green anyway, so that doesn't make the day special...
7:09 am

sometimes I go by jjetx or jettx or jetxx and so on....

Haz1558
I was amazed to discover that Americans think it's traditional Irish fare. I've never eaten it and don't know that it is served much here at all.
7:12 am
Karys
corned beef hash seems to be getting 'trendy'
7:13 am
Jera
Not being Irish, I really have no idea... I can handle a little pop culture... if it's not traditional Irish fare, wonder how it came to be part of St Pat's day tradition??
7:13 am
Haz1558
Yes, as is 'champ', long regarded as peasant fare here. It's now been elevated to a much higher status.
7:13 am
Jen
Just had corned beef hash for breakfast this morning!
Hi all! :)
7:13 am
jetx
i had a pastrami sandwich during yesterdays babble session.
7:14 am

Morning, Jen.
7:14 am

thats it then Haz....its the American influence !!
Hi Jen :)
7:15 am
Jen
It's pretty traditional Irish-American fare...
7:17 am

ok ...all this talk about food makes me want my lunch....see you later :)
7:17 am
Haz1558
Must take a break for lunch. See you later.
7:17 am

Aaaaaahhh! Irish-American... we just muddle up everything, don't we (Americans)? Always have to put our own spin on things...
It's part of our charm!

How'd the cookie sale go? Sorry we didn't make it down! I pretty much finished the taxes but need to find info on claiming non-taxable VA disability benefits.
7:21 am
jetx
...corned beef serving as a substitute for Irish bacon
7:22 am
jetx
instead of a BLT you could have a CBLT sandwich
7:22 am
Jera
Yes, jetx... I never knew!
Tha's okay, Jen... we sold about 30 boxes & were so cold we bailed on the second session... wasn't worth it! It's not like they will spoil or go to waste...
7:23 am
Jera
We will probably do another local Booth, then save them for Mayfest, back in Strasburg (we always go there & have a Girl Scout Booth). By then people have eaten all they bought & want more... plus the weather is better...
7:25 am

Isn't this weather wacky? They are predicting snow tomorrow! Happy spring, huh!

Get ready folks we had a whole big bunch of newbies last night and several went pro. Some of the new babblers are afraid that we are going to have growing pains. Hopefully not.

Faeriekae... sorry to leave you hanging... my son required more milk & he's not quite ready to serve himself...
Not sure where I got my icon... I think I just did a search for fairy pics & this came up. Or it might be an allposter.com poster... they have a lovely fairy section there... I steal their stuff all the time!
7:47 am

10:43 am
Miyavi_fan
I'm GREAT thanks Shorty, how are you! But...I just had a weird thought. You know toast always falls butter/marmalade/jam whatever side DOWN? and that that's a scientifically proven fact?
...if I put butter on BOTH sides of my toast and drop it, will it fly?!
10:43 am
hurshy
balker - i don't think he's online now... he's not logged in over at iron sudoku, anyway

Oh tbear! - My daughter says I scarred her for life cos she didn't get a Sindy caravan!
10:46 am

No Miy, it will land on it's crusty edge. Everybody knows that.
10:46 am
Miyavi_fan
oh, that's right, FMitch. Destroy a childhood dream!!!
10:46 am
Miyavi_fan
But...But Mab...
*sighs* I just wanted to believe it :/
10:47 am
hurshy
miya - they did a mythbusters on the toast thing. they found that if you drop toast from vertical, it does NOT prefer the butter side. but in real life, people drop it by knocking it off the table, where it is always butter side UP. and it does have a tendency to fall on the opposite side from a table, butter or no butter. so really, the butter is not the problem!!
10:47 am
mab
tbear, that's truly horrid.
10:47 am
balker
And the toast will land on one side, bounce and land on the other.
10:47 am
spellacked
now, miya, what you need to do is butter a cat, which always lands on its feet... the spinning can run a city's electrical needs!
10:47 am
tbear
snowy.....put her in touch with me...we can have Sindy withdrawal co-counselling sessions....might well be that thats holding me back in life....Yeah thats it I need a Sindy sportscar.....

Good strategy, skizzy!

My strategy is to go all through the grid starting in the upper left hand corner and finding as many as I can for each letter and then breaking out the list after I've gone through the whole grid once. I'm in the middle of my first pass. About to start l...
1:24 pm

That's a neat way to do it Smith. i'll have to try that tomrrow.
1:25 pm
smithchick
I've had a realtor come look at my unlisted house, gone out of town and had company for three days. This is my first free babble day in a couple of weeks where I don't have to race through! Very exciting...
1:25 pm

LOL smithie,
that's such a high work-ethic strategy. i noodle as much as my attention span will allow (about 10 minutes)and then sprint to the list!
1:25 pm
capone
Oh well, jilted, again.
Have a happy Monday folks, I'm off.
1:26 pm
smithchick
Lately, I've been breaking out the list really early so I could hurry up and finish while I had a few minutes here and there. I prefer the luxury of leisurely going through the grid.

yep smith - everyone begins like that! you only have to have a little killer instinct to get better. i've told a bunch of people there about this site. i like to describe the two games as polar opposites, same basic principle, but this game is played at a snail's pace & tangle comparatively is played at light speed

hiya hurshy - what do you mean?
2:20 pm
hurshy
i mean i live at a boarding school, and there's a firewall which blocks most game sites. thankfully not this one!!! so i cannot play on iwin.com :(
2:21 pm
hurshy
well i guess it's not the firewall so much as the settings they put so the students won't play games
2:21 pm
smithchick
The word starts with en, is 8 letters long and is worth 45 points. That babble for dummys link is great as is angelsong's link.
2:21 pm

down to last 3: the last me5/12, the first se5/14, and the last se6/18. The me in particular is frustrating me... a clue would be nice (I have the blackbirds and the disarray)

2:30 pm

my 5/18 - add 4th vowel + 13th letter in the alphabet + 1st vowel.
2:30 pm

I would kill for that en8, Mo. Why won't anyone clue us?

It ends with an l. The practice of magic is also called so*****. That is the root word.

2:42 pm
spellacked
smithchick -- that did it! I'm done. The previous clue said, "me + curvy letter + 19th letter" -- should have said 14th.
Now I can get back to work :(
2:42 pm

2:46 pm
krajcd55
Mo - See ce 6/21 & 7/28 - change first letter
2:46 pm
krajcd55
I am sorry I meant ce - 7/32
2:47 pm
spellacked
vtd - co's are e-words done with someone else.
re6/18 - how you'd feel if we told you all the answers
2:49 pm
ca$hmyre
i have two 8s, but no 9s. how many are there? clues, anyone?
2:49 pm
mo
krajc... thank you very much
2:51 pm
krajcd55
VTD - co - 7/36 - co + (means upright) or see - er 5/12
co - 8/50 - plural of co 7/36
2:52 pm
krajcd55
Mo - Your welcome!
2:52 pm
Douglas
First time playing, how many words are there supposed to be in this puzzle, anyway?
2:52 pm
mo
just realised i havent got the remaining se5/10.se6/18,se5/18 and se6/30,,,help please
2:53 pm
ca$hmyre
somebody said 199...
2:54 pm
krajcd55
Mo - se 5/10 is plural of se 4/4
2:54 pm
smithchick
HI new people. There are a lot of you. Where did you all here about babble?
2:54 pm
Douglas
I didn't follow the comment thread...my bad. That means I'm not doing so hot...I only have 58 words so far...
2:54 pm
mab
199, Douglas. If you click on the link at right to Angelsongs page you'll find lots of info, and a list of the first two letters of each word.
2:55 pm
ca$hmyre
hi smithchick. my bro-in-law sent me this link ysterday. now i'm an addict :(
2:55 pm
mo
krajc...thank you i have that ...the ones i need are the ones after that
2:55 pm
lola100
mab. I am overwhelmed by the desire to fluff your hair.... : )
2:55 pm
krajcd55
se - 6/18 (see ce 6/21)
I don't have the other two, yet.
2:56 pm
Douglas
But it's poor etiquette to give answers, yes?
2:56 pm
smithchick
It doesn't take long, ca$h...
se5/18... It's a weird spelling of a word meaning sadness without the double consonant in the middle and with a different beginning vowel. The se6/30 is the plural.
2:56 pm
krajcd55
Mo - Whoops, I haven't got those yet, sorry.
2:57 pm
smithchick
Yes douglas, very poor etiquette. Another clue for se5/18. Se + *** your boat...
2:57 pm
Douglas
I just got a 7/28. Woo-hoo!
2:57 pm
smithchick
Go douglas!
2:57 pm
mo
krajc... no worries ,,,but thank you anyway
2:58 pm
smithchick
Hey, shorty!
2:58 pm
smithchick
Am I gonna smack myself when I find the a's? I have no idea at this point what they are.
2:58 pm
Douglas
Apparently you can't use the same letter twice...
2:59 pm
mab
I know, lola, she's pretty cute. I adored troll dolls (and still have a couple).
2:59 pm
sherb
given up on sudoku... I should never have let myself be tempted...
2:59 pm
lola100
smith, am6/24 and am7/36. They sound a bit like where you live : )
3:00 pm
lola100
shall I build her a lego house?? : )
3:00 pm
vtd
Thank you thank you for clues. Got both co's. My last one for the day is still the first re 6/18. Spellacked - I'd feel "relieved," but that's not in the puzzle!!! Another clue anyone for the re?
3:00 pm
mab
No, smithie, it's a strange word. a plus french for thank you with a different vowel at the end. and plural.
3:00 pm
smithchick
TY, lola. I wouldn't have guessed those anytime soon.
3:01 pm
Douglas
I just got a 6/18, doo-dah, doo-dah.
3:01 pm

3:02 pm

A lego house would be great. Leave room in case she meets an eligible male troll doll.
3:02 pm

3:02 pm
72 Temple Owl

3:03 pm
ca$hmyre

3:03 pm
Douglas
But I seem to be starting to run out of ideas. I just got a 4/4
3:03 pm
lola100
...and starts building a lego troll doll house! : D
3:04 pm
Douglas
I'm starting a strategy of looking at each letter as the first letter of a word. Just got a 4/5
3:04 pm
72 Temple Owl
mab i still have two trolls: a salt and pepper haired one and a new york mets one!
3:04 pm
lola100
cash, think of a large continent, remove one vowel and change the last one : )
3:05 pm
lola100
douglas, if you go pro you get a stats programme telling you how many words start with each tile : )
3:05 pm
ca$hmyre
does Pro also get you all those nice little icons?
3:05 pm
Douglas
I've already noticed the Scrabble stragegy of extending words. 6/21, 7/32
3:06 pm
torgone
To heck with sudoku. I'm back here for a while. Hi all!

3:08 pm
72 Temple Owl

3:08 pm
Douglas
Ents is most certainly a word!
3:08 pm
mouseshadow
hi smithchick (and everyone else). There was a link on boing boing (web blog) which might be why there are more new people on babble.
3:09 pm
smithchick
HI mouseshadow!
3:10 pm
lola100
cash, yes, pro gets you an icon, a handbag and a flag too! : D
3:10 pm
ca$hmyre
any j words on this?
3:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
second wo6/30 please?
3:10 pm
sic
can somebody repost the stats please?
3:10 pm
torgone
I will, smithchick, as soon as I get a round tuit.
Heya mab! In love? Me? Just with myself ..
3:10 pm
lola100
temple, it's a plural : )
3:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
nevermind...
3:11 pm
Douglas
Now I'm confused, but it just did let me use a letter twice. It was also the first and last letter
3:12 pm
smithchick
LOL, torgone...
3:13 pm
Douglas
Ecce isn't a word, but should be, as in Ecce Homo, behold the man...
3:13 pm
sherb
Douglas - can't have been the same letter twice... sometimes there's more than one way to make a word in a grid, especially one like this... :D
3:13 pm
smithchick
If it is in the grid more than once, you can use it more than once, just not that letter in that position.
3:14 pm
sherb
er, it's 'ecco'...
3:14 pm
Douglas
4/5, 5/12, 6/21, 7/32
3:14 pm
TheDonster

3:20 pm
vpchat
Someone mentioned that BoingBoing.net is sending traffic here. It's my first time here, and BoingBoing is how I found it. Cool site!
3:20 pm
smithchick
Well, don. I am actually rather inept and didn't have an icon for months.. MONTHS... because I couldn't figure it out. So rather than shame myself by admitting that I couldn't tell ya, I shamed you instead.
3:21 pm
kartra

3:21 pm
snowyowl

kartra for the om4 think of Mr Simpson - 5 is the plural
