Thanks

12:23 am

andy12489

All the 7s I got so far are ending in -s

12:23 am

sprite

It was a perfectly clear readme file, even for a webpage-making-noob like me. Great work, Angel, in every way. I have the backups and all, and I will try to follow the instructions if there is an update of the page. Looks like a breeze :)

12:54 am

cybernan

I can't find the er 9, if it's any consolation, Hurshy.

12:54 am

hurshy

i have no 8's or 9's and missing 10 of the 7's :(

12:55 am

mab

I forsee many em, en, re, and co words = too many prefixes.

12:55 am

cybernan

I only have 13 7's as well.

1:19 am

hurshy

ooh, got it

1:19 am

hurshy

hello pretty grey box

1:19 am

cybernan

thanks, 13

1:20 am

cybernan

still don't understand the jaberwocky bit!

1:20 am

131313

lots of med terms use greek or latin endings, so if you know the medical term for a couple diseases, you should knw the ending of this word

1:20 am

jasonplancaster

its a poem by lewis carrol

1:21 am

131313

theres a word from "jabberwocky" in this puzzle?

1:21 am

hurshy

twas brillig and the slithey toves
did gyre and gimbol in the wabe
all mimsey were the borogroves
and the mo4 raths outgrabe

1:21 am

jasonplancaster

lots of made up words from that poem have seemingly made their way into the english language :)

1:22 am

hurshy

i know the rest but i don't want to be a nuisance...

1:22 am

cybernan

sounds and looks like greek to me!! -- monkey typed the words at any rate.

1:22 am

jasonplancaster

i had to memorize that poem for school!

1:22 am

hurshy

hmph, the y is not placed conveniently

1:23 am

hurshy

it looks *nothing* like greek :)

1:23 am

cybernan

have 9 black boxes now -- everyone keeps saying grey, but they are black on my screen.

1:23 am

hurshy

counting the 0's, cnan?

1:23 am

131313

theyre purpley grey

1:24 am

131313

get a better monitor :o

1:24 am

cybernan

Not one word in the entire verse you just quoted has any meaning for me!

1:24 am

hurshy

"and" "the" - don't exaggerate, dear :)

1:24 am

cybernan

I'm insulted -- no 0's included!

1:25 am

131313

"and the" has no meaning?

1:25 am

hurshy

and i was only saying that the form of the words is very unlike the forms of greek words - i took greek in college

1:25 am

hurshy

then i have the same number of grey boxes as you!

1:26 am

cybernan

well, if we're going to get picky, other than prepositions and conjunctions.

1:26 am

hurshy

ok, clue on er9, maybe?

1:27 am

cybernan

yes, I could use one too!

1:29 am

cybernan

ooo -- just found the j

1:30 am

hurshy

i'm really curious bout this am7, too

1:30 am

Gloop

er9 has to do with my penis when i play this game...

1:33 am

hurshy

i don't see how that can be true. and, we do not talk that way here.

1:33 am

Gloop

am7 is what you all may do to me for that comment hehe

1:35 am

Dianne

am7 - fines/penalties.

1:36 am

hurshy

i know amortise, is it related to that?

1:38 am

cybernan

10 black squares, 140 words, and time for bed -- good night all --- I'm sure I'll see some of you in the morning :)

1:39 am

hurshy

i have 10 also!!

1:39 am

Dianne

I don't think so. Every city/town has a Chamber of Co******. This is am + the last part of that word plural.
If that makes any sense.

1:39 am

hurshy

dianne, where did you go?

1:40 am

hurshy

1:50 am

mab

This is a sneaky puzzle.

1:51 am

djget$

hurshy es7/32 the very fiber of something

1:51 am

131313

es/7 is the plural of es/6

1:51 am

hurshy

thankee. now i just need that en8 to finish off the e's.

1:53 am

Gloop

en8 = to enchant; bewitch

1:53 am

mab

I've not done a sudoku. Is the basis math, or is it more logic? Can one learn to do them, or is it something you need the knack for?

1:54 am

hurshy

logic. can learn.

1:55 am

mab

Thanks. May read a bit about it.

1:55 am

hurshy

ty gloop, how did you get all these?

Kevin and other new-co 6: if you click on Angelsong's Babble page listed at the right on the screen you'll find lots of useful info. Clicking on Links and then mrpresident's stats will give you a list of the first two letters of each word in the grid, etc.

roytang

2:27 am

EBTG

it's a plural...

2:28 am

hurshy

it sounded so simple when i said it...

2:28 am

mab

roytang: A thickening or hardening of a body part, as of an artery, especially from excessive formation of fibrous interstitial tissue.
google if this doesn't ring any bells.

2:28 am

djget$

lol ... roy it's a medical badness. has to do with hardening of like, for instance, arteries

KevinE

83 words/ 1244---found sc9/60, as well!!!!!

2:29 am

djget$

oh mab you're so right by the book you could get a little creative

2:29 am

roytang

ah got it...I knew what the singular of that was...the plural form never popped into mind

2:30 am

Holliezontal

thanks balker

2:30 am

KevinE

sc9/60 IS medical, but has more to do with the neuromuscular systems, I believe.

2:30 am

mab

Sorry djget, thought I would make it easy for new people? Something like that; but point well taken.

2:31 am

djget$

Not to worry new people, we all were new at some point. Just enjoy. Do scan Angelsong's Babble page - link at right on screen - where you'll find lots of useful infomation.

2:39 am

Also, understand that hurshy and sprite are exceptional players of this game. Try not to compare yourself to anyone.

FMitch

Morning, or evening all,
Is it a good grid today?

3:07 am

trishtrash

Morning FMitch ... enjoyable & swift so far (79 down... can't speak for the re4/4 of it, of course)

3:08 am

FMitch

LOL thanks trish! *dives into grid head first*

3:19 am

ElfWord

Are there plans to add more features for Babble Pro users? It doesn't seem that much worth paying for to me just yet.

3:21 am

FMitch

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.

3:32 am

Dianne

anyone get the or5/12 & 6/21? I can't find/see it.

3:33 am

sprite

Wo6/33 +7/48 minus W

3:34 am

FMitch

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

trishtrash

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

El Payo

Monkey Typing - that's great.

3:57 am

FMitch

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

3:57 am

Haz1558

Have to pop out, but will be back later.

anyone have the first mo 4/6?... i don't want to give it away but is this not an acronym? i thought those weren't allowed? does someone know the definition?

4:02 am

Dianne

soft shoe.

4:03 am

Gloop

hehe wth... is that some abbreviation?... thanks i guess

4:06 am

PappouTed

Good morning, everyone

4:06 am

4:09 am

trishtrash

See you, FMitch

4:10 am

Dianne

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 :)

4:54 am

Disaster

Hellow everyone =]

Hi, everyone!!!!!!

I have returned.....

5:13 am

Haz1558

Good morning, Movieman.

5:19 am

amandacath

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

5:20 am

movieman

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

Atalante

RFID?

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

Matkins70gig700

199

Damn those re's:::I'll leave them until later, much later, then maybe I wont have time to finish

can someone tell me how many biggies?

6:11 am

movieman

Amanda - 23 7's, 3 8's & 2 9's.......

6:12 am

Jacula

Morning all.

AmandaCath - 23 x 7s, 3 x 8s and 2 x 9s.

6:13 am

movieman

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.

6:48 am

Matkins70gig700

7:05 am

jetx

nice!....just babbling before work

7:06 am

Jera

That must be it... the kids are excited about planting seeds this afternoon...

7:07 am

Jera

One more word will tip me over the halfway mark... then I need to go clean the kitchen... everything STILL smells like corned beef & cabbage!

7:07 am

jetx

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

jetx

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

7:09 am

Karys

doing corned beef filled jackets tonight !!!

7:10 am

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

Haz1558

Morning, Jen.

7:14 am

Karys

thats it then Haz....its the American influence !!
Hi Jen :)

7:15 am

Jen

It's pretty traditional Irish-American fare...

7:17 am

Karys

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

Jera

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!

{{{JEN}}}

7:17 am

Jera

Bye, Haz & Karys!!

7:19 am

Jera

Interesting entry re corned beef in the wikipedia...

7:19 am

Jen

TTFN Haz and Karys.

{{Jera}}

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

Jen

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

A new song to sing

Every morning would bring...'

Ohhh Jacs - I love that song. I wish everyday could be spring also :)

7:35 am

Jera

VERY cute, faerie!! I tried to do some daisies, but all mine are bmps... so I decided to use my naked green ivy fairy

7:36 am

faeriekae

FMitch - hand over your word list and no one gets hurt. (holding daisie to stick up Mitchs nose)

She'd be a bit chilly, were it not for her magic...only 43 here now...

Why thank you faerie!
Think I might take a quick look at sudoku (glutton for punishment and all that).

7:42 am

faeriekae

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.

7:42 am

Atalante

omg woohoo! I've just confirmed my tickets to go to California and Oregon in a month to visit friends! I can Babble with a US flag for a bit!

7:42 am

anyone have a hint for am 6/24?

7:43 am

faerie, got both sites up at the same time so can babble cat and do sudoku at the same time.

Atalante - I am jealous, where in CA?

7:44 am

Jacula

Faerie - There might be a little chaos and a few growing pains but I'm sure it will soon settle again.

7:44 am

...on hold with IRS... anyone wanna take bets as to how long I'll have to wait? :)

7:44 am

am6/24 is a fine imposed by a court.

ch1212

hi snowyowl... I like books -- books were (and are still) like friends in many ways. We moved around so much that one of the few constants was my books. So when I was trying to think of a favorite 'toy or game' I realized books would be it.

8:25 am

snowyowl

Hi Jera!!!!!!!! Have missed chatting with you all -but time has been one of the myriad things I haven't had lately!

8:26 am

snowyowl

ch1212 -I have to admit that they would probably have been my 1st choice too - but I loved the way the etch a sketch okked as an icon!

8:49 am

Jen

hello fakeplastic
Later mab

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

10:43 am

tbear

snowy...I remember her...I had Sindys red sportscar for 2 hours one Christmas Day morning before my father sobered up,repackaged it and returned it in due course....miserable b_______ :)

10:44 am

mab

balker, poor flagless thing, send message via comments link at bottom of page.

10:44 am

FMitch

No Miy - you will just get a very messy carpet!!!!!
LOL

10:44 am

balker

I'm mailing with him, I just wanted him to see a message where there's no flag :)

10:45 am

Dr_God

Ok, balker, you're all set. Refresh the page.

10:45 am

balker

He must have sold all the flags to the middle east, I hear there's a lot of demand

10:45 am

hurshy

oooooh

10:45 am

balker

yep, thanks!

10:45 am

snowyowl

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

10:46 am

mab

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

shorty

LOL Miya

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.....

10:47 am

Hi Dr_God!

Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday morning, you gave me no warning of what was to be
Oh Monday Monday, how could you leave and not take me.

12:58 pm

cybernan

Think of a word for witchcraft, smith

12:58 pm

lgorms

1:15 pm

capone

1:16 pm

musicmom

lgorms - it isn't in the grid - should be okay.

any thoughts?

1:17 pm

capone

ToeSockMonkey, wait Hannah...

Will you marry me?

1:18 pm

smaller

smithie!!!!! good to see you!!!!

1:18 pm

skizzybiz

New strategy today -- working from the end of the alphabet up, to save on scrolling

1:19 pm

cybernan

abbreviation for second company?

1:19 pm

capone

hey, just noticed my name is in the puzzle today....

eat at j***

1:19 pm

skizzybiz

anyone have a hint for se7/44? it has to start with SEC and involve a Y, i'm pretty sure

1:20 pm

smithchick

Blech...blasted work... I've been housewifing myself into a state of perpetual cleaning. It has to stop!

1:20 pm

smithchick

Good strategy, skizzy!

1:20 pm

cybernan

skizzy -- lol -- I always start with that intention, but then I see words at the beginnng of the alphabet that I just know I'll forget if I don't enter them!

1:20 pm

musicmom

shhhhh skizzy we can't tell.

1:20 pm

smithchick

I have no se7's yet. Bummer...

1:21 pm

smaller

smithie-
well if you have as much mud as i do around here, i can certainly understand why about the cleaning. sooo...when you're done there, howsabout my house?!!

1:21 pm

smithchick

TY, Music!

1:21 pm

lgorms

skizzy: se 7/44...i can't tell you, i am sworn to se*****

1:21 pm

Schroeder

Hi all.....
Good clue MusicMom...I won't tell anyone

1:22 pm

skizzybiz

ah, thanks lgorms!

1:22 pm

cybernan

se 7/44: shshh! It's a se**** (another noun with the same meaning)

1:22 pm

musicmom

thanks guys!

1:22 pm

smithchick

Hi, Schroeder!

1:22 pm

lgorms

skizzy: i always start backwards for that scrolling reason

1:23 pm

Hi smithchick!!! Long time no chat....glad to see you are taking a break from evil housework :)

1:23 pm

cybernan

Hi Schroeder! :)

1:24 pm

smaller

LOL great clue MusicMom!

Hi Tink!!

1:24 pm

smithchick

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

musicmom

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

smaller

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.

1:26 pm

smithchick

Oh, don't be sad Capone!

1:26 pm

kartra

any hints for Jo4?

1:26 pm

lgorms

1:57 pm

cybernan

1:57 pm

smithchick

Hey, Temple...did the headache go away?

1:57 pm

cybernan

1:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, thanks, smith! but the schoolwork didn't!!!

1:57 pm

helenkeller

nan & ty for saying i'm good, wasn't always like that, big learning curve, but happy to be red. & i'm afraid i will never get to the high 2000's, cause i don't type well, only mouse.

1:58 pm

Angelsong

the ER 9 is within the first two rows of the grid.

1:58 pm

Schroeder

Hi Temple!!!!!

1:58 pm

smithchick

It never does, does it?

1:58 pm

musicmom

1:58 pm

Angelsong

1:58 pm

2:01 pm

cybernan

smith: iwin.com

2:01 pm

helenkeller

lol nan - do you have alot of games played? it was a long climb for me to red, with 3 or 4 dazzling light bulbs going off along the way!

2:01 pm

musicmom

got it thanks!

2:02 pm

smithchick

I played it the other day for the first time. I'm not very good. Can't remember my score, but it was singularly unimpressive...

2:02 pm

Angelsong

co8?

2:02 pm

cybernan

no -- only go there when I have nothing better to do.

2:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks for er clues.... : )

2:03 pm

helenkeller

smith- the tangle site was down for a week (about 3 weeks ago) iwin.com bought playsite.com & incorporated their games, so meanwhile all us tanglers went off to find other addictions, i found this one!!!!

2:03 pm

cybernan

I just can't think fast enough to get the high scores on tangle -- the brain does start to slow down at my age! -- as well as the fingers and lots of other body parts!!

2:03 pm

smithchick

Rue the day, helen...

2:04 pm

Gang - i have to go - 20 words left but duty calls. All c and s words for me when I return. Ttyl.

bye musicmom :)

2:05 pm

Schroeder

Bye Musicmom!!

2:05 pm

helenkeller

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

2:06 pm

helenkeller

lol smith, nope, now i spend way more time here than i do at tangle, only really went there yesterday cause i had problems getting on here. :)

2:06 pm

magic

2:11 pm

sherb

hiya Schro and smithchick :D :D

2:11 pm

mab

Good afternoon all. I will have to try tanglewords, although I tend to choke under time pressure. On the other hand, it sounds like what I need to force myself to think faster.

2:11 pm

smithchick

Hey mo... Who else is lurking out there!

2:12 pm

smithchick

It's my first day to be able to play without lurking in weeks!

2:12 pm

hey Temple :D

...Babble or Sudoku...

2:12 pm

LOL, mo. What'd you have?

2:13 pm

kristinc

I'm lurking because I'm on lunch and trying to get as many words as possible! ;) Hi everyone!

2:14 pm

helenkeller

mab, if you go to tangle - 2 pieces of advice. do NOT, under any circumstances start in the 30 second room - i still get killed in there. go to the 5 minute room, or look for a 2 minute room with a lower ceiling

2:14 pm

spellacked

Temple: Last three mo's -- think chocolate

2:14 pm

smithchick

Hey, kristin!

2:15 pm

kristinc

hiya smithy!

2:15 pm

boreetos

any better?

2:15 pm

helenkeller

lol mab - i crack myself up - by lower ceiling i mean: only players up to a certain rank can play there, more of an even competition - many people get disheartened & quit cause it seems so hard at first, but most folks are friendly & will help you out

2:15 pm

mo

homemde guinea fowl and ham pie with mashed potatoes ,celeriac and sprouts

2:16 pm

mab

Angel co plus er6/21..

2:17 pm

meows2002

I am lurking for clues.. I am stuck on the 9 letter work in line 1 & 2. grrrrrr

2:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

is tangle word boggle? i play boggle and i think that's why i have so much trouble getting long words - speed counts there! however - i played so much i am now competing with myself on certain puzzles!

2:17 pm

smithchick

Sounds good mo!

2:17 pm

mo

en8/45 please anyone

2:18 pm

kristinc

Holy crow Mo! That is quite the feast (at least by my humble standards)

2:18 pm

Angelsong

I have the er9. any clues for the others?

2:18 pm

helenkeller

ooooh temple - yes it is like boggle with one great improvement - i used to play boggle on games.com, but on tangle you are able to rotate the board, it's amazing how many words you can find from a different perspective!

2:19 pm

smithchick

I don't have it either, mo.

2:19 pm

mo

my dear husband made the pie ...i just did the boring bits

2:19 pm

Angelsong

also need clues for the 8's other than the co8, which I found, thanks, mab.

2:19 pm

helenkeller

i wish i was able to rotate this board - sometimes i sit here with my head at all kinds of weird angles :)

2:19 pm

smithchick

Wait, yes I do. It means to enchant or bewitch... Think of merlin...

2:19 pm

hoosier1960

Hello fellow Babblers. This is my first day and I am curious about the code "en8/45" spoken among more seasoned wordsmiths. What does that mean? Loving the game!

2:20 pm

helenkeller

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

spellacked

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)

2:22 pm

hoosier1960

Thank you. So a $10 investment is worthwhile if I want to know what I'm missing?

2:22 pm

smithchick

tack an s onto the second me4/5

2:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am still searching for the last three wo words...help please?

2:22 pm

grigs

spell - just got on, so i don't know yet if I have the me you need- do you have one that's the last part of a place to live?

2:23 pm

chrisrbailey

If you play the game even just a few times and enjoy it, $10 is worth it

2:23 pm

mo

merlin the wizard?

2:23 pm

chrisrbailey

wo words - kind of like bad

2:23 pm

hurshy

temple - one is a very improbable plural, then there's most bad and its plural

2:24 pm

helenkeller

bummer hurshy - time for that laptop, huh? a boarding school! what a great life you must have! i'm imaging robin williams now - dead poets

2:24 pm

chrisrbailey

Ugh, 34 words to go, 8 letter words done, and now I have to go to the office, will have to finish (I hope, for the first time ever!) tonight.

2:24 pm

spellacked

smithchick - I've got that one, I think, unless there's something in between?

2:24 pm

smithchick

Merlin was also a so******...

2:25 pm

mab

Thanks for the advice, Helen. Once in a while I play a very simple boggle game at wordplays.com. No extra graphics or sounds, just the game. Registration is optional.

2:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

mab ! that's where i play!

2:26 pm

hurshy

helen, a laptop wouldn't help, as i would be using the same network. no, in order to play i would have to pay for separate internet service. or maybe use my old slow free dialup.

2:26 pm

smithchick

It's a weird word. me + curvy letter + 19th letter plus vowel.

2:26 pm

kartra

can i have more hints for my5... i dont see it yet!

spellacked

my5 - it's what Ahnuld's headache isn't

2:28 pm

mab

grigs, honey, was that your toy as a child, a stick? Were you perhaps a feral child? Raised by chipmunks?

2:29 pm

mo

sorry smithchic still cant get the en8 word

2:29 pm

smithchick

spellacked, I actually got that! TY!

2:29 pm

grigs

it was the BEST toy! It could be a gun, or a sword, or a cane, or a steering wheel.... or i could tie a string to it and have a bow, or it could be a guitar....

2:30 pm

krajcd55

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

2:30 pm

mab

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

2:30 pm

smithchick

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

2:31 pm

hurshy

i know, it is a sad loss to the tangle world. maybe next time i visit my parents i will play it.

2:31 pm

grigs

smithchick - thanks, good clue!

2:31 pm

smithchick

Yay for grigs and his brilliant toy and imagination! My five sisters and I would play shipwreck on a twin bed. It was our island. It was a very crowded little island.

2:32 pm

mo

smithchick thank you i have it now!

2:32 pm

smithchick

YW, grigs...

2:32 pm

guigrrl

en8 --- bewitch

2:32 pm

smithchick

YW, mo!

2:33 pm

grigs

if you had had my stick, you could have built a sailboat and sailed away... or rowed somewhere...

2:33 pm

mab

Well, that's great grigs. I like the simplicity of it and how that leaves room for the imagination. It's no troll doll of course...

2:34 pm

mo

ne5/10 and ne6/18 anyone pleeease

2:34 pm

helenkeller

lol hurshy

mab - i will check out your site

2:34 pm

smithchick

LOL, grig!! Would that I had your stick... I'm grown now and I still haven't managed to row to far away from my parents. Well, I did and the current dragged me back.

2:35 pm

Matkins70gig700

can anyone help with the first mo4/6 please?

2:35 pm

grigs

okay, back to pretending to work. I have clients waiting for prenuptial agreements. (waaah, I wanna afford to pay cash for my house! of couse, if they couldn't afford that, they probly couldn't afford to hire lawyers to write prenups)

2:35 pm

spellacked

mo - ne5/10 is a perfume ingredient... but think roman

2:35 pm

smithchick

LOL again grigs. Whiners!

2:36 pm

spellacked

Matkins - mo4/6 - indian wear or snakes

2:36 pm

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

Jera

Finally got all the dirt off my dining room table... too cold to plant seeds outside... but the kids had a blast!

2:43 pm

2:45 pm

mo

vtd co8 is co+builds

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

ZA

189

2:53 pm

ca$hmyre

somebody said 199...

2:53 pm

smithchick

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

shorty

LOL lola

2:57 pm

mo

krajc... no worries ,,,but thank you anyway

2:58 pm

smithchick

Hey, shorty!

2:58 pm

shorty

hey!!!

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

72 Temple Owl

hey lola! hey shorty! :)

3:01 pm

shorty

hey TO!!!!

3:01 pm

smithchick

Douglas is on fire!

3:02 pm

mab

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

3:02 pm

lola100

hi temple! : )

*lola throws a bucket of water over Douglas*

3:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am not even getting clues today... : /

3:03 pm

ca$hmyre

i have no am--- words at all. didn't understand your clues lola. sorry, i'm slow.

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!

3:07 pm

mo

3:07 pm

3:07 pm

smithchick

Bye, mo!!

3:08 pm

krajcd55

Mo - Did you get the two se's? If not, I have them.

3:08 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye mo...hi tor : )

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

Douglas

6/18

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

allright....this may sound dumb,but, How do I chage my icon?

3:16 pm

Well, you actually have to have an icon before you change it, don.

3:16 pm

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

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