11:34 am
musicmom
Not bad Stid. Did lots of errand this morning but that means I can stay home all day tomorrow. Deposited GS money, picked up my paycheck, put the down payment on our furniture so it could be ordered, delivered GS cookies. You know - same old thing. How about you?

BRAVO Stid!
11:36 am
stidmama
well, I helped out in a first grade classroom this morning -- my kids are older, but helping early readers is "my thing" -- so I just started. a little nervous as it had been years since I worked with really young kids, but fun enough. the weather is good, so will be outside much of the day, I think -- need to transplant a few more items... same-o same-o!
11:37 am
musicmom
FUN!!! I love working with first graders - emergent readers get so excited. Hannah just started really reading and she is hilarious!
11:38 am
justafreep
stid -- I started an elementary school library this year, and now I suddenly "get" the satisfaction of helping early readers. Can't be beat!
11:38 am
musicmom
Ginger - did you find your fe?
11:40 am
stidmama
yes, I've been helping early readers for 30 years... off and on. It's a passion for me (my mother has her master's in remedial education, I started out helping her when I was a child...). Of course, my own kids didn't need me! :-)
11:42 am
M3
en 5/12 please?
11:42 am
hkj
musicmom - if you have the last fe 4/7 then you know the third letter has to be later than the third letter in that - its not obvious but I found it by playing with the letters.
11:43 am
musicmom
m3 - if you have the en 6 - remove the r
it means to take place
11:43 am
stidmama
en 5/12: to proceed from; en + a girl's name

Here in the US we have a number of wood henges. (And "henges" is here today too.) But you have to think like Oedipus trying to argue with his Fate. Babble is what it is, no matter how unjust!

1:21 pm

Well, does anyone need any clues from me before I'm off to do laundry and balance the checkbook and then throw myself into a distraught heap on my bed and use it as an excuse to read my Lisa Scottoline book?
1:21 pm
smithchick
Yay, Bex!!!!!!!!!!
1:21 pm

Hi Everyone!
Judi, the other two lists work like BA's list. Angel's hascheck boxes and Lickety's has check boxes and a place to put the words.
Yea, bex!
1:22 pm
Praes
i have my 3 royal and my 2 lines
1:22 pm
Deutsch
Smith, Your day sounds like fun. Maybe you better grab Lisa's book and read first!
1:22 pm
smithchick
Well, there is the female monarch, the plural, and past tense, then there is the line that you wait in, the past tense, the one in it and the plural of it.
1:23 pm
smithchick
add the doer and the doers to your list, praes.
1:23 pm
krausbrew
then there are the one that put you in those lines and the plural of that
1:24 pm
smithchick
Hey, Deutsch! How are ya? I've promised myself I will at least change the laundry around before allowing myself to read.
1:24 pm
Praes
thanka much!
1:25 pm
Deutsch
Ah, smith, laundry always beckons. taught a class this morning, but I see the grid is small. I hope to finish!

smithchick
It's really easy. I finish in under an hour with no list. You won't have any problem.
1:27 pm
smithchick
finished, I mean.
1:27 pm
Deutsch
Smith, thanks for the encouragment!
1:29 pm
Merk
OK, finished my walk. I'm still stuck on the last three 'su': su4/5 su 4/8 su6/33
1:31 pm
cliffopa
one su 4/5 starts out like a girls name, ends 2nd consonant of your screen name. also sounds like where effluent goes.
1:32 pm
FMitch
su4/8 and 6/33. Think The Beach Boys & their seaside activities.
1:32 pm
smithchick
One su4/5 is a person who takes someone to court, one su4/5 is certainty and the su4/8 is what one does in the ocean (hang ten) and the past tense is the su6/33.
1:33 pm
FMitch
sorry Hi everyone too :)
1:34 pm
Deutsch
Hi fmitch!
1:34 pm
Merk
I got the su 4/5 ... both. But what about the beach.
1:35 pm
Merk
Oh, in the water at the beach. Now su 6/33
1:37 pm
Merk
My 's' are all finished. I have two he to go... both are 4/5. I have the farm fowls, it's the other two.

1:44 pm
Merk
I got the one now that reminds me of clue, but with an incorrect vowel.
1:45 pm

Merk, one is a barnyard beast.
the other rhymes with you a tenant pays every month
1:45 pm
Boysaway
fe5/20 please?
1:45 pm
lonalinn
thank you
1:46 pm
Vicuna
fe5/20 - rumor has it it's a Scottish fiefdom thing. You can think of the German for fire and change the last letter, or think of "Family Fe--" and add a letter in the middle.
1:47 pm
Boysaway
Thanks Vic!
1:47 pm
Merk
I am so dense. It was the part of my foot. It must have been in my mouth.
1:48 pm
Merk
And I don't know any German!
1:48 pm
Deutsch
good one, Merk. It was like that for me yesterday!
1:48 pm
Vicuna
You're welcome. I don't see how anyone gets those without clues.
1:50 pm
Merk
I am struggling with the final "fe" and a 5/12 en. Then I will be finished. I'm ready to pull my hair out. Isn't this supposed to be fuN?
1:52 pm
Vicuna
my final fe is pl of French word for fire, but I'm still missing an f, so maybe that isn't the last one.
1:52 pm
cliffopa
merk, if your final fe is 4 letters, think fe and the country i'm from (minus last letter)
1:53 pm
Merk
The initials of your country?
1:53 pm
Eva
merck-the en5/12 which I think you're looking for is something that results after something happens. Or, the prefix plus going into court to claim damages from someone else.
1:54 pm
Praes
de 5/16?
please clue
1:54 pm
Merk
I am missing the final fe 5/20 and fe 4/8
1:54 pm
cliffopa
if you have the en 6/21, just take out the 3rd consonant for the 5/12 you are missing.
1:55 pm
Eva
the fe5/20, which took me forever too, is Family Fe__, but place another vowel between the 3rd and 4th letters.
1:55 pm
Judi
Finito. That was a pesky one!
1:55 pm
Eva
praes-think of a playing card
1:56 pm
Deutsch
cliff, what if, say a person, doesn't have the en 6...
1:56 pm
cliffopa
the last fe 4/8 is the clue i just gave you.
1:57 pm
Eva
deutsch-en6/21-to make certain of something
1:57 pm
cliffopa
the en 6 is also the brand name of a special drink elderly people consume
1:58 pm
Eva
good one cliff!
1:58 pm
Deutsch
well, good grief! smack me with the fish of obviousness!
thanks, Eva
1:58 pm
Merk
Thank you for the fe 5/20. What in the world does that one mean? Now it's just the fe 4/8
1:58 pm
cliffopa
by the way, it tastes gross to me.
1:58 pm
Deutsch
And thanks, cliff!
1:58 pm
Eva
Wow, it is snowing hard here!

vicuna just read your earlier frankin clue lol!
1:59 pm
cliffopa
eva, i'm in NH. we had snow this am, but now rain.
1:59 pm
Eva
deutsch-we all get so used to looking for bizarre words that the "real" ones become invisible.
1:59 pm
cliffopa
the rain has brought worms up on the front lawn and currently there are about 10 robins chowing down. my cat is going crazy.
2:00 pm
Deutsch
so true, eva!
2:00 pm
Eva
cliff-I'm in Vermont-close to Montpelier, and it's been snowing since mid-morning and is supposed to continue through tomorrow. Just on the margin between snow and rain.
2:01 pm
Deutsch
It's chilly here, too. 56 F and sunny!
2:02 pm
cliffopa
i love VT. if i didn't live in NH, i'd live in VT
2:02 pm
Merk
Any clues on the final fe 4/8?
2:02 pm
Eva
Nice image of the food chain in action. When I drove hom e yesterday there was a robin standing in the freezing rain with a look on his face which I read as "hmmm....maybe I took this flight a bit too early"
2:03 pm
cliffopa
the final fe 4/8 is an anagram of what you would light to set off a bomb.
2:04 pm
cliffopa
it was really wierd this year eva, the robins came to NH in february. they don't usually show up until end of march.
2:04 pm
Eva
very funny stuff on "wait, wait, don't tell me", on public radio the other day about the differences between New Hampshirites and vermonters. They were broadcasting from Lebanon. I do wonder how 2 states so close to each other became so different politically/culturally.
2:05 pm
Merk
May blessings shower upon your head Cliffopa.
2:06 pm
cliffopa
i think the VT - NH thing all started with the border dispute. NH was too possessive about the CT river. my dad's family is from the outskirts of lebanon.
2:07 pm
cliffopa
thanks for the blessings merk. glad i finally figured out how to give a decent clue.
2:07 pm
citykid
hello, I am new here, also from NH

hello, Eva,
How do you all know how manhy of each size word there is?

2:10 pm
Deutsch
welcome, citykid!
2:10 pm
cliffopa
j - there are 2 de 5/12's - one of them is how i feel when i can't get a clue.
2:10 pm
jfarber
Oy -- I always spell that with a c. and the de 5/12 (the second one, I think)
2:10 pm
cliffopa
the other de 5/12 is an anagram of the one i just described.
2:11 pm
jfarber
Great, thanks -- I had the odd spelling, not the d'oh one. Figures that would be my last word...
Do I get fireworks today?
2:11 pm
Eva
city-there are lots of ways. If you go to Babblersanonymous there is a list every day which tells you. There are some other lists too. At this point I know because I managed to finish earlier.
2:11 pm
Merk
Well, try your hand at clueing me in on en 5, 12
2:12 pm
jfarber
City, I've been working off licketysplit's list...I had been using the babbler's anonymous list, but it wasn't up -- and lickety's had those nifty checkboxes, so I think I'll keep using it. Both are on links to the right.
2:12 pm
cliffopa
j - i don't know how to do the fireworks. but i'll clap for you. although you probably won't hear me. congrats!
2:12 pm

2:12 pm

city, in the same friends of babble box, click either angelsong or lickety for lists with check lists.
2:13 pm
jfarber
Merk: en5/12: to happen, en + common nickname for a girl's name
2:13 pm
cliffopa
merk - en and a girl's name (also in a johnny cash song 'a boy named ***)
2:14 pm
jfarber
+ then the plural (en/6) comes immediately after.
2:14 pm
Merk
Duh! That's when I feel so dense ... when it's actually a word I really know.
2:14 pm
jfarber
Thanks for the fireworks, folks. Anyone else want a clue? Also: just curious: what happens if the word "clue" shows up in the grid? How do we avoid that?
2:15 pm
Eva
we ask for hints(-:
2:15 pm
cliffopa
i don't have a clue :)
2:15 pm
jfarber
(Merk used a word, merk used a word...sorry, I got giddy from all those fireworks and the flu keeping me home sick from work today)
2:15 pm
Merk
Cu 4/6 and then I think I am finished ... I have the wild dogs, it's the earlier one I need.
2:16 pm
jfarber
Tom CR**** - two vowels. Never heard of it either, but there you go.
2:16 pm
Eva
merk-there are 2 others. One is a wine/champagne term
2:17 pm
cliffopa
what doctors do when they make you well. they cu**you
2:17 pm
jfarber
OOPs. N/m. Doctors have a ____ for my flu.
2:17 pm
inge
It will cu 4/6 you of whatever ails you.
2:17 pm
Merk
No I got the doctor helping you word.
2:17 pm

everyone thinks my cats name (the handsome fellow in the icon) is Merk- but i's Merp.
2:17 pm
cliffopa
if your sick j, you could use one!
2:18 pm
thedave
ne 4/4 hawaii's state bird
2:18 pm
Eva
it's an an anagram of the dogs word
2:18 pm
cliffopa
if you've got the wild dogs one and the doctor one you have both the cu 4/6's. maybe another combo?
2:18 pm
jfarber
only 2 cu 4/6, though. Perhaps you mean 4/5?
2:18 pm
Merk
Oops, I am so so sorry. It must be the 4/9 I am missing.
2:19 pm
jfarber
OK, merk. cu 4/9 sounds like a middle ages peasant.
2:19 pm
cliffopa
sounds like what the water that hits the beach is called, only starts out with a c.
2:19 pm
Eva
sorry merk-I've been giving you clues for a cr4/6 not cu4/6.
2:19 pm
inge
Cu 4/9 is the first four letters of what a city proclaims from 6 p, to 6 a.m. when there is unrest in the city.
2:21 pm
Merk
Is it an alternate spelling of that word?
2:21 pm
cliffopa
cu 4/9 = su 4/8 but swap out first letter
2:22 pm

2:26 pm
tommynp
do I have to upgrade in order to see what words I'm missing?
2:26 pm
Vicuna
fe5/20 - rumor has it it's a Scottish fiefdom thing. You can think of the German for fire and change the last letter, or think of "Family Fe--" and add a letter in the middle.
2:26 pm
Merk
If there are 76 words, then I just have the one qu left to do.
2:26 pm
cliffopa
if you have qu 6/30, just make it plural
2:28 pm

Those nasty plurals. You love them when you remember to check for them, but kick yourself when you forget. You all were a tremendous help. What I'd like to know it ... where do they find all of these odd words?

3:34 pm
gafwald
cyclone5, start simple. Find a few four or five letter words and go from there. You'll be surprised how many more you'll find. It works a lot like Boggle. Pick a letter and look around it to see if you can start making words.
3:36 pm

Minski: That was my last word too. It means 'two,' and I think it relates to playing cards.
3:42 pm
cyclone5
what are theese codes you guys are using?
3:43 pm
Minski
OK.
My last 2 words missing are the
ce 5/ 12
ce 6/ 24
Please help.
Thanks.
3:44 pm
Minski
Forget it.
Found them both.
DONE!!!!!
3:45 pm
Minski
THe codes are ways of identifying words we are missing. Example: CE5/12 means a word that starts with CE and has 5 letters for a total of 12 points.

3:58 pm
Minski
The easiest way to use the babbler's anonymous site is to right click on it then click open up in another window. Then click on general and then click on stats. That way BA opens up in a separate window and you don't have to keep clicking back and forth.
3:59 pm
bleugirl2
ok, i have 42 words on my own, now i am using BA and I see there is a CE 4/5. I know I will kick myself but I can't see the word. Hints?

4:04 pm
chic
Hello Nubies, the points don't matter really except for players' rankings (see the top of the page) and you have to have played for 3 days to get in the rankings. It's really about getting all the words in 24 hrs.
4:07 pm
BaronPuffPants
it's the average number of letters in the words you've found.
4:07 pm
dl88
XTBABBLE - take your total amount of points and divide by the number of words found, = 4.54
4:07 pm

6:09 pm
chic
LOL. I was just going to say did he get loose!
6:10 pm
evanonut
yeah, the little stinker slipped away, just as i was thinking i might give him a treat ;-)
6:10 pm
Rubes
me too! I have all the qu words except the last 7/44. I already have the one about royalty ending in ed. clues on the other one?
6:11 pm
chic
the other q's are about Elizabeth of England and other tenses of the words you have...
6:11 pm

6:14 pm
saffire

6:15 pm
inge
OK the qu words having to do with standing in line are: the line, past tense, the person in line, and plural.
6:15 pm
evanonut
chic, he is HOT, however, why would you blond him? morelli is italian. then again, i always pictured morelli with a more angular and brooding face.
6:16 pm
princessmissy
thank you inge!!
6:16 pm
chic
I thought Joe was of the blonde Italians with blue eyes.This guy can brood....
6:16 pm
inge

6:17 pm

6:17 pm
evanonut

6:27 pm
chic
'nut, different stroke for different folks, I guess and these pics don't really do justice...
6:28 pm
cliffopa
ev - i used to fight it. but now my son has his master's degree and more money than me....
6:28 pm
evanonut
i'd still be in the less money than the parents category, but through no fault of my own really. i believe at one time i was doing better.
6:28 pm

evanonut
* sigh *
6:46 pm

6:47 pm
evanonut

6:51 pm
Rubes

where have our icons gone
7:50 pm
cliffopa
i personally like motorcycles (and cyclists) but thousands at the same time are deafening. we live on the route to the gunstock camping area and so it is non-stop roaring for 8 to 10 days.
7:50 pm
btwrt
it's better than the 4th of july :)
7:50 pm
evanonut
so long as you wore a helmet dear!
7:52 pm
cliffopa
ev - in NH the state motto is 'live free or die' so no helmets are required. *tee hee*
7:52 pm
Angela
Ev - ALWAYS. Contrary to popular belief my head is not hard enough to withstand the impact :)
Cliff - we live on a major road near I-91 so we get that too. Very cool.
7:52 pm
evanonut

7:54 pm
cliffopa
angela - one time my husband and i went to the mt washington area to try and get away from the roar. didn't work. now we invite people from all over to camp out in our yard. if you can't beat 'em.....
7:55 pm
Angela
*wonders if there is a towel nearby...*
Great attitude Cliff! That's much appreciated by all bikers. I think I will be taking my own bike up there this year for the first time...maybe...
7:56 pm

8:00 pm

you scared 'em off... but I helped!
8:01 pm

sorry 'bout that. okay, i'm ready to listen.
8:01 pm

8:01 pm
Angela
I've been too busy gabbing... :)
8:03 pm
cliffopa
tara, the en 6/21 is a nutritious drink for elderly people or those who aren't eating right.
8:03 pm
jackleventon
why dosn't DR. seussword work on this puzzle?
8:03 pm
cliffopa
i should have clarified 'brand name' for that en.
8:04 pm
stidmama
there are three en words:
en # 1 (4/6): en + abbreviation for girlscout
en #2 (5/12): "what follows"; en + a girl's name
en #3 (6/21): a protein shake commonly used by invalids and the elderly; to take precautions so something does or does not happen
8:08 pm
stidmama
jackleventon: not all real words work, same for fictional ones! I haven't figured out a logic to the dictionaries used by most word games -- some foreign words count, some common slang words don't, occasionally no one can seem to find a meaning for one of the "words" the game wants!
8:10 pm
jackleventon
thnx stidmama, still working on your last clue thnx again
8:11 pm
stidmama
yw -- hey all, I am going to wander through my garden once more before it gets dark, and fold the laundry. Back in an hour or so...

11:18 pm
stidmama
gloworm, time is a tricky thing... some people take a long time, others not much at all! Generally (but not always) shorter puzzles take less time, but they can also be really tricky. This puzzle wasn't too bad for me, but yesterday's was really difficult (for me, not for all).
11:19 pm
stidmama
bye JBs!

2nd le 5/10 is the 4/4 above with the 2nd vowel on the end.
