12:16 am

LeslieAnn

oh, i think it is like a hedonist?

12:17 am

libarebel

more hedonistic...

12:17 am

mrpresident

th9 - a nice compound word!

12:17 am

LeslieAnn

oh that makes sense, i was thinking it was refering to a person

12:17 am

LeslieAnn

mr. p you are on a roll tonight!

12:18 am

libarebel

but does sound like the chinese appetizer wa 6/30

12:18 am

12:21 am

ShadeEagle

oooh, thanks ;)

12:21 am

Ornith

hiya all

12:23 am

libarebel

hee hee... the server seems slow-- cursor change from one field to anothe does not take place immediately, so, players type in wrong field

12:23 am

libarebel

also typing input is slowed

12:24 am

Ornith

whoa, it took me 5 words to see "these". I like the TV/VCR overlap there though :P

12:24 am

ShadeEagle

now to the st's ... almost ready to take on the missing word.

12:24 am

LeslieAnn

folks, can we not type words in the puzzle into the log, please?

12:24 am

dinksbumps

nope cannot find the 9

12:25 am

Ornith

I figured that one was safe due to being directly written out in the puzzle, sorry leslieann

12:25 am

stidmama

I'm with dinks... can I have a bit more? mrp -- It's 10:25 pm here and my eyes are so tired!

12:26 am

melonheadjujube

wowie - got 3 8s so far none lead to the 9 yet....

12:26 am

libarebel

hi, LeslieAnn, in all fairness to players, it's te slow server connection, I think ;)

12:26 am

kristinc

leslieann...what snack did you bring us?

12:26 am

dinksbumps

its early morning here and the eyes have not woken yet, or the brain

12:26 am

12:50 am

ShadeEagle

and

12:50 am

9tanks

people who type in chat box should always remember to use the TAB. After chatting pressing TAB the cursor moves out of the Chat box, this will help them while they are typing the words for the grid. Others will not see the words by this method. So however slow is the server TAB is good for babbling. Is this para long enough melonheadjujube

12:50 am

ShadeEagle

pepper

12:50 am

libarebel

melonheadjujube-- did you mean the conversation in which the housewife committed murder?

12:53 am

wassup

yeah, good thighs for the chewing... :)

12:53 am

LeslieAnn

nice, corps

12:53 am

markbowers7

do u have clues fror the f8?

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

12:53 am

ShadeEagle

12:53 am

markbowers7

clues, i need clues

12:54 am

tommynp

f8: type of kissing

12:54 am

corpsvalue

f8/65: slang for deep kissers involving tongue

12:54 am

melonheadjujube

hint se 8 is se 9 minus an inner letter - it is an enzyme.

12:54 am

LeslieAnn

lol, mark, the f8 starts with a country's people

12:54 am

Uneaixoise

plural of fr6/33

12:55 am

LeslieAnn

oh an enzyme, why didn't you say so? ;)

12:55 am

markbowers7

ah ha

12:55 am

Ornith

and the se8....?

12:55 am

markbowers7

i concur with Ornith

12:55 am

Ornith

wait, I have an se9 and it isn't an enzyme...

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

leslie ann - i just did ;)

12:56 am

tommynp

se8 = se9 minus a vowel

12:56 am

melonheadjujube

se9 is not the enzyme - but se 8 is.

12:56 am

markbowers7

im surprised that "one who fr8" is not accepted

12:56 am

Ornith

ahhhh

12:56 am

ShadeEagle

ahhhh don't want to even look at an S right now

12:56 am

markbowers7

ok...i need both the se8 and the se9...clues?

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

mi 2 mark

12:57 am

Ornith

se9 is a general term for something produced organically

12:57 am

wassup

whoa! got the 9!

12:57 am

ShadeEagle

ah, se8 is the enzyme

12:57 am

wassup

mark, think of something that is leaked for the se 9

12:57 am

ShadeEagle

it's easier to get the se9 and work backwords

12:58 am

froelica

i got that one too. great minds....

12:58 am

libarebel

I think now we freedom, nor fr****-- f8/65

12:59 am

melonheadjujube

th 9 - two prepositions

12:59 am

Uneaixoise

wassup, great clue!!

12:59 am

markbowers7

i would have gotten it faster if someone said se +cr6/21

12:59 am

markbowers7

for the 8...

12:59 am

libarebel

but, of course vive la france!

12:59 am

wassup

wow, just noticed that there are 4 9s...thought i had conquered that quest...

1:00 am

melonheadjujube

liba - somehow patriotism doesn't enter my mind when smooching!

1:00 am

markbowers7

Is the second ec 5/14 a variation of all the ECs just before it?

2:59 am

FranMag

if there was one more I we would have a very tasty italian dish served as an appetizer

3:00 am

KittyVane

It is Samantha

3:01 am

KittyVane

although I only have the one ec5/14, so I don't know which one you're looking for...

3:02 am

SamanthaJoy

D'OH!!!!!! It would have helped if I'd counted them correctly; I just spent five minutes searching for a word I already had

3:03 am

KittyVane

how many ec words are there? (I don't want to go to the list quite yet...)

3:03 am

SamanthaJoy

Seven, in total. Basically two words, though.

3:03 am

FranMag

i don't have the list yet

3:03 am

KittyVane

okies, thank you :)

3:14 am

SamanthaJoy

You're missing a second 6/24, which comes between the 7/36 and the second 5/14. It's a variant spelling of the second 5/14

3:14 am

9tanks

you need one more ec6/24

3:15 am

Cat9x

TY Samantha and 9tanks! I'll go look :)

Oh! I don't think I've ever seen that spelling in print before. Thanks so much!

3:18 am

KittyVane

Has anyone gotten the 9 letter word yet? It's got me completely stumped.

3:18 am

SamanthaJoy

Well, I have two of them. Are some already well extablished?

FMitch

Hi Haz, sha, Fran and MrP
I was hoping for a somewhat smaller grid today but it seem it is not to be.

3:30 am

Haz1558

I feel like a smaller grid as well, but once you start....

3:31 am

mrpresident

Morning Haz and FMitch! big grids are the in thing I guess! I would love a little grid again!

3:32 am

KittyVane

I'm off to do all things housewifey before I go blind from staring at the grid too hard. Later everyone! :)

3:33 am

FMitch

yea, something aroud 150 would have done nicley today.
Bye Kitty

3:33 am

Haz1558

Bye KittyVane!

3:34 am

Haz1558

What's the betting on ex-Wren playing? Two places for re words...

3:35 am

FMitch

Oh I wonder how many re's there are today and sprite won't like the k's

3:35 am

mrpresident

the k's are actually decent!! no stupid ones!

3:36 am

FMitch

I was looking at the letters earlier and although not playing, almost succcumed when I spotted and f6 that builds to an f8!

3:38 am

Haz1558

Thank you - or should I say, merci?

3:39 am

FMitch

... and silence fell in the log whilst everyone went hunting the elusive f's

LOL Haz

3:41 am

Hello Everyone!

Hello Preethi, are you well?

3:45 am

FMitch

Cheers lickety

3:45 am

Haz1558

Thank you very much lickety - we appreciate your help!

3:46 am

licketySplitAUS

No Probs Haz! Love it. Do you like the extra stats?

3:47 am

Haz1558

I like the fact that I can check off how many words of each two letter value there are without having to count! The whole page is a great help!

3:48 am

FMitch

hear hear!!! I'll second that :) I like the breakdown by 2nd letter summary list as that indicates what the grid is going to be like.

3:49 am

Haz1558

I'm laughing at myself being pleased at having found two 8 letter words - there are 10 of them!

3:52 am

Haz1558

There's a glorious cr8/45 from the bottom corner. Think of painting fences.

3:52 am

mrpresident

Haz, thankfully only one of the 8 words is clue worthy... the others are nice easy ones once you get the root words!

3:52 am

mrpresident

and that was the clue worthy one!

3:53 am

Haz1558

Oh good - so the rest are just waiting to be spotted!

3:53 am

mrpresident

oh yes! nice ones that come along with the rest!

3:55 am

FMitch

OK time for me to be off and get the work machine rolling but I will be lurking in the background. Happy babbling

3:55 am

mrpresident

bye FMitch!!

3:56 am

Haz1558

Have a good day FMitch - and don't forget to back me up if necessary!!

Okay - see you later!

4:12 am

Haz1558

Good morning Blaze - this is quite a nice grid today, although perhaps a little too big for comfort.

4:13 am

Paige & Maddie

hey every1!!!!

4:13 am

Blaze

comfort and insominia seems to be opposites.... LOL

4:13 am

Haz1558

Well, hello you two!

4:13 am

Paige & Maddie

clues pls???

4:14 am

Haz1558

Okay - some to start you off. an4/4 - little insects, ec4/6 - what you hear when you shout in a big empty room.

4:16 am

Haz1558

ro4/4 - a flower, fr6/33 - a language, et4/4 a volcano in Sicily

4:16 am

Haz1558

he4/5 - Superman is one of these, and add an s for he5/12

4:17 am

FranMag

paige & maddie, you're back!

4:17 am

Haz1558

ho4/9 is the sound that a goose or a car horn makes, ho4/5 is someone in charge of a party

4:18 am

Haz1558

kn4/8 and kn5/18 - you do this with needles and wool, kn4/8 and 5/18 - you make these with string, or rope.

4:18 am

licketySplitAUS

Hey Haz - back again. The stats I was refering too was the biggest words in the last 39 grids (that'll keep growing), and also the words that keep appearing as well.

4:18 am

Haz1558

no4/4 - everyone needs one of these to smell with!

4:19 am

Haz1558

Yes, the recurring words one is useful - I'm finding that some words repeat themselves quite often in grids and it's good build up a database of them.

4:20 am

licketySplitAUS

when I get spare moments I try to add more grids back in time! Oh lickety GET A LIFE! heheheheheh

4:21 am

Haz1558

As long as you enjoy it, where's the harm? I wouldn't have a clue where to start with it all, but I do appreciate the help it gives me in solving these things!

4:21 am

ylleria

does anyone have a clue for the 3rd wa 6/30?

4:22 am

oggy

help with re8 please

4:22 am

licketySplitAUS

To be honest I'm in awe over all you babblers - I don't know how you know so many words. Clues really don't help much - just give it a bit of structure and a system to it

4:22 am

Haz1558

Good morning ylleria - I only have the one wa6/30 (one who requires) but you probably have that.

4:22 am

ylleria

never mind, got it

4:23 am

oggy

i need the 1st one if anyones got it

4:23 am

ylleria

morning haz - don't worry about it, I got it anyway

4:23 am

Haz1558

lickety - I don't know all the words by any means! When I run dry on my own, I use your list and look up morewords.com for the rest.

4:23 am

Haz1558

Thanks ylleria - now I'll have to look for myself!

4:24 am

Haz1558

oggy, I don't know if the first one is the restaurant worker?

4:25 am

ylleria

haz - there's an 8 and 9 that come off the 3rd wa 6 as well

4:25 am

licketySplitAUS

Oh Haz - I know how good you are ;-) Those who claim to do it all from memory are either one of those 'special' people or full of sh4,4!

4:25 am

ylleria

and the first one is the restaurant worker

4:26 am

Haz1558

Now I'm really laughing, lickety!

4:26 am

ylleria

that's all the w's down :)

4:27 am

licketySplitAUS

Wasn't there someone like that yesterday?

4:27 am

mrpresident

you mean 'special'... or full of it??

4:27 am

Haz1558

You're not going to draw me any further on that one!

4:27 am

Eva

good morning all!

4:27 am

Eva

clue for that 3rd wa6?

4:28 am

Haz1558

wa6/30 - a word meaning immoral or unchaste

4:28 am

licketySplitAUS

Come one Haz - sit back and have a chocolate bar fun ride with me ;-)

4:29 am

Eva

thanks haz-had that one but didn't know it was the third, so just got the 8 from it.

4:29 am

licketySplitAUS

or a fruit sorbet ;-)

4:29 am

Haz1558

Eva - pluralise it and you get the 9.

4:30 am

Eva

how can there be a plural of an adjective? i.e. wa9? Must mean something else?

4:30 am

licketySplitAUS

Well I gotta go make trouble elsewhere now - Have fun everyone. bye for now.

4:31 am

FMitch

lickety you little devil you!!!!

Haz - look out for an email

4:31 am

FranMag

bye licketysplit!

4:31 am

licketySplitAUS

Bye Everyone - A Clue before I go : USE THE LIST!

4:32 am

mrpresident

LOL!!

4:32 am

licketySplitAUS

or I'll come get ya!

4:32 am

Eva

when I glance at past scores I realize that there are many babblers who play without chatting, and possibly without the aid of any clues or lists, and get all of the words every day. Must be a different species.

4:32 am

licketySplitAUS

hehhehehehe - mmmm 'special' indeed. GOtta RUN - Outta here!

4:34 am

Haz1558

lickety - be good!

4:35 am

licketySplitAUS

Actually - just before I go, I have to explain that my chats sound like I'm trying to be bossy - We'll I'm not - I'm just being sarcastically funny. Be free, throw the list away, as long as you have fun and enjoy each others company!

4:36 am

Haz1558

We know, lickety - thanks for all your help.

4:37 am

Haz1558

And now I must go as well. I'll be back later hopefully.

MrP, I am sorry if I spoke out of turn, but they semed like trolls to me. Been around the web for years and they seemed like trolls. Besides, when I said trolls they acted like they knew nothing of which I spoke. I find it hard to belive there are 15 yr olds who don't know what trolls are. I ado apologize if I spoke out of turn, just been there, done that :)

MrP - the shed and fence paint. I'd got that, thanks. Probably because we've been trying to do all the garden woodwork in between rain showers.

7:06 am

mrpresident

That 8 was one of the clueable words! I didn't know it was garden paint!

7:06 am

Jacula

FranMag - you are not alone! (Why do you think I said it? LOL.)

7:06 am

7:06 am

Jacula

MrP - it's a wood preserver.

7:08 am

sandr

10:26 am

hurshy

10:27 am

hurshy

10:27 am

10:30 am

CJ25

sprite - I was getting soooooo frustrated

10:30 am

sprite

ylleria: first 3 letters = number, last 3 letters is last part of match (the one you make fire with).

10:31 am

sprite

I know, CJ, been there, done that! So irritating, when you just cannot find a word. But you have it now, you did not give up :)

10:31 am

CJ25

Always take a break I think will be my motto

10:31 am

hurshy

bringing up baby katharine hepburn cigarette quote! "ah, a tw6!" "what?" "tw6 a nickel"

10:32 am

sprite

That really helps, CJ. Though I can't get myself to take a break before I found such a bugger :)

Anniebrook

10:34 am

sprite

Hurshy, I always check my list for forgotten plurals, singulars and such at the end. Usually pays of hugely.

10:34 am

hurshy

well sprite, since i don't have the list... i miss 1 t, 3, f, 4 n, so you might as well go cook unless there's anything you can obviously think of.

10:34 am

LeslieAnn

lol well congrats annie :)

10:35 am

Anniebrook

thank you. bbl

10:35 am

amandacath

I took a break and I still don't see it (the he8) - does it start with the common adverb or the less common one?

10:35 am

sprite

My own list, hurshy, with the words I entered, lol. I do not use other lists, usually.

10:35 am

libarebel

I got one of these clues right away

10:35 am

amandacath

Annie, I hate to break it to you, but that's FMitch's icon...

10:35 am
