hetty - sorry for lack of reply - I really just get the clues published and then get back to work. Answer is that I spent alot of time writing a program that can produce the clues in under a minute.

Your free 14-day trial period has expired
Don't worry, you can still play Babble for free. The only difference is that the Stats Panels are no longer visible. To restore the Stats Panels, and to get a bunch of other great additional features, upgrade to a Pro account. It's only $14.95 for life!

Upgrade to Pro
....what does it mean..?
4:14 am
amandacath

Aleksia - don't worry. It just means that you won't get the stats anymore, or fireworks when you finish the grid, but you can still play. If you pay you can get them both back, and you can put a picture next to your name like FMitch or Atalante.

Not for soap operas in general - Coronation Street in particular.

musicmom

Me tooo jbp -- nocturn is killing me!
9:22 am

Well the n8 is hard to explain. It is an animal that sleeps in the daytime, but only the first five letters. End it like the ending for the word when guys are on str*** to build muscles.

You'll make it Haz, nice to see you.
10:13 am
Haz1558

Hello jbp! I'm actually surprised that there are so many normal words!
10:14 am
jbp

including the greek male statue from BC?
10:14 am
Merk

And almost every single syllable word in the English language ending in a ck. If in doubt, try that.
10:14 am
FMitch

true, but I found a lot of the normal ones very hard to find, squirly and tucked away.
10:15 am

yay fmitch and mirk!
10:15 am

Yes, you kind of come upon them by accident. Oh look ,that's a word.

i'm looking for ac 5/14.....
10:15 am

Question ... the day will come when I won't have time to finish a puzzle. Score wise, am I better off not even starting if I know I can't finish?
10:16 am
Haz1558

Yes, Merk, but where is the fun in that?
10:16 am
Merk

AC ... pungent, bitter taste

Merk - if its a big one don't start it, a small one probably won't knock yr ranking too much
10:17 am

Merk, I know I can't finish every single day!
10:17 am
hetty

Yup. No competition here, just fun--collegiate style
10:17 am

You have a point, Haz, but it's a good motivator for me to try to improve my Cream of the Crop score.
10:17 am

Hi, I am back for a few moments and need a clue for the ko pls
10:17 am
SamanthaJoy

Anyone who wants to complain about my ranking can take over one of my jobs or find me an extra three hours to sleep at night--this is just how I decompress
10:18 am
Haz1558

For fun mainly. It's nice to get the points but nobody in this house gives two hoots whether I finish or not. I like to finish just for my own satisfaction at finding the words.
10:18 am
Haz1558

And good morning hetty!
10:18 am
Merk

I hear you. Thanks for the input. I'll do it as time permits then. Right now I'm on a vacation of sorts, except I have tons waiting for me to do.
10:19 am
Haz1558

It's entirely up to yourself, Merk. That's the joy of the game, everyone can take it as seriously or not as they choose.
10:19 am

10:19 am

SamanthaJoy

Anyone want to help phandmd with that ko? I don't have it, meself
10:20 am
hurshy

please note i am neither encouraging nor discouraging anyone from playing part of a puzzle just for fun... but it is a fact, if you want to know, that it's better for your ranking not to play than to play part of a puzzle
10:20 am
SamanthaJoy

oh, merk's all over it. thanks!
10:20 am
Haz1558

The beasties at home are behaving well, the beasties in the field are having to cope with unexpected heat.

10:38 am
tndaisy1960

10:39 am
tndaisy1960

11:05 am
jbp

for all kinds of reasons
11:05 am
hurshy

ohh man, i'm mad i missed that ac6
11:06 am
hurshy

the main one being that they didn't boldly go! (at least at first)
11:06 am

11:10 am
jbp

jbergenudd

any meaning to the word?

11:30 am
hurshy

11:30 am

11:38 am
hetty

I've got that, Leslieann there's a third no4
11:38 am
hydra

Or rather, omit the vowel at the end!
11:38 am
hurshy

starts like the creatures that are awake at night (for 5 letters), and then ends like what da4 is on st:tng :) :)
11:38 am
LeslieAnn

oh, ok, sounds like what you do at a door to be let in, hetty

like... there were these two clams who were best friends, sam and ted. sam died, and ted missed him terribly. one night an angel came to ted and said he could take ted up to heaven to visit sam for just one night. so ted agreed. at the pearly gates, he was given a small harp to show that he was just a visitor and told to keep it on him at all times and bring it back when he left. so in he went, and found that up in heaven, his buddy had opened a disco. he danced the night away, thrilled to be reunited with his pal. when morning arrived he rushed back to the pearly gates and st. peter asked him to return his visitor's pass. "oh no", exclaimed ted! "i left my harp in sam clam's disco!"

well, the stupid man had a farm and he had these two horses that he couldn't tell apart. so he asked his neighbor for advice and his neighbor said, "why don't you cut the mane off one of them?" so he did that but of course it grew back. he decided to cut off the tail cause it was longer but eventually that grew back too. wanting a permanent solution he decided to ask for ideas at a town meeting. "why don't you measure them?" suggested someone. "great idea!" he said. so he went home and did that, and sure enough, the black one was taller than the white one.

one day the stupid man was driving along a country road and his tr5 broke down. he walked along the road to the nearest farm and asked if he could borrow a horse to ride to a mechanic's to get help. "sure," said the farmer, "but the only one that's not working right now is kind of odd. used to belong to a minister, so to get him to start you need to say "praise the Lord!" and to get him to stop you need to say "amen." being in a hurry, the man said, sure sure, whatever, and got on the horse, said "praise the lord", and rode off. he rode for some distance when up ahead he spotted a cliff. "whoa!!" he shouted. "stop! whoa!!" but the horse would not stop. finally he remembered and said "AMEN!" and the horse stopped, right at the edge of the cliff. the man was, naturally, very relieved. "phew," he said, "praise the Lord!"

2:12 pm
jbergenudd

no clues for to5?
2:12 pm
Vicuna

The other to6/18 is a bullfighter, I think. Start with rip and then add beginning of street.
2:12 pm
Vicuna

(I should say "ripped" as in this grid, and two letters of street, as in this grid.)
2:13 pm
jbergenudd

if that was for me I have the to6 but not the to5s
2:13 pm

2:13 pm
jbergenudd

nevermind
2:13 pm
Vicuna

to5/12's - one is gin and to---, the other is donut-shaped, but just switch the middle letter
2:17 pm
hurshy

what are the proper terms for those tenses of the 2 ripped words? past tense and past perfect tense?
2:17 pm
Vicuna

I think so, hursh. But you could always think of the past perfect, if that''s what it is, as an adj.
2:18 pm
jillibus

ask hetty, the english professor!
2:18 pm
hurshy

well only if it is off by itself, not if it's in a sentence like "i have to4 the paper in half"
2:18 pm
jbergenudd

cant think of the donut shape. the only thing i can think of is torus but that don't work :)
2:18 pm
Vicuna

You're right, jber. But make that torus into an adj form!
2:18 pm

O m g...
so I'm walking down the length of the shop floor for a meeting (the shop is where they actually make the gi-normous turbines and is a huge 3 football length field building that I work in). And there is this lovely huge shiny new turbine shaft (I think). It's all ready for loading onto the traincar that is pulling up for transport, and they are putting a bunch of saftey signs (you know, don't stick your ____ in the ____ icons) onto it... and there it is in big red capital letters:
DO NOT HUMP.
2:19 pm
hurshy

jbp - don't think so, neither of them is present and participles are -ing
2:20 pm
jbp

some days I love my job
2:20 pm

2:53 pm
pwinn

It's ca4/6, which means it's four letters, CA**. They come in decks of 52.

2:53 pm
tracymoo

well, I have 66 words in all (seems to kinda fit the day, eh?) and all the 7-letter ones, so I'm taking off for a while. You guys are great!! see you later
2:54 pm
cehess

Any charity on the ko6?
2:54 pm
pwinn

A bit more detail, 5th: Since it's worth six points, and is only four letters (meaning all point values are not multiplied) and since CA is worth three points already, that means the remaining two letters must be worth another three points.

Bye, tracymoo.
2:54 pm
Douglas

In what seems like a previous life, but really wasn't, I played John the Baptist in a church production of Godspell, where that was part of my speech...
2:54 pm
pwinn

So one of the other letters is worth one point, and one is worth two. You can ignore and high-point letters in the area, as well as any combinations that are only single-point letters.
2:54 pm
