1:52 am
FMitch

to do with the evening
1:56 am
Kateq
the no begins with a four letter prefix meaning night

3:05 am

Kind of kind. It is a K-grid. But it has its moments.
3:06 am

It starts hard but gets a bit better. So many almost words.
3:06 am
Haz1558
And have I missed any antipodean antics?
3:07 am
FMitch
Haz, you managed to grab some computer time before your daughters today?

Some halfhearted attempts, but nothing other than that.

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

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.

5:22 am

Hi Eva! So I wasn't the only one having problems.

Merk
Thanks. I'll start muddlling through.
5:26 am
Eva
amanda-the first 6 letters are pretty, but I can't figure out how to finish it?

Eva
I mean pretty clear
5:27 am
amandacath
If Mr. Data slept during the day.... (I think the're kinda pretty, too)
5:27 am
Miss ABS
end it with the "ending" of the drug that makes muscles bigger but is really bad for you... body builders sometimes use them.
5:28 am
Miss ABS
5 left here... soooo close.
5:28 am
Eva
well-I'm doing somthing wrong, becaue I've tried that ending, so it must be the beginning I need to vary.
5:28 am
Beast
wow you are doing so well
5:29 am
Eva
got it! Had to leave that "r" out
5:30 am

I don't Charm. I was hoping for clue

10:12 am
Haz1558
Well done FMitch - I'm crawling home still, having been in and out this afternoon.
10:12 am
FMitch
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
abe79
yay fmitch and mirk!
10:15 am
Haz1558
Yes, you kind of come upon them by accident. Oh look ,that's a word.
10:15 am
jbp
i'm looking for ac 5/14.....
10:15 am
Merk
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
10:16 am
jbp
if i ever thought about my ranking, I wouldn't have gone pro
10:16 am
hetty
mORNING, mERK. hURSH WOULD SAY no
10:16 am
Merk
So you do it for fun solely.
10:16 am
FMitch
Merk - if its a big one don't start it, a small one probably won't knock yr ranking too much
10:17 am
SamanthaJoy
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
Merk
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
phandmd
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
Merk
KO = K + personal possessive pronoun for us + vowels 4 and 3
10:19 am
hetty
Good morning, Haz. For a while trhe I thiught Merk was confusing me with you, and felt highly honoured. How are the beasties today?
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.
10:20 am
Merk
Thanks for the input. You teach me something new everyday, which is why I am here. Postponing the onslaught of Alzheimers.
10:20 am
phandmd
Thank you merk, I wouldl never have gotten that
10:22 am
Merk
Well, time to clean house. tata
10:22 am
Merk
Oh, as a bonus ... one of today's words is a homonym for my name. Bye.
10:22 am
FMitch
When you are don Merk, could you come round mine?
10:23 am
Merk
FMitch, it looks like I'd have to fly to do so, but otherwise I would, if alone to see your beautiful country.
10:23 am
FMitch
LOL see you next time Merk
10:24 am
Haz1558
FMitch - do you not think it is a scary thought that to4/6 (our esteemed leader) can be more so (to6/18)?
10:25 am
hetty
LOL Merk. Keep babbling
10:25 am
Haz1558
Bye Merk - good to talk to you again.
10:25 am
FMitch
Wel he would probably believe it!

phandmd

10:32 am
Haz1558

10:33 am
bookgrrl

phandmd

tndaisy1960

10:36 am
hurshy
the 8 starts with N? then that's my last N that i need!
10:37 am
Mary
ty bookgrrl
10:37 am
tndaisy1960
and it was such a lovely clue too...*sigh*
10:37 am
hurshy
does it build on any of the other N's daisy?
10:38 am
tndaisy1960
I'm not sure bcs I don'thave them all...but I can tell you this....it starts out like "nighttime things"...
10:38 am
hurshy
ooh i was wanting nocturnal so i'm glad there is something related
10:39 am
LeslieAnn
me too hursh!
10:39 am
tndaisy1960
then there's a 5th vowel...and the things that athletes take that they're not supposed to...part of that word on the end of it all
10:39 am
tndaisy1960
and if you're not confused by now...I'll keep trying! lol!!
10:40 am
hurshy
i mean got it
10:40 am
hurshy

10:40 am
tndaisy1960

10:41 am
shirin

10:41 am
hurshy

10:42 am
shirin

10:43 am
shirin

10:45 am
jbp
dr 6/27... do you mean di 6/27?
10:45 am
shirin
yes, thanks
10:45 am
hurshy
that would be a significant difference if so...
10:46 am
shirin
there was a clue earlier about lights fading during wartime, but I still have no idea
10:46 am
jbp
not bright but d** + not in
10:46 am
Uncagain
the di word, not bright , plus the opposite of in
10:47 am
shirin
thanks, that makes sense
10:47 am
hurshy
i got it from shirin's post :)
10:47 am
hetty
di6/27 is a word for hiding light--a milder version of "blackout"
10:47 am
hurshy
ironic really
10:47 am
hurshy
ar 6/18 was in yesterday's puzzle :)
10:47 am
jbp

10:48 am

10:52 am
jbp
the page keeps freezing on me
10:52 am
jbp
no, just genrally frustratedly typing it
10:53 am
LeslieAnn
oh ok. that makes sense.
10:53 am
jbp
not really, but it's kind of you to say so LeslieAnn
10:55 am
jbp

11:02 am
LeslieAnn

11:05 am
jbp
ac6... sharpness
11:05 am
jbp
ah... ds9 wasn't nearly as good.
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
LeslieAnn
i'm not that woulda taken me like an hour to find
11:06 am
jbp
the indeed was for hursh, not slamming you LA
11:06 am
hurshy
co6/21 ten boom, hid jewish refugees during the holocaust
11:07 am
LeslieAnn
eh, it woulda been fine even if aimed at me :)
11:07 am
hurshy
that's "co6 ten boom" that is all her name
11:07 am
bunnyvicious
the co 6 is like the co 7, but lose the "n" and double the r in the middle
11:07 am
jbp
great clue Hursh
11:08 am
hurshy
i'm doing much better with C's than i usually do, only 3 left myself
11:08 am
jbp
ci 4/5, i have the one that sounds like the promised land
11:08 am
jbp
what's the other?
11:09 am
bunnyvicious
I need to educate myself some more, I'd of never gotten it from that clue. I have to use dummy clues.
11:09 am
hurshy
sounds like how you address the king
11:09 am
jbp
never mind, it sounds like your majesty
11:09 am
jbp
never mind, it sounds like your majesty
11:09 am
hurshy
you prob could have googled "ten boom"
11:09 am
abe79
bunnyv, your clues rock!
11:09 am
bunnyvicious
Did I mention I'm lazt too?
11:09 am
LeslieAnn

11:37 am
pabtrek
I'm with daisy, crystalline structure?
11:38 am
hydra
crystalline structure derived from lichens, tndaisy. Take the sea creature, change the vowel at the end and add the opposite of out.
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
11:38 am
hurshy

Star Trek is highly idealistic, thinking that we would somehow just stop fighting among ourselves as we went into space.

11:43 am
BGL
phantom word... ornery
11:43 am
hurshy

1:08 pm
hurshy
which, jrh? ardra, or the word jbp said?

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!"

there was a minister who loved to play golf. one gorgeous sunday he decided to play hooky from church and hit the links. on his very first hole, he gets a hole-in-one. an angel up in heaven shakes his head and asks God, "now why would you let that happen?" and God says, "think about it - who can he tell?"

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.
1:47 pm
tracymoo

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!"

2:02 pm
EvaNadine

2:03 pm
jrh402s
Margaret Thatcher is my kind of woman.
2:04 pm

i have the "fancier" to 6/18 but not the other one - clues, please
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
jillibus
ta, vicuna - i had thought of it but couldn't find it and it was staring me in the face, duh
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
hurshy
that's right jberg, now make it an adj
2:19 pm
jbp
present perfect and participle
2:19 pm
jbp
what donut shaped one
2:19 pm
jillibus
i need the to4 unit of pressure
2:19 pm

hi all, i'm back. and I have a story....
2:19 pm
jbp
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
jbp
present part is -ing also called gerund
2:20 pm
jillibus
hahahaha jbp!
2:20 pm
jbp
past participle is verb form with I have ***ed...
2:20 pm
hurshy
but jbp, we're talking about the to4's
2:21 pm

2:39 pm
jbp

2:39 pm
jbergenudd
herring is nice :)
2:39 pm
tracymoo

2:40 pm
jbp

2:40 pm
tracymoo

2:41 pm
cehess
mi 5/20.. the plural for a unit of measurement equal to one millionth of a metre, apparently. I've never heard of it! but there you go.
2:41 pm
fifth element 2

2:41 pm
fifth element 2
i am so lost
2:41 pm
jbp
ok i have that one then.
2:41 pm
tracymoo
vicuna - you are my new best friend!!!!
2:41 pm
Vicuna
different people use different notations, tracymoo. the most common would be co7/32 or co7,32
2:41 pm
Vicuna
How nice, tracymoo!
2:41 pm
jbp
thanks cehess!!
2:41 pm
jbergenudd
ni5,14?
2:41 pm
jillibus
jbp - what do you mean, upstate ny? when I lived in nyc, "upstate" was about Poughkeepsie, not rochester or that area -- ???
2:42 pm
jbp
how about ni 5/14?
2:42 pm
cehess
welcome ^^
2:42 pm
jbp
Schenectady.....
2:42 pm
fifth element 2
i still dont get it
2:42 pm
jbergenudd
:) hi-5 jbp
2:42 pm
jbp
and jilly, that's only true for people from Da City
2:42 pm
tracymoo
5th element - took me weeks to catch on, but everyone will help you.....
2:43 pm
jbp
still would be st 5/some point value
2:43 pm
fifth element 2
good because i am really lost
2:43 pm
Vicuna
(still would be st5/10)
2:44 pm
jbp
thanks Vic. i knew there was math involved/ ;-)
2:44 pm
cehess
ni 5/14 is a type of battery
2:45 pm
Vicuna
jbp, the point values can be very helpful. If you know how to figure them, sometimes they pretty much tell you what letters have to be in a word.
2:45 pm
cehess
not quite ^^
2:45 pm
jillibus
yes.jbp, that's because Da City is the centre of the universe (note spelling of centre the brit way :)
2:45 pm
jbp
yeah, Vic, but math, not my strong suit.
2:45 pm
jbergenudd
jbp - rechargeable kind
2:45 pm
fifth element 2
i love math
2:46 pm
jbp
ah, you canadians and brits, spelling things properly ;-)
2:46 pm
pwinn
5th, if you have gotten any words at all, you'll see it in your word list. See the numbers?
2:46 pm
jbp
seriously, i'm blanking
2:46 pm
pwinn
The numbers are for letters and points.
2:46 pm
Vicuna
nickel is the first half of it, jbp. The second half is cadmium.
2:46 pm
Erda
those are brabd names... take first two letters of the stuff that makes you addicted to cigarettes, then add an unsavory male, a c**
2:47 pm
jbp
where do you find the numbers for letters?
2:47 pm
fifth element 2
yes the two easest words i could find
2:47 pm
pwinn
jbp, take that coin and shorten it and combine it with another element.
2:47 pm
jbp
omg, thanks, Erda& Vicuna!!
2:47 pm
Erda
brabd = brand sorry
2:47 pm
pwinn
Okay, so maybe you've got the word that comes in decks of 52.
2:47 pm
cehess
They're on the letters themselves.. for instance, the W should have a little 5 on it
2:47 pm
tracymoo
5th - it really is best to do the one-time fee, cuz then you can see more
2:48 pm
pwinn
That's ca4/6, because it starts with ca (we only give the first two letters in hints) and has four letters, and the total is worth six points.
2:48 pm
fifth element 2
i have to pay???
2:48 pm
jbp
oh, you're not talking to me...oops
2:48 pm
pwinn
I can't remember what's visible to non-payers, so I'm gonna log out and check.
2:48 pm
jbp
you don't have to 5th.
2:48 pm
tracymoo
you don't have to - it just make sit easier (at least for me)
2:49 pm
Vicuna
No, you don't have to pay. You can play just fine for free. But if you do pay, you get a few extra pieces of information up on your screen.
2:49 pm
cehess
you can see everything for 2 weeks.. then you lose the tile stats, word counts, and fireworks at the end =(
2:49 pm
Uneaixoise
re5/10 lariat or lasso
2:49 pm
Erda
sorry.........................
2:50 pm
fifth element 2
that is wierd that you see more when you pay
2:50 pm
gwinn
Ah, I'm in on my daughter's free account right now, and I see it all, but I just signed her up last week.
2:50 pm
cehess
The only things that remain are the grid itself, the word list, and the chatterbox.
2:50 pm
Uneaixoise
the fee is to help keep the site up
2:50 pm
tracymoo
and we do want the site to stay with us!!
2:50 pm
pwinn
That makes sense.
2:50 pm
Douglas
"And already the axe is laid at the **** of the trees."
2:51 pm
fifth element 2
i see
2:51 pm
pwinn
Fifth, since you're new, you're seeing everything there is.
2:51 pm
pwinn
Did my explanation of ca4/6 make sense?
2:51 pm
tracymoo
nice one douglas!!
2:51 pm
fifth element 2
a little did
2:51 pm
pwinn
Do you have that word?
2:51 pm

2:52 pm

2:52 pm
fifth element 2
no i dont have that word
2:52 pm
jbp
the re4 right before it? i know i'll need the fish on this
2:53 pm
pwinn
It's ca4/6, which means it's four letters, CA**. They come in decks of 52.
2:53 pm
jbp
i mean the re 4 right AFTER it
2:53 pm
fifth element 2
ohhhhhh thank you!!!!!
2:53 pm
jbergenudd
what's the other ca4,6?
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.
2:54 pm
jbp
ca +princess ** (english, deceased)
2:54 pm
Vicuna
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
tracymoo
one more kudo for all the non English-as-a-1st-language folks - you ROCK for even attemptting this!!!
2:55 pm
fifth element 2
oh ok
2:55 pm
jbergenudd

2:55 pm
jbp
k+yours&mine+2 vowels
2:55 pm
jbergenudd
only 29 left :)
2:55 pm
pwinn
And as jbp has pointed out, there is at least one other ca4/6 as well, a less-common word.
2:55 pm
Douglas
This game is non-trivial even for people with extensive English vocabularies
2:55 pm
cehess
Thanks jbp
2:55 pm
Vicuna
Go, jberg, go!
2:56 pm
jillibus
I believe kudo is not a word and kudos is a greek singular everyone misunderstands
2:56 pm
tracymoo
you got that douglas (looks like I'm taking a Babble break to babble)
2:56 pm
jbp
I'm down to 3.... 1 oc and 2 ta words
2:56 pm
fifth element 2
what is a hit for the other word
2:56 pm
pwinn
5th, I think the only other thing you *really* need to know is the existence of "Lickey's Babble Clues" from the list of links at the bottom of the page.
2:56 pm
jillibus
pwinn, i need a hint for that less-common ca 4/6...
2:57 pm
jbp
jberg rocks! i woudn't try this in swedish OR german, and I'm fluent in both....
2:57 pm
jbp
