how can you have a word coming off the top N in the second column and none coming of the one right next to it, when the first N touches the same (only) vowel the other N touches
12:41 am
esquian

sorry...that would be second from the right
12:41 am
renfield

the 2nd n is grayed out so that we don;t have that prob today
12:41 am
jaianniah

The word is credited to the FIRST letter in the puzzle it can be solved from, when it can be found in more than one way...
12:42 am
esquian

first, from left to right?
12:42 am
jaianniah

I just learned that yesterday!

OK, here we go again. I cannot get into Lickerty's list (I'm on dial up - my broadband was SUPPOSED to be active this week, but talk talk has failed me at the moment) - and Brandyjack hasn't updated his this weekend. Could someone please send me the list at the address in my profle that uses my 'real' name - not a number?
11:17 am
FMitch

Finally we have sc*** a goal - I really was starting to get worried there. Lets just keep fingers crossed for the rest of the game.
11:17 am
FMitch

Matt I will email you the list

Better make it our toes, FMitch; it's hard to type with crossed fingers.

No scrote?! Disgraceful!

Where in England is FMitch's flag from? I have a friend who is flying one in front of his house. He has some sort of an English accent but I haven't asked him where he's from yet.
11:26 am
Dorens

ok, no offense taken fmitch...
11:27 am
Jacula

Minski - It's St. George's flag. The English flag.
11:28 am
Minski

I thought your flag is the English flag Jacula.
11:28 am
mattygroves

The flag Jacula and I flag is the Union Jack - that's for all of Britain. The flag FMitch flies is England's flag - the flag Caitlyn flies is Wales'. There are folks here flying Scotland's flag.
11:28 am
Moozey

that is the Union Jack
11:28 am
mattygroves

I made the desperate mistake when I first came to the UK - England is NOT Britain, any more than Texas is the US.
11:28 am
Moozey

which encompasses England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales
11:29 am
mattygroves

England <> UK
11:29 am
Jacula

Mine's the Union flag, known as the Union Jack when flown on board ships.
11:29 am
mattygroves

Northern Ireland - Moozey!
11:29 am
Minski

Sorry for my ignorance. Ahha. I understand. Thanks for clearing that up. I knew there were several different flag icons and they all say that you are from England and I didn't really know where they were all from.
11:29 am
FMitch

Phew Dorens - I am a happy babbler!!!

Minski - the flag I am flying today is the English St George one. Actually Moozey according to flag lessons this week it can only be calle dthe Union Jack when on a boat, on land its the Union flag - but hey babble is a continuous learning curve!!!
11:29 am
caitlyn

Moozey the Union Jack doesnt include Wales!! A great bug bear here
11:30 am
mattygroves

OK Minski - pop quiz. Where's Edinburgh? If you were buying a ticket for that city, what would you ask for?
11:30 am
mattygroves

Yes, but Wales has the coolest flag. I love dragons (as some of you may have noticed)
11:30 am
Moozey

hey if you don't ask you don't know. Oops and I meant Northern Ireland, what will check me to proof read (my parents are from Eire)
11:30 am
Jacula

Must've been a near miss in the match - just heard cries of, 'Come on!' followed by 'Oh God!'
11:31 am
Moozey

I assumed it did, though I was thinking the other day did you have some other flag cos I couldn't see how it fitted into the Union Jack LOL
11:31 am
Jacula

Caitlyn - Wales, rightly or wrongly, is represented by the flag of St. George. You have Henry VIII's Act of Union of 1536 to 'thank' for that! The first Union flag was made in 1606.
11:31 am
moorheit

Last word... Can I get help with the second te 6/18, please?
11:32 am
caitlyn

Mooz
11:32 am
FMitch

Moozey - absolutely!!! If you overlay the sepearate flags they make up the Union one excluding the Welsh Dragon.
11:32 am
caitlyn

OOPS
11:32 am
Moozey

I didn't know that Jacula - see you learn something new everyday!
11:33 am
mattygroves

The Welsh flag is cool...but I imagine it's a bitch to draw LOL

I didnt now that either (SHHHHHHH) Im English anyway!!

Jacula

Did you know there is a volcano in the middle of Edinburgh?
11:36 am
mattygroves

Yep - but the number of Americans who will talk about "Edinburgh in England" - you'd quail. Keep in mind that I AM American, and it took me AGES to get used to the fact that the UK is made up of a whole slew of separate 'countries.'
11:36 am
Moozey

no Jacula would that be over but St Alberts seat or whatever it is called?
11:36 am
mattygroves

I realise that Texas THINKS it's another country, and many people WISH LA were another country...but it is different here.
11:36 am

11:38 am

Moozey - it's Arthur's Seat, slap bang in the middle of Holyrood/Qheen's Park.
11:38 am
Jacula

*or even Queen's Park!
11:38 am

the volcano is under the castle, not Arthur's seat

A trip or two over to England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales is definitely on my list of vacations I WILL take. I can't wait. I have a travel bug but no money right now. *sob*
11:40 am
mattygroves

I took a vacation to the UK in 1988. I'm still here...
11:41 am
Moozey

Did you know Edinburgh has whole streets buried underground?
in 1645 Mary King's Close was shattered forever. The plague struck this little community and there is a myth that the local council decided to contain the plague by incarcerating the victims,
bricking up the close for several years and leaving the people inside to die. It is likely that this is why the close was nicknamed 'street of sorrows'
11:41 am

hi Layne!
12:00 pm
Jera

She wanted me to buy her more socks, which I just did rather recently, so I told her to gather up all her socks & we'd wash & sort them & she'd be surprised how many pairs she really had.
12:00 pm
Layne

Hi stidmama! Hot as blue blazes here -- how about there?
12:01 pm
stidmama

hot, hot and getting hotter! but at least not as humid as a couple weeks ago.
12:01 pm

How long is she away for Jera/
12:01 pm
Dorens

layne, i have a few that look weird to me, what numbers?
12:01 pm
stidmama

well Jera, did the sock sorting work?
12:01 pm
Jera

Anyway, she swore she found all she could. So I told her that every sock I found while she was gone was a week without a certain kind of book she likes (manga, which I swear has brought down her reading grades).
12:01 pm

12:04 pm
Jera

The Sprite just turned 10. I didn't have to look even that hard. She has no "under the bed" as she sleeps on a futon (her chhoice). I just gathered up the trash, sorted some books from shoes & toys, & voila... sock city!
12:04 pm
caitlyn

I bet you will miss her Jera (should give you extra Babble time though)LOl
12:04 pm
stidmama

12:05 pm
mattygroves

Check in the pillow cases...you've no idea where I've found socks - even in the trash
12:05 pm
Jera

She doesn't use pillow cases. She makes all her pilloews, those square ones from material that strikes her fancy. We gut them & wash them monthly.

mattygroves

Until this year, my daughter spent the whole summer (from late July when school breaks up here) with my mum in Phillhy - we've then joined her at the end of August. As much as I miss her, I've really enjoyed the time 'free' - she's been doing that since she was 7 or 8.

Jera

Thanks, FMithc!

12:07 pm
Jera

I did find one odd thing... she's always complaining about not having room in her bureau for her clothes... well, I found the drawers half ful of Sunday COMICS!! I guess that would cut down on the space for clothes...
12:07 pm
stidmama

I love my children, and love having them around -- but also think that the "alone with grandparents" time is important. Something I never had as a kid.
12:07 pm
Layne

YoBaby, have you tried talking to him about them? I know he's young but he may be able to understand some of it.
12:07 pm
Moozey

12:08 pm
Moozey

and how old is he?
12:08 pm
YoBaby

He's taking Xopenex through the nebulizer. Just getting home from a brief hospital stay with pneumonia. He's two. It was scary.
12:08 pm
Layne

stidmama, eavesdropping on your conversation, and I agree wholeheartedly -- grandchildren having time alone with grandparents is an amazing thing, for both parties. (This coming from a grandmother of 6)
12:08 pm
stidmama

ROFL Jera -- with our elder son (teen) it's maps and school papers...
12:08 pm
Jera

Can't wait until Gwyd is old enough to join the fun, but he isn't fully potty trained yet & they are too old to deal with that...
12:09 pm
YoBaby

I tried talking to him about it, Mom. At the mere mention of the word, he starts screeching cuz he thinks he's about to get another one.
12:09 pm
stidmama

YoBaby, what a scary ordeal for you all! I hope that he (and you) will be okay.
12:09 pm
Layne

Ooh, sorry. Maybe you should try letting Tag give the breathing treatment.
12:09 pm
Jera

I think she stashes them so she will have something to actually do while she's supposed to be cleaning her room, stidmama... *shakes head*
12:09 pm
Moozey

That is scary YoBaby, my daughter is asthmatic and we have has similar problems
12:10 pm
stidmama

*nods head* sounds hauntingly familiar, Jera!

12:59 pm
jaianniah

1. Te + past tense letters; 2. a person between the ages of 13 and 19; 3. plural that; 4. This is the beginning of a bunch of words all related- the root word is te + "THE E**". 5. Add er; 6. Plural that. 7. This is another family of words- start with many of the number after nine; 8. Add an "E" 9. Add an "S". 10. add the superlative ending- the most te5; 11. Take the number and add either, **- sounds like "oar" 12. Another family of words- a canvas home is a te**; 13. Plural it; 14. te+ the word that describes what horses do at a track- take out the "A" te***; 15. Plural it. 16. Sea bird- sounds like "Everyone, take your turn!" 17. add an "E" 18. Subtract the "E", add a "S"; 19. these words sound like words I've already given you clues for- only change the "C" to an "S" te 5/10; 20. The most of 19, a 7 letter word. There you go! Hope these help!

Back from church, refreshed in a double sense, and Mamabear find my chatlog diminished too. Gremlins.
2:36 pm
Layne

er 5/10: e + a common flower
2:36 pm
Haz1558

The first er5/10 adds a well known flower to e. It is pluralised for er6/18. The other er5/10 looks like parts of a poem with the starting letter missing.
2:37 pm
Layne

Oh, thanks Haz! You are the best at giving clues.
2:37 pm
Haz1558

Thanks Layne - glad to help!

You're welcome.

Can I ask how you knew that both of those words you needed started with er?
2:40 pm
Sharidan

couldn't they have started with en or ed?
2:40 pm
Sharidan

sorry I'm still learning
2:40 pm
Layne

Sharidan, if you go to the link at the bottom -- Lickety's -- you'll see a list of how many words start with each 2-letter combo. Very helpful!
2:41 pm
Sharidan

wow, thank you....that will be a big help!
2:41 pm
Haz1558

If you look under Friends of Babble, at the bottom of the page, then click on Lickety's babble clues, you'll find a list of second letters and point values. You can fill in the words you have already got, then see what you're missing.
2:41 pm
Layne

Some Babblers actually work the puzzle there, because there are boxes to fill in each word. Then, they transfer the results here because they want to stay in the rankings.
2:46 pm
Sharidan

I'm looking at it now. Now I see how you all know what to begin looking for. I've got 21 to go and hopefully this will help me get a little further!
2:46 pm

YoBaby, how are you getting along?

Minveryork

Good afternoon Everybody? How is everyone today?
2:47 pm
Layne

Sharidan, you can also "mine" the entire chat log for clues. I usually get several more words by doing that. To see it, just click on the little square icon just above the chatterbox.
2:47 pm
Haz1558

It's the superlative of the curt te5/10
2:48 pm
Haz1558

Good afternoon Minveryork - this is a fun grid today.
2:48 pm
Layne

Hello, Minveryork. Doing quite well on this quiet afternoon. And you?
2:48 pm
Minveryork

I got half of the words listless. Now I am going to the list and the chat log for clues. It's a hard grid today.

2:49 pm

Congratulations!

I've found it easier than the ones for the past three days or so, because it seems there are more "real" words. Good luck to you!

YoBaby

Don't even think about it, Layne. Cuz you know that the minute i have only six to go, Alex is going to wake up and demand my attention!
2:54 pm
Layne

Well, shoot. You should have the pleasure of cluing someone, on the first day you finish. Cluing is fun, and an art in itself.
2:54 pm
Minveryork

Layne,I don't know how it can be easier for you.You can only use letters on the bottom part of the grid!I do agree with you in that there are more real words.
2:55 pm

Congrats, hannah lou!!

I've clued a few times before. You finish. Then come over and help me cheat (I'll let you hold the grandbabies if you do)! ;-)

YoBaby, hannah lou is 13 years old, and she's finished!!

2:56 pm
Haz1558

hannah lou is a bit of a phenomenon - she's incredibly fast at solving these.
2:56 pm
Minveryork

Latne,you're right.Cluing is an art in itself. I haven't developed that talent yet.But I hope to soon though.
2:57 pm
Layne

Minver, I thought cluing would be easy until I tried to do it! I really messed up a few times -- giving too little info, giving too much, using other grid words in my clues, etc.
2:57 pm
YoBaby

Hannah Lou, you're an inspiration!
2:57 pm
Haz1558

Giving clues is part of the fun of babble.
2:57 pm
Sharidan

I need help on the last de 4/5
2:58 pm
Haz1558

The last de4/5 sounds like how you would start a letter and uses the letters of the Bambi word
2:58 pm
Layne

LOL, Haz!
2:58 pm
Minveryork

I love cluing, unfortunately, I am not fast enough.By the time I get my clue in, others have already given much better clues! I am glad there are so many good cluers because it helps me out a lot with the puzzle!
2:58 pm
Layne

You're good, Haz. I was sitting here thinking how to do it.
3:00 pm
Haz1558

I enjoy working out the clues but it can be hard to know how easy or difficult to make them. I love it when people get them!
3:01 pm
Minveryork

So speaking of clues, can I have a clue for sc 7/36?
3:01 pm
Minveryork

Never mind, I just got the sc 7/36 word. It'a real one
3:01 pm
Haz1558

sc7/36 is the past tense of sc5/12 - to pour derision on something..... but you've got it.
3:02 pm
hetty

Just found an error inLickety's list--the second "es" should be 6 letters, not 5--should I tell him or does it not matter?
3:03 pm

ops--foirget it. My page was skewed and there IS an es 5-sorry
3:03 pm
Minveryork

Does anyone have a clue for the co 6/24 word please
3:03 pm
Haz1558

I hadn't noticed that - es6/21, es7/32, es5/12
3:03 pm
Minveryork

I already have the co 6/24 that you eat on the cob.
3:03 pm
Sharidan

Actually I already have the de 4/5 you gave me the clue to. I still need one though. How do you know what order they are in when there are a number of de 4/5? I am looking at lickety, but that doesn't necessarily tell what order they are in. Unless I'm using it wrong.
3:04 pm
Minveryork

I think Lickety's list goes in alphabetical order,right?
3:05 pm
Haz1558

co6/24 is the plural of co5/14 - add french for dry if you know it, or the first three letters of a part/segment. Pluralise it for co6/24
3:05 pm
pam

sheridan--don't know how to use the list, but do you have the d 4/5 that sounds like a college adiministrator?
3:05 pm
Haz1558

If you say the last de4/5 that places it on the list.
3:05 pm
Sharidan

I got that one too
3:06 pm
Sharidan

let me look at lickety again to see what I'm missing
3:06 pm

and the pesticide?
3:06 pm
Minveryork

There are 2 co 5/14 words & I don't have either one.
3:07 pm
pam

haz gave you the clue for one, Minver, the other is past tense of an apple co**
3:07 pm
Haz1558

co5/14 - indicating that there is a co4/5 in an apple. I have clued the other one.
3:08 pm
Minveryork

The d word that sounds like an administrator doesn't work. It said that it was not found in the dictionary.

5:48 pm
Minveryork

the birds is def one of my favorites -- most campy I'd say
5:54 pm
hetty

5:57 pm
nrkii

funny thing about vertigo, I remember my dad telling me about this amazing scene where Jimmy Stewart pulls Kim Novak out of the water by grabbing her under her double-d's, and I've never watched the movie the same way since...
5:57 pm
nrkii

min, not so!
5:58 pm

Ping

5:58 pm
Cathyar

sorry...i'm clueless at pickin up on some of the clues. lol
5:58 pm
nrkii

I read the clue exactly the way you meant it. Different people read clues different ways, and what works for some doesnt work for others.
5:58 pm
Minveryork

I know that it is a tr 4/4, but what is that classified?
5:58 pm
Ping

interesting - i've seen vertigo many times and that scene is not one that stays with me at all
5:59 pm
ElfWord

Did you know that tr 4/4 can be past-tensed?
5:59 pm
Cathyar

i think ...not being an agriculrate, but i think they are classified as tr4/4's
5:59 pm
hetty

Please, nrk, what on earth are double d's?A babble term?
5:59 pm
nrkii

Dear Warren, How are you? I am fine. I have been a very good girl this year. I understand that you are having a problem with excess money (thanks for that Vicuna). That can be a troubling problem. I would like to offer my help. Please send me 3 million dollars -- I mean 30 million dollars -- via cashiers check. I promise to make good use of your money. You could not find a more deserving or grateful girl to give your money to in the whole wide world. Thank you, and happy giving. NRK

7:02 pm
Cat9x

we use ***** to blank out letters that are for the clued word, so people can get them on their own...like someone wants ap5/15 lets say, we say like Johny Ap***seed
7:03 pm

7:40 pm

sc 6 24 = s + belief
7:41 pm

Hi all -- yes, stid and hetty, lovely warm day here at last. I had a refreshing swim in the sea -- first time this year but not the last!
11:02 pm
flosey

well, hot cup of tea works, so why not hot tub
11:03 pm
jillibus

hi flosey
11:03 pm
flosey

hi jilli
11:03 pm
stidmama

hello again flosey, hi Jill! enjoy your dip, hetty!
11:03 pm
flosey

very proud of my 70 words today - still much to learn about these words
11:04 pm
jillibus

Good for you, flosey -- keep at it!
11:04 pm
stidmama

good for you, flosey! do you want any help to get more?
11:04 pm
flosey

how can one stop now !!!
11:05 pm
flosey

thanks stid, don't really know where to begin
11:05 pm
stidmama

that's the spirit, flosey! LOL are you using one of the lists to help you find the words?
11:06 pm
jillibus

You have almost an hour left, flosey - stid's a great helper and I'll try too -- finished before lunch today
11:06 pm
debbinla

you're doing great with 70 !
11:06 pm
flosey

have tried lickety
11:06 pm
flosey

amazing jilli
11:06 pm
flosey

really need to learn more in order to know what to ask
11:07 pm
jillibus

I use everything available and the AtoZ lists on lickety's page are a BIG help
11:07 pm
stidmama

okay, the first thing I do with Lickety's list is see if I have all the words in any category. for example, today there were 15 CO words...
11:08 pm
flosey

ok, i have 12 of them
11:08 pm
flosey

will check it out
11:08 pm
stidmama

I discovered that if I enter the words into the "add word" box at the top of Lickety's page, they automatically go into the correct place in his list... which lets me know which words I still need.
11:08 pm
debbinla

i try to do 1/2 or more without licketys list - then i plug them all in (which lickety has made very easy) and then theres tons more you can just figure out
11:09 pm
esquian

I need a clue for my last word coming off the third t in the middle column. I have the following already - tr4/4 (both),tr5/12 (both),tr5/10,tr6/18. Any clues would be much appreciated!
11:09 pm
flosey

great thanks for the suggestions
11:09 pm

11:11 pm
jillibus

Isn't this great, flosey? See you at bridge
11:11 pm
stidmama

esquian, I am trying to figure out which words you might be missing....
11:12 pm
esquian

It's only one. I have 6 of the 7 and I'm assuming it starts with tr...
11:12 pm
stidmama

there are three tr 4/4 off that letter, esquian.
11:13 pm
stidmama

I think you are missing the intersection of the other two tr 4/4...
11:13 pm
stidmama

It looks like the gait of a horse only with a different vowel.
11:13 pm
esquian

THANK YOU, STIDMAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got it!
11:14 pm

11:14 pm

11:14 pm
stidmama

next puzzling query?
11:15 pm
stidmama

Jill -- did you have a nice, quiet day since you didn't have to be at the gallery? I realized, with the age of some of the photos on your son's site that he must be around my parents' ages...
11:15 pm
esquian

I could use a hint for a word coming off the n at the top of the second column from the right... I assume it's an ne word. I have one, but don't have the other.
11:16 pm
stidmama

brb bedtime kisses needed...
11:17 pm
stidmama

okay, there is a redunant ne word (repetitious?) ne 4/4
11:17 pm
jillibus

Thanks, stid, I did. My little boy is now an unbelieveable 57, but he doesn't look it. It was all so hectic I didn't ake any pix of the gang but may email you one form a coupe of years ago at Christmas
11:18 pm
stidmama

it is NOT a palindrome, I musta tryed that for a gazillion times before I figured it out!
11:18 pm
esquian

pardon my lack of grammar knowledge....what's a palindrome again?
11:18 pm
stidmama

My cousin who is visiting with his mother is 57! he's actually my mother's first cousin.
11:18 pm
stidmama

palindrome reads the same backwards and forwards
11:19 pm
jillibus

I sae earlier that the ne4?4 is a Hawaiian goose
11:19 pm
stidmama

I can hardly believe any of us are "getting on" in so many years... seems since my birthday I notice stuff like that!
11:20 pm
esquian

11:20 pm
stidmama

oh, that's right, Jill -- it's been in the grid several times since I started, but I never remember what it means.
11:20 pm
jillibus

My typing isn't getting any better, moan!

jillibus

Wow, Cath! that was superfast!
11:25 pm
kierlex

11:26 pm

after the horn is the plural of the second co 4/5, then drop the fourth letter and end with the second vowel for another 5/12, then plural that for another 6/21
11:26 pm
stidmama

11:27 pm
jillibus

cheeto, I think you need to go pro to get the FIREWORKS you deserve!
11:27 pm
stidmama

then comes a 5/14 that is a math term: co +abbreviation for small unit of time (1/60 of a minute), then plural for the next 6/24
11:27 pm
ElfWord

Aha, 97! Trumpet-like horn indeed. And thanks, stidmama.
11:28 pm
jillibus

Cath - where in Canada are you?
11:28 pm
cheeto44

11:28 pm
stidmama

the last two co 5/12 are the plural of the flower so common in June only start with a C; and then plural the "price" word for the last CO 5/12
11:28 pm
stidmama

cheeto44 -- we used to give finishers our own.

11:30 pm
jillibus

kier - sore spots on your toes for the first co5/12 I think
11:30 pm
stidmama

11:30 pm
kierlex

11:34 pm
stidmama

11:34 pm
hetty

Stid, to cosset is to indulge with fussy parental or marital care--to spoil, over-nurture
11:34 pm
stidmama

my last word as the or 4/5 that is the non-human badguys in Lord of the Rings...
11:35 pm
hetty

Cooler, yes. Cool, no
11:35 pm
jillibus

11:37 pm
hetty

it seems to me ,Stid ,you were grateful for the cosseting you got from Tom yesterday. You seem fine again today, I'm glad to note.
11:37 pm
stidmama

11:40 pm

11:40 pm
stidmama

kierlex, if you ever come to this side of our mountains, I will be happy to cosset you as much as you can stand. you too, Cathy -- I have single-mommy friends and admire them so much.
11:40 pm
