You might find this in a deli in Lebanon, if it's still standing...

2:41 am

MayneGuy

Hi Haz - grid is not too bad - some strange and lovely words, tho

2:41 am

lynxxx

it is a fast one - is that pleasing? - I am not so sure

2:42 am

Haz1558

Yesterday's grid had its fair share of weird words! I'm still at the stage of finding normal ones here. 'Strange but true' words will follow.

2:43 am

FMitch

Good morning Haz
Good grid today but a bit short, mind you if pushed for time that might not be a bad thing.

2:43 am

Haz1558

Good morning FMItch - I've flushed you out! Yes, a short grid will be quite welcome today.

2:43 am

Well - if no one needs clues, think I will hop in the shower - aabout to slide right off this chair

2:44 am

FMitch

I've been babbling away quietly Haz :)

2:48 am

Haz1558

Fmitch - did you see a picture in the paper yesterday of a humming bird hawk moth? We had seen one weeks ago feeding on my plants - it looks like a cross between an overgrown moth in the body, with an extraordinary humming bird wing action. Apparently they are from North Africa, but global warming has brought them our way.

LOL seano - very definately.

2:57 am

MVA

sounds like it to me!

2:57 am

Haz1558

That sounds pretty normal for the addicted. Few of us face babble first thing fully clothed - some of us aren't even in our right minds....

2:58 am

seano216k

how did it get so bad so quickly..........

2:59 am

MVA

some of us babble before we've had a cup of tea!

2:59 am

Haz1558

You must have an addictive personality.... Some people come on here, can't see what the whole thing is about, abuse us roundly for being mad, then disappear. Others just stay.

3:00 am

seano216k

the chat is an integral part of it it. I have been playing for ten mins and have three words!

Usually people who have been playing every day for a few months , and who can devote an hour or so, will get all the words - this can be as little as 60 or up to 350.

3:15 am

tazpink

so far i have found 65 words it is tough but very fun

3:15 am

sbaba

Hello? Did anyone else's score ever not appear at the end of the day?

3:16 am

sbaba - it may be a timing thing. have you checked the rankings again?

3:17 am

sbaba I think you have to be playing for a while before you get onto the rankings.

3:18 am

sbaba

I was ranked for my first game on 7/21. But when I check the archives, I'm not there. And my count was over 1700. But thanks for answering....

3:19 am

FMitch

taz 65 words is great! You might want to have a look at Angelsongs resource page under friends of babble at the bottom of the page - lots of how to's and hints, plus links to the 2nd letter lists for when you get really stuck.

4:51 am

Flask1

Actually Matty.....when am in the shower I hate too much water on my face....start panicking.....

4:51 am

Flask1

and won't have my hair washed with my head forward either!!

4:52 am

mattygroves

Really? That must be quite a pain (really). For me, heights is my crippling fear.

4:52 am

Flask1

thanks for that Beast!

4:53 am

Flask1

It is actually......I love to go Spain.....and I sit and look at them all cooling off in the pool with such envy....

4:54 am

mattygroves

It seems that any time I look up a word, when it has a definition in dictionary.com, it's a tree or shrub or product derived from one. Odd!
Flask - I'd love to be able to ride horses, but I get frozen in terror when it starts moving. Ditto theme parks - I just cannot get on any high ride.

4:54 am

Karys

back again....my charge decided it was time for elevnses !

4:55 am

Karys

Beast...sorry about that,,,try an4/4 plus what we breathe

4:56 am

Beast

thanks karys, i understand having to leave quickly and look after others

4:57 am

Flask1

Now Matty, am the same with horses.......when I was younger I was put on a horse....but it took FOUR people to keep me on it....because every time the horse lifted a leg....I was pushed in a different direction.......it was horrible....and again I was terrified!!

4:57 am

Karys

got it now.....it's the ap*** way...a mountain range I think

4:57 am

mattygroves

Thanks Karys!

4:58 am

Flask1

4:58 am

mattygroves

It is something to do with bees, I think.

5:01 am

Flask1

Surely CHEES has to be the phantom word!!

5:01 am

Flask1

Ooop!....I meant CHEESE.....lol

5:02 am

Beast

ar 6 anyone?

5:03 am

mattygroves

To quote TheFiz from ealier "looks like "got up" or "woke up" but with an extra vowel after the R"

5:03 am

5:45 am

Eva

any clues for the an8 which is not about violation?

5:46 am

mattygroves

Beast - rather than asking for every word, you might find these two websites helpful: http://www.jumble.org/jumble.shtml and http://www.onelook.com/reverse-diction
ary.shtml

5:47 am

mattygroves

Eva it uses the same four first letters - and an anagram of the ra4 - wet stuff that comes from the sky

5:47 am

Eva

thanks matty!

5:48 am

herinfernallady

5:48 am

Jencatd

any clues for wi5/18 please?

5:49 am

Beast

matty, sorry for asking too much, sometimes the people on here are happy to help, and sometimes they are not

5:49 am

mattygroves

No worries Beast - I just find those two website really helpful - one is a crossword solver, and the other a reverse dictionary.

5:49 am

Beast

btw I am on 86 words

5:50 am

MVA

i swear by reverse dictionary, really helpful

5:50 am

Flask1

Have you missed me???...lol....am back!

5:50 am

mattygroves

Me too - did you know you can specify the first letter or letters as well?

5:50 am

Flask1

Hi MVA

5:51 am

mattygroves

Hi Flask!

5:51 am

MVA

hi flask

5:51 am

Beast

sorry, wasnt sure if you were trying to help or complaining

5:51 am

Jencatd

Thanks for the jumble site, Matty. ^^ It's very useful.

5:52 am

mattygroves

Tis, isn't it. I don't like using it too much, cuz it kinda feels like cheating, but when you're stuck, and monkey typing just doesn't seem to yield results, it's brilliant.

5:52 am

Kateq

Done! Happy Sunday, Everyone!

5:53 am

mattygroves

Congrats Kate!

5:53 am

Flask1

well done Kat!!

5:53 am

MVA

i didn't know that matty, i'll remember that

5:53 am

MVA

congrats kateq!!

5:53 am

addytewd

okay, am i not thinking clearing because i just woke up? lol How is it possible to have a wr4/8 word? the w is 5 points which leaves only 2 points for 3 more letters.

5:53 am

mattygroves

Form the query thus: ta*: definition - so the first howver many letters you have, then a star, then a colon, then the definition.

5:54 am

TheLegend

yay...finito

5:55 am

mattygroves

Congrats Leg!

5:55 am

Atalante

addy, 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8 :)

5:55 am

mattygroves

Hi Ata!

5:55 am

MVA

woohoo the legend

5:56 am

addytewd

true, atalante, but don't forget that the 4 letter word gets a point just for being 4 letters. that only leaves 7 points for the value of each tile. since W is 5, that leaves only 2 points. am i wrong?

5:56 am

Atalante

hi matty :) hi everyone else :)

5:56 am

Flask1

well done Leg!

5:56 am

TheLegend

hi matty

5:56 am

Atalante

no, it doesn't, addy

5:57 am

TheLegend

hi mva

5:57 am

mattygroves

Sorry, addy - you're wrong - the only points you get are from the letters - you don't get a point for the word itself.

5:57 am

ExWren

addy. you aren't awake yet. w=5+3x1-8

5:57 am

mattygroves

So you get 5 points for the W and 1 point each for the other common letters - making 8.

5:58 am

addytewd

okay, now i'm totally confused. i thought each word got points based solely on length before adding the value of each tile. lol

5:58 am

mattygroves

The 1 for a four letter word is a multiplyer, not an adder (as it were)

5:58 am

addytewd

oh DUH!

5:58 am

mattygroves

You muliply x 1 for a four point, x 2 for a five and so on.

5:58 am

addytewd

i KNEW it was cuz i was still half asleep! thanks, guys LOL you're right, of course.

5:59 am

mattygroves

No worries, addy :D

5:59 am

addytewd

maybe i'll skip coffee, and go right back to bed lol

6:00 am

mattygroves

Will I need a fish - is the ta5/18 really obvious?

6:00 am

ExWren

addy, click on the help button at the top of the page, and all will be revealed

6:02 am

addytewd

well, umm, wren? i had already done that. LOL as you can see, i completely ignored the "multiplier statement". I appreciate everyone's help :)

6:02 am

MVA

like to5/18, matty, just change second letter

6:04 am

mattygroves

Heh - MVA - I'll try that...when I get the to 5/18

6:04 am

Atalante

lol addy, we all do it. especially when half asleep still :P

6:04 am

Jencatd
