Hey guys - just to ask again (I'm new)...is there a little behind the scenes page about Babble? I'd love to learn how it gets made, Lickety's role etc...thanks!

12:35 am

stidmama

no idea, Gadget, check the "help" section? It might have some info. Lickety is "just" a really great guy who wrote an algorithm for finding words using the Enable dictionary.

12:36 am

Colhad

hi folks

12:36 am

Ornith

not me ARB! I only have the said-again re8, clue for the other?

12:38 am

mymuseisme

re + one of the senses past tense

12:38 am

Ankhorite

Gadget, the Enable dictionary is weird, has many foreign words, persian currency, e.g., but not a word like taser.

12:38 am

stidmama

go Colhad go!

12:39 am

Ornith

also often has (word), (word)er, re(word), but not re(word)er. *glares at dictionary*

12:40 am

Ornith

thanks muse, btw

12:40 am

cybernan

12:42 am

Ornith

12:42 am

TeaNCrackers

thanks for asking ankh

12:43 am

Ornith

12:43 am

ARB

Sorry guys, got disconnected and it took a while to reload this big grid. I was trying to be subtle with the ipod clue!

12:43 am

Ankhorite

12:43 am

TeaNCrackers

12:43 am

Ornith

12:43 am

stidmama

12:43 am

Gadget

where is the enable dictionary?

12:43 am

Ankhorite

Too subtle, ARB, we're stuck on the second half of the compound word.

12:43 am

Ankhorite

12:45 am

Ornith

wow nan!

12:46 am

TeaNCrackers

crickey, you two!

12:46 am

Ankhorite

Gadget wants to know more about the Enable dictionary, and I don't know a thing about it except I don't like it.

12:46 am

Ornith

I'm at 150

12:46 am

Ankhorite

*felt bad the first time she heard Steve Irwin's voice unexpectedly, after.*

12:46 am

Ankhorite

12:46 am

debbinla

I'm already stuck. I can't find the al 4,7. I can't et that many points. I have all of the other al 4,4

8:01 am

kthdsn

merk think beer + a big scoring letter

8:02 am

Merk

I'm blind here. I start with the a in the top row, right? I can't figure out how to get to the high scorers in four letters.

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

make a u-turn merk

8:03 am

Merk

Oh, I didn't see the corner letter, duh! Thanks.

8:03 am

Anniebrook

merk, first letter of the hebrew alphabet or beer and turn left

8:03 am

Uneaixoise

yw :-)

8:06 am

Merk

I think I need to drink my morning coffee before I start this. And the long grids always intimidate me for some reason. I can zip through the short ones in no time. Anyone else have that problem?

8:06 am

EvaNadine

can someone please explain to me why i decided to wear a skirt today??
*shivers*

8:06 am

Anniebrook

when the grid is this long I dont print out the list, can anyone tell me how to drag the list near the grid. Yes Merk, I have that problem also

8:07 am

Frances

Feeling girlie?

8:07 am

Scrabbler

Yes, merk, I look at the big grids and assume I won't finish, unless it is the weekend and i have more time, and my coffee is READY---------> I need coffee now!

8:07 am

abe79

evanadine- have any extra leg warmers around? you need them today!

8:08 am

Anniebrook

just made fresh coffee, who wants some, going to get coffeeeeee

8:08 am

kthdsn

annie try tiling the windows, right click the start bar and choose tile

8:08 am

abe79

Merk- big grids are a bit intimidated, esp. before caffeine consumption

8:08 am

abe79

*intimidating

8:08 am

EvaNadine

i need pants!

8:08 am

Anniebrook

kth, will try that but first coffee, thanks!!!!

8:09 am

Anniebrook

*sending leg warmers to evan*

8:09 am

Scrabbler

For goodness sake, eva, get some clothes on.

8:10 am

kthdsn

evan I was a bit worried/scared then, pants over here means underwear, took a while to sink in that you meant trousers

8:10 am

EvaNadine

see, i was thinking like this: im gonna see the BF later, and i havent worn a skirt in a really long time, so maybe ill wear a skirt for him today...
and now my comfort is paying the price!

8:10 am

EvaNadine

hah, yes, i do forget that difference in interpretation there kth ;)

8:11 am

Merk

BF?

8:11 am

abe79

kthdsn- that's good to know! lol

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Kate, one of the radio stations here has "No Underwear Wednesdays"--"going commando" is another name.

8:13 am

kthdsn

wow scrabbler, really? I think us brits must be a little more prudish

8:14 am

Haz1558

We've got standards. And cold winds.....

8:15 am

Scrabbler

It is a raunchy radio station. Most of us have mothers that told us as kids, "Make sure you where clean, nice underwear in case you are in an accident and go to the hospital." I still think like that.

8:15 am

EvaNadine

heh, my brother listens to a station that tries to get people to participate in Whip 'em Out Wednesdays...

8:15 am

kthdsn

lol surely if you've been taken to hospital the state of your underwear is the least of your troubles

8:17 am

Haz1558

It's a Pollyanna thing. You can be lying on the troller, in agony, thinking 'Let's be glad my underwear was fresh on this morning.'

8:17 am

mrpresident

if you are in an accident and go to hospital, your underwear is pretty much cut off you!! wear your worst!

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Like the Boy Scouts say, Be prepared.

8:18 am

Hi MrP

hello everyone!

8:19 am

Anniebrook

Hi Haz and mrpresident

8:19 am

Scrabbler

One of my friends was on a trip, flying, and did not wear a bra (she really never needs to anyway) and got sick at the airport, went to the hospital, and was mortified that the staff saw her without a bra on. But she is a Pollyanna. Actually our name for her is Prudence.

8:19 am

mrpresident

Hi annie!

8:20 am

Scrabbler

Hi mrp.

8:20 am

Haz1558

Good grief, I've just noticed the time. I have to go for a hairdresser's appointment. See you all later.

Scrabbler

wurdygurl

i am down to 123 and i am struggling

8:27 am

wurdygurl

8:27 am

Scrabbler

Scrabbler

Brainwaves traveling through time and space---cool.

I see what sprite meant when she said past tense everything...

11:03 am

Merk

I didn't catch that clue, Haz. I do have all of the a thru e words finished now though. I thought I could look ahead at your lo clue, but I'm lo**.
