douglas - it's in the "no boxes" version complete with af's

1:02 am

Douglas

nm, I was looking at yesterday's clues

1:02 am

tazpink

sprite take your oars and ... down stream

1:02 am

mouldy

maybe a few standardised clues for the most popular words angel??

1:03 am

jillibus

I loke the various ways clues are given

1:03 am

Angelsong

not possible, I don't think, mouldy

1:03 am

sprite

Angel, please please include the suggestion that spelling out words is NOT nice clueing?
(Nor entering the chatroom with giving a word away like I did...)

1:03 am

jillibus

*like

1:03 am

Angelsong

exactly, sprite.

1:04 am

Frances

I like the fact that three people can give very different clues for the same word and they all make sense.

1:04 am

Krys10

also, i don't know if i'm the only one, but i really prefer clues that are based on definitions so i can learn the words better... usually i ask for definitions clues

1:04 am

Krys10

yeah, it's interesting we all have our own style

1:04 am

mouldy

and always put the stats in the clue, so we know which word is being clued

1:05 am

Krys10

the rebus-style clue is a trend that started sometime in the last year or so

1:05 am

Krys10

good one, mouldy

1:05 am

Angelsong

just as in many things pertaining to Babble, there are many approaches...some better than others.

1:05 am

Douglas

Monkeys refuse to find ak4, protest for plantains

1:05 am

mouldy

good points fran and krys

1:05 am

sprite

I like all kinds of clues, defs or cryptic ones or clues that cut up the word in pieces. I also like the variety of clues. I just don't like the "snake, first vowel, cross, second vowel" kinda clues.

1:05 am

Krys10

concur

1:06 am

Krys10

douglas - well, then, give them plantains! with honey...

1:06 am

tazpink

sprite i do not even mind that style of clue

1:06 am

Angelsong

ditto, sprite...I hate "snake letter" clues!

1:06 am

Frances

I agree sprite

1:07 am

Karen

I like them when I'm totally stuck.

1:07 am

ruthy

can anyone please give me a clue for the sa 6/33

1:07 am

sprite

I always think: well, if that is clueing, just say S A T E and be done with it.

1:07 am

Angelsong

there's a Hawaiian word in the grid...

1:07 am

Krys10

or post a link to dictionary.com or something

1:07 am

Krys10

wait a minute

1:07 am

mouldy

yeah but those clues - well ya might as well just go search through the word lists

1:08 am

Angelakk

lol, I agree sprite. I've thought that many a time. It's one reason I don't chat a lot.

1:08 am

Frances

ruthy - no S

1:08 am

Krys10

never mind, that would show the word

1:08 am

sprite

My K-tile is very Startrek atm. Seven of Eleven.

1:08 am

Krys10

1:08 am

Krys10

^poem

1:08 am

mouldy

phew thanks fran - thought i had the wrong grid somehow for a second

1:08 am

Angelsong

Sprite, did you find the Hawaiian K?

1:09 am

sprite

To show how totally babbled I am: yes, I have the K5/18 that looks very Hawaiian.

Douglas

Congratulations, ruthy! How does one say that in Welsh?

1:11 am

tazpink

i am a legend in my own mind

1:11 am

mouldy

only if that would be 1:09 24 hours after the grid opened :P

1:12 am

Krys10

sprite, there's a K6 that means a Hawaiian healer, but these days it's usually used to refer to a big shot

1:12 am

Krys10

I don't have your K5 though

1:12 am

Krys10

still looking no clues yet please

1:12 am

tazpink

sprtie might you have a clue for k6 the Japanese one

1:13 am

sprite

Angel, one more suggestion: that people asking for clues take a little time to consider them after getting them... and not say like 20 seconds later: "I don't get it, other clue please"
I hate that :)

1:13 am

sprite

Yeah, that was the Startrek reference I meant, Douglas.

1:18 am

tazpink

I wondered that too, wurdy

6:43 am

Dachef

double f?

6:43 am

Wolvie

hi wurdy

6:44 am

Haz1558

It's not that it isn't a word, but it would probably properly be capitalised, and therefore not accepted by enable.

6:44 am

wurdygurl

but its a hairstyle

6:44 am

wurdygurl

hi wolvie!

6:45 am

Uneaixoise

phantom: kaput

6:45 am

Haz1558

But it's a hairstyle relating to Africa, therefore capitalised. It's capitalised in my dictionary.

6:45 am

Wolvie

keep that afr going - no o- for the afr 6. :-)

6:45 am

wurdygurl

6:58 am

chiley

Wolvie, I'm having trouble with your icon clue. The ae I have refers to flight

6:58 am

Wolvie

somehow I knew that was the one you meant, kth. :-)

6:58 am

Haz1558

I know - but it's a short enough grid for it not to be too much of a bind.

6:58 am

FMitch

LOL Hi Dachef I think kth is referring to the f4/7 that follows that one.

6:58 am

Wolvie

it's the ro 4 - what the tiger is doing - pretty lame for me this morning. :-)

6:59 am

chiley

OH..your clue says ae4/4

6:59 am

Good question Haz :)

7:03 am

Dachef

7:04 am

Haz1558

I was thinking of changing my icon to one of Peter Stringfellow to illustrate ro4/5 but I don't know if he would be known across the Atlantic, and should I be responsible for letting them know that he exists?

7:04 am

7:10 am

FMitch

That is too nice a pic, he almost looks wholesome.

7:10 am

Wolvie

use a 5 pt letter flosey, and drop the last vowel

7:11 am

Haz1558

So you want a worse picture then?

7:11 am

Wolvie

sure - why not?

7:11 am

FMitch

A little more sleeze and that awful hair style :)

7:12 am

Haz1558

Okay - FMitch, have the bucket ready.....

7:22 am

Wolvie

7:23 am

Wolvie

I'm quite glad google images is blocked at work, otherwise I might be tempted to take a peek

7:24 am

Wolvie

the gold finger-ish one is funny!

7:24 am

Haz1558

He's a night-club owner, something of a ra4/8, and a bit of a joke figure in Britain.

7:25 am

Haz1558

Scroll on, Wolvie, and you'll find the back view of the infamous thong.

7:25 am

FMitch

He even has an entry in wikipedia can you believe.

7:25 am

Haz1558

Never! I must have a look.....

7:26 am

Wolvie

LOL - just saw the thong one - definitely NOT buns of steel

7:28 am

Haz1558

The wilkipedia entry manages to sound quite disapproving.

7:28 am

Wolvie

Wolvie

I just can't see that fo 6/30 - any clues?

7:52 am

Ragalla

7:53 am

jimmack

fa5,18 sounds like a unit of capacitance.

7:53 am

Wolvie

like fa**** fawcett, only 1 r, then sort of past tense it

7:53 am

kthdsn

I have an fa5/18, it's the beggining of some physicist I vaguely remember from school...

7:56 am

Ragalla

7:57 am

Wolvie

thanks for that clue ch

7:57 am

ch1212

And, interestingly enough, it's a loincloth worn by Hindu men... which makes me wonder, is that where the expression about the baby doing a " " in his diapers comes from? :D

7:57 am

AprilD

ribbit? there are no ribbits in this puzzle, that is the sound a frog makes

7:57 am

Wolvie

8:05 am

AprilD

SamanthaJoy

The UP 6 is just a crazy word. UP + letter to the upper right diagonal + fish eggs

8:13 am

AprilD

ka 6/36?

8:13 am

kthdsn

hi samantha thanks for the clue

8:13 am

Wolvie

8:13 am

kthdsn

april, martial art

8:13 am

kthdsn

oh nm that's a 6/30

8:14 am

SamanthaJoy

Good morning Kate, and wolvie. Yeah, that word is just barely English--I haven't looked it up because I don't *want* to know what it means

8:14 am

Wolvie

LOL

8:16 am

Wolvie

april, I don't have the ka 6/36 yet

8:16 am

AprilD

those darn K's

8:16 am

FionaMay

kh5 sounds like the bag golfers carry clubs round in!

8:17 am

Sam

the grid would be 0k without them

8:19 am

SamanthaJoy

The ka 6/36 is a Hawaiian word. You may not know what it means, but you've probably heard the English expression which uses it--"The Big Ka****", which means the head honcho or the person incharge

8:19 am

abe79

Hi everyone. Great clue SamanthaJoy

8:20 am

SamanthaJoy

Thanks. Now let's see to how many people it's actually useful! LOL

8:20 am

Wolvie

8:22 am

AprilD

wasn't I looking for a KH? oh I don't remember

8:22 am

AprilD

nope, that was the one!

8:23 am

SamanthaJoy

The kh 5 is another weird one--KH + anagram of a word meaning "help"

8:23 am

AprilD

apparently I got all of those, now just for one ka 5

8:23 am

SamanthaJoy

Think diamond ring, April

8:23 am

AprilD

not jeweled

8:24 am

SamanthaJoy

How many ka***s is a typical wedding ring?

8:25 am

AprilD

I have that one

8:25 am

AprilD

unless it is a variation of it

8:25 am

SamanthaJoy

Diamond? I'm an idiot. This word is applied to gold. There's a spelling difference. :(

8:27 am

Wolvie

Wolvie

I will definitely have to find ha** to fix for supper tonite!!

8:30 am

AprilD

8:30 am

SamanthaJoy

Dodge actually made a minivan called the "Ka****"

8:30 am

SamanthaJoy

Last time I updated my icon it was with the Volkswagen Thing, so technically I have a trend going.

8:30 am

AprilD

there are no v's here

8:30 am

abe79

8:34 am

Wolvie

8:34 am

AprilD

8:34 am

Wolvie

the other ka 6 is a sport with kicking

8:35 am

SamanthaJoy

The *other* one is a martial art

8:35 am

Wolvie

8:35 am

AprilD

raelite

the prize is an instant win and is $100 000

9:31 am

raelite

all I have to do is get through on the phone to win...but I can't decide what the sound is

9:32 am

Anniebrook

the sound of someone pu**ing should be an instant winner

9:32 am

AprilD

yikes

9:32 am

raelite

no, it's a real thing...it sounds metallic. you can check it out on www.zedfx.ca

9:34 am

I think I need some tea

9:34 am

Haz1558

There are three ph words.

Haz1558

9:54 am

ConXshun

one ph word is the opposite of thin!

9:54 am

kthdsn

9:55 am

ConXshun

9:55 am

Haz1558

It looks as if I am going to need a clue for the ta 6,33. Plez.

9:56 am

hurshy

haz - the pu's i have are 4 and 6....both real words... is the other weird or normal?

9:56 am

Haz1558

ar4/8 - sounds vaguely like a country (but is spelt entirely differently) - look at the points value.

9:56 am

Haz1558

The other one is strange to me, hurshy, although it has a cat like structure, so should appeal to you.

9:57 am

Merk

Do you have a clue for the ta 6,33?

9:57 am

bethany1

good clue haz for ar4/8

9:58 am

Haz1558

ta6 - three letters for the result of sunbathing, two letters being the initials of the countries of England, Scotland, Wales and N Ireland, finish with a vowel.

9:58 am

leep

10:03 am

ConXshun

wild cat ar change consonant... ?? my mind babbles!

10:03 am

harpjane

bouchart garden?

10:04 am

Haz1558

Okay - try pu4/6 - the first three letters a play on words, then a vowel. It has the first three letters of the pu6 if that is any help.

10:04 am

raelite

april - I live about 5 miles from Butchart

10:04 am

AprilD

nooo, too commercial Jane

10:04 am

AprilD

I can't remember the name of it now though.

10:04 am

AprilD

That isn't on the island though is it raelite?

10:04 am

raelite

yes, it is on Vancouver Island...my home :)

10:05 am

AprilD

hmmm didn't go to it on my garden tour, we stuck to smaller less touristy ones.

10:06 am

AprilD

(I am a member of our local Arboretum unit, we tour around once a year)

10:06 am

raelite

did you go to the abkhazi garden?

10:06 am

AprilD

I think we did raelite

10:06 am

raelite

yes, it is very popular, but because it does not have tour bus parking, not everyone gets to see it

10:06 am

AprilD

though, I can't remember. I know that sounds familiar, but all gardens do, I read alot about them.

10:07 am

raelite

there are also the gardens at Hatley Castle and the Kiwanis park

10:07 am

AprilD

the one in my pictue was really a display garden for their art, they had a shop where they sold their paintings

10:08 am

AprilD

we went to the school site where there are like 200 acres

10:08 am

AprilD

that was probably the castle, cuz it was a castle!

10:08 am

raelite

yes, hatley castle, you may know it better as the x-mansion in the latest x-men movies

10:09 am

raelite

I even saw Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman when they were filming the first movie here

10:09 am

lizmac

Any clues for the ak4/8? need it to finish a's!

10:09 am

AprilD

nope, I never saw it before that day.

10:09 am

mattygroves

OK, new tactic. I have six of the nine 6s - af6/30 (scared), fo6/30 (rotten), ka6/36 (the Big), ka6/30 (martial art), pu6/27 (political commentator), ta6/33 (who knows what that means) - what am I missing?

10:09 am

AprilD

it was enormous!

10:09 am

Haz1558

up6/27 doesn't appear in your list...

10:10 am

Munner

You need fa 6/30

10:10 am

Haz1558

fa6/30 also needs to be included

10:10 am

mattygroves

Care to clue, Haz?

10:11 am

Haz1558

ao6/18 deserves a place.

10:11 am

Munner

fa 6/30 is Latin plural

10:11 am

mattygroves

Got the AO now, Haz, thanks...

10:11 am

Haz1558

up6/27 - up plus a reworking of the one who weeds. It is a very strangely structured word!

10:12 am

mattygroves

One who weeds?

10:12 am

ConXshun

haz - am I really stupid or what? how do you fit the wild cat in with the ar?

10:12 am

mattygroves

Got the fa6/30 now

10:12 am

Haz1558

Yes, or an equine minus the s.

10:13 am

mattygroves

Still need the up6/27...

10:13 am

ConXshun

up + fish eggs with h in the middle

10:13 am

Haz1558

You're confusing two clues, ConXshun. ar5/12 features the headgear, pu4/6 is the word that resembles the wild cat, except for one consonant.

10:14 am

Munner

thanks Con, crazy word!

10:14 am

ConXshun

lol!!!!

10:14 am

hurshy

what's the other U besides that 6 and the 4 babblet?

10:14 am

Haz1558

up6/30 - it ends with fish eggs....

10:15 am

Haz1558

un5/14 is the other.

10:15 am

ConXshun

Life is very busy for us at the moment -we've had to do some adjusting since my sons marriage broke up & he's come home. He was much easier to manage when he was younger!

Ta 6\33 : Ta**** (狸 or タヌキ, ) is often mistakenly translated as raccoon or badger, but ta**** s are in fact raccoon dogs (Nyctereutes procyonoides), a canid species native to Japan. Ta****s have been part of Japanese mythology since ancient times. The mythical ta**** is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absent-minded.
