3:17 am
derrr

i'm beginning to think the word 'tern' is more common than the word 'the'...
3:21 am
Huh

A very good Morning to you Cj :) Actually just wondering whether to pass today REALLY should be painting *groan* Guess my Vaio Laptop would look cool in Brillient white lol
3:24 am

3:58 am
Jesic

hmm, the best I can get is a 7 letter word so far.
3:59 am
daisy

3:59 am
GeneralVanya

4:25 am
qu0s

I found a nine letter word, but I still can't see any eight lettered ones. Hmph. More staring required, I guess...
4:37 am
Aussie Goddess

can see Sevens but no 8 yet :( *goes back to painting*
4:38 am
qu0s

I just noticed that you can make 'peottre' in this puzzle. That amused me, given that quite a few of us followed a link here from Robin Hobb's message board. :)
4:54 am
Huh

*passes paint brush* You missed some :p lol
5:07 am
Aussie Goddess

Hello Huh ;) U vanna paint my portrait ? ;)
6:26 am
skittledog

I hadn't seen Peottre. :) A few days ago I did notice Faramir in a puzzle and wondered how many other people it was annoying by being an almost-word.
8:43 am
cbullock

your birds are back
10:35 am
M&O

I have to wait until tomorrow to see my score!? Patience is a virtue.
11:50 am
CalamityJames

Don't worry, M&O. You won.
11:51 am
CalamityJames

I just woke up. So many hours of not playing, wasted in sleep. What a shame. Well, I'm picking up from where I left off. Evidently, I'm short a few long words. Thanks for the insight, Vanya.

117 words 4.76 1448
1:03 pm
Kaetchen

Things that annoy me:

"natto" not allowed. It's in my fridge, but not allowable on Babble?
1:22 pm
drscottjennings

Why on earth do you have natto in your fridge? That might be the problem to begin with.
1:23 pm
Kaetchen

I pickle veggies with it, Japanese style. Yummy!
1:49 pm
ladylikebag

so far 7 -6's and 2 -7's at 53/4.6/608 i'll be back but i gotta do work now!
1:54 pm
majenwen

Has anyone used the L?
1:58 pm
sapphie

Yup cbullock...nice to have those birds back, but only the usual suspects, nothing too exotic yet.
2:41 pm
elphaba

I wondered, when I saw someone post that they got here from Robin's message board, if it was Robin Hobb. Chalk me up as another reader, though if it's the EZboard you're talking about, I haven't posted there in ages. And under a different name.
2:49 pm
ladylikebag

what's the highest point word anybody's found?
3:24 pm
libboy

66 for me, but others may have higher.
3:25 pm
jovilamonk

so happy. got an 8.
3:25 pm
ladylikebag

geez, mines only 39. where is everyone from? i guess it may make a difference of where you're from to see the different slang and more common words
3:26 pm
cbullock

no, i think 66 is the biggie
3:31 pm
milkmaid

66?!!?!!
3:36 pm
ladylikebag

3:37 pm
milkmaid

3:38 pm
ladylikebag

haha that makes a little sense!
3:39 pm
libboy

there's more than one 8...heh.
3:41 pm
ladylikebag

ahhh! thats crazy! my highest is 3 sevens
3:50 pm
milkmaid

i have 3 sevens too, and I'm well chuffed! I don't need an 8 to feel good about myself!!

honest.
3:52 pm
jovilamonk

if it's any consolation, I may have an 8 but i have no 7s at all
3:54 pm
milkmaid

it is, cheers! :) how does this game get so addictive? look what it's done to me!! I've become obsessed with letter counts!! aaaargh
3:55 pm
milkmaid

I DO need an 8 to feel good about myself
4:09 pm
ladylikebag

milkmaid, what does chuffed mean? lol an 8 would make me feel good too
4:11 pm
milkmaid

chuffed means pleased!! LOL! I'm from the north of England if that has any bearing on it!
4:12 pm
skittledog

elphaba - tis indeed Robin Hobb. She posted this on her sff.net message board, and we all went and got addicted. Many of us are ezboarders too....what might we know you as?

*feels nosy*
4:12 pm
ladylikebag

i'm from the lousy eastern United States i think it does make a little difference! heh
4:13 pm
milkmaid

I hope you didn't think I was being rude!!
4:16 pm
ladylikebag

no of course not! im was being truthful about the US being lousy! lol! i think countries near yours use the "real" english. haha
4:21 pm
milkmaid

is it really that lousy? I'm not so sure about the quality of my english either, education didn't prepare me for babble!!!
4:25 pm
sapphie

Hey milkmaid, I'm from the north of britain too.... is this game addictive or what???
4:26 pm
milkmaid

totally, I fear I have lost myself, but it's weaned me off rizlajongg though. Do you say chuffed?
4:30 pm
skittledog

I say chuffed, and I'm british. Chuffed is such a cool word. :)
4:33 pm
ladylikebag

im gonna try to bring chuffed to the US, well at least to my little groupy of friends!
4:34 pm
milkmaid

Hooray for chuffed!! I think ladylikebag should start spreading the word chuffed around the US! it's a great word
4:36 pm
bacchae

Another northener here =D And chuffed is a great word =) Now if only I could be chuffed with my word count... *sigh*
4:40 pm
sapphie

Oh yeah I say chuffed all the time... in fact I'm well chuffed at the mo 'cos I got the 9 letter word :))!!!

sapphie

Hey Laura...some days its like that...you just cannnot see anything no matter how hard you look.
4:55 pm
milkmaid

4:58 pm
ladylikebag

i like when u think ur inventing a word so u put it in and it happens to be a real word!!!!
5:02 pm
milkmaid

that happens loads, maybe I should keep going, this could be the optimum state of mind!

5:04 pm
sapphie

I am at that stage when I am saying must reach a certain number ....and that is fatal 'cos you just cannot give up then....only 6 off the 1000. I will get there if it takes me all bloody night!!!
5:06 pm
milkmaid

we're all lost, each and every one of us, our loved ones will blame babble for their pain
5:07 pm
fultonic

Sucked in is right. I am in the same position with that rizlajongg now. AND IT'S YOUR FAULT, milkmaid.
5:08 pm
sapphie

5:37 pm
skittledog

I am well chuffed with myself on 81 words and 1063 points. I am carefully ignoring the fact that i can't find any more no matter what i do, and am pretending that I am in fact stopping there because it's time for bed. Night all!
5:37 pm
milkmaid

i can take no more, farewell
6:09 pm
CalamityJames

Don't jump, milkmaid.
6:11 pm
elphaba

skittledog: i posted a few times on the EZboard as lirael, but only a few times. it amuses me to no end that it turned up on her board - and one i didn't know existed, even. [goes off to inspect]
7:01 pm
jovilamonk

came back and found one of those durn 7s
7:26 pm
B.B.

Two things:
I am really excited to see the word "chuffed" being used in a conversation I'm exposed to...
...and I sincerely believe "panter" should be a word.
8:18 pm
liz

is there more than one Qu word?
8:33 pm
qu0s

I don't think so, I've only made one word using the Qu.
8:49 pm
Ysegrim

There are at least 149 words with 1928 pts in here ... but it's no use to participate, my last two winning entries got deleted by the staff :-(
9:05 pm
4t8

that totally rips, sorry to hear that.
i couldn't remember my log in password but when i started out as "lil" the person before mentioned how she cheated. so i thought it was okay to mention [that i hadn't cheated and said] i was amazed at the words i hadn't found...needless to say a few people tried to rip me a new one. it sucks being honest sometimes...
9:36 pm
CalamityJames

I noticed that your scores were removed, Ysegrim. I was going to actually look at your list from yesterday and try to procure a couple new words from it, because a lot of these words seem to carry over from puzzle to puzzle. When I saw that your name was taken off, I thought they'd assumed you were cheating (however that works--I didn't think cheating was possible) and given you the boot. I'm still at 124 words and can't imagine what your parents did to you so that you've developed this rewarding vocabulary that would bless you with 25 words in addition to what I have. That's a damned fine accomplishment.
10:28 pm
Delta

You must realize that it is extremely questionable when two people get exactly the same score, with exactly the same words (I checked, each had 180 of the exact same words). Especially when that score is miles above everyone else. There's no point in playing the game if you're just going to cheat.
10:58 pm
April

cheat? How can you cheat? Besides, how would 'they' know if you did? Seems a little big brotherish to me.
11:02 pm
ejackg22

56/4.39/489
2-6'S, 1-7, NO 8'S OR 9'S
CONGRATS TO "HIGH-ROLLERS"
(JOEY)
11:06 pm
Delta

Unfortunately there are websites that will solve puzzles like this. It would become quite obvious when you consistently find 98% of the words in the puzzle. Please don't cheat!!!
11:10 pm
Delta

I'm impressed with Calamity James, though, he/she definitely appears legit. Good job!
11:12 pm
April

hmmm, websites to cheat huh? well I guess you'll know I did if I jump from 180th place to first place in like 4 games (or however it is averaged).Here's a clue to my apptitude though, I have only like 25 words now and can't find any more, and have like less than an hour to go :(
11:13 pm
4t8

finally a "q" :-)
11:13 pm
Delta

Don't forget to make sure you check for possible suffix additions to all your words.
11:19 pm
4t8

yeah...thanks.
*sigh. it's not the vocab that's the prob, it's seeing the words.
glug!
11:19 pm
Successie

As long as you're having fun with the game, April. You can do it. Yay!
11:19 pm
April

What is a suffix? (didn't go to high school) :)
11:22 pm
April

Thanks Successie, this is fun! I figure maybe now crosswords won't be so intimidating. The whole puzzle thing has always scared me, but really, it just builds the 'muscle' of the brain.
11:23 pm
4t8

basically they extend words at the end, and add a new meaning: i.e. "-ing" "-er" "-y" like in "talking" "teary" "greater"
prefixes are the same, but precede the word.
11:24 pm
Successie

Suffix: 1. A letter, letters, syllable, or syllables added or appended to the end of a word or a root to modify the meaning; a postfix.

2. (Math.) A subscript mark, number, or letter.
11:26 pm
Successie

Absolutely, April. Hooray for a thicker cortex. =)
11:27 pm
April

Thanks!
Yeah, I look for those but the words camouflage themselves so well. Still, what a thrill it is when I find one!
11:40 pm
April

Now I am curious why a word like yang goes through but a word like prana does not? both are eastern mystical words, commonly used now in the west.
