ENTIRE CHAT LOG

1:18 am
sapphie

Let the babbling begin :)). PLus I am on holiday for the next week....so maybe more intense babbling, but less often as away from PC at times :((
1:27 am
sapphie

To Rodders and Dimwit!, I dont have the luxury of swanning about all day....some of us have to teach!!!! But I still beat you both!!!!
1:39 am
majenwen

Anyone get anything higher than a 6?
1:45 am
Rodders

To Sapphie, I'm hurt. Yesterday I taught a whole lesson!
1:51 am
KHDavies

Yep 1 7 so far. After yesterdays ignominious defeat, that really makes me feel like I'm cleaning up in this puzzle. It's the little victories, I guess! :-)
1:53 am
dimster

To Sapphie....i didn't realise that playing with sand and water was classified as teaching!....you need some 'dentist' appointments soon...;-)
1:54 am
FFFF

good morning all
ewww yesterdays puzzles was damn difficult, but I begin to hate this one too grrr
2:56 am
Sini

I play Babble offline by printing the puzzle and writing down words - then come to the computer and type them. Saves me money.
3:39 am
nil

sini, that's too hard for me. i'd at least want to use a word processor, then cut & paste my words. you could also spell check before putting em in. :)
3:41 am
nil

sapphie, i'm out of town this weekend, and wondering if i should take my laptop with me or let beluga *withdraw* for a few days.
3:45 am
nil

this one looks extremely challenging; glad to sit it out. :)
4:04 am
lawyer-1

Beluga....backing down from a toughie? I am at 1133 now. Surely you can beat that!
5:25 am
Koe

Hey, I'm in the puzzle...
5:32 am
Magican

You wanna know the stats?

11 sixes
2 sevens
1 eight
1 nine

Go get 'em guys!
6:37 am
M&O

My score from yesterday was 80-90 points higher than what is listed. Why would that be?
7:54 am
nil

i *do* have a life outside babble, counselor. :)
8:45 am
nil

but just this once, nil will play long enough to surpass 1133, so as not to disappoint beluga's public. ;)
8:46 am
Dustin

im pretty stuck, i need some hints
9:09 am
joyce

Greetings all!
Hmm.. just starting another 8 hr day but already I can tell I ain't gonna like this one!
9:19 am
nil

mammals 3 birds 0 so far
9:34 am
eeeee

I'm at 107/1039 and gunning for lawyer's 1133, but don't think I'm gonna make it...
9:56 am
lawyer-1

eeeee.....sorry, but I made it up to 113/4.46/1300 and then quit. It sounds like a good score, but the usuals will beat it by a wide margin.
10:24 am
Soz

No time to play today :( Pity, im hooked on this now
10:50 am
sapphie

I presume you wrote that comment in one of your many 'frees' Dimster.
11:03 am
sapphie

This grid is a real foka.

Hmm beluga/nil....I may just have to take the lappy with me :))
11:46 am
discodave

Well, I'm not going to beat anyone with my score, but I can beat nil/beluga's total of animals - 4 (including one slang word, admittedly).
11:56 am
nil

i left that one out on purpose, put it out to pasture so to speak
12:01 pm
discodave

Ah well, looks like I'll just have to make do with abject failure and my lowly 7 letter word...And, for some unknown reason, I keep thinking bandwidth is there, dammit.
12:04 pm
nil

yup, strange that it's so much easier to see non-existent words. :(
12:08 pm
lawyer-1

There are at least 6 or 7 animals, from the common to the arcane.
12:12 pm
sapphie

75 4.39 719 , but still no 7,8 or 9's ...bummer, i stink at gettign the longer words :(
12:15 pm
nil

12:17 pm
sapphie

cheers for the giraffe clue beluga :)
12:24 pm
sapphie

aaaa.....one 7 at least!!
12:28 pm
sapphie

Oh yes and a second 7....*sapphie does happy dance*
12:41 pm
lawyer-1

The 8-letter word is an animal, and the 9 is it's plural.
12:48 pm
sapphie

1:09 pm
FFFF

3:06 pm
nil

3:20 pm
sapphie

LOL....gotcha beluga :)) Cheers, that was a bit obvious, like wren yesterday which took me forever to see LOL!!!
3:20 pm
sapphie

3:22 pm
Flamboyant

3:22 pm
sapphie

LOL got a second bird ....think it was yours 11 points
3:25 pm

3:32 pm

3:40 pm
Flamboyant

3:42 pm
sapphie

3:44 pm
Flamboyant

3:55 pm
Flamboyant

Good clue on the giraffe relative hint.
4:21 pm
nil

aah, this is annoying. can't find 6 letter words, not even one i apparently gave a clue to! :( but no more clues on that one, please, i am determined to find this elusive creature.
5:04 pm
runningforhome

Woot, found the 8 and the 9 through the random letter method.
5:10 pm
itzie

Well, I only found one 7, and I couldn't find the 8 or 9, but I learned a lot of new words today and I'm quitting at 150.
5:38 pm
nil

got the bird, thanks to audubon society web page...116/4.41/1224 is ok for a day off.
5:46 pm
KHDavies

OK, got the birds, but this 8 letter animal is killing me. Is it a common animal? Have I heard of it?
5:51 pm
nil

1244 actually, shortchanged myself.
6:01 pm
itzie

It's driving me nuts too. I'm having a hard time walking away without having those two.
6:16 pm
sapphie

i think i know what it ends in (the 8/9 letter animal)....but having trouble getting the starting letters
...if that makes sense.

So beluga you did get the 33 point bird??? !!!
6:18 pm
nil

yes, i did; never heard of it, your bird knowledge is impressive.
6:18 pm
sapphie

Hey!!! (slightly merry now)....we should run a General Vanya sweepstake.
Like at the start of the Babble day we all guess the point score of the General!!!LOL Winner gets......zip!!!
6:19 pm
sapphie

night all going to bed....past midnight!!!
6:23 pm
Hypothetico

Hey KHDavies -- stop looking for the 8-ltr word and tell me when we're running tomorrow! ;) (oh, and btw, I've found one 7 but have yet to break 1000 pts and doubt i will. sigh.)
6:32 pm
nil

ne1 find the 8 letter word, feel free to drop as many hints as you want to. goin home with 1268
6:39 pm
Flamboyant

RFH: What's the "random letter method"?
6:45 pm
Rach_489

Random letter method is basically just trying every combination of letters you can think of until you find a "valid" word.

This 8/9 letter animal is driving me mad! I'm refusing to go to sleep till I find it.
7:07 pm
KHDavies

Still no luckon the 8/9. Hyp - lets run in the morning - say 9 ish? Any interest in going at my place on that path?
I'm stuck at 87 / 4.45 / 957. Grrr.
7:08 pm
KHDavies

Wanted: 8/9 letter word clues, chocolate and red wine. Not necessarily in that order. TGIF!
7:19 pm
Hypothetico

Alright. I give. It's Friday night and I've got places to go and things to do!! 86 / 4.42 / 870 ... KHD -- see you at 9AM at your place.
7:20 pm
runningforhome

The 8/9 is an uncommon term for a fairly common animal.
7:36 pm
runningforhome

In fact, the animal's common name is ALMOST in the puzzle as well.
7:39 pm
M&O

How pathetic would it be for me to ask you to expand on that? :)
8:08 pm
M&O

Tell Batman that KAPOW isn't a valid word....
8:13 pm
Flamboyant

Is this animal a reptile-esque name?
8:13 pm
KHDavies

OK - off to see The Day After Tomorrow. Its Armageddon! And I still didn't find that darn 8 letter animal. Alas. Calling it at 96 / 4.47 /1077
8:20 pm
majenwen

I have no ideas what the 8/9, giraffe relative, or the bird to the south is. Sigh, I don't see anything more... I only have 2 sixes, and nothing higher...
8:27 pm
Flamboyant

The giraffe relative would be tough if you've never heard that word before. It's pretty obscure.
9:58 pm
runningforhome

Why can I only see almost-words?
107/4.52/1272
10:48 pm
nil

thanks for the clues, very sporting of you, though i didn't get the 8 letter animal. wouldn't worry much about a word missed here or there, stick around & you'll get em next time.
