Everybody gone to bed. On a roll of 52 words so far.
12:17 am
beluga

i'm here. got 59. :)
12:18 am
beluga

but i'm about to hit the sack.
12:19 am
beluga

can't believe it won't take a really kool word like zoot, as in zoot suit. :(
12:21 am
hourfollowshour

I was sad as well when it rejected "zoot"!
12:21 am
hourfollowshour

Two 7's so far.
12:26 am
dustyfleas

Well, if it won't take zoot, it will take zees.
12:29 am
hourfollowshour

"Sootier" is so close yet so far.
12:34 am
dustyfleas

78 4.36 627
12:35 am
Alti

got two birds!
12:36 am
hourfollowshour

Damn. Always with the birds.
12:38 am
dustyfleas

I got a cow.
12:40 am
Alti

what you don't like birds hour?

12:43 am
dustyfleas

I thought I had a cat "ocelot"
12:43 am
hourfollowshour

haha, it's not that I don't like them, it's just I don't know the names of many!
12:45 am
dustyfleas

I missed the worm to feed to the bird.
12:49 am
Alti

yeah I didn't either till I started hanging out with Sapphie on here, she's good at birds! This is one of the best games I've had in a long time so far, there are so many words in this puzzle. I'm all stoked.
12:50 am
dustyfleas

No "ecoli"
12:53 am
Flamboyant

k, i must really suck. why do i see nothing EVER
1:00 am
dustyfleas

If you don't see "ever", look deeper in the well.
1:05 am
dustyfleas

Found 2 spanish words, but only one worked.
1:24 am
dustyfleas

It lates in this neck of the woods, going to be hard to get up at 5 am.
Ending with 104 4.46 983
1:30 am
Ashy

This should be easier than the last one.
2:40 am
sir_captain

woo hoo! 95 point word!
2:45 am
Philwho

I cant belive how many Z words there are !!
3:19 am
Magican

And another round of stats:

23 sixes
8 sevens
2 eights
no nines

And about 19 z-words...
3:43 am
anceps

Max: 219 words for 3304 pts.
(96x4, 78x5, 30x6, 10x7, 3x8 and 2x9)
Best word: 120 pts.
4:28 am
Philwho

magician, there is a nine :-p
5:06 am
Magican

Even two! Wow!

And by the way, it's Magican, not Magician... :p
5:17 am
burns1

There's a 9 worth 120 points!
5:21 am
Philwho

Lol, magican, two huh? I'll have to look again......
6:54 am
M&O

Iam so ashamed of all the words I *should have* seen yesterday! How could I miss dainty!?
7:14 am
Ashy

I sure have time to play this now :D
7:20 am
Sini

Ashy, you should be working!
7:22 am
Ashy

I'm working. How about YOU?
7:25 am
Sini

It's 15:25! So I've done my share.

BTW got the 9 & 120 pts! ;) My first nine ever.
7:26 am
Ashy

Sini, you should know in Sello, sitting is my job...
7:28 am
Sini

Well at least try to look like your working... And look around sometimes.
7:35 am
Ashy

Sini, even though I'm sitting I still look busier than other employees around here.
7:59 am
cbullock

2k without breaking a sweat, but still missing a 9
8:03 am
Sini

Have a nice weekend Ashy, I'm off - broke 1000 for the first time so :D - can you beat that? See you on Monday.
8:28 am
lawyer-1

cb--broke 2 k also, but had to sweat doing it. One 9 is a plural, but it's singular is not in the puzzle. The 2nd 9 adds an "s" to an 8 letter word in the puzzle.
9:26 am
beluga

wonder what aussies think about roos not being allowed?
9:59 am
cbullock

thanks lawyer,
nice tip on the other 9
10:23 am
burns1

Right, I am calling it a day with 102 words and 2004 points.
12:00 pm
4t8

wish it was woozie, not woozy...
12:14 pm
HippieMama

you're on the right track 4t8, just think more plural. ;) it's a 7 letter one
12:22 pm
4t8

ooh! thank you! :)
12:42 pm
Flamboyant

okay..who wants to gimmie a nice little hint on some 9 words then :D pretty pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?
2:04 pm
beluga

alright, i have 1944 so i suppose i can drop a hint. the 9 letter word worth 120 pertains to old films. the other 9 letter word is rather obscure & only worth 72.
2:05 pm
Flamboyant

more specifically..the 120 pt one :D
2:06 pm
Flamboyant

i got the 72 pt one..not the 120..old films, huh..hmm..
2:06 pm
Flamboyant

thanks beluga
2:07 pm
HippieMama

oh great! I have no TV! LOL that's no hint!
2:17 pm
beluga

next time i dispense a clue, i'll make sure it doesn't reference mass media.
2:19 pm
Kaetchen

Thank you, beluga!
2:21 pm
cheeto44

i got the 120 word first. it's the "obscure" word that's messing me up.
2:27 pm
beluga

it took a while for me, so keep looking. or maybe someone else will drop a hint; i don't want to take all the credit for generosity around here. :)
2:30 pm
Flamboyant

for the obscure word, a hint would be like..hmm.someting to do with the old kingdom days..with castles and such
2:31 pm
Flamboyant

i still cant find the 120 word..im going crosseyed
2:32 pm
lawyer-1

The obscure one is so obscure that it harkens back to the Middle Ages.
2:41 pm
beluga

didn't know about medieval connotation. the original concept goes way back to pre-Christendom.
2:45 pm
cheeto44

according to the dictionary, it originated in sparta. interesting.
2:53 pm
beluga

yeah, it's not something greek civilization is commonly given credit for, like democracy.
3:01 pm
Flamboyant

okay..back to the 120 pt 9 letter word..anymore hints? :D
3:03 pm
4t8

i think castles, and turrets, dungeons, and moats come to mind. also keeps and crossbows. :(
3:06 pm
4t8

but it's a concept, eh, not a noun...hm.
3:17 pm
beluga

no, it's a noun for a concept! but it's not something so concrete like a particular structure or weapon, it's more like a class of somethings or someones.
3:21 pm
beluga

class might be ambigous; maybe state of something/someone is more apt.
3:23 pm
M&O

Is it to brazen to ask if it has the Z? I assume it must, if it is so many points.
3:24 pm
lawyer-1

Actually, Beluga, I meant that I go back to the Middle Ages!
3:25 pm
beluga

that's ambiguous, not ambigous. :(
how can i play babble if i can't spell?
3:29 pm
beluga

as do i, counselor. incidentally, middle ages is when you lot (of legal eagles) first started pushing paper around, is that not so?
3:31 pm
lawyer-1

Not me....I pushed around papyrus.
3:33 pm
Joojamar

yeah! the first 9 ever
3:34 pm
cunninghampa

I can't take anymore....finally found the 9/120 I'm done!
113 words 4.65 1366
3:36 pm
lawyer-1

Anyone care to help me reach 3,000? I am about 200 points shy.
3:37 pm
beluga

alas, m&o, our medievalism lacks z's.
3:41 pm
M&O

Hmmm... both 9s are eluding me. I'm learning new Z words through random guesses, though
3:43 pm
beluga

certainly, counselor, if you can provide us the words you already possess, we shall provide the ones you lack posthaste.
3:43 pm
M&O

Not valid? Wolephis?
3:44 pm
lawyer-1

178 words 4.94/2885
3:46 pm
lawyer-1

What's the record for, "Oops! That wasn't a valid word." in one game?


3:47 pm
beluga

by my calculation, 41/4.xx/419. glad to be of assistance. :)
3:48 pm
beluga

i was refering to your penultimate comment, of course.
3:56 pm
Joojamar

Well I must go to bed, its 23:56 here.
But at least I got the 120 and stats 87/4.64/1143
4:00 pm
Hypothetico

Hey PJK & Big Al -- we'll have to combine forces next week when we're all together to see if we're smarter collectively than individually (stranger things have happened). PJ, have you taught Katya to play yet? :)
4:00 pm
sir_captain

i give up--my eyes are beginning to bleed

124 words 4.61 1469
4:05 pm
lawyer-1

Nirvana attained! 188 words 4.93/ 3009. I'll bet you several others will score higher.
4:10 pm
M&O

121 words 4.69 1569
4:20 pm
M&O

AAAAAh! I am obsessed. I can't stop knowing there are 2 9 letter words!~
4:42 pm
B.B.

I'm really upset it won't accept zoot.
4:59 pm
Mal

AND IT DIDN'T LIKE ZORO
5:54 pm
liz

mal was you thinking of ZORO as in the mask
6:04 pm
Mand0

have a great weekend all! c'ya monday!
salut tout le monde a la semaine prochaine!
6:21 pm
beluga

inching upward at 166/4.81/2465 thanks to a pair of rather obscure words from oz, which makes it even stranger that roos is disallowed.
6:32 pm
atlatl51

thanks for the hint beluga. 120pts!
6:33 pm
M&O

Hey, help us non-Aussies!
6:42 pm
atlatl51

can't find the 72 pt. any hints?
6:42 pm
beluga

only 38 points combined. here's a clue: aussies would get the 2 words immediately, i'm guessing. since i'm not, i got it by random typing.
6:44 pm
beluga

many clues already on 72. sparta was really good clue, if you know ancient greek history.
6:59 pm
4t8

well...i got a cool 8 for 95. :)
7:05 pm
4t8

oh! of course (silly me) add an s and it's 9 for 120.
7:06 pm
M&O

The torture!
7:38 pm
4t8

you have more points than i, though. chin up!
7:40 pm
M&O

How can you tell?
7:54 pm
4t8

your earlier entry
8:30 pm
4t8

has anyone else ever considered making up a 5X5 grid, assigning a number to each box, and making every possible combo of numbers, then assigning letters to the corresponding numbers?
when i'm stuck at 110 1455 it seems a great idea!
9:10 pm
Dustin

checkin out with 2 6's
39/4.54/420 my favorite holiday
9:14 pm
Dustin

wait, got another 6
9:22 pm
Christine

M&O -- I misread your post - I thought I was looking for a twentynine letter word!!
9:42 pm
Christine

Egad -- just realized what a feat that would be, given a twentyfive space grid!!
9:49 pm
beluga

don't think we're likely to see a 29 letter word, but i've always wondered what happens if you get a 10 letter word.
10:14 pm
beluga

for programmers out there, pity cshell isn't allowed. :)
10:24 pm
beluga

calling it a nite with 175/4.83/2613. it was a good one for the birds, at least 3 by my count.
10:29 pm
4t8

whatever that is... does that mean my mathematical idea would be bad i guess? so! stuck at 1498 and no 72 in sight.
11:12 pm
Hypothetico

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! Found the 9 ltr word!!
11:12 pm
beluga

i meant 3 bird species in the puzzle, one of them worth 28 points. :)
11:47 pm
Jamie

oooh a 40-pointer, niiiice.
11:50 pm
Hypothetico

Well, I can't claim all the glory for myself (thanks PJK and Big Al!), but I can claim most of it. ;) 143 words / 4.76 / 2116
11:56 pm
KHDavies

WEll, found the 9 letter 120 one, but not a whole lot else, and time is running out....
Hypothetico - have fun at the wedding, knowing that you have soundly kicked Chris and I's butts
11:59 pm
Jamie

65 words/634 points.

not bad for 20 minutes' work. wish i'd started earlier.

this was a good puzzle.
