12:32 am
sccuddlers

I know - since when is europe not a word - frustrating
12:32 am
Jemper

Europe is a proper noun...
12:33 am
sccuddlers

that's no fun, LOL
12:33 am
majenwen

And certain Greek gods aren't proper nouns?
12:35 am
sccuddlers

my brain must not be working - I can't seem to find anything longer than 5 letters
12:35 am
jayferg

it is a give or take on the greek gods....younever know what it will accept.
12:36 am

9:47 am
mystikchick

ok it doesn't accept proper nouns but it definitely just took pedro. i'm confused...
9:48 am
Atalante

pedro - \Pe"dro\, n. [From Sp. Pedro Peter, L. Petrus, Gr. ?.] (Card Playing) (a) The five of trumps in certain varieties of auction pitch. (b) A variety of auction pitch in which the five of trumps counts five.
9:49 am
mystikchick

wow you definitely learn something new each day. thanks!
9:49 am
discodave

You'd be amazed how many names show up as words - Pedro means the five of trumps in certain situations during a game of cards, apparently.
9:49 am
discodave

Damn you Atalante for scooping me!
9:50 am
monkeylove

Found the 7-point word ... still think I'm missing a bunch of others, though

12:59 pm
Essentia

1:34 pm
G2Star

I think I'm done.
1:35 pm
G2Star

Half the ones I found I have never even heard of.
1:36 pm
nutkin

it IS the san francisco treat, after all
1:37 pm
nutkin

we should exchange lists then because the only ones I've found are things I've heard of
1:42 pm
fnurt

depurge should be a word! don't try and picture it though...
1:48 pm
parker313

No exchanging lists, come on!! No cheating! Sharing words is cheating >:(
1:49 pm
nutkin

i was joking
1:50 pm
parker313

Well, people *were* sharing words yesterday
1:51 pm
cwk4328

This puzzle has no respect for Robert A. Heinlein, either.
1:53 pm

that's ok because i am a moron
1:56 pm

2:12 pm

Yay! I found a 7!
But only 3 6's.
2:13 pm
nutkin

has anyone found anything bigger than 7 letters?
2:19 pm
G2Star

I'm done at 121 words. I'm beat. LOL!
2:19 pm
Suzanah

Two 6's and one 7 so far - the one Parker mentioned. Still looking for the other 7 and 6s. :)
2:32 pm

3:02 pm
parker313

I am so close to that other 7 I can taste it, but I just can get it.

No that's not a hint LOL
3:05 pm

3:07 pm
hapigurl

no fair parker. miss smartypants. hee hee
3:32 pm
monkeylove

Woo-hoo! Finally got the other 7, even though I'd been dancing around it for hours :S
3:59 pm
sccuddlers

I've only been looking at this for a few minutes and already I have a headache
4:50 pm
Christine

Well, came back and the second fish just jumped at me! I have one 7, but can't see the 'cold' word... Marianne, please email the answer...
4:58 pm
parker313

No sharing words >:(
5:02 pm
Christine

Who says so, and why not......
5:04 pm
monkeylove

It seems like it would defeat the purpose of having rankings if people share words, wouldn't it?
5:09 pm
parker313

Common sense says so. The whole point is that this is a challenge of how smart YOU are, not how smart your friends are.
5:18 pm
Christine

Baaaaad people, those who gave the 'cold' clue.... which has not yet clicked-in.....more clues, please.
5:24 pm
Kaetchen

wish i hadn't started this one
5:29 pm
Suzanah

Christine - I think this is a misunderstanding. I know that there has always been some light hearted sharing of clues around here (from what I've seen in the last couple of weeks), but it was always done in good fun and never got out of hand. Someone recently shared their babble addiction with our Ovuland online community, though, and there was an influx of new members yesterday and some all out cheating going on. Parker's message was in answer to this rampant sharing of words. I think you're part of the old guard, though, and not a member of our online community.
5:30 pm
Suzanah

Yikes! My last message didn't look so long when I entered it into the small window at the bottom of the screen. Sorry for the novel.
5:57 pm
cunninghampa

I keep seeing colonic. Hm. I wish I hadn't started this one either. I'm not doing well.
5:58 pm
parker313

I keep seeing argyle...
6:09 pm
Suzanah

Ah, that's why it wouldn't accept ARGYL - there's supposed to be an "e" at the end. :Insert D'oh smiley here:
6:18 pm
idiot

FINALLY found it
6:19 pm
Christine

Saozinha-Darlin' ... I loved reading your novelette. I agree with what you say about not sharing word lists - I do this for fun, but I like to see how my points stack-up against other players. Anceps gives clues to how many words/the highest-score word, and it gives me something to hunt. I really don't want the word, but I enjoy decoding someone's clue. I do think using the dictionary or the wordsearch thingy (the technical term) could be 'cheating', but hey, different strokes....
6:33 pm
Christie

I have one 7 but can't find the other :(
6:33 pm
parker313

My apologies - with all the sharing going on yesterday, when I saw that comment about someone else emailing the answer, I jumped to a conclusion and I apologize if it was the wrong one.
6:35 pm
ButterfliesMamma

I found it. I so smart. :)
6:36 pm
Christie

don't rub it in...lol
6:42 pm
cunninghampa

I am so done with this puzzle. It hates me. I'm leaving it at 73/4.41/827.
6:48 pm
teachinmama

Just joining in on the fun... :)
6:52 pm
G2Star

Who cares what other people do, it's just a game, and there is an option to hide the chat log if you do not wish to read about it. Sheesh. It's just a game, and if people want to cheat or share answers let them go for it, doesn't mean that anyone else has to.

My 2 cents.
6:55 pm
bookworm

Didja know that "okee" isn't a word? drat
6:56 pm
Christie

Christine, since I'm new at this... can you tell me what the heck a fish and donkey are??? lol
6:57 pm
parrothead27

I see quite a few ovusofter here...thanks!

7:56 pm
parker313

75 words 4.45/905 and I think I'm calling it a night!
7:57 pm
Atalante

Saltwater :P
8:01 pm
ButterfliesMamma

I've got both 7's, I'm pretty sure...how many 6's are there?? I've got 3 so far.
8:02 pm
nutkin

i think groupee should be a word
8:07 pm
nutkin

i have 3 6's and 1 7
8:17 pm
Jeanette

so I take it that there are no 8 letter words this time
8:24 pm
Christine

I have a friend who plays with the log hidden - she says the noise is deafening (she's easily distractd);I doe't expect to get more than 1/2 or 1/3 the points, so it's just fun, and I manage to stay at 55-60, so that's not too ban. Now, y'all close your eyes while I educate little Christie....




the fish are DORY and PORGY and the donkey is MOKE.....
8:27 pm
Christie

You rock! I had both the fish but not the donkey. All this time I thought Fish and Donkey were just a special word for finding a "7" orsomething...roflmao!!!
8:30 pm
Atalante

There's another fish as well .... :P
8:31 pm
Christine

Ah, Christie -- the secret language of the Babblers...darn, I just read my last post - my brain runs faster than my fingers - I need to proofread before I hit 'post message'.
8:33 pm

I keep seeing Colmid....
8:52 pm
Christine

'olde' isn't acceptable? My daughter refers to me as 'Olde English', and I'm pretty sure I exist....
8:55 pm
Riff

"grok" isn't a valid word either, what do you know?!
8:57 pm
nutkin

i'm still very upset that it won't accept roni
9:19 pm
Riff

I give up...46/4.30.436
9:22 pm

I'm new at this. Wehre do you find out how many are possible and how many of each number there are?

usually anceps tell us.
i was curious after finishing, the first time i ever played, and googled for a solver. (someone had announced her high cheated score - i figured it was ok to stop, be honest, and see what i'd missed - much like tonight.) this one only gave the number of words poss. - i counted the amount poss. for each one. don't think anceps has to do that.
it's not worth looking into unless you're honest and don't play after looking, but is interesting for the fact that, wow! i didn't quite get that, or why didn't i see that, and how could i've missed that [obvious] combo, etc. etc.
ok, g'night really now. :)

anceps is just the username of someone on the board. I think he wrote his own program to solve the game.
