12:56 am

bazo0ka

teh 9 letter word for 72 also starts with that "n" but works more west from there ;)
12:56 am

1:13 am
The Divine Miss

Duh...mine did...can I blame baby brain? lol
1:14 am
bazo0ka

pregnant? you can blame it on placenta brain.. bf'ing? you can blame it on that ;)
1:15 am
bazo0ka

you can almost put tylenol ;)
1:15 am
Q

It sorta has to, given the board (G and D are the only 2-point letters) and the method of scoring (an 8 letter word worth 45 points needs a letter score of 9, for which the only possibility is 7 1's and a 2).
1:16 am
Q

Hey, I'm pregnant AND breastfeeding. :)

1:16 am
The Divine Miss

Pregnant...total placenta brain! lol...3rd time round makes it three time as bad
:-P
1:17 am

8:52 am
baby#3

How many 9's are there? I've already found 2, is that it?
9:00 am
Jemper

I don't think stats have been posted for this puzzle. Any clues for the 9's? ;o)
9:07 am
Tolinya

Back at it again...7 1/2 month old eating cat food. Why must he interrupt my word making????
9:26 am
Krista

soylent...nope...Soylent Green is people, ya know
9:36 am
Swtbtrcup

Ive been playing almost a week now and Im still not ranked.... sigh.
9:49 am
Jemper

The rankings are still screwy. I haven't moved despite breaking 1,000 pts for the last 2 puzzles. *shrug*

108 words / 4.52 / 1003, calling it a nite! Seeya later...
10:34 am
jlm_mi

I think somebody needs to update their dictionary list! It won't take stent, but it will take a word that, as far as I can find, is only a word in Spanish . . .
10:36 am
Tolinya

Yeah it took a french word also.....
10:40 am
jlm_mi

Hmm - I don't think it's taken a word from me yet that's only French. I'll have to keep looking for that one. I have several that are words in both French and English. And it wouldn't take selon, which is French for "according to". Maybe it's only foreign words that are well known by Enlish speakers. LOL!
10:47 am
Tolinya

now that I think about it it might be an english word..i just remember that 1 word from a project we had to do senior year in french class. we had to find 50 words on a list and we have to make copies of them in the context and this was one. makes me feel OLD
10:54 am
SweetPickle

I can't believe it won't take 'stent' either. /: Considering some of what it WILL take, especially.
11:06 am
Christine

There's definitelt something screwy in the rankings.. Bulldog gets higher scores, but her ranking is below mine.... hmmm, I think this proves Sir God loves me best
11:11 am
BooMom

Tolinya - do I know you from PG? :)
11:19 am
Tolinya

Yes yes it's Apryl..sigh...
11:20 am
Tolinya

and i'm stuck at 49 words although i did gte 2-7 letter words...not good at seeing them backwards..oh and the babysitter said thanks for introducing her to a new addiction...hehe
11:21 am
BooMom

teehee - your babysitter said you were at swim lessons last night - I knew it was you! :) How you doing? I just started...
11:21 am
BooMom

I have 10 4 letter words. Not seeing the big ones today. :(
11:22 am
Tolinya

yup we went to swim lessons and i worked out..thankfully he's stopped wailing when we put him in the childcare at the y so we can actually work out
11:25 am
bazo0ka

11:26 am
COMFERT

11:28 am
Tolinya

oh my goodness!!! i've been up for 4 1/2 hours i wish i could just get up now!!! granted it's nice having 2 computers...1 to surf internet, etc and then work laptop..the benefit of working from home...
11:33 am
BooMom

19 words - mostly 4's, a few 5's and 6's. Gotta work now...see ya!
11:34 am
jlm_mi

I'm guesing bazo0ka doesn't live in the eastern U.S. ;)
11:35 am
Tolinya

eh i'm on the west coast well relatively the west coast...one big earthquake and i'd be on the west coast...lol
11:37 am
BooMom

Tolinya - we'd have ocean front property, huh?
11:38 am
locoporgallinas

Hi! I'm new, and I really stink at this. I can't get any words over 4 letters!
11:38 am
jlm_mi

Is the 9-letter word super-obscure, or am I going to hit myself over the head when I finally find it? :p
11:40 am
Tolinya

I haven't found it yet and I looked at the nonhints down below and still couldn't find it clearly my brain is not ready for the 9 letter words...hey the 2 7's were found last night maybe i need to get warmed up...heheh

and oh yeah definatly ocean front property you more so than me...
11:41 am
BooMom

I never even found a 7 letter last night or today. :(
11:42 am
BooMom

i'm s'posed to be working....
11:44 am
Tolinya

yeah i'm working on a crisis for one of my customers...their leases are all hosed...i've got 2 other chat windows open and 2 spreadsheets...hehe...I'm the Queen of Multitasking...

29/4.55/246
11:50 am
jlm_mi

locoporgallinas - it will grow on you as you start to figure out more patterns! :D
11:50 am
Tolinya

Tell them it's mind stimulation or something like that..hehe or better yet..it's a pop up window...you were searching for a phone number on dexonline and got a popup. Then act clueless....
11:52 am
BooMom

I LOVE the ones you don't know, but try anyway and they WORK!!! Have no clue what the last 3 words are or mean.
11:52 am
Tolinya

loco-
just an fyi...41 of my words are 4 letter...we all have to start somewhere...lol
11:54 am
jlm_mi

BooMom - Those are great! But now I can't believe some of the words I'm finding myself trying, just in case.

Oh, and if anyone was wondering. "jelator" is not a word. LOL!
11:54 am
BooMom

I have a 7! NO idea what it means...another fluke. LOL
11:55 am
BooMom

Neither is gonlan. :(
11:55 am
jlm_mi

Will have to hunt for that obscure 7! I have 2 7's, but they are both everyday English words. Hmmmmm. . .
11:56 am
BooMom

where are the stats for today? where do people get them from anyways?
11:57 am
jlm_mi

No one has posted the stats. There seem to be two people (Ysegrim, and I can't remember the other) who have programs that can calculate the stats for any given puzzle.

I tried to find something online that would do it, but no luck. And I'm just not that good at programming, so hopefully someone will post them soon!
12:07 pm
Tolinya

yeah they'd be nice to have especiallly since now i know what i'm doing...and lotaned isn't a word either...hehe..back to work up to 51 words..another 4 letter
12:08 pm
Tolinya

yeah my 2 7's were everyday average as well...think we got the same ones
12:09 pm
jlm_mi

Does that 7 that you don't know what it means have 56 points, or is that yet another one?
12:11 pm
Tolinya

my 2 7's were only 28 pts...rats
12:15 pm
Tolinya

ok so it just took a 4 letter and when i clicked on the dictionary thing to find out what it meant..there was no entry??? 'splain that one lucy
12:29 pm
lawyer-1

Tolinya,
Often, Babble will accept words that are not in its own dictionary. We refer to it as babble welfare. It makes up in some small way for those words that we all know exist but that it refuses to accept. Go figure!
12:31 pm
Tolinya

Babble welfare...lol thanks for the "definition" lawyer!!
12:43 pm
lawyer-1

12:54 pm
jlm_mi

many moons ago (4:35am log time) bulldog posted 260/4.87/3148

I can only dream . . .

186/4.64/1861 and struggling to find the big words
12:55 pm
jlm_mi

So, I guess that means lawyer-1 found more big words than bulldog, and bulldog found more little ones. That's a lot of words!
1:03 pm
bazo0ka

yeah i live on teh west coast..
i didnt go to sleep until 3/4am.. *i hate insomnia* then i got up at 8am.. so *YAWN* lol :)
1:04 pm
meggiemoo

1:04 pm
lawyer-1

Do you want quality or quantity?
1:12 pm
meggiemoo

meggiemoo

1:31 pm

meggiemoo

hum, i didn't think it was possible
1:32 pm
fixitfmly

lawyer-1:
BOTH!! ;-D I want it *all*!
It's always fun to read the lists from you & bulldog & bazo0ka the day after and be awed!
1:35 pm
atlatl51

if you look long enough it's possible. Sometimes it works out beter when you take a break for a little while.
1:36 pm
meggiemoo

ah! i got it
1:36 pm
meggiemoo

was there only one?
1:37 pm
meggiemoo

nevermind
1:37 pm
atlatl51

6 or more.
1:40 pm
fixitfmly

meggiemoo --
insomnia: inability to sleep; I think Babble *causes* this, not a cure for it! ;)
g word: there's a simple 4, just think of Margaret Mitchell's famous novel ;-D
1:41 pm
meggiemoo

that'd help greatly if i knew who that was ;)
1:41 pm
jlm_mi

I've got 8 words beginning with G, including 2 6's & 1 7.

Lawyer-1 - I also want it all. :D
1:41 pm
meggiemoo

omg, i'm an idiot, ok, i already got that one
1:42 pm
allstar

I have only 3 *g* words
1:44 pm
meggiemoo

well, i've got 2....hum
1:44 pm
SweetPickle

10 g words here.
1:45 pm
lawyer-1

There are at least 18 words beginning with "g"
1:45 pm
meggiemoo

gee!
1:46 pm
jlm_mi

yikes!
1:46 pm
meggiemoo

how many "J" words, if u kno?
1:46 pm
SweetPickle

Once again, I think I'm cool until lawyer shows up. d:
1:47 pm
jlm_mi

I've got 8 of those as well, but I'm afraid to hear how many lawyer-1 has. :p
1:47 pm
meggiemoo

if laywer is really a lawyer, then i'd expect them to be smart ;)
1:50 pm
bazo0ka

where are teh stats for this puzzle? i like to know how many i am missing ;)
1:50 pm
meggiemoo

you are both very good from the stats, and besides, it's really just u against the game
1:51 pm
meggiemoo

not stats, rankings. my bad
1:56 pm
meggiemoo

is a lot 2 words or one?
1:57 pm
meggiemoo

haha, nevermind
1:57 pm
jlm_mi

It's 2 words. As 1 word it's allot, meaning to allocate or dole out.
2:10 pm
lawyer-1

I have 8 "j" words
2:15 pm
true_felicity

10 J words here
2:29 pm
ottermom

nine j words here... that tenth one is eluding me!
2:30 pm
Tolinya

only 5 here
2:32 pm
SweetPickle

11 j words here.
2:34 pm
jlm_mi

People keep making it harder and harder to find all the j's! :D

And I was so sure I had another one. Jove should be there! According to dictionary.com it means "tin" to an alchemist. So even if "by jove" is considered slang or capital, that should fit. But no. :(

So, for those with many j words. Are any of them longer than 6 letters?
2:36 pm
SweetPickle

one of my j words is a 7.

Now if only I could find more than one 9! (;
2:38 pm
jlm_mi

Oh! I just found the 7-letter j word. I almost cried out with surprise in my cubicle! One more to go, at least . . .
2:39 pm
lorelei

can u believe that indeed isnt a word
2:44 pm
lawyer-1

Lorelei,

No I can't, but I can believe that "indeed" is not in this board.
2:45 pm
true_felicity

267 / 2719

I am having the hardest time finding "long" words. 7 or 8 sevens, I think, and 2 8's. I can't find a nine. :( I think I might give up, as I've been at this for awhile.
2:49 pm
ottermom

my friend just pointed me here... i've gotta go but my first attempt got me to 118/4.58/1151. i really wanted to break 4.6 but i don't think it's gonna happen right now. oh well! great game... catch y'all later!
3:13 pm

No one has posted the total stats yet. But, given the few high word count scores posted, there are probably in the ballpark of 300, if not more.

bulldog, I can't seem to find either nine letter word - the one with s or with n :(
5:52 pm
bulldog

the s word is two words put together and the n word starts with a prefix
5:53 pm
bulldog

both words have at least one s in them
5:53 pm
runningforhome

The n one is a three-letter prefix upon a six-letter word (and that six is a plural of a five). Did that make the slightest bit of sense?
The s one is a compound word.

I'm a long way from lawyer-1 but I have 7 As, 7 Vs and 5 Os so far.
2 Vs have to do with electricity, 2 with rodents;
an O is the name my grandmother always used for margarine, also a resin.

ugh!!! beating head on keyboard! found the 9!!! somehow missed the point that it was 72 pts and wasted time in the wrong corner of the grid.
At least I just picked up 5 more words out of the deal! ;-D

It didn't start with the n I expected.

(giggling hysterically) in looking for compound words that begin with S . . . searching, searching . . . sealsnot
No, you can't really make that word, but I'm getting tired and silly! ;-D
10:03 pm

silly gal! sealsnot is only an 8! ;-)
10:13 pm

I bet I'm going to feel really silly once I figure out this 9-lttr N word. Which N tile does it begin on?
10:16 pm
fixitfmly

top N
10:17 pm
Jemper

OK, that's where I was looking. *sigh*
10:17 pm

you won't feel silly, it's a ridiculous word.

How is everybody doing on this puzzle? I wonder why no one has posted the result numbers?

At least I seem to be consistent -- I'm always at least 50% behind bulldog! ;-P

Don't know why I help you, you are 150 places ahead of me in the rankings. :(
10:42 pm
Daisy

sleeky, is that a hint or a complaint? ;)
10:43 pm
bulldog

I'm really trying hard to move up in the rankings, so if everybody could just top playing for a few days. or even better only play one four letter word it would really help me out . Thanks.

don't know why I'm ahead of you in the rankings -- I've only played for about a week and I'm *always* well behind you!!
I didn't think the rankings have changed in the last couple of days so I would just guess they're screwed up, not having any idea how they are achieved. Just looking at the daily puzzle results I *know* you're well ahead of me, no matter *what* the rankings say.
10:50 pm
bulldog

fun, huh? I've actually thought about not playing unless my ranking moves up. Then I realize that the only person that would care would be me and I continue to play. :(
10:53 pm
bulldog

I think that if you play a game and don't score very high you can really hurt your ranking. more so if you haven't really played many games. I really haven't played for very long and I have no reason to expect a higher ranking, I really am not that concerned, just devoting a great deal of time to the game. It is very good mental exercise.
and I got 4 w words

Gasp! I have 30 Ns too! But only 8 Rs ;-)

I enjoy your posts Bulldog, your success gives me something to strive towards. I'm tickled to death to learn I've found 4 W's as well! :oP
10:55 pm

I haven't moved in the rankings at all and I know I'm playing much, much better. (Especially since my husband has joined me. ;-) )

And yes, that was a hint!
10:56 pm
sleeky

\P.S. no one else I've checked has moved at all either, in days. I do'n't think they're gettign updated.
11:06 pm
bulldog

I moved three days ago, from 168 - 203
11:09 pm

So basically, if I was worried about my ranking, then it probably wasn't a good idea to start with puzzle with only an hour left ;P
11:10 pm

Where are you all seeing the rankings? If I ever look, I usually check some peoples' word lists to see the words I just could not find.
11:13 pm

Top o' the page my good man next to the star that says player rankings.
11:14 pm

Thank you but I am afraid I am a good woman not man. :) I will go check that out right away!
11:15 pm

Don't get too excited, they don't update after every puzzle as described.
11:15 pm
seaotter

Boy, if that were any more obvious it would have bit me. Sorry for my ignorance. I think the puzzle tends to distract me. That or I am very tired today and need to get to bed!
11:17 pm

Thanks fixitfmly. The four 'V's you mentioned are the ones I have. But I'm gonna work on those 'A's. Thanks!!

Thanks Jemper, I was a little concerned there. I don't think I will check that all too often.
11:22 pm

Yes, it's a little frustrating (hence the conversation earlier with Bulldog).
11:25 pm

Sorry Jemper, I have not been keeping up with the conversations today-trying too hard to get the points!

Really it was a diatribe on my part. I've actually filled out a comment page. I should let it go but it isn't in my nature to do so, hence the nickname bulldog.

That 9 letter S word is gonna drive me bananas!
11:47 pm
seaotter

I'm trying to get it too. Arrrrgghhh!
11:48 pm
bulldog

the s word couldn't possible drive you bannanas, in fact if you were one of the type outlined by the s word you would definately head off any fruit tree in the past. taunt taunt. there are many many clues about the s word earlier in the log
