5:19 am
Christine

I have a 7 for 44, that doesn't fit either clue.
Does anyone know how many words are in this grid.
Where's anceps, when I need him??
5:22 am
mellowmasher

Nobody has said how many today I have 3x7 and 3x8 but guess there maybe more
5:30 am
Christine

I have only one 7, and three 8s.
This is one of those days when other peoples' clues don't sink in.
I think I'm going back to my book.
5:35 am
mellowmasher

On of the 8's contains the 7 if that helps
5:41 am
Christine

Yes, that I have, but the three for which Jeff glues... not a great help to me.
An early day tomorrow - having a heart monitor attached (eek), so I think I'll leave for now, come back tomorrow afternoon.
G'night, y'all.
5:43 am
Christine

Hmmm... 'glues' must be a contraction for 'gave clues'...
5:47 am
mellowmasher

111/1461 think im done
5:48 am
mellowmasher

Good luck Christine
5:53 am
Christine

Thank you - I know it's not really as scary as I think it is -- it's only a 24hr. check on my heart rhythms, etc
See y'all tomorrow.

Minski

35/4.57/435

Not a bad start for me considering I haven't looked at the posts yet and that's the first thing I usually do. Off to work now.
TTFN
7:48 am
eyezzz

There are 150 words in this puzzle. Sorry, no breakdowns for you.
8:05 am
jlm_mi

That 150 should contain approximately 3x8 and 4x7.
8:30 am
Atalante

I keep seeing tapeworm ....
8:31 am
mellowmasher

lol I keep seeing peanut
8:31 am
jlm_mi

It's taproot here that keeps clouding my vision. :-D
8:36 am
ConXshun

I keep seeing peanut too! I have 2 8's and no 7's... any clues?
8:40 am
jlm_mi

There are some clues throughout the log for most of them, I think. In alphabetical order they are:

8-60
7-44
8-60
7-44
7-44
8-55
7-56
8:43 am
ConXshun

thanks for the breakdown. i've read the log... not much help I'm afraid. Got the 8 for 55 from Jeff and an 8 for 60 but nothing else seems to figure...
8:51 am
jlm_mi

The first 8/60 creates a 6 for 24 if you remove the first two letters. The second 8/60 makes a 7/44 if you remove one letter, then a 5 for 16 if you remove two more. Do you know which 8/60 you have?
8:54 am
ConXshun

my 8 for 60 makes a 6 for 24 and then a 4 for 6
So your first one I guess...
8:58 am
jlm_mi

The other 8/60 also makes a 6/27 if you remove the last two letters. You have the one that is "quite obvious" correct?

Both the 8/60 you are missing and the 8/55 are past tense forms of verbs. But the base 6-letter words can serve other purposes besides verbs. I'm sure that won't help you find them, but if you're looking through your 6s, it may help you determine if you already have them.

Clue for the 8/60 - think thin
Clue for the 8/55 - think Clark Kent
9:00 am
ConXshun

OK ! thanks for the clues - Here goes looking!
I;ll let you know if I'm successful.
9:01 am
ConXshun

think thin! haha - of course! obvious... now the next...
energy's rising again ;)
9:04 am
ConXshun

Ha - and the other one i already have. 3 8's in total yes?
Now for the 7's.... hmmm
maybe cup of tea first will help
9:09 am
jlm_mi

As far as I know, only 3 8s. And 4 7s, one of which you have contained in an 8.
9:25 am
ConXshun

Any nice clues like your last ones on the other 3 7's?
9:25 am
elhombre

desperately trying to reach 100 words...can't....stop....help........mmmeeeee.....
9:30 am
ConXshun

how many words you got elhombre? I have 66... want more too!
9:35 am
jlm_mi

Hints for the 7s are harder for me to come up with, but I'll give it a shot:

7-44 already hinted, and you've found it
7-44 sounds a bit like something you'd use to cook hamburgers outside
7-44 word is originally French. Means relationship, it is something you develop with someone
7-56 starts with a 5 for 22 then add a suffix There aren't many ways, mathematically, to make a 5/22 . . .
9:40 am
stevedallas

112 and 1490 not bad for now
9:43 am
ConXshun

eh jlm mi, guardian angel - here goes looking for the 7's!
whats your score now? you deserve to do well!
9:45 am
jlm_mi

So far just 104/1422. Lots more to find. But that's OK. If I don't do well on this one, I'll just take it as future karma. ;)
9:48 am
ConXshun

I'll chalk it up for you ;)
9:51 am
stevedallas

117/1541 and 4.69
9:52 am
fnurt

I have 104/1427. I'll give my starting letters so far if it helps anyone...

Ax14
Dx10
Ex1
Mx5
Nx7
Ox4
Px19
Rx17
Tx20
Wx7
9:54 am
ConXshun

French relationship I've found. I don't cook many hamburgers outside... too much rain!
9:55 am
jlm_mi

We are very similar, but I have a more in a few areas to help in your search:

14xA
8xD
1xE
5xM
7xN
3xO
20xP
22xR
17xT
8xW
10:01 am
stevedallas

2 "e" s
10:06 am
ConXshun

got the 7 for 56 - now one more 7.... what the hell does one use to cook hamburgers with outside besides a barbeque?
10:09 am
jlm_mi

Or along with the bbq . . .
10:10 am
ConXshun

charcoal, tongs, spatula, brush, oil, chicken...
10:12 am
jlm_mi

This would be an alternative fuel to yours. But remember, the 7 only sounds like it, is not actually it.
10:14 am
Daisy

I think the bbq clue is confusing, because it's a misspelling. Instead, think of what Kerry is going to do during the DNC.
10:16 am
ConXshun

wood, petrol, gas, coke, coal, electricity, benzine, methelated spirit, oil....
10:17 am
ConXshun

lol! hehe errrrm , who is kerry and what is DNC. I'm beginning to get the idea that i'm living on a different planet.
10:19 am
Daisy

Democratic National Convention - going on right now in Boston, USA. I guess you're not from the US? Basically, Kerry is running for president and will be giving a stump speech at the convention, telling us his platform.
10:21 am
ConXshun

aha! I see. No I'm not from the US. I'm from the netherlands. So I'm none the wiser really.
10:24 am
stevedallas

ok im done 121 and 1603 time to call it a day
10:25 am
stevedallas

too bad aeroport is not acceptable
10:27 am

12:23 pm
ConXshun

tarn IS a word!! its a scottisch lake. a collection of water in a combe or hole shape thing formed by a glacier... hmpf
12:24 pm
jlm_mi

conXshun - will it not take tarn for you? Took it for me. Maybe keep trying.

And for everyone who didn't have it already, a freebie!
12:27 pm
ConXshun

So what is kerry gonna do for 7 letters? prattle, burble, babble, kiss babies, wave, sing, be stunning....
erm
help?
12:28 pm
ConXshun

that's strange... it didn't take tarn for me in a last grid either!
I'll keep trying, maybe I can catch it off guard at some point.
12:29 pm
jlm_mi

He's going to *put forth* the platform on which he's running.
12:37 pm
ConXshun

now 'put forth' must be a good clue. Maybe its a US word not know in UK? Maybe I'm brain dead
12:38 pm
ConXshun

aha! its taken my mountain glacier lake :)) Thanks Jlm mi for having me keep trying!
12:40 pm
jlm_mi

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary entry it's Scottish.

It's definitely not a word I would expect to hear in every day conversation. Though a variation of it, meaning one who supports something (typically an idea or a plan) is fairly common.

But, the math tells you that it either must contain: 2 P's, W & D, P&M, or H & D plus a bunch of 1-point letters. It contains 2 P's, but not next to each other.
12:44 pm
jlm_mi

Updating the letter counts. There are at least this many words starting with each letter:

18xA
10xD
2xE
5xM
7xN
4xO
20xP
23xR
20xT
9xW

If you have more and would like to share how many, it would be much appreciated. :)
12:50 pm
Daisy

I've got 6 Ms and 21 Ts.
I'm missing some you've got: 2 As, 3 Rs, and 1 W. I have the same number for the other letters. And I seemingly cannot find any more Rs.
1:00 pm
nutkin

i have 1 u word that is a 6 ltr for 21 pts
1:08 pm
jlm_mi

Thanks nutkin - great find!
1:41 pm
sapphie

is it an un- word???
1:43 pm
jlm_mi

Yes.
1:59 pm
elhombre

phew! finally, 100 words. i'm going for a few pints now. have a nice night people.
2:05 pm
sleeky

I can't make the math come out - if it's an un word, that's 4 letters worth 19 points, and they just aren't there...
2:08 pm
berekah

I finally figured it out. Remember to divide by 3 first, when figuring out how many points the individual letters have!!
2:09 pm

Okay, checking in, before I head to the Drs office.... will someone share the start letter for 7/56??
2:59 pm
ConXshun

Jli mi, are you still there?
3:02 pm
jlm_mi

Christine - W

ConXshun - I'm here for about another hour, off and on. What's up?
3:05 pm
ConXshun

can you tell me if the putting forth of the Kerry man is the same as the french relationship?
3:13 pm
jlm_mi

No, those are two different words, both for 44 points, and both using 2 Ps to get the points. The French relationship, though, does have the two Ps side by side.
3:14 pm
ConXshun

I think I'll stop for the night.I can't tell the diference anymore between words and random letters stuck together.
Thanks for all the clues people!
babble-on!
3:16 pm
ConXshun

thanks jlm mi. you did say so earlier.
My brain's gone soggy. time to stop.
a mere 89 for 1246 today.
till next time.
3:17 pm
Christine

Well, I'll be....
Thank you jim_mi ... what a very odd word. I thought I'd tried that - not because I thought it was a word, but because I've added prefix or suffix where I can - but it didn't take.
The same thing happened with TARN and another that finally didn't take.
3:17 pm
athena

is the j used at all? :-)
3:23 pm
jlm_mi

I have not yet used the J anywhere in a word. It'd be nice though. :)
3:33 pm

i have 25 A's
3:36 pm
jlm_mi

So, how 'bout them 6's? I have 14, in alphabetical order:

18
18

What has anyone else got?
3:51 pm
spappy

22 6's, but too lazy to put them in order...
3:53 pm
berekah

I don't have nearly as many as you (10) but my first is an 18, that I expect goes at or near the top of your list, as your first 18 is near the bottom.
3:57 pm
berekah

...I also have a 21 that I think goes between your first two.
4:11 pm
periwinkle

marigold, are you here? how are you doing with this puzzle?
4:33 pm

I have 18 6's (18, 30, 21, 36, 27, 24, 27, 30, 18, 24, 27, 30, 24, 18, 18, 21, 30, 21)
5:07 pm
periwinkle

it won't take TARN for me either. I've tried several times.
5:09 pm
periwinkle

I got the relationship one. But I can't figure out the Kerry.
5:29 pm
Christine

periwinkle -- it took three tries before it would accept TARN from me.
Now, the Kerry thing... think of when your husband asked you to marry him.... nut there isN't an 'S' in this puzzle....<hint, hint>
5:29 pm
fnurt

If you know what Hank Hill sells, change one letter.
5:41 pm
periwinkle

who is Hank Hill?
5:42 pm
periwinkle

it took tarn. No S, can't make propose. Still stuck..
5:53 pm
periwinkle

Christine, I finally paid attention to your clue and got the Kerry word. Never would have figured it out by myself. Actually never heard of the word.Thanks. :)
6:20 pm
periwinkle

I only have 6 A words. They are usually hard for me to find.
6:27 pm

my cousin's name (jarrod) is one we can cross off our lists.
harder to focus today, but found the lovely 8 for 60.
