1:00 am

jeff

1:01 am

jeff

four out of the last five grids have scored under a thousand points. This is the lowest scoring week ever. I can just bet that the amount of people playing everyday is dropping.

1:36 am

4fun

The 6-letter word for 33 points aptly describes this grid!

2:13 am

mellowmasher

I agree this is the worst I have seen

7:22 am

marigold

7:54 am

GeneralVanya

has anybody used the Qu?

8:15 am

4fun

I haven't used the Qu anywhere.

8:44 am

SweetPea

new to babble...this is not for the simple minded. My eyes are going crossed looking for words.

8:47 am

jlm_mi

It's unfortunate to stumble across this puzzle if you're new to babble. It's a very poor one, with very few words to find. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better one for you.

Thanks for the encouragement jlm_mi

Kirsty1

I am completely rubbish in comparison at the mo, but I do have 5 Fs so far.

I have 8 L's (7 4's and 1 5)

9:28 am

jlm_mi

Anyone care to share what the 6/33 starts with?

9:29 am

mellowmasher

f and its what this grid is

9:33 am

fixitfmly

I was trying to make that same word -- but this is the UK spelling.

9:34 am

jlm_mi

Aha! I kept trying to make it to, the US way, but that doesn't exist. Then I was trying it with an O instead of an A. Got it!

9:39 am

mellowmasher

44/416 this stinks hows everyone else doing

9:39 am

jlm_mi

42/397

9:40 am

berekah

It won't take it for me! (the 6-letter word) I'm almost positive I have the right word...it fits the math and the descriptions...but it won't take it! Guess I'll just keep trying.

9:41 am

stevedallas

36 326

9:43 am

stevedallas

37 and 369

9:43 am

mellowmasher

I have 1xi that I dont thinks been mentioned

9:49 am

jlm_mi

Does 9xL = 1x5 and 8x4? I've got 1x5 and 7x4 and thought I tried every remaining combo for 4-letter L words with no luck . . .

9:52 am

mellowmasher

Oh I am really sorry just had another look and counted the i in with the l's no I only have 8 sorry for wasting your time. You forgive me?

9:52 am

jlm_mi

Fair enough! At least now I don't have to look for L's anymore. ;)

9:54 am

stevedallas

40 for 389

9:59 am

jlm_mi

Am I correct in thinking nobody has more than these yet:

2xA
1xC
7xF
3xG
6xH
1xI
8xL
4xM
1xN
1xO
4xS
7xW

What about word lengths? I have 34x4, 6x5, 2x6.

10:00 am

MammaJill

How many 5's do you have?

I have 5...14, 14, 22, 22, 20 (in alphabetical order)

10:02 am

jlm_mi

6 5's - 12, 14, 14, 22, 22, 20

10:03 am

mellowmasher

I dont have anymore than that

10:07 am

jlm_mi

mellowmasher - I just reached the 44 words you posted earlier, and also have exactly 416 points. How odd! I know I am still missing one of the H words.

10:07 am

stevedallas

broken that magic 400 barrier
42/402

10:08 am

jlm_mi

Scratch that. Just got the H word. So now, 45/429. I guess I'll check back later to see if anyone has posted more.

10:12 am

4fun

jlm....you are missing an 'n' word

10:12 am

mellowmasher

Just got the same 45/429 we must have the same words lol

10:14 am

mellowmasher

4fun does that mean you got 2xn?

10:19 am

Kirsty1

Is there any help somebody could give me with that 5 x 20? I'm pretty sure I know what letter it must start with (duh!) but feel like I've tried all combinations and still not got it. *sigh*

10:20 am

jlm_mi

I'm pretty sure you would fall into the category of people it describes.

10:21 am

mellowmasher

Hi Kirsty think of a Richard Gere movie

10:22 am

Kirsty1

I do indeed - thanks lovely person :o)

10:24 am

Kirsty1

Gawd am I slow! Thanks for your help, the penny has finally dropped - ouch! :o)

10:29 am

mellowmasher

Na your not slow you can sit and look at the grid for hours and miss the most stupid ones... well I do anyway

10:30 am

Kirsty1

Thanks hun, this is a friendly site for a newbie :o)

10:32 am

stevedallas

44 and 421

10:33 am

stevedallas

45 and 430 gotta go its been a wild ride this morning

10:34 am

mellowmasher

No probs I know u from old anyway. Only 8 more to find but just cant see anymore think I will have to settle with 45. Hope tomorrows better

10:34 am

jlm_mi

Steve - I'm guessing you must have the 2nd N word? I don't have anything for 8 points, and I'm 1 word + 8 points ahead of you.

10:35 am

stevedallas

wonder how many folks found this from the Robin Hobb website

10:35 am

jlm_mi

I'm curious where the 53 words comes from that RFH posted earlier. The boggle solver I used indicated 46, with 2x6, 6x5, 38x4. If I can find a 4 letter N word, that's what I'll have.

10:37 am

stevedallas

only 1 n and the same breakdown you wrote earlier. wonder where I came up with the 430

10:38 am

jlm_mi

Hmmmm strange. You've got one word for one more letter than both me and mellowmasher!

10:39 am

Me too.

10:43 am

jlm_mi

That me too was for the counts, not the points. Off to compare now.

10:45 am

jlm_mi

My N word is only worth 6 points. Off to find one for 7. ;)

10:47 am

jlm_mi

And there you go, 2xN, 46/436.

10:47 am

stevedallas

oooh thanks for the hint now 46 and 436

10:49 am

nutkin

is there really only 53 words? anyone know?

10:49 am

fnurt

There is a famous hockey player in the grid. You can change the last letter to make a 13-point word that has no meaning to me whatsoever.

10:50 am

stevedallas

i think there is only 46 words however...

10:50 am

jlm_mi

I think there may be only 46 words.

10:51 am

Mrs Often

The solver I use also gives 46 words... But it's been wrong before. And runningforhome said down near the bottom that there should be 53 words, so I suppose our solvers don't know as many words as theirs.

10:51 am

runningforhome

Nutkin - I checked the count on a solver (didn't look at the words though ;) ) and that was what it gave me. There might be a couple more or less; their dictionary might not match Babble's.

10:52 am

nutkin

that still seems like a lot for this grid

10:54 am

jlm_mi

So far we've got at least 2 people with the same word count/score and a third who is missing one word to reach that score.

If anyone finds more words per letter than listed below, please do tell!

10:57 am

fnurt

46/436 too. That list of all the point values in alphabetical order might have been a bit too much info, as it turns out! :)

10:58 am

nutkin

i'm at 42/409

11:03 am

StÃ©

I have a question about the C's word (sorry for my english, I'm french!).
I see that all of you have one C, and I have one too, but mine has 4 letters, does your's have too?

11:04 am

jlm_mi

Yes, my C word is also 4 letters, for 6 points.

11:05 am

Mrs Often

Yep Sté, four letters for the C word

11:12 am

runningforhome

My apologies everyone - there ARE only 46 words. I checked the solver again and realised when I'd put in the grid, I'd reversed the o and a in the second row which makes for a few more words.

11:14 am

StÃ©

Thank's!

11:18 am

StÃ©

My first 6!!

11:19 am

Kirsty1

46/436 phew. Off to find an early grave :o)

11:28 am

soho72

There are at least 6xf

11:32 am

soho72

Sorry. I guess that's old news. I need to learn to refresh the screen before I post.

12:28 pm

jmbdobie

44 words 423

can't see the two n words

12:44 pm

fixitfmly

the only N I have so far is usually seen with the ending -tode

12:49 pm

fixitfmly

found the second N -- here's the definition:
A woman born in the state of villeinage; a female serf.

12:50 pm

berekah

any clues for the words starting with vowels? I got one of the As, but can't get any of the others. Are they (any of them) common words, or should I keep guessing and trying random combinations?

1:00 pm

jlm_mi

The A word you are most likely missing is a French word, or an alternative spelling of a girl's name. 4 letters.

The I word is the plural of an internal body part. Most people probably have never heard of it. 4 letters.

The O word is similar to one of the A words. 4 letters.

1:01 pm

jmbdobie

Thanks fixitfmly !
It appears I totally forgot about the N in the first row. I was fixated on the other N.
46 words 436
I must close my eyes for a minute or two now!

1:07 pm

berekah

Thanks!...got the i. I actually got the french a-word. Is the o-word similar to that one, or the other one (that I haven't figured out)?

1:11 pm

jlm_mi

Aaah - The O word is similar to the other A word. Both are for 6 points.

1:17 pm

berekah

are they common words? Am I staring right at them???
Those two words, and two of the 4 starting with m, are all I have left. I've never been this close!!
Are you still playing, jlm, or just hanging around to help? Thanks for your clues!

1:19 pm

jlm_mi

I think I have all the words, so I'm just popping in over here to see how others are doing, and to see if anyone found more words than me. ;)

The A and O words are pretty common. The A word is probably said at least once daily in many households, often just before a meal.

1:20 pm

berekah

oops! I got it, just as your post came up. Thanks!!!
So now just two m-words. Maybe they'll jump out at me too :-)

1:20 pm

fixitfmly

46/436 Whoohoo! ;-D This is a first for me to get all the words (happy dance!)
Kicked myself for missing the gardening word yesterday -- I have spirea in my landscaping! ;-P Not so many truly obscure words in today's grid . . . and I'm recognizing some from previous grids! ;-)
Happy babbling all!

1:26 pm

jlm_mi

berekah - There are two pretty common M words and two more obscure. One doesn't have a definition at dictionary.com and the other has a definition. Actually, I guess you do see that word sometimes in the US, but as a type of food, not as its dictionary definition.

1:30 pm

majenwen

I'm missing the 5 for 14, I think it starts with an S?? Any hints?

1:33 pm

berekah

hint: it doesn't start with s!
The dictionary definition is: The threshold of a physiological or psychological response.
To me, it's a common word with a letter added on. :-)

1:34 pm

berekah

sorry...saw the other one, the one you meant. the one starting with s is a pretty common word...relating to a movie or a play...

1:39 pm

Tolinya

wow this puzzle stinks...

1:39 pm

runningforhome

I cannot for the life of me find the last m-word! I think it's the food one... unless it's the other common one and I'm just blind.

1:40 pm

runningforhome

Never mind, I found it... that's all of them.

1:42 pm

jlm_mi

Actually, I think I was wrong about the M as food. I think it's spelled a little differently for the food.

1:42 pm

majenwen

thanks - found it
one more to go

1:52 pm

majenwen

and done
this is the first one I've completley solved :)

1:55 pm

boatierra

Do any of the F words have two F's in them? Right now I have three F words, all with one F.

1:56 pm

majenwen

all the F words use only 1 F

1:56 pm

berekah

just one per.
I think I'm blind...maybe some time away from the 'puter will help.

1:57 pm

Tolinya

how many words you got mul?

1:58 pm

majenwen

all the F words are common 4 letters, except for the 6

1:58 pm

boatierra

20

1:58 pm

Tolinya

18 here..sigh

1:59 pm

boatierra

Are any of the F words more than 4 letters? The three I have are all 4 letters long.

1:59 pm

Tolinya

got a wierd l word...clue was given earlier..didn't realize it was a word..just did a typo it's the l for 14 (whoohoo)

2:00 pm

boatierra

There's a clue for an N word at 12:49. Did you get that one? I just plugged the definition into Yahoo.

2:02 pm

boatierra

Thanks majenwen - just saw your post.

2:03 pm

Tolinya

would you freakin' get out of my brain!!!! i just did that

ROFL

2:04 pm

Tolinya

anyone got a clue for the c?

2:05 pm

Tolinya

and i've got 2 m's one is common one is similar to a chinese food..just a little mixed up

2:06 pm

boatierra

The C word is the letter C, spelled out, and plural. Does that make sense? I finally got a 5 letter word!! One of the G's, staring right at me.

2:07 pm

berekah

The 4-letter, 9-point M-word...can you tell me what 4-point letter it has in it?

So it looks like I got the "food" word, but not one of the two common ones. Definitely need some time away from the board. But it's hard when I'm so close!

2:07 pm

boatierra

Your child is being totally adorable :)

2:08 pm

Tolinya

um ok one of the g's is a command you would give to a horse or an ox?????

2:09 pm

Tolinya

bere-clue for m word 5280 ft

2:09 pm

Tolinya

that's always good when he's cute..hehe

2:09 pm

majenwen

the M word for 9 is a common word - it's past tense

2:09 pm

berekah

thanks, have that one. and the chinese food. it's the other two that are tormenting me ;-)

2:10 pm

majenwen

Tolinya - yes

2:11 pm

boatierra

I have three G's, and none of them are an animal command word.

2:12 pm

majenwen

berekah - one of the M doesn't have a definition, but think of a French word

2:12 pm

boatierra

Or maybe I should look up the definiton of my words before I post...

2:14 pm

SummerBreeze44

berekah-an M

2:15 pm

SummerBreeze44

bere-sorry- a W

2:15 pm

SummerBreeze44

bere-sorry- a W

2:16 pm

berekah

thank you! I never would have guessed, but process of elimination helps :-)
(it's a common word? Really? I dont' think I've ever used it!)

2:20 pm

boatierra

K, doin' better, I'm up to 25 words. Twenty-three 4's and two 5's. Wee-who (not really). Gotta feed myself and entertain the kid.

2:20 pm

majenwen

I take it you're not responsible for the yard?

2:24 pm

Tolinya

2:24 pm

Tolinya

Maje good hint..lol

2:24 pm

majenwen

2:27 pm

Tolinya

2:34 pm

majenwen

hints for the 5's:
-a type of bird (12)
-The threshold of a physiological or psychological response (14)
-relating to a movie or play (14)
-add a letter to a 4 for 10, starts with a W (22)

Tolinya

3:33 pm

jlm_mi

There's an F9 there is VERY similar to your first F9. There's a 6 letter F33 that is the British spelling of a bodily waste product.

3:43 pm

3:53 pm

majenwen

Tolinya - the last H word is similar to the 4 for 10, just one letter different

4:22 pm

ladyles2763

Got stuck on a silly h word but
46/ 4.22/436!!!!
This wasn't the best grid but it's my first time getting all words. Thanks for all the clues everyone.

4:23 pm

Christine

This game should be used in school - already, today, I've learned three new words, reaquainted myself with two I rarely hear, and never use, in day-to-day conversations.
As kids, we played word games, but today.... they're definitely missing something that could help the kids.
So far, I have only 36 words,but I plan to go for broke, today, so g'bye!

4:27 pm

Tolinya

got the 'i' word

4:32 pm

Tolinya

ok and the last h means WHAT??? it took it it's for 13???

4:33 pm

Tolinya

4 l's to go then i'm onto m's and s's and w's UG

4:39 pm

berekah

I got the last word! I did it! (with the help of my husband...)

4:40 pm

MammaJill

WOW!!!! I actually did it!!! Thanks for the hints...they really helped! :)

4:41 pm

Christine

RFH said there's 53 words, but a couple of players rejoiced at 46/436... I have 36 words, so am I looking for 10 or 17 more words?

4:45 pm

Tolinya

10 more words...that person that posted said they switched the a and the o or vice versa

4:50 pm

Christine

Thank you, Tolinya.
Is there anything higher than a five?
I have 30/4s and 6/5s..... onward, ever onward.

5:09 pm

MammaJill

Christine...there are 2 6's

5:14 pm

jlm_mi

Christine - There are full word counts per letter, word counts per length, and even a listing of word point values in the log below, mostly from mid-morning.

5:22 pm

elphaba

So are there seven or eight Ls? I am missing one word somewhere and I keep screwing up which letter it starts with. Drat.

5:24 pm

elphaba

Nevermind - I figured out what I'm missing. Now I've just got to find it!

5:33 pm

Tolinya

i've got 12 words left...sigh

5:35 pm

Tolinya

it won't take LMAO????

5:36 pm

boatierra

I am having a heck of a time finding anymore words. 29 for 239. I've got all the A's, G's, and the C, N, and O.

5:36 pm

Tolinya

are any of the l's 6?

5:37 pm

boatierra

Not that I know of.

5:37 pm

Tolinya

oh for g*d's sake I MISSED THAT WORD?>???

5:38 pm

Tolinya

7 left 7 left

5:39 pm

boatierra

kid is up.

5:41 pm

Tolinya

ok i'm stuck....m's need 1 more 6, 6, 9 suggestions?

the slightly similar to chinese food related
5280 ft

5:42 pm

periwinkle

Are there two words that begin with i

5:43 pm

Tolinya

from what i've read only 1

5:49 pm

Tolinya

AAHHHH stuck need 1 m 1 s and 3 w's

5:53 pm

jlm_mi

Tolinya - For your M pluralize the 3-letter name of an old movie star (female). It's not a word I've ever heard except for the first name, and even then it's pretty uncommon.

5:54 pm

Christine

Thanks, jlm_mi (incidentally, until today I've called you JIM_MI).
Now I need to go thru' the posts, find what I'm missing....

5:55 pm

Tolinya

good clue thanks

5:56 pm

Tolinya

now s's i've got 6 24 4

5:58 pm

jlm_mi

You're missing a 4/10 and a 5/20 in W. You'll kick yourself when you find the 4/10 because you already have it in another word. ;) The 5/20 describes you and mulhermujer together, as one example.

6:14 pm

Tolinya

6:14 pm

Tolinya

6:47 pm

Christine

Still have a couple of weebles stuck away, from when DH was a tiny.

I need 1 each F and L, two Ws.

6:58 pm

periwinkle

Still need 1 L, 1M and 1W.

6:59 pm

periwinkle

Have no idea what the last H word for 13 means. Thanks for the clues.

7:16 pm

periwinkle

WOO HOO, found the last M, Still need one L and one W. Does the L word or W word have 5 letters?

7:18 pm

Christine

So, in addition to learning new words, I also got a chance to brush-up my high school French, by eavesdropping on Ste et FFFF (does that stand for Free French Fight Forever??
Is it EAVESdropping, if you're reading?)
Why can't I find the rest of the words?

7:21 pm

Tolinya

i think it's eyesdropping..instead of eavesdropping..lol

7:22 pm

periwinkle

Found the last W. YEA. Now just need a four letter L word.

7:22 pm

Tolinya

do you have the english spelling for the stuff in the toilet?

7:24 pm

Venka

Somebody please help me with the 6letter F word that goes in the toilet. The one I'm thinking of is 5 letters and doesn't quite happen in this grid. Auuggggggh!

7:24 pm

Tolinya

going to go work out..will check back in a bit...my weeble butt needs some work HAHAHAAH

7:27 pm

majenwen

Venka - It's the UK spelling of the word you're thinking of. Try starting with the other F

7:28 pm

periwinkle

I can't find the last L word. I have all of the obvious ones. Any clues?

7:37 pm

Venka

Wait, someone else had the same problem, duh. Plus it was almost simulposted. Thanks. lol

7:40 pm

Venka

Still need 2f, 1h, 3l, and 1n

7:43 pm

periwinkle

YEA for me. I finally found all of the words. First time ever!

7:48 pm

marigold

Woooooo Hoooooooo
I got them all

7:49 pm

marigold

First time ever

7:54 pm

Venka

Scratch the l's... guess I just needed to post that to find them. Now for the 2f's, 1h and 1n!

8:00 pm

Christine

eavesdroppers -- icicles.

8:24 pm

Christine

Aaargh - I'm missing only one word - an F4 for nine points - now, how much easier could it be, to find the bloomin' thing?

8:33 pm

jlm_mi

Christine - Do you have an obscure F/9? If not, it's very, very similar in spelling to one of your other F/9's.

8:40 pm

Christine

jlm_mi - other than the one related to the bowel, all are eveyday words. I know the word must contain an S or an M to get the 9points... how difficult can this be.... so near, so near...

8:48 pm

Christine

Now, this is serious.. in my hour of need, I'm out of teabags AND diet Pepsi. I may have to resort to the hard stuff... I'm off to the supermarket; I can't handle this alone - I need a cuppa.

8:55 pm

Christine

Taa Daa !! for the first time ever, I have ALL the words... thanks in great part to the clues posted.

11:01 pm

boatierra

Finally! The F 6 letter for 33. Upwards and onwards!

Ah well, didn't have time to find the last four. Thanks for all the clues, though!

11:41 pm
