Don't give me puzzles - I didn't sleep Fr. night, went to a guild meeting until 4:00pm Sat., and just awoke after sleeping the sleep of the dead - haven;t had 7hrs. sleep since I was a kid..... and now you want me to figure out a seven letter word? I don't think so.
But isn't my little sister(MAL) a clever little girl?
<off to try to figure out this clue>

hmmm, haven't been here for ages!
First word I got was a 9Letter H word - it's an adjective smaller word of 5 letters and add 4 letters to make 9Letter word!

Is the 9 letter h word the 90 pointer or have I found another ? (some hopes!)
1:36 pm

If you have a nine letter h word worth something other than 90 points, then I think you've found another.
1:50 pm

I have at least 8 words starting with G.

"At 05:55 am Christine said...

Good Afternoon chaz, it is 3:20 pm. Went to the movies with my sister. Back now. How are you doing with this game?
2:34 pm
boatierra
The only two words "without any vowels" that I know of are 'cwm' and 'crwth,' so I am trying to figure out what another one might be. What's the first letter, and what's the meaning of the word?
2:34 pm
periwinkle
What does the 9 letter M word end with. I have the base word but cant find the ending.
2:35 pm
periwinkle
I am not doing well finding the big words today :(
2:37 pm
periwinkle
lawyer, does your 4 letter word with no vowels start with t? If so I have it too.
2:42 pm
soho72
The word without any vowels is an expression of frustration or annoyance.
2:50 pm
periwinkle
does the 2nd 9 letter H word start with HA?
2:51 pm
marigold
what does the sixteenth and seventh 7 for 40 start with. Please
2:51 pm
soho72
It does start with HA. Is there also an M for nine?
2:52 pm
Boo
Can anyone tell me what the definition of the 9-letter H word is?
2:52 pm
boatierra
Thank You soho72, your definition totally helped for finding the 4 ltr T voweless word.
2:53 pm
soho72
The 7th starts with an M, the 16th with a T.
2:54 pm
soho72
You're welcome. I'm usually not very good at thinking up clues.

3:04 pm

I've only got 1 x9 letter h, the one for 90 - been off watching tv for a bit, back now.

Anyone about ? I get the impression there are several 9 letter words. Is this true ?

Yes, but no one wants to help us :(

It sounds like there are 2xH, and maybe an M, but I'm very confused.

lawyer-1, I have not been playing all day. I already had the 4 letter word with no vowels. Your clue for the 9 letter word for 72 has not helped me. But thanks anyway.
3:54 pm
lawyer-1
Peri, just get in your boat, but don't go far and you will have 72 points. Then meet me at the bar!
(That last sentence has nothing to do with the clue, but I decided to be a bit poetic.)

Hi all - does anybody know how many we are playing for today??

Are there two 9 letter H words in this puzzle? How many 9 letter words are here
4:57 pm
periwinkle
Is there really a 9 for 90 starting with an H. If so, may I please have a clue for it? :)
4:58 pm
periwinkle
Nevermind, I already have it. Silly me. :)
4:59 pm

I believe there is only one h-9, the other n starts with n. There is a h-8, though.
4:59 pm

Whoops, that should read 'the other 9 starts with n'...
5:00 pm

runningforhome, Thanks I have all of them.
5:27 pm

I gave a clue for the h for 90 at 3.04 this time. I could still do with a sandwich clue - is it one of those pastrami on rye things ? (whatever that is.....)
5:31 pm

Latest stats, please. So I can find out what I am missing. Is anyone here?
5:32 pm

a clue for the sandwich is: a submarine sandwich or a po'boy
