Christine

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>
1:18 am
fixitfmly

I have 2 M8s -- 50 & 55, both start with the same 4 ltrs
1:20 am
fixitfmly

Christine --
It begins S and means 'lively and spirited' ;-D
1:32 am
Christine

Fixit....that would be with two__s in the middle? Yep, that's my girl.
1:41 am
fixitfmly

There must be oodles of big words out there -- I'm usually slow to get those and I have 8x7 and 4x8 and I don't have the R8/60 or the H9/90 yet!
It's almost 2 AM here and I need to go to bed!!

8:01 am
marigold

What letter does the fire word start with. Please
8:05 am
Atalante

Is the 9 two words joined up or one proper big word????
8:13 am
marigold

The 9 letter word is a 5 letter word with a suffix added
8:15 am
The Goddess

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!
Fire Word easy - don't think too hard, starts with R.
8:19 am
periwinkle

Got the fire word. Still working on the 9 letter H word.

Thanks lawyer 1. I found it as well

My cats tend to caroom around a lot .. but the dictionary won't have it!
Is the 9 letter h word the 90 pointer or have I found another ? (some hopes!)
1:36 pm
soho72

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

I have at least 8 words starting with G.
2:06 pm
soho72

Put a fifteenth 7 for 40 between the 40 and the 48.
2:08 pm
marigold

Thanks Lawyer I got it. the 9 for 72
2:17 pm
soho72

And a sixteenth seven for 40 before the first 40.
2:23 pm
boatierra

"At 05:55 am Christine said...
Oops - that should've been mulhermujer - seem to have lost the end of your name - sorrry about that."

That's OK. There was a discussion of my screen name during the last puzzle. Mul, mul, MM, mm, mulher, its all good :)
2:24 pm
periwinkle

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.
2:58 pm
Boo

They don't take swear words, do they?
3:02 pm
marigold

yes
3:03 pm
lawyer-1

Peri - yes
3:04 pm
dimwit

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

Mine is being mean or stark conditions. Does anyone have a definition for the other one ?
3:10 pm
periwinkle

eyezzzz, May I please have a clue for your favorite sandwich?
3:41 pm
dimwit

Anyone about ? I get the impression there are several 9 letter words. Is this true ?
3:42 pm
periwinkle

Yes, but no one wants to help us :(
3:45 pm
soho72

It sounds like there are 2xH, and maybe an M, but I'm very confused.
3:46 pm

3:50 pm

I have 8x8
3:51 pm
periwinkle

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.)
4:10 pm
Kirsty1

Hi all - does anybody know how many we are playing for today??
4:14 pm
soho72

Someone said 293.
4:16 pm
Kirsty1

Oh my....! I'm on 264 and pretty much stuck. Thanks for the info Soho72 :o)
4:17 pm
soho72

264? I can't get to 200!
4:21 pm
Kirsty1

Well, I am in the UK so I've probably got a six hour advantage on you! 267/5.1/4596 - but only one 9 :o(
4:23 pm
runningforhome

lawyer-1, thanks for the clue on the 72 pointer!
4:27 pm
dimwit

I've yet to get 100 and I've been working hard for ages! Not fair ! Still cannot get the sandwiches either. (so I made my own :) )
4:35 pm
Kirsty1

Well I think I'd have to make my own too, because I don't believe they sell that particular type of sandwich over here...
4:51 pm
periwinkle

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
runningforhome

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

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

May I have the latest stats, please?
5:17 pm
periwinkle

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

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
periwinkle

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

a clue for the sandwich is: a submarine sandwich or a po'boy
5:48 pm
dimwit

nope - still cannot get it, thanks for clue though, which h is it and does it go ho, ha or hi ?

the 9n word is also the name of a laundry detergent
6:15 pm

Whoops! I should have said ho ho ho!

Different word.
7:58 pm

Periwinkle, d'you still need the clue for H9/90?
Think of a word meaning 'stern', and add a fourletter suffix.
Hope this helps?

i tried that last night...back to the drawing board, then. thanks.
8:41 pm

10:29 pm
xena

can't see the n9. care to hint please?
I've been looking for quite awhile. :(
10:42 pm
fnurt

The n9 is a combo of a n4 and a s5. You have probably never heard the compound word they form.
10:49 pm
xena

thanks fnurt I'll keep looking. Sounds like a tough one.
10:51 pm
fnurt

Are there really SEVENTEEN O's? I have like 6...
10:53 pm
boatierra

Out of 8 N's I have 2, and out of 56 S's I have 29. Could you please give the meaning of the compound N 9 ltr word? That might help a lot.
10:55 pm
fnurt

lawyer gave a good clue earlier. something about getting in your boat and not going very far.
10:55 pm
xena

oh my gosh I found the n9!!!
I only have 5 o's.
10:57 pm
fnurt

I have 9 O's now. 4 of them start with OO!
10:57 pm
xena

6 o's 10 to go
11:02 pm
boatierra

Got it!!! Thanks All :)
11:05 pm
boatierra

OK, the R 8 ltr for 60 is totally eluding me. I know its what one does to a fire when it is dying. Beside properly putting it out (I'm a daughter of a forester), I can't seem to come up with a R word. Any more clues??
11:08 pm
sleeky

Wrong kind of fire! That threw me off too. Think fireplace.
11:10 pm
Riff

sort of the opposite of putting it out ;)
11:11 pm
boatierra

*picturing a fireplace......* Arg, besides roaring, not getting it. Think of a fireplace as in its structure, function,...??
11:15 pm
Christine

Mulher, think this way - you bank the fire, before you go to bed, and in the morning you RE,-,-,-,-,- it,
Hope this helps.
Remember - keep the home fires burning.

Oh!! Got it, Thanks All :)
