12:29 am
flosey

when did Lickety come aboard? do you remember?
12:30 am
broll

not too long after I started, I think, so 2005 or 2006 maybe?
12:31 am
NonoNanette

his wife joined in 05
12:31 am
NonoNanette

12:32 am
flosey

I came in 06 and I think he was here at that time but not offering clues right away
12:32 am
Lizlin

When was the 744 grid? Do you remember? It was either shortly after I joined, so was too mind-blown to attempt it, or before I join.
12:33 am
flosey

does his wife still play? I'm not aware of her
12:34 am
dizgrannie

hello....just passing through....
6:20 pm

hello friends. having once helped me discover why a particular song happened to have gotten into my head, i place great faith in the crowdsourcing potential of the babble chatroom. so... I feel like there is some really well-known, common like... story/myth/fable where there is something like really scary but it turns out to be nothing. is it just such a common trope in a lot of TV shows that's making me think there is one particular famous one?
6:20 pm
hurshy

i even feel like there is a word to describe such a thing, like, "it's only a ______", that is BASED on the story... that maybe starts with a G?
6:30 pm

7:01 pm
swmbo

I follow you but I can't think of an example
7:05 pm
hurshy

but i feel like that i was thinking it was from like, you know, a greek myth or aesop's fable or something really... non-TV... but then i thought, maybe it is just a meme ON tv and somehow that created the illusion in my head of it being so... so... fundamental.
7:05 pm
Myriam

Could use some help. ee4 any clue?
7:05 pm
swmbo

so a common theme in ancient myths like the Greek adventures, or the Iliad, or some such? Or the Brothers Grimm? Theme that have been given a modern twist for modern sensibilities?

7:07 pm
Myriam

Got it! Thank you all.
7:07 pm
swmbo

Yes I see. Will think about it as I drop opff to sleep. Sometimes a great way to solve problems is to think of them before sleep and consciously tell your brian to figure it out. It works.
7:07 pm
hurshy

but i mean you see it everywhere really - wizard of oz, the giant head is an illusion - scary shadow looks like a monster but turns out to just be a jacket hung over a chair, etc
7:08 pm
hurshy

true, and thank you swmbo! if you think of it and don't see me, maybe put it in your profile and i'll check there :)
7:09 pm
hurshy

i should also try to ask Molly, i think she was the genius who deduced where the song in my head had come from :)
7:13 pm
swmbo

OK, I am off to sleep in the arms of Morpheus. BTW regarding using your brain to solve a problem, this was studied some years ago. The subjects were given a riddle and instructed to think of it before sleeping and instruct the brain etc. The riddle they were given was this: "A man in a uniform sees an object he fears in the hands of another. He immediately turns around and runs home." Give it a try
7:25 pm
ciaobabe

i'm new here.Can anyone tell me how to play this game?i will appreciate it
7:28 pm
hurshy

it is like Boggle, you find words, the letters have to be adjacent but diagonal counts as well as horizontal and vertical, and you can't use the same tile twice within one word.
7:29 pm
ciaobabe

Thanks Hurshy,now i understand why i always cant get a word.
7:31 pm
hurshy

the points on the tiles just help you to find words because people make lists of every word in the grid that day, telling the first TWO letters, how many TOTAL letters, and how many POINTS. the point values increase more the longer the word is. in a four letter word you just read the points straight off the tiles, so COAL would be co4/5 (if it were connected). the word "PETAL", when it is in a grid, would be pe5/12 because p is worth 2 as well, and for 5 letter words you double the point values. for 6 you triple, 7 you quadruple, and so on.
7:31 pm
hurshy

4 is the shortest you can do.
7:33 pm
hurshy

usually you can find two forms of the list (one printable) by going to the link at the bottom of the page "Lickety's Babble Clues" - he uses a computer to generate them most days soon after the new puzzle appears. if Lickety doesn't happen to post, someone who solves it quickly will usually post the printable-style list in their profile, and you can ask in chat if anyone knows who has it. (MollyL and Volleymomdee) are good ones to try.
7:33 pm
ciaobabe

haha,and it is my level,4 points==
7:34 pm

i guess we are not having the same puzzle because i cant see petal
7:34 pm
hurshy

no, we have the same puzzle, PETAL was just a hypothetical suggestion.
7:35 pm
ciaobabe

oh,i see...So everyone is having the same puzzle?
7:35 pm
hurshy

we have a standing rule that you don't use words in the chat if they are in the puzzle that day - although personally i don't think that should include times when common words such as "this" and "that" appear in the grid.
7:35 pm
hurshy

yes, everyone has the same puzzle, there is one puzzle per day, it switches at midnight, central time (US).
7:36 pm
ciaobabe

Oh,now i understand why i only has 4 hours left
7:36 pm
hurshy

the number of the words in the puzzle has varied over the years i've been playing from lows in the 30s to highs over 500, 600, maybe even 700??
7:37 pm
hurshy

so when there's a small one and you finis23

scuse me, my cat cut me off mid-sentence jumping on the keyboard

Oh,so it is not like when you already finish and you can raise to another level...Alright,i like this game idea.haha
7:39 pm
hurshy

we help each other a lot, people give clues freely
7:39 pm
hurshy

but we don't like it when people feel ENTITLED to clues, if they don't understand one, two, or more clues, and they just expect people to keep giving them more...
7:40 pm
hurshy

we're only human
7:41 pm
ciaobabe

hahaha,is it mean i should pay more attention to the chat box so that i might get some clues from it?lol
7:42 pm
hurshy

sometimes we get into pun mode, where we all start making lots of puns in the chat on a theme, like the other day it was birds, and so if you like puns, that's a bonus
7:42 pm
hurshy

yes, you can get lots of clues, as well as ask for them
7:42 pm
hurshy

also, there is the free way to play, and the register and pay way to play. if you pay, you only pay one time, not annually.
7:43 pm
ciaobabe

what is the difference between them?
7:43 pm
hurshy

it used to be, but idk if he changed it, that if you play free, you get the stats below the puzzle (Tile Stats and Word Stats) for two weeks, and then they go away, and if you want to have those, you have to pay. if you pay you also can have a picture and a flag and stuff.
7:44 pm
hurshy

do you see the Tile Stats and Word Stats? they are handy.
7:45 pm
hurshy

the Tile Stats look like a mini version of the grid, and they tell you how many words you can make that START from that tile. so today, you can make 3 N words by starting at that first N.
7:45 pm
ciaobabe

Yes yes,i saw that...But my eng skills isnt good enough to develop some vocab more than 4 points...
7:45 pm
hurshy

and all three of those are not words you would use in everyday conversation, as it happens.
7:45 pm
hurshy

oh, are you Italian?
7:46 pm
ciaobabe

anyways,thanks for the help...I need to try to take a look the puzzle and see what can i get,haha
7:46 pm
ciaobabe

nono,i am malaysian haha
7:46 pm
hurshy

so, you'd be surprised, you DO know longer words, like right there you can spell "puzzle" and "develop" and "points" and "skills" which are all more than 4 letters
7:47 pm
hurshy

but many of the words - even the 4 letter ones - are very obscure (we call them "babblets") and so, if you are just learning English, you definitely wouldn't be expecting to find those. which means you wouldn't finish the puzzles.
7:47 pm
ciaobabe

haha,i mean from the puzzle.
7:48 pm
hurshy

yes but regular words appear in the puzzle :)
7:48 pm
hurshy

today is not a great example, it has fewer normal words than many puzzles.
7:49 pm
ciaobabe

haha,really?hope the next puzzle will be easy with me haha
7:49 pm
hurshy

i would venture to say that many people would say they disliked today's puzzle compared to other days.
7:49 pm
ciaobabe

wow,really? Hmm,this sounds challenging and i like challenge
7:50 pm
hurshy

well good :) welcome! fair warning: it's very addictive.
7:50 pm
ciaobabe

haha,yay!5 letters got!:)
7:50 pm
hurshy

one of our very best players, Sprite - English isn't her first language either. she's in the Netherlands.
7:51 pm
ciaobabe

well,first 14 points got
7:51 pm
hurshy

if you click on someone's picture, you can see their profile.
7:52 pm
hurshy

and then you can see what the picture is, because it is usually too small to see in the version here in chat.
7:52 pm
hurshy

<-- this is my kitten Rilla, zipped up in my sweatshirt.
7:52 pm
ciaobabe

cute Rilla
7:53 pm
hurshy

oh yeah, and proper nouns do not count, so, sometimes i play a game called Name That Proper Noun!, just to get them out of my system.
7:53 pm
hurshy

like if OBAMA were in the grid, i would say
Name That Proper Noun! recent president of the U.S.
7:53 pm
hurshy

and people would say "Obama!" and i would say "ding ding ding!"
7:54 pm
hurshy

i invented that game. :)
7:55 pm
hurshy

and when you see a word that looks like it's there but it actually isn't, we call that a phantom.
7:56 pm
ciaobabe

i know what you mean. Like implying
7:56 pm
hurshy

we also have this other funny tradition where if we asked for a clue for something, and then people gave the clue and it turned out that it was a very easy, normal word that we feel like "gee, I should have seen THAT!", we used to say, "hit me with a fish!"
7:57 pm
hurshy

and as a result, words that are easy and normal are now described as "fishy"
7:57 pm
hurshy

if you do finish a puzzle, you get a little mini video of fireworks.
7:58 pm

oh,thank you...i will pay more effort to it after work...now i have to go
