1:08 pm

Christine

At 3:44am, in a list of 6s, 4t8 had four for 33 points... I still have only two of them - can we get some clues? (this is an obsession).

1:23 pm

bigbirdboss

definitions for 6's for 33:
1. a lower class Mexican
2. select
3. trick or sham
4. place to go for an education

1:34 pm

Christine

bigbidboss - thanks for the clues - I have the first two, I need a cuppa before I attack 3 and 4.

2:02 pm

runningforhome

What does the trick/sham word start with?

2:09 pm

Christine

These ARE the four words starting with C, right???

2:30 pm

3:02 pm

soho72

There's a D-7 for 32/D-8 for 45, and an L-7 for 28.

3:07 pm

4t8

137/2001. just returned and see there's quite a bit of searching to do.

3:24 pm

Christine

Wendrie - does your chart show you have 23/Cs, and of these six are six-letter words, each worth 33 points??

That's SIX words starting with C, each worth 33 points??

I'm not playing tomorrow - this is becoming a serious obsession, instead of a game.

3:44 pm

4t8

am a little confused - the 5th 6-c is a place to go for an education? because that's also the s-6/s-8...if anyone can help. i just found the one but not the other. thank you...

3:48 pm

4t8

and i just got the other 33 - it apparenly hasn't got! a definition.

3:50 pm

4t8

Christine, i have 22 c's. 5 are 6's.

3:54 pm

4t8

make that 23 - just found a 5.

4:20 pm

sleeky

Arlo Guthrie would be very ticked to know that "mooses" isn't a valid word. ;-)

6:43 pm

periwinkle

May I have a clue for the C/48, please?

6:45 pm

Atalante

*sigh* I just can't see C words today ....

6:45 pm

periwinkle

There are two C's for 48 and one C for 52 that I do not have. Any help would be much appreciated :).

6:46 pm

Atalante

C 48 is a letter added onto one of the 7 / 33 words

6:50 pm

periwinkle

I don't have any 7/33 words :(

6:51 pm

periwinkle

I found a 7/48, I added a letter to a 6/33.

6:57 pm

mommanine

there's 3 C 7/48s, and the 52 is one letter different from the second 48 (the one that means in Old English "to cheat, trick, defraud")

6:59 pm

Atalante

oops! I'm sorry, I meant 6 / 33 *blush* its late here ...

7:00 pm

mommanine

Three of the 48's are one letter more than three of the 6/33s.

7:01 pm

boatierra

periwinkle, the other C7 for 48 begins with the same three letters as the other, that you made by adding a letter to your C6 for 33. Hope that helps.

7:06 pm

periwinkle

Thanks for your help, I now have 2 c/7's for 48. The cheating word, I had never heard of. I looked it up in my crossword dictionary.

7:07 pm

boatierra

I have the D8 for 45. Could someone tell me what the 8 for 70 starts with? Thanks :)

7:08 pm

periwinkle

Got the C for 52, Thanks again. :)

7:14 pm

periwinkle

mulhermujer, A post at 2:56 pm says that the 8/70 starts with an S. Sure would like a definition cause I can't find it. :)

7:17 pm

boatierra

Starts with a S. I'll start looking. Too bad I can't make 'sesame.'

7:22 pm

mommanine

the S 8/70 is related to the S 6/33

7:24 pm

periwinkle

mommanine, Thanks so much, don't know why I didn't find that one by myself. :)

7:26 pm

boatierra

Me no have a S6 for 33. Me try looking harder.

7:27 pm

boatierra

Bugs me that 'mosh' is not accepted. Haven't these people ever been to a Pearl Jam concert?

7:34 pm

periwinkle

mulhermujer, The S/6/33, where you go to learn.

7:37 pm

boatierra

Ah, jeez, I have that. But I didn't see it when looking through my S words. Thanks.

7:37 pm

boatierra

I have it now. Thanks all.

10:09 pm

4t8

i think the c-7-48 is related to the 6th c i don't have...have the picky and tricky ones

10:43 pm

lfaerie

I have 2 C-7-48s, one related to the picky one and one to the tricky one.

10:51 pm

4t8

me too...trying to find the c-6/"place to go for an education". so missing it and the 3rd c-7.

12:01 am

bigbirdboss

4t8: trade?
place to go for an education starts with Sch...
What is a hint for the o for 40?
