11:04 am
Lowes48

there is a 4/9 and 6/33 that relates to the 8/70...
11:04 am
jlm_mi

And an 8/65 and another 6/33 as well. ;)

berekah

Any help coming from the Buffalo connection today? :-)
12:19 pm
jlm_mi

I have all of the words starting with:

E, F, I (i), K

and most starting wtih:

L, N (missing just one of each)

I'm missing a few for the remaining letters and would love some help on them. Happy to help with the ones I do have in return. :)
12:36 pm
Treble99

any clues for 6 33
12:41 pm
Karin

If there are 7 n words they go ;
4/4 , 4/6, 4/5, 4/6, 4/4, 6/18, 4/5 .
12:49 pm
jlm_mi

Thanks Karin.
12:54 pm
jlm_mi

Treble9 - The clue given earlier is that it relates to a 4 letter word for 9 points. I've only found three of those so far (and one is a bit obscure). If you have any of those, start there. If not, or if you don't think you have the right one, there really aren't very many ways to make a 4 letter word with that many points. It does not use the K.
12:55 pm
Treble99

can you help with the 8 70
12:57 pm
Karin

jlm_mi.Have you got that last l word i`m missing one too , but do you want what I have ?
1:00 pm
jlm_mi

Treble99 - Those clues for the 4 and 6 will eventually lead you to 2 8s, a 70 and a 65.

Karin - I have not yet found the last L. I have:

5x4, 1x5, 5x6, 3x7

Do you have something different?
1:00 pm
Karin

That didn`t sound too good but I think you know what I mean.
1:04 pm
Karin

jlm_mi.I have 6x4 L`s. Have you got the one in the bottom right corner?
1:06 pm
jlm_mi

Nope, didn't have that one. You learn (several) new words every day! So, have you figured which one you're missing?
1:10 pm
Karin

jlm_mi. Yes thanks just looking now.
2:05 pm
jlm_mi

Did Babble hang up for anyone else for a while? There was quite some time I couldn't get in, but I exited netscape and got back in and it worked, so not sure if it was me.
2:15 pm
Christine

So, Karin... this thing you've got - pehap's there's a support group, for it (or for them what's got it?)
2:23 pm
Karin

Christine . Your`e welcome to any help at any time if I can give it .
2:30 pm
Christine

You're a good girl... y'know, I'm considering dropping Judith and Marianne, finding new sisters, so....
(They don't even answer my emails... what's a Big Sistah to do?)
2:43 pm
Treble99

I haven't got any 7s 8s or 9s
2:44 pm
runningforhome

Three eights but not a seven to be found.
2:46 pm
MammaJill

I just got an 8 for 60!
2:48 pm
jlm_mi

The point values for 4 of the 5 8s and 6 of the 7 7s are:

8: 70,65,45,60
7:44,28,32,28,40,40

The first 2 8s have been discussed throughout the log as starting from a 4 for 9 points. The third 8 is also a 5, but it is not generaly heard in that form. The 4th 8 is a 6-27 with a suffix.

The first 7 is a prefix on a 5-14 that I found by accident. The 2nd 7 rhymes with the 8-45 and starts with a 4 letter word. The next 2 7s have the same 5-letter base with 2 different prefixes. The 5th 7 adds an e to a 6 letter word that is very common for 27 points. The 6th 7 might be heard in a cowboy film. :-D
2:49 pm
jlm_mi

It is interesting that none of my 7s are related in any way to any of my 8s! But, I'm still missing at least one of each (not sure what the mystery word is yet), so who knows?
3:20 pm
claws

the last 8 is an r8 for 45
3:23 pm
claws

the last 7 is a m7 for 36. It may be an extension of an m4 for 6, but I don't know what the definition is. I just tried it and it worked.
3:27 pm
MammaJill

It won't take amore? :(
3:29 pm
jlm_mi

Thanks for the clue to the 7, claws (still looking for the R8). I have done a bunch of searches and not found a definition either. Some pretty funny stuff comes up though - apparently there is a porn star with that word for her last name. LOL!
3:43 pm
jlm_mi

How about S words?

I have 6x4, 4x5, 1x6 and am missing one. Anyone else?
4:32 pm
Mal

Christine you have mail.
5:12 pm
MammaJill

jim_mi...I have same s's as you...mine are 8 sa's and 3 sk's...how about you?
5:17 pm
jlm_mi

The same. Darn! I hoped I'd find a difference, LOL!

I'm also still looking for As, Ds and Rs. I'll list mine for those, but then I have to head out for a while. Hopefully when I return someone will have compared!

A: 4x4, 7x5, 3x6
D: 18x4, 5x5, 13x6, 3x8
R: 20x4, 9x5, 6x6
5:26 pm
Treble99

I cant find any 7 or 8s
5:31 pm
MammaJill

A's: 5X4, 4X5, 2X6
D's: 17X4, 5X5, 9X6, 2X8 (all less than jim_mi)
5:42 pm
MammaJill

I found the R8!! :)
6:42 pm
MammaJill

How about e's?
I have 3X4, 2X5, 3X6 and am missing one...
6:43 pm
marigold

Is there a definition for the r 8. please
6:59 pm
MammaJill

It is a 4 letter base word with a prefix and a suffix...something you do with money.
7:11 pm
marigold

mammaJill......Thanks got it.
7:13 pm
marigold

I have the same numbe of e's that you have. I will keep looking .
7:13 pm
marigold

Is there a definition for the 8 for 70. please
7:54 pm
jlm_mi

MammaJill - You are missing a 7 letter E. It is worth 44 points and is a prefix on a 5 for 14.
8:04 pm
Christine

Marigold -- wet, or wet-ish
8:05 pm
Christine

Sorry, Marigold, I meant WETTRD
8:07 pm
Christine

OMGosh, this is the correct spelling: WETTED.
If this is misspelled, I'll just post the word!
8:25 pm
marigold

Chrstine.... Thanks I got it.
8:32 pm
marigold

i am missing the last 8. it is the 8 for 60. Is there any clues. please
8:33 pm
Christine

I can't find an I-word,, and only one K4/8.
Back to the saltmines.
8:37 pm
Christine

Aha, Marigold, think of a cute Asian beastie, then misspell it... you'll get P6/27 and P8/60 - plus a smile for the critter.
8:43 pm
marigold

Thanks Christine..... I got it. I really appreciate your help.
8:59 pm
marigold

I found the I word it has 5 letters and is 12 points.
muslim edict, a sultan's decree
9:05 pm
runningforhome

Can anyone help me with the last k-word? I have 4/11, 4/8, 5/18, 6/33.
9:11 pm
marigold

The k word is 4 letters and means a irish foot soldier
9:21 pm
jlm_mi

Actually, you already have the foot soldier. It's either a smoking material such as hemp, or an undefined word, also 4 letters, same number of points as the hemp.
9:23 pm
runningforhome

I have that one already, but thank you anyway.
9:24 pm
runningforhome

Oops, that was for marigold...
9:26 pm
Christine

Thank you for the I word - when I tried that earlier today, it was rejected <snarl>.
9:31 pm
periwinkle

marigold, thank you, but I still need the r/8.
9:35 pm
dimwit

the r 8 is making money again, could I have a clue for the 5 letter k please
9:36 pm
periwinkle

dimwit, thanks, I found it before I read your post.
9:43 pm
dimwit

Another plea
for the k 5/18 please ?
9:46 pm
periwinkle

dimwit, do you have the k/4 for 8, if so just add an e to the end
9:48 pm
Rabbit

the k 5/18 is made from your k 4/8 .
9:48 pm
dimwit

Thanks, silly me ( again ) got the 4 and 6, didn't think to try the one in the middle... I'd convinced myself it was something else.
9:57 pm
busymom

i see you up there rabbit, how about helping your sis
9:59 pm
Christine

Are there two words K4/8?
I now have 4/11, 4/8 and 5/18, and I know I need 6/33.. but I think there should be five words?? <big sigh>
10:03 pm
periwinkle

the k/6 is past tense of the 5/18. Yes, I believe there is another k/4 but I don't know what it is.
10:05 pm
Rabbit

my k's read like this, 4/11, 4/11, 4/8, 5/18, and 6/33.
10:06 pm
Rabbit

busymom what are you searching for?
10:07 pm
dimwit

do both k/4s start with the same two letters ?
10:09 pm
Rabbit

no, the second letters are different.
10:09 pm
busymom

rabbit - the ones that you have that i don't. i already know that you are about 50 ahead of me right now. i think i have 111 words now
10:09 pm
bibigoogles

dimwit: no they don't
10:09 pm
Rabbit

on the k 4/11's that is
10:10 pm
periwinkle

no
10:12 pm
Christine

Well, silly old me, I had the K6 (past tense of 5), and noodled the second K4; so now I'll look for the other E and three Ns.
This has been a good grid.
10:14 pm
Christine

Dimwit - the first two Ks differ in the second letter.
Thanks to eveyone who gave me clues.
10:16 pm
Christine

Rabbit and Dimwit - sorry, I really should read the chat, before I write a response...
10:17 pm
dimwit

Thanks Christine, I have it now. What strange word we learn here !
10:17 pm
dimwit

Words, I mean!
10:25 pm
Christine

Dimwit - I keep a notebook nearby, while playing this game, and note the words and definitions. I'll never use them (probably) but I'll see them next time they appear in the grid.
A word a day keeps Alzheimer's away (or something like that) use it or lose it.
10:29 pm
dimwit

Mmmm, probably more constructive than my notebook, I have one where I note down every word I know, that I find that the grid WON'T take ! Better star another one like yours :) Have to go now, busy day tomorrow.
