61/4.25/472 so far. 3 6s for 18, 33 and 27.
This is one of those annoying grids where when you first look at it you think it's going to be packed, but after 15 minutes you want to kick it.

9:00 am
Atalante
You're missing P24 - which is arrow at the inner, and very broad at the other end - apparently
9:02 am
jlm_mi
shortseer - So, both 7 letter words have the same definition and starting letter? Odd!
9:13 am
shortseer
@jlm ... if you have one 7, then you have the other
9:22 am
jlm_mi
Thanks shortseer. I never would have thought to try that second combo!
9:23 am
runningforhome
I knew that art history class would come in handy!
9:27 am
shortseer
thanks for the help with the other P6
The 8-pointer has to start with one of the following:
A, B, H or T
Can we narrow it down any further?
9:28 am
jlm_mi
It does not start with B. I have all 9 of those, and sadly no 8.
9:33 am
shortseer
i'm missing lots of B's
I have 2xB4, 2xB5 and 1xB6
are all the missing ones 4's ?
9:40 am
shortseer
forget that ... i do have all the B's written out on paper ... i've just forgotten to enter half the words!
9:41 am
jlm_mi
No, you're missing 2 4s and 2 5s.
Assuming you have both singular and plural of the fish and the greek letter, the 5s you are missing are a vegetable (and maybe it's 4 letters singular?) and a concrete. You would then either be missing a 4 letter hebrew letter or a verb that happens in Las Vegas.
9:42 am
jlm_mi
And your last post makes more sense! The Bs seemed pretty easy this time, so I was surprised you had missed them!!!
Still down with the flu? It's been a bad one for you it seems. Hope you feel better soon! :)
9:45 am
shortseer
babble is good for the flu
i can write out the grid and keep myself occupied while tucked up in bed.
Of course, if i then forget to then put all my word list into the computer ... :(
9:54 am
stevedallas
okay Im missing a 4 and 5 B. have the veggies, the letters, the fishies and the Vegas word; what else am I missing?
9:55 am
jlm_mi
The hebrew letter and the concrete.
9:57 am

nope got the hebrew letter
9:59 am

A clue for the 8 would make it duller than it already is...
10:49 am
shortseer
Well that got me trying to enter the 8 as some variant of apathy (apatheee, apatheal, apatheae, ...)
But i've stopped that nonsense now as i've discovered the final A word is a simple A4 :)
10:57 am
jlm_mi
One more request for help - On the Ls:
I have 7x4, 2x5, 1x6
Am I missing a 4 or a 5????
Thank you!!!
11:00 am

7:11 pm

It's a Greek letter, periwinkle.
Can anyone help with the last M? I have the candy/spice and the irritation.
7:13 pm

Never mind, I got it. Can't believe I couldn't see that!

I am missing an I (eye) word. I have the 2 seven letter words. 2 4/4. and one 5/10. May I have a hint for the missing word, please.
8:17 pm
shortseer
I must be addicted.
I've come back for a look at the log even though i finished this grid ages ago.
@ periwinkle ... do you have the i4 that means:
"South American freshwater dolphin (I. Boliviensis). It is ten or twelve feet long, and has a hairy snout."
I'm glad you appreciate the clues.
Personally, i think it's more fun playing with a bit of group cooperation.
I appreciate the help i get too :)
And if i take the trouble to write out a definition, why then my vocabulary will probably benefit!
Gee I'm really going to miss it when i go back to once-a-week Babbling.
8:56 pm
Christine
I'm sooo confused... I have two questions... I don't know if this is a clue for one word or more? E6 - opposite of logos - worth 24 points.. I have what I think is the answer, but it's worth 33 points?
Second question... was there a clue for a lette of the Greek alphabet, M5 or M6? I don't know of such a Gr.letter??
9:05 pm
Christine
Oops... that made me seem even more inept.. I have E5/16 and P6/33... two good, acceptabl;e words, but not a 6/24, so now where am I.
I think I'll get back to the Ls and Os.
9:15 pm
marigold
Christine....I have a B 6/24.
It is various species of small brightly colored long finned fresh water fishes of the genus. It is like the second greek letter starting with a B the, just add on letter in the middle
9:31 pm
Christine
Oh, Marigold, thank you...I have the fish, but I can't see the connection to Logos...or am I still up a tree on this one?
74 words for 740 points - perhaps I should reread the chat, see if I can find some more words.
Thanks again, luv.
