Thank you, shortseer! Nice to know there are not a 400 words in this grid! I missed one, yesterday!
3:57 am
shortseer

You missed one out of 400?
That must have been devastating
;)

There's an A7 / 36 too... Not found the A7 / 44 though...
5:33 am
Sté

H7/48!
5:57 am
sprite

shortseer, is the T8 part of a T7/8 combo?
6:02 am
shortseer

no connection to the other T's (apart from some letters in common!)

T8 ... closed containers in which plants and sometimes small land animals are kept and observed
6:06 am
sprite

Am I stupid or not? *lol* I dismissed that word 'bout a 100 times, because I was certain it could not be made in this grid. Entered it after your definition and only then I saw how it could be made!
6:09 am
shortseer

yes .. i often have the same problem particularly when there are multiples of the same letter in the grid.
Nowadays i just try the word 1st, then figure out how it works afterwards
;)
6:09 am
sprite

*lol* Good point!
6:24 am
sprite

I cannot find that 4th T7.
I have 2 with the same first 4 letters, one that takes another vowel. Can you point me in the right direction?
6:39 am

Never mind, found it!
With a funny A7/44 and a nice A8/60! (not related)

A8: born in January/February
7:58 am

The final 7 is an O28 that was in another grid not so long ago.
10:00 am
fit1

Sometimes I feel just like one of the a44 people when I can't see simple words in the puzzle
10:01 am
sprite

That must be a D7/60 thing.
10:34 am
parsec

is the D/60 related to the D 4-6 combo?
10:35 am
jlm_mi

No, but it is related to a D6/36.
10:42 am
parsec

thank you!
11:03 am
Minski

Question:

I have an A/7/44 and A/8/60 combo to do with being born in Jan/Feb (I think).

Is that A/7/44 the same as the A/7/44 word that is funny?
11:13 am
jlm_mi

No, there are (at leaast) 2 A/7/44 words. That's not the funny one.
11:52 am
granadan

r7 for 36
11:58 am
sprite

The funny A-one is the same as the A fit1 referred to at 10.00 am.
12:01 pm
Krys10

I am very sad that there will be no daquaris today :)
12:03 pm
Krys10

Just to pull all this together, I believe these are all the sevens:
A7/44
A7/44
A7/36
A7/
D7/60 (related to D6/36)
E7/36
E7/
H7/48
H7/
M7/36
N7/28
O7/28
R7/
R7/36
T7/28
T7/
T7/
T7/
(Not in alphabetical order within each letter - haven't found many yet!)
12:05 pm
jlm_mi

For the Rs and Ts they go like this, in order:

28 R
36 R

all the Ts are 28 points.
12:09 pm
sprite

filling in the blanks:
A36 (44-36-36-44)
E48 (after the 36)
H48
R28 (before the 36)
T28 x3
12:11 pm
Krys10

Thanks for filling in the blanks! Are both H7 48 points?
12:17 pm
sprite

Yes, that's right. Two very different words, but they start with the same 3.
12:42 pm
sprite

Up for the last 13 words - why do those last ones always take much more time than the rest? ;)
12:54 pm
Krys10

need help with the bat clue - would the name remind me of a large animal very unlike a bat?
12:58 pm
sprite

I don't think so. Sounds more like the backside of very small animals.
1:03 pm
claws

Yeah, that R 8 is really two four letter words put together - it is the plural form of this type of bat. Very obscure name, but the clue below ought to help you a little.
1:04 pm
claws

I could go so far as to say that it is a combination of a 4 letter R and a 4 letter M in this puzzle.
1:05 pm
Krys10

got it right away - claws' clue did it for me. what an odd name for a bat.
1:08 pm
jlm_mi

Can anyone offer a clue for the E48?
1:09 pm
sprite

For this word is was actually a help to be Dutch. In Dutch, the word for bat contains the word for mouse. :)
1:10 pm
sprite

The E7/48 is related to the E6/18.
1:14 pm
jlm_mi

Guess I'll have to start looking for an E/6/18 then. :-D
1:14 pm
sprite

Making mistakes is human... ;)
1:15 pm
jlm_mi

Yep, found the 6 as you were posting that. :) The 7? I'll find it!
1:15 pm
Krys10

helps to be a knave
1:16 pm
Treble99

Does the first word of the bat word mean behind
1:18 pm
jlm_mi

Got it!

And yes it does, Treble99.
1:30 pm
runningforhome

Hahah, yes, my favourite word is in the puzzle! It's a naughty one, a c/4/6.
1:31 pm
sprite

:)
Never thought it would take that c-word, but it did!
1:33 pm
Treble99

is there a clue for the A/7 for 36
1:34 pm
jlm_mi

It's an alternate spelling of the E/7/36.
1:34 pm
sprite

It is almost the same as the E7/36.
1:35 pm
Treble99

thanks I got it
1:42 pm
jlm_mi

H words are bugging me a bit today. Just a few left. I have:

HA4x6, HA6, HA7x2
HE4, HE5
Hi4x2, Hi5

Anyone else? Happy to help fill in on other letters if I have them.
1:44 pm
sprite

I have Ha6 x3
1:44 pm
sprite

And He5 x2.
1:49 pm
jlm_mi

Thanks!
1:50 pm
sprite

I need two more A's and one more T - just the letters with so many words you can't decently list them here! ;)
1:50 pm
jlm_mi

goforit listed the 90 S words yesterday. :-D
1:54 pm
sprite

*roflol*
So I really missed out yesterday!
1:55 pm
parsec

Well my A's could use some work, and I bet I'm not the only one. So far I have:

Ae4
Ae5x2
Ae6x2
Ah4
Ai5
Am4x3
Am5x2
An5x2
Aq4
Aq5
Ar4x3
Ar5x2
Ar6x2

A7x3 (I'm missing one of the 36's)
A8
1:56 pm

c'mon sprite, I'm decent =)
1:57 pm

I'll try it this way. I have:
Ae x4
Ah x2
Ai x2
Am x11
An x2
Aq x4
Ar x7
At x3
Can you please tell me what I am missing?
1:58 pm
sprite

*lol*
parsec, if you found the c4, you are not!
1:59 pm
sprite

You need another Ai7.
2:00 pm
jlm_mi

I know I have these that you don't:

AM4x4, AM5x3 and both A/7/36 words are AM words. I'd guess you're missing the one that is an ambrosia prepared by the Hindu gods that bestows immortality.
2:03 pm
sprite

Found another ae (thanks to parsec), so one more A to go. Anyone who knows what I am looking for?
2:04 pm
parsec

yeah, there's limited space in my brain and a list synonyms for ambrosia just didn't make the cut =) Just three more missing, if I counted right.
2:04 pm
sprite

I have Am4 x5.
2:05 pm
sprite

And Am5 x4.
2:10 pm
sprite

Got it! The last one is Am5.
2:11 pm
jlm_mi

You are missing an AM5.
2:11 pm
jlm_mi

LOL! Good timing. :)
2:12 pm
sprite

Here goes the hunt for the elusive T... and then I am done for tonight.
Ta x7
Te x11
To x9
Tr x3
2:17 pm
jlm_mi

I have the same counts as you. Let's try this:

TA4x3, TA5x4
TE4x3, TE5x2, TE6, TE7x3, TE8, TE10
TO4x5, TO5x2, TO6, TO7
TR4, TR5x2
2:21 pm
parsec

Well that helps me, sprite, but I can't help you back much--unless the T10 is a TE. If it is, then that's where your other word is.
2:22 pm
sprite

You need another Te4 and Te6.
I need another Te5.
Thanks, jlm_mi!
2:22 pm
parsec

TE6x2.
2:24 pm
jlm_mi

Actually, I was missing a TE5. I found it and now have 31 T words.
2:25 pm
jlm_mi

OK, one thing I can see is that I did miscount. For TEs I now have:

TE4x3, TE5x2, TE6x2, TE7x3, TE8, TE10
2:25 pm
sprite

And there it is!
Done, for 191 words 4.95 2777 points.
Nice grid.
If I can be of service to anyone, just say so...

2:26 pm
jlm_mi

Are you sure that there are 4xTE4?????
2:26 pm
sprite

Te4 x4 total.
2:28 pm
sprite

Speaking of miscounting. Te4 x3 it should read! Sorry...
2:29 pm
jlm_mi

Whew! Thought I was going mad. :-O
2:29 pm
sprite

Nope, that was me. ;P
2:33 pm
jlm_mi

OK, I can't believe I'm still looking for 6 R words, but I am. Here's what I've got:

RA4x5, RA5x4
RE4x3, RE5, RE7, RE8
RH4, RH5
Ri4x3, Ri7
RO4x2
2:36 pm
jlm_mi

OK, found another RA4 and RO4 at least.
2:40 pm
Minski

I have an RA/6X1

Think of Boca *****, FL and add another letter into the middle
2:40 pm
sprite

Then (I'll do my very best to count right the first time) you need:
Ra6
Re5
Re6
Ri5
2:43 pm
jlm_mi

Thanks. I just found the 2 6's, so I'm off to look for the 5s. :)
2:57 pm

There rather common words, nothing strange like emfh. ;D
2:58 pm
sprite

They are, not there. :(
3:02 pm
jlm_mi

Yep, got 'em. Same total score as you, so looks like that's really it. :)
3:03 pm

Good!
Thanks for your help and good night, all!

Almost there then... :)
Which one is missing?
5:50 pm

Thanks, sprite, got the last U word.
5:52 pm

Are you done now? Or still other letters to finish?
5:53 pm
periwinkle

sprite, would you help me with the O words. I have O 4,7,4,4,5. Three ons, ot and ou. Thanks.
5:56 pm
sprite

You need another Ot and one Or.
The O's go 4-7-4-4-5-4-5
5:56 pm
runningforhome

Are there really two RE5s? I can only find one. :(
5:59 pm
sprite

Yes, there are 2 Re5's. Both are Re-words in the sense of 'again'.
My guess is you miss the one you should do when you lost your gun.
6:00 pm
periwinkle

Thanks so much sprite .
6:01 pm
runningforhome

The gun one is the one I have... the one I'm missing is totally obvious, isn't it?
6:02 pm
runningforhome

Hah, just found it - staring me in the face the whole time. I dismissed it, thinking it wasn't possible to make. Too many of the same letters in this grid!
6:02 pm
sprite

:D Not totally, maybe.
Re5: played it again.
6:04 pm
sprite

I know what you mean, I had the same a couple of times in this grid. I took shortseer's advice to enter some words nevertheless and see what happened. ;)
6:07 pm
periwinkle

sprite, I still have lots of words to find. I will take a break and try again later. Thanks for your help.
6:20 pm

Good hunting!
