ENTIRE CHAT LOG

12:29 am
runningforhome

53 words today, I think.
12:39 am
Achates

phew, 6/24 can there be muchbetter in this one?
12:47 am
Janice

Not much better so far...6/30
1:05 am
sprite

2x 7/40.
But the 6/30 is a better description of us all. ;)
1:14 am
Janice

lol so true!
1:18 am
sprite

Good to have the indian bread again... :D
1:25 am
sprite

I wonder if runningforhome was joking or making an accurate prediction with that 53 words. Can't seem to find any reasonable amount today.
1:29 am
sprite

Another 6/24.
1:35 am
sprite

And a 6/36 as well.
Also good news for who was wondering as I did: the Z is used.
1:36 am
sprite

btw: not in the 6/36.
(sorry if that was confusing)
1:47 am
runningforhome

No, the 53 was from a solver. Just when I posted the message I'd already forgotten the precise number. :p
1:52 am
sprite

I am stuck at 53. Could that really be all? Or is this some psychological block I got from runningforhome's post? ;)
53 words 4.57 622 points is what I got. Per letter:
A7
C1
D5
H5
i1
M4
N5
O2
P11
R1
T8
W3
I'll check back later to see what differences there are, so I'll know what to look for!
1:52 am
sprite

*lol*
I should use that refresh button before posting! Okay, so this is really all? What a disappointing grid.
1:53 am
sprite

Shall I do a count of wordlength as well then?
2:03 am
sprite

34 x 4
10 x 5
7 x 6
2 x 7
And nothing really strange or at least no words that haven't been in a recent grid.
6:52 am
periwinkle

sprite, what do the 7's start with, please.
8:10 am
fit1

I do not like this puzzle nohow. I keep hitting a dead end :(
8:11 am
vamp_gurl44

11 words and i'm stuck already
8:15 am
fit1

I have 32 words, but they were not fun getting, and I keep seeing stuff that ought to be there but isn't :)
8:15 am
fit1

One 7 begins with A and refers to someone who has a habit he can't shake.
8:43 am
Atalante

A 7 about habits? I've got a 6 - now how to make it a 7 ...... *ponders*
8:44 am
fit1

atalante. Think of an drug user or alcoholic
8:45 am
sprite

I have no A7, are you sure you do not mean an A6?
Both 7's start with P and refer to a kind of fish.
8:45 am
fit1

oops. Think A6 not 7. Sorry about that :(
8:46 am
sprite

Oh, the 7's are almost the same word.
8:47 am
fit1

I only have 47 words, and I'm punchy. Can't find a C word for beans.
8:48 am
fit1

That's 37 words. ARGGGHHHH, I'm clearly losing my mind
8:50 am
sprite

For that C, think of russian royalty.
8:51 am
sprite

And it is a C4 worth 15 points... related to a T4 for 13. ;)
8:57 am
sprite

Actually, I did not like this grid very much. First time it wasn't fun. The only word I liked finding was the A6.
We'll do better tomorrow!
8:59 am
fit1

Sprite, you angel!!! Thanks. When I lost my mind I did not pass go or collect 200 bucks. Thanks for helping find two elusive words. :)
10:03 am
Kukana

I have the 6 for 30 and three 6s for 18.. any clues for the other two 6s?
10:08 am
Atalante

A6 for 24 Latin word, but still used today
10:08 am
angeelu

Not got them all myself Kukana, but I know there's a 6/24 beginning with A.
10:12 am
Kukana

Thanks Atalante, got the Latin one! I should have spotted that before :)
10:15 am
Kukana

48 words and 500 points... if the total is 53 for 622 points, I must be missing some very high-scoring words!
10:20 am
fit1

the 6 24 is an entry portico that usually has plants.
11:26 am
Kukana

What does the 6 for 36 begin with, please?
11:31 am
Kukana

Never mind, found it!
11:36 am
Atalante

give us a clue then kukana :P
11:38 am
Kukana

It starts with H and is related to the Greek word for a number
11:42 am
Atalante

thank you :)
11:44 am
Kukana

Well. This is strange. In the log, the total is given as 53 words 4.57 622 points.

I've got 52 words, 4.54, 598. Looking at the given stats I'm missing an A-4 but finding another four-letter word wouldn't increase my average to 4.57, and there's no way it could be worth 24 points! So I think there must be more than 53 somehow...
11:51 am
Kukana

Oh, forget that again. Sorry, wasting a lot of space in the log here! It's an A-6 I'm missing not an A-4. That could easily come to 24 points, LOL!
11:53 am
Kukana

Gottit :) Found it by checking the dictionary definition for an A-5, if that's any help to anyone!

So 53 words, 4.57, 622. I guess that's all for today.
1:00 pm
Treble99

Can anyone give a clue for the 2 7s please
2:11 pm
Atalante

Can someone tell me what T I'm missing?
TA 4x2 6x1
TI 4x2
TR 4x1
TZ 4x1
2:21 pm
bumblebee

Atlante,
It's a TI 5
2:24 pm
Atalante

thank you Bumblebee - how can words suddenly appear like that when you've been looking at them for hours??
2:26 pm
Atalante

LOL Kukana I had the same last word as you :)
2:39 pm
periwinkle

I have two D words both 4 letters. one DI and one DO. What am I missing?
2:44 pm
Atalante

3:13 pm
fit1

3:37 pm
fit1

I got the a. Thanks :) Now for the I, M and N. I can't believe I'm missing them. 2 are 5s and one is a 4
3:58 pm
fit1

I am missing 3 letters. is there anyone who can help? na4x2, na6, ni4 and?
I don't have the I word, and I have Mo3x4. that's all she wrote
4:04 pm
fit1

that's mo4x3, but you get the picture :)
4:25 pm
fit1

Well, I found the M word by noodling, and suddenly the I word appeared because now I know that's what I am. Soooooo, we are down to 1 N4
4:39 pm
testing

It's an NA that you're missing. Is the other M word also MO4?
4:39 pm
Atalante

N4s - there's 3 NA and 1 NI. All 3 NAs have 2 As in
4:44 pm
fit1

Atalante, you are my friend for life. After you clue, I got it on the first try. I have them all now. Is there anything I can help you with?
5:21 pm
Fishbulb

Well, I'm calling it a night folks.

I'm completely stuck now, got 51 words, 580 points - must be missing a couple of biggies, however, this is the closest I've come (so far) to completing a game so I'm feeling chuffed!

Night folks.
5:22 pm
Mal

any clues for the o's please
5:44 pm
Mal

6:25 pm
dicktrickle

okay...really can't see those 2 7's
9:10 pm
cz

Only 3 to go...can anyone help with the R, I, and M? (I have 3 Mo4 already)

I will gladly give hints to all the rest!
9:13 pm
cz

OK, got the R. Just need the M and I!
9:32 pm
runningforhome

The I is five letters, and I'm sure we all feel this way doing these puzzles sometimes.

Can't help on the M, I'm missing the same one. I also need another W - I have two WA4s.
9:34 pm
runningforhome

Oops, I also need two Hs - I have 2HA4s and an HI4.
9:35 pm
runningforhome

Erk, that'd be an HE4 and an HA4. Sorry to post thrice in a row. :\
10:01 pm
catsmm

Any clues for the P7s? I read earlier they're a type of fish but I've tried every kind of fish I can find and none fit. A second letter? Anything? Please?
10:08 pm
cz

I have 2 Hi4's and they start with the same 3 letters=only the last letter is different. That's a hint ;-)

I also have 3 Wa4's which go 8, 7, 7 points. Not sure which one you need.
10:14 pm
cz

The fish p7's start Pi.

Still looking for that elusive M word...if anyone out there can give me a clue.....
10:17 pm
catsmm

Got 'em! Thanks!
10:18 pm
Krys10

I'm confused about the previous posts about the H's... I have an HA4, an HE6, and two Hi4's.. can anyone confirm what I'm missing?
10:23 pm
cz

I have 5 H's:
1Ha4, 1 He4, 1 He6, 2 Hi4.

Hope that helps!
10:34 pm
Krys10

That does it! What about the O's? So far I have an Od5..
10:45 pm
Krys10

11:19 pm
