8:05 am
goforit

if you've found a colour, then just go to greater lenghths and you'll find them ;)
... length is an interesting word, isn't it?
8:07 am
sprite

2nd C8 should read D8, I think?
Thanks for the clues, shortseer.
8:10 am
goforit

yes D8, not C8
sorry about that!
8:12 am
sprite

goforit = shortseer?
:)
8:23 am
goforit

yeah .. the theory is if i'm logged in as goforit, i can just play on paper,and i can read the log, maybe enter a few words to check if they're valid, but NOT obsessively sit playing babble of hours on end until i find every single word.

192 words 4.97 2911 points as well, so that must be it.
Thanks for the help on the T's in your list, shortseer, that's what did it for me.
8:25 am
sprite

LOL!
Great idea! And does it help? Or does it only make you play twice? ;-)
8:26 am
sprite

T's?
I mean R's... sorry!
9:23 am
inaniloquent

mmm, looks like a fun one today. bummer i'm working from now until the puzzle closes :(
2:00 pm
runningforhome

I can't find the e/7/44 or the r/7/28 having to do with crystalline compounds.
2:03 pm
Rita

hey folks anyone to scoring above 267?
2:03 pm
Treble99

Cant find the E/8 44 or E/8 60 been looking for a while
2:06 pm
periwinkle

Treble99, I can't find them either.
2:06 pm
runningforhome

The latter part of the e/8/60 is a t/6/30. Then remove one letter and you've got the e/7/44.
2:09 pm
periwinkle

runningforhome, thanks I will try that.
2:10 pm
periwinkle

thanks, got the e/7/44.
2:11 pm
periwinkle

May I have a clue for the e/8/60 please? How many 8 letter words are there today?
2:12 pm
periwinkle

I know there is a clue for the e/8/60 but I cannot find it. Is there another clue (which is what I meant in the previous post).
2:23 pm
runningforhome

Putting an 'R' somewhere in your e/7/44 will give you the e/8.
2:24 pm
periwinkle

thanks so much, got it.
2:43 pm
Treble99

Cant get the crystalline compound R/728
3:58 pm
sprite

For the R7/28 take one of your Re4/4's and try to lengthen it to an R6/18. Then make it a plural.
4:02 pm
Treble99

I only have 2 RE4s both 4/4
4:05 pm
periwinkle

I have two Re4's. Can;t seem to lengthen them. How many Re4's are there.
4:11 pm
periwinkle

Yea, I got it. I finally used the right Re/4.
4:12 pm
inaniloquent

is this:
C8 55 ... not in the middle!
really a D8-55?
4:12 pm
periwinkle

Thanks, sprite.
4:14 pm
periwinkle

D8/55 is actually a word. place a prefix in front of a c6/24.
4:15 pm
inaniloquent

That's not what I meant.. I have a D8-55 meaning "not in the middle", so I was wondering if the C8-55 clue from 8:01 was supposed to read D8-55...
4:18 pm
inaniloquent

Soooo.. there is also an C8-55 meaning "not in the middle"? Thanks (in advance) for the clarification.
4:18 pm
periwinkle

There is a c/8/55 also meaning in the middle. Do you have that one.
4:19 pm
periwinkle

The d/8/55 is the only word that means "not in the middle".
4:19 pm
inaniloquent

LOL this is getting silly!
I have a C8-55 meaning "in the middle"
I have a D8-55 meaning "not in the middle"
I would like to know whether there is a C8-55 meaning "not in the middle.
thanks.
4:20 pm

ok thanks!
