Another 8/90!
12:13 am
iluvtigs

an 8 for 65
12:59 am
sprite

Only played for a short time and already found 39 words, many 7's and an 8. Is this going to be one of those giant grids?

MammaJill, what does your 8 for 90 start with?
1:24 am

I have 2x W8/90 and 1x W8/80 so far. Each is a 7/8 combo.
1:33 am
sprite

Thanks, shortseer! Nice to know... I like the big ones, but they take too much time... and too much of my ability to tear myself away of the game. ;-D
1:34 am
shortseer

there's a third W7/W8 combo
1:49 am
periwinkle

I can't believe that there are two L words in this game.
1:52 am
shortseer

it looks like an l on my stats printout ... but maybe it's an i
1:54 am
sprite

No, it is correct. Two L-words.
Currency-name, singular/plural. Came across them once in another puzzle, not a common word.
1:56 am
periwinkle

sprite, what country is the currency from?
1:57 am
periwinkle

sprite, how many letters in the currency words?
1:59 am
sprite

Angola, I believe.
1:59 am
sprite

L4/7, L5/16
(now you know! lol)
2:00 am
periwinkle

sprite, thank you. I will keep trying.
2:01 am
sprite

It takes a very uncommon combo of starting letters.
2:02 am
sprite

Don't owls have hips?
2:17 am
periwinkle

sprite, thanks for the help. Got the L words after lots of noodling.
3:50 am
sprite

They are really obscure words, wouldn't have found them if I hadn't come across them before.
But with letter count and points they can at least be noodled a little easier.
4:33 am
shortseer

i think googling for angolan currency could be faster than noodling

Whether tis nobler to google or to noodle ... That is the question
;)
4:38 am
sprite

*lol*
I agree!
5:59 am
Atalante

don't think anyone has mentioned this - another 8 for 50 and its another currency
6:54 am
sprite

A currency subdivision, to be exact.
6:56 am
sprite

Just as the L-words: subdivions of currencies.
7:01 am
Atalante

well really, in some countries a currency subdivision, and in a few others, another name for their actual currency ;)
7:01 am
sprite

Nice! Would like to know which... perhaps you could tell me tomorrow?
7:22 am
sprite

One more S, one more P... why do the last ones always take so long? ;)
7:44 am
sprite

Done at 114 words 5.13 2308 points.
Apart from the L-words for (fractional) monetary unit(s) no obscure words.
8:02 am
fit1

I found the currency. Google didn't help. They talk about the Kwanza, the main currency. Noodling worked. Tis better to noodle than to Google. :)
8:08 am
sprite

One could google on currencies and then work through the lists... but either way you find something to ad to your vocabulary. ;-)
8:11 am
fit1

Sprite, now I have to learn how to pronounce it and to casually bring it up in conversation. LOL
8:12 am
fit1

e6/7 combo. What we know as a spring holiday
8:22 am
sprite

We'll make such an educated impression on the public... *lol*
8:32 am
fit1

8:51 am

11:24 am
Treble99

Can I have a clue for the P/36 and P8/50 please
1:06 pm
granadan

To harass with petty annoyances; bother
Is the definition for the p7 36. Fraid I dont have the 8 either!
1:10 pm
sprite

There are 2 P7/36's.
The other is a (sub) currency.
The P8 is the plural.
1:31 pm
periwinkle

Oh, sprite, would please tell me what country the P sub-currency is from or the number of points. Thanks :)
1:34 pm
sprite

You can take your pick from Spain, Turkey and Egypt. Even from Italy in the past. :-D
1:35 pm
sprite

And Sudan... and Lebanon... and Syria...
1:36 pm
periwinkle

Having a tough time finding the A's. They are usually hard for me to locate.
1:40 pm
periwinkle

Thanks, sprite, I will keep noodling. I know I will find them.
1:40 pm
sprite

Funny, I have the same problem. Somehow the A's are harder than the rest.
My A's go:
5-6-5-5-6-5-6
1:42 pm
sprite

For the P-currency: you probably have the P4/6 that forms the base.
1:42 pm
periwinkle

Found the P currencies.
1:44 pm
granadan

there is another 6 between the two 5s. but Im still one short
1:46 pm
sprite

Then I think you need another 5 in between... ;-)
7 A's is all there is.
1:49 pm
granadan

oops! cheers peri!
1:50 pm
granadan

sorry - that should say cheers sprite!
1:52 pm
periwinkle

sprite, may I please have clues for the g/40 and the g/48?
1:55 pm
granadan

g 48 has no definition, but rhymes with a smelly fish
1:56 pm
periwinkle

Clues for the H/56 would be appreciated. Once I find that one and the last two g sevens. I will have all of the 7's and 8's.
1:56 pm
granadan

g 40 has a root 4 for 7 meaning to take in air
1:59 pm
sprite

H56: most fashionable (slang)
1:59 pm
periwinkle

granadan, thanks. I had the singular. Forgot to add the s.
2:02 pm
sprite

G40: slang for cigarettes
G48: slang for "One who defrauds; a swindler" (plural)
2:08 pm
periwinkle

woo hoo!, I have all of the big ones.
2:09 pm
