Babble: Archived Puzzle for Friday, November 19, 2004

12:22 am

sprite

Eeeks! Too many vowels. Found one 6 so far and am glad with it... that is saying enough! *lol*

12:25 am

sprite

Okay, make that 2 7s (40 and 28). This cannot be more than a real tiny grid. Not even 30 words yet and I feel like I am halfway...

12:27 am

sprite

Another 7/40

12:29 am

Achates

sheesh, 25 words, 3x6 so far after 3 huge days this one's tight!

12:30 am

onyx

fooooie

12:31 am

sprite

Yeah... I like the feeling when I start a huge grid, all those words that come effortlessly at first. This is something completely different! ;-)

12:44 am

sprite

Hehe... "more frequently" seems to be a word!

12:51 am

sprite

48/571 and struggling :-(

1:05 am

sprite

55/640 and completely stuck. Found at least 3 more dutch words, but they aren't valid... *lol* Not much fun, this grid. Back later, to see how many more words I have to dug up. Oooooof!

2:48 am

Christine

Pooh! only 34 words, that means there's about 75-80, all told.
A cup of tea, and frazzle my brains,, to catch up with Marianne.

3:17 am

kcbabble

Starting this grid was an E5/10.

3:22 am

sprite

*lol* It certainly was! Tried to find some more words, but to no avail. I really hope someone will be so kind to do the stats.

5:40 am

testing

sprite - you can rest easy knowing you've found them all. :)

55 words
3x7
6x6
13x5
33x4

2xE
4xF
3xi
2xJ
3xN
6xO
16xR
12xT
1xU
6xW

6:49 am

fit1

al I can say is fooooo

7:12 am

fit1

Hey, I reroot plants all the time. Hey Babble, what gives?

7:27 am

sprite

*roflol!*
No wonder I couldn't find even one more word... and believe me, I've tried!
55 words... pathetic.

@fit1: I totally agree with you! Don't understand why the R7/28 won't take an R at the end either. Perfect description of me, reorganising where everything and everyone goes in this household.

7:43 am

fit1

Sprite, isn't it nice to have finished this stinker and have the rest of the day free :)

7:50 am

testing

If I list the 6 and 7 letter words I'm missing, would you be so kind as to tell me what the others start with? (definitions would be welcome, but I'd be happy with just the start letters). I have:

7/40 O (to run farther or faster)
7/28 R (to send on a different path)

6/27 R (to re-cover the top of a home)
6/27 R (the person who does the above)
6/18 R (in this day and age, a device that connects two or more networked computers to the internet or a network?)
6/18 T (one who sings the praises of something)
6/36 W (a type of speaker for a stereo)

7:54 am

sprite

F7/40 more flammable
T6/36 coupon offering two items, especially tickets for a play, for the price of one.

@fit1: just recovering from a flue, so I had this brilliant excuse to sit behind the pc babbling all day... but it was not to be! ;-)

7:59 am

sprite

@ testing: you are a wizard, by the way... to be able to list the words you are missing! ;-D

8:02 am

testing

Thanks for the help, and too true that I would have to be a wizard, wouldn't I! I think this stems from getting almost no sleep all week and then having to get up at 5am this morning and come in to work when I was supposed to take today off completely. Ah, well. At least I had Babble to distract me while I waited for these slow computers. One more E/4/4 to find and I'm done. :)

8:07 am

sprite

Put away your pen and you've finished the grid...
Hope you sleep well tonight!

8:10 am

fit1

Sprite, you are my Babble hero (ine)? Sorry to hear about the flu. I was lucky enough to get a flu shot while in Canada. Here in the ole US of A, it is not an easy thing. Get better soon

8:16 am

sprite

Thanks! *blush*

8:41 am

EvaNadine

still have the O and F 7-words to find, but working on the 5s and 4s

8:56 am

Treble99

I cant find the T6/36 coupon

8:59 am

EvaNadine

doesnt seem like a real word, if you ask me...focus on the 2

9:00 am

EvaNadine

any other clues for the O7 and F7?

9:01 am

sprite

I believe it is an informal word. It takes the same ending as the W6. Evanadine's tip is a good one.

9:03 am

testing

For the F7, think of something flaming, more than flammable (though that would work, it's just not as obvious that way). This is flaming more than something else. You might also use it to describe a hot-tempered personality.

9:04 am

fit1

YAHOOOO!!! I am done. I can now get a life today.

9:06 am

Treble99

thanks

9:06 am

EvaNadine

thanks for the extra clue, testing! i thought id tried that already...hehe...guess i was on the right path!

9:07 am

EvaNadine

now, does the O7 start with "out" (thats the way my briain is trying to go, but it doesnt seem to work)?

9:43 am

fnurt

Yes, it is a compound word, and kind of a dumb one if you ask me.

9:47 am

EvaNadine

hrmmm...all my brain is coming up with is "outrun" but thats neither a word in this puzzle nor long enough. :/

10:00 am

sprite

And running you do on...?
:-)

10:09 am

Benjake

I guess Babble has never read Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang, or "fooj" would be a word :-)

10:43 am

Treble99

I have E/5 10 and and 2 F4s and 1F7 can anyone help with the missing ones.

10:52 am

sprite

E4/4 something to put needles in

MammaJill

1:21 pm

Treble99

Treble99

1:44 pm

2:00 pm

Treble99

2:04 pm

EvaNadine

closest ive ever been to actually finishing! just missing 10 words...hehe...

2:08 pm

Treble99

I need O5, 1U and 1R

2:12 pm

EvaNadine

the U is the plural form of the female reproductive organ

2:13 pm

EvaNadine

i need E4, O5x2, O4. i also need an I, an N, 3Rs, and a T - one of them is a 5-letter, all the rest are 4s.

2:26 pm

EvaNadine

ok, now im down to 1 E4, 2 O5s. also 1I, 1T, and 3 Rs (one of which is a 5-letter, the rest 4s)

2:34 pm

Benjake

The E4 is one that shows up here from time to time.
Maybe we can help each other on the Ts: I'm missing one too.
I have:

ti4x2
to4x5
to5
to6
tr4
tw6

3:38 pm

Benjake

Now the T is the only one left. I know it's a 4, so time to noodle (anyone willing to give me a hint???)

3:47 pm

Benjake

Got it! (it's another Tr)
55 words!! :-)

6:42 pm

EvaNadine

ben - if youre still working, the last T is another Tr - one means a group of 3, the other means not kosher

6:58 pm

elphaba

This E4 about needles is driving me batty. Any other hints?

7:09 pm

7:20 pm

EvaNadine

kcbabble: i have the 2 similar ones, and i think there are TWO more. but i dont have them...

7:26 pm

periwinkle

I need help with J words. Any definitions would be helpful.

7:31 pm

onyx

i have one of the j words with no definition
j 4 11

7:32 pm

EvaNadine

peri: the J4 means "the chon of South Korea" and the J5 means "stamped metal token used in card-playing or reckoning accounts"

7:33 pm

EvaNadine

i have an O4 two O5s and an O6. anyone got any hints on the ones im missing?

7:35 pm

periwinkle

Thanks for the definitions. I will keep noodling. I know I will find them. J words are not my forte.

7:36 pm

onyx

evanadine, where did you find the definition for the j/4 i was just noodling to get the word

7:38 pm

EvaNadine

i found it just noodling myself...found the definition on another site

7:40 pm

periwinkle

evanadine, you are missing an o/7. There is an excellent clue at l:42.pm from Treble99.

7:41 pm

kcbabble

evanadine: there's an O5/16 -- "more frequently" according to sprite's clue of long ago, then one more O5/10 which I have a hard time finding :(

7:43 pm
