Rainiqui

un 10

12:57 am

rbud

I found it in morewords (pre list appearance) by guessing it might be a "us" word, they have that option to put it in as us* with the letter exception list, and it worked.

12:57 am

rbud

ty, Rain *looking*

12:58 am

Rainiqui

yw, I played with it for half an hour before I finally saw it

1:01 am

ursh

morewords very helpful with this one

4:13 am

mattygroves

Yep, I used it and found it that way. For me, life's too short (at least it is today). Some days, I try not to use it, some days I shrug my shoulders, use it and get on with my day ;)

6:59 am

Alleyn58

Sure Guerseygirl that is a brilliant clue but still not seeing it - could I have the next two letters perhaps - clearly going in the totally wrong directions!!

7:00 am

guernseygirl

Think about digging ahole in the road - retr

7:01 am

guernseygirl

Then dig another one

7:01 am

Alleyn58

*Waves at Bea. I've got all those nasty A's out of the way.

7:39 am

BzznBea

LOL! I'm still looking...

7:51 am

jmcnrick

hi all

7:53 am

BzznBea

Hey, jmc.

7:53 am

bichon

I cant stop sneezing today

7:53 am

jmcnrick

I am finding 5 and 6 letter words faster than 4 letter words which is very odd for me

7:54 am

jmcnrick

*hands bichon a handkerchief*

7:55 am

bichon

massive allergy attack

8:14 am

MollyL

I am playing "The Bea Method" today. And I have all the vowels. Let me just say that ui8 is one of the oddest words I have ever seen here.

8:15 am

jmcnrick

that's a worry then!

8:17 am

MollyL

The whole ui beginning kind of bends my brain a little
: D

8:19 am

BzznBea

I'm finding a lot of odd words today.

8:20 am

MollyL

Finding all the vowels first is a challenging way to play. Especially when there are 13 u's.

8:37 am

jmcnrick

I would fail completely if I tried that Molls. I am lucky to make nbt some days.

8:37 am

jmcnrick

all I have left is the bottom U

8:38 am

cybernan

good moring all -- sounds like this will be tough if it is full of words nobody has ever heard of before

8:39 am

jmcnrick

someone must have heard of them!!! haha just not me

8:40 am

cybernan

yes - but remember years ago when we had grids with "real" words that we had a chance of solving without a bunch of clues, googles and monkeys?

8:41 am

BzznBea

So the enable dictionary has not always been in use for Babble?

8:43 am

MollyL

I didn't know that. I thought Enable had always been what these grids are based on.

8:44 am

PMS

ones

8:44 am

cybernan

I think it has always been the reference -- I also suspect it is like wikipedia -- anyone can add whatever they want to it

8:45 am

cybernan

it certainly isn't an english dictionary anymore and there are a lot more discipline specific words than there used to be.

8:46 am

MollyL

The Enable Word List is not like Wikipedia. Not anyone can add to it.

8:47 am

MollyL

Enable Word List...https://tinyurl.com/yxvpt2ao

8:47 am

MLFAN17

are both un 10s similar.. I have one of them?

8:48 am

cybernan

then I don't know where these words are coming from -- some of them are slang or dialects or just plain misspelled english

8:48 am

MollyL

There is only one un10

8:48 am

9:01 am

MLFAN17

matty it was a blank tile but not now:)

9:02 am

mattygroves

Gotya. Glad you found it/them (I only have 8 of them). I started well on this grid but it's all gone pear shaped now

9:02 am

BzznBea

Everyone seems to be on edge of late.

9:02 am

MollyL

No shit, Bea

9:02 am

hokie carla

10:48 am

hokie carla

10:49 am

MollyL

It reminds me of insouciance which for some reason is a word I have always liked. It just sounds great when someone says it.

10:49 am

jmcnrick
