penquis

yes....one 4 and two 5s....

12:40 am

penquis

the middle C....

12:40 am

justafreep

I think it's just the singular of the one after it, not Italian. You know... just not really that bad.

12:41 am

penquis

found the 4....a duh word....

12:41 am

cybernan

rod & reel word ?

12:41 am

cybernan

or indian social rank

12:41 am

rbud

seashore?

12:42 am

penquis

ah....that is one....ty...

12:42 am

penquis

just one 5 left...

12:42 am

rbud

or the one after the seashore is kind of odd. sounds like a french girl's name

12:43 am

cybernan

similar to a word meaning coddle

12:43 am

rbud

a little snuggly French girl, haha

12:43 am

penquis

i think i have that one...

12:43 am

cybernan

12:44 am

cybernan

plural c4 d'azur

12:44 am

penquis

i have the one that is the girl’s name in Les Miz.....

12:44 am

rbud

plural for dove home is the last one

12:44 am

rbud

or is it pigeons?

12:44 am

cybernan

doves

12:44 am

penquis

got that one....

12:45 am

cybernan

do you have the co 5 math term?

12:45 am

rbud

maybe it's ca 5/12? societal level in India?

12:46 am

penquis

is that the same as the Les Mis name?

12:46 am

cybernan

no idea

12:47 am

rbud

yep, I think so. Only c5 left from that C is the singular for the ca6

12:47 am

penquis

i have that one...

12:47 am

cybernan

or there is always the car or horse race in the cops and robbers or cowboy and indians shows

12:48 am

cybernan

selected

12:48 am

penquis

i have Ca 5 , ch 5x3...

12:48 am

12:49 am

VANNA (homie)

7:51 am

Judi

Just tried a ghost pepper donut from Dunkin. Not bad.

7:51 am

hokie carla

sounds bad

7:52 am

rururocks

i wouldn't touch a ghost pepper or grim reaper pepper

7:52 am

hokie carla

I can't even deal with the mildest of hot peppers

7:52 am

MollyL

Peppers and doughnuts don't go together in my world

7:53 am

Judi

It's in the red sugar that's sprinkled on top of the strawberry icing. Not super hot.

7:53 am

hokie carla

agreed

7:53 am

Judi

It's a Halloween donut - limited time offer.

7:54 am

Judi

Ghost... pepper. Get it?

7:54 am

rururocks

those would get a little messy in the trick or treat bags no?

7:54 am

hokie carla

phantom accost

7:55 am

Judi

Suprised it's not ghost pepper pumpkin spice latte.

7:55 am

hokie carla

7:55 am

Judi

Surprised, even.

7:56 am

rururocks

<-- not a pumpkin guy

7:56 am

hokie carla

well pumpkin and pumpkin spice are not the same thing

7:57 am

hokie carla

I don't like pumpkin either but I do like pumpkin spice

7:57 am

rururocks

pumpkin pie is too slimey for me

7:57 am

Judi

So true. I draw the line at pumpkin pie. I might try a pumpkin beer, but only a sip or too.

7:57 am

Judi

Two. Jeesh. I can't type in proper English today.

7:58 am

rururocks

your ok judi :D

7:58 am

MollyL

I like pumpkin cheesecake pie, but not just plain pumpkin

7:58 am

HarryHood

not a fan of pumpkin pie. unless it's got lots of whipped cream

7:58 am

hokie carla

was going to say the same, HH. I can eat it with whipped cream

7:59 am

MollyL

Whipped cream makes anything better
: D

7:59 am

Judi

The whipped cream goes without saying, of course.

7:59 am

HarryHood

I hate it when they just dump a can of filling in a pie crust and call it pie

7:59 am

Judi

<<<< Prefers Libby's pumpkin pie mix. Sorry, Harry.

8:00 am

HarryHood

*gag*

8:00 am

Judi

LOL!

8:00 am

bichon

8:08 am

MollyL

Oh, the pun went right over the head

8:08 am

HarryHood

8:08 am

MollyL

Pita was bread before it became short for pain in the ass

8:08 am

hokie carla

oh, I thought you were saying PITA for pain in the ass

8:08 am

HarryHood

8:08 am

HarryHood

MollyL

Aw, it's crumby that it is no longer fun

8:26 am

8:26 am

HarryHood

8:26 am

hokie carla

8:26 am

HarryHood

8:27 am

8:27 am

HarryHood

8:27 am

HarryHood

the kids here are all worried that snow days are a thing of the past, with zoom all popular now

8:28 am

welki

already switched over to winter tires/rims, so i'm ready, even if the boneheads who wait to the last minute aren't :)

8:29 am

welki

my grandkids in vermont were concerned about the same thing

8:29 am

hokie carla

yeah, someone mentioned that to me when I was home for my dad's burial. my son and my nephew were doing virtual school and someone that stopped by said "there'll never be another snow day"

8:30 am

HarryHood

so sad

8:30 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

bye, HH!

9:19 am

MollyL

Does everyone really think that virtual school is here to stay? That would be very unfortunate.

9:31 am

mael

I think it's not going to stick around after the pandemic is contained, it's just no substitute for in person

9:49 am

Marc Freeman

Need more help with ho7, please?

9:50 am

hokie carla

I don't think it's here to stay, but depending on how easy or hard it is for teachers to set up virtual on a day's notice for snow days, I could see it being used again.

9:51 am

hokie carla

I think it's probably harder than we think, otherwise they would have done it in the spring. But maybe now they've established how, it can be done easier.

9:51 am

hokie carla

more help than what has been discussed in the chat already, marc? not sure how to say it differently.

9:52 am

Marc Freeman

My granddaughter goes to a private school and most of the kids are in school. Everyone has to where a mask and keep social distancing. No-one is allowed in the school accept students, faclulty and staff. And everyones temperature is taken when they enter the school. Those who don't want to join then can have the classes virtually. I hope this does not become the standard though.

9:53 am

Marc Freeman

Does it start with the ho4 before it?

9:54 am

Marc Freeman

Wow I found it, thanks

10:07 am

aslindy

10:43 am

MollyL

I think a lot of things are changing permanently. Offices in my building have moved out completely. Which makes me think that many companies are going to remain working remotely. The fitness room in my office building moved half of the equipment out this week in order to create "distance".

ch6 sounds like a woman's name

KnightTime

the other ch6 means undefiled

10:54 am

MollyL

While that is an accurate description of the word, it is an interesting one. It implies that having sex with a man "defiles" you.

10:54 am

KnightTime

the word can be used in a non-sexual way

10:55 am

Seriously, I didn't have it either, but just from the stats I worked it out. Just keep monkeying all the letters it could possibly be and you'll get it.

My first firewords in years, thanks to Licketys site. I forgot there is more than babble expert.

5:05 pm

hokie carla

Well done. I have never used expert and are therefore not reliant on it. But I am incredibly reliable on Lickety's list. :D

5:06 pm

hokie carla

*am, not are. what is up with my subj/verb agreement?

5:08 pm

hokie carla

I was just thinking earlier today about how when I first started this game it didn't have the tile stats and when he added those it helped so, so much and we were all so happy. I'm sure someone will say I'm crazy but that's how I remember it.

5:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't use any aids because I don't expect or plan to finish. I just like it when I find interesting words

5:11 pm

hokie carla

I like that too. I'm always like, ohh, there's one we don't see every day.

5:19 pm

MollyL

I think unless you are some kind of word genius (see the people at the flip) you need some help if you want to finish these grids. What I don't get are the people who are like "oh yay, I finished without the list" but they have asked for clues all day. Help is help.

5:19 pm

hokie carla

agreed on that.

5:21 pm

hokie carla

was just looking at the archives to see if I could find when the tile stats were added. first day of chat log was 10/6/03 or 06/10/03 for the non-americans. that day dr. god changed from the Scrabble dictionary to Enable because Scrabble only went up to 8 letter words.

5:22 pm

wvteach

we all play by our own personal "rules" that we have created for ourselves and we should not be put down for our choices

5:23 pm

MollyL

Yeah but the Scrabble dictionary has changed a lot since then. I wonder why Dr. God never changed back. And I didn't "put anyone down". Saying you don't get something is not a put down.

5:23 pm

hokie carla

while I agree everyone plays differently, it doesn't change the fact that asking for help is getting help.

5:25 pm

hokie carla

it's funny, I wonder if they even knew back then how many words total there were because everyone in the chat is saying how many points they were at.

5:28 pm

hokie carla

LOL - 2nd day of chat log ever - "Spam is too a word!"

5:32 pm

hokie carla

also funny that several players commented they are addicted but none of them are around now as far as I know (AFAIK)

5:39 pm

hokie carla

wow, there used to be a limit on trial and error. thank goodness he got rid of that

5:41 pm

MollyL

I have always thought that this game would be a lot harder if you got negative points for wrong guesses. THAT would drastically change the way people play.

5:45 pm

hokie carla

LOL. It was a lot harder before having the stats, so I can't even imagine having a wrong guess cap or penalty. maybe that's why the earliest players quit - adding the stats made it too easy.

5:46 pm

hokie carla

also, they started calling big words but just by number of points or number of letters - no first 2 letters.

6:07 pm

MollyL

There was a time when the hour after the flip was free of clue blurting. That gave people who played then the chance to find words on their own.
