1:32 pm

penquis

1:33 pm

MollyL

Here is what I want to know (and come on, admit it, you have wondered this too) how are people dating in this "time of COVID"? Or are they not? Will we see a population decrease?

1:34 pm

penquis

1:34 pm

hokie carla

I don't know either

1:35 pm

penquis

bye pen!

2:24 pm

moolingwa

Given the transmission rates between young people, I suspect many are continuing as normal

2:40 pm

MollyL

Well, young people are not the only ones who date

2:59 pm

hokie carla

I would guess they are the majority

3:20 pm

dan2bit

firewords! no lickety today, but thanks all cluers. Jewish holy book to5 was my last

3:30 pm

mkg

hi all. back to do more. any clues for the 7s? ty

3:31 pm

mkg

they are not dating! I have asked singles in their 20s and they just arent dating.

3:31 pm

mkg

sad times.

3:32 pm

mkg

also clue for the o word second column O? ty.

3:34 pm

MollyL

Imagine being in your twenties and feeling like you couldn't date. Or any other age, because as I said, young people are not the only ones who date. We are headed for some serious mental health troubles.

3:34 pm

mkg

i am so frustrated with not seeing the 7s. .....

3:34 pm

Uneaixoise

Ox5 is a flower

3:34 pm

mkg

it is awful to be a single at this time period.

3:35 pm

mkg

a flower? wow. thats different. ty. do i know this word?

3:35 pm

MollyL

7 letter words have been clued all day. If you go over the chat log you will see.

3:35 pm

Uneaixoise

Ox + what you see with

3:36 pm

mkg

well got the ox but it is shown everywhere as two words. ty.

3:36 pm

MollyL

Nope, the daisy is spelled as all one word

3:37 pm

MollyL

So is the window

3:38 pm

mkg

not getting pa 7. says plural the pa 6. i only have a pa 5.......and it ends in y so not near the plural at all.

3:39 pm

mkg

nm got it.

3:41 pm

mkg

I need one last clue please: for the E fourth row, first column. ty. every word i try is for the other E in that column. ty

3:41 pm

mkg

without lickety i am lost

3:45 pm

mkg

got that e word: ep 5. a glue if anyone needs it.

3:49 pm

jan

Funny that Enable doesn't include the ending of that word, a relatively common mild curse word in working class British use.

4:01 pm

MollyL

There you go mkg, that is the challenge. Finding the words yourself.

4:05 pm

jan

Some of us remember Babble pre-Lickety. Finishing a grid was a rare accomplishment, back then.

4:25 pm

MollyL

Really, non-Lickety is the true way to play. The object of the game is to find as many words as YOU can find. Not find with clues, or morewords or Lickety.

4:36 pm

hokie carla

yep, from reading the chat at the beginning, that was the original intent of the game

4:48 pm

Christa

Greetings all. I have been around since 2005 (pre LIckety) & it was a thrill if I finished the grid.

4:50 pm

Uneaixoise

Ditto!!

4:53 pm

Christa

Didn't Lickety start up due to Mrs. Lickety playing??

4:54 pm

Uneaixoise

Don't remember

4:56 pm

Uneaixoise

Are you thinking of Mr President? Was that his wife?

4:59 pm

Uneaixoise

They divorced and she remarried, right?

5:02 pm

Uneaixoise

Hurshy probably remembers

5:10 pm

MollyL

Yes to the divorce. Don't know about the remarriage. She was flaunting a big diamond, but not sure that worked out.

6:19 pm

Uneaixoise

Fw!!

11:25 pm

cherlyq

well fireworks, off to bed all

11:52 pm

hurshy

i do not remember about divorcing and remarrying, if i ever knew

11:52 pm

hurshy

i'm not very good at keeping track of the things people share about their lives

11:53 pm

hurshy

maybe because i don't have faces to put with facts? idk

11:53 pm

hurshy

some of y'all astound me with the details you remember about each other

11:54 pm

hurshy

best i can do is usually a vague sense of "that person is nice" and "that person is annoying"

11:57 pm

rururocks
