1:42 am

rolin

1:43 am

justafreep

free airborne wifi is a wild thing

1:43 am

rolin

1:44 am

justafreep

A perk!

1:45 am

rolin

my life plans revolve around getting on a plane...at this point as long as it has seats and working engines I'll be happy...lol

1:48 am

justafreep

Yes. I agree with that.

1:48 am

justafreep

I amazingly have a whole row to myself, too. On a red eye. And only one upset baby!

1:50 am

rolin

a whole row and you're babbling instead of snoozing?

1:50 am

justafreep

it's still a little early my time. But I won't be here long....

2:01 am

2:31 am

Jivingjenny0

please can someone clue the ae7

2:57 am

DTins

Very difficult to clue but o is the 3rd letter

3:32 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks DTins, can you tell me another dictionary to use other than morewords? this is the 3rd day that my version does not have some longer words displayed. The only Ae7 I have has the letter B in it!!

4:10 am

Cosmo Kramer

jiving, in morewords you can letters to exclude also, if you do that such words with b wont be shown.
for eg, if you give ae-----^bcdgjkpqsvwx it will show only 7 letter words startinf with ae that has only the letters in this grid.

4:12 am

MotherOwl

I use this one: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/word\ns-that-start-with-ae I has not got all words, but is quite good.

4:13 am

MotherOwl

I think of haps when hearing the ae 7 word ;)

4:37 am

Jivingjenny0

Cosmo Kamer, thanks for your comments, I know all about doing what you suggest but the only word it comes up with is Aerobic which is not in the grid!!

5:30 am

mattygroves

I definitely found the ae7 in Morewords.
https://www.morewords.com/search?w=ae\n-----

5:42 am

Jivingjenny0

I know its there, because I looked on my husband's computer, but it is NOT on mine, really weird

5:46 am

Do you need a clue for ae7?

5:48 am

ae + I love Mong***** barbecue :)

5:48 am

FrenchToast

GM all

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Great clue, French.

5:49 am

FrenchToast

My clues always have something to do with food, haha

5:49 am

Scrabbler

I never heard of Mong**** barbecue.

5:50 am

FrenchToast

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

5:50 am

Haz1558

Nor have I...

5:50 am

Scrabbler

Hi Haz.

5:51 am

FrenchToast

It's a big stir-fry, you choose your ingredients and the chef prepares in front of you on the big grill. Sort of like the hibachi restaurant.

5:51 am

Haz1558

Hello! I worked out that it wasn't Mongoose barbecue, so that's good.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

Haha, Haz.

5:51 am

Scrabbler

New to me, FT.

5:52 am

FrenchToast

It's a country next to Kazatstan (spelled wrong I'm sure)

5:52 am

Scrabbler

I know the country but not the cuisine.

5:52 am

Uneaixoise

Anyone having trouble connecting to lickety?

5:52 am

Haz1558

I've heard of the country okay, just didn't know their contribution to world cuisine.

5:52 am

Yes

5:52 am

6:51 am

mattygroves

Would I need specialist knowledge for the na7?

6:54 am

mattygroves

Found it

7:32 am

MollyL

Not exactly a "normal" word

7:33 am

BzznBea

Most of the words today are not normal.

7:38 am

ItalianGreyhound

The NA7 took me a while

7:40 am

ItalianGreyhound

A lot of these words look like mu-6s

7:42 am

mattygroves

May I have a nudge, please on the ta6/18? Am I missing the bleedin' obvious?

7:42 am

godthaab

ae = 6th mode

7:45 am

mael

the ot7 was a wild guess for me

7:46 am

ItalianGreyhound

yeah, I needed the list for that one

7:46 am

mael

why not add -rock to the end of something? sigh

7:47 am

mael

or to the end of something else to get an oo6

7:48 am

ItalianGreyhound

that's the fun of this game - strange and mysterious words

9:46 am

9:52 am

hokie carla

howdy nan

9:57 am

cybernan

any clues for that ae 7 please?

9:58 am

hokie carla

add an A to the EO6 I clued

9:58 am

marksdolly

if you have the eo 6 just add a vowel to the front of that

9:58 am

cybernan

ty dolly

9:59 am

cybernan

and carla

9:59 am

marksdolly

:)

10:00 am

cybernan

trying to remember the 7's that were called last night. Have ae and ta - is there a te as well?

10:00 am

hokie carla

I only have those 2. did not see the ones called last night as I was falling asleep while playing.

10:00 am

marksdolly

I'm still missing a couple

10:02 am

cybernan

same here carla

10:04 am

marksdolly

there is an OT 7

10:04 am

hokie carla

hmm...looking

10:05 am

marksdolly

go south and use that ending that they've used a lot of in this grid

10:05 am

hokie carla

i know that word!

10:06 am

hokie carla

that was causing my vertigo earlier this year and I had to have it reset

10:07 am

cybernan

so something to do with the ear then

10:07 am

marksdolly

hubby has been having vertigo problems off and on

10:07 am

hokie carla

ugh, it's unfun (not a word)

10:07 am

marksdolly

but he has started going to the chiro when it acts up and the treatment readjusts the crystals

10:07 am

marksdolly

no I've seen him literally crawl on the floor for 3 days at a time, not fun

10:08 am

hokie carla

yeah, I went to a PT who did the maneuver

10:09 am

cybernan

not finding it, but then I'm not sure what the common ending is for words in this grid

10:09 am

hokie carla

well, I'm not sure I have any more words that end in that so maybe I should look

10:10 am

marksdolly

there are 2 o words that have that same ending

10:10 am

hokie carla

it's like a rock or stone, nan (the suffix)

10:10 am

marksdolly

think of an ending that sometimes means ancient

10:11 am

hokie carla

like a mono*

10:11 am

marksdolly

and an eo word with that same ending

10:11 am

hokie carla

ok, must be my missing E and O

10:11 am

hokie carla

found the E, what's the count on the other O?

10:12 am

marksdolly

7 letters words start w/ ta, na, ot and ae

10:12 am

hokie carla

got the O

10:12 am

hokie carla

okay, my missing N. looking...

10:13 am

cybernan

I thought the clue was go south and add the familiar ending -- mono as in train track? Tried adding hammer's partner but that didn't work

10:13 am

marksdolly

nan do you have the la 5?

10:13 am

hokie carla

the mono* is like a stone standing

10:14 am

cybernan

ty -- so it was head south like north :)

10:14 am

hokie carla

found the N, thanks. 10 left!

10:14 am

cybernan

ty carla

10:15 am

marksdolly

:)

10:15 am

marksdolly

7 left here

10:15 am

hokie carla

3 4's, 4 5's, and 3 6's now

10:15 am

cybernan

is the na something sea worthy?

10:16 am

hokie carla

yes, a latin(?) plural of a more common word

10:17 am

cybernan

ty carla

10:18 am

cybernan

need to have breakfast and get myself off to a chiro appointment - bbl later

10:19 am

marksdolly

11:30 am

hokie carla

nice, une!

11:31 am

hokie carla

you all know that insurance ad with the guy teaching people how not to be like their parents? makes me LOL every time. anyhoo, just had a similar moment with my mom on trying to tell her how to turn her volume up on her phone.

11:32 am

clg47

your poor mom

11:33 am

hokie carla

talking to my brother now, he tried to help her with the ringer volume yesterday.

11:34 am

MollyL

I don't know about "your poor Mom". She has you and your brother trying to help her. Not too shabby.

11:37 am

hokie carla

she got a newer iphone but I don't know which model, but I'm sure they all have wireless charging after the 8 or so. she gave my nephew her old 8 with the wireless charger because the new one came with a charging cord. I was like, surely your newer phone could have used it too.

11:38 am

hokie carla

"well, I don't know, it came with that cord." yeah, they all come with that cord, even the one you just gave away. and then just now she said she got a cheap one that you have to plug in at night.

11:38 am

moolingwa

No, wiresless charging was added to iphone in the 11

11:39 am

hokie carla

no, I have the X and can charge wirelessly

11:39 am

MollyL

Someone once said "we live in a world where people get a newer model phone before they have figured out how to use the old one"

11:40 am

clg47

I've had to go to youtube to figure something out. I knew it could be done I just didn't know how

11:41 am

hokie carla

she also can't use her desktop computer because my nephew somehow always gets viruses on it. currently it has to be booted up by holding F1. I meant to work on that while I was there, but I haven't had windows PC in so long I don't know a lot.

11:41 am

moolingwa

ah you're right, sorry hoke

11:42 am

hokie carla

no worries ;)

11:44 am

hokie carla

I know it's Qi and mr. homie's truck has a different kind of wireless charging so mine will not work in that.

11:45 am

hokie carla

yeah, quick goog tells me it was added with the iphone 8

11:51 am

moolingwa

yeah, I went from the 7 to the 11 so bit delayed on that

11:52 am

clg47

I just received a wireless charger as a bonus in a wine shipment. I have an older phone because I tend to live frugally (except for wine) but maybe I will update eventually.

11:52 am

hokie carla

everyone else here has a 7

11:53 am

hokie carla

well, save the charger, clg!

11:53 am

clg47

Oh I am

11:58 am

moolingwa

11:58 am

12:08 pm

crosshair

it goes up and into the right side of the grid

12:09 pm

moolingwa

12:43 pm

hokie carla

12:44 pm

moolingwa

12:44 pm

hokie carla

no, I knew you'd get that

12:44 pm

moolingwa

three of my last five are on the last row

12:45 pm

hokie carla

I just need 1 M and 1 F on last row

12:45 pm

1:02 pm

moolingwa

1:02 pm

hokie carla

1:03 pm

moolingwa

1:03 pm

hokie carla

and I was doing do good and not tipping that off ;)

1:04 pm

hokie carla

*so good

1:04 pm

moolingwa

Well I saw the tiles you had left way back when, and figured the o was the one you had and I didn't

1:04 pm

hokie carla

still have 2 4's

1:05 pm

moolingwa

so you didn't give it away per se

1:05 pm

periwinkle

1:06 pm

hokie carla

peri! can you see?

1:06 pm

periwinkle

1:07 pm

periwinkle

1:07 pm

periwinkle

found most of the words before I left this am

1:07 pm

periwinkle

11 left

1:07 pm

hokie carla

I know, it's hard enough when you can see

1:07 pm

hokie carla

if I play at the flip I can never see

1:09 pm

hokie carla

and it's a little blurry right now

1:09 pm

hokie carla

1:12 pm

MollyL

No blind leading the blind jokes today.
: D

1:13 pm

hokie carla

last time I went to my eye dr. she said my presbyopia shouldn't get worse. she was wrong!

1:14 pm

MollyL

Yeah, well I had an obstetrician tell me that my 11 pound son would "probably be a small one"

1:14 pm

hokie carla

ok, I'm assuming my missing T is a 6 like moo, so that leaves L & U being 4s

1:14 pm

hokie carla

ha!

1:15 pm

hokie carla

did you have gestational diabetes or just a big baby?

1:15 pm

hokie carla

and btw, I read that as electrician at first

1:15 pm

MollyL

Big babies. All three. 9, 10 and 11 pounds.

1:16 pm

MollyL

Yes, I often went to my electrician for my prenatal checkups.
: D

1:16 pm

hokie carla

mine were 8lbs 9oz and 9lbs 3oz

1:17 pm

hokie carla

the first one was 15 days late and I told the dr the second one was bigger and he didn't seem to believe me.

1:18 pm

MollyL

My 11 pound son was two weeks late.

1:20 pm

hokie carla

my grandmother's birthday was 13 days after his due date and she was like, ooh, you can have him on my birthday, which I thought was ridiculous, then he was born 2 days after hers.

1:21 pm

hokie carla

and literally everyone else I knew went early so I didn't think anyone went to their due date, much less past it. the youngest was only 4 days late at least.

1:23 pm

hokie carla

found the L!

1:24 pm

hokie carla

and the U! T6 left

1:26 pm

hokie carla

TADA!!

1:35 pm

MollyL

Are you Nan now with the TADA!!

1:35 pm

hokie carla

I thought I started the TADA

2:53 pm

joym999

I've been told many times that I need to get a clue.

2:53 pm

moolingwa

heh

2:54 pm

moolingwa

me too

2:57 pm

joym999

actually I'm having a really hard time with this grid, but sadly I have to go back to work now.

3:00 pm

dcseain

be well, joy.

3:01 pm

dcseain

this is a rather tough grid, agreed.

3:03 pm

bichon

re 5/10, pls

3:04 pm

hokie carla

think tin man, bichon. I usually struggle with that one and it was one of my last 10.

3:04 pm

dcseain

thanks, carla

3:05 pm

hokie carla

yw

3:05 pm

hokie carla

I think it's just not on our radar because the root is a 3 letter word

3:06 pm

dcseain

yeah, that makes sense

3:06 pm

dcseain

though i tried that three-letter word -er LOL

3:07 pm

bichon

ty carla

3:07 pm

hokie carla

I think that is allowed but not there today

3:12 pm

dcseain

"Begin nu spreken", says the phone, so i say "Wij kennen de kok" but phone types "Fight Canada coke" Poor voice typing can barely tell Dutch from English.

3:12 pm

hokie carla

LOL

3:48 pm

redshoes

4:13 pm

hokie carla

OT

4:19 pm

joym999

OT??? Seriously? Whatthe*&^%! starts with OT? I'm having such a hard time with this grid.

4:23 pm

hokie carla

well, I actually knew the word but only because of my vertigo from a few months ago

4:24 pm

hokie carla

it's like a crystal (stone) in the ear

4:26 pm

joym999

Hmmmmm. Is is a 7,28?

4:26 pm

hokie carla

32

4:26 pm

hokie carla

4:27 pm

moolingwa

tx

4:28 pm

moolingwa

can't believe I didn't get the t6 earlier

4:29 pm

hokie carla

spoiler alert on the ot! I know re: the t6, was going to say it rhymed with another word I needed clued but that would've given it away.

4:30 pm

joym999

gotta go back to work again...I'd so much rather play Babble

4:30 pm

hokie carla

bye joy

4:30 pm

hokie carla

I'm making a little bolero jacket, shrug, whatever you want to call it.

4:44 pm

moolingwa

not sure what a bolero jacket is :)

4:45 pm

hokie carla

or a shrug?

4:46 pm

hokie carla

just google shrug jacket and you'll get the gist

4:47 pm

hokie carla

somehow I've lost a whole tin of straight pins. The lid is here on my pressing table but I can't find the rest of it. Hope Winston didn't eat it!

4:54 pm

dcseain

Oh, dear. may the pins be found.

5:04 pm

eieios

ae7 - is it part of a woman's body?

5:09 pm

rbud

no - it's a variation on the eo6 - related to the wind?

5:11 pm

eieios

got the e, hmmm

5:11 pm

eieios

kith

5:21 pm

rbud

yes, just stick that A on the front, really. Alternate spelling.

5:29 pm

eieios

says it isn't in the dictionary

5:31 pm

eieios

this is a tricky little grid

5:43 pm

rbud

there are two eo6's, sorry, I suppose you need the other one. (running in and out of the room, sorry for delays)

6:09 pm

hokie carla

pins update - still missing. just baffling because if they're not here with the lid, they would be spilled ssomewhere

6:09 pm

dcseain

that is very weird. not under some fabric, i'm guessing.

6:11 pm

hokie carla

I have lifted stacks and looked under

6:12 pm

dcseain

i figured. :/

6:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

dcseain

6:18 pm

penquis

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

apart from mistyping...

6:20 pm

penquis

well i just finished....so i am heading out....goodnight all.....

6:20 pm

hokie carla

I have had missing words that I saw they added, so I know they weren't typos, and only once have I had a word say it wasn't a word but then it was later that day.

6:20 pm

cybernan

hello everyone

6:21 pm

penquis

hi nan....bye nan... ;o)

6:31 pm

rbud

hi, nan, bye, pen! hope those pins show up, hokie, I've had something similar happen before a time or two. Now I have magnet pin catchers, but I still lose the whole shebang once in a while. fw and laters! :)

6:32 pm

cybernan

I suppose all of you have finished -- busy day today, so still have 21 left

6:41 pm

hokie carla

whew, the great pin mystery solved. forgot I had put them in my thread catcher, which hangs at an angle so they weren't spilled out in there.

8:03 pm

joym999

I've been trying to finish the grid all day, but I've just been squeezing in a few minutes here and there between work meetings.

8:03 pm

joym999

Now finally the work day is over and I can play1

8:04 pm

MollyL

That is funny

8:04 pm

hurshy

hmm, with all the yiddish words that count... isn't yutz a yiddish word?

8:05 pm

joym999

yutz is indeed a Yiddish word

8:05 pm

hurshy

yano

8:05 pm

hurshy

scuse me

8:05 pm

joym999

I think it's one of the many Yiddish words that means idiot

8:05 pm

hokie carla

is the f4?

8:06 pm

joym999

yes there's an F4 yiddish word...seems to be a lot of them in the dictionary. But not yutz

8:07 pm

hokie carla

I am familiar with the F but not yutz

8:08 pm

hokie carla

putz too

8:08 pm

hurshy

they must love Utz pretzels

8:09 pm

joym999

lol

8:09 pm

hokie carla

I know I love Utz cheez ballz

8:09 pm

MollyL

I know fu4 in terms of idle behavior, as in fu4ing around

8:09 pm

hokie carla

me too

8:10 pm

joym999

only a putz or a yutz would fu4 with Utz.

8:10 pm

hokie carla

lol

8:11 pm

joym999

I'm down to my last 5 words. Any clues for the YA6?

8:12 pm

hurshy

that's what i need since yutz doesn't work

8:12 pm

MollyL

Only if they are a klutz

8:15 pm

hokie carla

rhymes with ma6, a personal motto or rah rah

8:18 pm

joym999

ma6? personal motto? rah rah? sis boom ba? boy am i confused.

8:18 pm

hurshy

like "om"

8:19 pm

joym999

that helped!

8:19 pm

hokie carla

actual def is mystical formula of invocation

8:19 pm

hokie carla

or watchword

8:20 pm

hokie carla

and in case you're missing a T6 in your last 4 words...

8:20 pm

joym999

I'm down to one...the FU6

8:21 pm

hurshy

resistance is fu6

8:22 pm

joym999

but of course!

8:22 pm

joym999

I was looking at the wrong U.

8:22 pm

joym999

I have been assimilated.

8:23 pm

hokie carla

8:25 pm

joym999

OK well I'm going to celebrate my fireworks by eating dinner. See y'all later, I'm sure.
