Good morning.

5:40 am

ItalianGreyhound

HI, Scrabbler

5:42 am

Scrabbler

I was waiting for you to arrive, IG. This grid is tough with the vowels around the periphery.

5:43 am

ItalianGreyhound

Just started on the Ts, so Im not much help yet

5:43 am

Scrabbler

I am just dabbling.

5:46 am

mattygroves

So many phantoms in this grid, I find, involving the G

5:47 am

ItalianGreyhound

Aah, and a gerund ending I just found

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Yes, many phantoms.

5:48 am

ItalianGreyhound

lots of plurals, so far; so that's kinda easy

5:48 am

Scrabbler

Yes

5:51 am

ItalianGreyhound

Ts are done; I am working bottom to top today

5:58 am

ItalianGreyhound

Found first compound - an N

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Clue please?

6:06 am

ItalianGreyhound

Bunch of things you hammer

6:07 am

ItalianGreyhound

just found the 10 !

6:08 am

mattygroves

Does anyone have the ci6 they could clue, please?

6:08 am

ItalianGreyhound

not there yet, Matty - will look

6:09 am

ItalianGreyhound

I think its a gerund

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Yes, ci6 = noting a source

6:19 am

ItalianGreyhound

finishing the As, if clues wanted

6:19 am

Scrabbler

Upper left corner please.

6:20 am

ItalianGreyhound

6:24 am

ItalianGreyhound

the 7/40 uses the same 1st 4 letters, then the little spasm

6:24 am

Scrabbler

TY!

6:24 am

ItalianGreyhound

Fw for me!

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Yay!

6:28 am

Scrabbler

And now I must get ready for work. I am on call plus we have a business meeting this evening, so not a fun day or night ahead.

7:14 am

welki

nope, not just you

7:14 am

doseffing

7:14 am

7:15 am

7:16 am

hokie carla

nice, enjoy

7:17 am

hokie carla

got the 7, thanks welki, if you are still here

7:42 am

hokie carla

ooh, 2nd col gray

7:51 am

hokie carla

I know this isn't the first time I've mentioned it, but it's probably been talked about already today - hoser. come on, enable.

7:54 am

hokie carla

LOL, thought I was onto something with jetlag. turns out I already the J done.🤣

7:58 am

MollyL

Yeah, the hoser thing is mentioned almost every time hoser is in the grids, which is a lot.

7:58 am

hokie carla

well, with the amount of slang words allowed, it is shocking

7:59 am

hokie carla

arbitrary on everything, slang, money, foreign words

7:59 am

hokie carla

oh, and pasta

8:00 am

MollyL

One of the many frustrating things about the Enable word list is the way the author/authors picked and chose what is and what is not valid. Some foreign words, but not all. Some slang, but not all. Some acronyms, but not all. No consitancy whatsoever.

8:00 am

hokie carla

I know, it's crazy

8:01 am

hokie carla

phantom ennui

8:03 am

hokie carla

it's like they had a goal of making a word list and then just forgot a bunch of words.

8:06 am

hurshy

my goodness the As are difficult today

8:07 am

hurshy

i got one from the corner and it's ag7

8:07 am

hurshy

i shudder to think what else it has

hokie carla

8:16 am

hokie carla

or just current england 🤣

8:16 am

hurshy

i got the last of the other A words now too!!

8:16 am

rbud

I was guessing England had something to do with the ag6 - the way they bypass consonants and all. :D

8:16 am

hokie carla

I still need one from the A9 if you want to guess

8:17 am

hurshy

do you have an6/18

8:17 am

hokie carla

8:17 am

hurshy

8:18 am

hokie carla

that was it, thx

8:18 am

hurshy

that was my last one too lol

8:18 am

hokie carla

backward, hard to see

8:18 am

hokie carla

hey IG

8:26 am

ItalianGreyhound

haven't seen a 10 letter word in a while

8:27 am

hokie carla

I am assuming it's related to the 8 but that's probably a mistake

8:27 am

hokie carla

yeah, no -ed, so probably should get off that train of thought

8:27 am

hokie carla

could be a gerund I guess

8:28 am

rururocks

i just need help with a t 6?

8:28 am

hurshy

putting the prongs on the fork?

8:28 am

hokie carla

I have one that is gerund, ru

MLFAN17

9:07 am

hokie carla

I have finished the G somehow

9:08 am

hokie carla

most of them are like made up words

9:08 am

hokie carla

the ge514 and pl are the only ones I would or have ever used in real life

9:08 am

MLFAN17

i have 1 ge word

9:09 am

MLFAN17

and 7 c words

9:09 am

hokie carla

there's only 1 set of GE words, mlfan, so you probably need to plural that

9:09 am

MLFAN17

one ge word

9:10 am

mael

oh, those were the only ones I had, plus the bug

9:10 am

MLFAN17

oh oops both are ga

9:10 am

hokie carla

there's a 5/6 that ends in top point tile of the day

9:11 am

oh great, looking now. Thanks hokie!

9:11 am

hokie carla

9:11 am

MLFAN17

you mean the j>

9:11 am

hokie carla

anyone want to guess my missing N from the middle column?

9:12 am

hokie carla

what do you mean? who means the j?

9:12 am

mael

9:13 am

mael

oooohhh

9:13 am

mael

9:13 am

mael

I too thought the J haha

9:13 am

hokie carla

guess I already put the j out of my mind

9:14 am

hokie carla

yeah, we have it occasionally and I think sometimes it's GO

9:14 am

MLFAN17

but i still dont know a ge or ga word ending in the lette

9:14 am

MLFAN17

only know a gu4 and its pl

9:15 am

hokie carla

there are 2 ga 4 ahead of this. they are anagrams of each other. one sounds like not a loss, so if you find that, just add the 2nd high point tile on the end

9:15 am

hokie carla

there's no U!

9:16 am

MLFAN17

yeah i know no u

9:16 am

Shirlockc

9:37 am

hokie carla
