6:28 am

lynxxx

6:37 am

Soodle

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Corner i = id5 and 6

7:59 am

Scrabbler

7:59 am

rururocks

it is a doozy

7:59 am

rururocks

er7

8:00 am

Scrabbler

My eyes stop after 4 letters.

8:01 am

mattygroves

Found the i words!

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Great. I found them just before you asked.

8:01 am

Judi

Good Tuesday Morning, y'all.

8:02 am

BzznBea

I keep thinking you all are here early, but forget I'm in a different time zone...

8:03 am

Meatball421

is there a def for the er 7/36?

8:03 am

rururocks

i couldn't sleep

8:03 am

Meatball421

is that a complaint or a clue / :-)

8:03 am

rururocks

it's an Herb

8:04 am

Scrabbler

I need to get going. Enjoy the day.

8:07 am

mattygroves

Is the capitalisation of the H on purpose

8:10 am

mattygroves

i.e is that a clue?

8:10 am

mael

I'm a plant person, so eremurus is my phantom today

8:10 am

lynxxx

er7 er & vwl & most of eye ointment or artificial tears

8:11 am

mael

oh crap, I just realized what the er is, sorry

8:11 am

Judi

Good clue, Lynxxx!

8:11 am

Soodle

ER, vowel, three lettered alcoholic drink much loved by sailers (backwards) vowel.

8:12 am

Judi

LOL, Mael!

8:12 am

lynxxx

Maels was better!

8:12 am

mael

sorry, damn latin plurals

8:12 am

mattygroves

I appreciate both - thank you!

8:12 am

mael

of words I didn't know took the latin plural

8:12 am

mael

pb for me

8:13 am

rururocks

that's a better clue than what I could have come up with mael

8:13 am

mael

the best clue, in fact

8:15 am

Judi

Mael's Latin name is "clueless erroneous".

8:17 am

Judi

I grow weary of this endless grid. 253 left. Doubt I'll be able to come anywhere near finishing today.

8:19 am

Meatball421

is the er7 a word that anyone has EVER heard of?

8:20 am

lynxxx

well Mael has

8:21 am

Judi

I've never heard it before. Those who dabble in horticulture sling it around like a dead cat, though.

8:21 am

mael

it's a very pretty flower bulb

8:22 am

mael

I wouldn't call it an herb by any stretch, though I guess it technically is an herbaceous plant :)

8:22 am

Meatball421

*Whine*

8:24 am

MLFAN17

sounds like one i may never figure out

8:24 am

Meatball421

I've got 202 and hit a wall

8:24 am

MLFAN17

hello all

8:25 am

BzznBea

Meatball, at 8:10 mael shared her phantom with us. Rremove the last two letters and chnage them to a vowel

8:26 am

MLFAN17

Meatball?

8:27 am

Meatball421

Meatball 421 formerly Jeanius421, don't know what hppened

8:28 am

MLFAN17

ohh hello

8:29 am

Meatball421

:-D

8:29 am

MLFAN17

i only see the er clue from lynxx clue

8:31 am

MLFAN17

but havent figure it out yet

8:31 am

BzznBea

mael didn't clue it. It was her phantom

8:31 am

mael

it was the silliest thing

8:31 am

MLFAN17

lynxx clued it

8:32 am

BzznBea

So did soodle.

8:32 am

Meatball421

first 4 letters of Mael's phantom, yes?

8:32 am

mael

first 6 letters, actually

8:34 am

lynxxx

a te5.12 for Jillibus!

8:34 am

MLFAN17

so the alcohol part of that clue is backwards?

8:35 am

mattygroves

The phantom is nearly the word. But plural. But not with an S

8:35 am

MLFAN17

i didnt see the phantom

8:36 am

mattygroves

Scroll down. You'll see it.

8:37 am

MLFAN17

found it lol

8:37 am

Meatball421

Hallelujah and thanks

8:39 am

MollyL

I was going to clue the lone E as e + vowel + The Ghost and Mrs. _____ (scrambled) but Mael took the lead on that one

8:39 am

MollyL

er + vowel that is

8:42 am

MLFAN17

i finally got it and i used morewords

8:43 am

MollyL

Not sure what the appeal of that plant is

8:44 am

rururocks

supposedly a pretty plant molly

8:45 am

MollyL

I've seen them. Not my thing I guess.

8:45 am

BzznBea

I think they are lovely.

8:46 am

MollyL

It's like the phallus of the garden
: D

8:47 am

mael

I don't plant them because I try to only plant natives these days, but they look gorgeous in the right settng

8:48 am

MollyL

Oh how ecofriendly and sustainable of you

8:49 am

BzznBea

Actually, planting natives goes beyond ecofriendly. It's just smart practice.

8:50 am

mael

I don't garden for just me anymore, mostly for the birds and the bugs :)

8:50 am

mael

and I find it very beautiful to plant for the health of the environment

8:50 am

MLFAN17

8:52 am

mael

8:53 am

MollyL

We know who wears The Master Gardener pants in that family

8:55 am

mael

I've managed to get my husband to switch over to organic products on his lawn, which is second best to getting rid of the lawn entirely. but you know, baby steps :)

8:57 am

BzznBea

North Carolina isn't the best place to grow lawn. Mr. Bea does a lot of hand weeding.

8:58 am

BzznBea

This grid is killer...

8:58 am

rururocks

9:09 am

BzznBea

Looks like you elections went your way.

9:10 am

cybernan

9:10 am

rururocks

9:11 am

saanichcat

9:12 am

rururocks

rats

9:13 am

welki

i can think of better ways to spend $600,000,000 than calling an election during these times

9:13 am

saanichcat

no kidding. I was very po'd about that bit of vanity

9:14 am

cybernan

agreed welki - it was a waste of time and money

9:14 am

rururocks

what a waste of money that could go towards the environment and homeless people and feeding people

9:14 am

cybernan

and staffing hospitals

9:14 am

saanichcat

ru, did you actually finish this puzzle?

9:15 am

welki

10:24 am

Aloyisius

hi all, I agree Bea.. am calling this my "office day" bc I need to tackle piles of papers to organize and file. Rainy here, keeps me inside.

10:26 am

MollyL

No piles of papers when you scan things and store them digitally

10:27 am

Aloyisius

10:27 am

hokie carla

10:28 am

hokie carla

MollyL

It might be from overuse
: D

10:45 am

cybernan

10:47 am

10:54 am

hokie carla

10:54 am

aslindy

no idea how that relates to ireland

10:54 am

aslindy

I shall have to google

10:55 am

hokie carla

I can't figure out bea's clue so maybe there are 2 UL6? there is a region of Ireland.

11:03 am

penquis

11:04 am

Soodle

UL is one of the four provinces in Ireland, Mu 7/36 is another one of them. If this grid was any bigger, we'd probably have Leinster and Connaught.

11:05 am

cybernan

funny that they are not proper nouns soodle

11:05 am

BzznBea

Hww is the new grandbaby, soodle?

11:06 am

Soodle

Just adorable, Bea. I've only seen him by video link, but he is a smasher. :-)

11:06 am

BzznBea

Congrats, again.

11:06 am

cybernan

Oh I am definitely remembering quincunx. Imagine that on a triple word score. Yowza

2:27 pm

hurshy

exactly!

2:27 pm

hurshy

and it is a cool word anyway. it refers to the arrangement of five things with one at each corner of a square and one in the center, such as the dots on the 5 side of a die

2:27 pm

periwinkle

it is a neat word

2:28 pm

periwinkle

2:30 pm

periwinkle

I will do it but not today

2:30 pm

periwinkle

this grid is not too bad but very long. I will try to finish but need another break

2:31 pm

periwinkle

I do too, hursh. most of what I cook are one pot

2:31 pm

hurshy

given the number of words, i wonder if doing it while stoned would help

2:32 pm

periwinkle

it might

2:33 pm

MollyL
