Lizlin

I still haven't found that combo.

12:44 am

Didn't know it was a combo until Joy's comment.

12:44 am

justafreep

I don't think I've ever seen it before

12:46 am

Lizlin

OK - I'll give you that one :)

12:48 am

joym999

I need some sleep. Gnite all.

HOET

7:43 am

rururocks

hoet?

7:43 am

hokie carla

half on every tile

7:43 am

hokie carla

*endorsed by molly

7:43 am

hokie carla

🤣

7:44 am

rururocks

oh god

7:45 am

hokie carla

it's way harder than NBT, which is just getting 1 word per tile

7:45 am

Cosmo Kramer

if you also get half of every stats (4letter words,5 letters etc), then it can be 'half of everything' :)

7:45 am

hokie carla

yeah, but that's too hard, kramer.

7:46 am

rururocks

i hardly ever say fireworks so this seems silly to me

7:47 am

Cosmo Kramer

that's what i aim for everyday. i will be happy with that.. fireworks is like once in a while bonus :)

7:47 am

hokie carla

yes, but you're one of the elites. does nbt/nbs not seem silly to you, ru?

7:48 am

rururocks

I'm far from elite in this game.. so many players way beyond my skills

7:49 am

hokie carla

well I'm currently stuck with 15 left

7:49 am

rururocks

well one of the 7's is kidding.. literally

7:50 am

hokie carla

I have one 7 but it's more of a breakfast thing

7:51 am

hokie carla

found another, so now I truly have HOE

7:52 am

hokie carla

or HOET/HOES if you will 😜

7:52 am

rururocks

i never ho around .. but that's just me

7:52 am

mael

I play for hoe every time :)

7:53 am

hokie carla

now I'm just making up 7s that are working

7:53 am

hokie carla

still don't think I have the kidding one

7:53 am

mael

I only have one delicious 7 so far

7:54 am

hokie carla

see, mael is on board with HOE!

7:55 am

rururocks

well.. mael calls a spade a spade I guess

7:55 am

hokie carla

why am I making up S words when I have the S grayed out?

7:55 am

mael

and a hoe a hoe, def

7:56 am

hokie carla

4-5-1-1

7:56 am

mael

same reason I'm making up A words, I guess!

7:57 am

hokie carla

😁

8:00 am

MLFAN17

hokie is the breakfast word a q word

8:01 am

mael

8:01 am

MLFAN17

i found it obviously

8:01 am

hokie carla

yes, it is

8:01 am

MLFAN17

those used to be so popular

8:02 am

hokie carla

I still need 1 7. I assume it's the "kidding" one ru was talking about but since I made up the other 2 I don't think I have it.

8:04 am

MLFAN17

i need 3 of the 7s

8:04 am

MLFAN17

nana

8:04 am

MLFAN17

sorry

8:04 am

hokie carla

well I still need 1 N but have that one

8:05 am

hurshy

8:05 am

hokie carla

nope, have that. but it is that N.

8:05 am

hurshy

er, then, na5

8:06 am

hokie carla

8:11 am

MLFAN17

ty

8:11 am

hurshy

hokie, i think the "kidding" 7 is the ye7, it's a pun, because that means to bring forth young (of a sheep or GOAT)

8:12 am

mael

FW! have a good day everyone, off to take the kids to scoeer

8:12 am

hokie carla

well done, mael. hope you have beautiful fall weather.

8:16 am

hokie carla

well, I am stuck for real here at 5 left. 1 H and 4 C's. don't think I'm going to find these on my own but I'll take a break and come back and see if they magically appear. TTFN.

8:50 am

rururocks

not sure what scoeer is

8:51 am

rururocks

I usually get lambasted for punning this early in the day hursh

8:52 am

hokie carla

ah, I do have that one. and I didn't even notice the soccer typo, my brain fixed it.

8:52 am

hokie carla
