where's the dark mode on this thing? my eyes are bugging out today
7:59 am
aslindy

sadly, that's not a thing
7:59 am
Shirlockc

i wonder how much longer i can play this on my device
8:00 am
hempshow

i will pray to Dr. God for some intervention then
8:00 am
Shirlockc

i was chatting with a friend and he said that this would not be too difficult to "redo" for modern devices
8:01 am
jmcnrick

can you adjust the brightness on your screen?
8:01 am
jmcnrick

I am wearing blue glasses to reduce the strain myself
8:02 am
hempshow

it helps a little to dim the screen, but maybe i should go fetch my glasses
8:02 am
MollyL

JMC is correct. If ou go into your computer's settings you can adjust the screen brightness. Same as your phone.
8:05 am
hempshow

turns out i have probably rarely adjusted brightness, it was on full blast
8:05 am
hempshow

wonder what my eye doc would say, staring into the sun each day for so many hours
8:05 am

*beams with pride for being right*

got it too, thanks hursh
10:12 am
MollyL

Or we could just type the word in the chat
: D
10:14 am
jmcnrick

that never happens 0:D
11:03 am
hokie carla

still took me like 20 tries to get it
11:06 am
hurshy

cocoa time
11:07 am
jmcnrick

bring some to pour into my coffee hursh
11:07 am
hurshy

11:10 am
hurshy

haha as a cat lover i just tried a un5 that pertains to them, not at all thinking it would work, but it did
11:10 am
hokie carla

thanks
11:11 am
hokie carla

proving once again how stupid enable is with the un's and re's
11:12 am
hokie carla

has anyone tried that wordle?
11:12 am
Shirlockc

wow, never would have thought that was a word
11:12 am
hurshy

wordle? is that another game?
11:14 am
jmcnrick

ty hursh
11:15 am
hokie carla

yes, I think the link is short enough.
11:15 am
hokie carla

https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle\n/
11:15 am
hokie carla

so take off that \n/ at the end
11:15 am
hurshy

i know :)
11:16 am
hokie carla

basically you have 5 guesses to get the word of the day
11:16 am
hurshy

so it's like mastermind, that game with the colored pegs, but with letters/words instead. cool
11:16 am
hokie carla

I know you know, but others might not
11:16 am
hokie carla

I have heard it is like mastermind but I don't know that one
11:17 am
jmcnrick

I just tried it and it is more logic than words to me.
11:17 am
jmcnrick

got the word in 2 but that may have been luck of the draw
11:18 am
hokie carla

this is my 2nd day. got yesterday's in 3 or 4. have 1 letter in the right spot today and can't think of a word to try.
11:19 am
hurshy

i got today's!
11:19 am
hokie carla

I also know one other letter but not where it goes
11:19 am
hokie carla

I think the game is a lot of luck
11:19 am
hurshy

it's not that much logic, just thinking of words that use different letters than the words you already tried that you know are wrong
11:19 am
hurshy

you gotta maximize the variety of letters you try
11:20 am
hokie carla

logically thinking of words and trying letters 😜
11:20 am
hokie carla

yes, I think it's good to start with a word with a lot of vowels
11:20 am
hokie carla

anyhoo, apparently there is a new word each day
11:23 am
hurshy

pf4
11:24 am
hurshy

just alerting you to its presence
11:24 am
jmcnrick

ty hursh
11:25 am
hokie carla

that's a new one to me. also took me about 20 tries
11:25 am
hurshy

if any one of those Es were an I instead, we could have impunity
11:27 am
hokie carla

when I was younger and would read me5 (restaurant) I would always think I was reading meanness.
11:28 am
jmcnrick

whew! I finally monkeyed the pf
11:29 am
hokie carla

did you check the def?
11:29 am
hokie carla

ridiculous
11:29 am
hurshy

it's just like, making a spitting noise, right?
11:30 am
hokie carla

it is alt sp of a ph word that is an interjection
11:30 am
jmcnrick

actually the definition shows a completely (and more common) spelling
11:30 am
hokie carla

if you know cartoons, there was one Hong Kong Ph
11:32 am
hokie carla

why were you even trying that, hurshy?
11:32 am
jmcnrick

but he spelled it the more common way
11:32 am
hurshy

because we have it in grids and i saw it
11:32 am
hokie carla

yes
11:32 am
hurshy

same reason i would try psst, knowing that works too
11:32 am
jmcnrick

so a new babblet for me
11:33 am
hokie carla

so if I could find one more E that would be great
11:35 am
hokie carla

oh, there's one of our dwarfs
11:36 am
hurshy

fun!
11:38 am
hokie carla

ok, HOET!
11:38 am
MollyL

You two are like Blurtina and Blurtette
11:39 am
hokie carla

well, I knew I was in the right company
11:39 am
MollyL

Yeah, but you are not the only two in chat
11:39 am
hurshy

lots of people like it, though
11:40 am
MollyL

It doesn't matter though. Blurting has become the norm. No one wants to find words on their own anymore.
11:40 am
jmcnrick

meh
11:40 am
hokie carla

jmc was the only other one and she doesn't seem opposed
11:40 am
hurshy

one can always hide the chat if one wants to be truly independent
11:41 am
MollyL

Yes one can, and a lot of people do. Which makes chat less fun, but so it goes.
11:41 am
jmcnrick

either way is fine for me. I haven't se** fireworks in years
11:42 am
hurshy

cluing has been a big part of babble for as long as i've been playing. i don't think there was an old non-blurt norm
11:42 am
jmcnrick

<===not the brightest bulb on the tree
11:42 am
hurshy

it's always been a very collaborative game
11:43 am
MollyL

Cluing is different from just blurting out a word because you found it.
11:43 am
cybernan

just tuned in for a peek before breakfast. Have to say I don't like it when people throw out defs. and clues at the flip -- don't mind the calls for the 7's and 8's but no clues please.
11:43 am
hokie carla

but this isn't the flip
11:43 am
hurshy

if a word is sufficiently weird, like pf4, i figure lots of people will not see it, and will appreciate the alert. i don't mention every word i find.
11:44 am
MollyL

Someone blurted peri yesterday. I mean really.
11:44 am
hokie carla

and I agree, I don't like seeing words clued or offered without a clue request when I start playing so I don't look for a while
11:44 am
hokie carla

but how many times have we told peri she gets a tiara? is that the blurting?
11:45 am
hurshy

sometimes those things are just accidents, or newer players
11:45 am
MollyL

That is what I do too Carla. I don't look at chat until I have found all the words I think I am going to find.
11:45 am
cybernan

you mean at the flip molly ? That is why I left.
11:45 am
jmcnrick

I will remind friends of my 200 word post
11:45 am
jmcnrick

I will remind friends of my 200 word post
11:45 am
jmcnrick

*hic*
11:46 am
MollyL

That was Babble history JMC
11:46 am
hokie carla

and I do disagree with hurshy saying it's always been collaborative. you know, I've read all the early chats. it was very competitive at first
11:46 am
cybernan

There was one player last night (or maybe it was the night before) that gave a clue for everyword she found as she found it it. Most annoying.
11:46 am
hurshy

yeah, that would be bad, at the flip especially
11:46 am
jmcnrick

that would be annoying but you can ask people not to clue all the words
11:46 am
hokie carla

I did see some recently but don't rem. who the poster was that I was like, did someone ask for help on that?
11:46 am
MollyL

I don't think I have ever laughed so hard while playing this game. And yes Nan, that was annoying.
11:47 am
jmcnrick

at me or the person cluing last night (or the night before)?
11:47 am
cybernan

I agree with Carla the clues should be given when asked for.
11:47 am
MollyL

I think some people drunk Babble on occasion.
11:47 am
jmcnrick

*adds clown shoes and hat*
11:48 am
MollyL

No JMC at what you did. It was hysterical.
11:48 am
hokie carla

would be nice if y'all remembered when that was so I could read the chat
11:48 am
jmcnrick

I blushed so hard I was sure everyone could feel it
11:49 am
MollyL

Someone please have me committed if I start remembering dates of what was posted and when.
11:49 am
jmcnrick

gosh it was years ago hokie. . .
11:49 am
jmcnrick

maybe 2009?
11:49 am

jmc's faux pas goes down in Babble history.

I had been around long enough to know to use lickety. . .
11:50 am
jmcnrick

I try to big!
11:50 am
MollyL

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often since LIckety added the copy/paste feature. Origami is my echo today.
11:51 am
hokie carla

it's a cautionary tale. I double check before pasting that I'm on the right screen.
11:51 am
hurshy

as usual, i'm finding S and P the hardest
11:52 am
hokie carla

need 7+5 S and 9 P, so not that easy
11:52 am
jmcnrick

I still blush a little. . .
11:52 am
cybernan

I use expert, so have been guilty of posting one or two words when I didn't move the cursor from the chat.
11:53 am
cybernan

speaking of clues -- pi 7? -- still haven't found it
11:53 am
MollyL

JMC the red-faced Babbler, you'll go down in history
11:53 am
hokie carla

still need 5 7's
11:54 am
hokie carla

actually 4, I can't subtract today
11:54 am
cybernan

need 2 more -- the pi 7 was called last night - don't know what my other missing one is
11:54 am
hokie carla

but I don't have pi7
11:55 am
hurshy

me neither, though i just found a bunch more pe words
11:55 am
jmcnrick

*adds reindeer horns*
11:56 am
mattygroves

I also do not have the pi7 - does anyone have the full stats handy?
11:56 am
hurshy

got it
11:56 am
hurshy

add the goose and then pl
11:57 am
mattygroves

That did it. Thanks.
11:57 am
cybernan

ty hurshy - like the 2fers :)
11:58 am
hurshy

i have one su7, are there other s7s?
11:59 am
mattygroves

There's an sp7 (weird one) - I don't have the SU7
11:59 am
hokie carla

I just have su7
11:59 am
cybernan

I only have one su 7
11:59 am
cybernan

ty matty - looking for the sp - my last one
12:00 pm
hurshy

su7 is the plural of su6 which i wouldn't have thought you could pluralize but i tried it anyway because babble
12:00 pm
hokie carla

matty, the su7 is a pl adj
12:00 pm
mattygroves

I shall look! I only have one su6 which cannot be pluralled as the last letter is not near the S...but looking!
12:00 pm
hokie carla

a body position
12:01 pm
hurshy

guess i need whatever THAT su6 is, then
12:01 pm
mattygroves

Gotya. Thanks!
12:01 pm
cybernan

su 7 is a puralized adjective
12:01 pm
hurshy

oh, ah, duh
12:01 pm
hurshy

and found the sp7
12:02 pm
jmcnrick

I am taking my reindeer horns for a break
12:02 pm
mattygroves

Found it - thanks for the help - one 7 left to find (though I don't know what it is - I've been playing sporadically today as pesky work has interfered.)
12:02 pm
hurshy

i have two 7s left to find
12:02 pm
cybernan

is the sp 7 a compound or weird in any way?
12:02 pm
mattygroves

I have the de, the fu, the pi, the sp and su.
12:02 pm
mattygroves

The SP is weird
12:03 pm
mattygroves

Sounds like a word for excellent or wonderful...until the last two letters
12:03 pm
hurshy

aha thanks, got the de now
12:03 pm
mattygroves

Anyone know what 7 I'm missing?
12:05 pm
hurshy

AHA
12:05 pm
hurshy

un7
12:06 pm
mattygroves

Ah, figures. I shall look. Weird word or normal word?
12:06 pm
cybernan

think I'm on the wrong track for the sp -- was using the firt 5 letters of the word for excellent, but can't find two letters to add to tht
12:06 pm
hurshy

not TOO weird, but not USED a lot either
12:07 pm
mattygroves

Ah hah! Found it, thank you!
12:07 pm
cybernan

ah - have it now - ty matty
12:08 pm
cybernan

we have a brand of sugar substitute in Canada that is close to that
12:08 pm
mattygroves

We have the same brand in the UK
12:08 pm

woot, that got me my last p
12:10 pm
hokie carla

we also have that sugar sub. but I'm still not finding the SP7
12:11 pm
hurshy

ditch the D in the sugar sub
12:11 pm
hurshy

use a vowel in its place
12:11 pm
cybernan

very like the sugar sub. change one letter
12:13 pm
hokie carla

finally, thanks village
12:16 pm

monica lewinsky did not de7 her little black dress
12:21 pm

it's a noun... it may not mean whatever you think it means
12:21 pm
hokie carla

stop using that word! 😁
12:25 pm
windingwake

Hirshi, after that clue all I can think is ‘de-stain’. Thanks for that. =P
12:26 pm
hokie carla

oh, I remember the word now from previous grids
12:26 pm
windingwake

…my autocorrect does not like hurshy
12:26 pm

This reminds me of something I just read by a teacher about an admission essay where the student used the phrace "my self-defecating sense of humor". 😊😊

Sugar substitute?
12:39 pm

12:45 pm

Don't know the sugar substitute.... saccharine? Equal?
12:46 pm
hokie carla

yellow packets
12:46 pm

12:47 pm

Aspartame? Stevia?
12:47 pm
hokie carla

except it starts with SP
12:47 pm
Sophie512

so, for the Monica clue, I tried DESMELL apparently, cleaning something is not desmelling it
12:48 pm
Sophie512

my 14 year old grandson needs to desmell his tennis shoes
12:49 pm
hokie carla

the monica post wasn't a clue!
12:49 pm
hokie carla

it's not a real word, it was a joke saying she didn't remove the se5 from her dress
12:50 pm
Uneaixoise

Easier sp clue please????
12:51 pm
hokie carla

an organ some people have ruptured minus a vowel + a postal abbrev for a 4 letter state
12:51 pm
cybernan

de 7 has to do with land ownership -- old fashioned word
12:52 pm
hokie carla

it is an anagram of my monica joke
12:53 pm
cybernan

se 7 is also a homophone for the de 6/24 that means to put down in an insulting manner
12:54 pm
cybernan

*meant de 7
12:54 pm

12:54 pm

12:56 pm
rururocks

thankfully une didn't have a typo
12:56 pm
hokie carla

she is trying to find SP7 but can't think of the sugar sub so I wasn't trying a different clue
12:57 pm
hokie carla

I was trying
12:57 pm
cybernan

sp + most of borrow's opposite + 2 vowels
12:59 pm
Uneaixoise

Got the sp!!!
12:59 pm

I thought that SP sugar substitute was pretty well known. Not as well known as Stevia, thanks to Breaking Bad.
1:02 pm
Uneaixoise

Aahh, love me some Breaking Bad!
1:02 pm
hokie carla

I think it is but une was just having a mental block of it
1:02 pm
hokie carla

I could be wrong though
1:02 pm
hokie carla

maybe she hasn't ever heard of it
1:04 pm
Uneaixoise

Have heard if it.....just hard day......no sleep plus fighting ice and snow to take pups out to potty without falling and breaking a leg ...
1:04 pm
MollyL

Une, I just rewatched it again over the Christmas holidays. I am always amazed at the great way that story and the characters develop.
1:05 pm
Uneaixoise

I've rewatched it multiple times!!

If you go out to restaurants, it is kind of hard to miss the little yellow packets.

2:31 pm

I hate it when life interferes with Babble.
2:31 pm

Nan keeps referring to it as 12th Night. Do protestants not celebrate The Epiphany?

I thought yesterday was 12th night and today is The Epiphany.

no electronic spies are allowed in my house. I turn off location, tape over cameras, set my electronic privacy levels at the highest rating.

Alexa is an electronic spy? That's funny considering how poorly programmed she is.

my grand children thought I would really enjoy Alexa... I'm not really sure yet
2:36 pm

yes, but my phone is too ancient
2:36 pm

I like it for Amazon music.
2:36 pm

speaking of which, all of a sudden i am getting a sh*tload of spam. i ordered from macys and used that email
2:36 pm

my brother used it to play music, sounds great
2:37 pm

I have an email just for buying stuff.
2:37 pm
72 Temple Owl

i mean, uses alexa for music instead of radio
2:37 pm

People don't need access your shopping habits to flood you with spam. Retailers sell their mailing lists.
2:38 pm
BzznBea

I use SMX for my music.
2:38 pm

so do...but it does link to my real email where the spam is coming
2:38 pm

6:55 pm

6:56 pm
penquis

i did better on the bee when i went back a second time....made it to genius today.... i sucked yesterday...
6:57 pm

6:57 pm

6:58 pm

7:14 pm
penquis

7:14 pm
hokie carla

no worries, I appreciate the help!
7:17 pm
grannyrose

is the NYT spelling bee similar to my target word. i have 9 letters with one which must be used in all words of 4 letters or more.
7:19 pm
penquis

yes, similar....there are seven letters....every word must use the center letter....the grid looks like honeycomb, hence the name....
7:19 pm
penquis

you can use letters more than once in the Bee....
7:20 pm
penquis

like if there is one A, you can use it twice in the same word...
7:21 pm
grannyrose

ahhhh, i am only allowed to use a letter once if it is not repeated already. i think i have seen similar puzzles in my logic puzzle books.
7:22 pm
penquis

yes, i have, too...
7:23 pm

7:35 pm
dan2bit

7:35 pm
penquis

7:35 pm
hokie carla

I took 5 today too. I got 3 or 4 yesterday. jmc or someone here got 2 today.
7:35 pm
Gillie

Actually, it might be easier if it let you guess non-words
7:35 pm
penquis

i was just wondering about that....
7:35 pm
hokie carla

well, I was hoping you could just put in letters
7:36 pm
hokie carla

but I discovered today you can't
7:37 pm
hokie carla

I got the 4th letter and couldn't think of any words based on my letters left so I was hoping to just enter some in random order.
7:37 pm
dcseain

yeah, needing to go in order left to right top to bottom is frustrating
7:38 pm
