9:25 am

welki

i have 25 left - haven't been finishing lately. too much to do

9:27 am

Aloyisius

fw here.. need any clues?

9:27 am

welki

well done, aloy!

9:28 am

Aloyisius

ty, it helped that I actually remembered some weirdo words from the past

9:30 am

Aloyisius

.. not many in this grid for a change. Happy Babbling. Off to chore-land, yippee.

9:35 am

rururocks

was zion gorgeous to you welki?

9:42 am

welki

we got here yesterday afternoon - it's spectacular so far, but once we get into the park (and further to bryce canyon), i think we'll be amazed

9:43 am

welki

hang on one sec - i'll change my icon to the view from our campsite

9:44 am

welki

it's better in person :)

9:47 am

welki

i can see how this terrain might not be to everyone's liking, but i love it - the subtle changes in color in the rock formations, the perseverance of plants/animals to thrive in this area is pretty impressive

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

surprised to see you here...

9:48 am

rururocks

all those parks are amazing. Canyon de Chelly is amazing

9:48 am

rururocks

de Chelly is my favorite spot.. it's stunning

9:50 am

welki

i've never been, but read tony hillerman's book

9:50 am

welki

it's early and chilly right now, owl - we'll get moving after breakfast

9:50 am

hokie carla

*hard refreshes to see welki's pic

9:51 am

moolingwa

I do like Zion

9:51 am

hokie carla

we never made it to zion

9:52 am

moolingwa

Been there twice

9:52 am

hokie carla

11 left here

9:52 am

moolingwa

2 left

9:52 am

moolingwa

1 left

9:53 am

hokie carla

I keep not being sleepy so I played at the flip. not sure I'll see anything new or not.

9:53 am

welki

we'll be here for 5 days and then north to a place alongside the provo river - might do a little flyfishing

9:53 am

hokie carla

10!

9:53 am

moolingwa

sounds relaxing

9:53 am

hokie carla

have never done flyfishing, welki

9:54 am

rururocks

wouldn't it be easier to catch flies on pest strips instead of fishing?

9:54 am

moolingwa

but where's the sport in that ru?

9:54 am

hokie carla

that does sound easier

9:54 am

moolingwa

that'd be akin to riding a motorbike along a hiking trail :)

9:54 am

welki

not that kind of fly ;)

9:54 am

rururocks

tough to hook those little suckers

9:54 am

hokie carla

just realized 4 of my last 10 are y's

9:55 am

moolingwa

just need the right lure ru

9:55 am

rururocks

in San Francisco Flyfishing has to do with Pants mostly

9:56 am

welki

oof - raining here, looks like a go-to-town-shopping day

9:56 am

welki

other than the first night's snowstorm, this is the first precipitation we've had

9:56 am

hokie carla

E Yx4 A TT A R

9:57 am

moolingwa

yeah, it's been dry this winter...except January

9:57 am

moolingwa

T

9:57 am

hokie carla

wow, that's great. we get rained on pretty much every time we camp

9:57 am

rururocks

what does that acronym mean hokie :D

9:57 am

hokie carla

but was definitely not as common out west

9:57 am

moolingwa

the words she has left to find

9:57 am

hokie carla

that means guess my missing words from those letters, ruru

9:58 am

moolingwa

y 5/6 combo...y 4/5 combo is my guess

9:58 am

hokie carla

but don't guess the T

9:58 am

welki

tried to get a spot at ruby's, hokie - full (which is why we're going north after zion)

9:58 am

hokie carla

bummer

9:58 am

moolingwa

e5 I'd guess

9:58 am

welki

they can fit us in for 1-3 days, but i want to stay at the next place for 9 days

9:59 am

moolingwa

a5 maybe

9:59 am

hokie carla

yeah, I get it

9:59 am

moolingwa

maybe a4

10:00 am

hokie carla

I just found the a4, it was the alt sp a5

10:00 am

hokie carla

you'd think I would look for the other when I find one

10:01 am

moolingwa

yeah, then maybe you're missing e4

10:01 am

hokie carla

no, I have that. it's the middle e I need.

10:02 am

moolingwa

then e5, like I guessed before

10:03 am

moolingwa

fw

10:03 am

moolingwa

pretty sure one of your t's is my last word...t6

10:04 am

hokie carla

probably. the only one I have is a pl

10:05 am

mael

ohh, found the 8, nice word

10:05 am

hokie carla

ok, got the E

10:05 am

hokie carla

hey mael!

10:06 am

mael

hey there! just started today :)

10:06 am

hokie carla

1-3-4 left. not gonna find 4 6's on my own.

10:07 am

hokie carla

toerid - a fungus remover

10:07 am

mael

it's been quick so far but I can see how i'll get stuck in a minute

10:08 am

hokie carla

ah, probably not. I got stuck at 11 left but that was at like 2am, so you can go all the way this morning. plus, you're better at this game.

10:10 am

mael

you're pretty excellent at this game yourself :)

10:10 am

mael

I just like word puzzles of all kinds

10:10 am

hokie carla

yep, me too

10:12 am

hokie carla

well, I'm definitely stuck at 8 until someone asks for clues

10:15 am

mael

I've got 14 left, hmm

10:24 am

72 Temple Owl

is the eight part of a 7/8?

10:25 am

mael

no, it's a stand alone

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

thank you. stats pls?

10:25 am

hokie carla

ir8

10:25 am

mael

ir8/50

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

thank you

10:27 am

mael

3 left, all 6s.

10:27 am

mael

must be those sixes you were talking about, Hokie

10:27 am

72 Temple Owl

i find 6 letter wrods the hardest

10:28 am

mael

me too, to be honest

10:28 am

72 Temple Owl

got the 8 ty

10:28 am

mael

well, found an obvious one. Once I know which letter they come from things look easier at leat!

10:28 am

mael

... shit, I found it and I'll get myself to the PB

10:29 am

mael

that was unfortunate haha

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

well i am sure it helped someone...

10:34 am

hurshy

hmm, i don't have enough ideas for the Y

10:35 am

moolingwa

Need any clues?

10:36 am

hokie carla

yes!

10:36 am

hokie carla

oh, you're asking TO

10:36 am

hurshy

lol

10:36 am

hokie carla

hurshy, I still need 4 y's and have tried everything

10:37 am

moolingwa

anyone :)

10:37 am

hokie carla

moo, can you clue the T6?

10:37 am

moolingwa

that was my last word...

10:37 am

hurshy

yeah same here, need 4 y

10:37 am

hokie carla

and guess my last A from the upper right

10:38 am

moolingwa

definition isn't going to be helpful, but in terms of spelling, it's a t5 + 1 letter

10:38 am

hurshy

i have a t6 that is a plural

10:38 am

hokie carla

I know, you keep saying that but it's not a clue 😜

10:38 am

moolingwa

a4?

10:38 am

hurshy

ai6/18 is my guess for your A

10:38 am

hokie carla

good guess, hurshy

10:39 am

moolingwa

apparently the t6 is some form of art from the Rennaissance period

10:39 am

hokie carla

I still don't see ai6 but typed it

10:39 am

Sophie512

yes, hurshy, add another vowel

10:40 am

hurshy

you're saying there are two T6?

10:40 am

hokie carla

that's what they're saying

10:40 am

hokie carla

maybe that t5 is my other missing T

10:40 am

hokie carla

is this TE or TA?

10:41 am

hurshy

the ones i have are te5/10 and plural

10:41 am

hokie carla

or TI

10:41 am

hokie carla

or TO

10:41 am

hurshy

they are babblets we have a lot

10:41 am

hokie carla

that's what I have, hurshy

10:41 am

mael

FW! need any clues?

10:41 am

Sophie512

mine is ta

10:42 am

hokie carla

yes, a lot 🤣😭

10:42 am

hurshy

well then that isn't related to the te5

10:42 am

mael

I have a ta6 and a te6, both are plurals but one's a latin plural

10:42 am

Sophie512

congrats, Mael, just got here basically never seen so many useless consonants

10:43 am

hokie carla

ok, then my t's are TA5 and TA6. as soon as I find the 5 I'll find the 6.

10:43 am

mael

or rather, not latin, but italian :)

10:43 am

cybernan

good morning all - could I have a clue for that te 5-6 combo please?

10:44 am

mael

think bones, hokie

10:44 am

hurshy

woooeee found the 8

10:44 am

hokie carla

the te5/6 we have all the time, nan. the 5 ends in 2 vowels.

10:44 am

mael

technically a hat, nan, but it's a common babblet with its plural

10:44 am

hokie carla

aha, thank you, mael. that did it.

10:45 am

hokie carla

ok, now what is my missing R

10:45 am

hokie carla

1-2-2 left. 1 R and 4 Y

10:45 am

mael

there is only one r6, it's a dried fruit

10:45 am

cybernan

not common to me

10:45 am

cybernan

don't see anything remotely possible

10:46 am

mael

I guess I see it in babble all the time, would never in a million years use it in conversation

10:46 am

hokie carla

ha, thought that was just a phantom

10:46 am

cybernan

oh got it -- isn't that japanese?

10:46 am

hokie carla

yes, I only know the te5 from babble

10:47 am

mael

nah, it's a hat apparently

10:47 am

hokie carla

I don't know nan, def says it's an area between india and nepal or a hat worn in subtropics

10:47 am

mael

but I only looked it up right now after playing for 10 years so

10:47 am

hokie carla

same

10:47 am

hokie carla

ok, now just those pesky 4 y's left

10:48 am

cybernan

now i need those 4 y's -- a 4-5 and 5-6 combo I think someone said

10:48 am

hokie carla

that fits with what I have left

10:48 am

mael

I always remember it because of the se5 word that ends the same but is an actual word (not in the puzzle, but would give away the t5)

10:49 am

hurshy

wow just put in a di7 that i did NOT expect to work and it DID

10:49 am

hokie carla

ok, found the 4/5

10:49 am

mael

that's how I found it too, hursh

10:49 am

mael

the y5/6 sounds like a measure of distance

10:49 am

hurshy

ok so then the other 7 must be i, G, or S?

10:50 am

moolingwa

if you want me to tell you hursh I can

10:50 am

hokie carla

G7

10:50 am

hurshy

go for it

10:50 am

moolingwa

g7, it's a plural

10:50 am

hurshy

or just jump the gun like hokie lol

10:51 am

mael

have a great day everyone! need to head to the orthodontist to discuss my poor kid's braces

10:52 am

hokie carla

bye mael!

10:52 am

mael

bye bye!

10:52 am

hokie carla

finally finished here!

10:53 am

cybernan

grats mael and carla - 16 left here and listing soon

10:54 am

hurshy

is this normal? should i be seeing it?

10:54 am

hokie carla

no, not normal

10:54 am

hurshy

ok then clue please? :)

10:55 am

hokie carla

maels clue about measure of distance helped but took me a while. basically 3 feet with an extra letter inside.

10:55 am

hurshy

haha, ok thanks for those, only, i was referring to the G6 & 7

10:55 am

hokie carla

the 4/5 is that minus a letter, rhymes with flying animal

10:55 am

hurshy

but now i'm done with Y so that is spiffy

10:56 am

hokie carla

ah. think about what people wear on their necks or over shoes

10:56 am

cybernan

ga 6-7 -- those white toeless and heelless socks the members of a pipe band wear over their shoes

10:56 am

hurshy

thanks

10:56 am

hurshy

so those were normal, although old-fashioned

10:57 am

hurshy

which leaves me with an S6

10:57 am

hurshy

got it!!

10:57 am

hokie carla

yes, those were normal. thought you were asking if the y's were normal earlier

10:57 am

cybernan

still looking for that y 5-6 combo -- is it a ye yi or ya?

10:58 am

hokie carla

ya

10:58 am

hokie carla

did you see my 10:55 post?

10:59 am

cybernan

got them -- ty -- kept trying ye and yi

11:00 am

cybernan
