4:26 am

mattygroves

Are those EN9 words likely to be words I might use?

4:27 am

Gillie

One of them is a possibility. I haven't found the other yet.

4:28 am

mattygroves

OK, ta!

5:30 am

MollyL

I don't know about possibililty. The en words have to do with making a holy place of. One is plural, the other is who is honored in the holy place.

5:39 am

mattygroves

Thank you Molly - got them both!

5:44 am

MollyL

Do you understand the understand thing? Maybe I misunderstood the clue.

5:45 am

MollyL

*possibility thing

5:52 am

mattygroves

I think perhaps she meant that I'd 'possibly' use it regularly?

6:01 am

MollyL

Oh, I see now.

8:43 am

welki

'morning, all

8:44 am

hokie carla

hey welki, where in the world are you this morning?

8:45 am

welki

we're in heber city, utah about 100 feet from one of the best trout streams in the world. BUT - it's snowing and really windy today, so a shopping day

8:46 am

hokie carla

oh no! I remember you were going there, just didn't know if you were still there. joy dropped in last night and said she was just back from a trip to zion and bryce canyon, so you all were probably there at the same time!

8:46 am

welki

heh - at some point, we'll have to collect our chairs from wherever they've blown to

8:47 am

hokie carla

yeah, we've had days like that

8:47 am

welki

it's the first bad weather day we've had - only a few showers until now. cannot complain one bit!

awww, wish i'd known she was there! i wonder if she stayed at same campground

8:48 am

hokie carla

I don't know if she camped

8:49 am

welki

zion reminded me of banff - it was so crowded and glamped up

8:49 am

hokie carla

she disappeared again after I told her you were there

8:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, we drove through the town of banff and didnt' even park and get out. it looked so touristy.

8:49 am

welki

we didn't make it to bryce - i should have planned a different route. maybe next time

8:50 am

hokie carla

but the park Banff wasn't too bad when we were there

8:51 am

hokie carla

everyone always goes on about zion but we loved bryce so much I can't imagine it was that much better. we'll have to ask joy since she's been to both.

8:52 am

rururocks

they're both beautiful.. just a different kind of beauty

8:52 am

welki

we also went to kolob canyon, still in zion park, but a different way in - lots of places to pull over, fewer people

8:52 am

hokie carla

hey ruru

8:53 am

welki

growing up, there were books of bryce and glen canyons - i think i wore the photos out, looking at them so often

8:53 am

welki

hi ru

9:02 am

9:24 am

montreal13

9:24 am

hokie carla

10:39 am

moolingwa

despite his dismissal of it

10:39 am

hokie carla

yes, and don't call me shirley

10:40 am

hokie carla

I think I did see one episode, and a girl had a tick in her hooha and they thought it was lu5 until they found the tick. and now every time I'm in the woods I hope I don't end up with a tick there.

10:40 am

moolingwa

moolingwa

oh I had one

11:32 am

hokie carla

6-14-24-6-5-0

11:32 am

penquis

it's tricky because one 9 ends in one place and the other ends in a different place...

11:32 am

hokie carla

they also come from different e's

11:32 am

moolingwa

ah, but didn't have the other one

11:32 am

moolingwa

tx

11:32 am

hurshy

oh

11:32 am

penquis

hope i wasn't unhelpful....just trying not to give too much away...

11:33 am

hurshy

so the 9s are not that closely related to each other?

11:33 am

hokie carla

but now I grayed 1st col E

11:33 am

moolingwa

I thought the plural was an 8 :)

11:33 am

hurshy

ohhh i see

11:33 am

penquis

very related...

11:33 am

hurshy

but why can you be that and not the other?? oh well

11:33 am

moolingwa

tx pen

11:34 am

penquis

yw...

11:34 am

hokie carla

11:34 am

moolingwa

that handbag looks very pursish

11:34 am

hokie carla

ooh, finally found my last H

11:34 am

moolingwa

11:34 am

penquis

11:35 am

penquis

mool...you must have a related word to the one you made up....

11:35 am

moolingwa

I may have :)

11:35 am

hokie carla

I have 2 related to that, are you saying there are more?

11:36 am

moolingwa

11:37 am

penquis

4:04 pm

Meatball421

any definition for the two en9?

4:05 pm

periwinkle

do you have en8 to cherish as sacred? the en9s build off of that

4:05 pm

Meatball421

oooh NOW I do thanks to you..take it from there?

4:05 pm

periwinkle

yes

4:06 pm

Meatball421

and the othr en9?

4:06 pm

periwinkle

one is a plural.

4:06 pm

periwinkle

the other is the one who

4:06 pm

Meatball421

yes that's the one I got from your clue

4:08 pm

Meatball421

that's not working for me

4:10 pm

Meatball421

you're saying the other en9 but end it with an R?

4:12 pm

periwinkle

ends in double vowel

4:18 pm

periwinkle

who is honored in the holy place is the en9 that you need. it ends in double vowel

4:21 pm

periwinkle

did that help?

4:36 pm

Uneaixoise

50 to go.....ugh

4:39 pm

cherlyq

4:43 pm

moolingwa

just found a 4/5 combo

4:43 pm

hokie carla

hey, I found one word in the last few hours and it was a 6.

4:44 pm

hokie carla

tried making it more for a 7 but nooo

4:44 pm

moolingwa

so you/re basically travelling at 1 WPH...

4:45 pm

hokie carla

maybe

4:45 pm

hokie carla

and my WPT went from 4.7 to 5.5

4:45 pm

moolingwa

heh

4:45 pm

hokie carla

I guess I could say that means I closed out some tiles which is good?

4:46 pm

moolingwa

sure, you can say that for sure

4:46 pm

moolingwa

I appear to be stuck on repeat

4:46 pm

hokie carla

doubling down on the penalty box

4:46 pm

hokie carla

thought if someone didn't have sure yet, they've got bigger problems

4:46 pm

moolingwa

certainly?

4:47 pm

hokie carla

*though

4:47 pm

moolingwa

sinup - a hedonistic gathering

4:47 pm

hokie carla

still have 9 on upper S, P, and L, and 8 B

4:48 pm

moolingwa

my biggest tile now is the upper S - 5

4:48 pm

hokie carla

I'm definitely stuck on repeat

4:48 pm

moolingwa

have 4 on B, lower S, L and P

4:49 pm

moolingwa

I'm just going through my word list to make sure I didn't miss any singles/plurals

4:49 pm

hokie carla

found a lower S!

4:49 pm

hokie carla

now just 5 on that one

4:49 pm

moolingwa

time to accelerate!

4:50 pm

hokie carla

I found an early video game console

4:51 pm

moolingwa

ooh, found a 6...wasn't a missing plural or singular, but going through my words made me think of it

4:51 pm

moolingwa

2.6 WPT now

4:51 pm

hokie carla

ooh, found another S from the lower

4:52 pm

moolingwa

you're really flying now

4:52 pm

moolingwa

what's that...3 WPH rate now?

4:52 pm

hokie carla

unstoppable now. except at this rate 1am may not be enough time

4:52 pm

moolingwa

true

4:53 pm

hokie carla

doh, there's another - 'twas a plural

4:53 pm

moolingwa

I have found no missed plurals/singulars yet

4:54 pm

hokie carla

well you probably didn't miss them 🤣

4:54 pm

moolingwa

I often do

4:54 pm

moolingwa

sometimes I think I've tried a word and then realise it was on a previous day's board

4:56 pm

moolingwa

ah, found a plural I'd missed

4:56 pm

hokie carla

aha!

4:56 pm

moolingwa

25 to go

4:56 pm

Soodle

I slogged through this today. The B’s L’s and esses nearly broke my heart. I managed to finish though, so happy to assist in reducing other’s heartbreak. 😆

4:56 pm

hokie carla

57

4:56 pm

moolingwa

wasn't a wasted effort after all

4:56 pm

moolingwa

nice soods

4:57 pm

moolingwa

it's a beastly one today

4:57 pm

hokie carla

well done, soodle. I'm just going to not worry about it.

4:58 pm

Soodle

Beastly is a mild description.

4:58 pm

moolingwa

I try not to ever worry about finishing a board...I enjoy them more that way

4:58 pm

hokie carla

I am completely lost on the L's. I even found a UK spelling today on my own. that's how much I've looked at the L.

4:58 pm

moolingwa

4-4-7-7-3

5:00 pm

hokie carla

well, well, just found a li6/7 set of regular words

5:00 pm

Soodle

Oh my God Mool. The Babble police will arrest you & sentencd

5:01 pm

moolingwa

I like to live on the edge :)

5:01 pm

moolingwa

I hear you hoke

5:01 pm

hokie carla

sometimes I'll finish just because I have to see what has been eluding me all day but then grids like this I just don't care

5:01 pm

NANCY

clue for re 840 please. going blind on this one

5:02 pm

moolingwa

think army nancy

5:02 pm

hokie carla

oh, I don't have but will look, nancy. do you know which R?

5:02 pm

hokie carla

ah, thanks, moo

5:02 pm

Soodle

Sentence you to 10 years of hard labor in the penalty box (!) for your 4.58pm post.

5:02 pm

hokie carla

I tried reup several times

5:03 pm

moolingwa

:)

5:03 pm

NANCY

ty moo got it

5:03 pm

moolingwa

when I started I used to be driven to finish every board...then I kind of rethought that

5:04 pm

moolingwa

not worth getting upset about missing words like reperk

5:06 pm

hokie carla

I was the same and then I took like a 10 year hiatus and it cured me. I can remember before lickety's list using a spreadsheet and just being obsessed. I still spend way too much time. I'm about to institute a "stop playing at 10am and then go back at night" rule so I can get more done in the day.

5:06 pm

hokie carla

rule

5:07 pm

moolingwa

yeah, I step away from it every now and again

5:07 pm

Sophie512

I've had errands to run today (check that, there is no running in this boot) but I did think I would be happy with half, but haven't even gotten that.

5:08 pm

hokie carla

it's a slog for sure, sophie

5:08 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's been a tough one

5:08 pm

hokie carla

speaking of stepping away, think I'll go make supper. TTFN

5:08 pm

NANCY

I detest re words and still have 38 re and s words to go.

5:08 pm

moolingwa

sounds like fun, I've got about 30 more minutes to go

5:09 pm

moolingwa

a lot of the re words aren't do again words

5:10 pm

moolingwa

though there are several do again ones

5:10 pm

moolingwa

I have two r's left, one from the top row, one from the bottom

5:11 pm

moolingwa

and a total of 8 S words remaining...so there's that

5:29 pm

mkg

Hi all. Any clues for either 9? Ty. I think they start with en but otherwise no idea.

5:29 pm

Sophie512

hang on I have but it was this am

5:30 pm

Sophie512

yes EN both just different suffixes

5:31 pm

Sophie512

8 is base word then both 9s follow

5:31 pm

Sophie512

to cherish and preserve

5:32 pm

Sophie512

from bottom left E

5:35 pm

mkg

Great clues. Got one of them. Ty

5:36 pm

mkg

Not seening a second one. Tried to end with R but no take.

5:37 pm

mkg

Is the word after en the same word or another word?

5:40 pm

moolingwa

one who is e8

5:40 pm

mkg

Got it. Ty.

5:40 pm

mkg

Now to get half way

6:51 pm

hokie carla

6:52 pm

hokie carla

I do have all the u's though if you want help

6:52 pm

penquis

i listed at 50....

6:52 pm

penquis

i am missing one U from the top left...

6:52 pm

hokie carla

my last one there was UR7, a new one to me

6:52 pm

Lizlin

Good morning. Also just listed at 50 - shaking my head at some of the obvious words I've missed!

6:53 pm

penquis

but i think i found it....it is not appearing in my list but it says i already have it...

6:53 pm

penquis

always the case, liz... ;o)

6:53 pm

hokie carla

hey lizlin!

6:53 pm

penquis

ah for some reason it will appear on the website but not on Babble Expert...

6:54 pm

penquis

so i have all the Us...

6:54 pm

penquis

is the re 8/55 an again word?

6:54 pm

hokie carla

I still need 4 7's and that is one

6:54 pm

Lizlin

I don't have it yet.

6:55 pm

penquis

found it...it is an again word...

6:56 pm

Lizlin

thanks - will keep that in mind

6:56 pm

hokie carla

what are we doing again? P&TY

6:56 pm

penquis

the re 8/55 is an again word...

6:57 pm

hokie carla

yes, but what is a clue for the base word?

6:57 pm

penquis

there wasn't one....the base word is a P word that you probably already have...

6:58 pm

hokie carla

well, I still need 9 p's, so maybe not. will look, though, thanks.

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Thanks - that helped.

6:59 pm

penquis

it's not RE very often.....the police have to do it sometimes with repeat offenders....

7:01 pm

penquis

SI 7 anyone?

7:01 pm

Lizlin

Just the one I am looking for

7:02 pm

hokie carla

hmm, doesn't work with the p6 I have

7:02 pm

penquis

we are on a parallel course... ;o)

7:02 pm

hokie carla

I do not have any si7

7:02 pm

Lizlin

It'll be a chase for you to find that p 6

7:02 pm

hokie carla

do you know which S?

7:03 pm

Lizlin

Could be either from my grid

7:03 pm

penquis

dk...

7:04 pm

Lizlin

Most likely the one in the 4th column - only missing one from the other s - but of course, that could be the one.

7:04 pm

hokie carla

what's the points for it?

7:05 pm

Lizlin

sl7/32

7:05 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I need 3 on the lower and 9 on the upper

7:06 pm

penquis

two and one for me...

7:06 pm

Lizlin

Hmm! 2 and 1 for me now too - definitely paralleling

7:06 pm

hokie carla

think I will look at the list.

7:06 pm

penquis

ok...it's from the bottom S....

7:06 pm

Lizlin

:)

7:07 pm

penquis

my other missing S is the st 8/40...

7:07 pm

Lizlin

Want a clue?

7:07 pm

penquis

7:08 pm

7:08 pm
