good afternoon all

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Hi Sprite. 6:51 AM here.

5:57 am

sprite

hi Scrabs, almost 1 pm here. Always fun, the timezone thing. I wish you a wonderful day today.

5:57 am

mattygroves

Almost noon here (I have a call with a client at 12)

5:57 am

Scrabbler

I am waking up, getting motivated for work.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi matt

5:57 am

sprite

hiya matty!

5:58 am

sprite

I actually did a truckload of work this morning, the rest of the day should be low key, starting now with babble. Just some more time with our dog, but that is more relaxation than work

6:02 am

sprite

it is hot here, and tomorrow is Robs birthday.

6:03 am

Scrabbler

We will get close to 90F here later.

6:04 am

sprite

I don't do heat very well. Here, hot means humid and thunderstormy. Makes me feel like there's an elephant sitting on my neck. How are you with heat?

6:06 am

Scrabbler

I do not like heat. I prefer temps around 70F.

6:07 am

sprite

had to do a quick bit of math, that is around 21C. I prefer the temps to be around 18-19C. Or 21 with a bit of wind.

6:07 am

Scrabbler

Yes.

6:12 am

ItalianGreyhound

morning - waking to a low of 80 here

6:12 am

sprite

hiya IG, wow that is hot that early

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Hi IG. Stay cool.

6:13 am

ItalianGreyhound

6:24 am

6:25 am

Scrabbler

I hit a wall with 42 left. I want to find a few more before work.

6:25 am

ItalianGreyhound

yes, a vowel fest

6:25 am

sprite

go go goooo Scrabs!

6:25 am

Scrabbler

The U and bottom A elude me.

6:26 am

sprite

un4 is a babblet.
un5 pull down stacks

6:27 am

ItalianGreyhound

take down the sails for the U

6:27 am

Scrabbler

TY for un4...thinking about stacks

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Got it. TY.

6:28 am

sprite

ig's clue is better

6:28 am

sprite

which bottom A do you need?

6:28 am

Scrabbler

all 5, haha

6:28 am

Scrabbler

4th column, sorry

6:29 am

ItalianGreyhound

the shun words (AV)

6:29 am

sprite

I have an AV combo : to try and stay away from

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I greyed out the middle A.

6:29 am

Scrabbler

TY. That gave me 2 V words.

donnasc6dogs

apparently, the HEAT DOME we're all under here in the South is centered on Nashville--it's headed toward the mid-90s AGAIN today, 97% humidity and no rain in sight for at least 10 days

7:15 am

hokie carla

was supposed to be 101 here yesterday but we had a thunderstorm in the morning and I think it only got up to like 98. but so humid it felt like 102 when I walked winston.

7:20 am

ChampFit

Same here in Houston. So hot I can't take my pups out till after 7:30.

7:20 am

donnasc6dogs

our dogs refused to go out at midday yesterday; hc, I'm so jealous you got rain

7:21 am

ChampFit

It's definitely not a good time for them.

7:28 am

hokie carla

pretty sure there was hail mixed in and very crazy wind. I would tell you how much rain but it blew my rain gauge over.

7:43 am

Uneaixoise

Jealous of your rain!!

7:51 am

Shirlockc

wow blew your rain gauge over

7:52 am

Shirlockc

and i just realized that we all PB-ed

7:57 am

periwinkle

I do not think this grid is fun. Cannot find any of the 7's

7:57 am

periwinkle

I know what they start with

7:59 am

doseffing

... tr5 then tr7

7:59 am

periwinkle

I have a tr5 is there more than one of them

7:59 am

rururocks

How do you guys take the humidity. Ugh

7:59 am

doseffing

... one of Sheldon Coopers favourite things ... or what athletes do before competing

8:01 am

periwinkle

thank you great clue. Love the Big Bang tTheory

8:03 am

doseffing

... I remember when the show first became popular that someone did a survey of university physicists .... everyone claimed to know at least one Sheldon Cooper but no one would admit to being a Sheldon Cooper ... ... everyone thought of themselves as Leonard

8:07 am

donnasc6dogs

with a Mom like Leonard's? that inferiority complex was off the charts and allowed Sheldon to trample him

8:11 am

doseffing

... but if you take as one of the main aims of growing up the idea of overcoming the terrible things that one's parents do to you and becoming more or less normal and mature despite the stupid things that your parents did ... then Leonard becomes a heroic everyman ...

8:11 am

doseffing

... even if he is a whiner

8:14 am

donnasc6dogs

true--I'd prefer to hang with Leonard

8:15 am

hokie carla

we love that show and even love Young Sheldon

8:16 am

donnasc6dogs

I just loved how some of the jokes played out over years

8:16 am

donnasc6dogs

great writing

8:16 am

doseffing

... but you must also hang with a Sheldon from time to time because despite their selfishness and self focus they help drag you up to the higher levels or that one topic that they excel at ...

8:18 am

hokie carla

can anyone tell me the i stat?

8:18 am

Aloyisius

in4.4 hokie

8:18 am

doseffing

... in 4/4

8:18 am

hokie carla

hmmm, have been trying all kinds of in4

8:18 am

hokie carla

oh, that one

8:19 am

Aloyisius

yup, the babblet

8:19 am

hokie carla

now just need one more A from the last A for HOET

8:20 am

doseffing

... well unlike Sheldon who would have finished half an hour ago ... like Leonard I must leave the last 13 for later and the list ... ... luck to all who continue the struggle

8:21 am

hokie carla

bye dos

8:22 am

Aloyisius

fw.. stay cool, folks. Any clues needed before I scoot?

8:24 am

8:48 am

hokie carla

bye ruru

8:49 am

bichon

carla, sorry, don't understand

8:49 am

penquis

ty, carla....did not have that one...

8:50 am

hokie carla

well, it's like a chemistry word, maybe someone else can clue it better.if you look at the points, it has to have one more 2 pt tile besides the D, so really only a few ways to get that.

8:50 am

penquis

i thought your clue was fine...

8:52 am

hokie carla

yeah, but if she doesn't understand it maybe someone else can make it clearer.

8:55 am

penquis

it is a little twisty in the grid...

8:58 am

hurshy

golly gee

8:59 am

hurshy

i love it when i type something i don't think will work and it does work

9:00 am

penquis

sometimes it's easier to just type it in that to find the connecting letters...

9:00 am

hurshy

well i mean i saw connecting letters, i just didn't know it would be a real word

9:01 am

penquis

ah, another fun thing...

9:03 am

hurshy

if brrr counts why not grrr too?

9:04 am

penquis

the mysteries of enable...

9:32 am

Uneaixoise

10:02 am

Sophie512

10:04 am

hokie carla

hi sophie

10:06 am

ItalianGreyhound

on + farming prefic

10:07 am

ItalianGreyhound

prefix

10:07 am

hokie carla

weird, thanks

10:07 am

mael

what a weird word, thank you

10:07 am

Sophie512

thanks got it

10:07 am

hokie carla

so it's the plural for the ON6 phantom I was seeing

10:08 am

Sophie512

thinking orange is a phantom, right?

10:08 am

ItalianGreyhound

yw all

10:08 am

hokie carla

well, orange is a phantom too, but also on6 that's the singular to the on6 in the grid

10:09 am

hokie carla

are the u's both UN?

10:09 am

Sophie512

bye for now

10:09 am

ItalianGreyhound

yes

10:09 am

hokie carla

bye sophie

10:10 am

hokie carla

I have a UN4, what is the stat for the other?

10:10 am

ItalianGreyhound

5/16

10:11 am

hokie carla

ok, thanks.

10:11 am

mael

5 left and I only have one 7... hmm

10:11 am

hokie carla

aha

10:12 am

hokie carla

15 left here - 4-3-6-2
very 6 heavy as usual

10:13 am

Uneaixoise

Need the un5.....

10:13 am

hokie carla

think of a sailboat maybe

10:14 am

ItalianGreyhound

remove the sails and lines from a boat, Une

10:14 am

mael

lower a sail, une

10:14 am

mael

wow, we all had it! :)

10:14 am

hokie carla

LOL, it was a complete and total clue-a-rama

10:14 am

Uneaixoise

Tx!!!

10:16 am

mael

ohh found the 7s

10:16 am

hokie carla

nice

10:17 am

hokie carla

9 left now

10:18 am

hurshy

uh, what were they mael?

10:18 am

mael

FW! I was missing an easy ri5/6

10:18 am

mael

have a great day everyone

10:19 am

hokie carla

ah, that was my missing R's, thx

10:19 am

hokie carla

7 left - 1-0-4-2

10:19 am

hokie carla

what do you have left, hurshy, maybe we can narrow them down

10:19 am

hurshy

1-1-2-2

10:19 am

hokie carla

I have O GGG N T D

10:20 am

hokie carla

my guess is at least one is a G

10:20 am

hurshy

one from each O, 2 G, N, and bottom right A

10:20 am

hurshy

for T do you have the tr6 God (Father, Son, Spirit)?

10:21 am

hokie carla

um, don't see trinity, so you all must call it something else

10:21 am

hurshy

yeah there is another word for it as an adjective

10:22 am

hurshy

think french

10:22 am

hokie carla

I have a tr5/6 that is related

10:22 am

hokie carla

well, I don't know french so that rarely helps

10:22 am

hurshy

yeah that's not what i mean those are nouns too

10:22 am

hokie carla

what's the stat?

10:22 am

hurshy

you know our friend from Aix is ***aixoise

10:23 am

hokie carla

ah, I thought I tried that earlier, but apparently not. thx.

10:23 am

hurshy

and you gave the di6/24 clue, right? so you have that

10:24 am

hokie carla

and I thought she was from nashville.

10:24 am

hurshy

everything else is pretty easy on the D

10:24 am

hokie carla

yes on the di6

10:24 am

hurshy

did you plural the di5 currency?

10:24 am

hokie carla

there's an ar4 on bottom right, the rest are sets

10:25 am

hurshy

woot woot, just got ne7/36

10:25 am

hokie carla

I tried that when I found the di5 but I guess I didn't

10:25 am

hurshy

you don't mean ar4 "dry" do you? cause that comes from upper A

10:25 am

hurshy

oh, no, of course you wouldn't mean that

10:25 am

hokie carla

no, it's ar4/7 which tells you everything

10:26 am

hurshy

ty

10:26 am

hokie carla

ok, so it was just a regular plural and I was going to wrong direction trying to make it fancy. thx

10:27 am

hokie carla

now O GGG N. will work on that NE7

10:27 am

hokie carla

so the other 7 is either G or O

10:27 am

hurshy

if O, is upper O right? i also miss one lower

10:27 am

hokie carla

did you miss the ON6 in the chat just a bit ago?

10:28 am

hurshy

yes

10:28 am

hurshy

i mean i saw people asking but didn't see a clue

10:28 am

hokie carla

it's a weird plural of an ON6 that I only know from here

10:29 am

hokie carla

it has already scrolled off. - ends in farming culture

10:29 am

hurshy

ty

10:29 am

hurshy

my G words, have one 5 and all the rest 4

10:30 am

hurshy

so then there's probably, hopefully, either a 5/6 combo or a 6/7 combo for the other two Gs we need

10:30 am

hokie carla

same here, was just trying 4s

10:31 am

hokie carla

ok, found a G4. now 0-0-2-2 - O GG N

10:31 am

hokie carla

found the N!

10:32 am

hokie carla

yes, I agree

10:32 am

hokie carla

wait, has to be 6/7 if it is a set because I finished 5's

10:33 am

hokie carla

so maybe O6 and G6/7

10:33 am

hokie carla

only other option is O7 and G6x2

10:39 am

hokie carla

found the O!

10:40 am

montreal13

found a GA6/7

10:40 am

hokie carla

GA, ok, that narrows it down, thx

10:41 am

hokie carla

but it feels like I had already tried everything. are these regular words?

10:41 am

montreal13

robot ending

10:41 am

hokie carla

arg, thanks. that's it for me.

10:41 am

montreal13

have GA7 and TR7 - what is the 3rd one please ?

10:42 am

hokie carla

ne7, same ending

10:42 am

cybernan

there is an ne 7 -- good motning all

10:43 am

montreal13

thank you both, will look....

10:43 am

montreal13

10:49 am

montreal13

well sorry but i have to go - bbl

11:01 am

cybernan

missing that di 6/24 mentioned earlier - also missed the clue for it - Please repeat?

11:03 am

cybernan

11:03 am

dauber

pesticide

11:04 am

cybernan

mmm - only one I know is dazanon

11:04 am

dauber

Yeah, I'm stumped too.

11:04 am

KnightTime

rhymes with ne 6

11:05 am

Uneaixoise

Did anyone post a clue for on6?

11:05 am

KnightTime

sorry -

11:05 am

KnightTime

rhymes with a word having to do with nerves

11:05 am

cybernan

mm - don't have an ne 6

11:05 am

dauber

Ah. Thanks, Knight!

11:06 am

hokie carla

on6 clue was posted by IG right after you asked 😜. on + farming prefix.

11:06 am

dauber

fw!

11:06 am

dauber

Thanks, Hokie!

11:07 am

hokie carla

di6 = d + thing that gets wrinkles out but stick another vowel in there to make it 6/21

11:09 am

Uneaixoise

Tx hokie!!

11:09 am

cybernan

stilll getting a not found

11:10 am

cybernan

I thought it was di 6/24?

11:11 am

hurshy

see so i was missing a different O than you, i need an O5

11:11 am

hurshy

it is a 6/24, cnan

11:11 am

cybernan

aha - was using the wrong vowel - ty

11:12 am

cybernan

out for breakfast before the last 20

11:14 am

hurshy

there, done

11:15 am

Uneaixoise

Or6?

11:15 am

hokie carla

sorry nan, can't math today

11:15 am

hokie carla

OR6 looks like the state (at least how I pronounce it), is related to the herb that is a phantom

11:36 am

cybernan

*!*~*!* kicking myself for missing the vo words and the other two associated with them :(

11:37 am

hokie carla

I found those very late as well, nan, and felt the same way. congrats.

11:38 am

12:04 pm

moolingwa

O G U O R D

12:04 pm

hokie carla

did you find the rest at the bee yesterday? looks like I missed pipit, puli, and uptilt, so I wasn't ever finishing.

12:04 pm

hokie carla

glad I gave up eventually

12:04 pm

moolingwa

I missed pipit and uptilt

12:04 pm

moolingwa

disappointed I missed pipit

12:04 pm

hokie carla

I have 29 today, with 6 remaining

12:05 pm

hokie carla

what is a puli?

12:05 pm

moolingwa

only up to 23...late start

12:05 pm

hokie carla

and a pipit? is that a bird?

12:05 pm

moolingwa

no idea, but puli/pula both work in enable

12:05 pm

moolingwa

yes, pipit is a bird

12:06 pm

hokie carla

yes, but goes back to the age old question, if that guy is curating the list to be regular words, then why include puli?

12:07 pm

hokie carla

looks like it is a hungarian sheepdog. mmhmm

12:07 pm

moolingwa

yep

12:07 pm

moolingwa

it's pretty arbitrary to that guy's knowledge

12:10 pm

moolingwa

also has a word today that isn't in enable

12:10 pm

hokie carla

well, I have 30 pts left with 6 words so looks like I might be missing some big ones. out of ideas though. should probably just settle on genius.

12:21 pm

moolingwa

possibly

12:21 pm

moolingwa

sounds vaguely familiar

12:21 pm

hokie carla

well, I mean it was Oh, God! I think

12:23 pm

hokie carla

I don't know what lengths are left but I bet a D6

12:23 pm

moolingwa

oh sure

12:23 pm

hokie carla

O6

12:24 pm

hokie carla

maybe another O6

12:24 pm

hokie carla

maybe G5

12:26 pm

moolingwa

all makes sense

12:28 pm

moolingwa

found the d, and it was a 6

12:50 pm

moolingwa

found the g, and it was a 5

12:51 pm

hokie carla

so, you're saying I'm good at the guessing

12:51 pm

moolingwa

you are

12:52 pm

moolingwa

and so I have an o5 and an o6 remaining...one off each o

12:55 pm

hokie carla

oh, then not perfect

12:55 pm

hokie carla

I thought it was 2 O6

12:59 pm

moolingwa

ah

12:59 pm

moolingwa

nope, have one weird o6

1:01 pm

hokie carla

there are 2 weird o6, with different 2nd letters

1:04 pm

moolingwa

from different o's?

1:05 pm

hokie carla

yes

1:05 pm

hokie carla

hurshy was also missing an O5 at the end. I can guess which one but am surprised you all didn't get it

1:06 pm

hokie carla

it's a babblet that I somehow saw first thing

1:07 pm

moolingwa

oh duh

1:07 pm

moolingwa

tx

1:08 pm

hokie carla

well, I didn't really say a lot

1:08 pm

moolingwa

more than enough :)

1:09 pm

hokie carla

I'll be really surprised if you get the other O but not really if that makes sense

1:09 pm

moolingwa

heh

1:09 pm

moolingwa

well there's not as many words that can be made from that o

1:10 pm

hokie carla

it's related to a word not in the grid that I only know from here

1:12 pm

moolingwa

ovaroe :)

1:15 pm

hokie carla

1:15 pm

moolingwa

well that didn't help, that's what I figured :D

1:15 pm

hokie carla

the word it's related to is ON6 also

1:16 pm

moolingwa

found it

1:16 pm

hokie carla

well done

1:16 pm

moolingwa

didn't know it was related...and though the other word had a different meaning anyway :)

1:16 pm

periwinkle

I don't have on6

1:17 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's an odd one

1:17 pm

hokie carla

it's a plural of the ON6 I only know from here

1:18 pm

hokie carla

peri, ends in farm culture

1:18 pm

periwinkle

farm culture?

1:18 pm

hokie carla

farming is ****culture

1:19 pm

hokie carla

how's that for subtle? 🤣

1:19 pm

moolingwa

the proverbial sledge hammer

1:19 pm

periwinkle

moolingwa

31 words at bee

1:20 pm

moolingwa

124 points

1:20 pm

periwinkle

bbl

1:20 pm

hokie carla

I think I'm giving up at 29 words, 119 points

1:20 pm

moolingwa

yeah...that doesn't bode well

1:21 pm

hokie carla

I feel I've exhausted my vocab there today

1:21 pm

moolingwa

reusing the letters is the tricky part

1:21 pm

moolingwa

took me a long time to find the big word

1:22 pm

moolingwa

he is apparently not into thai cooking

1:22 pm

moolingwa

actually he is...I typoed :)

1:23 pm

moolingwa

32

1:23 pm

hokie carla

ha, yeah, the pangram took me a bit too

1:24 pm

moolingwa

you said there were 35?

1:25 pm

hokie carla

yes

1:25 pm

hokie carla

and 149 pts I think

1:25 pm

moolingwa

oh well, that suggests big words left

1:26 pm

moolingwa

at least 2

1:26 pm

moolingwa

although to be honest, not sure how the points work there :)

1:26 pm

hokie carla

yes

1:26 pm

hokie carla

you get 1 pt for 4s, 5 for 5s, 6 for 6s, etc

1:26 pm

moolingwa

ah

1:27 pm

moolingwa

well could be smaller then

1:27 pm

moolingwa

do you just subtract 3 from the word length?

1:28 pm

hokie carla

no, the word length is the score, except for 4s, which is only 1 pt

1:28 pm

moolingwa

ah

1:28 pm

moolingwa

well I have 3 left...17 points, so that could be manageable

1:28 pm

hokie carla

I need 6 words and 30 pts, so I could need all 5 letter words, or any combo that adds up to that. too many left for me to tell, but yes, yours is doable I think.

1:29 pm

moolingwa

assuming no 4s :)

1:30 pm

hokie carla

well, you could have a 4 and 2 8's, or anything. so yeah, will probably be easier once you get down to 2 left

1:31 pm

moolingwa

33 ...139

1:32 pm

moolingwa

34 - 144

1:33 pm

hokie carla

so you have a 4 + 9, or 2 5's

1:33 pm

hokie carla

too fast. so you have a 5 left.

1:33 pm

moolingwa

now just a 5

1:33 pm

hokie carla

I still haven't found any more

1:40 pm

hokie carla
