S7/36
1:42 am
sprite

2 x S7/36 that is
1:55 am
sprite

P7/40 - 8/55 combo
1:56 am
sprite

and a P7/36 - 8/50 combo as well
2:22 am
sprite

O7/52
2:41 am
sprite

And a very nice A7/36.
Am I really the only one playing?
2:45 am
sprite

Some monologue :)
The A7/36 leads to an R8/50.
2:55 am
Sté

hello sprite!
i just verified my own stats and yours are OK (even with the Q)
2:56 am
sprite

Great, Ste, that means the statmaker works! :D
3:01 am
sprite

S7/40: a hard green cheese made from skim-milk curd, colored and flavored with sweet clover. Appeared in a grid before, I believe.
3:33 am
Xanika

Where do you get the stats from?
7:42 am
Gail

Cheese and irish whiskey. Sounds like a party
8:06 am
Gail

s8/40 a stricture
8:57 am
sprite

Xanika: the stats are made by copying the results of an online boggle solver into a textfile, changing the spaces into semicolons and then running the file through a statmaker. By keeping something over the words and by using the same fontcolor as background color, I made sure I did not see the actual words.
Another way is copying the results of the solver, changing the font into Wingdings and then count by hand.
9:04 am
testing

in looking for the O/7/52 I found an O/7/44 freshwater trout.
9:13 am
sprite

testing: look for the plural of impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent.
9:15 am
sprite

203 words / 4.80 / 2545 points
9:21 am
testing

Thanks - I found it right after the other O7. :)
9:32 am
Krys10

sprite, would you give defeinitions clues for the 8's?
9:37 am
Krys10

whoops, the S8 has already been hinted - sleepy Californian becoming aware of her surroundings :)
9:39 am
Krys10

I can do one too: P8/55: (pl) an ideal or a model of perfection
10:54 am
Gail

any other clues for the freshwater trout?
11:14 am
taylor

help!
11:15 am
Treble99

Would the starting letter help
11:16 am
taylor

yes
11:19 am
Treble99

O
11:20 am
taylor

thanks
11:24 am
sarcasticah

Any other clues? I think we already had the starting letter...
11:24 am
Gail

How about the second letter??
11:26 am
taylor

any one need help?
11:28 am
Treble99

Q
11:30 am
taylor

next letter
11:33 am
Gail

got it, thanks!
11:35 am
taylor

any one have clues?
11:40 am
Gail

For the o8 -a freshwater trout found in Western Maine, also the name of a lake in Maine.
11:41 am
taylor

thank you
11:47 am
taylor

any other clues
12:09 pm
testing

taylor - Sometimes you have to accept that you may not find a word. Too many clues spoils the fun of the search. ;) And maybe you'd feel better using resources on the web to help in your search. Certainly with the clues you've been given you could find the word that way, no?
12:13 pm
Gail

If you do a google search for scrabble word lists, you will find lots of resources. I use them quite a bit. But I love clues for the big words, too.
12:14 pm
Krys10

There's always the old-fashioned way - reading the dictionary! (Or am I the only dork who does that?)
12:23 pm
Gail

I read a book about a man who read the entire set of encyclopedias. I would like to do that, too. I might know some of these words, then...
12:35 pm
Krys10

Does anyone know - are there two 7/36/P?
12:55 pm
testing

Yep, there are. And a 7/40/P. Two of the 7/P words go with 8s (the 40 and one of the 36s).
12:57 pm
Krys10

Oh good - I have one 7/36 and no idea how it could combo into an 8!
1:02 pm
sprite

Sorry, I was gone and did not see the question earlier.
R8: the state of being deeply engrossed or absorbed
P8: plural that keeps the sun away
1:05 pm
sprite

Krys10: no, you are not the only one! :D I love dictionaries, encyclopedias and such. Got quite a few links to pages like that in my favorites.
2:26 pm
Gail

The r8 definition doesn't seem to connect to anything for me, it does go with the r4.
2:33 pm
sprite

It can take a suffix as well. Perhaps you have the A7/36: a disposition to behave in a certain way; appropriateness. You can build on that one as well for the R8.
2:40 pm
sarcasticah

Ooh, those were good clues!
2:41 pm
Gail

yes, they were. Thanks. I was looking right at it, but my brain was not computing.
2:43 pm
Krys10

I'm going bonkers trying to find my last two words - pretty sure one is a P6... so far I have PA6 and PO6x2 - anyone know what I'm missing?
2:46 pm
sprite

Yep, a Pt6. Drove me crazy as well, until I browsed the IRL dictionary. ;-)
Abnormal lowering or drooping of an organ or a part, especially a drooping of the upper eyelid caused by muscle weakness or paralysis.
2:48 pm
Krys10

ah, thought i covered all the Pt's! Thank you!
2:55 pm
boatierra

To Anyone Interested: I just saw the next to last post from yesterday's puzzle...'beefmint,'

THAT'S hysterical :) :) :)

I couldn't believe Babble wouldn't take it! :P
10:45 pm
boatierra

Ah, won't take 'pogo'
