44 to go - I think this grid is hiding some weird words from me

5:26 am

Scrabbler

Good morning, IG. 100 hiding from me.

5:27 am

ItalianGreyhound

Hi, Scrabs - Youre at it early

5:27 am

Scrabbler

On work days my alarm is set for 5:45 and I hope to be vertical by 6:15.

5:28 am

Scrabbler

Last night I did fall asleep til after midnight. Grrr.

5:29 am

ItalianGreyhound

sleep is a talent I have not mastered

5:31 am

ItalianGreyhound

the left column has me stumped so far

5:32 am

Scrabbler

I have the upper T and 2 of the lower U but the upper U is annoying me.

5:33 am

ItalianGreyhound

thinking the same - gonna list up

5:37 am

MollyL

The upper U is, of course, an obsolete Scot word

5:37 am

Scrabbler

Haha

5:38 am

ItalianGreyhound

I assume its a UN word...

5:39 am

ItalianGreyhound

Lickety says UN 6/33

5:40 am

ChampFit

Oh, got it!

5:41 am

6:11 am

lbdawger

gm, anyone have a clue for the te7?

6:12 am

lbdawger

nm found it!

6:18 am

ItalianGreyhound

you found that word that quickly?

6:21 am

ItalianGreyhound

took me a while - ditto the TUs

7:19 am

sukee

once again in a grid the first word I see is I see the word that I would never use personally.

7:43 am

emusing

sukee, same with me!

7:44 am

sukee

That one always jumps out at me :)

7:46 am

MollyL

Most people start in the upper right-hand corner and WHOOP there it is.

7:50 am

MollyL

Yeah, hard to believe someone goes from not seeing the te7 to getting it in one minute.

7:52 am

mattygroves

May I have help, please, on the 7 letter R?

8:00 am

doseffing

... sorry ... it was a morewords word for me ... compound word meaning "similar to a carpet"

8:00 am

mattygroves

Aaah - thank you

8:05 am

mael

wouldn't have thought to try that

8:05 am

mael

thank you

8:18 am

mkg

Hi all. I dont see that te 7 at all. So any help welcome

8:25 am

doseffing

... how about ... an expression of your pleasant feelings toward carpets

8:26 am

mkg

Wow doseffing. Dont know what to make of that clue. Thinking. Ty.

8:26 am

romluver

hello

8:26 am

MollyL

That clue is not going to work for te7

8:27 am

doseffing

.but it might for ru7

8:27 am

mkg

I got an ru 7 from that clue. Ty doseffing.

8:28 am

MollyL

It eases up on confusion if you start your clue with the stats for the word.

8:28 am

MollyL

The previous request had been for te7 so it looked like you were cluing that.

8:31 am

gemini_J13

only if you are following the chat ~~~ I looked down and saw the clue and got the ru 7...... sometimes it is simple!!

8:32 am

mkg

Does anyone have a clue for the te 7 or for the 9? Thanks.

8:32 am

MollyL

Well, the person asking is no doubt going to assume that the response to their question is the next response.

8:33 am

phaeton

there is no 9

8:34 am

mkg

Oops. Sorry. The 8 i meant. Apologies.

8:35 am

sukee

Anyone could see that you meant 8 :)

8:35 am

phaeton

May I have stats for the F pls?

8:35 am

mkg

Still dont have the te 7. Hmmmmmm

8:37 am

mkg

Fy 4 13. Weird word i never saw before.

8:37 am

MollyL

What? You don't fish in the Hudson Valley?

8:37 am

phaeton

8:37 am

sukee

8:38 am

mkg

8:38 am

8:39 am

MollyL

A lot of people use cheat sheets

8:41 am

Uneaixoise

I need the te7 too.....

8:42 am

phaeton

8:44 am

Uneaixoise

T + ur7

8:45 am

hokie carla

8:47 am

sukee

2nd day I have missed Wordle, I think I need a break :)

8:47 am

montreal13

UR7 is the noun

8:47 am

Kaplan the Magne

ur7. Is this a matter of some ur7, or can it wait a bit?

8:47 am

hokie carla

Uneaixoise

Indeed!!

8:55 am

hokie carla

well, I don't have the upper U or the R and need a lot of K's for HOET, but I did gray the M on first try, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

8:55 am

hurshy

un6/33

8:57 am

MollyL

Wordle was not easy today

8:57 am

MollyL

*Waits for someone to say they got it in two

8:57 am

hokie carla

yeah, I got nothing

8:57 am

hokie carla

no, took me 4, and the 4th guess took too long

8:58 am

MollyL

You get timed out in Wordle?

8:59 am

hokie carla

no, just took a long time for me

8:59 am

hurshy

i got it but only just, on the last guess

8:59 am

hurshy

un + scottish for known

9:00 am

MollyL

Is the Spelling Bee hard today? (Unless you are Ru and can magically see all the words in 2 minutes)

9:00 am

hurshy

i haven't done it yet

9:00 am

hokie carla

haven't looked

9:00 am

montreal13

ty hurshy for UN6

9:00 am

hokie carla

thx, hurshy

9:01 am

hokie carla

though I think the scottish for known doesn't have the last letter.

9:01 am

hokie carla

it's barbie's boyfriend

9:02 am

hurshy

that would be "know"

9:02 am

hurshy

if you want "known" you add the last letter

9:02 am

hokie carla

whatever 😜, does anyone have the R?

9:03 am

hokie carla

not a lot of options there so it must be weird

9:03 am

phaeton

ru7/56

9:03 am

hurshy

yikes

9:04 am

hokie carla

hmm, as I suspected

9:04 am

MollyL

(Hurshy watches a lot of Outlander)

9:04 am

hurshy

never seen outlander

9:04 am

hokie carla

have you read outlander?

9:04 am

hurshy

no

9:05 am

hurshy

i get my scottish from other books, like The Five Red Herrings, and George MacDonald's fiction

9:05 am

MollyL

Are the books better than the show?

9:05 am

hokie carla

of course

9:05 am

hokie carla

only book that isn't better than the show/movie is gone with the wind

9:06 am

hokie carla

ok, looked up the R word, now I'm mad

9:06 am

hokie carla

but HOET!

9:06 am

hurshy

mad? hmm

9:06 am

hokie carla

compound, kinda stupid

9:06 am

hurshy

ty!

9:07 am

hokie carla

of course I didn't have the 2nd word in there

9:08 am

hokie carla

and there's a stupid L6

9:08 am

hokie carla

oh well, 40 left for later. TTFN.

9:19 am

hurshy

bee: got to genius without a lot of words, without pangram... there must just not be very many today

9:19 am

hurshy

scratch that

9:19 am

hurshy

i am silly

9:37 am

MollyL

The pangram was very good. I'll have another.

9:48 am

rururocks

i can't find the panagram on this new free bee

9:53 am

hurshy

the one at spellingbeegame.org?

9:55 am

hurshy

maybe rearrange the letters, if so, cause i saw that one like instantly

10:01 am

MollyL

Ha ha, wait until he finds it. Ru are you using https://wordle2.io/spelling-bee?

10:02 am

MollyL

spellingbeegame.org is not the same as The New York Times one.

10:04 am

rururocks

i was doing free bee. I got the panagram on your in 10 seconds

10:05 am

rururocks

yours

10:06 am

MollyL

So that is three different Spelling Bee games. That could get confusing if people chat about the game.

10:06 am

rururocks

there are probably more than three I'd guess

10:06 am

rururocks

I don't know which ones you guys are always talking about. I can't do the NY Times one because i don't have a subscription

10:06 am

MollyL

I thought you didn't play because it was (rolls eyes) too easy

10:07 am

MollyL

Again, https://wordle2.io/spelling-bee (link in Hurshy's profile) is the New York Times one.

10:07 am

rururocks

i do it on occasion when I'm bored

10:08 am

rururocks

not every day though.. a couple times a week.

10:08 am

MollyL

Oh pardon the eff out of us Mr. Genius 🙄

10:08 am

rururocks

:D

10:09 am

rururocks

I don't know why.. but it's just easy for me

10:09 am

rururocks

must be the way my mind works... yet another mystery..

10:09 am

hurshy

oh ok i didn't know about this "free bee" one, will have to google

10:10 am

MollyL

I don't like the color or the set up on Free Bee. I am weird about board appearances.

10:12 am

hurshy

i appreciate that the one that matches the NYT we have the forum thing to use, to see how many we're missing and stuff

10:13 am

rururocks

nice grid today.. gotta get to work.. have fun everyone

10:16 am

hurshy

occurence

10:16 am

hurshy

10:17 am

hurshy

10:17 am

MollyL

Are you playing two different Spelling Bees?

10:19 am

hurshy

10:19 am

hurshy

10:20 am

10:27 am

moolingwa

hey mael

10:29 am

moolingwa

looks like an uglyish one

10:30 am

moolingwa

although, finding the 8 and three 7s in my first 35 or so is encouraging

10:31 am

mael

I still haven't found the 8, alas, but I haven't yet looked for stats

10:34 am

hurshy

yeah i do not think i will add free bee to my routine...

10:35 am

mael

regular bee is good enough for me :)

10:36 am

moolingwa

well first pass done

10:40 am

mael

I only have 6s, 7s, and 8 left, that'll be a slog

10:40 am

moolingwa

10:40 am

hurshy

have you got the ur6 (adj) and ur7 (n) ?

10:41 am

mael

I have all the Us

10:41 am

hurshy

cause the 8 just sticks a T on the beginning of those

10:41 am

mael

oh there you go, thanks

10:41 am

hurshy

idk why my monkeys decided to try that, just lucky

10:41 am

mael

10:41 am

moolingwa

yeah, me too

10:41 am

moolingwa

I shall give them more mango

10:41 am

mael

good plan

10:41 am

hurshy

i guess because i couldn't find anything else from that T so i was desperately trying anything

10:42 am

mael

I was trying all variations I could think of on t***id, but none stuck

10:42 am

moolingwa

yeah, I was a "figure I'll give it a go" mood too

10:42 am

hurshy

top row grey!

10:52 am

moolingwa

10:53 am

mael

10:59 am

moolingwa

11:07 am

mael

I find Ks the hardest in every damn grid

11:09 am

moolingwa

yep

11:19 am

penquis

hello all...

11:22 am

MollyL

Pen is here, thank God.

11:24 am

hi molly.... + + +

11:26 am

MollyL

Dominus vobiscum

11:28 am

penquis

et cum spirituo tuo....is that right??....long time since attending masses in Latin...

11:30 am

aebmusica

yes

11:31 am

penquis

ty, aeb....made my day.. ;o)

11:31 am

aebmusica

:)

11:31 am

penquis

only had one year of Latin in high school....

11:32 am

aebmusica

I didn't have any....but I sang many latin masses and church music.

11:33 am

penquis

i went to Catholic school...

11:33 am

aebmusica

I taught at them

11:33 am

penquis

cool...

11:34 am

aebmusica

my almost daily response to the Mother Superior was "Mea culpa".

11:35 am

penquis

hah...

12:00 pm

MollyL

The only teachers we had in Catholic School were nuns. *Shivers*

12:02 pm

penquis

i had a man for 8th grade math....other than that, it was nuns....ours were Sisters of St. Joseph....they weren't that bad....though little Sr. St. Andre could lift two boys off the ground by grabbing their collars...

12:07 pm

MollyL

I'm convinced nuns had serious gyms in the convents and lifted weights.

12:08 pm

penquis

she must have....

12:08 pm

MollyL

And God only knows what they kept up their sleeves, along with the hankies.

12:09 pm

penquis

and they had big sleeves!

12:09 pm

penquis

they also kept "clappers" there....

12:09 pm

MollyL

I had a nun in 8th grade who called everyone by their given name. If you were Susie, she called you Susan, Tommy, Thomas, etc.

12:10 pm

penquis

not surprised...

12:14 pm

penquis

did your nuns use clappers?

12:16 pm

MollyL

No, rulers and yardsticks

12:17 pm

penquis

clappers were handheld, hinged wooden slabs that were hollowed out a little on the inside....the nuns use to clap them together to make a loud enough noise to call kids in from recess....

12:17 pm

penquis

none of our nuns used ruler or yardsticks for discipline...

12:24 pm

MollyL

I was taught by Franciscan nuns in my later years. Don't know what brand they were in my early years. Just that some of them had male names (Sister James Bernard)

12:25 pm

MollyL

Oops, light bulb moment. Sisters of The Holy Names in the early years.

12:25 pm

penquis

yes, some of our nuns had male names, too....it was quite common...

12:26 pm

penquis

my aunt was Sr. Jeanne Francoise....

12:37 pm

MollyL

I will never forget how hard my sister and I laughed at The Penguin stuff in The Blues Brothers.

12:37 pm

penquis

did you ever see the play "Nunsense"?....i laughed so hard that my cheeks hurt....

12:38 pm

MollyL

No, I never saw that.

12:38 pm

penquis

well if you ever get the chance, see it...hysterical...

12:48 pm

penquis

stuck at 12....taking a break....

12:49 pm

penquis

bye all...
