4:52 am

welki

it’s nearly 3 am

4:52 am

Scrabbler

I woke up at 4 EST to pee and that was it for me. I was awake for the day.

4:55 am

Scrabbler

So why are you awake?

4:55 am

welki

having a low, waiting for numbers to go up

4:56 am

Scrabbler

I don't understand.

4:56 am

welki

i’m hypoglycemic

4:57 am

Scrabbler

Ah. Do you have an alarm on a Dexcom?

4:57 am

welki

dexcom

4:57 am

Scrabbler

I learn from my kids with T1DM.

4:57 am

welki

i’m hypo unaware and often sleep through the alarms. this one, for some reason, woke me up. my better half usually has to get me up

4:59 am

Scrabbler

My rabbit sitter's husband is like that. The Dexcom is connected to her phone too.

5:01 am

welki

the monitor is expensive, i use the phone, too. this episode was pretty bad, will have to adjust basal

5:01 am

7:15 am

LuvWordGames

WTG!

7:24 am

MollyL

Well, the canned meat is now officially an accepted word.

7:26 am

hurshy

huzzah, huzzah

7:29 am

MollyL

Who knew that a block of congealed pork product was so important to someone that they wore down Dr. God to include it. 😊

7:29 am

hokie carla

weird. I didn't think I'd ever see the day.

7:30 am

saanichcat

it must be the only word pretty well forced on him

7:31 am

MollyL

No, for some reason, people got all up in arms about stent when it wasn't included and he broke the rules for that one too.

7:32 am

hokie carla

yeah, now he opens himself up for people pestering him about the slurs

7:33 am

MollyL

Oh God, how would you like to open your email every day and find THE DISCUSSION

7:35 am

hokie carla

now if it would only work on sam at the bee to add adit

7:36 am

MollyL

I have no idea what The Spelling Bee criteria is. There are a lot of words not accepted there that should be.

7:43 am

mael

it's curated

7:43 am

jwr

an obsolete Portuguese unit of measurement of volume ... now there's a babblet for ya~

7:44 am

mael

by an editor, who decides which words are most likely to be recognized (I disagree with that editor quite a bit)

7:45 am

hokie carla

I think he grew up in or spent a lot of time in NYC and his word list is biased that way.

7:45 am

hokie carla

but the exclusion of adit is baffling since it's in so many crosswords

7:45 am

mael

I think he is in NYC, yes

7:46 am

mael

I do appreciate the inclusion of words that ought to be in enable too, by now :)

7:46 am

jwr

I keep reminding myself that we are dealing with the globe here -- who knows what syllables lurk in its dark corners.

7:46 am

mael

but I will never forgive the day Spelling Bee didn't accept UNDAUNTED. I wrote him an email about that one lol

7:47 am

jwr

did you get an answer

7:47 am

hokie carla

he says he has criteria but it's very random

7:48 am

mael

no! especially since they accepted DAUNTED, which is, IMHO, the lesser used one

7:48 am

hokie carla

everyone wrote in that day. I did too. have written a few times. they do a canned response, jwr.

7:48 am

jwr

there's something "off" about "random criteria

7:48 am

MollyL

Enable seems like random criteria. Some foreign words accepted, some not.

7:49 am

jwr

fecklessness

7:50 am

mael

the editor has honestly said that it's based on what he feels is a common word or not, so it's not so much random as it is subjective

7:50 am

rururocks

I anoa how you feel about enable

7:50 am

mael

and his experience, like hokie says, is very much colored by present day NYC

7:51 am

jwr

oh great! a subjective dictionary

7:51 am

mael

enable is fossilized in 1960, pretty much

7:51 am

jwr

bad ru

7:51 am

mael

if all the words that are accepted in enable ended up in the bee no one but the super duper extra nerds like us would ever finish :)

7:52 am

mael

and even then!

7:52 am

hokie carla

true

7:52 am

mael

at least the anoa is an animal and not a "no definition"

7:52 am

hokie carla

I think I needed 4 the other day and I looked and they were all something ridiculous and I thought, how do those possibly fit his "rules"?

7:53 am

mael

he purposefully leaves some "hard" words in there

7:53 am

mael

I

7:53 am

mael

I'll see if I can find that interview they did of his process

7:54 am

hokie carla

one of the rules is no technical or occupation specific jargon, and yet...

7:54 am

mael

but I have a whole facebook group with my friends dedicated to complaining about words that are totally words and yet not accepted in the Bee lol

7:54 am

rururocks

enable now takes spam

7:54 am

mael

I tried and had a moment, ru

7:54 am

hokie carla

I think I've read that, or at least similar, mael. it was on the link for "today's hints".

7:54 am

mael

I thought I'd missed it!

7:54 am

rururocks

it hasn't all the years I've played but today it does

7:55 am

sukee

ty, I probably wouldn't have tried it again

7:55 am

hokie carla

well, this started out easy with the first 3 columns

7:55 am

rururocks

it's an easy grid hoke

7:55 am

mael

this is my reward for persevering and alwyas always always trying spam

7:56 am

rururocks

10 minutes max

7:56 am

hokie carla

how are there 13 a's here

7:56 am

mael

the only thing giving me trouble is the bottom A

7:57 am

jwr

well, spammit! Now we have to go back and alter all our numbers

7:57 am

jwr

that's ok,mael. we're all adults here. You can spell it out.

7:57 am

mael

hah

7:59 am

Shirlockc

i was just going to ask, did they update something? i thought previous spam did NOT work

8:00 am

mael

it did not

8:00 am

MollyL

Ru, if the grid isn't difficult, Carla will have nothing to talk about. And she and her sidekick won't have things to discuss for hours later on. 😊

8:00 am

mael

maybe now ramen will work too!

8:00 am

hokie carla

I'm laughing at how many tried spam. I never would have.

8:01 am

mael

alas, ramen is still not in the dictionary

8:01 am

sukee

amuse

8:01 am

sukee

eek, sorry

8:01 am

MollyL

There are people who say they try words they know are not accepted all the time. Like awaiting some kind of miracle.

8:01 am

hokie carla

I do that, but spam is different, so i never try it

8:02 am

hokie carla

I try afro a lot. tech, ramen.

8:03 am

mael

oh I say I try them and I actually do try them, every time. My brain sees a word and I type it. Afro and ramen and tech are absolutely ones I try, and udon, and many foods

8:04 am

mael

watch, Dr. God will realize this aberration and never have spam work again! so we can all go back to our Sisyphean disappointment

8:04 am

hokie carla

now 1 S and 4 bottom A left

8:05 am

Shirlockc

i'm glad it finally made it and fingers crossed for ramen, udon, tech, etc

8:05 am

mael

I just typed them all in shirlock and no luck

8:05 am

mael

just spam

8:06 am

hokie carla

FTR, my last S is not spam

8:06 am

mael

I only have 4 left, all A

8:06 am

hokie carla

same 4 A I need

8:07 am

mael

oh nm, FW! got them, I hadn't thought of that

8:07 am

MollyL

Sisyphean? Do you use words like that often? Are you a friend of DCSeain?

8:07 am

mael

they're all related

8:07 am

hokie carla

found the A's! now just need the one S

8:07 am

mael

I use Sisyphean all the time

8:07 am

jwr

ramen just means noodles....

8:07 am

hokie carla

and yes, those a's are not words I know

8:07 am

mael

so does pasta, but that's accepted :)

8:09 am

hokie carla

prob would help if I noticed it's an S4 I need

8:09 am

mael

the As are some of those aforementioned "no definition" words, lol

8:09 am

hokie carla

but it is not spam!

8:09 am

Shirlockc

penne, ravioli accepted, there is a bias towards certain foods

8:09 am

jwr

but pasta (in English) refers to the meal itself

8:09 am

mael

yeah, foods that were already relatively common in the 70s haha

8:10 am

mael

ziti is accepted too, for example, and spaghetti

8:10 am

jwr

Shirlock - nothing but spam is spam

8:10 am

hokie carla

finished all by myself except for spam

8:10 am

rururocks

tartines are not accepted

8:10 am

Shirlockc

ramen and udon were more common to me in the 70s than ravioli etc

8:10 am

mael

it's honestly that enable is a very dated dictionary

8:10 am

rururocks

that's using your noodle shirl

8:10 am

mael

ru, that's another word I try every time

8:11 am

mael

that's why it accepts obsolete words for regional hats or whatever but not tech

8:12 am

hokie carla

techie - yes, tech - no

8:12 am

periwinkle

another gray and rainy day. going to get my car inspected this morning

8:13 am

periwinkle

7nleft

8:13 am

jwr

what's a regional hat?

8:13 am

hokie carla

8:13 am

periwinkle

8:14 am

Shirlockc

8:14 am

jwr

57, cloudy

8:15 am

hokie carla

yesterday's bee, mael - corrida. really? everyone's supposed to know that?

8:15 am

rururocks

dark here

8:15 am

jwr

what" You didn't grow up watching bullfights, carla

8:16 am

hokie carla

nope

8:16 am

hokie carla

I did take geometry in 9th grade but also missed toroid

8:16 am

jwr

THAT'S JUST BULL

8:17 am

periwinkle

6 left and 3 of them are M words. all 4 and 5 letters and stuck

8:17 am

jwr

whoops - didn't mean to hit the Big Letter thingy

8:17 am

Shirlockc

stop with the caps jwr, you're cowing everyone

8:17 am

jwr

the moooo,the butter

8:17 am

rururocks

nothing gets pasture shirloc

8:18 am

hokie carla

you all just gonna milk another pun thread

8:18 am

Shirlockc

you just milking it for all it's worth

8:18 am

rururocks

it's better than a bum steer

8:18 am

jwr

ru's mind churns all the time

8:18 am

MollyL

It is better to heifer noticing things

8:19 am

Shirlockc

the stirk reality of a this game

8:19 am

jwr

the bum steers ride in cattle cars

8:19 am

rururocks

that's having a lactasical attitude shirl

8:19 am

swmbo

lt

8:20 am

mael

I know corrida, but I'm from Europe :)

8:20 am

Shirlockc

ru is ud5-ly relentless in the pun quest

8:20 am

MollyL

Waitng for someone to use sisyphean

8:21 am

jwr

Oh, then you must know her Norwegian cousin Ole

8:21 am

hokie carla

exactly, mael - just wondering how corrida fits in his rules

8:21 am

jwr

someone did, earlier, Molly.

8:22 am

mael

you really don't use sisyphean, molly?

8:22 am

rururocks

I don't.. but I'm not as smart as you mael

8:22 am

mael

jwr, she's salty because I used it earlier, yeah :)

8:23 am

jwr

As I walked down the corrida, I ran into my sister Phea

8:23 am

hokie carla

I do not, but it would be a sisyphean task for me to do so

8:23 am

mael

I don't think it's got anything to do with smarts, but again, maybe it's because I didn't grow up in the states and have a more classical mindset? we were taught it in school

8:23 am

rururocks

sisyphean sounds like a urinary tract disorder

8:24 am

MollyL

I try not to use words that will make people look at me funny and back away slowly

8:24 am

Shirlockc

tantalus is part of that greek myth too, and that's a more common word

8:24 am

MollyL

And I'm not "salty".

8:25 am

jwr

Or walk up and slap your face!

8:25 am

mael

do they make you look at me funny and back away slowly? because that hasn't been my experience in life and if that's been yours I'm truly sorry :)

8:25 am

mael

that's why we have tantalizing

8:26 am

jwr

More peppery, I think. Makes people walk up to me and sneeze

8:26 am

jwr

and prognosticating

8:26 am

MollyL

Try some garlic powder. It keeps people away

8:26 am

bichon

al 7/40, pls

8:27 am

jwr

so does walking around with a vampire

8:27 am

rururocks

I miss Zoozoom

8:27 am

mael

part of an al5/6/7/6 combo

8:27 am

jwr

whatever happened to . . .

8:27 am

hokie carla

bichon - al5 = al + wet dirt, then all the rest of those are related

8:27 am

mael

sounds like the Jewish religious text

8:28 am

MollyL

Hopefully Zoom will return after a while. He did last time.

8:28 am

rururocks

i hope so.. such a nice guy

8:28 am

bichon

ty mael

8:28 am

jwr

and a teacher from Canada

8:29 am

MollyL

Zoom is a teacher from Canada?

8:29 am

jwr

I'm terrible with names. No, someone else, really nice guy

8:29 am

rururocks

I wonder what happened to MLF too.. it's kind of odd when players just vanish. unless there's a serial killer slowly stalking all of us and polishing us off one at a time

8:30 am

jwr

What happened to Sprite

8:30 am

MollyL

The Word Nerd Assassin

8:30 am

hokie carla

well that's cheery

8:31 am

MollyL

Sprite is still around in the off hours for most Americans

8:31 am

jwr

hmmmph

8:31 am

rururocks

sprite has been around recently usually late at night

8:31 am

bichon

I know that MLF was confined to a wheelchair

8:31 am

hokie carla

not sure why they'd go after some of those before the rest of us, though, ruru. 🤣

8:31 am

rururocks

Yeah we could send him a list hokie :D

8:31 am

MollyL

I think MLF lost her wifi

8:32 am

jwr

thanks for the info, ru.

8:33 am

jwr

I'm old, too tough and stringy

8:33 am

rururocks

kind of like Santa's list.. who's been naughty and who's been nice

8:33 am

Meatball421

is there DEF for the al7?

8:33 am

rururocks

jeffrey Daumer is gone now jwr

8:33 am

MollyL

If he was knocking off the naughty ones, I would have been first on the list

8:34 am

jwr

yes, it's that Portugese thingy I put in the chat earlier

8:34 am

Meatball421

nm, I found it

8:34 am

mael

nope meatball, no definition

8:34 am

Meatball421

never saw that word in my whole life

8:34 am

MollyL

Remember, Google is your friend

8:35 am

Meatball421

my best friend

8:35 am

jwr

Daumer: Santa's little helper, eh?

8:35 am

rururocks

google isn't my friend

8:36 am

mael

google is a scary stranger, in fact

8:36 am

MollyL

It is when it comes to looking up definitions

8:36 am

mael

alright peeps, have a great day!

8:36 am

rururocks

it isn't when they read your emails

8:36 am

rururocks

bye mael see you later

8:36 am

jwr

OK, he's not warm and fuzzy, but he can square dance and play checkers

8:37 am

MollyL

Okay pedants, remember, a search engine is your friend

8:37 am

jwr

ta, Molly

8:38 am

MollyL

It makes me laugh that people think there is still such a thing as internet privacy

8:38 am

jwr

what do you mean "still"

8:39 am

jwr

I don't do any (anti)social media.Never started, thank goodness..

8:40 am

rururocks

I'm off of social media as well.

8:41 am

HarryHood

MollyL

I never understood the appeal.

8:41 am

jwr

In fact,this Chatterbox is the only conversation I've ever gotten into online, barring debates on a couple of political blogs I've followed for at least ten years.

8:53 am

rururocks

No idea

Good to know - I meant to say "any" not "many"

What I gathered from the chat is one person made a big stink about it to Dr. God and he added it. For a while after that, when spam was in the grid and you added it, it said "spam is not in the puzzle". Now it is a totally accepted word. No idea why.

9:33 am

Havent seen a grid with it, wonder if plurals or use as verbs are allowed. s----ed etc

Sad news about Loretta Lynn. She was a classic.

hokie carla

just waiting for someone to ask who it is 🤣

10:26 am

heavens - she must have been in her 90's (assuming she just died?)

10:27 am

hokie carla

Wow, I never knew Crystal Gayle was her sister.
