2:58 am

sprite

it is! Not flowing at all. But fun. I am okay, how about you?

2:59 am

mattygroves

I have one of the long MYs, thanks to a word list (I weirdly consider that less cheating, somehow, than morewords) but cannot imagine what the others are

6:17 am

Meatball421

phantom myopic

7:23 am

hurshy

why do i feel like the corner E has got to be weird

7:25 am

hurshy

exonym should be a word. like, "Germany" is an exonym because it's not what the natives call it

7:25 am

hurshy

i note that the spell check did not underline it when i typed it, too

7:30 am

mael

it is a word Hursh, but Enable hasn't caught on :)

7:30 am

hurshy

wow, tip of the hat to broll for keeping track of words seen in babble in a database... that's hard coreo

7:30 am

hurshy

*core

7:31 am

mael

coreo, the middle of an oreo

7:31 am

hurshy

:)

7:33 am

sukee

Not seeing much in this grid, stuck at 47 left

7:34 am

hurshy

there does seem to be a consensus that it's a tough grid

7:52 am

hurshy

so... anyone know what that corner E actually is?

7:52 am

BzznBea

ex4

7:53 am

mael

7:56 am

BzznBea

7:58 am

hokie carla

this is a struggle for HOET today, even though it's in the grid

8:02 am

8:06 am

hokie carla

8:18 am

mkg

8:55 am

rururocks

8:57 am

mael

8:58 am

mael

8:59 am

rururocks
