8:17 am

hurshy

a grid that has mu5/16 in it can't be all bad

8:21 am

hokie carla

I did get HOET last night but still 47 left. there are some real words we don't get a lot though, so kinda fun.

8:22 am

mael

the -LTY -ILY ending is killing me

8:36 am

hokie carla

mael

I guess it's also "an impure alkali made from the ashes of burned plants" who knew

8:37 am

hokie carla

they have good no-boil lasagna in GF but it's hard to find

8:38 am

MollyL

Really, who thought that would be a good name for pasta? Unless it is someone's last name.

8:38 am

hurshy

it's probably unrelated, like when the Chevy Nova didn't sell well in Spanish-speaking countries because No Va means it won't go

8:39 am

hokie carla

I keep trying lasily because the brits hate z's but of course it's not a word

8:39 am

MollyL

Yep, someone's last name. Pietro Barrilla.

8:39 am

mael

5:39 pm

hokie carla

I have tried several times to find my 4's but nothing

5:39 pm

moolingwa

just found a 4

5:39 pm

moolingwa

easy one

5:42 pm

hokie carla

did you notice noice in the grid?

5:42 pm

hokie carla

any guesses on my last N?

5:42 pm

moolingwa

noice find

5:43 pm

moolingwa

certain problems and more musality than others

5:45 pm

hokie carla

oh, we saw another bear in our neighborhood when we drove back in this evening

5:46 pm

moolingwa

it's an infestation!

5:46 pm

moolingwa

5:46 pm

hokie carla

there are definitely a lot

5:47 pm

moolingwa

5:47 pm

moolingwa

I have prairie dogs, though only have seen one at my actual house

5:47 pm

hokie carla

also we have wild hogs tearing up people's yards but apparently we have some pros that trapped and killed a couple the other night. but they are gonna keep looking!

5:48 pm

moolingwa

found a 5

5:48 pm

hokie carla

still have found none

5:49 pm

moolingwa

barmist (n.)

(1) someone who practices being barmy
(2) fog in a drinking establishment

5:49 pm

hokie carla

a twofer

5:49 pm

moolingwa

thought it was worth the extra time

5:51 pm

hokie carla

so was that a clue for my N or just a random musing earlier?

5:51 pm

moolingwa

random

5:51 pm

hokie carla

hmph

5:51 pm

moolingwa

all the n's are either common words, or commonly found here in babble

5:52 pm

moolingwa

two packs of three, a two pack and two individuals

5:52 pm

hokie carla

what about the U? I have one US and the rest UR

5:53 pm

moolingwa

you need another ur...could be a 4, but possibly the 7

5:53 pm

moolingwa

or maybe you missed a plural

5:53 pm

hokie carla

ok, looks like I'm missing an N from a 3 pack

5:53 pm

hokie carla

btw, I think noirist should be a word

5:54 pm

moolingwa

all those detective novels from what the 1940s?

5:54 pm

hokie carla

or film

5:54 pm

moolingwa

6:51 pm

hokie carla

su7 rhymes with the no you shouldn't know ru7

6:51 pm

penquis

6:51 pm

hokie carla

a clear "cup" that sticks to glass is a su7 cup

6:52 pm

penquis

6:52 pm

Lizlin

Good morning and thanks for those :)

6:53 pm

hokie carla

6:53 pm

penquis

6:54 pm

hokie carla

6:54 pm

hokie carla

well done, pen

6:54 pm

Lizlin

Congrats, pen

6:54 pm

Lizlin

I've also gone to the list - but with 50 left

6:55 pm

Lizlin

I wish I could say that the list was helping lots

6:55 pm

penquis

ty....i went to the list with 42 left....lost patience with this one....

6:55 pm

hokie carla

a lot of words I've never seen before.

6:56 pm

penquis

same here....

6:56 pm

penquis

6:56 pm

hokie carla

6:56 pm

Lizlin

Have a good evening

6:56 pm

hokie carla

good night, pen!

7:05 pm

hokie carla

well 9 left after listing

7:06 pm

Lizlin

Good work - 29 here, so far

7:07 pm

hokie carla

so now I either quit or look up 9 words

7:08 pm

Lizlin

Eventually I look up words - then hope I'll remember them in future grids.

7:08 pm

hokie carla

I usually do too, just hate to do that many :D

7:09 pm

Lizlin

:)

7:09 pm

hokie carla

I don't know if I ever have remembered them in future grids though.

7:10 pm

Lizlin

I guess eventually I do because I remember a lot more "babble" words than I used to - not just babblers.

7:10 pm

Lizlin

babblets

7:11 pm

cherlyq

I dont even care if I finish but would like to have only 80 left as that is 2/3rds of the grid

7:11 pm

cherlyq

I mean getting 160 is two thirds lol

7:11 pm

hokie carla

oh, you can do that cheryl

7:13 pm

hokie carla

well, the first one I looked up is scottish!

7:13 pm

Lizlin

One of the things I like about babble, is that everyone can play in their own way and either complete a grid or not - no judgment.

7:13 pm

hokie carla

because of course it is

7:13 pm

hokie carla

yep

7:13 pm

Lizlin

So many are!

7:14 pm

hokie carla

I'd say 90% of the words I check the def of because I've never seen them before are scottish

7:15 pm

Lizlin

Can I have a hint for al 8 please

7:15 pm

Gillie

Someone who shouts "Fire!" in a theatre

7:15 pm

Lizlin

Also for me 8

7:15 pm

Gillie

(when there is no fire)

7:16 pm

Lizlin

Oh wow! I thought that was there but decided it wasn't. Thanks.

7:16 pm

Lizlin

Should've tried it

7:16 pm

Gillie

yw - don't have the me8

7:16 pm

cybernan

quitting at 202 -- have had enough

7:17 pm

Lizlin

Good score nan - have a good evenign

7:17 pm

hokie carla

7:17 pm

cherlyq

7:18 pm

Lizlin

I'll have to think about that.

7:18 pm

Lizlin

Thanks though.

7:18 pm

hokie carla

hmm, me too

7:18 pm

cherlyq

yeah sorry dont know how to clue it never heard of it more or less fat fingered

7:19 pm

Lizlin

7:19 pm

Lizlin

Good luck with the grid.

7:19 pm

7:22 pm

cherlyq

mine too, I have a migraine

7:23 pm

hokie carla

well done

7:23 pm

Gillie

The me8 is derived from the Greek word for division, apparently (if that helps). I used MoreWords

7:23 pm

cherlyq

ok makes sense segments are a kind of division I guess

7:23 pm

hokie carla

i just looked it up right after I looked up er7. so lizlin if you come back and see this and have an odd er7, add an M to it.

7:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello all

7:24 pm

Gillie

Thanks for the er7, carla!

7:25 pm

hokie carla

haha, yw

7:25 pm

hokie carla

hey TO

7:26 pm

hokie carla

there's another er7 I had to look up gillie. you may have it...the act of using the other end of the pencil

7:27 pm

Gillie

I didn't - ty

7:28 pm

hokie carla

i got excited after that and tried the 80s new wave group, but that needs 2 r's and 2 e's. ;)

7:30 pm

Gillie

Not in my wheelhouse, I'm afraid :)

7:31 pm

hokie carla

erasure

7:31 pm

Gillie

Of course!

7:33 pm

hokie carla

well, my last one - and I looked it up - is a stupid form of a somewhat valid word.

7:33 pm

Gillie

Good going!

7:34 pm

Gillie

I've got 64 left, but I only just came back to it after last night

7:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:35 pm

hokie carla

I ended up leaving 47 for today and it took me a really long time to get to 29 before listing.

7:36 pm

hokie carla

ends in facial spasm

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

ty

7:36 pm

hokie carla

middle part is most of what the sun does in the morning

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not like this grid. lots of questionable words

7:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

and boring 4 letter words

7:38 pm

hokie carla

turned into a slog for sure

7:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am at that point where i cannot seem to see anything.

7:39 pm

hokie carla

I know that point well

7:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

but if i wait too long and get stuck there will be no clues

7:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

okay i need to break now. later gator

8:00 pm

hokie carla

sorry I missed you leaving, my mom called. good luck!

8:22 pm
