Scrabbler

Hi aslindy. I was here for a bit then played some words in games.
6:00 am
aslindy

no idea what that dh6 is
6:01 am
aslindy

totally just guessed it
6:01 am
ChampFit

Clue please!
6:03 am
aslindy

what made me think of it was a TV show called Dh6 and Greg, but this one is spelled with an N instead of M
6:03 am
aslindy

which is probably the dumbest clue ever
6:03 am
Scrabbler

TY for that word.
6:03 am
ChampFit

I remember that. Thank you...I was all around it and super annoyed! ;)
6:04 am
aslindy

thank goodness it helped! I had no idea how to clue it!
6:05 am
aslindy

also, I was really annoyed when that show ended on a cliffhanger and then was just done
6:07 am
Scrabbler

I never watched the show regularly.
6:22 am
HarryHood

thaing - like that stevie ray vaughan song "pride and joy"
6:23 am

Time to get ready for work. Enjoy the day.

7:37 am
aebmusica

I have tried...doesn't seem to work?????
7:39 am
aebmusica

ty anrike....but I still can't find it.
7:40 am
aebmusica

sorry autocorrect changed your name,anike.
7:44 am
aebmusica

still need help with the ar7/28, please.
7:44 am
saanichcat

look up lipstick tree, then change second letter
7:45 am
saanichcat

or do what anike said
7:56 am
mael

hello everyone
7:56 am
mael

what a monster grid
8:02 am
BzznBea

my thoughts exactly, mael
8:04 am
mael

hey bea :)
8:04 am
BzznBea

wow! pulled that d from the memory bank
8:05 am
MollyL

I'm lost or I have the wrong word for lipstick tree
8:05 am
mael

I've always thought of it as a flavoring
8:06 am
penquis

one has to INSERT an R as the second letter when using the lipstick tree as a base.....
8:06 am
mael

the an6 that is, the ar7 is a variant spelling
8:06 am
mael

they're the same thing, funnily enough :)
8:08 am
MollyL

Again, I must have the wrong word for lipstick tree. There are no R and C that connect in this grid.
8:08 am
mael

stats on the d, please bea? I'm sure I know it but I've tried all the usual suspects I remember haha
8:09 am
mael

think of the south american spice
8:09 am
BzznBea

dh6.24
8:09 am
penquis

guess you have the wrong tree, molly....
8:09 am
mael

I wouldn't have known it as a tree either. Shrub maybe, but it's famous for dye and flavor
8:10 am
MollyL

Yeah, I had the wrong word. The word I was looking at was achiote.
8:10 am
mael

thanks bea!
8:10 am
mael

hah, it IS achiote
8:10 am
MollyL

I got the word though, thanks mael.
8:10 am
mael

ar7, an6, and an7 which is not in the grid today are all achiote
8:10 am
bichon

I have tried everything to get that word. Alas
8:10 am
mael

thanks English for all the synonyms!
8:12 am
mael

got it bea, thanks
8:12 am
penquis

do you have the an 6/18?....that lipstick tree s the base....we have had that word before....add an R as the second letter....that gives you the ar 7....
8:12 am
penquis

sorry....should have said BICHON.....etc....
8:12 am
bichon

no, I don't
8:12 am
penquis

if you google it, you will find it....
8:13 am
penquis

the an 5 is shown in the pics for the search....
8:13 am
BzznBea

what A is it from?
8:13 am
mael

a red flavoring popular in south American food, bichon
8:13 am
mael

top A
8:14 am
penquis

that works if she knows anything about south american food....i don't, lol....
8:14 am
BzznBea

ty
8:14 am
mael

hah, I don't think I've ever heard it called a lipstick tree myself, so the opposite approach might work!
8:18 am
mael

finally finished the As, phew
8:30 am
MollyL

What a great plant. You can make lipstick, body paint, use as a spice and use for medicinal purposes.
8:31 am
mael

vegetal multitasking :)
8:32 am
MollyL

It will cure some of your ailments, spice up your food and make you look good all at the same time.
8:34 am
mael

hah. I'm mad at myself that it took me this long to find the 9 and the 10 :)
8:40 am
BzznBea

i would think so, meal
8:41 am
mael

in my defense it's the twistiest grid I've seen in a while! I didn't even see the word, I tried it just in case
8:48 am
Shirlockc

my longest word so far is a 7 lol
8:49 am
mael

takes a while to get going today :)
8:50 am
BzznBea

its a doozy shirl.
8:51 am
Shirlockc

If you do a Google search on this and don't find the answer, I don't think anyone here can help you. the practice of exacting justice or compliance with a just demand by sitting and fasting at the doorstep of an offender until death or until the demand is granted.

Earlier, someone said that they tried na6 in morewords with asterisks and there were no na6. There are, but asterisks is not the good thing to use in morewords. If you use dashes ---- it will give you just the word value you are looking for. Asterisks gives you all possible words between na and na6

TOUR OF GREECE
Starting in the beautiful island of Santorini, in 12 days this comprehensive tour of Greece begins by visiting the must-see island of Santorini. We’ll have a few days to explore the breathtaking scenery of whitewashed buildings with vibrant blue roofs and beautiful beaches. Next, after flying back to the mainland, we’ll travel by bus to Olympia where we’ll visit the site of the original Olympic games. From there, we’ll head to the beautiful port town of Nafplio and spend some time exploring the city and surrounding areas. The car-free island of Hydra will give us a couple of days to relax and unwind after all our sightseeing. Once we’re rejuvenated, we’ll take a short ferry ride back to Athens to explore the city, including the Acropolis and Parthenon.

hey pen. how are you doing with big grid. I am stuck with 128 left
4:31 pm
penquis

i have worked on it in three stages....couldn't sleep last night, so i started in the wee hours....listed with 50 left....now down to 20....
4:32 pm

I'm sorry about the no sleep, pen.

Kaplan the Magne

I take meds for sleep problems. I was a lifelong insomniac.
4:36 pm
penquis

hope it works for you...
4:36 pm
Kaplan the Magne

Now I'm a lifelong druggie. Much better.
4:36 pm
periwinkle

what do you take Kaplan if you don't mind me asking?
4:37 pm
Kaplan the Magne

I'm kidding about "druggie"- too disparaging a word. I just have a medication regime that helps with sleep.
4:39 pm
Kaplan the Magne

It's a combo. Some antidepressants work for some people, others require more of a sedative, and some people need ambient. See if you can find a good doctor to work with. I'm being very general about what I take- everyone is different.
4:39 pm
periwinkle

ok
4:41 pm
periwinkle

st8 anyone?
4:41 pm
Kaplan the Magne

If that helps. It also helps to have good sleep hygiene. No computers or phones in the bedroom, have a turn off time, and try to go to sleep at a similar time each night. If you have morning awakening too early, or not falling to sleep at night, or midnight awakening it's all data.
4:41 pm
penquis

that is my missing 8...

I am not sure what previous word you are referring to. not using list as yet. I have an st7 and a st9. does the 8 go with them?
4:44 pm
penquis

no....goes with the word that is a geographical term....the st 5 of Gibraltar, for example...
4:45 pm
periwinkle

Rangers Mool, I know the feeling
5:16 pm
hokie carla

still need 7 8's
5:16 pm
moolingwa

all that talent and opportunity, to come out that flat...embarrassing really
5:17 pm
moolingwa

such a good opportunity wasted this year
5:17 pm
NANCY

and against a rookie goalie to make it even worse.
5:17 pm
moolingwa

yeah, they had 7 rebound chances in the entire 7 game series...just really poor
5:17 pm
NANCY

oh well, there is hopefully next year.
5:18 pm
moolingwa

yeah, though I expect they'll fire Gallant...not much to be done about the roster with the Cap
5:19 pm

pardon, but I dont know who Gallant is, the coach?
5:19 pm

yeah

neutrina - a feminine neutrino
5:20 pm

too bad, because it is not always the coaches fault when the team is a solid talent.
5:21 pm

yeah, I think in this case he's a good part of it
5:21 pm
moolingwa

If I look at Pittsburgh, I don't fault their coach...more their front office
5:22 pm

I do think markets like Toronto, New York and to some extent Montreal are inherently harder though
5:22 pm

well, you know better than I. I just know we love our Cooper and he isnt going anywhere
