Hi aslindy
6:21 am
Scrabbler

I passed halfway and must get to work. Enjoy the day.

you too!

good morning all. help with top row E please
7:07 am
Kiani

hi all
7:07 am
pabtrek

ef 7 and 8
7:08 am
periwinkle

ty just found them in my scrabble dictionary. new words for me
7:08 am
periwinkle

Turkish title of respect
7:23 am
aslindy

hi kiani, peri, pabtrek
7:30 am
MollyL

It's words like that that make me grumpy about these grids
7:32 am
aslindy

because they are not english words?
7:35 am
MollyL

I don't mind words that are not English as long as they have some common knowledge base with people who speak English. There is no rhyme or reason to the foreign words Enable "accepts". It takes merde, shit in French, but not the more commonly known merci, thank you.
7:37 am
mael

it also doesn't take shite, which is a hell of a lot more common than merde
7:37 am
mael

but the ef words are literary and were in use when the dictionary enable picked was compiled
7:39 am
aslindy

yeah, it doesn't make much sense
7:39 am
mael

which was what feels like eons ago, hah
7:40 am
saanichcat

enable is NOT a dictionary; it is a selective word LIST. That,s the frustrating difference!
7:40 am
MollyL

What book was the ef word used in?
7:40 am
mael

it wasn't a list selected from a specific dictionary? today I learned
7:41 am
mael

I mean, I knew the ef words.
7:41 am
mael

but I read a lot of older novels as a kid :)
7:42 am
saanichcat

The ef words are fairly commom, came across them in reading, same as mael
7:43 am
mael

and this is not to say that I know most of the strange words enable selects, but ef7 was definitely one I know independently of babble
7:44 am
MollyL

I must have the low-rent reading list then. Never seen those words before.
7:45 am
aslindy

I am reading a series about an Egyptologist, those ef words have been used a few times
7:45 am
mael

I don't think it's low-rent reading at all, Molly. You just maybe weren't into Victorian travelogues or historical novels or the like. Fantasy grabbed the word too.
7:50 am
mael

but that does not counter the point that Enable is full of incredibly obscure or obsolete terms :)
7:58 am
aslindy

clue for mi8 please? either one
7:58 am
aslindy

I mean, mi8,60
8:01 am
mael

hadn't made it down there yet, looking!
8:01 am
MollyL

Use the incorrect prefex and attach it to "dictionaries and encyclopedias are _____ence books.
8:02 am
MollyL

Now that is a dumb word
8:02 am
mael

thanks molly!
8:02 am
aslindy

thank you molly
8:03 am
aslindy

that has the same beginning and ending of the other mi8,60
8:05 am
mael

that also got me a mi8/50 and a di8/50
8:19 am
Aloyisius

is the mi8.60 a weirdo or normal word? It is my last one and I am blind to it..ty for any hints in the right direction
8:24 am
Aloyisius

ask and ye shall see.. found it. fw
8:24 am
MollyL

Both mi8/60 are weird, in my opinion
8:25 am
MollyL

Funny that you had one and not the other
8:25 am
Aloyisius

must scoot.. Happy Babbling to all!
8:30 am
mael

bye aloy!
8:31 am
mael

I don't have the second mi8/60 either, it's my last 8. Hmmm
8:32 am
ChampFit

Super similar to the first one...
8:32 am
mattygroves

I have neither ;)
8:32 am
mael

thanks champ! moving some letters around...
8:33 am
mael

aha! was looking in the whole wrong place, thank you
8:33 am
hokie carla

I also have neither. in fact, I have no 8's.
8:35 am
mael

FW!
8:36 am
hokie carla

nice
8:37 am
mael

there's an ar8/9 combo, di8 x2, ef8, fa8, fi8, mi8 x4, and mo8
8:42 am
Shirlockc

so far, the grid is much nicer than yesterday's
8:46 am
ChampFit

I need a hint for the ar please. Feeling dim!

9:06 am
rururocks

9:08 am
aebmusica

After swimming with no bathing cap yesterday I Drained ears for awhile.
9:10 am
aslindy

well, I am done. time to dasher!
9:14 am
rastapopolous

9:33 am
MollyL

Don't anyone go into orthopedic surgery with Doctor Ruru
9:35 am
rururocks

hokie carla

9:46 am
rururocks

9:47 am
MollyL

According to earlier chat, it's well known if you read books about Victorian times or Egyptologists. 🙄
9:47 am
hokie carla

guess I will just look it up, thanks
9:48 am
hokie carla

yeah, never would've stumbled onto that
9:49 am
rururocks

9:53 am
MollyL

rururocks

9:55 am
MollyL

Can say I have ever watched a movie about Istanbul. This place has interesting book and movie taste.
9:56 am
justafreep

Oddly, it's never in movies about Constantinople.
9:56 am
rururocks

The one i remember was a prisoner movie
9:57 am
MollyL

I saw Midnight Express but I don't remember the ef word from it.
9:58 am
justafreep

Oh. Uh. Not to be crass, but I feel like if I were trapped in a Turkish prison, I'd use the ef word....
10:00 am
rururocks

I don't think it was Midnight Express.. although I did see that movie

moolingwa

I have 3 mi8s so far
11:32 am
periwinkle

do they all start with mis?
11:32 am
moolingwa

the mo8 I believe is the deposits left over from glaciers, looks like an anagram for a type of lettuce
11:33 am
moolingwa

2 do, the other does not
11:33 am
penquis

i have FI 8 and MO 8...
11:34 am

bottom row grey
11:35 am

yeah, it looks italian
11:36 am
periwinkle

got the first one you clued ty nrkii
11:36 am
moolingwa

11:37 am
periwinkle

11:37 am
nrkii

okay, now about that mi8 that is not a mis word...?
11:37 am
nrkii

is a "center" word?
11:37 am
periwinkle

to attribute wrongly not finding it
11:37 am
moolingwa

the mi8 looks like it's an adjective that has been converted into a verb
11:38 am
moolingwa

it's a 6/8 combo
11:39 am
hokie carla

and here I thought or5 was a phantom. that was my missing O on top.

11:42 am
hokie carla

def. never seen that
11:43 am
nrkii

Thanks, Molly, that did it!
11:43 am
hokie carla

of course it is the archaic version of the di word
11:43 am
MollyL

Me neither but apparently my reading is quiet plebian compared to some 😊
11:43 am
hokie carla

thank you, enable, for including all the archaic versions of words 🙄

nrkii

okay, so that's the only di/mi matching pair...
12:04 pm
nrkii

do you have all 3 of the "wrong" words for mi?
12:04 pm
hokie carla

no
12:05 pm
nrkii

before the waiter one, to draw the wrong conclusion
12:05 pm
hokie carla

it's not to plow a field wrong
12:05 pm
hokie carla

ah, got that, thx
12:05 pm
nrkii

after the waiter one, to attribute to something wrongly
12:06 pm

there's a latin plural m from the top that maybe you missed
3:12 pm
hokie carla

well, I have 4 related. don't see a way to make more without a D.
3:12 pm

maybe the latin plural M goes with my other 2 missing ones
3:15 pm
moolingwa

well there's a stand alone latin plural m

3:36 pm
moolingwa

the related 5s are from the right
3:37 pm
moolingwa
