12:56 am
modina

more clues for the l-7, and c-7 please
12:58 am
modina

got the c
12:58 am
runningforhome

The l/7 involves the stuff that you have to pick off your sweaters.
1:00 am
runningforhome

Babble must not be very good in bed... doesn't even know what a clit is!
1:01 am
modina

runningforhome, i was thinking the same thing....lol
1:03 am
modina

thanks for the l-7 clue....got it
1:04 am
sprite

lol runningforhome... so babble is definitely male ;)
Great, puzzle is working and not so big today... I am going to enjoy this one!
1:57 am
sprite

If that edible C7 is worth 48 points, I'd say the edible part is debatable!
2:01 am
sprite

Guess it must be... found a 2nd C7/48 that isn't edible, I suppose. Related to the cellular, outermost extraembryonic membrane, composed of trophoblast lined with mesoderm - so now you know!
5:44 am
Atalante

whats happened to the little box that says how many points you get for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 letter words???
5:49 am
roberts1

Atalante, it has been gone for at least a week, I would guess. Subtract 3 from the number of letters and multiply. That is how I remember it but sadly that requires thinking! :)
5:57 am
tedybeth

Atalante: When the current ads went in, the box went out. We can probably still find it in the puzzle archive link -- ??
6:00 am
Gail

I think if you click on Babble rules, it also tells you how the scoring works. I think the problems with the grid started with the new ads.
6:09 am
Atalante

I know its been gone ... I was just hoping it was going to mysteriously reappear ;)

Thanks for that roberts1 - but you're right, it does require thinking LOL!
6:13 am
roberts1

It requires all my thought processing to get about half the words so every little bit matters to me. Particularly today!
6:16 am
Gail

I'm watching the news reports on the bomb blasts in London and hoping this terrible thing hasn't affected any of our fellow babblers from the U.K.
6:28 am
Atalante

everything's ok here .... my husband's up in a building right next to Liverpool Street - but the building is structurally bomb-proof - whew!
6:32 am
Gail

It's a terrible thing.
6:33 am
Atalante

I just don't see what they expect to gain from it all ...
6:34 am
carolecs

I am only able to get news reports via the web which is very slow today, it all begins again, my thoughts are with those in London today not far up the road from me. God Bless.
7:05 am
EvaNadine

is there another clue on the "edible" C7/48?
7:09 am
EvaNadine

its so hard to wake up and hear about things like this happening all over the world...i have family in london, so i need to call my parents to see if theyve heard if theyre all ok...
7:17 am
Gail

c7/48 The small intestines of pigs, especially when cooked and eaten as food.

Some people consider that edible - not me!
7:19 am
EvaNadine

ahhh...silly me, i thought babble woulda required the real spelling...
thanks gail!
7:23 am
baggo

Just got up, Pray all our babblers are ok!!!

7:50 am
fit1

To my English Babble friends. My heart is with you. I am originally from NY, and I know what you are feeling now. I hope you and yours are all OK.
8:15 am
EvaNadine

8:16 am
leef34

8:17 am
leef34

8:20 am
EvaNadine

well, well, well...good work leef!
8:28 am
leef34

R6/18 is the last one...enjoy.
9:14 am
baggo

thanks leef!!
10:32 am
modina

i am stuck on the non edible c-7.....any clues?.....want to get that before i work on the 6's
10:55 am
runningforhome

modina, sprite gave a definition for the other c/7 at 2:01 am. The word is kind of similar to a word for a singing group.
10:57 am
Uneaixoise

re C7, here's a definition: an irregular, rapid, uncontrolled, involuntary, excessive movement that seems to move randomly from one part of the body to another
11:12 am
modina

ok, i have looked through three dictionaries....still cant find that last c-7.......arrrggg
11:28 am
Uneaixoise

re C7, Google it
11:29 am
Uneaixoise

ohmygosh, I'm so sorry--that was a definition for C6 not C7--very distracted by BBC coverage of London!
11:35 am
Uneaixoise

re C7 same idea as sprite but different wording: Membrane attached to, and enveloping, the embryo. Defines the extra-embryonic cavity. Performs a major nutritive function by connecting the embryo to the mother.
11:39 am
modina

i found a word that matches that definition....which is what i thought it was....but it is not in the puzzle.
11:40 am
modina

i have tried every variation possible....it just doesnt work....i am getting frustrated.....
11:43 am
EvaNadine

modina...i got uber-frustrated too....but i finally found it, and so will you...just keep noodling the last 2 letters.
11:51 am
modina

finally got it.....thanks for all the help.......
11:52 am
modina

now i only have 9 more six letter words.....lol
12:04 pm
EvaNadine

heh, i still have 8 more myself
12:24 pm
runningforhome

I only need four more... I'll make a list of all of them (and the sevens) with clues once I'm done. :)
12:53 pm
runningforhome

Grrrr... I found all the sixes and sevens, and had a list of clues all typed out, and then my computer froze before I could post it!
1:02 pm
runningforhome

l/7/28 - more of the stuff you pick off your sweater
