Although after 53 I'm bogging down :)

7:43 am

Gail

Yeah, I'm at 57. I can't find that fourth W word.

7:44 am

fit1

Well I upped to 56, and I'm off to golf. But I don't think this is a barn blazer like the last few

9:53 am

Atalante

the fourth W word is quite Tolkieny ..

9:58 am

Uneaixoise

3 4-letter W words and 1 6-letter one, right?

10:03 am

Atalante

*gasp* I've got a 5 letter one!

10:07 am

Uneaixoise

aha! the total rises!

10:10 am

Atalante

now I need to find the 6!

10:11 am

Uneaixoise

10:12 am

Atalante

the 5 is the tolkien-y one, if that helps!

Uneaixoise

R8/70 ideology of the political right.

12:15 pm

MammaJill

Thanks Treble99!

12:25 pm

Doogle

Gail - That S7/36 word you gave has the dictionary definition of an S7 word that just isn't quite in the puzzle (and would be an S7/28 if it were), and the adjective derived from that word *would* be an S7/36, but it's not quite in the puzzle either. What am I missing????

12:26 pm

Doogle

Never mind. Time to take a break.

12:54 pm

leef34

definitely a tough one...some weird words

12:58 pm

Judi

I'm with Doogle. That S7-36 is not coming together for me. Any other clues or help would be appreciated.

1:06 pm

baggo

i just copied and pasted gail's def to "google" and got the word...

1:08 pm

Judi

Thanks, Baggo. That works.

1:10 pm

baggo

no problem judi...that's what i do when all else fails. and i found a new search site at the same time. (dictionary of difficult words)

1:19 pm

sprite

A very late start, but the puzzle is not so big, I see... time to have some babblefun!

1:24 pm

jo145

Short of a few words, I'll do the ironing and come back later. I thought oit was fairly easy at first and then I struggled!

1:52 pm

Judi

Okay, the C4-1 gets my vote for weirdest word of the day. Never seen that combination before.

1:54 pm

sprite

Couldn't agree more, Judi. Must be something scottish or irish, I presume.

2:17 pm

Atalante

welsh - plural of welsh word for lake

2:19 pm

sprite

Thanks Atalante... I knew the word from other babble grids but it sure looks weird!

2:41 pm

Atalante

Its common when you've lived in wales for a good number of years :)

GRRRR. Lith, n, photographic film with a very thin coat of emulsion, producing images of high contrast and density.

It won't take THAT word but it's always full of stuff that only a Ph.D. in English (no offense) would know. grumble grumble grumble

4:51 pm

Atalante

add 2 letters on the end ...

6:11 pm

hbpanda

Okay--a friend told me about this site. I'm putting in words that I KNOW are words but I'm getting message that they're NOT in the puzzle. ???? Does that just mean that someone else has already used it? Thanks in advance for reply.

6:12 pm

fit1

ok, I got the two L's based on a photograph. So what's the third? Eh?

6:14 pm

hbpanda

Got to go. Will ask my question again next time.

6:22 pm

Uneaixoise

no, it just means they're a bit arbitrary about what they'll accept

6:22 pm

Uneaixoise

ditto re third L . . . help, please

6:41 pm

DarleenMB

thanks Atalante, found 'em right after my post. tsk. I HATE this game LOL.

6:42 pm
