12:48 am

pmbuko

C6x6 (so far)

12:54 am

Mizu

has anyone actually used the Z yet?

12:57 am

smithchick

This is only my third time to play, but it seems to me the z is just to take up space.

12:57 am

pmbuko

Have 60 words, but no Z used

12:59 am

brandyjack

14 words, z used.

1:00 am

pmbuko

just used the Z! (not the first letter)

1:00 am

sfneil

I suspect the Z is a red herring.

1:00 am

sfneil

okay what do I know. ;)

1:03 am

pmbuko

have the Z in 3 words so far.

1:03 am

sfneil

duh. I had already used it twice before I said that. I need to go to bed now. Happy spelling!

1:07 am

smithchick

How long are these z words?

1:07 am

pmbuko

64 words, 850pts. Stopping now in favor of Harry Potter. :)

5/28x2
5/30

1:42 am

smithchick

Hey elmer, brother-in-law

1:55 am

smithchick

Since when did indian cease being a word?

2:01 am

Doogle

The game is just like Scrabble in that it doesn't allow proper nouns.

2:03 am

augurus

The proper noun ..z./13 and ..z../28 are proper nouns and should not be legal.

The weapon .z../13 is an abbreviation of a weapon, an appreviation of a proper noun, and should not be legal.

According to the ENable dictionary, there is a defintion to .z.., and if you can display actual proof, I'd love to see it because Google is not working for my cause.

2:03 am

smithchick

When it is used generically it isn't capitalized...i.e. indian bread, indian summer, etc.

2:06 am

Doogle

All of those Indian words are capitalized in my Webster's, for whatever that's worth.

2:33 am

LordCrank

there is a spanish word in this one

2:58 am

Readhead

More than one Spanish word...

3:12 am

nicole

the hairy-nosed dolphin is back again - the words I am learning here...

3:57 am

sprite

Learning new words... my very convincing excuse for playing babble! :D
Morning all...

4:04 am

nicole

sprite - you know how to get the stats, right? can you post them please?

4:07 am

sprite

I like to play without stats until I am a good way, so give me a little more time - I'll make the stats in about half an hour, ok?

4:08 am

nicole

sprite - sure, whenever, thanks... (I just don't know how to get them)

4:10 am

sprite

How nice, my favorite P5 from yesterday is back too ;)

4:18 am

augurus

c7/44: Feel good hit of the summer.

I was trying to piece this word a couple puzzles ago. Have a fun time trying to decipher the reference. At one point, I believe one of my friends believed this is what the White Album displayed on the cover.

4:19 am

sprite

Nosy, very nosy indeed... ;)

4:32 am

sprite

Okay, today's babble stats:

4:37 am

nicole

thanks augurus - a fun clue (couldn't get it, so took a break and got it while I was in the shower!)

4:38 am

nicole

thanks sprite - now I know why I was getting stuck so early on - not that many words in today's grid

4:39 am

sprite

No, I had the same... usually get about half without really working hard, so when I got stuck at 55, I knew we were in trouble ;)

4:43 am

nicole

h5/18 - i thought it was just a car name but I know now it's more than that :-)

4:46 am

sprite

I mistyped an A5/12 and got a peculiar A5/30, definition is 'chemical compound that contains the group N3'. Never heard of that one, so it definitely makes my babbling allowed today!

4:49 am

sprite

Oh, that name-thing I had with C4/6, first time it popped up in a grid. Never knew it could mean 'a possession; a spear' as well!

5:58 am

Technium

It's great what random guessing can get you - R7/32 was too sappy for me to have know.

7:11 am

EvaNadine

7:52 am

EdArzakh

8:05 am

DarleenMB

A plea folks ... could the chit chat be kept to a minimum today so I don't have to hide the log? Please?

8:12 am

leef34

You could always just not read the log Darleen.

8:15 am

DarleenMB

Well gee, leff, I never thought of that.

I like to be able to see stats and clues/hints. I'm on sloooooooooooooooooow dialup and it's been taking forever for the page to load not to mention trying to sift through all the junk to find the meat. If you get my drift.

8:16 am

carolecs

Or copy out the stats from the chat log and use them like i do

8:18 am

carolecs

I do a stat list then add the ones people have found and cross them off as I go, then go back after I have found them all to check for more hints

8:19 am

sarcasticah

The chatting is half the fun for me, especially when my mom and aunt are playing. (Hi Gail and tedybeth!)

8:20 am

Gail

Hi, Sarcasticah!

8:28 am

GoBraves

Question: If a c6 w/ lime is good, would a c7 with limes be better?

8:32 am

sarcasticah

Now I have that lime-in-the-coconut song stuck in my head...

8:33 am

beepbeep

That second P4 / 6 took me far too long to find! Thanks for the help evanadine. Now I'm going to work on GoBrave's cryptic(?) clue!

8:38 am

EvaNadine

plus, i hear itll change your whole latitude.
;)

8:38 am

Dani

9:40 am

bcritch

Yes, India and Indian should be accepted words, you'd think.

9:45 am

Abby1

That's odd. It accepted a car/motorcycle name...Indian is a brand of motorcycle too. >:(

9:47 am

jessamyn27

:)

10:17 am

Cherrypop

Just call me "Queen of the 4 letter words"! That seems to be all I can see today. LOL

10:17 am

EvaNadine

any clues on the R8 and R7?

10:18 am

sage

Hail queen cherry!

10:18 am

Judi

It doesn't accept India or Indian because those letters don't connect in the puzzle.

10:19 am

Uneaixoise

i've got the ac5 chilly and the ac5 squirrel food but could you give me a hint on the 3rd one?

10:20 am

sage

yeah they do

10:20 am

heatherann

boober, thanks :) I was missing an ac5/16.

10:21 am

jessamyn27

the letters for india and indian do connect, but I guess they're considered proper nouns?

10:21 am

boober

ac5/16- unpleasantly sharp, pungent or bitter to taste or smell

10:22 am

Goose

i am stuck on the last h -my eyes are rebelling. i have:
h5/18
h6/30

:D

10:31 am

marydoug

R7 - A translucent yellowish to dark brown resin

10:31 am

captain_lou

you know, i'm no sicko, but this is the second day where a man's "member" is one of the accepted words

10:32 am

Judi

Sorry to argue about the indian/india thing...but, you would have to use the same n twice for indian. I'm pretty sure that's why it's not working. And there's too many iii's together to make india work.

10:34 am

EvaNadine

sorry judi, but youre wrong on this one.
you start with the upper right i, go straight down to the d, then you jump diaginally up + left to the next i and go diagonally down to the left catching the a and the n.
its possible, it just doesnt accept it.

10:35 am

sage

start with one of the top i's
go to the n on the 2nd row
go to the d on the third row
go back to the i on the 2nd row
go to the a on the third row
go to the n on the far left on the 4th row

10:35 am

mxzombie

judi...india and indian are both in the puzzle

10:35 am

Goose

yes, captainlou, and it makes me mad because its always one of the first ones i find! :)

10:35 am

Judi

My apologies. I see it now.

10:36 am

jessamyn27

ty, evandine

1:27 pm

llama

sarcasticah - one s6 is "fragments of dark lava". the other, I can't find a definition for...sorry!

1:28 pm

llama

sarcasticah - the sa6 is the one I couldn't find a definition for, so the sc6 is the one you need (that's the lava one). sorry for any confusion!

1:33 pm

sj

Any hints out there for di4/7?

1:34 pm

smithchick

sa6 is past tense of s4/4

1:34 pm

smithchick

sj, think herniated

1:35 pm

EvaNadine

sj - think of a CD

1:37 pm

sj

I can't believe I missed that! Thank you :)

Now is do5/12 that obvious?

1:37 pm

sarcasticah

Ah ha, that was it, llama! Now I just need one... more...word! My brain hurts.

1:38 pm

EvaNadine

its the plural of a D4/5

1:38 pm

smithchick

Are there three ca6's?

1:39 pm

sarcasticah

Oh, duh, the last word was right in front of me. Finished!

1:39 pm

llama

smithchick - no, I was confused. sorry - it's a co6 that I'm missing. it's the last word I need, and I can't find it!

1:40 pm

llama

if someone could kindly tell me what the 5th co is, I would be *ever* so grateful! I've got coc6, cor6x2, and cos6. thank you!

1:40 pm

smithchick

co6 is an odd spelling of another c word

1:43 pm

EvaNadine

llama, its another Coc

1:43 pm

mtnjock

hey SJ

I just got that one, I believe it is spanish for 'gifts', but to make it easier, just think is NASCAR or the opposite of ya's

1:43 pm

have a hint on the sa6? :)

2:00 pm

sj

o4/6 is this A perennial plant (Oxalis tuberosa) of the high Andes, grown for its edible tubers but plural

2:02 pm

EvaNadine

Sa6 is past tense of a Sa4/4

2:02 pm

Goose

saladspork(i love your name..lol)
sa6 i have is past tense of a word you probably already have meaning -at peace, not crazy (lol) :) Im sure it has a prettier def :)

2:03 pm

saladspork

got it, sweet.

2:03 pm

EvaNadine

ok, i know the D i am missing is a D6 -- anyone have any clues?

2:04 pm

sj

the last or4/6 is an acronym

2:04 pm

Goose

thanks sj!

2:12 pm

Goose

mtnjock, could you restate your d05/12 clue pretty please???? :)

2:12 pm

EvaNadine

*GRRRR*
cant find my last D and its my last word!
does anyone have a clue??
it should be a D6

2:13 pm

EvaNadine

goose, its the plural of a D4/5

2:13 pm

McNaStud

What about India and Inian? What the crap.

2:14 pm

saladspork

d5/12 is the plural of d4/5 which is an honorific title for a woman in spanish.

not really sure why it works on this puzzle, but it does.

2:15 pm

sj

though it's not my last word evanadine, I am working on the d6!

2:17 pm

EvaNadine

i hafta leave in 15 minutes.
it would SO suck if i couldnt find my last word...heh

2:17 pm

Goose

its probably the other d I don't have..do4/5 and do/12 is what im missing + the elusive d6

2:18 pm

smithchick

Drat, I'm down to that same d6 word and two c's and I have to leave.
Dang reality for intruding.

2:20 pm

Goose

thanks!

2:20 pm

sj

How about help for ca6 but not frankness or sincerity of expression; openness.

2:20 pm

EvaNadine

**NOTE!!

i finally found the final D, but its a D5, not a D6
(which means there are only 9 6-letter words, but there are 25 5-letter words!)
and it uses the Z
;)

2:21 pm

sj

yay evanadine, but can we have a hint!

2:23 pm

McNaStud

I dont get your coded messages... what the heck does d6 and c7/44 mean?

2:23 pm

EvaNadine

Di5/30

2:24 pm

ah, lucky people who are done... I'm only at 85 words... :p

good luck! :)

2:37 pm

it's not diz__.

2:38 pm

That d5/30 is more commonly known in the graphics industry.

2:38 pm

2:39 pm

got that one, need the other ca6

2:47 pm

Doogle

Sorry, Evanadine. There *are* 10 6-letter words. So does that mean there are actually 100 words, not 99???

2:48 pm

sj

What does the 10th 6 letter word begin with?

2:52 pm

jessamyn27

90 words - getting there slowly!

2:57 pm

Jfactor

Sc6 - any clues out there?

2:58 pm

saladspork

any clues on the r7 or the r8??

2:58 pm

jessamyn27

di5/30! Thank you, saladspork!

2:59 pm

jessamyn27

r7 - take an r5 you probably have, and make it a verb. r8 - clue from Goose earlier, regarding AAA benefits. :)

2:59 pm

I just went and checked the stats that my husband got this am. the stats that sprite posted are correct...there are 10 6 letter words and 24 5 letter words....

Thanks, Doogle - missing a couple of those.

3:08 pm

ro4/ 4
ro4/ 5
ro5/ 10
ro7/ 32

3:10 pm

saladspork

Jessamyn - thanks, but I don't have that r5. I'm woefully lacking in R's.

3:15 pm

saladspork

aha, just got a bunch... i think i'm just missing an r4/6.

3:16 pm

saladspork

r4/6 = A mythical bird of prey having enormous size and strength. Plural.

3:18 pm

jessamyn27

Sheeps! Dratted sc6 - been looking and looking. Also 2 co6s, apparently, and a ca6.

3:20 pm

jessamyn27

Saladspork - the r5 is frequently rubbed on smooth substances to make them less slippery (if that helps!)

3:20 pm

saladspork

One of the co6's is related to an s4 - think geometry.

3:21 pm

jessamyn27

Right... you already got that! Sorry...

3:22 pm

brandyjack

there are 5 co6's

3:23 pm

brandyjack

forget that 5 co6's remark. think my stat generator needs work....

3:23 pm

sophiar76

got it saladspork, thank you!

3:23 pm

Doogle

Bugs! Sc6 - highly-vesicular (almost "frothy") basalt

3:24 pm

jessamyn27

I have 2 co6/24s and one co6/30 (the one related to the co5/18.)

3:26 pm

torgone

brandyjack, there better be 5 co6's! I've been looking for the fifth one for an hour.

3:27 pm

jessamyn27

Thanks, Sheeps - got it!

3:29 pm

jessamyn27

ok, down to C's now... 5 to go...

3:30 pm

marydoug

I finally finished.. whew!!!!

3:33 pm

Doogle

I do think the stats are somehow off today. I've got 98 words, and if the stats are correct, I MUST be missing a c4, but I've punched in every c4 combination multiple times now, and I really don't think there is another one.

But, just in case... here are all my Cs, in order - anyone have anything I don't show?

ca4/7 x2
ca4/6
ca6/27
ca6/24
cl4/6
co4/8
co6/30
co7/44
co5/18 x2
co6/30

co4/6
co6/24
co7/36
co6/30
co6/24
cr4/6
cr4/8
cr4/9
cr5/20

Arrrggghhhh! :|

3:34 pm

Doogle

Torgone - yes, there are 5 co6s.

3:35 pm

jessamyn27

Sheeps! There's another Co4 for 8, unless I'm much mistaken.

3:36 pm

torgone

jessamyn27, there should be 2 more co6/30's. I have one, a variant of co7/44.

3:36 pm

jessamyn27

Nope, I'm not mistaken... look again... :)

3:36 pm

jessamyn27

torgone, I know; darned if I can find them, though... ;)

3:39 pm

Doogle

Thanks, bugs! Can't believe I missed that one given how many variants of it there are!

So I'm done (assuming there are only 99 words and not 100). Okay, off to do something useful. :)

3:40 pm

jessamyn27

Doogle - after Co7/44, there's one Co5/18, then the missing Co4/8, then another Co5/18.

3:40 pm

jessamyn27

Heh... you already got it! Ah, well... ;)

3:42 pm

Doogle

The weirdest Co6/30 is a variant spelling for "A small foxlike mammal, found in Central Asia." The Co word is also part of its taxonomic name.

3:43 pm

torgone

Stop da music!! I have 98 words(including the co4/8 you're missing) but I'm missing one of your co5/18's AND your 3rd co6/30!

3:45 pm

Doogle

So there *are* 100 words then. Very frustrating - I now have no idea what I'm missing.

The 2 co5/18s are very similar, and related. One is the plural of a c4/8, the other the singular of a c6/30

3:45 pm

torgone

Ok, I'm stupid. I just need the last co6/30.

3:47 pm

torgone

Sorry, I miscounted. There's been some confusion today. I blame Canada.

3:47 pm

Doogle

Well, so maybe there are 100 words and maybe there aren't. But Evanadine said that he got 99 words with only 9 6s, and there are definitely 10 of them.

And the problem is that if anyone who has 99 or 100 words, they've stopped playing. Sigh. Guess we'll find out when the scores are posted.

3:50 pm

jessamyn27

torgone - one of the co5/18s is the singular of a plural you already have. The other is the plural of Doogle's missing co4/8.

3:51 pm

jessamyn27

argh - sorry to repeat. :(

Not looking like I'll get past 96 words, unless remarkable things happen in the next five minutes! ;)

3:55 pm

Doogle

What are you missing, Jessamyn?

4:00 pm

torgone

Right, I have both co5/18's. Doogle was just missing the co4/8 that just drops a letter from the second co5/18. I am still working on the weird co6/30. Sorry again for being a dolt. It's getting close to going home time.

4:01 pm

sj

Any clues out there for the ca6/24?

4:02 pm

brandyjack

torgone, there are 5 co6's. I misinterpreted someone elses found list which mismatched mine. Unfortunately, doublechecking my program kinda runed the game for me....

4:04 pm

Doogle

Ca6/24 - establishments found in Monte Carlo and Vegas, for instance.

4:04 pm

brandyjack

and i'll bet the one you don't have is an asian mammal (nicely vague hint don't you think?)....

4:07 pm

MILK

cheese

4:08 pm

torgone

Thanks, brandyjack. I was also led astray by some earlier posts. I just got the 5th co6/30. 99/1212. I guess that's it.

4:09 pm

sj

thank you doogle, i have been seeing a variation of that word all day! now which letter starts mysterious word #100?

4:28 pm

Jfactor

Anyone have a clue for the R8?

4:32 pm

MammaJill

R8 is a compound word of 2 4/5's

4:34 pm

torgone

Jfactor, it's a compound of 2 words you probably have. Think AAA

4:42 pm

Jfactor

Thanks U2...i got it:-)

4:43 pm

Uneaixoise

I have
s4 x 7
s6 x 2
what am i missing? thanks

4:45 pm

brandyjack

i'm betting there is 100 words because my stat generator only shows 1 sa/6 and doogle found two.....

4:53 pm

torgone

brandyjack, I only see 1 sa/6 in Doogle's 2:59 post...

4:54 pm

Uneaixoise

could someone give me a hint re the missing s? no. of letters?

4:55 pm

Doogle

Yep, only 1 Ca6.

Does anyone have 99 words with a total other than 1212?

5:00 pm

Uneaixoise, it's a 4

5:01 pm

5:21 pm

JFactor - there's no Ri-7. There's an Ro-7...

5:24 pm

NM. first my dirty screen makes me misread Doogles SC6 as SA6, then he typo's SA6 into CA6....... getting my hopes up.....

5:26 pm

LOL thanks saladspork...I guess I need to figure out what the heck I'm missing.

5:34 pm

saladspork

let's talk about the a-words now... i'm missing two. i have 8 a5's and 3 a4's... any ideas?

6:30 pm

Uneaixoise

did anyone else have something weird happen to their ranking from yesterday to today? I slipped from 20 something to 60 something and I don't see how . . . just curious

6:32 pm

Doogle

Brandyjack - It wasn't a typo. Somebody asked about the Ca6 as well , which was what I was writing about in that post.

6:33 pm

brandyjack

Uneaixoise> It has to do with the large numbers of new players i think. Less than 100 last weekend, now almost 500.

6:35 pm

Doogle

Uneaixoise - I've already written to Jamie about the stats thing. I slipped from 32nd to 65th, then to 74th, all during a time when I got 2 completions, a 17th highest score and a 20th highest score. I know that this huge influx of people is adding a lot of people who are scoring very well, but that still doesn't explain how one's ranking can plummet like that when one is posing high scores. I'd suggest writing in a comment - the more people he hears from, the more likely it is that he'll figure out the problem (if there is one).

6:36 pm

brandyjack

Doogle - Do you only have 1 CA6? I have ca6/24 and ca6/27.

6:36 pm

BrotherCaine

dacron?

6:37 pm

Uneaixoise

brandyjack, i know the number of players has gone through the roof but when newbies who score considerably less are ranked higher, something doesn't add up (pun intended!)

6:40 pm

Uneaixoise

thanks, Doogle

6:48 pm

Doogle

Brandyjack - ca6/24 and ca6/27 is correct. I posted all 10 6s at 2:59.

6:59 pm

Uneaixoise

aaaahhhhhh, i finally got the last c6!!!

7:01 pm

I think there is definitely a problem in the rankings. I am quite new (this is only my fourth -- maybe fifth-- puzzle), but I am already ranked #8? I mean, I've done pretty well, but I haven't even had a single completion!

7:11 pm

ok, I'm way behind. any clues on the 2nd i4/5? Thanks I feel like I have tried everything

7:21 pm

Mom

This is my 5th day - my husband found it for me. Bless his heart! How did it become so popular all of the sudden? I am having a blast with it!!

7:29 pm

smithchick

Whitney Matheson hipclicked it on USA Today's web page.

7:33 pm

Mom

I'm glad she did. I hope those that have been playing for some time, don't mind the new comers.

7:37 pm

smithchick

I kept having to leave. I'm finally down to my last c. I have: ca4x3,ca6x2,cl4,co4x5,co5x4,co6x5, co7x2, cr4x3,cr5. I'm confused by all the earlier postings about what I'm lacking. Help!

7:40 pm

sfneil

smithchick I have 6 co4s.

7:42 pm

smithchick

Thx, sfneil

7:45 pm

sfneil

no problem... I seem to be missing a co6 myself...

7:53 pm

smithchick

I'm going to assume that the earlier stats of 99 words are correct, because then I can be finished!!! WOOHOO!!!!

7:54 pm

Jfactor

Anyone have clues for Co5 & Co6...I'm as far as I've been since I started 3 days ago...but totally frustrated now:-)

7:56 pm

Jfactor

sorry....I meant Co7.

8:04 pm

tedybeth

There are 2 Co7's. Do you have either of them, jfator?

8:07 pm

Jfactor

yes I have the one that I wouldn't snort about:-)

8:07 pm

Jfactor

having a hard time finding the other though

8:11 pm

tedybeth

jfactor: the other one has several meanings: a long cigar tapered at both ends. Also a luminous halo around a celestial body visible through a haze

8:11 pm

Jax

the other co 7 is a plural of a co 6

8:12 pm

tedybeth

oops - the C7 is plural of C6/24

8:13 pm

Jax

or plural for a kind of beer

8:14 pm

Jfactor

Thanks so much Tedybeth and Jax:-)

8:16 pm

tedybeth

LOL, JAX !! may not be in the dictionary, but probably more well known!!

8:22 pm

Jax

any help on the 2nd i5?

8:25 pm

Jfactor

which one Jax?

8:27 pm

Jax

the one I have was the easy one, at least to me, related to a thought, don't know the other one

8:30 pm

tedybeth

JAX -- I have i4 x 4 ---- no 5's at all. Didn't the stats say a total of 4 'i' words??? did I miss something?

8:31 pm

Jfactor

how about this one Jax: "Rainbow: iridescent"

8:35 pm

Jax

Teddybeth, sorry it was an i4/5. Jfactor, I have one with that def with 4 points, is there another similar one with 5 pts? hmmmm

8:36 pm

Jax

sorry, got it. Duh

8:37 pm

Jfactor

that one should be worth 5 points

Okay... I am at 66 words and I have been on and off all day (though, in my defense, I have a 4-year old!!!) and I AM SPENT and going to bed 11:11... everyone make a wish! Good luck to the rest of you in further time zones. :)

Trying for my first completion... I am missing an ac5/16 (I have the "bitter" one)
also ca4 (I have 4/6 and 4/7x2)

Would love some clues.
