8:42 am
Denny
clues gibven previously are good but i will repeat. b8 think captian of fishfingers or to look down on something gives you a ...view of things. i8 is what the meek shall do, or what you do if your wealthy aunt passes away and leaves you stuff!!
8:43 am
sarcasticah
Please don't post the actual words, folks! It takes the fun out of it for everyone else...
8:43 am

denny not sure wot that means at all as have only started playing 2day and dont know wot those abbreviations mean sorry
8:44 am
Denny
anj t7/36 - if you put a word for 3 with a word for a religious group, that will give you it.

mama
Darn. Won't take birdee or birdy. Enable writers must not have kids. ;-)
8:44 am
supermac
thanks denny understand ur last clues
8:45 am
Denny
supermac - b8 means the word starts with b and has 8 letters. the bigger numbers give the points. if you look at the babble rules it tells you how the points system work. i8 means starts with letter i and has 8 letters - good luck

there are sites where you can get the word list. my husband pulls the list and does it before he goes to work. there's not a way to do it where you don't run the risk of seeing the words...

Babble only accepts words in the ENABLE dictionary--the frustration you're experiencing is shared by many!!

10:56 am

I'd love to track down which version of ENABLE Babble is using. Closest I've found is a WORD.LST file from ENABLE2K (173528 words). 'demist' doesn't appear in that list, but does in the most recent ABLE supplement.
Dr God tells me an update will be in the works soon.
10:57 am

That's totally ridiculous!
10:58 am

That's ridiculous...............66/872
10:58 am
stuNkez
this is my first go - do i have to wait for 3 days average before i get a score in?
10:59 am

maybe in the enable dictionary demist is hyphenated to de-mist

I've never heard of the Enable dictionary. Is it in English? I can't believe the disallowed words. To be honest there are one or two that have been accepted that I expected to be refused. My first ever attempt - enjoying it.

bi4x2, bi5x2, bi6, bi7, bi8, br4, what haven't I got?

1:05 pm
sfneil
you're missing another b4, which differs from the one you have only in the last letter
1:06 pm

1:17 pm
amelu0218
Moozey, other than the fact that you're gonna smack yourself in the forehead when you see it... you probably already have the beginning of that word in your list.
1:18 pm
Moozey

suebhoney
I'm still in need of 3 m words, lots of t words, a bunch of d words and I'm already at 121/1639
1:21 pm
Denny
cagey - e4/6 is a middle eastern prince and then its plural. another e4/6 is to send out something like a ray of light and then its plural
e4/7 is what you see with and there are a few variants of it too. hope these help
1:21 pm
amelu0218

1:51 pm
Denny
llama - it's a variant spelling of an old english drink made from apples
1:51 pm
Kallia

The C6 for color has me stymied! Any more hints?

I have ce5x2, ch5x3 & cy5. Anyone want to clue me in on where I'm lacking? (missing one, dang it!)
2:13 pm
Denny
have you pluralised the cy5?
2:15 pm
Anj
Hey amelu0218, may need a bit of help with the alphabet soup :(
Ref your Cs, I think you're missing another ce/5/ The cy/6 is a plural of the cy/5
2:15 pm
llama

m4x8, m5x9 and m6x4. thanks!
2:17 pm
amelu0218

2:18 pm
Denny
Anj think I might be missing the c4/6 too - don't quite get the alphabet soup thing either?!
2:20 pm

2:27 pm

2:35 pm
amelu0218
denny, you're missing a c5
2:36 pm
Denny
minime - if you scroll down to earlier in the day, there are explanations. Basically d8/70 relates to a word beginning with d with 8 letters worth 70 points.
2:36 pm
Denny
amelu0218 - any advance on the c?! ;-)
2:37 pm
amelu0218

2:37 pm
Anj
Got it - thanks kimdog, amelu0218
amelu0218 that ce5 is probably the greek belt.
Denny, check my earlier post and add a ch5 for a list of all 15.

Getting there, slowly but surely... :)

3:14 pm
Judi
Can anyone tell me which T's I'm missing? I have T4x13, T5x21, T6x3 and T7x2.
3:16 pm
Jax
any hints for ce5 and ce6. I always seem to miss the obvious. Just a minute ago I was searching Hi and low for a ch 5, I had the ch 6 that was the plural. duh! boy this can make you brain dead
3:18 pm
Jax
judi, that is 39 t's, did I read the stats wrong? I thought there were only 34 ts?
3:19 pm
Lolly
jax - c6 is the plural of c5 which you do when you are very happy or when someone is doing something and you want to encourage them
3:19 pm
Judi
Dislexic. I have T4x13, T5x12, T7x2 and T6x3. I am 4 short.
3:20 pm
Lolly
oops, ok, that was ch5 and ch6, not ce - ignore whati just said pleeease!
3:21 pm

lolly, I have that one, the ch 5 and 6, but not the ce 5 and 6, is that the def for ce 5 and 6?

I have only seen 6 7's listed. It is almost impossible to scroll through the chat. Can someone tell me the 7th 7 word? I have c56x2, b40, t36, i40x2. What don't I see?
3:39 pm
Jax
there is an re 7/36 from an earlier post, but I don't have it yet!
3:41 pm

can 22 M's possibly be right? I have over 130 words but only 15 Ms and have tried all combos my poor brain can think up
3:42 pm
GoBraves
I have 5xm4, 7xm5 and 3xm6
3:43 pm
rubixDead
is there one or two t7's?
3:44 pm
carp
there's i8/55, plural of i7/40 and t6/39. past tense of t5/22 and t6/39
3:45 pm
Jax
go braves - I only have 130 words so I have alot to go. (and I have only 14 m's so far) but I do have 1 more m4 than you do
3:45 pm
Jax
so there is at least 1 more of those to find!
3:47 pm

I still can't get the last e and I'm about to go crazy. I've got: e4/6x2, e5/14x3, e4/8, e4/7x2, and e5/16. I have the princes, the give offs, the one meaning to build, and four having to do with ocular. PLEASE HELP ME - thanks!
3:48 pm
wordly wise
i have 175 words, 1 to get, can anyone beat this?
3:49 pm
Jax
Go Braves - saw an earlier post that said this (there is 1 missing, but this might help) mex5, mi x 11, mu x5
3:50 pm
GoBraves
Cagey
last one is most commonly combined with "while"
3:50 pm
saladspork
Cagey - there's an e4 that can be used as a prefix to "while"
3:51 pm
Anj
Fit1, Jax - the re 7/36 can be found by tacking the re on to an e5/14 meaning 'to give out'

My daughter sent me to this site knowing I'd be immediately addicted. The teacher in my won't let me use a dictionary, word list, etc. Just seems like cheating! What's a high score without using these cheatsheets? I do think the hints are great!
4:18 pm

You're a man after my own heart Munner - using dictionaries and other cribs is hardly cricket - a bit like athletes who use performance enhancing drugs.

Sorry Serena I had left for the evening but have seen your post. i had reposted someone elses stats, the i9 indicates how many 'i' words there are in this puzzle, nine, so yes there is an i4 and i6 but there are also 7 more words to find
5:02 pm

Uneaixoise > at least 1 each St5 & st6 missing. Are you sure about those two sm/5's? My stat gen says 174 words which is two short, but it also says s=26 and sm5/1. The two differnce is on my T's at 32 instead of 34. There might be 177 words here i think.

Although I guess that's what Jagger does. I only have two myself. It's amazing how hard it can be to find a 5 letter word when you have the first two.........
6:28 pm

it's the spoon one - but I can't think of anything to do with the rolling stones
6:28 pm
Uneaixoise
sorry--2 sm4's and 1 sm5
6:30 pm
Doogle
So there's an St5 that has to do with a spoon? The St4/4 is obvious, but I can't see any way of lengthening it. Am I blind?
6:32 pm
Doogle
The 3rd St6 is an 18-pointer meaning to vex or annoy, present tense of an S5/10.
6:34 pm
Doogle
Does anyone have a clue to the 2nd T7?? I've got the Tr7/36 meaning to cut into thirds (I assume), but I can't find the other for the life of me.
6:35 pm
brandyjack
anyone who can do these without a dictionary is dangerous. I can handle the olde english, the latin and the french. But words like that are by guess and by golly......

Brandyjack, some people have a really knack for finding needles in the haystack and seeing things stand apart from the rest. Not everyone who starts this will attain that skill immediately. Because most of these words are pretty basic. Just enjoy and learn.

St5/10 - vex, annoy
Any hints or clues on the last one?

The other i/7 is related to the i/7 and i/8 (based off the i/5) that you probably have.
9:03 pm
Babbler

doogle, re5/10
9:32 pm
Doogle
Okay, found another R5/10. There's no definition I can find anywhere (though there are a couple of Dutch ships bearing this name, but it is an anagram of a t5/10 in this grid.
This leaves me now with:
re5/10
re5/18
re5/12
re5/18
re5/14
ri5/16
ri5/14
I'm pretty sure there's one more r5. Any hints in the right direction greatly appreciated!
9:33 pm
Doogle
Oh. Is that the one you meant, Brandyjack?
9:36 pm
brandyjack
can't find a def for re5/10, but it appears to be simultaneously a german name (people and sports clubs bear it) and it appers in an olde english william burns poem/ode to a horse.
9:36 pm
Doogle
Is there anyone out there who's completed the Rs and Ts? If so, can you tell me how many 4-letter words starting with each there are? I'm uttering many 4-letter words start more sibilantly in my quest for my last 4.
9:36 pm
brandyjack
doogle, thats the one and there are only 7 r5's.
9:39 pm
brandyjack
doogle 7 r4's, minimum 13 t4's, possibly a 14th. my stat gen only showed 32 T's so there are two i don't know about. one of which appears to be a T7, so i don't know what the missing T is.
9:42 pm
Doogle
Huh. Well, I've already got 10 r4s and believe there to be an 11th, and yes, 13 t4s.
9:42 pm
brandyjack
doogle, have you got 2 T7's? my stat gen agrees with the one posted that there are a total of 7, seven letter words, but mine says only one T7. Which is the angle divided by 3 thingy.
9:42 pm
sfneil
there's an re5 that means 'to balk', it's spelled like the re4 'eurasion sandpiper' with an extra letter
9:43 pm
brandyjack
sorry, must have gotten confuzzed there. 11 R4's total, not 7.
9:44 pm
sfneil
that would be re5/10 and re4/4, respectively

10:05 pm

No prob, SFNeil. I've already stamped out the T6s. It's the T5s that I hates.

Doogie, you're missing at least one ti5/10, and can you tell me anything about the ty5/16?

10:13 pm
Doogle
sfneil - you're missing an mi5
10:14 pm
sfneil
a blessing on you, Doogie!
I'm betting the ti5 I've got you don't is an alternate spelling for the strength of a chemical solution
10:16 pm
Doogle
sfneil - Nah, I had the tough one. I was missing the very obvious one that rhymes with the one you were missing.
I now have one (*&^?! t5 to go before I finished this blasted puzzle and can go eat my chocolate gelato.
10:18 pm

Wow! I feel as dumb as you do!
Thanks again... down to two s's and two t's... arrgh
10:24 pm

sfneil - Sounds like one of your missings is "my" t5. Since I simply can't see it, and I'm down to typing in combinations beginning with tch.. , I'm going to go have my dessert now.

Oh, btw - it's doogLe w/ an L please. :|

I assume so. But I honestly don't know how to tell (I'm still quite a newbie).
10:34 pm

Oh and thanks for 's' advice! I'm off to hunt them down...
10:39 pm

nailed both s'es!! Thanks a million, doogle!
10:46 pm

No prob, sfneil.
The way I track letter #s is just by crossing them off of a printout of the stats. That's how I know that T5 is my nemesis. So, I've got:

ti5/14 x2
ti5/12
ti5/10 x2
tr5/12
tr5/10
tr5/14

it's what the bishop is after he's been given the hat!
10:55 pm

on a closer look, doogle, looks like we might have all the same t5s... i'm getting addlepated over here!

sfneil - congrats! So, it's a ty5?
11:07 pm
sfneil
Doogle, it is indeed! it's a ty5/16, as you suspected all along. No 'c', though. It's the title of a Melville novel without the 'p'.

Oh and with an extra letter at the end.

Dude you have to let me know when you get it. You've just got to get it! I'll be checking!
You were so much help to me! Thanks!

Fish caught! Nasty little bugger! If I ever get a chance to eat one of these suckers I'm gonna go for it!
Thanks, sfneil! See you tomorrow.

syncopate
thanks sfneil - any help with the si4 that's not what you call a king and the si5 that's not its past tense?
11:22 pm
Doogle
syncopate - Si4/7 is a trig function, and the Si5 is informally used for emphasis after 'yes' or 'no'.

syncopate, hard one to give a clue for without actually spelling it out... the definition is a "hyperbolic function of an angle".
It sounds like what priests don't like it when you do, with a sneaky silent letter on the end.
Hope that helps... I'm outta here now, having spent way too much time trying to find a fish!

When the puzzle is done, and you review the previous day's stats, where do you find the list of all words?

Go to archives to choose which days puzzle you want, then click on a players name. You will get their list for that puzzle.

Nicole1995
but how will I find all the words I missed? By clicking on someone's name who got them all, maybe?
11:41 pm
sfneil
Nicole, that's right. I've only been here a few days (and lord knows how much of my life I'll spend here!), but every day I've been here there have been people who have completely solved the puzzle. If you click on their names in the results, you'll get the full list of words.
