3:59 am

The A11 is related to the A8/60-9/78 combo and means someone specialised in those.
4:00 am

Think of sound.
4:01 am
absolute annie
Thanx sprite, I will fret over that one later, lol
4:04 am

Still bouncing on my chair from pure fun and proud ;)
I looked up the word and found that it refers to a physicist, rather than a musician as I was thinking. But still, sound is the key.

But... there's *another* a8/60 and a9/78 :)
4:12 am

Yes, I found them. Too bad they don't have a companion like the A11 though!
4:18 am
sprite
Has the C8/60 been mentioned yet? Plural of C6/30, nice spring flower.
4:27 am
sprite
A couple of very unpleasant words, all related, some already mentioned: N7/36, N8/50, N9/72, N8/50, N8/60.
4:29 am
elmer
got the a11/120,a9/78, and a8/60
Thanks sprite :) !!!!
4:34 am

Doogle, with no clit and no taste for that A4/4, there's nothing to it than becoming an O7/28 and occupy ourselves with O9/66 behaviour. ;)
Real shame there is no plural to that last one.
4:35 am
sprite
You're welcome, elmer :)
Fun finding, isn't it?
4:39 am

Sprite - indeed. Too bad there's also no 012 practioner of said, um, practice.
Right. It's 5:39 a.m. I really must sleep.

Good morning. Found the n/9=78. More hints PLEASE............
4:42 am
sprite
There is another couple of related N-words, also not too pleasant, but at least this sleep is temporary, as opposed to the deadly nature of the other N-couple. Some are already mentioned, I'll list them in order.
N5/14, N6/24, N7/36, N8/50, N8/50, N9/78.
I think there are no more possibilities with this word, but I'd love to hear if someone finds more!

Good question, Lola100! Point them to another pc and get them addicted too?
Those last words are real b*tches, as usual. And probably most of them are forgotten plurals or words I was certain I had already entered.
5:58 am

Allright, found one: there is an N4/6 that comes at the beginning of those sleep-related N's. *hits herself on the head*

Are the unpleasent N words unusual, or in common use....they're driving me mad

Technium, thanks for the S6 clue! Was one of my missing ones, and if it is the one you meant, the definition is "Hindu banker". Found it on infoplease.com. :)
7:49 am

And jamest: the non-sleepy N-biggies are related to 'death of cells or tissues through injury or disease'.

Another word that I did not know until now: S8/50 - an amateur who engages in an activity without serious intentions and who pretends to have knowledge. Would I fit that description babbling, seeing how I cannot even calculate my missing words correctly?

As a high level competitive Scrabble player, I find this game great fun, but don't care for the open-ended time allowed for completion. Clearly those who do best at this are using aids--what fun is that? It would be fun to do this competitively with a time limit of say 30 minutes per round, and no use of aids.

Ben, IMO just because I use help and hints, does not mean I am not having fun. I am competing against myself, not others.

I think dried cranberries are just dried cranberries and "craisen" is a brand name. I have a bag of dried cranberries in my desk and I looked to make sure. : (

a 9/78 is the plural of the a8/60

Belated good to see you too, Baggo. I was so manically typing for a time there, I hadn't scrolled after my first post. Got the A11 right away. Still dreading the Q's. However, did get the q865. Don't know what the hell it means, but I got it!
2:44 pm
caro
I must be having one of my dizzy days cos I just can't see it !!!
2:46 pm
Judi
Oh, this is going from bad to worse. I just looked at the stats and realized there's 72 U's. Bloody hell.
2:47 pm
bridget
got it caro?
2:47 pm
Denny
caro try this - another name for some one who plays music is a m*******. the a11 is kind of like that if you use the other two words a8 or a9.
2:47 pm
Denny
How may u's? blimey I'll never get this done by Silent Witness!!
2:48 pm
Lottie
Hi I'm new here could somone give me a rough idea how many words I'm looking for please. Thanks.
2:48 pm

Judi, that is the letter count. Only 6 words start with U, but the U is used 72 times. GUess I shouldn't post that confusing stuff.
2:48 pm
caro
Thanks Denny ---- at last the penny drops !!!
2:49 pm
boreetos
u is used 72 times, but only 6 start with u.
2:49 pm
Denny
Hi Lottie uhm that will be a lot! 312 I think. If you jump down to the bottom and scroll up the stats are there
2:49 pm
Judi
Thanks, brandyjack. 72 Us did seem ...unlikely.
2:50 pm
baggo
judi, look at the repost...only 6 u's they put the point totals...
2:50 pm
pmbuko
It'll come to you... probably while listening to some music that was recorded in a studio suite, the components (particularly the ceiling and wall materials) of which were probably chosen by a person whose job title is the word you're looking for.
2:50 pm
Denny
phew thank god for that - i broke out into a hot sweat! didn't think there were that many words in the english language beginning with u!!!
2:50 pm
Kallia
boreetos...I am thick!! cant see it
Judi 72 u's????? Hope not!
2:51 pm
baggo

3:04 pm
jaelithe
BTW the two g words are totally awesome onomatopoeia.
3:24 pm
baggo
hopefully these will help...i've only listed ones that i don't think we have mentioned...
c7/36,c8/50,c9/72 to engage in boisterous drunken merry making
a8/45 to excite
c744/c8/60 molding at the top of walls between the walla and ceiling
c6/30/c8/60 spring flowers
sprite listed all the n's earlier...they deal with drugs and death and sleeping...
n8/55 observing
o9/66 coitus interruptus (masturbation)
3:34 pm
jaelithe
Thanks much baggo. Now that I'm a SAHM it's been far too long since I've done any c9/72 myself and I forgot all about it! It was staring me right in the face LOL
3:34 pm

harv
brandyjack, i have 2 se4/4. what's the points on your other se4?
4:44 pm
chloe
how do i play?
4:49 pm
swmbo
chloe, look for words among the letters that touch. You can go in any direction but the lettters have to touch and you can't sue the same letter more than once in one word. If you submit a non-word, or won you have already submitted, Babble will tell you. Otherwise, your words and their value will begin listing to the right of the grid. have FUN!!!
4:49 pm
swmbo
you can't USE the same letter etc...

5:24 pm
AmyE

AmyE
No, thank you though. There are many clues below I haven't looked at yet. I like to get them on my own. But I'm getting stumped now. Perhaps after I have a full tummy I'll be revitalized. Did you find the 60 pointer?
5:44 pm

5:51 pm
swmbo
Well, I wasn't suggesting it was small LOL, just wondering. You know, these little questions that sometimes just flit through your head, a small urge to add to your store of trivia...
5:52 pm
Moozey

5:53 pm
AmyE

6:01 pm
swmbo

6:02 pm
AmyE
Wow, you guys are good. Now that my blood sugar is restored I'll see what I can do.
6:03 pm

6:05 pm
lianakate

6:06 pm
AmyE
Actually that woot was from Pete...he found a few new ones.
6:07 pm
swmbo
Did I hallucinate? didn't someone ask for f clues?
6:09 pm
Christy6543
The F-words I found were all either FA or FR, 7 of the first and 2 of the second.
6:10 pm
lianakate
Oooooooooooh, SWM..ty, i found the f's..i am just tired out today..blood sugar waaaaay off...am going for a wee walk..and done..(thanks, buddy..i appreciate your help!)
6:22 pm
AmyE
don't you hate it when every letter you need for a lovely long word is there but the very last one you need?
6:25 pm
AmyE
ooooh, a 78! A new personal best!
6:26 pm
swmbo
Yes. I also hate that there were two perfectly good, long words, one ending in 'ise' the other in 'ising' and both were rejected, presumably because they used 's' instead of 'z' OTOH, tweo of the u's ended with 'ise' and 'ises' G figger.
6:27 pm
swmbo
whoohooo! A good one!
6:29 pm
swmbo
I think I'm done. I have some stuff to do before bed. Maybe I'll be back for one last kick at the can, maybe not.

Wow, this is truly humbling! I've always considered myself to be a bit of a word ho, but going back over the results of yesterdays puzzle... I had to look up every third word!! I guess, looking on the bright side, my word ho side will be fed new fodder! Fun stuff. :-)
7:18 pm
Anj
It's scary - i'm learning all these new words, but forgetting all the important ones...like food, sleep lol

Summergirl, go to yesterday's puzzle and click the name of anyone who completed it (those at the top). It will bring up a list of their words.
10:12 pm
fifigirl
must be the only person not able to find the ac11!
10:22 pm
Summergirl
Thanks so much.....
10:46 pm

fifigirl, if you have ac8 and ac9 you should be able to get ac11. Think great music halls or canyons
10:51 pm

This is my second puzzle which means I'm not posted on the rankings...But I have 80 words - 1030 points. BOOYAH!!
10:53 pm

Adam, you'll be in the ratings tomorrow, Good Job !!!
11:03 pm
sfneil
fifigirl - it's what you call a professional in the field of the other long ac's... akin to what you call someone who's a professional at music, or physical health
11:31 pm
cat2
I couldn't stay away. lol If I understand the process, since this is my 3rd game, I'll be in the rankings tomorrow?
