Good morning everyone. From one extreme to the other - only 41 words on Monday. Unlikely that I'll have time to finish today!
3:03 am
Chessy

morning all. no way is this getting finished today - so many words, so little time...!
3:03 am
CJ25

433 Words, may as well give up now :-)
On your marks...
3:04 am
Chessy

..and hard to ask for clues "it's a p word, but not one of these other 60 I'll just describe"!
3:07 am
CJ25

doesnt accept arsy or arsey! Tsk tsk :-)
3:08 am
CJ25

chessy very true. but will there be a chance to ask when there are so many to find?
3:08 am
Chessy

perhaps it's cleaned up its language - there've been some pretty dodgy words recently!
3:12 am
Rhiannon

Hi Jera - thanks! hope your daughter keeps up the fencing, its definitely worth it.
3:19 am
Jera

Good morning, Rhiannon... did you see where I replied to you yesterday?
3:27 am
Rhiannon

I did - i gave up early yesterday! thanks for the compliment. glad to hear your daughter loves fencing - it can become an addiction!
3:30 am
Jera

So far it's only been a camp-like/worshop atmosphere. I told her if she's serious & does all the intor stuff, I'll buy her equipment. It's a bit pricey!
3:31 am
Jera

Right now she rents from the academy, but we bought her gloves.
3:45 am
Yoink

Is this the most available words ever? It's the most since I've been playing but that isn't all that long.
4:00 am
Jera

Well, I'm going back to bed for a few hours until the baby gets up. Only 300 more to go!
4:10 am
Rhiannon

Hi Jera - it is expensive but a lot of the equipment lasts for ages if you take care of it. recommend getting her own mask as club ones can be a bit gross (in my club anyway) and you can get a better fit.
4:45 am
annevans

I am very new to this game - and addicted already - but am I missing something ? - how does everybody KNOW how many words to look for ?

2:39 pm
boreetos

nah birds not enough. I'm really dense. I think I've got the general idea but the wierd spelling combos I've trid have not been it.
2:40 pm
Bugzy

Uneaixoise: I've got 2 pa9/66's (but still not the bird one... I've tried every weird spelling I could think of!)
2:40 pm
begrery

there are three p9's, i found the third. they are all plural:
pa9/90
pa9/66 x 2
2:40 pm
torgone

pa9/80 Bash together bits of the alternate spellings.
2:41 pm
Uneaixoise

it looks like an ESL spelling of a very common housepet bird, usually in the green/yellow family
2:42 pm
Denny

3 syllables. 1st syllable is a golfing term ie 2 under.... 2nd syllable is the sound you will make when you see it! 3rd syllable sounds like a famous poet who wrote an ode to a nightingale
2:43 pm
Denny

oops! 3rd syllable with the a!
2:44 pm
boreetos

thanks guys. thanks denny. I really am thick sometimes. But the spelling out of it helps. :) good times, and with that I go back to work.
2:44 pm

denny -- excellent clues!
2:45 pm
LadySmilerofbabb

Is anyone else finding that the beta version of Babble is sooooo slow tonight? I've just gone back to the old version and it's much faster.
2:46 pm
Babbler

any clues for the other p9/66? I've got the one to do with kids feet....
2:47 pm
Uneaixoise

that's what all the bird stuff has been about
2:48 pm
Denny

Thanks Babbler! Lady Smiler, I've been having the same problem. keeps freezing etc. well will grace is on in a bit so i am goning to make myself a nice vodka and tonic and put my feet up. retiring with 175!
2:50 pm
green eyes

denny....lol...im still cant get it..
it means..i NEVER will..i golf! I know the 1st part..and the poet..but the middle has be baffled
2:50 pm
begrery

babbler, first 4 letters mean to separate (or something you can do to your hair), last five letters are if you make mistakes
2:50 pm
Babbler

the bird stuff is p/90. I've got that, and a p/66 (kids' feet). There's another p9/66 somewhere...... dunno where tho!
2:50 pm
LadySmilerofbabb

Cheers Denny...enjoy...and don't forget the ice and a slice...lol
2:50 pm
Bugzy

Finally got that p9/90... What a funky spelling! The 2nd syllable was what threw me. And the fact that the 3rd syllable doesn't have a long "E" spelling.
Babbler: The other p9/66 is the plural of an ornamental flower garden having the beds and paths arranged to form a pattern
2:51 pm
begrery

it is a french word having to do with paths in a flower garden.
2:52 pm
Babbler

yayyyyyy!!!

thx guys! : D

3:00 pm
Uneaixoise

3:00 pm
Tempus

There's something frustrating about knowing that there are more words that start with "R" than I usually find in an entire puzzle :)
3:01 pm
jamiekins

Uneaixoise - No trouble before, I just wasn't sure if there was something funky going on with the beta babble making my post only show up to me. :)

I haven't found any more 8s or 9s yet, but I do know that the missing ones start with A, P, R, S, or T. I've finished the other letters.

Don't cry, Anj. It's 'only' a game. (Sound of gnashing teeth in the background.)

It won't accept 'presley'! LOL. Wonder what 'the king' would have to say about that? My other half's surname is in here too and his initials. He was a little peeved not to be 'valid'. LOL.

Oh, and if you can 'kart', why can't you be a 'karter'?

I'm so tired I can't even spell or type now! I really should go but I've only got 299 words and I swore to myself I wouldn't leave before 300. LOL.
7:33 pm
Jacula

munner - that word means 'prepared for auction or a loan of money'. It's an obsolete word.

Can't say I've ever been so glad of learning Latin (apart from understanding gardening and medical terms) as I am now for these ruddy puzzle grids!
7:36 pm
Munner

Thanks, Jacula. Playing Babble is a humbling experience for this former English teacher :(
7:38 pm
Jo

I've used pr 4/6 to describe a bodypart ... but, then I'm a former fitness trainer ;-)
7:38 pm
Jacula

Munner - it's a humbling experience for one who was 'destined' to become an English teacher (but didn't as she had other fish to fry) and who has been a writer since childhood.
7:42 pm
Jacula

Munner - if you're still there (here?). I think the great thing about the English language is what a 'mongrel' it is; how it grows and changes. It's very easy to be pedantic about spellings and punctuation, but what a great language it is in that it embraces words from so many languages, and continues to do so.
7:44 pm
Jacula

I've got my 300 words I promised myself now (5230 points) and so I'm off to check out my forums. I'll be back in here for a quick look before zzzzzing.
7:47 pm
Munner

Absolutely! I taught ESOL the last 7 years of my career. I always told my students that English was such a crazy language because so many rules don't fit.
8:05 pm
Jacula

An English Test
We’ll begin with box, the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of mouse is never meese.
You may find a lone mouse, or a whole nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always men,
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be pen?
The cow in the plural may be called cows or kine,
But a bow if repeated is never called bine;
And the plural of vow is vows, not vine.
If I speak of a foot and you show me two feet,
And I give you a boot would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teth,
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth?
If the singular’s this and the plural these,
Should the plural of kiss ever be written keese?
We speak of a brother, and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
The masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim!
So the English, I think you will all agree,
Is the funniest language you ever did see.

8:28 pm
Uneaixoise

i think the person who gave the long john silver clue was referring to the type of bird, not the name :)
8:32 pm
Anj

Captain Flint...think 'squawk!' but you want to downsize yer bird. The spelling is different...one more consonant, and one less vowel than you would expect...

thanks guys they shot my score up 409 for 7274 don't know if I do any more too tired

Oh blimey Anj, you still in here? Where in the world are you? (Geographically, I mean.)

As for the clue, ferrari (not long to that wedding now!) - think parakeet but double your 'r's', put an 'o' where you think an 'a' should be and take out an 'e'.
8:41 pm
Jacula

409 words, Ferrari? I wouldn't have given you the clue if I'd known you were so far ahead! Bloomin' 'eck! xx

Normally that's a good score, but on today's grid it's just under 33%. This is the biggest word count i've seen

That's certainly not measly. Anything 300+ on this grid is resoectable. I'm just finding i've run out of combos...or at least my brain has hahaha.

Brandyjack - just been off into my forums and come back here before signing off for the night/morning. It's a late one even for me. I saw you talking about a program that solves the puzzle? I can understand the stats thing, which we all appreciate to see what we are working towards. But, if it gives you all the answers, how could you possibly enjoy being on site? I do wish I could talk to you off site, but still have no way of knowing on here how to give e-mail addys privately. I mean you can't even post it and then delete!
11:03 pm

how about this..
..........do to something over and over again....
.........you re**** it....that help?
11:04 pm
Uneaixoise

oh, sorry!
11:07 pm
brandyjack

i use someone elses program to solve the puzzle. It produces a list of words in lines of 10 on the screen. I cut and past this into notepad, save it to disk then sic my program(s) on it. They produce the lists. Believe it or not, I only see 1 or two words on the list. You wouldn't believe how bad my memory is. Tell me 1 thing, i can remember it. Tell me two, i might remember one. Tell me three, I won't even remember my name....
11:09 pm

don't kill me but i don't know what i was thinking--i don't have a third r7/36--going blind with the huge puzzle i guess--so sorry

DarleenMB

Jacula, now seems a good time for me to bring this up. There is so much chitchat on this log it makes it nearly impossible to find clues and hints etc. Is ANYone else up for creating a forum (a free one of course) where all the nattering can take place?
11:11 pm

Uneaixoise - it's repeaters!
11:12 pm
brandyjack

As for wordfinders, I use them. Then I google the results to find out what the silly thing is. I am not in any contest to finish the puzzles. That's not the point. I mean, a greek girdle from Roman times? Give me a break. I am not going to know that ( I do know though). The whole point is the words. Finding them, by whatever means (except direct lookup of course). It's the pursuit that counts. Do you have any idea how many 8 letter words start with 'aa'? There are 99. How many 10 letters? 123.... Try picking out the one that fits........
11:15 pm
Uneaixoise

already have that--
11:15 pm
Jacula

Darleen - it should be possible to chat elsewhere, I know, but I don't think the chit-chat in here produces too many problems (though having said that, I am on an ultra fast b/b connection). Anything lesser could be very slow and clunky.
11:17 pm
brandyjack

DarleenMB. Good idea. With 1600 players, I'm surprised at the lack of chatter. Most of what is there is in fact from about 40 of us only. One advantage to this one though, it gets segregated and cleaned daily....

Daria

Yep, Hugabugs this one was a doozy!
11:24 pm
Doogle

My 2 cents is that I don't mind the chat at all, but that "hints" that all but spell out the word are a drag. If I ask for a hint, I don't mind getting a veiled clue, pun, or something that makes me think, but some of the hints lately have basically told you all but, say, the third letter, what it rhymes, with, what it means, etc. I prefer foraging to being spoon-fed.

But then again, there are now a great number of people playing this game, and there are a great many different goals and ways of getting there.

All-in-all, I guess I'd prefer to keep the chat on-site. I don't want to have to toggle between different sites just to play the puzzle.

11:25 pm
Jacula

Talking of chit-chat. How do you do yours? I click onto the site. I see the day's grid and pen it off onto a handy gride my other half made for me on paper. Then I sign in and look for BrandyJack's daily stats of word count and how many words for each letter.I then go away with a cup of tea and some biscuits to see what words I can find. Ater I've run out of ideas, I consult the dictionaries and thesauri on my bookshelves. Also, since the written babblegrid is on the table, it tends to attract people like a jigsaw in the making and so they all chip in. After that, I look for clues in the daily log, and also have fun reading it, and replying. In the course of that, I either romp home or not! The chat's as good to me as is getting the home total.

11:29 pm
Jacula

Doogle - I'm sorry if you hvae found some of my clues too easy. Amd, yes, I did just give a word away just before we posted to each other! But does it really matteron a puzzle this size or really at all in the whole scheme of life?
11:31 pm
Jacula

Anj - are you still climbing for that 433?
11:33 pm
brandyjack

a agree, clues that are too easy are annoying. it's bad enough having the two letter list to work with. It's amazing how eay it is to find the huge words if you know the first two letters. It's also amazing how difficult it can be to find a 4 letter word when you know the first two. Like the Ae4/4 in tonights puzzle. I never saw it, just typed it.Then I had to find it. Even knowing it's there it's almost impossible to see.

Never said that. Or implied it. I posted mine some time after you posted yours. I was just late doing it is all. I ad solved all 41 quite sometime earlier and I sort of make it a policy not to post the breakdown before 18:00. Some get upset by it's presence. Some get downright ugly about it. So I compromise. What Doogle was talking about and that I agree with are the clues like mov4/6. Only need the last letter on that one. Wih the first two letters, can still be difficult to find them Especially since many of the smaller ones are foreign langages. Like the aa4/4 'aals' in tonight puzzle. I cannot even find a definition for it. The 9 letter types follow rules and tend to be 100% english words.
