12:01 am

Babbler

12:02 am

Dianne

Sill here.

12:03 am

Blaze

I have put in to f words and they are not showing but says I have already used that word. What am I to do??

12:04 am

louigi

t8/65

12:04 am

Babbler

my good news isnt' so palatable...... I have fibromyalgia and can't work. I have regular assessments by the government. Today, they said they don't need to assess me for another 3 years! I'm so pleased. They assess me every year and it's not nice.

12:05 am

Blaze

That is great news.... fibromyagia is a real pain. I have bouts of it now but am sure that it will never really go away.

12:05 am

Babbler

blaze - you got it too? I have hypermobility aswell. double whammy!

12:06 am

Dianne

Babbler - here's to the next 3 assessment free years :)

12:06 am

Blaze

good thing you can have some peace and quiet and get on with your every day life. that is what is most important

12:07 am

smithchick

Blaze, hit refresh, and your words will show

12:08 am

Babbler

Dianne, Blaze -- I can't express how much of a relief it is!!!
: D xxxxxxxxx

12:08 am

Blaze

thank you I am all refreshed now

12:08 am

sprite

Morning babblers... I missed the game!

12:11 am

Babbler

hey sprite!

12:12 am

sprite

Good news, babbler! Congrats.
Is the beta slow for you all too?

12:12 am

Blaze

its not slow for me

12:13 am

louigi

w7/52

12:13 am

sprite

Better do a reboot then - back soon!

12:14 am

Babbler

you people getting big words this quickly!!! : ))))
thx sprite!
beta not too bad at the minute. but if it goes loopy loo, I'll switch to normal........

12:17 am

Clamwacker

I can't seem to find anything BUT w-words since I started. I'm confused about this w7/52 though :)

12:21 am

Clamwacker

Ah, found it! Can't say I've heard that word before, though. :)

12:22 am

kolding

how about a little clue then?

12:24 am

Clamwacker

Hmm... Its the plural form of a long, flexible twig. Hope I didn't give away too much. :)

12:25 am

Loma

ooh! i got the 7/52!

12:26 am

Babbler

I haven't!! ....................

12:29 am

Clamwacker

Ok... There's a Native American intramural basketball team called the "Fighting _______", the w7/52 word is an easy anagram of the blank. :)

12:29 am

Loma

it also means wiry and agile

12:30 am

Dianne

T8 65

12:31 am

Babbler

clamwacker... pwrrrrrrffff, if you're american!! I'm british! and I don't even know about football! and I'm a girrrrrrl!! oh dear.......... boo hoooo

12:32 am

Clamwacker

Completely stumped on the t8/65 Louigi mentioned, tho.

12:33 am

sprite

G7/32, S8/60, S9/78!
Find the right ending and you have them all.

12:34 am

Clamwacker

Babbler, I said basketball. :)

How did you know I'm American tho? :)

12:37 am

Babbler

Clamwacker -- we don't play basketball in the UK.... and the only country I know that does is the US.

anyway -- basketball, football, it's all the same!!! guys disappear in their zone and that's the last you see of them......

12:37 am

Clamwacker

Hmm.. I thought our "Dream Team" got spanked by some other country during the last Olympics? Somebody else must be playing basketball. :)

12:38 am

sprite

W7/48 I have... where is that 52 hiding then!

12:38 am

Babbler

I'm clueless!!! I missed the Olympics!!! I was probably watching Big Brother........ : )

12:38 am

Doogle

Got 'em Sprite - good spot!

12:39 am

Dr_God

Fellow Babblers,

I've made a couple more changes to the site. Most notably is the addition of a "dev log" that describes the latest changes (and what I'm currently working on.)

I'll update the dev log from now on whenever I make changes to the site.

You can view the dev log by clicking the link at the bottom of the right sidebar.

12:40 am

Dianne

The G7/32 I see but the S8 & S9 are hiding.

12:41 am

sprite

Thanks, Dr_God, it is coming along wonderfully!

12:43 am

sprite

B7/48 - 8/65 combo from India

12:43 am

Dr_God

Forgot to mention that only Beta Babblers will see the changes, and you have to reload your browser page to see the changes.

12:44 am

sprite

Guess the beta is a little slow because you are working on it, Dr_God. Love the changes!

12:44 am

Clamwacker

Dianne, they're very close to the G7, and use the same ending, like Sprite said.

12:48 am

Clamwacker

I never would've guessed the B7/8 without that mention of India.

12:51 am

smithchick

Got 110 words, and I'm about ready for a list of how many I'm searching for. Hey Debs, if you're there...:)

12:51 am

sprite

I am in dire need for stats, so here they are:

9 x 1
8 x 3
7 x 6
6 x 19
5 x 50
4 x 90

--- 169 words ---

B -- 4
D -- 10
E -- 11
F -- 6
G -- 12
H -- 21
i -- 4
L -- 2
N -- 1
S -- 42
T -- 24
U -- 2
W -- 30

12:52 am

sprite

GMTA, smithchick ;)

12:53 am

Dianne

Sprite & Clamwacker - got the S8 & S9 when I looked in the right palce. Thanks.

12:53 am

smithchick

Thanks, Sprite! It appears I don't speak computer lingo...What does GMTA mean? I need educated.

12:55 am

sprite

Lol... Great Minds Think Alike, like ours ;)
Must be telepathy.

12:55 am

smithchick

Apparently, your great mind thinks better than mine!

12:56 am

Clamwacker

35 words/672 points so far. My problem is that I never look for the shorter words once I get searching for the big ones that other people mention. You guys who have over a hundred words in an hour are CRAZY. :)

12:59 am

sprite

Nah, just made stats, haven't finished yet! Just found one of those irritating small words I always hunt for for ages... H4/7 does me in as a foreigner every time.

1:04 am

Clamwacker

Ok before I go... does it tell you when you've found every word in the puzzle? I haven't done that one yet :)

1:06 am

Babbler

clamwacker -- no, it doesn't tell you anything!!! proper anti-climax! xxxx

1:06 am

sprite

Nope, not yet, could be an idea for Dr_God!
But the stats are quite accurate, I believe only the Q can create problems. So find 169 words and you will finish this grid!

1:12 am

Clamwacker

I think the "Q" should become "Qu", unless there will be Arabic interpretations of words (or other languages that use Q without U following it).

The B7/8 words you mentioned earlier aren't in dictionary.com or m-w.com as they are spelled. However, I found an alternative spelling (the "ie" becomes "ee", and also just "i" for a 6-letter variation, to avoid giving too much away) on dictionary.com.

1:14 am

sprite

Guess that is where it comes in handy to be no native speaker. I usually try every combination that looks remotely like it could be a word, or like it could be something I have seen before here. Looked it up and you are right, spelling seems to be off.

1:14 am

Clamwacker

I forgot to add, none of the variations I mentioned actually work here. They're just different interpretations of Indian words, sort of like how you see different Middle Eastern cities spelled differently depending on where you read them. Nasiriya in Iraq has been spelled as "al-Nasiriyaa", "Nasiriah," "Nasiriyah," etc.

Ok, gotta go for now :)

1:16 am

Blaze

the b7/8 words are in my scrabble dictionary

1:16 am

Doogle

Hey Sprite - willing to drop any hints on that W7/48? It's quickly becoming my nemesis!

1:17 am

sprite

I think you can spell this combo almost anyway you please, too bad only one way works here!

1:17 am

sprite

Do you have the T7-8 combo? It's very close to that!

1:19 am

Dianne

Doogle - I'll trade you a hint - for one for the W7/52.

1:19 am

Doogle

Drat - no! My nemeses are multiplying... Okay, I'll go hunting. :(

1:20 am

sprite

For those Ts, think of what you could be doing with your thumbs in stead of babbling :)

1:21 am

Doogle

Dianne - it's a kinda cutesy sounding completion of a common W4 found here...

1:23 am

sprite

W7/52: long flexible twigs, as those of an osier, or
trees or shrubs having such twigs.

1:23 am

Doogle

Thanks, Sprite! Was somehow avoiding going into that corner.

1:25 am

sprite

There are many delightful endings in that corner... you'll love it there! ;)
169 words / 4.73 / 2361 points it is and I'd better go do something useful now. Good hunting to all of you!

1:27 am

Doogle

g4/8 x2!

1:27 am

smithchick

Bye Sprite, I should be getting out of here, too, but knowing me, I'll be limping through another day with no sleep again. At least it's Saturday Tomorrow (tonight).

1:27 am

Doogle

Congrats, Sprite! How was your retreat?

1:30 am

Jera

Any hints/definitions for the b7 & b/8 my last long ones

1:30 am

Clamwacker

Sure. He just got 2361 points in 87 minutes, and now he's pretending that he's human, instead of a robot dictionary monster planning to conquer the Earth. :)

1:31 am

Blaze

the hint was earlier word starts bh and then the plural

1:35 am

Doogle

Not only that, but English isn't even her first language. Humbling, ain't it!

Practice, practice, practice!

1:35 am

Dianne

W7/52 - flexible twigs? I need some to beat myself with - I can't see this monster anywhere.

1:37 am

Doogle

Dianne - rhymes with what students attending a prominent all-women's college are called.

1:37 am

Babbler

is that a US all women's college?

1:38 am

Doogle

Yep, in New England.

1:39 am

Blaze

what is the name of that college. I am Canadian and do not know that one.

1:41 am

smithchick

Anyone done with their h's? I'm missing one.

1:50 am

Doogle

I'm only missing one also, smithchick. Damned if I can find another! I've got

He4 x4
He5 x2
Hi4 x6
Hi5 x2
Hi6 x1
Hu4 x4
Hu6 x1

1:54 am

smithchick

We're missing the same one doogle.

1:59 am

smithchick

Found it doogle. It's another hi4/7. Gotta love that a2zwordfinder!

2:04 am

Doogle

Got it, Smithchick. Nope, that sure wasn't one I'd thought of trying! Thanks!

2:12 am

Doogle

134 and must quit. Going buggy.

A good morning to those of you across the pond who must be getting started on our shared addiction soon!

2:16 am

Doogle

11 E words?? Grumble grumble grumble.

2:16 am

smithchick

I've gotta go, too. I'm literally falling asleep at my computer. Sad life. The good news is that tomorrow I'll only have to find 33. Yeehaw! (I am from Arkansas, you know) Bye Doogle!

2:18 am

Babbler

I just got my skirt off eBay!! And it's a perfect fit!! wooooo!
Oh, got 80 words. Gonna go and sleep now.
Nighty night! Or morning morning, should I say! (almost 8.20am, UK time)

2:18 am

Blaze

11 e words i can not find one

2:18 am

sprite

Was away from the pc for a while, sorry! The retreat was great, Doogle, thanks.

LOL @ Clamwacker
This robot is going to conquer her home - been away 5 days and sure looks like another planet to me now! What's this thing with men and kids that they can rebuild an entire place in less than a week, but can't clear a room in a lifetime??

2:18 am

Babbler

I havent' found any Es, either........

2:19 am

Doogle

I've found a common e4/5 and related e5/12, 2 uncommon e4/5s, and can't even imagine what the remaining 7 might be.

2:21 am

sprite

Oh... glad I am not the only one who has trouble with that h4/7 :D
AND with the Es - they are there, and most aren't even too strange, but somehow vowel words always seem to be harder to me.

2:22 am

sprite

E4 x7, E5x3, E6

2:23 am

sprite

Sorry about that... guess my finger trembled when clicking the mouse... didn't mean to repeat myself.

2:43 am

tbear

Morning Babblers.....Morning Dr.God...here goes...

Serious question here, I know there are wordfinders and dictionaries out there, but it is cheating to use them? I'd rather go for what I know then "cheat"

Bobsta - el4-5

10:10 am

lola100

Anj- how about one of your "special" clues for my w7/52, google is refusing to talk to me anymore!!!!!

10:11 am

sherb

chuck - it's a game of two halves. I start by doing as much as I can without any help, then I take any help I can get :)

10:12 am

Bobsta

tyvm lola and pegsin got it now. right, on to the w's!!!

10:12 am

Bobsta, it's an EL4/5, a time in life at which some particular qualification or power arises

10:18 am

Lola, it means wiry tough or agile. Alternatively (..ahem!)
(In the company of) (that is to say [latin]) (plural letter)

10:22 am

lola100

Anj, you are a star xxxxxxxx ! I tried every combo BUT that one, ty ty ty ty!

11:12 am

smithchick

11:37 am

sandbox74

boys: the other 8 is a t8 which is what you might be doing with your thumbs while waiting for something like a jolt of inspiration *lol*

11:38 am

Boysaway

Thanks Sandbox, good clue!

11:39 am

sandbox74

jera bh7 & 8 sounds like the name of the band who had the hit "you gotta fight for your right to party"

11:39 am

lola100

Sorry boysaway, read your message wrong! The 3rd 8 is an s8. Like your s9 but missing a letter :)

11:40 am

Boysaway

Yes, got it, thanks

11:40 am

lola100

Nice clue sandbox!!! Sorry Jera, not the easiest words to invent clues for :)

11:42 am

Jera

Thank you so much sandbox... I'm cranky with this game sometimes (no idea why)

boysaway- sounds like the past tense of your hi4/8 :)

11:55 am

Boysaway

Thanks Daria, got it! One more?

11:57 am

melton

Sorry if it's already been asked four or five times today, but what's the two-letters-and-a-number code all about (bh7 for example)? Is the H the second letter, or the last letter, or am I way off?

11:57 am

lola100

boysaway- there are 3 x hi4/7 :)

11:57 am

Daria

hi4/7 boysaway :)

11:58 am

sandbox74

melton it's the second letter

11:58 am

lola100

Aargh! Make that a total of 5 x hi4/7!

11:59 am

Bash

Melton, you're heading in the right direction. bh 7/56 is a word that begins bh, has 7 letters, and is worth 56 points.

11:59 am

gumsmit

Surely 4x hi4/7 ?!

11:59 am

Anj

Elena, Melton, it's not too sinister ;)
ed4/5 just means that the word begins with e (or in this case ed..), has 4 letters and is worth 7 points
4 letter words get face value, 5 letter words double, 6 letter words treble etc. Help?

12:00 pm

Anj

Lola, missing one pesky T and i've got to scoot in 15 mins :'(

12:00 pm

tedybeth - Thanks I found the full list after scrolling down half way. Finally finished them off. Now hunting for some Es, Ds & 1 S (I think).

10:11 pm

tedybeth

your welcome, Dianne!! I'm still looking for that one Si 5 that is hiding from me!! The very last word and I do need to sleep sometime .... lol

10:15 pm

Jax

tedy - which si 5, maybe I can help.

10:16 pm

tedybeth

JAX -- as near as I can figure out - I need a Si 5/12 I have two of them - the one about stepping sideways; and the one about a tactic used in war

any help would be wonderful !!!

10:17 pm

Jacula

Ho tedybeth & Jax. I signed out hours ago full-scored. Can I help with any clues?

10:18 pm

Jax

I'm missing a wi 6/30, I have the one related to span. Ideas? suggestions. that and a w 5/24 and I'm done!

10:19 pm

Jax

Tedy - do you have the plural for the si 4/5?

10:20 pm

Doogle

Both w5/24s have but a single vowel.

10:21 pm

Jax

Ok, got the 5/24 now I need the 6/30. whoo hoo

10:21 pm

Doogle

Wi6/30 can be a synonym for the U4/4

10:22 pm

Jax

tdey - there is also a si 5/10, latin word, usually used in the singular in the sense of in si..

10:22 pm

tedybeth

Oh, JAX, -- THANK YOU -- of course it had to be somethhing that simple --that was it --- and I probably looked at it a dozen times and assumed I had typed it in ..... duh ... even with looking at my list over & over, -- I told you it was hiding from me!!! Thanks again ....

Now can sleep and hopefull not dream about letters in a grid!!

10:22 pm

Jacula

wi 6/30 is the plural of your wi5/18.

10:23 pm

Jax

I have that one doogle, isn't there another wi 6/30?

10:23 pm

Jacula

Anyone else need anything before I hit the sack?

10:24 pm

Jax

lol tedy - those are always the ones I miss too! Have a good sleep!

10:24 pm

Doogle

Yes, it's a past tense (I assume) of an undefined w4/7

10:26 pm

Jax

Ok, I have the wi 6/30 (synonym for u 4/4) and the wi 6/33. There is another wi 6, I think it is a 6/30. That is the one I am stuck on. Or isn't it another 6/30?

10:27 pm

Doogle

Jax - Yep, it's a Wi6/30 for sure. Just put your w4/7 in the past.

10:28 pm

Jacula

Doogle - yest, past tense, so add 'ed' to the word.

10:32 pm

Jax

well *****. I have 3 more words to go! I thought I was done. But I couldn't find that elusive w 4/7 so I guessed, so then got the w 6/30. Now what the heck do I need? Cra#@

10:33 pm

Jacula

Incidentally , re definitions, it's probably a German word.

10:34 pm

Doogle

Wistfully suggested, Jacula! ;)

10:36 pm

Dianne

Any help out there for the WI7/52 and the EL4 (not the old one)?

10:37 pm

Jacula

As far as I can ascertain it comes from the name of a famous German uni lecturer who was very knowledgeable. It's prob. a newish Germanic word meaning 'wise'.

10:37 pm

Doogle

Dianne - el4/7 - designed for use in grades 1-12.

10:39 pm

Doogle

Jacula - OSPD has it defined as "to wish"

10:39 pm

Jax

wi 52, long flexible twig. variation in the spelling.

Ok, NOW I'm done. Missed 3 e's, but got them. Phew!

10:40 pm

Jax

oh, and plural

10:42 pm

Jacula

Has it Doogle? That's interesting.

10:48 pm

Dianne

Jax - I've been looking for that long, flexible thing since yesterday afternoon with no luck. Got anything else to point me in the right direction?

10:56 pm

Jacula

Dianne - if you are not alone you are 'wi**' someone. Add a short form of the plural of 'in other words' to that and, hey presto, you've got it!

11:04 pm

Jacula

Twiddling my fingers here; want the new puzzle! LOL.

Never mind, got a great rock cd playing into my headphones.

11:05 pm

Gwen

I need a ge5 and ge6 that keep hiding from me

11:06 pm

Gwen

also looking for an e6

11:07 pm

Jacula

ge/5 actually means a dry place but you might be more familiar with the 'ge' label on bananas?

11:12 pm

Jacula

ge6 is actually the plural of a prose of verse romance or tale. However, I could just say that if you had people staying with you for the weekend they would be 'Gu**ts'. The word you seek doesn't use you and, eeh, it uses another vowel twixt last letter singular and last letter plural.

11:14 pm

Jacula

Your e6/21 is a plural (see previous clue about plurals) for one of your e4's.

11:15 pm

Dianne

Jacula - thank you - I was going to the wrong H for that W7 word. Your help was great.

11:15 pm

Jacula

Actually, thinking about it, it's a past tense not a plural.

11:17 pm

Jacula

Dianne - glad to help.

11:17 pm

Dianne

Any clues for the EL that doesn't have to do with old?

11:17 pm

Gwen

Whew! Jacula, that was a LONG way around but I got the ge5 & 6. Thank you!

11:19 pm

Jacula

That's okay Gwen. Everyone sorted now until next babblegrid (like the jabberwock) hits us?

11:23 pm

Jacula

Dianne - Sorry! Meant to reply to you. The meaning is:'Of, relating to, involving, or designed for use in grades 1 to 12' but that's not very helpful, is it?
To be honest, it sounds more to me like something from Lord of the Rings!

11:24 pm

Jacula

Erm, how can I lead you there? Hoping you do crosswords, I will try ' A Spanish top ranker'.

11:25 pm

Jacula

I know you'll get the first par, 'el'. Now just drop 2 letters off the second part you are trying.

11:26 pm

Dianne

Jacula - I fould the EL - thanks. Now I just need to S words to finish. I think it is a SI5 and a SE5 going by the list posted a while ago. Any really odd ones? Or the very, very obvious that I might be over looking?

I've got the grabbing words, the next to you words and the seeing word but..

11:29 pm

sandbox74

Dianne how about the position of a body part si5?

11:30 pm

Jacula

Your si5 might be what a number of people might say to a head waiter , not very correctly, if they all wanted to sit down.

11:31 pm

Jacula

sandbox - that's what I'm trying to lead her to.

11:32 pm

Jacula

As for the the lost se5, add an 'e' to one of your se4's.

11:34 pm

Dianne

Jacula - you are terrific. Great clue - got the SI5. Thanks.

11:38 pm

Dianne

Jacula, Thank you so much. I got the SE word. Felt like I was playing Beat The Clock. Thank you and all that helped me finish. Can't wait for the next one :)

11:41 pm

Jacula

Yeah! Way to go and all that! Next poser soon. Bet Doctor God will make it a child of unmarried parents one for this UK Bank Holiday! 600+ words???? Dunno how many one of those grids can support. EEK!

11:44 pm

Jacula

Hello Dr. God. Have mercy on us poor earthlings, please. (Flutter, flutter - that's the eyelashes.)

11:45 pm

Dianne

I sure hope not - tomorrow is a work day in Hong Konge so I just get this afternoon and bit of tomorrow morning to puzzle it out.

11:46 pm

Jacula

Well, Dianne, we have 13 or 14 mins to fnd that out.

11:47 pm

Gwen

Just under the wire! Finis !!! Thanks for all the help.

Now, back to 7:02am where tbear said di5 was French for 'say'. I found the word, but still can't find a french dictionary. LOL

11:49 pm

Jacula

dite, Gwen.

11:50 pm

Jacula

plus dit, dites, etc.

11:53 pm

Jacula

If it's nothing else, this is a multilingual puzzle! Having said that, most of the word here can be found in either the Oxford or Collins' (big) dictionaries, if you don't know them. That's the great thing about the English language, as i was sayinf a day or two ago, it embraces so much.

11:58 pm

Jacula

2 mins! LOL. At least I'm not counting down peeps trying to finish puzzle this time.

12:00 am

Jacula

OOps 0 mins. Too Late! New brainbuster.
