It is sooo quiet on the chat tonight ??? is anyone out there ??

12:57 am

sfneil

i'm here, blaze... just not that used to the grid yet.

12:58 am

Blaze

there's no getting used to it.... it grows on you...

12:58 am

sfneil

heh. i hope so!

1:01 am

Hugabugs

I'm here Blaze... trying to find that c7/56

1:01 am

Hugabugs

1:02 am

Blaze

Good luck on that...when you find it send a clue out west here....

1:02 am

sfneil

hugabugs, cool! care to share?

1:03 am

carmonli

Can anyone tell me - how is it decided what words are "valid"? This grid won't accept "ancho". Is it only official Scrabble words?

1:03 am

Hugabugs

there's a few words in the same area.... but this specific one is pl of c6/39 - ny of various structures, such as the external ear, that resemble a shell in shape

Think seashells

1:05 am

sfneil

hugs, hugabugs! got 'em!

1:05 am

FMitch

1:09 am

FMitch

carmonli - according to the rules section, only words found in the Enable Dictionary are "official" in this grid.

1:10 am

sfneil

it does eem to vary just slightly from the scrabble dictionaries i'm familiar with.

1:10 am

sfneil

er, "does seem"

1:13 am

Hugabugs

geez... I want to put phonics in so badly

1:14 am

Blaze

Me tooo

1:16 am

sfneil

I want it to accept "Ronco". "As seen on TV!"

1:16 am

corpsvalue

Or Oprah! As seen on TV!

1:17 am

sfneil

Actually, Babble has literally replaced TV for me! (My TV died.)

Hugabugs

Where in Canada are you from?

1:22 am

Blaze

1:24 am

Blaze

other c7/56 think of sharing a meeting the root word c 5/20

1:25 am

IceBoySF

1:25 am

Hugabugs

Blaze - okay, got that one... and the third?

1:26 am

Cmith

c 7/56 mouth lesion

1:30 am

Hugabugs

oh, we had that the other day, didn't we?

1:30 am

EmmaC

think is am being really thick with the 'meeting' c7. I have the root i think but can't finish it. Duh!

1:31 am

Cmith

yep and I am in NS

1:31 am

Hugabugs

Emma - try starting it

1:32 am

Hugabugs

so we got Canada covered coast to coast!

1:32 am

Blaze

llike a vice president but more informal

1:33 am

FMitch

I probably didn't get it the other day either :(

1:34 am

mab

Emmac: if you lead a meeting you are the ch 7. If someone else leads the meeting with you, the both of you are c*ch7s.

1:36 am

Blaze

hug we had the mouth lesion word on the 10th of Sept

1:36 am

carmonli

Thanks FMitch.

I'm in awe of you all - I think I'm pretty literate, and can only get about 1/3 of the words!

1:36 am

EmmaC

Thank you thank you. Got it. Right now I can have a shower and get ready for work. Have a good babbling day.

1:37 am

mab

I mean the ch5; add two ltrs to get c7. Okay?

1:37 am

Blaze

Carmonli.... it takes time to get the groove of the grid, the chat and some of the bizarre words.. It is really fun stick around. :o)

1:38 am

carmonli

The groove of the grid - LOL. Is there a secret for communing with it...?

1:39 am

mab

Dust off your Ouji board.

1:40 am

FMitch

yea, pray a lot and hope you find those really obscure words before you realise you have spent all day looking for a word that doen't exist OL

1:42 am

carmonli

No, seriously - I feel like I'm hitting the wall and don't know what else to try. It gets to the point where it is frustrating, not fun. What sort of techniques do you use, if you don't mind answering?

1:43 am

Hugabugs

Blaze - thanks... I went and viewed my list.

1:43 am

FMitch

when desperate go to www.a2zwordfinder/scrabble.html

1:44 am

onyx

i used to read the dictionary

1:44 am

Blaze

It is frustrating at first ... but... the words are all there. the fun part comes from the chat and the clues... on the Pro babbel we have the grid with the word count per letter on the grid....and a count down for the words we have found... It really is fun...

1:45 am

Blaze

I still read the dictionary to find words that I have either forgotten or do not know about... I love the currency from other country ones.

1:46 am

kolding

No pancho, how disappointing.. :-(

1:47 am

FMitch

time to get ready for work, have fun guys and see you soon Im sure!

1:47 am

Blaze

No nancho either

1:47 am

Blaze

Fmitch have a great day

1:48 am

carmonli

thanks for the advice. Maybe I'll break 1000 points today :)

1:48 am

kolding

Ah, but there are some tasty treats...

1:48 am

mab

Often - very often - I just type various combinations until I stumble upon the word. Usually, we have a list of how many words per letter, but our comrade has been a bit under the weather recently.

1:52 am

carmonli

Got the 4 Qs!

1:53 am

Blaze

See you are a Babbler....

1:53 am

carmonli

I've been called worse... :)

1:56 am

onyx

did any one see the e 7 for 44 yet?

1:57 am

Blaze

not I

1:57 am

helenary

keep"asking"

1:58 am

FMitch

onyx - you should "ask" someone about it

1:58 am

Hugabugs

onyx - yep I got it

1:58 am

Cmith

onyx yea - at 12:06

1:59 am

onyx

and why won't it take the er formof the word?

2:00 am

FMitch

2:01 am

jaydee

thanks for all the great clues, they are stopping me from working!

2:01 am

Blaze

May I have a clue for the E7/44 TIA

2:01 am

onyx

so who wants to work anyway?

2:01 am

Blaze

Hello Jaydee

2:02 am

jaydee

Blaze "ask about something"

2:02 am

Cmith

onyx - noticed that too - probably because it is a varient of the in form of the word

2:12 am

Blaze

E 7/44 eloudes me at the moment... I will go to another letter for now.... maybe it will pop later.

2:13 am

FMitch

Blaze 2nd letter is n

2:13 am

jaydee

Blaze if you ask about something, what are you doing?

2:13 am

Blaze

Fmitch..... that is the direction i needed thank you

2:14 am

Gwen

National En* ... maybe that's why it won't take the 'er'

2:14 am

FMitch

couldn't leave a fellow babbler in trouble, gotta go now byeee

2:15 am

Blaze

Fmitch have a good one see you tomorrow

2:17 am

9:38 am

lola100

Do-oh! Kept trying to make that mi but thought I couldn't!

9:40 am

mtnjock

Lola... why does nachos keep showing up on my screen when I know its not there!

9:41 am

lola100

mtn- look again ;)

9:41 am

mtnjock

LOL... I did that with goatee as well... I should just shut up

9:41 am

sprite

mtnjock... it is hiding :)

9:43 am

mtnjock

Sorry all, didn't mean to...

9:43 am

sprite

nm, happens to the best of us ;)

9:44 am

lola100

LOL! Yesterday we had beer, maybe we should have a big babble party!

9:44 am

sprite

After we've been to the O5 then. Deal!

9:45 am

lola100

LOL! yes, culture first, booze and fattening food afterwards :)

9:45 am

mtnjock

hey, its the first time I have played with a Qu that queer wasn't the grid! But I am still looking for today's dirty word...

9:45 am

DarleenMB

turn my back for 2 min and there's a zillion more posts! Q6 ... ancient grain (have a box of it sitting on my counter!)

9:46 am

lola100

Darleen- cool, bring some to the party!

9:46 am

sprite

Yes, the chat is lively these days. I like it, actually :)

9:46 am

Jo

DarleenMB - I love that stuff! I have some in my cupboard! ;-)

9:47 am

DarleenMB

Tasty, isn't it Jo? SIL made a salad with black beans and cilantro and tomatos and the q6. yummy.

9:48 am

DarleenMB

party? eh? whaddid I miss?

9:49 am

sprite

If I ate more nanochocs I wouldn't be so big :)

9:51 am

lola100

The problem tho' is that you need to eat more of them...

9:51 am

sprite

That's too true...

9:52 am

lola100

Okay, all this party planning is fun but I still can't find that mo6/24. Could someone give me a gentle shove?!

9:52 am

Jera

Greetings and salutations, fellow Babblers!

9:53 am

lola100

Hi Jera :)

9:53 am

refinnej

lola - If sprite eats too many of those nanochocs, she might become this due to a stomach ache. It builds from an M4.

9:53 am

Jera

Canna believe chocs isn't a word!!

9:53 am

mickie

Lola, add 2 letters to the mo4/4

9:54 am

mickie

Sorry I meant mo4/6

9:54 am

Jera

There are other yummy things, tho'...

9:55 am

lola100

Do-oh (again!). Thanks everyone. It's days like this I wonder why I'm bothering.....

9:55 am

Anj

...for the pleasure of my company, perhaps ;)

9:55 am

mtnjock

to beat Judi to it... 'there'd be days like this, my momma said"..

9:56 am

Jera

That gives me a start every time... my daughter is called Sprite (short for MoonSprite)

9:57 am

lola100

Hi sweetie :) Did you have a mo5/24 for me?

9:58 am

lola100

mtn- sing louder, I'll turn my music off!
Jera- was the first word I tried....*sigh*

9:59 am

mtnjock

lola did you get the mi6/24?

9:59 am

Jera

Not that we obsess about brown foods or anything...

10:00 am

Anj

Yes...with choccy sprinkling too :)

This one looks a bit innocuous but I sense a sting in the tail :/

10:00 am

lola100

mtn- yes. Didn't you hear the forehead slapping?!

10:00 am

mtnjock

thats what the noise was...

10:01 am

Jera

Halfway through in an hour... not bad...

10:01 am

lola100

Anj, so far so good, but I am ignoring the C's for now!

10:02 am

Anj

Good idea. I've just been jumping about the grid. Nailed about 80 in the hour I was on earlier but they're beginning to play hard to get now :(

10:03 am

lottijw

Hi all :) Hi Lola, well tonight is THE night and didn`t Baggo make your day? She sure made mine ;o)

10:03 am

Judi

Hoochie Coochie... I see Charo.

10:04 am

sprite

Jera, I guess with your daughter's beautiful name you are the only one who understands my nick :)
All the rest associates me with soft drinks.

10:04 am

mtnjock

I was thinking more of a pixie...

10:04 am

lola100

Hello lotti! I was wondering where my partner in crime was! You shoulda been here girl, Anj was the cowboy, took me hours to find my last few words!!!

10:05 am

Anj

Hi Lotti, Hi Jera, Hi everyone :)
Sorry about that...had to wait for the vanilla coffee to activate lol

10:05 am

sprite

Great company here, thanks mtnjock :)

10:05 am

Jera

One of my favorite wordes... in5/10...

10:05 am

refinnej

sprite - I also thought along the lines of pixie; but definitely mischievous! :)

10:06 am

Jera

Oh, there's a soft drink? JK... Sprite loves to sing that commercial... she thinks it's about her...

10:06 am

sprite

I take mischievous over softdrinks anyday! LOL

10:07 am

lottijw

Whoooooo, thats a knee trembler!!!! Glad i wasn`t here i`m too easily distracted:)
I read the posts and noticed he`s lacking some love and affection too!!!!!!!!!

10:07 am

Bugzy

It's funny - one of my dogs is named Sprite - I also chose it because she looked like a little pixie - but everyone thinks it's because of the pop (soda, for those of you not in the Midwest) :)

10:07 am

Jera

Herself is convinced is convince we have fairies in the backyard... makes them little houses & sets out food...

10:08 am

sprite

How old is she, Jera? She sounds like a great kid!

10:08 am

lottijw

Hey Anj i want vanilla coffee.....I`m here with a Nescafe:]

10:09 am

lola100

lotti- are you talking about the posts from yesterday or today? (OR are you just trying to stir things up...?)

10:09 am

sprite

C4/9 is one of my favorites!

10:10 am

Judi

There's my Dobby! Hi, Refinnej.

10:10 am

lottijw

From today Lola it looks more like Anj and Baggo were stirring things up!!!!!!
I don`t do things like that LOL

10:11 am

mtnjock

step back all, lightnings about to strike lotti

10:11 am

Jera

9 1/2, but very fanciful & artistic. Still believes deeply in magic & goodness!

10:12 am

lola100

'course not lotti... :)

10:12 am

sprite

Jera, I hope she will keep that faith!

10:12 am

lottijw

What you sayin mtn!!!!!!!
My kids would say liar liar bums on fire!!!!

10:13 am

elena

Hi! Please can anybody explain how do you know the maximum numbers of words you might get? Thanks in advance!!!!

10:13 am

Judi

Does anyone have a full breakdown of the Q's? Also, clue for Q6?

10:14 am

Anj

lol Lotti...I was just trotting blithely thru' the minefield of life. The fun about stepping on one is that you never know where you're going to land next :)

10:14 am

lola100

qu 4 8
qu 6 30
qu 7 44
qu 5 18

10:14 am

Jera

With my spiritual path, she will probably keep it longer than most, if not forever... it will be her own decision before too long!

10:15 am

Judi

Thanks, Lola.

10:16 am

Anj

Judi, the qu6 is the high-protein dried fruits and seeds of the goosefoot plant, used as a food staple and ground into flour.
A-ha! I'm missing the qu7. Thank you Lola :)

10:16 am

sprite

That's wonderful, Jera. Looks like you have given her something really precious.

10:16 am

Lupe613

q6 - the seed of the Chenopodium or Goosefoot plant. It is used as a grain.

10:19 am

Judi

Ick. A Q6 was bad enough. Okay, now I need a clue for the Q7.

10:20 am

Anj

...plural of your Q6 :)

Took me a while to twig that one... :(

10:21 am

mtnjock

humbly bowing before Anj (I had no, NO clue what grain everyone was speaking of)... Knowing that it could be pluralized made it easy!

10:22 am

Jo

mtnjock, you must try it. It's really quite good. You can get it at health food stores! ;-)

10:23 am

lola100

Looks like you need to borrow my goddess icon Anj!

10:23 am

mickie

are there any clues to the 8 letter words?

10:23 am

refinnej

Hi Judi! I like posting just to see Dobby. :-D

The Q6/7 grain is quite good - I tried it for the first time recently, though the bag had been sitting in my cupboard for over a year. ;)

10:23 am

Judi

Yes, the Q6 makes good pasta, too.

10:24 am

mtnjock

I just stumbled over re8, one who mends things...

10:24 am

Anj

...I'm not sure if I have the right curves Lo lol

10:24 am

mickie

Ok, no sooner did I post that I got the re8/50 one. How about the other?

10:26 am

lola100

Haha, no, maybe not!

10:26 am

Jera

You have a goddess icon, lola? I'm working on a new one...

10:27 am

lola100

Will people start throwing things if I post another "i'm missing 2..." message?

10:28 am

lola100

Yes jera, I put it on for Punster and he promises me lots of chocolate ;)

10:28 am

refinnej

lola - If you post about C, N, P or R words I'll thank you. :D

10:28 am

mtnjock

could I get a clue to the eo 6/18

10:29 am

sprite

Lola, I'll throw you some nanochocs and cohair.

10:29 am

anyas_wrath

mtnjack- relating to an ion

10:30 am

anyas_wrath

okay, a typo free post:
Mtnjock: relateing to an eon

10:30 am

Jera

What goddess is she? My current one is Cerridwen...

10:31 am

Judi

Anyas - I hate to tell you, but you spelled "relating" wrong.

10:32 am

Judi

Does anyone know what the other 8 is?

10:32 am

10:34 am

mickie

Thanks again, Lola! You have been my savior today!

10:34 am

lola100

jera- not sure, just googled her! I'm hoping she is the goddess of chocolate....will put her on next time we see Punster :)

10:34 am

Judi

That's okay, Anyas. We all make mistakes.

10:36 am

Jera

Ah, I see... a fun goddess, not a "real" one... good thing I didn't get crazy with Celtic history on ya... ;>

10:38 am

Judi

Isn't the goddess of chocolate Godiva?

10:39 am

lola100

Of course Judi, how could I forget?!

10:39 am

Judi

Can I have a clue for the N8?

10:39 am

refinnej

Judi - legal activity :)

10:40 am

sprite

Judi: you are not bad when you do it.

10:42 am

mtnjock

can I get some help with en 7?

10:43 am

10:43 am

Tandy

quina is a bark yielding quinine in the oxford dict:so why not valid

10:44 am

mtnjock

no, sniff that was the eo6, I have decided to tackle the vowels before lunch... LOL

10:44 am

refinnej

Tandy - only words in the enable word list are valid, so that does sometimes mean valid words from other dictionaries are not accepted. It's a frustrating fact of babble life.

10:44 am

Anj

Oh dear. The wheels are coming off. I keep missing words 'cos i'm looking in the wrong direction :(

10:44 am

lola100

LOL! thanks refinnej, how'd you know that was going to be my next question?!

10:45 am

refinnej

mtnjock - Anj's post was a clue for the en7, and was not referring to your questions about the eo6 at all. ;)

10:45 am

lola100

mtn- Anj was being cryptic. Think "to ask" :)

10:46 am

refinnej

lola - I do know that both of my missing r words are from the top row. If yours are not, maybe we can get somewhere. :)

10:46 am

mtnjock

thanks, I finished the q's so I ignored it... silly me

10:46 am

Ray100

what is the "enable" list referred to? can we access it?

10:46 am

lola100

ref- give me a minute to check :)

10:46 am

sandbox74

refine there is a ra6/24

10:46 am

mtnjock

should have referenced brandyjack's list before writing it off...

10:47 am

Tandy

where do you find the enable word list

10:47 am

Anj

...thanks mum. Ah, the ol' trusty eo6 is in again. That one is getting to be an old friend, just like the water buffalo

10:49 am

refinnej

Thanks sandbox.

The enable word list is a standard used by some game entities, and probably others. I know I found it once a while back by doing a google search, but it took a while to get the actual list. I finally found it somewhere in text or MSWord format. It's a huuuuuuge list.

10:50 am

zackstef

You can choose to look up words in the Enable Scabble dictionary at http://www.puzzlers.org/wordlists/grepdict.php
(it's a good place to go when you're getting desperate).

10:51 am

Tandy

thanks refinnej but have just lost the will to live after reading that

10:51 am

lola100

ref- the only one I have that you don't is that ra6/24: bitter, long lasting resentment. (that was the def, not how I feel about the R's!)

10:52 am

mtnjock

Yeah, done with the e's, i's ... now onto the o's

10:53 am

refinnej

Yeah, I found that one right away with the length/score. They seem to become so obvious then. :) I'll keep looking for the other, and the last p too.

10:53 am

Jera

Ooh, that's a good word, lola... another one of my favorites...

10:54 am

lola100

jera- one of my favourites is "inept". Nothing beats using that in a sentence!

10:55 am

Anj

How about wurlitzer??

10:58 am

Judi

Breaking for lunch. You kids behave.

12:44 pm

sfneil

12:44 pm

Blaze

Judi one is a mouth sore...(used in puzzle 09/10)
one is the meeting name
the other think shell...then add letters....part of the ear anatomy

12:51 pm

Blaze

could I get a clue for p7/44 Please

12:52 pm

mtnjock

Judi, think facade, fake, PH***, only more so..

12:53 pm

mtnjock

I meant you Blaze, sorry...

12:53 pm

Bugzy

Blaze - it's p7/48 - more fake
Any clues for the h7/40?

12:54 pm

Blaze

Baggoo is that a butt.??

12:54 pm

macadam

Gosh Baggo you`ve changed

12:55 pm

baggo

co7/57 shells
co7/36 Trite, dated, melodramatic, or mawkishly sentimental

12:55 pm

Judi

Thanks to all for help on the 7's. I'm down to just two now. Need C7-36 and H7-40.

12:55 pm

Blaze

thanks for the ph clue

12:55 pm

baggo

had to do something to make blaze laugh...

12:56 pm

Blaze

and i am .... after the shock ROFLOL %%%

12:57 pm

sfneil

Judi did you get the c7 that is to be one half of the presiding team on a committee? has to do with seating.

12:57 pm

Judi

Oops. Thanks, Baggo. We posted at the same time.

1:01 pm

Judi

Have all the 7's now, thanks.

1:03 pm

Blaze

the I 7/44 word clue.... I can not find "taxed to the max'

1:05 pm

baggo

blaze do you have the i6/30 which is what the salary you make is called. the i7 would be the one who brings it home...

1:05 pm

sfneil

Blaze, think of when someone is replaced by someone else. One's an "outgoer" and the other is an i7

1:05 pm

Judi

i7 = opposite of "outgoer".

1:06 pm

Blaze

Got the I 7.... I kept looking for the M and it did not seem to connect itself.... it's the babbler in me... Iam off for a coffee now

1:06 pm

Judi

Baggo, the salary I make is "insignificant", but that's a 13 letter word and sadly not the one Blaze is looking for.

1:07 pm

suebhoney

Even with all the clues given I can't, for the life of me, figure out the mouth sore or the wool :\

1:08 pm

sfneil

So... how 'bout the 8s?

1:08 pm

plurple

second letter distribution been posted yet?

1:09 pm

baggo

lol judi...

1:10 pm

mtnjock

sueb - take a chance and stick and extra letter in there... ;), make it add up.

1:10 pm

Judi

Movie title in the puzzle today... Come back "Shane".

1:11 pm

Vicuna

In what possible way is "enquirer" not a valid word?

1:12 pm

Bugzy

sueb - the mouth sore has kind of a British spelling at the end -- and if you're American and into football, the M sounds like a former Miami quarterback...

1:13 pm

sfneil

suebhoney, the c7 that is the mouth sore looks like a c6 word (not in the grid) for "randomness" or "opportunity", with an extra letter just before the end

1:13 pm

suebhoney

mtnjock: that was no help to me LOL.

1:14 pm

Blaze

Mouth sore word in 09/10 word list....
Enquirer is logo name not a word as in a dictionary...had this discussion last nite.

1:14 pm

mtnjock

read the post below yours and get the clue ;) most of it should be in place now...

1:15 pm

suebhoney

The Miami QB clue was awesome!!

1:15 pm

Bugzy

He was my favorite... no.13 :)

1:15 pm

Jera

Anj... sorry to ignore you, my phone rang... tyvm for the C's...

1:17 pm

Vicuna

Maybe so, but I still think I was one when I posed the question!

1:17 pm

lottijw

Jera i thought you were looking for a godess too!!!!

1:17 pm

Jera

I mean the E's... too early for evil C's right now...

1:18 pm

Anj

Thanx Jera, but refinnej gets the credit for that. I was just the humble Es :)

1:19 pm

Jera

No, I'm designing a new goddess icon for Mabon, but I have a week for that... today we have Coco from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. My family was laughing at me earlier... I was hollering everytime I found a yummy co word

1:20 pm

kristin

M7/36 - mohair is only wool I can think of and I know the quarterback you refer to but can't get the spelling to work out - any other clues?

1:21 pm

lottijw

Oh do you need imaginary friends? !!!! Is that why you play on here LOL?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:21 pm

suebhoney

kristen alter the spelling, it's not exactly the same

1:21 pm

Anj

kristin, it's me7 and it's plural :)

1:22 pm

Jera

All my real friends have abandoned me... all I do is sit at my computer, alternating hysterical laughter & sobbing...

1:24 pm

Judi

I'm missing the er4. Monkey typing getting me nowhere. Clue me, someone, please!

1:25 pm

lottijw

Jera I have a violin playing especially for you!!! ;)

1:26 pm

sfneil

Judi er4 is a sea eagle

1:26 pm

Judi

Thanks, sfneil. That bastard bird gets me every time.

1:27 pm

kristin

thanks anj and sueb - got it. I kept trying "mo" instead of "me" - I'd never have gotten it!

1:28 pm

sfneil

Heh. I only remember it because I have a cousin we call that.

1:29 pm

Anj

Jera, don't forget the coffee & choccies :)

1:30 pm

Jera

Yes... our favorite brown foods...

1:31 pm

lottijw

See ya later guys. Must go make (and eat) chilli!!!!
Yum yum :o)

1:32 pm

Jera

Okay, I'm being dense again... can't remember the infamous sea eagle or eo6/18 (don't hit me, Anj!)...

1:32 pm

sfneil

'Bye, lottijw!

(Oh, man. Now I want chili!)

1:32 pm

baggo

see ya lotti...

1:33 pm

Anj

Lotti! triple fried egg, chili & chutney sandwhich :D

1:33 pm

Anj

Baggo! hahahaha

1:34 pm

Anj

that's a bit cheeky lol :D

1:34 pm

sfneil

Jera, sea eagle rhymes with "fern", eo6 is having to do with a period of time longer than an era

1:34 pm

baggo

like it anj??? where's lola? still not as cool as yours

1:35 pm

torgone

Is that 3 fried eggs or an egg fried 3 times?? ( I don't understand English food)

1:36 pm

Anj

Hey Jera, i'm having one of those days as well :)
sfneil has hit the spot with the er4
If you're still stuffed with the eo6, it's two 3 letter words:
looooong time and man's name (that sounds like looooooong time) :)

1:37 pm

Jera

ty sfneil... got the eagle... i have the first half of the eo6... how do I end it??

1:38 pm

sfneil

Jera if the period of time was a country, the eo6 would be one of its countrymen.

1:39 pm

mab

You're killing me baggo! Interesting fixation on bottoms.

1:40 pm

baggo

no fixation, they just seem to be the thing that make people laugh...

1:40 pm

lola100

baggo, baggo, baggo.......

1:40 pm

sfneil

Babble: spell your a** off!

1:42 pm

Anj

Torgone, it's 3 fried eggs in one sandwich. It's the calorific equivalent of a neutron star and probably has the same effect on you lol

1:42 pm

Anj

Baggo, talk of the devil }D

1:43 pm

Jera

Yay, thanks, sfneil! Sorry for delay, my silly son pulled the dining room tablecloth off while he was (supposedly) taking his name. Unfortnately he hasn't mastered that particular magic trick yet...

1:43 pm

Jera

I mean nap, not name, LOL!

1:44 pm

torgone

Sounds good, Anj. I'll have one with a couple ESB's to wash it down.

1:44 pm

1:46 pm

1:47 pm

Jera

3:48 pm

Minski

3:48 pm

lola100

chris p- it is a pa4/6 (hurt) plus two letters.

3:53 pm

lola100

3:54 pm

Minski

I"m missing all 13 7 letter words. Is there a list somewhere in the log?

3:55 pm

lola100

4:02 pm

Kallia

4:07 pm

Anj

Cheers Lola, Kallia :)
I've sussed out the problem. My brain can't seem to handle wordss where the same chain of root letters go in different directions. It's like binocular dyslexia...I see the letters but I don't make the connection.
I think I need 3 shredded wheat lol

4:07 pm

Minski

I'm off. Baby woke up. More torchure later.

4:08 pm

Dachef

anj - I have the same prob - the other day I didnt get 'dealt' bcos I thought of it like 'de-alt', and that not a word!

4:08 pm

Kallia

Go for it Anj...think that was my problem with the n's...too many options to start from meant word blindness,,,when I had the list and slowed down ait wasn't that bad :)

4:09 pm

Kallia

4:11 pm

Haz1558

Why is this grid such a pain today? I can't seem to make any headway but at least others are struggling as well. I'm comforted by the prospect of watching Apprentice USA and trying to work out, once again, how Donald Trump manages to get his hair to look like that!

4:11 pm

sfneil

thanks, s4ndy!

4:13 pm

Kallia

see I saw an A is S4ndy's name!! lol this game addles the brain sometimes!

4:13 pm

s4ndy

4:14 pm

sfneil

4:16 pm

s4ndy

na5/14 - sounds like part of the male anatomy

4:16 pm

Kallia

na5/14 mother of pearl :)

4:17 pm

sfneil

Thanks, Kallia!! s4ndy what part does that sound like??

4:22 pm

Anj

Thanks for the support Kallia. I can't make up my mind whether i'm Sisyphus or Prometheus at the mo. Either way I can't seem to move on lol

4:23 pm

s4ndy

4:24 pm

sfneil

4:26 pm

Kallia

4:32 pm

4:32 pm

snowyowl

Hey CATHB think we could get the Bumbles of Mumbles on line?

4:32 pm

brandyjack

st4 means it's an ST word with a length of 4
st4/5 means an ST word, 4 letters, with a score of 5.

4:33 pm

Kallia

4:33 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

ty brandyjack!

4:34 pm

DarleenMB

Let me add to the confusion. "st4/8" means you should look for a word that starts with the letters "ST" and the word is 8 letters long. Does that help?

4:34 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

y do these messages come up so many times?

Meant to say, I don't calculate the scores on these. Is generated by a program and 20 lines of code was enough. Besides, don't want to make it too esy for people. This game isn't about winning, it's about the challenge.....

4:38 pm

mab

Well said, jack. Thank you for your wonderful lists.

4:38 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

May I have a clue for the no6/24? It's my last n. Thanks much!

4:41 pm

Sheila Rae

xox_lozzi_xox it's always easy to find words yourself and then when you get stuck start looking at clues...at least it's easier for me

4:42 pm

snowyowl

lozzi don't give up. This grid is really fiddly but if you take a very big breath you will find 20 words. Tonight most of us would prefer to be out playing footie. Even me and I'm really old and unfit and I hate footie!

4:42 pm

xox_lozzi_xox

i just got fustrated and made up a word (so i thought) and its a real word! wooo!

4:42 pm

DarleenMB

Well there you go! Now you're a real Babbler!!

4:52 pm

snowyowl

Dachef its a word that was in an earlier puzzle, its a type of sore you could get on your mouth and sounds a little like a star sign

4:52 pm

sfneil

chef, it's a lesion or sore on the mouth. Looks like a c6 word (not in the grid) for "randomness" or "opportunity", with an extra letter stuck in just before the end

4:52 pm

CATHB

dachef - a mouth lesion

4:53 pm

mab

....like a cold sore, dachef. Quaint spelling.

4:53 pm

Moozey

Dachef - and Abba song Take a Ch..... but add a letter penultimate letter of that word

5:45 pm

snowyowl

Lozzi have you got 'when a pencil is broken you sh****** it'

5:45 pm

Jera

I'm taking my meds early after that one... it MIGHT help... or make things worse, who knows...

5:46 pm

lola100

jera- will probably help, anything to numb the pain that was this grid!

5:47 pm

sfneil

lol, Jera! glad you got it. Was it Anj that was talking earlier about how, once you've branched off in one direction, it's hard to see that the other direction is a possibility, too? Happens to me all the time.

5:47 pm

Jera

I dunno, the numbness might not help... it makes me sleepy...

5:47 pm

Just gave the baby a bath and put her to bed. How could something so cute be such an incredible pain in the a**?

6:22 pm

Anj

Ferrari, there's 4 no4s:
1) french for black
2) lawn ornament
3) An edible, dried preparation of red algae of the genus (sounds like an apology!)
4) french for we or reason & knowledge

6:22 pm

thanks anj already found it must be first obscure scrabble word to fit that isn't in the a2z

6:25 pm

Jera

There is just no reason for that word to be in my puzzle. No excuse whatsoever. I'm... I'm... nonplussed!!!

6:27 pm

SunnFlower

why invent another word just call it red algae

6:28 pm

I just added the ability to view the chat log in chunks of 50 (i.e. prev/next page links.) This should help those of you whose browsers blow up when you click the "Show all messages" link.

(I did just realize, however, that the chat log still updates and changes the log while you're viewing previous pages. I'll have to figure how to stop that.)

6:28 pm

Jera

Is a light snack or meal = a lawn ornament for the no4??

6:28 pm

SunnFlower

jera did you get it or are you still nonplussed?

6:29 pm

Anj

Ferrari, I think we do. It's the Japs who call it no4/4 lol
I recognise the latin porphyra - it's been in the grid a few times before & I still didn't twig

6:29 pm

Jera

Oh I got it. The China one. That's what nonplussed me. Spam isn't a word but a Chinese town is.

6:30 pm

Jera

Still wondering... is the lawn ornament a light snack?

6:30 pm

Anj

Cheers Dr God. I find it helps to hide the icons before trawling the log for info too :)

6:30 pm

Jo

Jera, I'm still mad about NONI. Its a real fruit, and you think the 'Tahitian Noni' ads would put it in a standard dictionary!! LOL

6:31 pm

snowyowl

TY Dr God.

6:31 pm

Uneaixoise

the light snack is a different word from the lawn ornament :-)

6:32 pm

Jera

I hear ya Jo.

6:32 pm

Anj

Jera, the lawn ornament is also a city of Western Alaska on Norton Sound. Another one for the pot lol

6:33 pm

Jera

So I wonder what the lawn ornament is if there are only 4 no's... I have light snack, black (fr.), we (fr.), & algae.

6:33 pm

mu

Dr God. You are so considerate thanks for the update.
As you are so kind I can't figure out why you give us 49 C's to find !!!!!!!!!!!! I'm beaten by them tonight

6:33 pm

dr god can you explain why I used to be able to print my list of words in full and now I can only get page 1, I have to copy and paste which is faffy oh the trials and tribulations of a babbler

6:33 pm

Jera

I guess my question is... do I need to figure out what this lawn ornament is??

6:34 pm

SunnFlower

a lawn ornament as it sounds not as its spelt

6:35 pm

SunnFlower

g

6:35 pm

snowyowl

Jera I have 5 nos For the garden ornament think small pixie type ornament and knock off the first letter

6:36 pm

saladspork

it's also a town in alaska. and i think of it more as a garden ornament, less of a lawn one. featured prominently in the movie amelie.

6:36 pm

Jera

Ye gods so the answer to my question is yes!! How many no4's are there?? I don't have N stats.

6:37 pm

snowyowl

Does anyone have a clue for a cr 5 please? I have the one thats an illegal act.

6:38 pm

Jera

So the city is a word... but Rome the EMPIRE isn't?? I gotta get this Enable dictionary.

6:39 pm

Jera

Okay... back to work... ignoring the N's now, too.

May I have a hint on the in6's & in7, please?

6:39 pm

Jera

Snowy, I would help you but I have zero cr's, hon.

6:40 pm

snowyowl

Sorry I,ve missed nearly all the stats today which has made the babbling interesting

6:40 pm

SunnFlower

snowyowl anagram a c5/14 you may have or add a letter to a c4/6

6:41 pm

SunnFlower

it means 10 million

6:41 pm

could i have a hint on the co7--not the sharing leadership one or the trite one--thanks

6:42 pm

SunnFlower

c6/39 plus a letter

6:42 pm

Jera

Do you have the Kansas one? As in crop famously grown there... but more of it?

6:43 pm

Anj

Uneaixoise, is it the co7/56?
Think of a big shell and add two vowels

6:43 pm

Uneaixoise

yeah, that's the trite one but thanks

6:43 pm

snowyowl

Thankyou ferrari got it at last!

6:44 pm

6:45 pm

6:46 pm

mab

May I have a hint for the me 6 and 7 please?

6:46 pm

Anj

Jera, I think I confused matters with my N post for Ferrari so here's a summary:
no4/4 - french black
no4/6 - sounds like garden ornament (city in Alaska too)
no4/4 - the Fate who spins the thread of life
no4/4 - red algae which sounds like apology
no4/6 - everything is aok
no4/7 - snack attack
no4/4 - french for we - also knowledge/reason

6:46 pm

Jera

I need those too, mab...

6:46 pm

6:48 pm

Anj

Jera, your ra6/33 - think of Southfork and add a hoop ;)

6:48 pm

SunnFlower

jera ra6/33 is an extension of an ra/20, it was in the grid a few days ago. extend it to get an ra7 as well

6:49 pm

mab

Thank you Une. Did you get your co 7? Its what you might say to describe something that is even schlockier than another silly thing.

6:49 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, got it--thanks

6:49 pm

Jera

Good thing I'm taking Roman history... I know the Clotho equivalent!

6:50 pm

Anj

ExWren, it's literally an illegality that never took place

6:50 pm

Jera

I'm stumped on everything in a ok... (no4/6)

6:50 pm

snowyowl

Ex Wren - the no8 is a cr5 that did'nt happen

6:51 pm

Anj

Jera, i'm impressed. it was in dic.com but I didn't mention :)

6:51 pm

Uneaixoise

jera, it means "standard, not unusual"

6:52 pm

mab

When something happens that is not an illegality it could be said to be a no8. cr 5 with prefix.

6:52 pm

Anj

Jera, the aok no4/6 - think of Marilyn Monro's real first name and drop the A.

6:52 pm

Jera

oOh smack me... I had the plural, LOL (ra7/48) not the singular!

6:52 pm

Uneaixoise

very creative, anj!

6:53 pm

Jera

Got it, Yay!

6:53 pm

I used to love Triangle with Larry Lamb

7:11 pm

snowyowl

I'm giving up with 58 to go. 3 grandchildren under 6 to get to school in the morning with possibly 2 more if my daughter gets called into work.
Goodnight all and good luck. Look forward to tomorrows puzzle.

7:14 pm

snowyowl

Wasn't Larry Lamb in Toy Town? or is that 2 far back?

7:14 pm

Anj

Good spot Haz - I keep getting those two mixed up lol

7:16 pm

Haz1558

Stephanie's finest hour was in Tenko. I don't know what Kate's finest hour was...

7:16 pm

SunnFlower

it was Kate O'Mara , Stephanie Beacham was in Dynasty and Tenko .why have all my words just shot right to the bottom below the post message box?

7:17 pm

ExWren

Help, all of my words have jumped down to beneath the message box!

7:17 pm

SunnFlower

7:17 pm

Jax

ExWren - mine too! I have tried refreshing.... maybe I need to sign out and back in

7:18 pm

Haz1558

Good grief, you spend all day finding them and then the blessed words are trying to escape!

Yo, Dr God, we Broke it! Again!

7:19 pm

ExWren

Thank goodness I'm not the only one. I thought for one awful minute that I'd lost the lot

7:20 pm

Anj

Mine are OK. Don't forget that Dr God is refining the message log at the mo :)

7:21 pm

mab

For some reason a message slipped out beyond the box. As soon as it's no longer part of the 50 things will go back to normal.

7:21 pm

SunnFlower

anj are yours still next to you grid?

7:21 pm

Sheila Rae

Deb, I will get booted off this cruddy hotel internet in a few minutes, so I will try IM. I am at 962, and have to go over 1000 before I can quit. Give me a few.

7:24 pm

SunnFlower

7:25 pm

Debluvsmusic

Sheila - I love you sister, but you have to find your own words - after all, you are the English Teacher :)

7:25 pm

SunnFlower

my sister was going to get me firefox when my yahoo mail disppeared this week its caput

7:26 pm

mab

hmmm....Interesting, Anj. It was your msg that overflowed the box. This happened once before.

7:27 pm

brandyjack

It's not the message per se, just the long link that is being treated as one word and babble is refusing to split up.

7:28 pm

Jax

Any hints for the ch 7? I am plugging along here. The more we chat, the faster this thing fixes itself!

7:30 pm

mab

I am further illuminated: thank Jack. I do wish it would go away.

7:30 pm

SunnFlower

ch/756 . a syphilitic lesion twas in a few days ago

7:31 pm

brandyjack

Hiding the icons will get rid of it.

7:31 pm

Jax

Thank you Ferrari

7:31 pm

mab

Well, I went down to check, and ch 7 is the cold sore word we've had once before. Quaint spelling.

7:33 pm

mab

May I have a clue for ho 7 please?

7:34 pm

SunnFlower

7:34 pm

cbr1965

Jera - you are right - he's gorgeous

7:35 pm

Anj

That url is seperate from the word list on Firefox and doesn't appear to interfere. Can't speak for other browsers tho' so I will avoid doing that again. Sorry folks.

7:35 pm

SunnFlower

ho7/40 add letters to an ho5/16

7:35 pm

Sheila Rae

1010 points. Thank you everyone for helping me get my highest score yet.

Deb, getting on IM. Bye all.

7:35 pm

Jera

Hey, I'm back! Sorry... hubby came home & I had to go freet him... Anj, that sounds interesting, will check it out...

7:35 pm

mab

Hardly your fault, Anj.

7:36 pm

Jera

So it's all Anj's fault, as usual...

7:36 pm

cbr1965

Ta Dah - it's baaaack

7:37 pm

Anj

...it's been one of those days :/

7:37 pm

Jera

Queen mab, you are too nice...

7:37 pm

Jera

Just noticed my typo... in case anyone's wondering, I did not freet my husband... I merely greeted him, LOL!

7:38 pm

mab

Jera: "freet?" Is that a good thing to do to one's husband, or a wicked thing? I wish I had some meds to take right now.

7:38 pm

Jera

Hey, he takes what he can get... freet... greet... it's all good...

7:39 pm

Jera

Hey, cbr! Have you been here long?

7:39 pm

mab

Normal now!

7:40 pm

cbr1965

No just got home - long day running errands after work - I have 106 left to go so I'll probably be here quite a while though!

7:40 pm

Jera

Hey, is plurple lurking? We're watching Foster's here...

7:40 pm

Anj

...and that url is off the page. Coincidence, I think not.
Good advert for Firefox tho' lol

7:40 pm

Jera

You will prolly finish before me, cbr... I'm on medication...

7:42 pm

mab

I'm glad you're looking jollier this evening Anj. Ah, love is in the air...

7:42 pm

Anj

...and on that note, it's time for me to hit the hay.
Any last requests before I go - preferably ones that do not involve me, dawn's rosy light, firing squads & blindfolds...

7:42 pm

Jera

Okay... back to business... could someone please help me with the in6's & in7??

7:43 pm

cbr1965

Sorry you aren't feeling well - you know I'm always happy to help but my clues aren't too creative!

7:43 pm

Jera

Anj, I like your Brian icon best... that freaky spider thing made my son cry today!

7:45 pm

Jera

Sometimes creative goes right over my head...

7:46 pm

Anj

Cheers Mab - love? don't know what you're talking about lol

Jera, It nearly had the same effect on me :( Won't be using that one again...

7:46 pm

mab

Sorry.
na 6. May I please have a clue?

7:47 pm

cbr1965

sometimes when I try to be creative it makes sense only to my warped mind -I like your new icon

7:47 pm

Jera

The only na6 I have is mexican munchies

7:47 pm

lianakate

i just downloaded firefox..anj. the printing is so small! Otherwise..I like it bunches!!

7:47 pm

cbr1965

Hi Lianakate

7:48 pm

mab

Can't believe I missed that. Thanks cbr. 'night Anj.

7:48 pm

lianakate

Hi CB!!

7:49 pm

Jera

Hey lianakate!

7:49 pm

Anj

Hi Lianakate. It's been really well behaved for me, although Windows XP Pro gives it a rough ride sometimes lol

7:50 pm

mab

How nice to see you again, lianakate; it's been awhile.

7:50 pm

Anj

Right, that's me. 'Nite all. Good luck with the grid. Catch you again tomorrow :)

7:50 pm

Christy6543

If "nachos" and "nacho" are valid words, what's wrong with "ancho" -- it's probably on the nachos. And what about enquirer -- enquire is a valid word. Arrrrrrrgh.

7:50 pm

Jera

I need a hint with the in 6/18... in6/30... in7/44, please!

7:51 pm

lianakate

Hi Jera :)..The printing is so small on it, ANJ,..even my glasses dont help much!

7:55 pm

Jax

Jera - I'm not working on my I's yet. Sorry

7:56 pm

Jera

Well... I gotta go do the family thing for awhile... be back later...

8:00 pm

Vicuna

the in6/18 is more of your 5/10
the 6/30 and 7 are related to each other and are the money you make at your job (unless, like me, you slave away all day for no pay, i.e. motherhood!)

8:04 pm

Jacula

Hello fellow Babblers. How are you all this fine day?

I'm stuck on two final words - a co5/18 (I have the drug trees and the one who arrives) and a co6/24 (I have the moneymaker, the oil of Hemlock and the 90% angle). Any clues please?

8:07 pm

kimdog

Jacula, your co/6 is part of the eye

8:08 pm

Jacula

Thanks kimdog. Got it now. I was going up to the right instead of the left. *slaps head*

8:09 pm

Jacula

That just leaves the co5/18.

8:12 pm

Jacula

It has to come off the c on the right on the third row.

8:13 pm

Jacula

Why am I having to refresh after adding a message? Never had to before.

8:15 pm

mab

Jacula: do you have the seashell that indigenous peoples sometimes use as a horn?

8:15 pm

Jax

Jacula - and you have the wonderful winter warm drink right?

8:16 pm

Jacula

Yes, I do. It's a 5/24.

8:17 pm

Jacula

That's the one Jax. Thanks. I'd got the 'Chanel' version but hadn't looked up for the final letter.

I'm done then. Thanks for the help everyone.

8:19 pm

Jax

I'm glad to be of help. I feel like I am always asking for help.

8:20 pm

Jacula

Can't stop long but does anyone need any clues while I'm here?

8:21 pm

swmbo

Real life is killing me. No time to Babble. Bwah!

8:21 pm

Jax

I need an sh 6, I have the one that forms something and one that is a sham.

8:22 pm

cbr1965

Jax - I must have the other one because I don't have the sham I don't think - use an ai4/4 to find the answer

8:23 pm

Jax

cbr- that is the one I have, my dictionary says it means 'sham'

8:25 pm

Jacula

Today's 'Not There But I Keep Seeing Them' words were anchor, panic, chariot, scone, hospice, aerobic, orchard, herioc, erotic, ironic, aphis and apron.

A few famous people appeared - Cronin (AJ), Ronan (Keating), Nero (Emperor), Shapiro (Helen), Shane (Fenton aka Alvin Stardust) and Conan (The Barbarian). None of them were allowed in though.:-(

Two famous brand names also appeared - Ronco (who could forget their 70s products?) and Harpic (the toilet cleaner).

8:26 pm

cbr1965

Sorry then - I am missing the other one too!

8:27 pm

Vicuna

The last sh6 is an adj describing something worked on by the other sh9 (and differing from that only in the last letter.)

8:27 pm

Jacula

You need the past participle of your sh5/20.

8:28 pm

Jax

Duh - thanks ladies

8:28 pm

Jax

11 to go - I think - 185 total right?

8:28 pm

Jacula

185 words for 2967 points, Jax.

8:31 pm

Jacula

What do you need Jax?

8:33 pm

Jax

down to 7. I need an no 5 and 2 na 5. The no I have is a type of waterwheel and the na I have is the munchie

8:33 pm

Jax

The rest are co's and I'm just working on them now

8:33 pm

cbr1965

the na has the same ending as the mouth sore that is a ch7

8:34 pm

Jax

jacula - one co I might be missing is you 90% angle, I don't get that clue

8:34 pm

cbr1965

the other na could be a squealer ib drug lingo with an extra vowel at the end

8:35 pm

cbr1965

Sorry my message posted too fast - once you get that word switch the last two letters

8:36 pm

Jacula

The no5 is a plural of your no4/4, the one that sounds like nothing with a vowel at the end.

8:38 pm

Jacula

The na5 is mother-of-pearl. Try putting in your land measure (ac4/6).

8:38 pm

Jax

Thank you - cbr it took me awhile to figure that one out! Lol. off to the rest of the co's. Anything I can offer?

8:38 pm

cbr1965

If you're still around later, I'm sure I'll be begging!

8:39 pm

Jacula

The co6/24 (90% angle) is something you might get backed into.

8:39 pm

Jax

I'm trying to be done by 10....fingers crossed

8:40 pm

Jax

ahh gotcha Jacula . I had that one, just didn't get your clue. lol

8:42 pm

cbr1965

If I don't have it before you leave, how about a clue for the other 8 - I have fixer

8:52 pm

Jacula

CBR - Take your cr5/18 (illegal act) and put 'no' and another consonant in front of it.

8:53 pm

cbr1965

How easy was that? I'm doing the co's now - will get to the no's soon. Thanks very much!

8:58 pm

Jax

Whoo Hoo. Done, at 10:00 on the money. Can I help before I go?

9:03 pm

Jacula

I have to go now. 'See' you all later.

9:59 pm

cathy22w

9:59 pm

cathy22w

i am struggling with a co6 and co7... not sure if they are a little cryptic and associated with one another?

9:59 pm

Blaze

cathy do you have the word for shell ??

9:59 pm

Jera

Better than yesterday... meds are working, not sleeping quite so much!

9:59 pm

cbr1965

There are two co's that are related - type of shell - you always see people listening to them

10:00 pm

cbr1965

the base word is a co5

10:00 pm

Jera

Did anybody answer my in6's & in7 cry for help while I was gone??

10:01 pm

cbr1965

Sorry Jera - I didn't see it - is it the in's that have to do with what you make in compensation? It is called in____

10:02 pm

cathy22w

i'm sure i do! i have all of the co's except those two....

10:04 pm

mab

Jera - opp. of outgoer

10:04 pm

Jera

It's the in6/18 & in6/30... also in7/44... tough work today!

10:05 pm

cbr1965

the clues we gave you should all be correct

10:06 pm

mab

Sorry, I'm missing the 18 too.

10:06 pm

Jera

Got it, mab, thanks! NowI just need the in6/18...

10:06 pm

cbr1965

pu another letter on you in5/10 to get the 6/18

10:06 pm

Jera

Thanks, cbr... you try so hard to help me! It's a tough job...

10:07 pm

cathy22w

thanks for the clues... will look!

10:07 pm

cbr1965

No sweat - I'm almost through the list and will start asking myself very soon!

10:08 pm

Jera

That's this game... it just gets in6/18 and in6/18...

10:08 pm

cbr1965

LOL

10:08 pm

Jera

I won't finish tonight... 48 to go & my eyelids sare drooping!

10:09 pm

mab

Thanks, cbr. I must be blind.

10:10 pm

Jera

Did anybody get the long me's? I don't have 6/24 & 7/36...

10:10 pm

cbr1965

I have 48 to go too

10:11 pm

mab

A kind of wool Jera.

10:11 pm

cbr1965

It's a kind of wool I think - also the last name of a famous pro quarterback for the Dolphins (I think)named Dan - although spelled with a diff first vowel

10:11 pm

cathy22w

i have 41 little bu**ers

10:11 pm

Jera

I have the Q's, the S's, all but 2 of the R's... the E's H's & I's... if I can help anyone I'd be glad to do it...

10:13 pm

cbr1965

I need loads 'o R's so give me a few minutes and I will post what I have - that would be great

10:16 pm

Jera

How about the pa6/39 & pa6/24?

10:19 pm

cbr1965

I don't have the 6/39 but the other one plays off one of your 4/4 - kind of a "pain" to find it

10:20 pm

mab

One is pa 3/6 - the hurts word - with two consonants tacked on. The other we've seen before, a basket.

10:21 pm

mab

A french basket.

10:23 pm

cbr1965

thanks mab

10:25 pm

Jera

Got it! The 2 consonants clue did it... does anyone have the 24??

10:27 pm

cbr1965

the 24 plays off the pa4/4 - remove the last letter and add a common ending - it will get easier

10:28 pm

Jera

Okay, there can't be a pa4/4...

10:28 pm

cbr1965

I do need the en word, if someone can provide a clue, please!

10:29 pm

cbr1965

sorry - I meant a pa4/6

10:29 pm

Jera

Ask a question, cbr... it has a q in it!

10:30 pm

cbr1965

got it - thanks - Iiked the Q words today - I have a son named Quinn

10:32 pm

Blaze

strange but true need a clue for the er 4/4 word....me thinks I have tried every combo...but alas no word accepted....TIA

10:33 pm

Jera

Whoo-hoo! Thanks!

10:34 pm

cbr1965

it is that same old bird one - I can't remember the crossword clue but it is in every one - sea eagle maybe

10:35 pm

mab

Maybe Ernest was called this for short.

10:37 pm

cbr1965

Along those same lines, I need an as4 and ar4 - anyone?

10:37 pm

Blaze

fantastico thank you.,.....

10:38 pm

cathy22w

as4 - 'A membranous, often club-shaped structure in which typically eight ascospores are formed through sexual reproduction of ascomycetes.'

10:38 pm

cathy22w

is there an ar4? my list doesn't have one!

10:38 pm

Blaze

ac 4/6 think computer language....key board type

10:39 pm

Blaze

NOT ac but as

10:39 pm

cbr1965

No - sorry ar5

10:40 pm

mab

No - ac 4 is a very common land measure.

10:40 pm

Blaze

ar 5/14 according to my list from a post

10:40 pm

cbr1965

You want to laugh, Blaze - I didn't even notice it said ac and got it right away anyhow - thanks

10:40 pm

Blaze

cbr you are a PRO

10:41 pm

cathy22w

ar5 - ar a writing instrument

10:41 pm

mab

The as 4 goes pretty much up the right side.

10:42 pm

Jera

Need op5/20 clues pleas... I'm still ignoring the a's so I'm no help there...

10:43 pm

cbr1965

Jera - what everyone yells at a greek wedding when they break the glasses or a talk show host in Chicago minus a middle letter or colorful fish

10:44 pm

cbr1965

I'm still short 7, count 'em 7, C's so I feel your pain

10:45 pm

Blaze

I'm still struggling with 69 words

10:46 pm

cbr1965

I've got 38 to go

10:47 pm

Jera

I get what you're trying to say, but doesn't add up to 5 letters that I can see...?

10:48 pm

DarleenMB

Jera, make it plural

10:48 pm

Jera

Oh. Duh. Pluralize it...

10:48 pm

Blaze

jeras it is also looks plural

10:48 pm

mab

30 for me.

10:49 pm

cathy22w

i have 8 to go... so if anyone needs help?

10:49 pm

Jera

See, cbr, you've passed me & I've been at this since 7 am (on & off, but still...)!

10:50 pm

cbr1965

I was on last night after the new one posted though

10:51 pm

Jera

Plus I'm on medication. That's been my feeble defense today!

10:51 pm

Jera

Does anyone have that ra6/33?

10:52 pm

cbr1965

cathy if yo can help me blank a couple of letters that would be great - need an or5 ( I have the fat lady) and an ha4 and one na 4 ( I have the neck and mostly vowel)

10:52 pm

cbr1965

add a vowel to your ra5/20

10:53 pm

cathy22w

ra6/33 would be a spanish-sounding salad dressing! the regular ra*** dressing with an o on the end

10:53 pm

cathy22w

the or5 is a plural of the or4/6

10:54 pm

cbr1965

I HATE it when I miss those plurals

10:54 pm

Jera

LOL... I had that one, forgot to write it down...

10:55 pm

Blaze

this is an na that sounds like the guy who built the arc no H

10:56 pm

cathy22w

lol... i did my usual... fouind all the easy ones a few minutes ago in a big word-finding fest! lol

10:56 pm

mab

Jera: when you are very angry with someone you feel ra 6. there is a 'ran' involved, as well as an 'or'

10:58 pm

Jera

Yup that was the 24 pointer... one of my favorite words!

10:58 pm

cbr1965

Oneof my favorites too - I always think I see it in the grid

10:59 pm

Jera

I think I will tackle the C's since it is a higher point than A or N...

10:59 pm

Jera

Did I miss brandyjack's posting of the second letter hint list tonight??

10:59 pm

cathy22w

i am really stuck on an mo6, and those co6 and co7s... blimey...

11:00 pm

cathy22w

jera... i think he posted around 5pm or so?

11:00 pm

cbr1965

I was missing the other or5 too since my o didn't blank if you could be so kind

11:01 pm

mab

In 6, the one with er on the end? Who uses that word? It's my least favorite. Thanks Cathy for the na.

11:02 pm

cbr1965

I have one set of co6 and 7 - how many are there?

11:02 pm

mab

Whales!

11:03 pm

cbr1965

I have that one - it's the other one - I was missing them both - I miscounted
