Dr_God

Blaze-

Hasbro muscled me a little, so I had to make some changes to the tiles so they didn't look so similar to Scrabble tiles.

12:13 am

Blaze

oh my.... another nudge.... Dr_G let me just thank you again for your hard work and giving us this lovely game...

12:13 am

Dr_God

I'm not sure why the Stats Panel hasn't finished yet. It should be done by now. Time to put on my spelunking cap and dive into the bowels of Babble...

12:14 am

Griffums

Sorry you had to deal with that hassle Dr God, thanks for the facelift.

12:14 am

ovest

thank you as well, it's been fun and educational :0)

12:15 am

brandyjack

It's up.

12:15 am

ovest

thank you for all your work too brandyjack, very much appreciated! :0)

12:17 am

Griffums

Props to brandyjack also!

12:17 am

Dr_God

Ok. I gave the stats panel a kick in the pants. It is now ready.

12:18 am

mslars

Thanks you. :-)

12:18 am

Blaze

I am thankful there are no Q's I could not make anything for about 5 minutes...... whew

12:19 am

Debs40ish

O8/50

12:20 am

brandyjack

Not only are there no starters for Q, but no inclusions either.

12:21 am

LeslieAnn

nice red herring... it was the first thing i looked for, too

12:21 am

ovest

awesome! let's here it for lack of qu's :0)

12:21 am

nenaluli

huh. Some of my words are missing in the babblers anonymous 2nd letter clues/

12:22 am

girlfriday

Brandyjack: Went back to look at yesterday's puzzle word lists after it ended and couldn't find the "jewish" words you were talking about...what were they?

12:23 am

brandyjack

I do not recall talking about any Jewish words at all. Must have been someone else......

12:23 am

Blaze

It was jacula

12:24 am

brandyjack

nenaluli, leave me a private message on babblers anon regarding the missing words if they are todays puzzle.

12:24 am

Debs40ish

c/8 50 x 2

12:25 am

mab

Jewish words? I'm a Jew and know of no such things. Hebrew, Yiddish, yes; Jewsh, no.

12:26 am

stillcrazy

I finished all the words from yesterday but my name was not listed anyone know why that is?

12:26 am

girlfriday

I agree, yesterday someone made some comment about "Jewish" words and that it proved something about the puzzle...have no idea what they meant....clearly they think there's a Jewish language....

12:27 am

Griffums

stillcrazy, I had to reload a few times until everybody was there (including me) - and I did see you.

Nenaluli, I see what you mean about the 2nd letter list - I just hit the same problem - have found two words that don't match for point values.

12:39 am

micamonkey

i got the 2 ch 8/50, whats the 3rd c 8/50?
is it also ch?
any hints?

12:39 am

Niamh

Brandyjack I think your word list is probably fine on the word side.... but the points are off... it says us 4/3 - that can't be right!

12:40 am

Debs40ish

12:40 am

brandyjack

Machine crashed earlier, thought I had saved the program. Looks like I didn't. Won't take long to fix.

12:54 am

Griffums

bye Blaze

12:54 am

Niamh

night Blaze!

12:55 am

stillcrazy

thanks Griffum glad I was really there

12:57 am

Griffums

no problem - if I'm stalking you I might as well be helpful in the process

12:57 am

stillcrazy

lol

12:59 am

sherb

Is it just me, or have the points values of the letters also changed? H used to be worth 4 points, not 2, C, M and P were 3, Q was 8, U was 2?

12:59 am

sherb

*U was 1*

1:00 am

Griffums

I was not!
(but yes the pts changed)

1:01 am

Ho Hum

on my grid the qu is showing value 5 at the bottom of the tile not the top right hand corner!

1:01 am

Dayners

the point values have definitly changed. i think i might like the old board better... but maybe it's just because i was used to it.

1:01 am

Niamh

Ho Hum, the new points are supposed to be at the bottom

1:02 am

stillcrazy

Dr. God was forced to get new tiles and unfortunately some have different value

1:02 am

Griffums

Ho Hum - see Dr God post at 12:11

1:02 am

jallen

I liked the old board better too. How many words today?

1:02 am

Niamh

I have some letters that are doing both things... I need to do the force refresh thing (hold alt while refreshing the page)

1:03 am

sherb

oh boy, all that work to find words, and we get fewer points!

with that, I bid you all good day, as work is calling me :)

1:03 am

Ho Hum

ahh thanks griff, only just got here hadn't gone through the logs yet.

1:03 am

stillcrazy

night sherb

1:03 am

Griffums

When work calls, I hang up! (bye)

1:19 am

Griffums

Princezz - try refreshing your screen

1:19 am

Niamh

1:20 am

princezz

1:22 am

ovest

1:40 am

Niamh

1:41 am

zubie

Thanks, Niamh. I hope so, too.

2:09 am

Niamh

only 80 words and I need to sleep. Night all!

2:10 am

Griffums

'night -

2:11 am

sfneil

'Night Niamh! Just got here myself... looks challenging!

2:12 am

mikelina

I am at 70...and nodding off. thanks to all who post hints, I can usually get the words with just the numbers, but the extra little tidbits are great

2:15 am

sprite

Ooopsss... a big one today! And little time, so I shouldn't start... but who am I fooling?
Morning all ;)

2:16 am

sfneil

Hi sprite! Same feeling here... not sure I'll be able to finish this one, but couldn't resist!

2:16 am

Griffums

hi sprite!

2:17 am

sprite

We're a real bunch of addicts, neil ;)

2:17 am

jenwould

hi all. how's everyone doing?

2:18 am

jenwould

been here a little bit, trying to get used to the grid

2:20 am

sprite

Another thumps-up for Dr_God then. He is holding my sanity in his hands every day, I am forever grateful :D

2:20 am

SunnFlower

morning all

2:21 am

sfneil

Hi ferrari!

2:23 am

sprite

Ah, a refresh did show me all the changes, I started with just the Q being different. We'll get used to this as well, no doubt. Let's give it a nice try, I"ll be looking at this grid for some time for sure ;)

2:23 am

SunnFlower

Hi sfneil, what do you think of the new grid? a difference of 206 points( I think)

2:24 am

sfneil

ferrari I seem to have missed some of the significance of the new grid: the look is different, but so is the scoring, then?

2:24 am

sprite

But I do agree this looks very quoeer.

2:25 am

Griffums

*giggle*

2:25 am

sfneil

lol sprite!

2:26 am

zubie

Lol, Sprite. Nice word. :D How are you?

2:26 am

zubie

Higher or lower, Ferrari? The difference, I mean.

2:27 am

sprite

Doing fine, though I should be doing something else than babbling ;)
Never have been much interested in the values, except for when they help me find words, so I don't care the points have changed. Don't like the font, but I am an animal of habit, so I know I will get used to it soon enough.

2:28 am

SunnFlower

m's, c's are now 2, qu used to be 6, h was 4, but I think w is now 5 and I think it used to be 4, how quickly we forget. Thought I'd never get used to this, but after a few mins it seems I will

2:30 am

SunnFlower

yeah sprite, points don't make any difference as long as you know what letter value is

2:30 am

sprite

Tell my little neighbour boy that 'choo' is no word!

2:32 am

jenwould

Thought it was just me that didn't care for the font. The u's and c's esp. oh well, won't keep me from playing though :-)

2:34 am

sfneil

I think it (the font) is hideous, but I gather Hasbro(TM) is nagging Dr God again?

2:35 am

sprite

Yups, they are. Dr_God posted something about it at 12.11 am. It all seems very childish, and I think Dr_God has a great way of handling it.

2:36 am

rosalind230

morning all not a very nie day here today

2:38 am

sprite

You mean the grid, rosalind? Or the weather? Autumn is really setting in here now, storm and rain and flying leaves, but I don't mind. I like the change of seasons, and autumn is my favorite. Hm, in a philosophical way, you could look at the grid like that as well ;)

2:40 am

sfneil

I'm tired and can't be a**ed to go back over the log, but in case anyone doesn't have them: c8/55 & c8/50

2:41 am

rosalind230

the weather it is pouring and really dark. I like the autunm. Have just logged on. How many words are there today/

2:42 am

sprite

Take a deep breath: 254 today.

2:43 am

sprite

I have C8/50 x 2, but I haven't found the 55 yet.

2:43 am

sfneil

plural of c6/27

2:43 am

ovest

sprite, think multiples of 6/27

2:44 am

sprite

*goes hunting for 6/27 now* :)

2:44 am

rosalind230

thats a lot. I will try my best. I have only been doing babble for a week. It is so addictive,

2:44 am

sfneil

and thanks, sprite for the other c8/50!

2:45 am

SunnFlower

we all sing together sprite

2:46 am

Griffums

thanks ferrari!

2:47 am

sprite

That's a great clue and I am sure I know what direction to look, but still not seeing. Oh please, don't let this be one of my blonde days...

2:47 am

SunnFlower

your'e welcome griffums, has anyone got the di8 yet?

2:47 am

Griffums

Handel's "Hallelujah ------"

2:49 am

ovest

add es to your 6/27

2:49 am

sprite

Argh, stupid me! I kept trying to put an i in there somewhere, for people who sing together :(
Definitely too stupid to be blonde today.

2:50 am

Griffums

Also I meant to say awhile ago that no one has mentioned it, but yes there IS a fish in the grid

2:51 am

sfneil

keep trying to turn the d7 into a d8... no luck so far!

2:53 am

rosalind230

Found the fish

2:53 am

zubie

202 down.

2:55 am

sprite

No grid without a fish :)
I submit P9: someone who makes use of a handbag. Won't take, though :(

2:56 am

rolin

ok..im having trouble finding the di6/27 to be able to turn it into a di8

2:57 am

SunnFlower

me too rolin, the di7 doesn't work as sfneil said

2:58 am

rolin

oh ferrari...at least it not just me then..lol

3:01 am

sprite

Ah, found the Di7/36. And you are all right, it can't be made longer. Don't ask me why, they look like perfectly valid words to me. I have no trouble making up defs for them either ;)

3:03 am

sprite

Anyone else for 'recipe' and 'rescues'?

3:03 am

Griffums

I could use a "skip one tile free" card...

3:04 am

sprite

roflol!

3:05 am

rolin

i wanna do secret

3:06 am

GothicAngelMT

a clue for the su 7?

3:10 am

sprite

I haven't found it yet, sorry.

3:11 am

rolin

gotic angel..just found it..its a french on...before a cold weather clothing

3:12 am

GothicAngelMT

Hehe, sprite. I'm trying something new. Working from the end of the double letter list, so I can see the words without having to scroll down and then back up to enter them. Hahaha.

3:13 am

Griffums

Hey, that's a good idea!
OMG, I just thought of something. Wouldn't it be horrid if Babble displayed your word list and also your 'not valid' word list? Tres embarrassing.

3:13 am

sprite

I hardly use the 2nd letter list, but I know there are more people who play from the bottom up. I can't, I love it too much to type words at random, as fast as I see them, until I run dry. ;)

3:15 am

sprite

I wouldn't mind, Griffums ;)
At least I would score points for originality!
It wouldn't hurt if 'asparagus' was in here, btw.

3:17 am

Griffums

Sprite, actually the one I keep seeing is Snuffleupagus.

3:18 am

SunnFlower

What a lovely word griffums, give it a definition and if we all use it enough it'll get in the dictionary!

3:19 am

sprite

You win for originality ;)

3:19 am

jenwould

ok .. I've seen everyone's close but no cigar words except the most recent one from Griffums and Grif, gotta say it... I'm concerned... too much champers or what? and more importantly don't you know you are supposed to share?

3:19 am

Griffums

Oh, it has a definition - it's the wonderful wooly creature from Sesame Street. But I think we should all get the associated 3,942 word points just for discussing it.

3:20 am

Griffums

No champers. Just very late here. And also that I'm neurotic, which is another word I keep seeing.

3:21 am

jenwould

LOL snuffy...I mean griff. I keep seeing census and resurrect....

3:22 am

SunnFlower

and diorama

3:23 am

Griffums

So really we need three stat lists:
My Word List
My Idiot Dope-Slap of a Nonword List
My Word List That Might Have Been

3:24 am

Griffums

suddenly I feel very pensive

3:26 am

sfneil

Oh man, I cannot stop obsessing over this d8... I think I need to go to bed.

3:28 am

zubie

clue for the second co6/21 and the co7 please?

3:29 am

SunnFlower

I've tried every which sfneil but can't find it, it'll either be weird or glaringly obvious!

3:31 am

Griffums

I finally saw the Reese's. Mmmm - fish AND candy! Two great tastes that taste great together!

3:31 am

zubie

*Wails* Help!

3:32 am

sprite

I have only 1 Co6/21 and no 7, zubie, sorry!

3:34 am

SunnFlower

I have 3x co6/21 but they're all plural

3:35 am

Ho Hum

The d8 has not got a definition per say but looks very similar to a word that means "The district or churches under the jurisdiction of a bishop" but the letters are rearranged a bit..... sorry best I can do to help

3:35 am

SweetTooth

Hello everyone. I finally found the D 8/50 - having male reproductive organs in one individual and female in another. Alt spelling.

3:35 am

SunnFlower

sorry 2 are plural and other won't

3:35 am

sprite

But what a nice E7/32-8/45!
Also a similar U6/24. No 7 there, too bad!

3:35 am

zubie

Aww sprite! I was counting on you! ;)

3:36 am

Griffums

Ho Hum, I didn't have that one either so thanks! (And wow - you can almost make that WHOLE word with the arch- prefix - that'd be a whopper for points!)

3:38 am

sprite

I like the O6/27 flower as well.

3:39 am

sfneil

Ugh. Finally found the d8, and am now exhausted. Goodnight everyone.... I'll tackle the other 157(!) words tomorrow!

3:39 am

sprite

Sleep well, neil!

3:40 am

jenwould

griffum...good hint on the a4/6... fish and reeses? love it LOL..was that from the original commercial?

3:40 am

jenwould

sweet dreams of letters and numbers to you Mr. Neil!

3:41 am

SunnFlower

sfneil, you cant go without giving us a clue

3:41 am

Griffums

Yes, in the original commercial it wasn't a chocolate bar accidentally getting into the peanut butter, it was a fish. (The marketing campaign was disappointing.)

3:43 am

SunnFlower

did that ad reach here?

3:43 am

mousakka

any clues for ce 8/50

3:44 am

jenwould

ferrari it was ages ago...

3:44 am

SunnFlower

ce8/50,means hornlike

3:44 am

sfneil

ferrari, here's the best my spent brain can do: ends like "Origin of Sp-----" by Darwin. Starts out with Italian for 'God'

Good luck and goodnight, everyone!

3:45 am

SunnFlower

I'm older than I care to think

3:45 am

Griffums

Jen says 'ages ago' because she's like freakin ELEVEN YEARS OLD or something...

3:45 am

SunnFlower

You are wonderful sfneil, sleep well, LOL

3:46 am

sprite

I'm with you, ferrari. Old as the hills, but hey, we know a lot of words because of that ;)

3:47 am

Griffums

I worship sfneil!

3:47 am

jenwould

grif... I wish 11...that was my last best year. and my age is truthfully displayed on my profile.... you are making me laugh OUT loud for real and my coworker is giving me strange looks. I love it !!!

3:48 am

SunnFlower

sprite, I'm blonde too but a bit of grey is sneaking in

3:48 am

sprite

Neil, sweetheart, thanks a zillion :D
Weird word and strange spelling.

Note to self: There is NO 'N' in this grid!!!!!

3:48 am

Griffums

Oh honey - that was my first worst year, and it hasn't let up since!

3:49 am

Linda0

just logged on for today's babble. don't think i like the new tiles. what does everyone else think?

3:49 am

sprite

I am a brunette, actually... too stupid to be blonde ;)

3:49 am

sprite

Scroll down and you'll know, Linda... Nobody likes it very much, but it can't be helped.

3:50 am

Linda0

can we ask Dr_God to change it back?

3:51 am

SunnFlower

morning linda, I'm used to them already. There's a distinct sniff of deja vous, this is the 2cnd change for me

3:51 am

Griffums

Well, I just have to stop. It's 1 am and I'm exhausted, and I won't have time to get to this much tomorrow if at all, so here ends my winning streak. Boo double hoo.
Goodnight everybody and thanks for the chat!

3:52 am

jenwould

Grif, you've been great tonight, like always, have a wonderfully enchanted rest of your evening.

3:52 am

Saddy

any clue for the 9 words?

3:52 am

Griffums

Thank you. I hope to wake rescued and resurrected, and possibly even asparagused. 'Night.

3:53 am

SunnFlower

You're not stupid spike, just slightly mad like the rest of us.That di8 would seem to be hermaphrodite

3:53 am

SunnFlower

night night griffums

3:54 am

sprite

Slightly mad, I like that!
Griffums, cuddle up to your Snufflearagus and have sweet dreams ;)

But Si5/6 combo sound french :D

4:47 am

GothicAngelMT

moussaka, I was thinking the french word mon*****.

4:47 am

zubie

I meant the other co7 sprite. I have that one.

4:47 am

SunnFlower

co7, there are 2, one means rougher, haven't got the other

4:47 am

sprite

The other is pirate or pirate ship, but it sounds like a plane company.

4:48 am

zubie

Wow! Great clue, sprite! I got it at once! [Little dance; I'm done now and can sleep!]

4:49 am

6:27 am

Bobsta

cathy: yes and it tastes gorgeous

6:28 am

cathy22w

sounds great... i was back in england recently, and one of the things i just had to do was go for an indian - boring old chicken tikka masala but it tasted great!

6:30 am

SunnFlower

Hope it went ok cathy, a sad time for you

6:30 am

Bobsta

bubbles-1 would only eat chicken korma until i introduced her to the world of my mums cooking. now we have to eat it all the time. I wouldn't mind but i was brought up on it.

6:31 am

jooboz

Don't forget the kebab we had Cath!

6:31 am

cathy22w

ferrari... it was actually lovely to see everyone after 18 months away - sad as it was, it was also a good time.

6:32 am

A silver linling, that's good

6:40 am

zoom

just tipped the 100 mark - thought it was going too well, i've stalled now. any clues for the 7s or 8s by chance?

6:40 am

SunnFlower

yes frances cos I've got the flesh one, the fish one eludes me

6:41 am

cathy22w

zoom... not as often as i would like... i get quite homesick! the dollar is awful against the pound, so it is really expensive

6:41 am

Frances

ferrari
go up the right

6:41 am

SunnFlower

zoom see 3.44 for the di8 , sfneil's good clue

6:42 am

cathy22w

jooboz... ah yes, the kebab - i ate that whilst horizontal, if i remember

6:43 am

SunnFlower

thankyou frances, I'm so excited now (it doesn't take much)

6:44 am

jooboz

That was nothing to do with me. Your choice to start with beer, move on to JD and THEN have Pernod...

6:44 am

Frances

ferrari
know just how you feel I get the long words and struggle with the four letter ones

6:45 am

cathy22w

ah... but did i open the wine when we got to the house? hmmmmmmmmmm?

6:45 am

cathy22w

frances - i wish i had that feeling

6:45 am

Bobsta

ooh!! pernod JD mix, not good

6:45 am

jooboz

*jooboz shuts up*

6:46 am

Frances

cathy22w
some peolpe are soooooo easy to please!

6:47 am

6:47 am

cathy22w

lol frances

6:47 am

zoom

thanks ferrari - i got a di7 from that- still looking for the 8.

6:47 am

cathy22w

actually, jooboz, i think i may still have a hangover

6:48 am

Bobsta

did you get to try JD & Red Bull Cathy?

6:49 am

sherribaby501

these new tiles are confusing

6:49 am

cathy22w

bobsta - i saw some people drinking the vodka and red bull thing, and it crossed my mind, but i get a bit dodgy with caffeine as it is and so i thought i'd better leave it. i love red bull, though

6:49 am

jooboz

Bobsta - are you crazy? Red Bull gives you wings. And means you can't sleep for about 3 weeks

6:51 am

cathy22w

so, joo, what's that thing on your icon? it doesn't look like guinness to me

6:52 am

jooboz

The sign for Virgo. Should I make it Guinness then?

6:52 am

Bobsta

don't blame you cathy, you've missed a treat though.
jooboz: you mean you've never tried it? its yum. it tastes a bit like refreshers. admittedly it IS a bit difficult to get to sleep afterwards though!!!

6:52 am

Hugabugs

I'm confused... how come the letter values have changed?

6:54 am

cathy22w

ha, hugabugs... didn't notice that

6:54 am

sherribaby501

Dr God said it was only a cosmetic change. I don't like though. Now the numbers are just as obvious as the letter so I have to really look for words...I'M CHALLENGED ENOUGH AS IT IS :)

6:54 am

Atalante

I'm crawling off back to bed for a bit. The new colours are making my eyes all swimmy and I do *not* want another migraine!

joelgee

oy!

6:57 am

Bobsta

before i go, i couldn't see what you guys meant about the letters so i changed to internet explorer and i see what you mean. the letters still look like they did before if you use firefox, its faster too.

6:58 am

SunnFlower

now I know babble eats words, mustn't have had the cursor( or should that be curser,b***** ) in the right place

6:58 am

Hugabugs

Bobsta, I use Firefox and the letters are different and valued differently also

6:59 am

Atalante

they've changed in FF too, if you force refresh the page ...

7:00 am

EvaNadine

mornin all...
im liking the makeover to the tiles -- makes it easier to see the numbers so maybe now i will have fewer math mistakes when babbling...hehe

7:00 am

Bobsta

ah, i didn't do a force refresh.
my bad, see ya later guys.

7:01 am

zoom

bye bobsta - thanks for the keema:)

7:01 am

Hugabugs

but the values have changed so drastically... U's are 2 points now? C and M only 2? H only 2? argh... this is changing the point value completely. I've got to learn a whole new way of Babbling this way.

7:02 am

shorty

i dont like these tiles all i see is #'s ahhhhhhhhhhhh

7:02 am

cathy22w

changed to firefox and it's better

7:05 am

I can't believe rasa isn't part of this puzzle... as in "tabula rasa".

9:04 am

Lupe613

oh, I do not like this new look - giving me a headache... what happened? more threats from mattel?

9:04 am

Hugabugs

from Hasbro! :o(

9:05 am

Lupe613

hugabugs - are you serious? I guess the last batch of changes wasn't enough? Goofs!

9:07 am

GothicAngelMT

I think the threats are stupid... so what if the tiles looked like a popular word game? If anything it would make linguiphiles like us want to buy the games.

9:07 am

Hugabugs

He even had to change the tile counts

9:12 am

Lupe613

I guess their legal department has nothing better to do.

9:13 am

RAHRAH

Hi: I am rather new at this game. What does it mean when you get the Qu in the corner? How can that be used? Thanks Rah Rah

9:20 am

begrery

welcome rahrah, the qu isnt used today, so it just is taking up the space.

9:20 am

Haz1558

Normally the qu is followed by the rest of the word. In today's case, the qu doesn't begin any word.

9:20 am

Lupe613

Good job begrery - have a good day!

di 7/36 think catholic church terms

11:55 am

EthieKid

Shorty, di8/50, WorldlyWise had the best clue I can think of. I can't even find that exact word in a dictionary, but if you keep playing with the last few letters you'll get it. It's pronounced almost like the di7/36.

11:58 am

madhatter

12:01 pm

robert240

what about the di9?

12:02 pm

madhatter

it's interesting that when you click the ? for a definition of the d8 word it asks you if you mean the d9 word that isn't in the puzzle!

12:02 pm

Sign

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't the Di 8/50 a group of churches?

12:06 pm

Doll414

ovest - one is a 6/21 with another letter at the end and the best I can do on the other is a letter change on an old Chevy model that Ralph Nader didn't like

12:07 pm

goddessdeath

DI 8/50 =
(Ronnie James) DI_ (formerly in Black Sabbath, then headed his own rock/metal group)
+
(the human) sp_ _ _ _ _

12:07 pm

but that would be corneous

12:08 pm

e_gurl85

errggg this is irritating i dont know what you peoples clues mean i feel stupid

12:09 pm

ovest

pleeeeze don't feel stupid egurl! i don't understand many clues either, simple is as simple does.............

12:10 pm

goddessdeath

All the _ that I put in my clue are letters you need to form the word. The first three letters of the DI 8/50 word is DI__. You need to find one letter to insert there and add it to the second part of the clue I gave to make one long word.

12:13 pm

Kallia

gooddess Thank you...I have been struggling with that for ages!!!!

12:14 pm

no problem

12:14 pm

e_gurl85

i cant help it this game makes ya feel like i did not get enough education or something

12:15 pm

Doll414

e_gurl - just keep working at it you'll eventually find they are easier than they look - sometimes just think outside the box and use the letter counts

12:16 pm

ovest

egurl, lol! understand completely, i loved english but this game really challenges me and i need lots of help. go to http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/ find the dictionary part where you can type in the first two letters of your word and then add up to how many letters in that series and it'll spit out more words than you can shake a stick at, usually very helpful.

12:16 pm

e_gurl85

Doll i do and i been playing for months and i has not gotten much easier

12:16 pm

FINNALLY I GOT IT PHEW

12:18 pm

e_gurl85

i already used that lol thats somewhat cheatin and doesnt make the game much fun i like to figure clues and stuff

12:18 pm

Doll414

e_gurl - ovest gave you a really good idea and don't forget to check out what the words mean and sometimes they really will stick in your brain

12:18 pm

ovest

i agree to the cheatin, on the hard ones thou sometimes it's hard to see you've been looking so long for 'em

12:20 pm

e_gurl85

yeah i use it but i try to find what i can first

ok, i've been thinking on companion for co 6/24 and my little ol brain is wore out, anyone have another clue for simple me?

12:23 pm

ovest

dj, u r awesome, thank you!!!!

12:23 pm

EvaNadine

heh, new tiles, most definitely.
tough puzzle today though.

12:24 pm

CO 6/24 = CO + change a vowel in a word meaning injured
Also, think of what you would call someone's friends or fellow troublemakers, maybe.

hope that helps

12:24 pm

ovest

thanks goddess!

12:24 pm

mtnjock

Eva, Do you think he will give us the option or a vote, these are just hard to read for me (I know, whine whine...)

12:24 pm

EasternBlue

mtnjock - it's a result of Hasbro(tm) for stating the tiles looked too much like Scrabble(tm) tiles...

12:25 pm

EvaNadine

mtnjock -- i know Dr God had to change the tiles a while back for legal reasons, so i suspect this is more of the same...

12:25 pm

mtnjock

I figured it was something along those lines...

Evadine, I also teach at a dance studio

12:56 pm

EvaNadine

12:56 pm

lola100

12:57 pm

Kit_ty

Hi everyone........I just signed up for babble pro...where are the clues that are sometimes posted here? Any help is appreciated...thanks...:)

12:57 pm

PowerPlant

Anj I love the icon

12:58 pm

Anj

Cheers Power :)

Kit-ty - the stats are on EXB which is the Babblers Anonymous link on the right. Clues are posted as required, when requested, or because one of us feels the insatiable urge to share the love :)

12:59 pm

Schroeder

I teach all those, this year I have 3 hip hop classes. Not my specialty after a few conventions I'm getting better

1:00 pm

Kit_ty

That's cool Anj, thanks...one more question, for now anyway, how can I get an icon?

1:00 pm

EvaNadine

we are just a small hometown team so i dont really have much opportunity to learn new stuff myself...and i know my technique is VERY rusty...
but i still know what its *supposed* to look like, so i know how to pull it out of the girls.
:)

1:01 pm

Judi

Hi all. Bashing away at the board today. Stumped by the Ce8-50. I have all the other C8s. Any clues??

1:01 pm

Anj

Kit_ty - best to use Google Image search, or at least that's where I've found most of mine.

1:02 pm

lola100

Hi judi :)

1:02 pm

mtnjock

ok, when did the H become only worth 2 (Dang Hasbro (tm))

1:02 pm

Anj

Judi, it's all in the bottom left hand corner :)

1:02 pm

Schroeder

My town is barely on the map so I understand.
We travel to the bay area to take classes. I am taking 75 kids in 2wks to Disneyland to perform. (about 8hr drive)

1:03 pm

madhatter

Judi .... it means horn like ?

1:03 pm

Anj

Hey babe - feels like a job well done then?? Did anyone notice apart from Izzy???

1:03 pm

Kit_ty

Thanks for your help Anj...I've only played Babble a few times and I'm already addicted!! So much for housework and hot meals at my house, unless someone else does it...LOL

1:03 pm

ScoutsMom

Mtn, it happened while you weren't looking. Also, we added a bunch of "g" words for fun. Then we all ate some Marmite sandwiches.

1:03 pm

madhatter

but sounds like it could be connected to a robotic brain???

1:03 pm

Anj

lol - welcome to the Babbleberse Kit_ty :)

1:04 pm

EvaNadine

very cool!
this is only my 3rd year teaching and i dont have any competition kids this year, so i dont really get to take them anywhere...my pom class last year competed, but it was a rough year for them...heh

1:05 pm

Anj

Why, if this is only a game, to Hasbro feel the need to recalculate tile values in line with letter usage?
This is not a virtual reality NASA simulation - it's meant to be fun.

1:05 pm

Schroeder

Our routine for Disney is a pom. Kids from 5 to 45. (can you hear me scream)

1:05 pm

lola100

Yeah, looking forward to banishing the constuction site chic I've been living with/in the past few weeks. Well, there was no cooked meal ready and waiting so....
Missed you babe :')

1:06 pm

mtnjock

ScoutsMom, what EVER you have gotten into at work, please share some with me later on tonight, I could use the release.

1:06 pm

EvaNadine

5 to 45?
yipes!

1:06 pm

Anj

Eva...please tell me that says POM class. It's a little difficult to read...

1:06 pm

Judi

Anj & Madhatter - your clues made no sense, but I found the word anyway. Oy. ;-)

1:07 pm

Anj

Awwww *Anj hugs Lola* missed you too :')

1:07 pm

mtnjock

ANJ, you read it that way TOO?!?!?!? I was about to ask how her fiance felt about her giving that class.

1:08 pm

Anj

Mtn, it must be the font. I nearly choked on a peanut M&M...

1:09 pm

ScoutsMom

Mtn, I'm in meetings all day (lunch break right now) and I'm trying to kill time between communiques from G. It's a long stretch of time from now until Saturday. Too long! Too long! I'll do anything to make the time go faster, including (apparently) drink my weight in coffee.

1:09 pm

mtnjock

I mean, re-read the message, "it was a rough class for them"

1:09 pm

Anj

...oh boy. Me next with the plural fish whoever's got it... *sigh*

1:09 pm

madhatter

judi - as long as you found it .... soz the clue's didn't help

1:09 pm

lola100

LOL! Well I had to read it three times before I figured out what you two were on about! Must be a guy thing! ;)

1:10 pm

ScoutsMom

Lola, I'm sorry. It's not a guy thing. Perhaps for me it's a "hanging out with Mtnjock too often" thing. I don't know what Anj's excuse is, though.

1:10 pm

Anj

*Anj wipes tears of laughter from his face*
Mtn..I hadn't read that far :D

1:11 pm

EthieKid

Judi, now that you found the Ce8-50, care to share a clue?

1:12 pm

mtnjock

EVA, thank you for the smile of the day!! It may have to replace Jera's quote in my profile.

1:12 pm

Anj

Scouts, I fear it might be tile-induced myopia ::)

1:12 pm

Anj

Mtn, I think you should have them both...

1:13 pm

EvaNadine

HAHA...yes, it is a POM class.
and its a bf, not yet a fiance.
;)

1:13 pm

ScoutsMom

Okay. lunch break is over. See you guys later if I get another break. If not, call me later, Mtn.

1:13 pm

mtnjock

Gotcha! Will do

1:13 pm

Anj

Thanx EvaN...and bigger thanx for the yuk :)

1:14 pm

mtnjock

Did you meet him in POM class?

1:14 pm

lola100

LOL!!!!

1:14 pm

EvaNadine

and if it were the other type, i think the BF might want private lessons.
;)

1:18 pm

Judi

Ce8-50: The only clue I could find...
"Similar to a horn; hornlike".

1:19 pm

EvaNadine

but judi -- neither "anj" or "mtnjock" are Ce8...

1:19 pm

Judi

Need clues for the last two 8s.
Need Er8-45 and O8-50.

1:21 pm

mtnjock

judi, plural of your er7, meaning non - stabile

1:21 pm

Judi

That's because hornlike and horny are not the same, Evanadine.

1:21 pm

EvaNadine

ahhh....
;)

1:22 pm

mtnjock

ROFLMAO

1:22 pm

Anj

LOL!

1:22 pm

madhatter

er8 is a plural of er7

for the o8 think plural of a flower

1:23 pm

Judi

Um, the only Er7 I have is the one relating to sex/love...horniness, whatever.

1:24 pm

macadam

Could someone solve the mystery of the hi8/50 for me.A clue would really help.

1:24 pm

mtnjock

add a 2nd r, drop o, use the a

1:25 pm

Anj

...and excuse ME Mr Enable dictionary but ythe horny er6 plus 'ise' is a boner fide word. So there :P

1:25 pm

Anj

...pun intended :)

1:26 pm

Judi

Thank you. I was totally missing the 2nd R at the bottom of the puzzle. Macadam - think pecking order for the Hi8.

1:27 pm

lola100

Hi mom :)

1:27 pm

mtnjock

Judi, I had been seeing a different form of the er word, when I stumbled on it. That and the ch8/55

1:28 pm

mu

Macadam think of one who inherits and top room of house and you should fine the hi 8

1:28 pm

Judi

And finally, the O8-50? Anyone? Anyone?

1:28 pm

Anj

Hi Macadam :)

1:28 pm

1:31 pm

1:33 pm

Judi

Flower? What flower?

1:34 pm

mtnjock

No, mamabear, just ANJ and I needing larger fonts and confusing words...

1:34 pm

mamabear

should I just try and get this infamous hi8 out of the way first? Don't get any of the clues though....

1:34 pm

Bobsta

hey Lola :)

1:34 pm

Anj

Hi Mamabear. I think the jury's still out on whether it's the words or the new tiles that are giving us gyp :/

1:34 pm

mtnjock

Judi, think funerals, black or****

1:34 pm

mousakka

"...I'm not off for anywhere at all. Sometimes I wander out of beaten ways Half looking for the or6 Calypso."

1:36 pm

Judi

mamabear

4:20 pm

ScoutsMom

schroeder: did you say...no, wait, that's POMS. whew!

4:20 pm

MissJen

lola100

I'm going to be a while yet babe. Seems thoughts of a car are distracting me a bit tonight....

4:34 pm

mu

Anj did you find this one easy or is it cos I's senile and thick I didn't like it very much ? Not finished yet either

4:35 pm

Anj

Mu, I didn't use a2z at all. Looked in a dictionary for a few spellings. Found at least 2 good words which Enable is rejecting, and monkeyed the rest.
It's getting harder to noodle now a lot of the tile values are the same tho...

4:36 pm

Blaze

Mu I do not know about anj but I find this one mind boggling too..... I think it is that the letters in the grid are a less common combination... but thanks to no Q it is bearable------LOL

4:36 pm

Mishele507

what is a2z?

4:36 pm

Anj

Lo...warm leather seats too :)

4:36 pm

Blaze

did the tile values change.... I was wondering that..??

4:37 pm

Mishele507

4:40 pm

brandyjack

It most certainly is on Babblers Anon. Thought I might have goofed, but I checked and it is there.

4:40 pm

Mishele507

4:40 pm

Niamh

brandyjack

Actually, id9/66 is on the list. There is no ID with a score of 9 though...

4:41 pm

speedfreak

Finding this one difficult..have to resort to a2z think with these high winds won't have power too much longer...

4:41 pm

just*me

mishele- I googled his exact definition and found ID9

4:41 pm

MissJen

ID9 worked for me

4:41 pm

Yoink

Yep, that's their name, it's indie pop, light hearted stuff for when you need to pretend it's still summer.

4:42 pm

myownvenus

It is on the list ... and it is the only 9 letter word... thanks BJ

4:42 pm

Mishele507

So now we just need to figure out what the hell it is
HELP lol

4:42 pm

MissJen

i found DI7 but DI8 is NOT plural DI7? is that right?

4:43 pm

mu

Anj: I must be honest and admit I still resort to AtoZ quite a bit. The old grey cells won't recall at will nowadays, but I am using ti less than I did. (is that good?) lol

4:43 pm

Anj

Cheers Yoink - will give them a spin.
May I recommend Joydrop in return?

4:43 pm

MissJen

4:43 pm

HI everyone. I've come in a 178 words (had a busy day!) Seems I caused some confusion the other day by saying I could see Jewish words in a grid. What I *should* have said was I can 'see' Jewish words.:-( Can I make up for it by offering anyone a portion of today's cooking? Got Banoffee Cream Pie, apple turnovers and chocolate crunchies (see recipe for that at SWMBO's). Think there's a slice or two of chocolate mint cheesecake left, too.

Thanks Anj, got the di8 (PHEW!!!) and naturally it has no definition.

As to the ro4/4, I have the roll call, the fish eggs and the sound of a crowd, there is one more lacking, any hints?

6:49 pm

Jacula

Will do Atalante.:-)

6:50 pm

Jacula

I haven't got the di8 yet.:-(

6:50 pm

Anj

Talking of liquor, one of my regular pubs in Bath used to specialise in flavoured vodkas. Dime Bar, Mini Eggs, Peaches'n'Cream, Mint Choc...even, get this, vindaloo!

6:50 pm

Atalante

ro4/4 - no definition in dictionary.com - but take your roll call and change the last letter

6:51 pm

Anj

Swimmy, try changing your roll call from an A to an i

6:51 pm

swmbo

Anj is right, the di8 doesn't look rioght and it has no difinition. But his clue will give it to you if you follow the instructions EXACTLY LOL

6:53 pm

Jacula

Vindaloo Vodka? YUK! This reminds me, I have been searching for recipes for a Christmas meal to knock 'em dead (not literally!) for a Sikh friend of mine. Her family are vegetarians but the grandparents are lacto-vegetarians (no dairy products or eggs eaten) and the grandfather is also diabetic. Most suitable recipes I can find are Indian meals. LOL. But my friend wants a proper Christmas meal as far as she can do it. Any suggestions will be gratefully recieved on my Recipe thread at SWMBO's.

6:54 pm

Anj

Swimmy, i'm sure there's a 36 word tiddler in the grid software somewhere lol :) Have fun.

6:55 pm

swmbo

Oh, no that would be too short. About 150 words is ideal, I think...

6:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:57 pm

Anj

7:08 pm

Jacula

Thanks, Atalante. I'll check that site out later.

7:09 pm

Atalante

Thanks :) I'll send that link on to her as well, though she probably knows the site inside-out already! Thank goodness for ready availability of gluten-free and milk-free stuff nowadays, or else I don't think she'd eat!

7:10 pm

Jo

LOL! no kidding, you kind find just about anything these days if you live in a metropolitian area.

7:10 pm

Anj

Jac, i'm trying to grade curries without mixing up cooking styles... Would you agree with (in order of mild to nuke) masala, tikka, korma, madras, vindaloo, tindaloo, phaal?

7:11 pm

Jo

Mmmm, spicy food. Indian food. I could go for some masala right about now.

7:11 pm

Anj

peri, that or8 - take your or6 flower, knock off the D and drop a 3 letter (sounds like plural) ending on it

7:11 pm

Jacula

Anj - I'd agree mostly, but Korma's the mildest to me (because of the coconut, I think).

7:12 pm

katiecat

7:14 pm

kkeegs

the only 8 letter word I found is choruses, can any1 give me a list of the a words?

7:14 pm

Jacula

In all honesty, like Temple Owl, I'm not that fond of burningly hot curry myself, or even too hot a chilli con carne, but curry SMELLS so wonderful! I do a mean beef or chicken Madras, but a milder, fruity version an neighbour in the road where I grew up taught me. She had been in the army in India for many years before marrying and settling down, and had concocted her own version.

7:14 pm

Jo

ooo, I don't know that one, Anj. maybe I can fume too! ;-p

7:14 pm

Anj

kkeegs - click on the Babblers Anonymous link to the right (bottom of the Friends of Babble list) and looking under the General heading for the daily stats list. Complete breakdown there :)

7:15 pm

Jacula

7:16 pm

kkeggs, would you mind not posting actual words in the log!

7:16 pm

kkeegs

I don't have babble pro, it isn't on normal babble

7:16 pm

Jo

You bet I will! I'm using some of the pieces to go with my son as a traditional vampiress, and he'll be a vampire. He's very excited :-)

7:17 pm

Jacula

Anyone know where I can get black lace material with spiders and webs on it? ASDA have the most wonderful black and red Hallowe'en dress in stock but it's for up to 8-year-olds.:-(

7:17 pm

Jo

Did that makes sense? We have "adult" costume, and trick or treating costume. LOL

7:18 pm

Jacula

Been to Smiffy's have you, Jo? :-) Great place for costumes and wigs etc.

7:18 pm

Jo

You don't need babble pro - kkeegs. There is a hyperlink to the far right of the grid, under the title "friends of babble." Anyone can access the message board.

7:18 pm

Jacula

Yes, Jo, I get your drift.;-)

7:19 pm

Jo

I don't know that one, I ordered parts online, and the rest from a party / costume store.

7:19 pm

Atalante

get some black netting material and plonk some toy spiders and glue some webs onto it with fabric paint / fabric glue stuff

7:19 pm

Jo

OOoooo. Got the id9! Yea!

7:19 pm

Anj

kkeegs - I didn't realise that - try this:

make sure there are no spaces when you paste it into the browser as the log splits words greater than 30 characters long

7:21 pm

kkeegs

Anj thanks for the help1!!

7:21 pm

Jacula

I could do, Atalante, but the material on the kiddy's dress is so nice, I'm almost tempted to buy a few of them and cut them up to make an adult-sized dress.

7:23 pm

Atalante

he he good idea! asda kiddie clothes are lovely, though I haven't seen that one yet

7:24 pm

Anj

Jac, you could just squeeze into the kiddies dress. I'm sure Paul will thank me for that suggestion ;)

7:24 pm

Jacula

Atalante - It's a Gothic style dress in red satin with a middle inlet and cuffs of the black web and spider lace.

7:25 pm

Jacula

Yea, I could do, Anj! ROFLOL. He probably will thank you for that suggestion.;-)

My present kitchen is cream, hint of lemon (more nicotine these days - must wash walls!), burnt orange and forest (Mini Cooper) green. Sounds horrible but looks good.

8:58 pm

Anj

oh right...sorry, brain is off on one. Hope she's ok...

9:00 pm

Jacula

What me and my daughter (aged 18) would like to know is why aren't 'resit' and 'resat' allowed? It's what happens to you when you have to retake exams at college or uni!

9:01 pm

ovest

ok, hate to seem dense but now that i've got an education on barbary pirates and thomas jefferson, i'm still blinking................

9:01 pm

Niamh

I've noticed that quite a few words in my unabridged dictionary are not allowed in this game

9:02 pm

Jacula

What are you blinking over Ovest? A co7/32 by any chance?

9:02 pm

ovest

yes, jacula, quite :o)

9:02 pm

Niamh

ovest... did you figure out the word or are you blinking because you didn't figure out the word?

9:02 pm

Anj

ovest - Google Vought A7 :)

9:02 pm

Charm

Pirate - sounds like your rough + oxygen to breathe

9:03 pm

9:04 pm

ovest

Anj!! t/y oh so very much

9:05 pm

ovest

and a big t/y to all you wonderful people so willing to help.......

9:05 pm

Jacula

Anj - just \Googled that myself to see what you were on about, even though I'd got that word anyway! Good clue! Prob. for me is, whenever I see that word I keep thinking Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Carribean. PHWOAR! Oh God! P's gonna kill me! LOL.

9:07 pm

ovest

Niamh, great clue, thanks 2 u2!

9:07 pm

Niamh

so ovest do you sew a lot of quilts? hand sewn or machine? either way that's a wonderful trait!

9:07 pm

onyx

what's up with the new letters?

9:07 pm

jooboz

Helloo all. Only two to get. Simply can not see that di8, and can't find the ur5/12 either. Ideas anyone?

9:08 pm

Niamh

your welcome ovest... glad you figured that out!

9:08 pm

ovest

Niamh, machine, i'd never finish if it was by hand, however i do hand applique as well. very rewarding. a friend said great way to use scraps! ha, gr8t way to spend lots of money is more like it. but their heirlooms so that's ok.

9:09 pm

Jacula

Onyx - New letters are because Dr_God got hassled by hasbro again.

9:10 pm

Niamh

very cool, also a great way to relax, I've been trying to teach myself how to knit, that's fun too

9:10 pm

onyx

thanks jacula, my eyes had trouble seeing at the begining

9:11 pm

boreetos

bbl. stupid work...

9:11 pm

Jacula

ovest - I used to do applique and patchwork back in the 70s. Shouldn't cost you more than the cotton to sew 'em up with, oh and the padding if you need any.

9:11 pm

ovest

Niamh, do you quilt? i tried knitting when my youngest was 2, not a good idea, haven't tried since, 18 yrs later. would love to learn though.

9:12 pm

Niamh

I have tried to do some quilting, I'm not very good at it though. I sew a lot and crochet.

9:12 pm

Jacula

Knitting's easy, as it crochet. I notice both are coming back 'into fashion' again. Embroidery will be the next thing to come back into fashion.

9:12 pm

ovest

jacula, well these days there's much more expense. i do the top and my creativity gets bored after that so i pay to have them quilted, big$$$$. basically a dbl size quilt can cost about 250-over 400 by the time your done.

9:13 pm

Jacula

Are you in USA Ovest?

9:13 pm

Niamh

I can do some embroidering, I've been teaching myself that too.... books are wonderful things

9:14 pm

ovest

the biggest thing to quilting is an accurate seam, if you want to learn i would highly recommend a class and a small quick project so you feel good about the accomplishment

9:14 pm

Jammersbabe

any clues for co 7/32?

9:14 pm

ovest

jacula, yes, is it cheaper there? i pay anywhere from 8-12.00 a yard for fabric.

9:15 pm

ovest

hand embroidery or machine?

9:15 pm

Niamh

Jammersbabe, there are two co 7/32's one is the one we were just talking about and the other means rougher

9:15 pm

Jacula

I hand-knitted a poncho for a friend in New York earlier in the year for her birthday. It was a great hit over there, but, when we enquired if her friends wanted copies, they weren't prepared to pay the price for materials, work and postage. Oh well, if they want inferior work from chain stores, fair play to them but my friend's poncho will outlive both of us.

9:15 pm

sweetie

hey Jammersbabe, think of WWII fighter planes

9:15 pm

Niamh

hand... it's rewarding but painstaking

9:16 pm

Jacula

Ovest - I was talking about hand embroidering. I can't see the point in machine embroidering, unless for profit.

9:17 pm

Anj

Jac, nothing like a swing in the rigging dear :)

Right, I need to sleep :) Have fun y'all. Back tomorrow, er today... lol :)

9:17 pm

Jacula

Ovest - I have no idea what it would cost to have quilt-stuffing done here in UK. I've always done it all myself. Sorry!

9:17 pm

Niamh

my mom bought a machine that embroiders for her... I think she has more trouble with it than I've ever had with my little needle!

9:18 pm

ovest

jacula, i agree, people aren't willing to pay for quality and it's a shame

9:19 pm

Jacula

Night Anj. Sweat dreams. LOL.

9:19 pm

ohromujici

Good night, Anj. Sweat dreams.

9:19 pm

ovest

Niamh, the cool thing with hand is all the dimensional you can add, especially with ribbons. I have done both, i like the artistry of hand much better

9:19 pm

Niamh

I started doing a lot of my own sewing because I didn't want to pay for the poor quality they sell in the stores

9:20 pm

Jacula

Well. Ovest, it's a buy now pay later, cut and run, throwaway society now. No 'make do and mend' or companies that take pride in the length of time their products last (no profit in that).:-(((

9:20 pm

ovest

Niamh, i agree, it's getting harder and harder to find nice quality clothing, besides the embellishments make it unique as well

9:21 pm

Niamh

I haven't tried using ribbon... good idea (the book I'm learning from is really really old, I wonder if they had ribbon back then? lol)

9:21 pm

ovest

what's sad is you pay cheap you get cheap and it won't last.

9:22 pm

ohromujici

Good night all. I am wimping out at 100 words, again.

9:22 pm

Dr_God

So does everyone still hate the new tiles? :)

9:22 pm

ovest

check out the library for ribbon embroidery or go online to half.com, the books are very reasonable. I'm sure they had ribbon but it was probably too spendy. you can do all kinds on wonderful flowers and such with ribbon.

9:22 pm

Jacula

Maybe if the companies that makes clothes showed their employees how to sew a straight seam and how to FINISH OFF, we might have clothes that last. Lessons in how to sew on a button properly might also be in order. Forgive me the rant; my grandfather (who taught me to sew) was a master tailor and theatre costume maker.

9:23 pm

hethur240

i'm not sure if i hate the new tiles or not. i just logged on and the score for each letter is distracting me.

9:23 pm

robert240

any hints for ANY of the es's??? please heelp me!!!

9:23 pm

sweetie

Looks good to me, any way to make them interactive? i.e. press a letter get a letter?

9:23 pm

ohromujici

Hi God. I don't hate them but I like the old ones better.
-Ohromujici

9:23 pm

Niamh

hate is a very strong word Dr God... I don't like them... at all!

9:23 pm

onyx

me too

9:23 pm

ovest

jacula, what an awesome heritage! i just bought new towels and after one washing the seams are coming undone and they were expensive! go figure!

9:23 pm

scsongbird1

HATING the new tiles...distracting.

9:24 pm

eggtoni

Change is good.

9:24 pm

Jacula

Hi Jamie, erm, Dr_God. I can get used to the tiles. If you're getting hassle from hasbro I can even deal with round or triangular tiles if necessary. It's not a prob. Keep on keeping on!

9:24 pm

Charm

Dr_God - it takes a little getting used to,but we're loyal, faithful, addicted babblers.

9:24 pm

ovest

well i've only played a week so the new tiles aren't bothering me. thanks for all your work

9:26 pm

Jammersbabe

Got the co 7/32 (pirate) Looking for the other

9:26 pm

Dr_God

I came up with another design, and remarkably jen came up with the exact same design. So I think I'll try switching them again. I agree with most of you - the numbers are just too distracting.

9:27 pm

Jacula

Torgone! May your nose grow long! You could never leave the tiles! (Not without trying to find words from them.) ROFLOL.

9:27 pm

robert240

charm dear, are these the es's??

9:27 pm

hethur240

i agree with sweetie about making the tiles interactive. when i first started babbling i wanted to click the tiles to make my words. i must really be getting lazy if i dont want to take my hand off the mouse to type!!!

9:27 pm

Jacula

So, what's the new design, Dr_God?

9:28 pm

Charm

Robert, love, yes. I think there are 13 e's.

9:28 pm

torgone

You're right as always, Jac .. I'll never leave them .. But, yeah, the numbers could be less conspicuous ..

9:28 pm

Jacula

Interactive tiles? Oh my goodness!

9:28 pm

robert240

ty all
and for the record, i like the new letters dr.

9:28 pm

marigold

yes the numbers are to distracting

9:29 pm

Jacula

I write the grid down on paper anyway - a capital letter and a number down at the right. Makes no diff. to me in the end. LOL.

9:30 pm

Jacula

There's a * in the top r/h corner to show any tiles no words come from (in my written grid).

9:32 pm

sweetie

Well, it's just a thought. But being some-what experienced with HTML/JAVA/PHP it really wouldn't be that difficult to attach the image of the tile to the keypad. But like I said, it's only a suggestion. I think Dr_God is doing a fantastic job with this and we all owe our thanks. <clapping>....</clapping>

9:32 pm

hethur240

i never thought of doing that...sure would make things easier since i'm always trying to make words come from the letters that are useless only to remind myself minutes later to leave that letter alone!

9:34 pm

Jacula

Personally, I think interactive tiles would spoil the fun.

9:34 pm

Blaze

I have just come in to this conversation... I like the good old type it in method....(ducking the haddock)... the new tiles are a bit NEW -- I someitmes wonder if this is a psychological experiment.... (oooo)

9:35 pm

9:35 pm

robert240

i must have total brain blockage for the es's

9:35 pm

9:35 pm

robert240

anjel. . . for the ao word, listen to your HEART

9:35 pm

Niamh

ao word had to do with the heart

9:36 pm

Jacula

Blaze - glad to catch up with you. Was it you I confused a day or so ago by sayin I'd seen Jewish words in the grid? I should have said I had 'seen' Jewish words in the grid. They weren't actually there! Sorry about that.

9:36 pm

Blaze

Now getting the word list to move indepentantly of the grid would be greatly appreciated....

9:37 pm

9:44 pm

would someone mind telling me how the player rankings are pointed, i read what's on the page but......

9:45 pm

Charm

Niamh, I get the same def.s when I click on the ? for both up-words.

9:46 pm

Jacula

Thanks for the clues - got the up words now.

Rankings? How are they done? Only Dr_God know! AAAAARGH!

9:47 pm

ovest

so does that mean just play and don't try to figure it out? lol!

9:47 pm

artlady

Rankings, shmankings. I haven't done a puzzle in 10 days and have moved from 150's to 42. Gee, maybe I should stop doing puzzles??

9:47 pm

Niamh

ok... now I'm really confused... maybe I hit the wrong ? the first time
thank you!!

9:49 pm

torgone

ovest - Correct!!

9:49 pm

Dr_God

Ok. Instead of going with the new design, I decided to stick with the current design, but lighten up the numbers. I think I may have made them *too* light, however.

Hold down "option" or "alt" hit those refresh buttons, folks, and let me know what you think.

9:50 pm

ovest

thanks torgone--no worries :o)

ArtLaddy - now you sound like 'my uvver 'arf'. Stop bragging! LOL.

While you're here, Dr_God - can I just ask how come it is that we every dayers who finish the grids end up further down the ranking than our partners who almost never play???

9:52 pm

torgone

I think that's better .. The letters stand out better for quick scanning ..

9:53 pm

Dr_God

Let me know if you guys have to squint too hard to see the numbers. I don't want to cause any brain damage.

9:53 pm

It's not how often you play, it's how well you've averaged in the past 30 days.

9:54 pm

Jacula

Some may ask you, Dr_God, if you work for an optician. LOL. Not me... yet. But please try to answer my pevious question.

9:54 pm

artlady

No bragging, Jac. The rankings are screwy. Dr. G...help?

Dr. G the numbers hardly show at all now. You need some more contrast. Remember your art classes??

9:55 pm

Jacula

How wel you've averaged? So finishing almost every day doesn't count? GRRR! Getting the rolling pin and the whip out now....LOL.

9:55 pm

Niamh

I think if there were more contrast the numbers would become distracting again...

9:56 pm

saphyre

letters are great - numbers disapear into the background

9:56 pm

artlady

I agree, Jac. The more I do puzzles (and I finish them ), the LOWER my rank is. The fewer I do, the higher.

9:56 pm

Dr_God

Have no fear, rankings lovers, I have plans to revamp the Rankings page to reward the addicts for their efforts. ;)

9:57 pm

Blaze

Dr_G Will that involve fish of any kind ????

9:57 pm

Jacula

Hear the music from that old UK series, 'SOAP' folks. Will Dr_God get out alive from the inquisition twixt his old art teacher and a pushy vampire? If he doesn't, will he have died laughing?

9:58 pm

Niamh

I like the idea of making the word list seperate though... sometimes I'm trying to compare my list with Bradyjacks list and someone posts to the log and I loose where I was! GRRR

9:59 pm

brandyjack

Just do what I do and turn off the log....

10:00 pm
