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

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

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

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

Jewish words? I'm a Jew and know of no such things. Hebrew, Yiddish, yes; Jewsh, no.
12:26 am

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....

is it also ch?
any hints?
12:39 am

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!

12:57 am

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 :)

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

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

Take a deep breath: 254 today.
2:43 am

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

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

your'e welcome griffums, has anyone got the di8 yet?
2:47 am
Griffums

Handel's "Hallelujah ------"
2:49 am

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

No grid without a fish :)
I submit P9: someone who makes use of a handbag. Won't take, though :(
2:56 am

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...

a clue for the su 7?

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

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

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

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

3:39 am

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.)

3:44 am
sfneil

Good luck and goodnight, everyone!
3:45 am
SunnFlower

I'm older than I care to think
3:45 am
Griffums

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.

welcome rahrah, the qu isnt used today, so it just is taking up the space.
9:20 am

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

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.

Hi Anj! Stewie's a great icon! in life and in babble
12:44 pm
ScoutsMom

my favorite line from stewie is "Am I to stand around all day swaddled in my own feces? [claps hands] Service, please!"
12:45 pm
Anj

lol! I was thinking of the new look grid Mtn, but thank you . When I rule the world I shall make your death quick & painless ;)
12:46 pm
mtnjock

Hate the new look, tiles are hard to look at..., but understand the reasoning.
12:46 pm
Anj

...or words to that effect lol :)

What the deuce?! I've found a GENUINE er9/60 and the bl**dy grid won't take it }(
12:47 pm

12:51 pm
EvaNadine

*runs and tackles anj*
hello there strangeness.
:)
12:51 pm
Anj

They are not easy on the eye, that's for sure. Why do Hasbro have to interfere?
I hope this isn't corporate sour grapes again.
12:52 pm
Anj

Hi EvaNadine :) How are you today dear??
12:53 pm

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

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

1:25 pm
Anj

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

1:28 pm
Judi

1:28 pm
Anj

Hi Macadam :)
1:28 pm

1:34 pm
mamabear

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

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...

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.

Hello Babblers!

I broke my promise to myself to day of no puzzles under 100 words. Been noodling this one all day along and have only TWO words left and they surely have me stumpd. Can anyone help?

HELP!!!

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.

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.

9:08 pm

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.

9:11 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

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

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

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!

Good night, Anj. Sweat dreams.

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.

9:29 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

Personally, I think interactive tiles would spoil the fun.

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.
