7s:

11:36 am

parsec

some long word clues:

A7 sacs for fetuses
A8 crafty, noun form
A8-9 agreeable people
E7 important or prominent
I7 recites
M7 a child's name for bad people
M7 servants
R7 an old word for scabby beasts.

I'm still working on the N and Ses.

12:02 pm

metags

also
N7: ideas, conceptions
S7: Spanish term of address for ladies

don't have the other S7 yet...

1:40 pm

EvaNadine

still struggling with the I7 and R7. any news on the 2nd S7?

2:00 pm

parsec

For help spelling the R7, look at an O5/O6 combo.

And the last S has no definition at dictionary.com, but spelling-wise is based on the third S4.

2:15 pm

EvaNadine

heh, i think those clues would be more helpful if i had more than 104 words

2:20 pm

parsec

Sorry =)
The o words have layers? like parfait?

3:08 pm

MammaJill

parsec, I think the layers are more like ogres than parfait

3:19 pm

sprite

The other S7 is a plural of an Sa6/18).
Def: the icy wind of death, kept in the deepest entrails of the earth.

The layers of the O-words tend to make me cry. :'-(

periwinkle

parsec, thanks for the hint for the r/7, ewww.

4:35 pm

periwinkle

having trouble finding the A/8 (crafty). All the words I can think of cannot be made in this puzzle. Will keep looking.

4:48 pm

Serenade

The A7-sacs for fetuses, I can only see it being one thing and it won't accept it as a word

4:52 pm

periwinkle

Serenade, It is there, starts with Am

4:55 pm

jan

With all of the off-the-beaten track words that Babble accepts--icy winds of death and all that--why doesn't it take the perfectly acceptable crossword puzzle classic "esne"?

4:57 pm

Serenade

I tried and tried am, I rechecked my spelling, can't see what I'm doing wrong, oh well I'll persevere

5:10 pm

Serenade

I got it!!

5:11 pm

Serenade

I was stopping short

6:22 pm

periwinkle

Yea for you :)

7:41 pm

Serenade

When the puzzle closes does it give you the answers?

7:46 pm

periwinkle

Yes, at the top of the puzzle right under player rankings you will see: Yesterday's Puzzle. If you click on that
you will see a list of players. Click on one who got all of the words and you will see their list of words.
