jeanne314

who uses the term ai8??? It's not even in the look-up dictionary

12:45 am

Gillie

it's a bus that transports passengers to and from an airport, apparently

12:46 am

jeanne314

I figured it would be British (I lived there for several years, aeons ago), but I never heard it there. Anyways, it was a head-slapper for me, in the end.

12:47 am

Gillie

yeah, I don't think I've ever come across it before

12:48 am

Gillie

Well, I'm down to one 5-letter word and all three 6-letter words - time to list, I guess

12:48 am

jeanne314

Always seems to be one or two words that are just not quite in the realm of general dictionary use...not merely unusual, but simply odd in some way.

12:49 am

jeanne314

I'm down to 8. Good luck to you, Gillie! I'm too lazy to list. I used to, when I used a desktop and had a printer to print it out. Not fun with my laptop.

12:50 am

Gillie

good night!

12:52 am

ursh

jeanne there is a way to get lickety clues on your screen to the left - but i cant remember how

1:00 am

grannyrose

jeanne, resize the window you have open. hover your mouse on the edge, and when the little two headed arrow appears hold down the button and move the arrow sideways. then open a second window with lickety's list open in it, and do the same. then click and hold your cursor over the window and drag the second window to the side. then you will have two windows open side by side.

1:01 am

Ugh. This is not a fun grid. Half way and quitting.

12:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

These grids are not entertaining.

12:45 pm

bichon

the kh 4/12 doesn't exist

12:55 pm

scatterbrain

Itâ€™s there bitchon not beforeâ€”â€” but kh**ter. Sorry not too good at clueing

1:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I try to make my clues a little obscure but everyone has a different style.

1:04 pm

MollyL

nm means Bichon figured out it was there

1:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

clue any way you want short of spelling the word out, if you can

1:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

is my preference.

1:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

how much better it would be if the C and the K could just switch places

1:08 pm

scatterbrain

Iâ€™ve never clued before so I tried

1:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Was OK. No worries.

1:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

the clues I don't like go "squiggly letter, round letter, sometime-vowel," like that. You might as well just say the letters.

1:18 pm

MollyL

Those kind of clues are lame, I agree.

1:23 pm

MollyL

Or sh + ap4 (for aper) which gives 4 letters of a six letter word

1:35 pm

scatterbrain

saw your feedback molly Guess your the genius

1:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I am not the genius. I don't finish grids.

1:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Like, ever.

1:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is ho a slur?

1:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I annoy people by pointing out racial and ethnic slurs in the ENABLE dictionary.

1:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We used to have this tradition of the Penalty Box. Once someone joined the game,. got put in the PB and left saying we were a bunch of rigid snobs. Too bad. The PB had cabana boys and mojitos.

1:52 pm

saanichcat

It also had wine etc.

1:52 pm

saanichcat

The PB box sometimes had parties. Love to see it back.

1:59 pm

saanichcat

chiao everyone, bye for now

2:08 pm

MollyL

The Penalty Box was a lot of fun. Too bad it has become "passe" as someone said. What?

2:10 pm

Shirlockc

2:20 pm

Shirlockc

Hello

Howdy, Christa. :)

Read back on the discussion about cluing words and the different ways thst people do so. My thought has always been that I work the grid, with the chat off, until I can go no further, then I turn the chog on, enjoy the company, and pick the hive mind for clues. Should I feel that the clues are too direct, I simply turn the chat off. Easy peasy.

4:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

that works Crossy

6:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was always in the PB when I started because I typed in the wrong box. Someone new got offended that we PB'd her and thought we were a bunch of old cranks, which is basically true, and she left because she felt chastised. But the food in the PB was great. It was kind of fun to catch someone use a word by accident, an extra game.

6:35 pm
