Still working on a fix for 2 things - one - getting clues to run normally and 2 the issue with Babble Expert sending 1 word rather than many

3:12 am

grannyrose

lickety, i repeat myself. you are amazing. on behalf of the many, thank-you for all you do.

3:19 am

ivesyj

my words dont show up in the word list when i type them . for instance i have 3 words so far and only one shows up in list. any one else having this prob?

3:19 am

grannyrose

not here ivesyj

3:21 am

ivesyj

oh well. words dont go to clues, no word list. i guess it may be time to quit babble .. too annoying lol

3:22 am

grannyrose

probably teething problems. Dr God just changed servers.

3:23 am

ivesyj

yes i know . but it kind of hard not knowing what words i put in .

3:24 am

grannyrose

hang in there ives. give it a couple of days and try again. xoxox

3:25 am

ivesyj

thanks grannyrose. i will try

3:53 am

ivesyj

my game witihout expert shows me what words i have.so thats better. i will just have to use licketys list for now .

4:09 am

saanichcat

ivesyj, also having same problem with words not entering, have to refresh all the time. using three different devices sometimes at the same time! I am sure it will all settle down soon

4:10 am

Teething troubles. In a week we'll all have forgotten about them.

saanichat, nice to know im not the only one lol. i have 2 different babbles up so i can use help if i cant find a word. very confusing. but at lesat i can play. hope it gets well soon lol

4:20 am

MollyL

I am glad I never got into playing with Expert. Regular Babble works fine and I could not be bothered with all that trouble to play Expert.

4:21 am

granadan

I dont think I ever heard of expert. I think I paid a £1.99 sub about 20 years ago (IIRC) - best investment I ever made!

4:25 am

spellit

Yes Lickety Add doesn't add the wods to the list for me either

4:49 am

mattygroves

I imagine Lickety will have to make code changes to Expert as the server has moved for Babble. I don't use Expert because I often play on a Mac, though I have used it in the past. Lickety (and Dr God for that matter) does this out of the goodness of their hearts - I imagine real life gets in the way!

5:16 am

MollyL

Lickety is having a problem because this new site is https and his solver doesn't work with that. He is looking for one that does.

5:16 am

Sugrraleona

Hi, Lickety is working for me.

5:17 am

MollyL

They are talking about Lickety's Expert site

5:17 am

Sugrraleona

oh sorry

Babble is not working for the words I find are not registering

hokie carla

peri and mari, are you trying to play through lickety's babble expert?

7:30 am

crosshair

Good morning, Babblers. :)

7:30 am

MollyL

Is it really that hard for people to play regular Babble while Lickety works on Expert?

7:31 am

hokie carla

that's what I'm trying to find out

7:31 am

hokie carla

not singling anyone out but I can't believe how many people don't know there's an actual site

7:32 am

hokie carla

hey crossy and everyone else

7:32 am

MollyL

Lickety's clues come up in a new tab by clicking the link in black below. And if you don't understand tab browsing, I am at a loss. I tried and failed to explain it to Ruby.

7:33 am

MollyL

playbabble.com folks. It's where the rest of us live.

7:33 am

hokie carla

lickety's babble expert is not the actual website and not the only way to play, people.

7:33 am

ivesyj

im a gray head!! lollol i really look like that too. lol.

7:34 am

hokie carla

you enter your words on playbabble.com and then at the bottom in a black bar, click on the helpful link "Lickety's Babble Clues", then you can copy your word list here and paste it in there under bulk add.

7:36 am

0471

MollyL, after the migration to new server, the links at the bottom of the page is not there in Chrome browser. So Lickety disappeared for Chrome users. Maybe that's why the confusion.

7:37 am

0471

https://r46.me/babbleclues

- this i lickety's link

7:37 am

MollyL

I am playing on Google Chrome and I see the link. It is in the black box under the letter boxes.

7:37 am

ivesyj

i have the black box that says clues on mine

7:37 am

ChampFit

It didn't for me. It's in the black strip across the bottom of the page. Says "Helpful Links" Lickety's Babble Clues. I'm in Chrome

7:38 am

MollyL

Yes, Helpful Links: Lickety's Bablle Clues. Click on Lickety's Babble Clues.

7:38 am

ChampFit

It's in red, and it'll take you to the clues.

7:42 am

MollyL

Part of the problem is that there are people who don't under tab browsing. That is why they use Expert because it's an "all on one screen" kind of thing. They don't get that when you click on the link, the clues come up in a different tab.

7:46 am

crosshair

Does someone have a link for Babble Expert? All these years and I have never really looked at it to see what all the fuss is about.

7:46 am

hokie carla

there is a note on the lickety clues page but I think it says to email lickety for expert

7:57 am

MollyL

I didn't know that they had turned the cowboy competition event into a trucker competition event

9:25 am

rururocks

what's a cowboy competition about?

9:26 am

MollyL

You have never heard of the competition where they lasso horses and ride bulls

9:26 am

rururocks

those are called rodeos

9:27 am

hokie carla

lol, I had no idea what molly was talking about either

9:27 am

rururocks

I thought you mean something else like drinking six packs of beers and driving trucks and missing their old flame

9:27 am

MollyL

Well I was trying to avoid the word since it is similar to the one I referred to, ro6/7

9:27 am

MollyL

You forgot hunting with their hound dog

9:28 am

BzznBea

Coon dog.

9:31 am

MollyL

And just for the record, asphalt is not that three letter word

9:31 am

cybernan

never heard of it before -- don't think it is one we have to contend with

9:31 am

MollyL

Construction broads know such things

9:33 am

cybernan

election very close, so it looks like a minority government and down to 3 parties as two won under 12 seats

9:33 am

MollyL

Nan ta7 is actually a plant and it is native to the Southwest. Not found in your area

9:34 am

MollyL

I know you Canadians are like flies on a ham about our elections but I pay very little attention to Canadian politics.

9:34 am

rururocks

sounds like the liberal party made gains in canada

9:34 am

mkg

So anyone have any 8s to send my way? Ty.

9:35 am

cybernan

yes ru - thanks to Trump - lol

9:36 am

BzznBea

I see things are not back to "normal" with babble. Was using lickety's page and not getting words to come up in the word list. When I went to the web grid, all the words I had added at Lickety were on my

9:36 am

BzznBea

word list

9:36 am

rururocks

yaeh.. it's a reacetion to trump for sure

mkg

I also am missing the E words for top row E, second column. Two words. Help welcome.

9:44 am

cybernan

is the tr another compound? beginning with a plant

9:44 am

MollyL

The tr doesn't begin with a plant

9:46 am

cybernan

is it a normal word? a compound?

9:47 am

rururocks

normal word

9:47 am

rururocks

just found it

9:47 am

cybernan

no way!! That is 2 words

9:49 am

MollyL

Or Rose the baseball player

11:15 am

hokie carla

there's a nickname for peter that starts with R?

11:15 am

MollyL

Well I was trying not to do that, start the nickname with r

11:16 am

MollyL

As in "like the nickname"

11:16 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

11:23 am

hurshy

11:23 am

hokie carla

what the tv network did to the show

11:24 am

hurshy

ha

11:24 am

hurshy

thanks

11:24 am

hokie carla

funny we both missed that one

11:25 am

hurshy

yeah

11:25 am

hurshy

still need 4 R from the bottom though

11:25 am

hokie carla

I need 6 of those

11:26 am

hurshy

none of mind are really weird

11:27 am

moolingwa

3 Rs from the bottom for me

11:29 am

hokie carla

13-7-5-6-3
gotta get back to work

11:29 am

hurshy

found an odd T pair

11:31 am

MollyL

Wow, you two are a pair. One of the most normal re words from that r.

11:33 am

MollyL

It is probably that lingwa guy's missing r too

11:34 am

MumTT

Sorry to disturb, but I am using Babble expert and it doesnt seem to be registering in the babble word list, is it just me or have I done something wrong?

11:34 am

hurshy

maybe it's cause of the server move?

11:35 am

MumTT

Sorry but my daughter usually sorts things out like this, whats a server move and can I fix it?

11:35 am

hokie carla

yes, not just you. lots of players are reporting expert doesn't work, and lickety, the creator of expert. said it will take him a while to fix it.

11:35 am

hurshy

doc moved babble to a new server on sunday

11:36 am

MumTT

Ok thank you!

11:37 am

hokie carla

you will have to play directly on the website on playbabble.com. then if you need lickety's babble clues, scroll down to the black bar that says Helpful Links (in white) and then click on Lickety's Babble Clues (in red).Then you can copy your word list and paste it into the box on that page that says "bulk add".

11:37 am

MollyL

It is a Lickety fix and he is working on it. Follow Carla's directions to play the regular way.

11:38 am

MumTT

Thanks!

11:39 am

MollyL

All this time I thought everyone started out on regular Babble and moved to Expert. Do they forget how to play the regular way?

11:39 am

hurshy

i've never used expert

11:39 am

moolingwa

don't even know what it is :)

11:39 am

MollyL

Me either. It always came up as an unsafe site so I just never got into it.

11:40 am

hurshy

the difference is that it gives a little more away. if there are three fe4 in a row, and you enter one, it puts it in the right spot of the three, i believe. so you know more directly what you're missing in relation to the list

11:41 am

MollyL

I do remember thinking that it made things easier. It also appeals to people who don't get tab browsing.

11:43 am

hokie carla

I know peri and mari were here before me so they definitely played on the website. expert came along a year or two later.

11:43 am

hurshy

i was definitely here before expert

11:44 am

hokie carla

yeah

11:44 am

hurshy

before lickety usually brandyjack would post a list

11:44 am

hokie carla

I remember a user profile list and I would put that into a spreadsheet

11:46 am

hokie carla

licketys list page has a web counter since apr 2006

11:48 am

hokie carla

he added the bulk add to that in apr 2007, and the note on the side said expert was in beta, so it was probably at the earliest 2007. so a lot of people played this game several years before expert.

11:48 am

BzznBea

Today if you enter a word in Lickety, it shows up on the web but not on expert.

11:49 am

penquis

hello all...

11:49 am

moolingwa

hey pen

11:49 am

BzznBea

Hey, pen

11:49 am

11:54 am

hurshy

anyone have Gillie's goofy ro7?

11:54 am

moolingwa

3-2-1-2-2

11:55 am

MollyL

Ro7 is what I was talking about earlier. The trucker competition based on the cowboy competition word

11:55 am

hurshy

ohhh forgot about that one

11:56 am

MollyL

It is a 6/7 combination

11:56 am

hurshy

yeah

11:56 am

hurshy

now i just need one more D to grey the bottom row

11:56 am

MollyL

I didn't know there was such a thing

11:57 am

MollyL

Nope. I'm not going through that again

11:57 am

hurshy

i just know i've seen that ro in babble before

11:57 am

MollyL

Just to find out it's dean or something

11:57 am

hurshy

lol

11:57 am

hurshy

well it's not that but i can't guarantee about the "or something"

12:00 pm

hurshy

fourth row grey!

12:00 pm

moolingwa

12:00 pm

moolingwa

Poor Edwin. Doomed to eternity with no ending to his story.

presumably SOMEONE has finished it. multiple people have written endings to the novel Jane Austen was working on when she died.

12:10 pm

MollyL

Oh people have written THEIR endings. I was talking about the INTENDED ending

12:11 pm

MollyL

And I don't know how someone has the nerve to finish something started by Dickens or Austen. Some things are better left unfinished.

well, i have one titled "Sanditon" that is by "Jane Austen and Another Lady", so i thought that was cool that she didn't want to put her name to detract from Jane getting the credit, and it's very good. i picked up another version called "Charlotte" and flipped through it at a bookstore and it seemed all wrong - the language was more Shakespearan than Austenian.

There is even an Edwin Drood musical (gag)
