Clue for he8, please.

Hi Crossy. he7 = he + I use a sleeping *** when I sleep in a tent + opposite of out

7:07 am

Scrabbler

he8 = add a vowel

7:07 am

Scrabbler

at the end

7:08 am

Scrabbler

Bad clue. he = welcome *** + opposite of out

don't have an ha 6 and I gather from the duh comment that it is a common word

1:32 pm

hokie carla

well, there was one that is a compound and another that is a plural looking word with no singular that we have often here.

1:32 pm

cybernan

got them both - ty

1:33 pm

hokie carla

nope, looks like alt sp of blood related

1:33 pm

cybernan

lol - seems like you assume everything is scottish :)

1:34 pm

hokie carla

I do

1:34 pm

hokie carla

90% of the time it is

1:35 pm

hokie carla

but I think there are scottish babblets that start with same 3 letters, so that's why I assumed that was

1:35 pm

1:35 pm

hokie carla

relating to blood
