I only found 3 c's before giving up and moving on

7:53 am

ChampFit

7:53 am

you'd think you'd run a cross an h somewhere

7:53 am

ChampFit

Finally finished the wordle...been looking at that sucker for 2 hours.

7:53 am

hokie carla

oh, better go do it

7:53 am

hokie carla

forgot the other day

7:53 am

ChampFit

Good luck!

7:56 am

hokie carla

took me 5 but the bot says I tied it

7:57 am

ChampFit

Punk! I was just blind. Got it in 5, but really, really couldn't see it.

7:57 am

hokie carla

I am not going to say why I thought that wasn't a word

7:57 am

ChampFit

I thought the same.

7:57 am

hokie carla

must have changed it

7:58 am

hokie carla

well, just typed it in here and it is on enable

7:59 am

ChampFit

I just looked it up and the def is the same as for what we were thinking. It's interchangeable, apparently.

7:59 am

ChampFit

Dumb.

8:00 am

hokie carla

we must be really old and they changed it years ago ;)

8:00 am

ChampFit

I didn't get the memo, so doesn't count. ;)

8:02 am

hokie carla

ooh, found an 8/9

8:03 am

ChampFit

I have both of them. Down to 23

8:03 am

hokie carla

noice!

8:03 am

ChampFit

Well, both of the 9's. The other one stands alone...no 8.

8:03 am

hokie carla

but you've been here since like 3am ;)

8:04 am

ChampFit

5.....ish. It tried the Wordle then switched over when I wasn't seeing it.

8:05 am

hokie carla

I would be the worst me if I got up that early every day

8:05 am

ChampFit

I didn't do it on purpose! I never set an alarm on Sunday.

8:08 am

hokie carla

wow, barely got half on the big H

8:08 am

ChampFit

There are 2 big words

8:08 am

ChampFit

Sorry...2 he - 7

8:09 am

ChampFit

I still need 5 on that one

8:09 am

hokie carla

8:09 am

ChampFit

Go carla go!

8:09 am

hokie carla

would have thought that was proper noun

8:10 am

ChampFit

Is it the 7/40?

8:10 am

hokie carla

no, a 32

8:10 am

ChampFit

That's a cloth, apparently.

8:10 am

ChampFit

The other one is a yiddish word.

8:10 am

hokie carla

oh, will probably not get that then

8:11 am

ChampFit

It was clued as yiddish word for cozy. I googled it.

8:11 am

8:12 am

hokie carla

8:14 am
