12:12 am

kristinc

GW-thanks for the good news earlier about your cats. We've already taken over their favorite room for the baby's room and they've taken it well. They also already do well with our friend's kids so hopefully we'll luck out just like you!

Tigereye

the sudoku site also took its time

12:14 am

GreyWoulf

kristi -- the key is to not restrict their access to the room until the baby is here and they demonstrate a need for it. Mine liked to sleep in the bassinet when the baby was not in it, but otherwise respected her need to be alone in it while sleeping. :)

12:14 am

mrpresident

I never can see those longer words.....

6:54 am

sandyloo

steptoe you will have to get all 150 words

6:55 am

Jera

Movieman... several of the long ca words deal with battles (somewhat old-timey). Or pirates...

6:55 am

balker

jera, I meant, it's nice it accepts a guess, but then I either have to scroll down and find the word in the list, or calculate the score for the word myself.
it'd be nice if the score was shown to me (for instance as a green box around the input field, like the red box for error)

6:55 am

steptoe

Jera & Sandyloo! Hi.. Wow all 150!!!
We're gonna be here all day : )
I'm gutted that there'sa 9/96 in there!
steptoe

6:56 am

periwinkle

movieman, the co9/96 starts with the a5/20 - an addition to a building, then put the prefix on it and then make it past tense,

6:56 am

sandyloo

and welcome steptoe this is a great site with lots of nice people and its very educational as well as lots of fun

Hi, Une, may I please have a clue for the on7, just can't see it this morning

Damn.....

7:28 am

7:28 am

Farruska

7:28 am

movieman

Hiya, temple....

7:43 am

snowyowl

Hi all - what's the grid like today? 150 doesn't sound challenging but are there hidden horrors? Haven't completed the last 3 grids due to lack of time.

7:45 am

jgodsey

7:50 am

9:44 am

Charm

Morning, everyone!
Any clues on the last 2 RE's (after the re4 meaning underwater coral neighborhood)?

9:45 am

sherb

Charm - re5 is the adjective describing the underwater coral neighborhood... :D

9:45 am

snowyowl

the re 7 is re+en5/12

9:46 am

rolin

hello...anyone got a clue for the of 4/9 pls?

9:47 am

Sherb - aaarrrggghhh.
And thanks, Snowy. Some mornings, the little grey cells just don't fire away!

9:48 am

I'm a little clueless here... where are you guys finding out that there are of4/9's or whatever in today's puzzle?

9:49 am

snowyowl

yw Charm - don't I know the feeling! LOL

9:49 am

Uneaixoise

re f*****, sherb, i know--and i immediately looked to see if she was babbling . . . guess she'll get pretty excited later today! :-)

9:49 am

mab

Jacula mentioned Good Experience Games, the recent friend of Babble. Have been there and found it interesting; I recommend Grow, a very odd, yet fascinating little game.

9:51 am

bex777

she was on here before and was happy she had been remembered

9:51 am

FMitch

Waitak
We find words in the grid and then when we get stuck ask for clues giving the 1st 2 letters of the word, the number of letters in the word and the tile value.

9:51 am

snowyowl

Waitak - on the right hand side of the page , under Friends of Babble is Angelsongs Babble page- click there and then on links. One of the headings there is mrps stats -the two letter list is there

9:52 am

Waitak

Got it, thank you!

9:52 am

snowyowl

yw Waitak

9:54 am

mab

bex, did you get the two-letter list?

9:55 am

Farruska

got the co9 :D

9:55 am

Waitak

Hmm. Seems to me that MRP's list plus a shell and /usr/share/dict/words could make pretty short work of a puzzle...

9:56 am

FMitch

Waitak - sure but then where is the point or the fun of doing it?

9:57 am

Waitak

Agreed! Lots more fun doing it "by hand".

9:58 am

FMitch

LOL

9:58 am

Angelsong

morning all. can someone help me with a ca8? Have the one related to the large weapon.

9:59 am

mab

But that wouldn't be any fun, Waitak. Brandyjack (posts stats on Babs Anon) and mrpres don't look at the word lists their programs produce. At least I;m pretty sure....(kidding)

9:59 am

Marc Freeman

Good morning, I know there are 3 8's, I only have the ca does anyone know what the other two are?

10:00 am

FMitch

Hi Angel , haven't got anything over a 6 yet, sorry.

10:00 am

CA8 - past tense of the ca4 meaning region/state (as in Switzerland).

10:00 am

Angelsong, expand the word that means regions of Switzerland.

Sorry - past tense of the CA6 (not ca4).

the 8' and 9's: CA8/50: Used a large weapon that makes a big sound. Think of small town squares with civil war CA6's.

CA9/60: One who uses the above large weapon
CO9/96: CO + past tense of where Anne Frank and her family lived; this is an extension of the CO7/52. Also related to the An7/52, which is also a past tense.

CO8/60 One upon whom an honor is bestowed
CO9/84: Think of a teacher and parent who meet regarding a child's progress in school, past tense.

Cont, I think it was worth it! makes it alot easier to narrow down those last few words!

11:13 am

contestant

Granted, that relies on my remembering this thing exists in the future, and my ability to find time to play it. So it's a thing of cost-effectiveness.

11:13 am

ac 5/12 thinkof the commercial "tough ***** tin*****" (I think it's an athlete's foot cream)

11:18 am

mab

Contestant: with all the resources available, pro status affords only a little extra help. Nevertheless, it's inexpensive, and it's fun to play with one's icons. An icon also makes one more visible when asking for clues.

sorry, spellacked - sometimes it's hard to know bc we have some kids who babble, and those would be too hard for them, and then we have some smart people... i prefer some subtlety myself, so i will remember you in future

12:10 pm

spellacked

Jacula

Hi & 'bye, Lola.x

12:12 pm

12:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

hola lola!
*scratches head* we seem to be evenly divided along the lines of pets and candy - what's the theme?

12:14 pm

spellacked

whoops, the clue I gave for no6 should have been for no7. sorry. I need no6 too.

12:14 pm

hurshy

i thought it was chocolate. pets on the 28th?

12:14 pm

EvaNadine

according to babblers profile, todays theme is chocolate

12:15 pm

hurshy

no6 - person who doesn't like someone/something

12:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

12:15 pm

lola100

12:17 pm

Angelsong

new icon!

12:17 pm

spellacked

hurshy -- I just tried every 2-letter combo after ac5, it wasn't one I recognized, and the definition has nothing to do with ac5 either (different field of science)

12:18 pm

cybernan

Ahhhh - is that in honour of Hurshey, Angel?

12:18 pm

Atalante

the definition hasn't, but the formation of the word does.

12:18 pm

Jera

Several of them are coated with chocolate... good stuff!

Best seller again this year are Thin Mints & Samoas/Carmel DeLites

12:19 pm

cybernan

Ooooooo -- we don't get the caramel delites!

12:19 pm

Jera

Seriously, if anybody wants to order some, I do ship priority mail, free if you buy 6 or more boxes!

12:20 pm

Jera

Samoas = Carmel DeLites, except Samoas have slightly darker chocolate

12:20 pm

hurshy

12:43 pm

JAJ

1:05 pm

Uneaixoise

on7/28 was in yesterday's puzzle--more difficult, more tedious, more irritating

1:06 pm

Vicuna

on7/28 - an alternate spelling, normally it would be orn--

1:06 pm

emtiandeca

a clue for the na5 please but not the one that watches the kids

1:07 pm

Uneaixoise

I love Mr Presidents stats list with the check boxes. Is there a way I can have that list on the monitor while I am playing the game.

1:21 pm

spellacked

got on7, but it's not from yesterday, it's from Friday. Yup, a cheat, but that word's not even in dictionary.com. It's listed in 'valid word dictionaries' but can't find a valid definition.

1:22 pm

Babbler

you could open two windows and have the two side by side?

1:22 pm

1:27 pm

Jera

1:33 pm

1:33 pm

Babbler

ktf, can I have one to have with my cup of tea later? wanna try that trick. ; D

1:33 pm

ndr76

What's this Mr. P's list? The B.A. stats page seems to be for yesterday's puzzle...

1:33 pm

Angelsong

co9/96: co + think of how Anne Frank and family lived...past tense.

1:34 pm

ktf

You've got to suck hot chocolate through them. I have heard that they're nice with chai, though.

Num. Now I want a TimTam.

But I have started making pancakes...

Well worth it, Babs. *grin*

Anyone tried the Dark Chocolate and Chilli variety? Or do they just have those in Aus?

1:36 pm

lola100

Anj? Are you still there babe? : /

1:37 pm

thanks, lola, I am really pigging out with these choc covered pretzels. I already had a lot of guacamole with salsa and tortilla chips from Trader Joes. I love Trader Joes.

1:37 pm

Anj

Yup, just been talking to the folks : )

1:37 pm

ktf

*falls off chair*

What's a Timtam? Only the greatest chocolate biscuit ever created!

...aside from Tortina's.

1:37 pm

ndr76

The tickbox stat list is only for 1089, true? or am I missing something

1:37 pm

periwinkle

is the ac7 related to the ac5?

1:37 pm

evanonut

never heard of a tim tam myself

1:38 pm

ndr76

me either... but they sound yummy!

1:38 pm

Golux13

OK, this is weird. I typed in an ac7, and it shows up on my list, with no score associated.

1:38 pm

Vicuna

ac7 - technically unrelated, but starts the same, just add opp. of off.

1:39 pm

lola100

peri, that's okay, it's sunday night. Sunday night is pig-out night! ; )

What time will they be there tomorrow Anj? Hope you said hi for me! : )

aknitter Hi :)

7:24 pm

aknitter

fa**** I almost used a word just saying hello!!!

7:24 pm

skizzybiz

This is nuts, i'd only heard of a few of the O words.

7:26 pm

faeriekae

aKnitter-ask earlier if maybe I should have changed my name today? LOL

7:26 pm

faeriekae

co 6/30 please and thank you.

7:26 pm

aknitter

hmmm, what else could we call you?

7:27 pm

HollyBug

Skizzy. Where are you from?

7:27 pm

skizzybiz

co6/30 = synonym for bestow

7:27 pm

faeriekae

Skizzy-now you have to figure out how to use all these words into your daily language...lololol

7:27 pm

skizzybiz

holly, san francisco, you?

7:27 pm

bigfarfig

i can't find in6/24 :-/
but i finally figured out the scoring system, this makes more sense now!

7:28 pm

HollyBug

Hehe. Indy. You just seemed familiar... lol.

7:28 pm

periwinkle

an5/12 and an621 please

7:28 pm

aknitter

woot, finally found a 9 letter word

7:28 pm

faeriekae

Knitter - Angel just called me Kae but I think Beautiful would do. LOL

7:28 pm

HollyBug

I'm still missing one of the nine letter ones. I'm possibly retarded. hehe.

7:29 pm

aknitter

in 6/24 -- money u earn

7:29 pm

bigfarfig

of course... thanks!

7:29 pm

LeslieAnn

in 6/24, what you get from working

7:29 pm

aknitter

f-kae, beautiful is what people call me. everyone would get confused LOL

7:29 pm

faeriekae

Hollybug - LOL - then we all are.

7:30 pm

LeslieAnn

holly, i only have one 9... a co... could you give a clue for the other you have?

7:30 pm

aknitter

sorry peri don't have those yet

7:30 pm

HollyBug

Hehe. My brain is broken from doing school work. I absolutely believe this. hehe. :o)

7:30 pm

skizzybiz

kae, btw once you get co6/30, you can get co9/84

7:30 pm

aknitter

leslie an i only have the co 9 too

7:31 pm

periwinkle

third ca6/21 please

7:31 pm

HollyBug

Okay. So... Skizzy. Let's say I believe that... Why can I NOT get it? Is it the past tense?

7:32 pm

skizzybiz

co9/84 is past tense, yeah

7:32 pm

periwinkle

first co514 anyone?

7:33 pm

faeriekae

Skizzy-thank you, thank you, thank you found them

7:33 pm

Eva

hi guys-I have 2 of the 9's=maybe they aren't the same ones- I have the co +an_____ and the con______ (sound sort of like a pine tree) in the past tense. What do you have?

7:33 pm

HollyBug

LOL. I'm so so so so glad I hadn't spend a bunch of time on that. I wasn't adding the second hook... and it just kept telling me not a valid word. I wanted to throw a child.

7:33 pm

LeslieAnn

peri, only co 5/14 i have is past tense of the shape of a dunce cap

7:34 pm

HollyBug

Not that I ACTUALLY throw children. Because that is bad.

7:34 pm

skizzybiz

there's another co5/14 that's related to that dunce cap

7:34 pm

skizzybiz

no no, i understand, holly -- throwing children is good clean fun!

7:35 pm

HollyBug

hehe. Of course.

7:35 pm

ExWren

OK, I'm for bed now, goodnight all you babblers, both old and new.

7:35 pm

Eva

that second dunce cap word uses both c's.

7:36 pm

HollyBug

Okay. I'm needing some help with the A words.

7:36 pm

periwinkle

don't have the co8/60 help please

7:36 pm

Sherylr1961

me again need the second na 5 have the one that mean an poof of a man

7:36 pm

Eva

so does anyone have a clue for the third 9? Is it also a co word?

7:36 pm

LeslieAnn

yeah! like the ac 7

7:37 pm

faeriekae

LOL - you guys are killing me...

7:37 pm

Sherylr1961

can't help you peri need that one too

7:37 pm

faeriekae

Exwren - Good Night... sweet dreams

7:37 pm

skizzybiz

I'd never have gotten ac7/32 without looking it up -- it's related to ac5/12

7:37 pm

Eva

peri-the co8/60 builds on the 6/30 which is just before it- has a double vowel meaning someone who does the 6/30 thing, at the end.

7:38 pm

HollyBug

co 8/60 = co 6/30 with a double second vowel

7:38 pm

HollyBug

Hehe. Eva got there first. :o)

7:39 pm

LeslieAnn

holly... a lot of a's (and co's, and re's) relate to a an 5/20 that means to add something (uses the x)

7:39 pm

periwinkle

Eva and Hollybug, thanks, those double vowel endings are tricky

7:39 pm

faeriekae

ac 7/32 add opps of off the end of ac 5/12.

7:39 pm

Eva

so peri-do you have all of the 9's?

7:40 pm

periwinkle

Sheryl - na5 - the person you hire to look after your children

7:40 pm

skizzybiz

Here's my best shot at a clue for ac7/32 -- it's composed of a synonym for "perform", plus two prepositions

7:41 pm

periwinkle

Eva, yes I have all the 8's and all the 9's but not all of the words, am quitting at 120 to watch Desperate Housewives and then to bed. See you all tomorrow.

7:41 pm

Sherylr1961

ty peri, never should have seen that one

7:41 pm

LeslieAnn

thanks fa****, skizzy

7:56 pm

Panhandle

Just found the game today - I assume the stats on babblers Anonymous are not exhaustive? I've got a 9 letter word, but BrandyJack's stats don't list any 9 letter words?

7:57 pm

skizzybiz

whoops, you're right about the 13 points, math error. but it doesn't *have* to be an X, it just could be. and in this case it isn't :)

7:58 pm

Babbler

the list is alphabetical. I'm using Mr P's list. Is it incorrect?

7:58 pm

skizzybiz

wait, or maybe i'm dumb and i just got the he7/36. ignore previous message!

7:58 pm

pbr

8:29 pm

LeslieAnn

8:29 pm

Sherylr1961

when it has not been proven it is a no*****

8:30 pm

HollyBug

Thanks Sheryl! I needed it too!

8:30 pm

Sherylr1961

the x is a type of gas or something
colorless, odorless, highly unreactive gaseous element found in minute quantities in the atmosphere, extracted commercially from liquefied air and used in stroboscopic, bactericidal, and laser-pumping lamps

8:54 pm

scatty

faeikaeakrea, why have you decided to call yourself that name tonight, it was hard enough trying to remember how to spell the other one, are you trying to keep us on our toes

8:54 pm

Eva

the other is a weird one, but is the past tense of the ca6/21 which means a small village, or something like than-sounds just like the metal balls, but minus an n and plus a t.

8:54 pm

scatty

can i have some more cake please, its growing on me and im hungry

8:54 pm

tbear

Hey Mab....how are you chick? I'm a proper insomniac tonight...laid there for an hour thinking about Fidel Castro amongst other strange things and then gave up and hit the hot chocolate....

8:59 pm

9:29 pm

bigfarfig

i'm trying to figure that out right now..

9:29 pm

okay... he7: a spell, if you're pennsylvania german or dutch, plus the shortest-named great lake, with its last two letters swapped.

9:30 pm

bigfarfig

thanks grigs, glad to know it's not something obvious anyway!

9:31 pm

The re6 is to repeat something you probably did to your parents when you were a kid :)

The re7 is something Civil War buffs like to do.

total newbie - i don't get the scoring and all... what is 7/48 (for example)?

9:53 pm

kmartinson

7/48 = Seven letters for 48 points

9:53 pm

grigs

and after 4 letters, you get a multiplier x2 for each additional letter.

9:54 pm

abg

how do you know how many points? are those the numbers on the tiles? i'm a boggle maniac, but i don't get this. how many words are we supposed to find in this puzzle?

9:54 pm

grigs

so that 7 letter word only has 12 ACTUAL points in it

9:54 pm

knutmeg

he6/36? another witches spell word?

9:55 pm

grigs

sort of, knut - 2 short words, a singular spell :)

9:55 pm

renfield

abg - you should go to the right to friends of babbler and visit angelsong's web site, jera's web site for information on the scoring of the game. example no 6/27 means the word starts w/ no has sic letters and is worth 27 points

9:55 pm
