12:17 am

licketySplitAUS

hetty - sorry for lack of reply - I really just get the clues published and then get back to work. Answer is that I spent alot of time writing a program that can produce the clues in under a minute. Hardest thing for meis to find the minute just after flip time ;-) I do try and add extra stats and features when i can

12:42 am

kierlex

i am lucky though, nobody thinks i am even 30. honestly, people can't believe i have been married for 15 years and think i am 24-27. I guess that is good =)

12:43 am

karob

true, helen, what does sag or fall off; turns gray

12:43 am

saintfranny

i'm lucky i got thru college way before i had access to a computer, esp with all these gadgets you younguns have now. i woulda Never actually studied with a Book!

12:43 am

kierlex

froelica, i am sure that deep in the back of your mind you are working on your papers subconsciously and when the time comes, the brilliance will flow

12:43 am

helenkeller

yep, first thing to go at 40 is the eyes

12:43 am

kierlex

and what is with the long eyebrow hairs that seem to start growing like 2 inches long it seems

12:43 am

Jacula

ZONK!

12:43 am

12:44 am

froelica

kierlex, thats probably true, i do that a lot

12:44 am

froelica

the subconscious thingy, not the long eyebrow hairs...... :)

12:45 am

kierlex

i still do that even at my job. otherwise if i have too much time to work on something i get too involved in making it perfect adn re-writing and looking for just one more thing to include and blah blah

12:45 am

froelica

yep. simple is better

12:46 am

helenkeller

as it was explained to me saint, this happened to 90% of the population because the muscles holding the cornea weaken with age, & for almost everyone this happens between 38 -42!

1:51 am

Kateq

the 8 is an no--a kind of moth

1:52 am

FMitch

Always up eary just popped into babble land for 5 mins to see who is around before I start work.

helenary

to do with the evening

1:56 am

Kateq

the no begins with a four letter prefix meaning night

1:56 am

1:58 am

libarebel

Kind of kind. It is a K-grid. But it has its moments.

3:06 am

FMitch

It starts hard but gets a bit better. So many almost words.

3:06 am

Haz1558

And have I missed any antipodean antics?

3:07 am

FMitch

Haz, you managed to grab some computer time before your daughters today?

3:08 am

Some halfhearted attempts, but nothing other than that.

3:08 am

aleksia

Your free 14-day trial period has expired
Don't worry, you can still play Babble for free. The only difference is that the Stats Panels are no longer visible. To restore the Stats Panels, and to get a bunch of other great additional features, upgrade to a Pro account. It's only $14.95 for life!

Upgrade to Pro
....what does it mean..?

4:14 am

amandacath

Aleksia - don't worry. It just means that you won't get the stats anymore, or fireworks when you finish the grid, but you can still play. If you pay you can get them both back, and you can put a picture next to your name like FMitch or Atalante.

4:15 am

KittyVane

I went pro when my trial period ended, I just couldn't do without the Tile Stats :)

amandacath

If Mr. Data slept during the day.... (I think the're kinda pretty, too)

5:27 am

Miss ABS

5:28 am

Miss ABS

5 left here... soooo close.

5:28 am

Eva

well-I'm doing somthing wrong, becaue I've tried that ending, so it must be the beginning I need to vary.

jbp

k8 clue??

9:19 am

amandacath

jbp - been waiting for you to come on. I finally got in touch with Jed. First I had to get his address from a friend, then I couldn't get on to Babble for a couple of days for your address. Anyway, I s'pose you'll be hearing from him soon!

9:19 am

Merk

k + personal possessive pronoun for us + 4th and 3rd vowels

9:19 am

jbp

i just emailed with him... fate is so wierd

9:19 am

musicmom

Wait a minute that is k6 --- the 8 is a N word

9:20 am

Charm

Thanks, Merk!

9:20 am

tndaisy1960

ty Merk...I finally got that k word

9:20 am

Charm

So, do we have the n8?

9:20 am

jbp

ooh, what a great word: A sculpture representing a standing nude young man, especially one produced in Greece before the fifth century B.C.

9:20 am

musicmom

I don't Charm. I was hoping for clue

9:21 am

jbp

i knew Jed in 88-89, and visited him in the late 90s in Hamburg when I was in southern Germany on a fulbright... it's just so cool to be in touch w/ him again

9:21 am

jbp

thank you amandacath!!!

9:21 am

Charm

jbp - I need one of those.....

9:21 am

jbp

i would like the n word to be either nocturn or nicotine

9:22 am

jbp

need one of what Charm?

9:22 am

tndaisy1960

I have no idea what that n word is bcs I know nothing of Greek statues

9:22 am

Charm

the k-word we just figured out. eye-candy, so to speak.

9:22 am

musicmom

Me tooo jbp -- nocturn is killing me!

9:22 am

Merk

Well the n8 is hard to explain. It is an animal that sleeps in the daytime, but only the first five letters. End it like the ending for the word when guys are on str*** to build muscles.

9:23 am

Merk

Oop. Guys are on ster*

9:23 am

jbp

great clue merk!!!!

9:23 am

Charm

Evanonut - what did I do?<G>

9:25 am

Merk

I get stuck on the stupid short ones. You can return the favor. I can't find the ni4/9

9:25 am

jbp

9:26 am

jbp

9:26 am

amandacath

Yeah, that ocean in the middle is a real pain, jbp! I wish they'd hurry up and figure out the beaming!

9:26 am

9:26 am

musicmom

Got it - I was putting an extra letter in. Thanks!

9:26 am

evanonut

jbp - funny girl

9:26 am

Oh brother --- I hate dealing with medical care. It does make you want to hurt someone!

9:26 am

9:27 am

evanonut

9:27 am

So, I'm off, otherwise I'll stay here all day and not get anything done. Have fun!

jbp

yay FMitch!

10:12 am

Haz1558

Well done FMitch - I'm crawling home still, having been in and out this afternoon.

10:12 am

jbp

hiya Haz!

10:12 am

FMitch

You'll make it Haz, nice to see you.

10:13 am

Haz1558

Hello jbp! I'm actually surprised that there are so many normal words!

10:14 am

jbp

including the greek male statue from BC?

10:14 am

Merk

And almost every single syllable word in the English language ending in a ck. If in doubt, try that.

10:14 am

FMitch

true, but I found a lot of the normal ones very hard to find, squirly and tucked away.

10:15 am

abe79

yay fmitch and mirk!

10:15 am

Haz1558

Yes, you kind of come upon them by accident. Oh look ,that's a word.

10:15 am

jbp

i'm looking for ac 5/14.....

10:15 am

Merk

Question ... the day will come when I won't have time to finish a puzzle. Score wise, am I better off not even starting if I know I can't finish?

10:16 am

Haz1558

Yes, Merk, but where is the fun in that?

10:16 am

Merk

AC ... pungent, bitter taste

10:16 am

jbp

if i ever thought about my ranking, I wouldn't have gone pro

10:16 am

jbp

thanks Merk

10:16 am

hetty

mORNING, mERK. hURSH WOULD SAY no

10:16 am

Merk

So you do it for fun solely.

10:16 am

FMitch

Merk - if its a big one don't start it, a small one probably won't knock yr ranking too much

10:17 am

SamanthaJoy

Merk, I know I can't finish every single day!

10:17 am

hetty

Yup. No competition here, just fun--collegiate style

10:17 am

Merk

You have a point, Haz, but it's a good motivator for me to try to improve my Cream of the Crop score.

10:17 am

phandmd

Hi, I am back for a few moments and need a clue for the ko pls

10:17 am

SamanthaJoy

Anyone who wants to complain about my ranking can take over one of my jobs or find me an extra three hours to sleep at night--this is just how I decompress

10:18 am

Haz1558

For fun mainly. It's nice to get the points but nobody in this house gives two hoots whether I finish or not. I like to finish just for my own satisfaction at finding the words.

10:18 am

Haz1558

And good morning hetty!

10:18 am

Merk

I hear you. Thanks for the input. I'll do it as time permits then. Right now I'm on a vacation of sorts, except I have tons waiting for me to do.

10:19 am

Haz1558

It's entirely up to yourself, Merk. That's the joy of the game, everyone can take it as seriously or not as they choose.

10:19 am

Merk

KO = K + personal possessive pronoun for us + vowels 4 and 3

10:19 am

hetty

Good morning, Haz. For a while trhe I thiught Merk was confusing me with you, and felt highly honoured. How are the beasties today?

10:19 am

SamanthaJoy

Anyone want to help phandmd with that ko? I don't have it, meself

10:20 am

hurshy

please note i am neither encouraging nor discouraging anyone from playing part of a puzzle just for fun... but it is a fact, if you want to know, that it's better for your ranking not to play than to play part of a puzzle

10:20 am

SamanthaJoy

oh, merk's all over it. thanks!

10:20 am

Haz1558

The beasties at home are behaving well, the beasties in the field are having to cope with unexpected heat.

10:20 am

Merk

Thanks for the input. You teach me something new everyday, which is why I am here. Postponing the onslaught of Alzheimers.

10:20 am

phandmd

Thank you merk, I wouldl never have gotten that

10:22 am

Merk

Well, time to clean house. tata

10:22 am

Merk

Oh, as a bonus ... one of today's words is a homonym for my name. Bye.

10:22 am

FMitch

When you are don Merk, could you come round mine?

10:23 am

Merk

FMitch, it looks like I'd have to fly to do so, but otherwise I would, if alone to see your beautiful country.

10:23 am

FMitch

LOL see you next time Merk

10:24 am

Merk

tomorrow

10:24 am

Haz1558

FMitch - do you not think it is a scary thought that to4/6 (our esteemed leader) can be more so (to6/18)?

10:25 am

hetty

LOL Merk. Keep babbling

10:25 am

Haz1558

Bye Merk - good to talk to you again.

10:25 am

FMitch

Wel he would probably believe it!

10:27 am

hetty

And we in Canada have a harper that could scarcely be harpier

10:27 am

tndaisy1960

I have 2 of the 7's...the "vegetable" one and the "nuclear" one....what is the other, pls?

10:28 am

hetty

he's already so harpy with himself. Now I've got that off my chest I decree no more politics in babbleland

10:28 am

Haz1558

There's a to7/36 - a type of bird

10:29 am

tndaisy1960

jbp

dr 6/27... do you mean di 6/27?

10:45 am

shirin

11:05 am

jbp

ac6... sharpness

11:05 am

jbp

ah... ds9 wasn't nearly as good.

11:05 am

jbp

for all kinds of reasons

11:05 am

hurshy

ohh man, i'm mad i missed that ac6

11:06 am

hurshy

the main one being that they didn't boldly go! (at least at first)

11:06 am

jbp

co 6/21?

11:06 am

LeslieAnn

i'm not that woulda taken me like an hour to find

11:06 am

jbp

indeed.

11:06 am

jbp

the indeed was for hursh, not slamming you LA

11:06 am

hurshy

co6/21 ten boom, hid jewish refugees during the holocaust

11:07 am

LeslieAnn

eh, it woulda been fine even if aimed at me :)

11:07 am

hurshy

that's "co6 ten boom" that is all her name

11:07 am

bunnyvicious

the co 6 is like the co 7, but lose the "n" and double the r in the middle

11:07 am

jbp

great clue Hursh

11:08 am

hurshy

i'm doing much better with C's than i usually do, only 3 left myself

11:08 am

jbp

11:08 am

jbp

what's the other?

11:09 am

bunnyvicious

I need to educate myself some more, I'd of never gotten it from that clue. I have to use dummy clues.

11:09 am

hurshy

sounds like how you address the king

11:09 am

jbp

never mind, it sounds like your majesty

11:09 am

jbp

never mind, it sounds like your majesty

11:09 am

hurshy

you prob could have googled "ten boom"

11:09 am

abe79

bunnyvicious

Did I mention I'm lazt too?

11:09 am

LeslieAnn

me too, bunny, hursh gave some super-smart clue earlier, and i was like, "what a pig says"

11:10 am

jbp

lol LA

11:10 am

jbp

and both worked!

11:10 am

hurshy

leslie - it wasn't super-smart, it was just quoting psalm 23 (which is the most well known psalm after all)

11:10 am

Atalante

ds9 rocks. I just have to say that even though that convo was a bit back. babble's only just let me back in!

11:25 am

musicmom

nope

11:25 am

Uneaixoise

sounds nasty

11:25 am

jbergenudd

any meaning to the word?

11:25 am

Vicuna

No idea. But I don't see why "tock" is not.

11:25 am

BGL

I don't know about the rest of you but I have to re+i/4/4 all the time! Why isn't it a word? It seems like we can "re" everything else! :)

LeslieAnn

11:29 am

Uncagain

hmm, have u guys got help for the retarded? The to 7/36 clues went past me, around me, through me, but didnt stick

11:30 am

Vicuna

But have you had your doctor examine you to make sure you aren't crooty?

11:30 am

hurshy

no hetty, ata got it, it's that crooty is a babbler's name :) i thought it was a name but then i thought i must be wrong since i couldn't picture it in caps

11:30 am

hurshy

oc + anagram of a group of three, leslie

11:31 am

Vicuna

to7 - start with a four-letter word for trip or guided visit, add the first three letters of the oak seed (that's also in the grid, by the way)

11:32 am

hurshy

or, if you are interested in learning about business, a good first step might be to to** * **, lol

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

11:35 am

LeslieAnn

11:35 am

musicmom

I'm having trouble with the di6

11:36 am

Douglas

"Gandalf said 'May your *****s receive you at your journey's end,' which is the polite thing to say among eagles."

11:36 am

tndaisy1960

crystaline structure?

11:36 am

hurshy

it's a compound SMF

11:36 am

musicmom

11:37 am

LeslieAnn

sorry i missed the no8 clue earlier?

11:37 am

pabtrek

I'm with daisy, crystalline structure?

11:38 am

hydra

crystalline structure derived from lichens, tndaisy. Take the sea creature, change the vowel at the end and add the opposite of out.

11:38 am

hetty

I've got that, Leslieann there's a third no4

11:38 am

hydra

Or rather, omit the vowel at the end!

11:38 am

hurshy

starts like the creatures that are awake at night (for 5 letters), and then ends like what da4 is on st:tng :) :)

11:38 am

LeslieAnn

oh, ok, sounds like what you do at a door to be let in, hetty

11:38 am

hurshy

that was for the no8 there

11:38 am

Douglas

The **** goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.

11:39 am

hetty

oops. Itmust be the no4/9--I

11:39 am

LeslieAnn

hurshy, i hate to break this to you, but i have never watched a single episode or movie of star trek in my life

11:39 am

hurshy

ok leslie well a fancy robot is called an...

11:39 am

hetty

l try the door--and it OPENED> ta.

pabtrek

11:40 am

Douglas

And you somehow don't feel deprived in the slightest, do you LeslieAnn?

11:41 am

LeslieAnn

nope, not really douglas :)

11:41 am

mattygroves

Two minutes to play, then off home. Just 56 words to go (ha)

11:41 am

hurshy

hain't they heard of "rico suave"?

11:41 am

Jen34

kr 5 is a homophone for cr 5/12

11:41 am

hurshy

of course blind people (who were born so) don't really know what they are missing either douglas

11:42 am

faeriekae

Hey Babblers :)

11:42 am

Jen34

add a vowel to that for kr 6

11:42 am

hurshy

*hursh is full of pity*

11:42 am

tndaisy1960

I finally got that or5, ty:)

11:42 am

bex777

11:42 am

Douglas

Star Trek is highly idealistic, thinking that we would somehow just stop fighting among ourselves as we went into space.

11:42 am

Jen34

oops, I still have my "pursed lips" from yesterday

11:42 am

hydra

clue to the mi5, anyone?

11:42 am

lol jen

11:42 am

faeriekae

{{Bex}} *waves*

11:42 am

pabtrek

thanks jen

11:43 am

hurshy

douglas - i think maybe it's more that we were able to go into space BECAUSE we stopped fighting and cooperated

11:43 am

BGL

phantom word... ornery

11:43 am

hurshy

of course you get different impressions from different bits of trek

11:44 am

LeslieAnn

mo6?

11:44 am

hydra

mi5?????

11:44 am

hurshy

leslieann - read the little prince?

11:44 am

mattygroves

Goodnight!

11:45 am

hurshy

hydra - perhaps rhymes with a stretchy fabric starting with L?

11:45 am

Jen34

leslie, sounds like what you put on top of a salad, minus the cr at the beg.

11:45 am

LeslieAnn

LeslieAnn

jbergenudd

11:49 am

pabtrek

thanks everyone, talk about blind spot, i kept going to the right and up

11:50 am

LeslieAnn

mo5 is a woman's name, though i can't think of an example at the moment

11:50 am

BGL

mo5- woman's name think X-Men

11:51 am

hurshy

it's also similar to another woman's name actress tierney of ER

11:51 am

emusing

mo5, think irish woman's name

11:51 am

emusing

mo5, think irish woman's name

11:52 am

Haz1558

It's a scottish name - Miss Shearer of ballet film 'The Red Shoes' is probably the most famous one.

11:52 am

jbergenudd

ok, thx, i'll get it now

11:53 am

hurshy

gosh i shouldn't have said that now i'm all wondering how abby is and whether she'll lose the baby and what will happen to sam and alex etc etc

11:54 am

hurshy

why must season finales be so suspenseful? anyone else just DYING about luke and lorelai?

11:55 am

hurshy

11:56 am

LeslieAnn

11:56 am

Haz1558

jberergenudd - click on Lickety's babble clues (under Friends of Babble) for a list of the second letter and points values for the words

12:08 pm

1:07 pm

boreetos

prove it!

1:07 pm

jbp

hurshy -doh! i shoulda known

1:07 pm

Vicuna

For example, we could have told smaller to leave the hamulate letter off of the knees and elbows clue.

1:08 pm

Vicuna

(hamulate being a recent grid word)

1:08 pm

hurshy

which, jrh? ardra, or the word jbp said?

1:08 pm

hurshy

i thought we agreed that hamulate meant to pretend you were insane and kill your stepfather who married your mother?

1:08 pm

Vicuna

Easy, boreetos. you're a boy. God's not like you, therefore God's not a boy. QED.

CadFan

like... there were these two clams who were best friends, sam and ted. sam died, and ted missed him terribly. one night an angel came to ted and said he could take ted up to heaven to visit sam for just one night. so ted agreed. at the pearly gates, he was given a small harp to show that he was just a visitor and told to keep it on him at all times and bring it back when he left. so in he went, and found that up in heaven, his buddy had opened a disco. he danced the night away, thrilled to be reunited with his pal. when morning arrived he rushed back to the pearly gates and st. peter asked him to return his visitor's pass. "oh no", exclaimed ted! "i left my harp in sam clam's disco!"

well, the stupid man had a farm and he had these two horses that he couldn't tell apart. so he asked his neighbor for advice and his neighbor said, "why don't you cut the mane off one of them?" so he did that but of course it grew back. he decided to cut off the tail cause it was longer but eventually that grew back too. wanting a permanent solution he decided to ask for ideas at a town meeting. "why don't you measure them?" suggested someone. "great idea!" he said. so he went home and did that, and sure enough, the black one was taller than the white one.

1:47 pm

1:51 pm

Vicuna

wa4/9's - one is the kid you take care of, the other is a dry stream bed, I think. Starts with a rolled up blob of paper, and add a vowel.

1:51 pm

anders

kr 5 is like sinatra's singing

1:51 pm

hetty

1:51 pm

Uneaixoise

one day the stupid man was driving along a country road and his tr5 broke down. he walked along the road to the nearest farm and asked if he could borrow a horse to ride to a mechanic's to get help. "sure," said the farmer, "but the only one that's not working right now is kind of odd. used to belong to a minister, so to get him to start you need to say "praise the Lord!" and to get him to stop you need to say "amen." being in a hurry, the man said, sure sure, whatever, and got on the horse, said "praise the lord", and rode off. he rode for some distance when up ahead he spotted a cliff. "whoa!!" he shouted. "stop! whoa!!" but the horse would not stop. finally he remembered and said "AMEN!" and the horse stopped, right at the edge of the cliff. the man was, naturally, very relieved. "phew," he said, "praise the Lord!"

1:52 pm

Charm

cr5/12 = cr + what you mine from the earth.

2:01 pm

jillibus

2:02 pm

hetty

I dont have time to google now. I'll try again later--thanks anyway

2:02 pm

Vicuna

Hetty, if you want a misspelling clue, think of it as a misspelling of Margaret Thatcher's political party

2:02 pm

EvaNadine

think 90210!

2:03 pm

jrh402s

Margaret Thatcher is my kind of woman.

2:04 pm

Vicuna

Why's that, jrh?

2:04 pm

hetty

Those numbers don't mean anything to me. I was as Jilli says born too long ago Thank s for t eThatcher clue, it worked

2:05 pm

jrh402s

Vic: She can lift an amazing amount with her legs.

2:05 pm

Vicuna

Yes, that's important in a woman!

2:05 pm

jillibus

hetty - the numbers are a zip code and a tv show we didn't watch

2:05 pm

Vicuna

(Err?)

2:05 pm

jbergenudd

i'm missing the two to5,12s

2:05 pm

fit1

2:06 pm

EvaNadine

2:06 pm

jillibus

Elalyr

2:09 pm

2:09 pm

Vicuna

Hello, pwinn.

2:10 pm

fit1

Thanks Jilli, that clue was right on the money :)

2:11 pm

jillibus

i have the "fancier" to 6/18 but not the other one - clues, please

2:12 pm

jbergenudd

no clues for to5?

2:12 pm

Vicuna

The other to6/18 is a bullfighter, I think. Start with rip and then add beginning of street.

2:12 pm

Vicuna

(I should say "ripped" as in this grid, and two letters of street, as in this grid.)

2:13 pm

jbergenudd

if that was for me I have the to6 but not the to5s

2:13 pm

jillibus

ta, vicuna - i had thought of it but couldn't find it and it was staring me in the face, duh

2:13 pm

jbergenudd

nevermind

2:13 pm

Vicuna

to5/12's - one is gin and to---, the other is donut-shaped, but just switch the middle letter

2:17 pm

hurshy

what are the proper terms for those tenses of the 2 ripped words? past tense and past perfect tense?

2:17 pm

Vicuna

I think so, hursh. But you could always think of the past perfect, if that''s what it is, as an adj.

2:18 pm

jillibus

ask hetty, the english professor!

2:18 pm

hurshy

well only if it is off by itself, not if it's in a sentence like "i have to4 the paper in half"

2:18 pm

jbergenudd

cant think of the donut shape. the only thing i can think of is torus but that don't work :)

2:18 pm

Vicuna

You're right, jber. But make that torus into an adj form!

2:18 pm

hurshy

that's right jberg, now make it an adj

2:19 pm

jbp

present perfect and participle

2:19 pm

jbergenudd

ok

2:19 pm

jbp

what donut shaped one

2:19 pm

jillibus

i need the to4 unit of pressure

2:19 pm

jbp

hi all, i'm back. and I have a story....

2:19 pm

jbp

O m g...
so I'm walking down the length of the shop floor for a meeting (the shop is where they actually make the gi-normous turbines and is a huge 3 football length field building that I work in). And there is this lovely huge shiny new turbine shaft (I think). It's all ready for loading onto the traincar that is pulling up for transport, and they are putting a bunch of saftey signs (you know, don't stick your ____ in the ____ icons) onto it... and there it is in big red capital letters:
DO NOT HUMP.

2:19 pm

hurshy

jbp - don't think so, neither of them is present and participles are -ing

2:20 pm

jbp

some days I love my job

2:20 pm

jbp

present part is -ing also called gerund

2:20 pm

jillibus

hahahaha jbp!

2:20 pm

jbp

past participle is verb form with I have ***ed...

2:20 pm

hurshy

but jbp, we're talking about the to4's

2:21 pm

FranMag

great story jbp! lol

2:21 pm

jbp

2:21 pm

jbp

2:22 pm

jbp

met var inte meningen

2:22 pm

Vicuna

jberg, all you really have to do is use the same ending as the other to5

2:22 pm

jbp

to** amos or to* spelling

2:23 pm

hurshy

oh MY jberg, you are swedish??? you are doing amazingly well

2:23 pm

jillibus

jbp - what do you mean, upstate ny? when I lived in nyc, "upstate" was about Poughkeepsie, not rochester or that area -- ???

2:42 pm

2:42 pm

(still would be st5/10)

2:43 pm

jbp

ni 5/14?

energizer?

2:44 pm

jbp

everready?

2:44 pm

jbp

duracell?

2:45 pm

Vicuna

jbp, the point values can be very helpful. If you know how to figure them, sometimes they pretty much tell you what letters have to be in a word.

2:45 pm

cehess

not quite ^^

2:45 pm

jillibus

yes.jbp, that's because Da City is the centre of the universe (note spelling of centre the brit way :)

2:45 pm

jbp

yeah, Vic, but math, not my strong suit.

2:45 pm

jbergenudd

jbp - rechargeable kind

ah, you canadians and brits, spelling things properly ;-)

2:46 pm

nickel?

2:46 pm

pwinn

5th, if you have gotten any words at all, you'll see it in your word list. See the numbers?

2:46 pm

jbp

seriously, i'm blanking

2:46 pm

pwinn

The numbers are for letters and points.

2:46 pm

Vicuna

nickel is the first half of it, jbp. The second half is cadmium.

2:46 pm

Erda

those are brabd names... take first two letters of the stuff that makes you addicted to cigarettes, then add an unsavory male, a c**

2:47 pm

jbp

where do you find the numbers for letters?

2:47 pm

fifth element 2

yes the two easest words i could find

2:47 pm

pwinn

jbp, take that coin and shorten it and combine it with another element.

2:47 pm

jbp

omg, thanks, Erda& Vicuna!!

2:47 pm

Erda

brabd = brand sorry

2:47 pm

pwinn

Okay, so maybe you've got the word that comes in decks of 52.

2:47 pm

jbp

's ok, Erda.

2:47 pm

cehess

They're on the letters themselves.. for instance, the W should have a little 5 on it

2:47 pm

jbp

got it

2:47 pm

tracymoo

5th - it really is best to do the one-time fee, cuz then you can see more

2:48 pm

pwinn

That's ca4/6, because it starts with ca (we only give the first two letters in hints) and has four letters, and the total is worth six points.

2:48 pm

jbp

got it, thx

2:48 pm

fifth element 2

i have to pay???

2:48 pm

jbp

oh, you're not talking to me...oops

2:48 pm

pwinn

I can't remember what's visible to non-payers, so I'm gonna log out and check.

2:48 pm

jbp

you don't have to 5th.

2:48 pm

tracymoo

you don't have to - it just make sit easier (at least for me)

2:49 pm

Vicuna

No, you don't have to pay. You can play just fine for free. But if you do pay, you get a few extra pieces of information up on your screen.

2:49 pm

jbp

re 5/10?

2:49 pm

cehess

you can see everything for 2 weeks.. then you lose the tile stats, word counts, and fireworks at the end =(

2:49 pm

that is wierd that you see more when you pay

2:50 pm

gwinn

Ah, I'm in on my daughter's free account right now, and I see it all, but I just signed her up last week.

2:50 pm

cehess

The only things that remain are the grid itself, the word list, and the chatterbox.

2:50 pm

Uneaixoise

the fee is to help keep the site up

2:50 pm

That makes sense.

2:51 pm

pwinn

Fifth, since you're new, you're seeing everything there is.

2:51 pm

pwinn

Did my explanation of ca4/6 make sense?

2:51 pm

tracymoo

nice one douglas!!

2:52 pm

fifth element 2

no i dont have that word

2:52 pm

jbp

the re4 right before it? i know i'll need the fish on this

2:53 pm

pwinn

It's ca4/6, which means it's four letters, CA**. They come in decks of 52.

2:53 pm

jbp

i mean the re 4 right AFTER it

2:53 pm

fifth element 2

ohhhhhh thank you!!!!!

2:53 pm

jbergenudd

what's the other ca4,6?

2:53 pm

tracymoo

well, I have 66 words in all (seems to kinda fit the day, eh?) and all the 7-letter ones, so I'm taking off for a while. You guys are great!! see you later

2:54 pm

cehess

Any charity on the ko6?

2:54 pm

pwinn

A bit more detail, 5th: Since it's worth six points, and is only four letters (meaning all point values are not multiplied) and since CA is worth three points already, that means the remaining two letters must be worth another three points.

2:54 pm

jbp

ca +princess ** (english, deceased)

2:54 pm

Vicuna

Bye, tracymoo.

2:54 pm

Douglas

In what seems like a previous life, but really wasn't, I played John the Baptist in a church production of Godspell, where that was part of my speech...

2:54 pm

pwinn

So one of the other letters is worth one point, and one is worth two. You can ignore and high-point letters in the area, as well as any combinations that are only single-point letters.

2:54 pm

tracymoo

one more kudo for all the non English-as-a-1st-language folks - you ROCK for even attemptting this!!!

2:55 pm

And as jbp has pointed out, there is at least one other ca4/6 as well, a less-common word.

2:55 pm

Douglas

This game is non-trivial even for people with extensive English vocabularies

2:55 pm

cehess

Thanks jbp

2:55 pm

Vicuna

Go, jberg, go!

2:56 pm

jillibus

I believe kudo is not a word and kudos is a greek singular everyone misunderstands

2:56 pm

tracymoo

2:56 pm

jbp

I'm down to 3.... 1 oc and 2 ta words

2:56 pm

fifth element 2

what is a hit for the other word

2:56 pm

pwinn

5th, I think the only other thing you *really* need to know is the existence of "Lickey's Babble Clues" from the list of links at the bottom of the page.

2:56 pm

jillibus

pwinn, i need a hint for that less-common ca 4/6...

2:57 pm

3:39 pm

stidmama

Douglas

If you remember it, I might be of some assistance with the Star Trek reference

3:40 pm

markbowers7

so, how many words today?

3:40 pm

TheFiz

OK - NO 8: first 4 letters like a night animal, 5th vowel, ending for a space rock or robot or performance enhancing drug.

3:40 pm

Douglas

I have lifetime Trekkie credibility, having discovered an error at startrek.com

3:40 pm

firefly779

wow Douglas, what was it?

3:40 pm

Yay Kallia - sorry, I was typing.

YW. Don't know what it means but it looks like a good candidate for those games where you make up definitions...

3:42 pm

stidmama

down to 43. (a robot that functions only at night?)

3:42 pm

firefly779

53 here stid :(

3:42 pm

TheFiz

(maybe...)

3:43 pm

stidmama

I think "urcad" should be a word. The ultimate bad date...

3:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

you mean neologisms, fiz...

3:43 pm

Douglas

John Fielder, who was the voice of Piglet, died last year. I didn't realize it, but he played the role of Commissioner Hengist in the TOS episode "Wolf in the Fold." The picture they had for him was the picture of a different actor, the one who played Prefect Jarvis, the guy with the incredibly hot wife who was skilled at the Argelian empathic contact.

3:44 pm

TheFiz

Sure, TO - we just call it "definitions" but "neologisms" certainly sounds smarter...

3:44 pm

stidmama

can some kind soul take pity on me and put me out of my ur-misery?

3:44 pm

firefly779

ohhh, too complicated for a casual Trekkie like me, but very cool you were tuned in to such a guffaw :)

3:44 pm

pwinn

I'm confused on the no8. I must be misunderstanding the clue. The last part is four letter, the first part is four letters, and there is a vowel joingin them. That's nine letters. I've got something wrong!

3:44 pm

TheFiz

ur+ 3 vowels in order

3:44 pm

stidmama

pwinn, you take off the R for the second set...

3:45 pm

stidmama

thanks the Fiz *wakes up monkey*

3:45 pm

firefly779

last part is 3 letters, first is 5

3:45 pm

hi kids!

3:45 pm

that is the most ridiculous word I have ever seen!

3:45 pm

Ah, well, that makes much more sense. Thanks! :)

3:45 pm

TheFiz

Hi Boreetos!

3:46 pm

stidmama

hi boreetos! lovely day isn't it? a trifle humid though...

3:46 pm

Douglas

I think that ridiculous word is a plural.

3:46 pm

Douglas

Hello boreetos!

3:46 pm

stidmama

haha! the monkey is back! *pats monkey on head and offers banana*

3:46 pm

Entomologists got that one easy, I guess.

yes it is very nice out. we've got the bay doors all the way open in the shop today, so I can atleast see the outside, even if I'm not out enjoying it.

3:47 pm

anders

okay, who needs a clue? I've got plenty

3:47 pm

pwinn

I'm half-done! W00t!

3:47 pm

Douglas

Hooray, pwinn

3:47 pm

firefly779

now how does billmster have a gray gender indicator??

3:47 pm

Erda

it's an adjective. For a night-flying moth.I ask you......

3:47 pm

stidmama

go pwinn go!

3:47 pm

stidmama

anders, did you just finish?

3:48 pm

jrh402s

woo! I just got an icon.

3:48 pm

anders

finished this morning.

3:48 pm

stidmama

good night billmster... see you tomorrow!

3:48 pm

stidmama

way to go jrh!

3:48 pm

firefly779

but jrh, the theme is Masquerade... ;)

3:48 pm

TheFiz

Firefly- edit your profile and instead of "male" or "female" just pick the blank space. Libarebel and I did it for a while and found it quite liberating....

3:48 pm

boreetos

i think if you don't specify gender, you get a grey one. Grey is the color of adrogeny. :)

3:49 pm

stidmama

oh -- then do you mind helping me with the to? specifically the second 5/12 and the 7/36...

3:49 pm

jrh402s

Icon warming gifts can be sent to my home...

3:49 pm

Douglas

I didn't realize this, but a bloody **** is a prized piece of weaponry in Everquest

3:49 pm

TheFiz

You would think the color of androgeny would be more intersting...

3:49 pm

stidmama

Grey is also the color of the hair I have left after playing babble for three months... LOL

3:49 pm

firefly779

ROFLMAO Fiz!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the answer :)

3:49 pm

stidmama

well, on my monitor it does look a little purple... ;-)

3:49 pm

jrh402s

stid: you have hair left? What's your secret?

3:49 pm

boreetos

yeah perhaps... maybe a nice purple or seomthing.

3:50 pm

TheFiz

Congrats, JRH! It's a big day

3:50 pm

firefly779

gray works for androgeny...think aliens

3:50 pm

anders

to 5/12 = miss t. spelling, 7/36 sightseeing + vowel + short for company

3:50 pm

stidmama

I start pulling from the back so as to hide the damage... but of course I am going gray from the front!

3:50 pm

TheFiz

And... back from the acronym dictionary - YW, firefly...

3:51 pm

boreetos

what would be cool is if there were a little color slider and we could pick the precise color of the little dude or dudette that we wanted.

3:51 pm

stidmama

thanks anders! those worked!

3:51 pm

Douglas

I'm getting with today's theme...

3:51 pm

boreetos

my blue guy would be a little more electric, I think.

3:51 pm

TheFiz

Ooh - I'd be green and purple striped - would yoru slider accomodate?

3:52 pm

boreetos

oh yeah, you could do all sorts of combos, stripes, checkers, whatever.

3:52 pm

stidmama

I would definitely be green if I had a choice -- plants and stuff, you know.

3:53 pm

Douglas

It's not easy, being green...

3:53 pm

Schroeder

Hi All!!
I want to be bright pink!!!!

3:53 pm

stidmama

hi Schro!

3:53 pm

boreetos

actually i;d consider a nice sage green. The color besides grey i wear the most is grey-green. I'd probably go with something like that.

3:53 pm

TheFiz

Well lucky you, Schroeder!

3:54 pm

Douglas

One should repent from the *****s of one's ways

3:54 pm

libarebel

jrh402s-- love your icon--rat & pig!

3:55 pm

Schroeder

LOL...I'm so happy the sun is out, no rain, no snow!!!

3:55 pm

Douglas

The Fall 2005 New York Fashion Week was quite fond of a green that was a little darker than hunter green, called burnt olive...

3:55 pm

markbowers7

if it snowed here today i'd laugh

3:55 pm

markbowers7

it's like 98 or something

3:56 pm

boreetos

interesting. I've had burnt olives. They smell terrible, and taste even worse. I'm not sure that's a color i'd sport too proudly.

3:57 pm

firefly779

burnt olives? (snort)

3:57 pm

Douglas

I've never eaten burnt olives, but the color seems to work as a background, with yellow text.

3:57 pm

Schroeder

Hi Mark!!

It's a pity that the whole 6/6/6 thing distracted from the 62nd anniversary of D-Day

4:22 pm

BryanC

ah, very good point Douglas - it sure is

4:22 pm

Douglas

By the theme, bobkat, we are referring to the theme of the buddy icons...the puzzle doesn't have a theme, as far as I know...

4:22 pm

firefly779

bobkat - the theme is in Babbler's profile, you can find it on lickety's page, linked at the bottom

4:22 pm

5:06 pm

jillibus

good advice, layne!

5:07 pm

Douglas

It's certainly not a word I ever use, mo...The prefix is from the Latin for night...

5:07 pm

BGL

off to a meeting... bbl to finish

5:08 pm

Douglas

retreat is a Phantom word...

5:08 pm

mo

Douglas thanks but i am not very good at Latin!!!

5:08 pm

Layne

Douglas, might we have a clue for the second part of the 8?

5:09 pm

Douglas

Well, animals that roam about at night are called...

5:10 pm

Douglas

In the movie "Goode Burger," Kenan said to Kel, "I don't want to look at you, I don't want to listen to you, I don't want to use words with the letter u!"

5:11 pm

Layne

Got it Douglas, thanks. I had never heard this adjective form of the word . . .

5:11 pm

chic

5:15 pm

Douglas

Weezer has a song with the lyrics
"Where I come from isnâ€™t all that great
My automobile is a piece of crap
My fashion sense is a little ****
And my friends are just as screwed as me."

5:18 pm

Samy

BYE

5:19 pm

Layne

Thanks, Douglas. Had to Google it.

5:19 pm

Layne

Bye, Samy. Nice chatting with you.

5:20 pm

Douglas

For reasons I don't understand, they play that song as part of the background music at the Perkins restaurant in Golden Vallen, MN

5:21 pm

Layne

There are many good reasons not to frequent Perkins.

5:21 pm

Layne

Oh, wait, sorry. You must go there if you know the music.

5:22 pm

Layne

Douglas, was it you who was asking about the KFC chicken-corn-mush bowl?

5:23 pm

Douglas

In H. M. S. Pinafore, Buttercup sings
"I've chickens and ****s
And pretty polonies
And excellent peppermint drops!"

5:23 pm

scribble

eeewwww that thing looks gross....chicken and potatoes and gravy and corn and cheese....GROSS

5:23 pm

Douglas

Although the puzzle seems to spell it slightly differently than what I recall Buttercup singing.

5:24 pm

Layne

scribble, I just saw it on tv last night for the first time. I thought it looked like what my brother did with his Sunday dinner when he was 9.

5:24 pm

Douglas

Indeed yes! Peg Kaplan at the blog what if? seems to consider it the definitive test between male and female

5:25 pm

Layne

Douglas, it worked at our house. My husband wants to go try one, and I say he's going alone.

5:26 pm

jillibus

anybody tried the quebecois poutine? french fries with gravy and cheese curds

5:26 pm

Douglas

scribble, you fit the profile perfectly...I have yet to find a woman who considers such a concoction to be yummy...the only man who didn't express interest in a KFC Famous Bowl was gay.

5:27 pm

musicmom

LOL Douglas --- I was just passing through and saw your comment. My husband thinks it looks disgusting but he is DEFNITELY NOT gay:-))

5:28 pm

lynxxx

I am struggling with the Os - have only the vege and the whale. Any help greatly appreciated. Also AEs - nver can see them. TY

5:28 pm

scribble

hmmm....douglas do you find it appetizing?

5:28 pm

Anniebrook

jilli, i had the poutine many years ago when i was in quebec. my husband loved it, not i.

5:28 pm

Layne

LOL, musicmom!

5:28 pm

musicmom

I have to agree - i don't want all that mushed together

5:29 pm

Alien

I need 2 7's. I have the CO one.

5:29 pm

Douglas

I had one a few days ago on the recommendation of the blog Fraters Libertas, and I enjoyed it. I believe the KFC folks intend for the contents to be mixed, resulting in long strings of melted cheese.

5:29 pm

Layne

lynxxx, I have an or 4/5. O + first three letters of that old Sylvania lisening device.

5:29 pm

musicmom

re7 and to 7

5:30 pm

Douglas

It is also about a $1.00 cheaper than KFC's usual offerings.

5:30 pm

Layne

Alien, the RE 7/32 is like Chernobyl, a nuclear re*****.

5:30 pm

Layne

Douglas, how big a draw is that $1 cheaper thing?

5:30 pm

musicmom

oc6 - first three letters of a fall month+french king

5:30 pm

jillibus

sylvania listening device?

5:31 pm

musicmom

Husband's home and it's dinner time. We will not be eating mush:-)

5:31 pm

Douglas

The $1 cheaper thing is relatively irrelevant...

5:31 pm

Layne

thanks for the clue, musicmom.

5:31 pm

Layne

jilibus, what people listened to before they had TV's.

5:32 pm

lynxxx

Ditto musicmom.

5:32 pm

jillibus

thx again, layne, silly me

5:33 pm

Douglas

Well, that oc 6 certainly isn't a word I use every day. Or any day, for that matter...

5:33 pm

scribble

bye peopleses...gonna go eat. c-ya all in a little while! :-)

5:34 pm

Layne

the oc 6 is not a terribly useful concept in the US of A.

Douglas

Thanks for the yo5/16, lynxxx

5:40 pm

boatierra

This is a bugger of a puzzle.

5:40 pm

A sculpture representing a standing nude young man, especially one produced in Greece before the fifth century B.C. And you think I'm creepy for wanting to kidnap a talented young singer and make her into a diva! Those ancient Greeks, you gotta keep an eye on them!

Judy_2u

5:50 pm

Layne

Judy_2u, see my clue to lynxxx, and follow it. The other 2 ae's will come to you then.

FranMag

5:53 pm

Layne

Fran, you may need a fish. The clue is, "thespian."

5:54 pm

FranMag

you're right layne, throw it over!!!

5:54 pm

Layne

One large mackeral, coming up!

5:54 pm

jbergenudd

where does the fish come from?

5:54 pm

jbergenudd

what's the history behind?

5:55 pm

Layne

jbergenudd, when someone misses a common or obvious word, they say, "slap me with a fish," or some such.

5:55 pm

FranMag

is the ac6/30 just as easy?

5:56 pm

Layne

ac 6/30 is not so obvious OR common. Think mental sharpness, also called mental ac****.

5:57 pm

FranMag

thanks layne, knew it had to have the Y couldn't see how to connect them!

5:57 pm

Layne

YW, FranMag.

5:57 pm

Munner

5:57 pm

Layne

LOL, Munner!

5:58 pm

FranMag

munner, you are looking very festive, is that one of the masks from eyes wide shut?

5:58 pm

Munner

I don't know. I just thought it looked cheery!

5:59 pm

Layne

Your lovely mask looks rather Mardi Gras-ish to me, and I like that!

5:59 pm

FranMag

funny, i picked mine because it reminded me of the masque of the red death! not cheery at all.

5:59 pm

Munner

I tried to find one from {Phantom of the OPera but could never get one to upload properly.

6:01 pm

Layne

Adieu, evening babblers. The long lovely twilight beckons me to go outdoors.

6:03 pm

FranMag

6:03 pm

Munner

7:59 pm

soulless_warrior

i'm new also...

8:00 pm

Jen34

all right, 8 more to go -- 2nd cr 5/12 anyone?

8:00 pm

helenkeller

lol jen - i considered using the one you chose! checked out their web site & everything, lol

8:00 pm

Jen34

:o)

8:00 pm

Marisun

ni are the first two letters, the letter has 4 letters and is worth 6 points

8:01 pm

Marisun

im new as well.

8:01 pm

helenkeller

of course, being from chicago, i can't very well give props to new york, unless absolutely necessary :)

8:01 pm

Jen34

ocnfish, the clue means to take ni, add the ca word with 4 letters (worth six points), but to take away the last vowel. Clear as mud?

8:01 pm

BGL

Let's see how to explain this. any time there is a #/# it refers to the number of letters and the number of points the word is worth. The initial letters are the first two letters of the word. You can find these on Lickety's page at the bottom.

8:01 pm

Marisun

but learning quickly

8:01 pm

soulless_warrior

thanks marisun

8:01 pm

mab

oh helen, you just think you're so smart, don't you? well, i happened to have done the grid without the list and finding each word backward. ha! :D

8:01 pm

Munner

Jen, I am still trying to figure out your clue for the no 8. Those letters didn't add up to 8 for me, but then my brain is on slow speed.

8:01 pm

helenkeller

marisun = smart :)

8:02 pm

helenkeller

munner - i tried it too, the clue is wrong -use the first 4 letter of the evening word

8:03 pm

Eva

hi stid-was just typing you a clue, but Jen got there first

8:06 pm

Munner

Jen, just checked out your icon and remembered that your are from Nashville. My son and his wife have lived there a year and are looking to buy a home. What are some good school districts? Their oldest will be 4 in July.

8:06 pm

stidmama

thanks Jen.

8:07 pm

Jen34

I'm also a teacher :)

8:07 pm

8:09 pm

Munner

He works for ATF in Brentwood. His wife likes being a little "in the country", but they don't want him to have to travel too far to work. Of course, we'd like them on the side of Nashville closer to us in Atlanta!

8:09 pm

Marisun

mida

8:09 pm

Munner

I taught every grade from K through high school--favorites were 3rd, 5th, and middle school.

8:10 pm

Jen34

of course! Brentwood is actually a very good area, plus Franklin, which is south of Brentwood. Pretty muich anywhere in south Nashville, you'll have a pretty good school district

8:10 pm

BGL

Okay, just checked tomorrow's theme. Who is Lenny Bruce?

8:11 pm

Jen34

you are a brave woman to teach middle school :)

8:11 pm

stidmama

not as good a day as yours Helen! LOL but not half bad. lovely weather, so even though I was not home for much of the time, it was still good to be "out"

8:11 pm

Munner

They're definitely not loaded with money since he's just beginning his career, but they are great money managers.

8:11 pm

Ping

Lenny was a comedian, right?

8:11 pm

kierlex

k word hints pleeez

8:12 pm

Jen34

franklin can be expensive, but you can find some property more "out in the country" that is cheaper and still close to good schools

8:12 pm

BGL

I loved middle school when i taught. Now I do youth minsitry and love the middle school group.

8:12 pm

Munner

I agree. Anyone who teaches middle school and enjoys it is a little or a lot wierd themselves. I qualified :)

8:12 pm

Munner

7th grade girls were the worst

8:12 pm

Ping

what is today's theme?

8:12 pm

BGL

kr5/18 - see your cr5/12

8:12 pm

Jen34

I greatly admire middle school teachers, esp. -- you all have to deal with the burgeoning hormones, etc.

Sometimes I lived a sheltered life...

8:13 pm

Jen34

cu 5/14 -- anyone?

8:14 pm

onyx

hey munner, i'll put my two cents in here, i thought that 8th grade girls were the worst creatures on the earth, it takes a saint to teach middle school. i teach high school:

8:14 pm

kierlex

i enter that and it says it's not found =(

8:14 pm

Munner

I will probably pass on the Lenny Bruce theme and post a new photo of one of my little grandsons my son sent me yesterday

8:14 pm

8:14 pm

BGL

kr6/30 is the 5/18+vowel

many of us finish, but we work on it in spurts. There are a few who are really brilliant (you'll meet them probably) but most of us either resign ourselves to not finishing or give up portions of our other activities....

9:04 pm

jakawie

Ae 5/10 is like ae 4/4, drop the last vowel, add two others.

9:12 pm

stidmama

I need an or 4/5 and a 5/12? I have the or 5 that has to do with books...

9:13 pm

9:13 pm

helenkeller

ante is how you start the pot in a poker game

9:14 pm

So has there been any word from Dr_God about all the problems the site has been having the past week or so

9:14 pm

GreyWoulf

?

9:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am looking for an in4 - talk about pathetic!

9:14 pm

hetty

One of the or's, Stid, is the whale; the or4/5 that is. The or5/12 looks similar, but ends with opp of out

9:14 pm

CadFan

I wasn't thinking of that - bad example I guess - seems there are abbreviations that are okay - but heck - cardio is used as a stand alone word anymore...

9:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

gw: he was on earlier saying he had to take the site down- the problem has not yet been identified

9:15 pm

stidmama

okay! thanks to you Hetty I am down to three!

9:16 pm

hetty

Wanting to help you, Stid, having just finished.

9:16 pm

helenkeller

hi to! yep we sure did - i'll be shocked if they call us, it was so rushed, so last minunte, very, very choppy & bad - that's my friend - she overschedules everything & then can't give 100 % to anything, i'm kinda mad at her & taking time to cool off - beside, it was her badgering me for years ! to do this thing

9:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have the in preposition and the in close to it but a different ending vowel...

9:16 pm

GreyWoulf

thanks TO -- I hope it is resolved soon, it can be very frustrating to try to log on from work so I can destress only to find it is down

9:16 pm

helenkeller

but thanks for asking to, that was thoughtful of you :)

9:17 pm

Erda

still trying to get cr5/14 -- any help???

9:17 pm

GreyWoulf

CadFan -- the problem is that the enable dictionary which babble uses is one of the dumbest dictionaries out there

9:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

hk: you never know....good luck!

9:17 pm

CadFan

LOL - hey - I guess no one can expect any game to have every single word known to man....

9:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

cardio is a prefix. not that that necessarily disqualifies a word by enable

9:18 pm

helenkeller

thanks to :)

9:18 pm

stidmama

my last word is a co 4/6 after the old bird...

9:18 pm

stidmama

YAY Hetty!

9:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

stid: is your puter plugged in?

9:19 pm

GreyWoulf

True, CadFan -- I think the real limitation is that enable may be the only one that let's people access it for cheap or free.... I say this because every online vocab game seems to use it

9:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

congrats hetty

9:19 pm

Erda

thank you hetty for kr6

9:45 pm
