I'm really glad that I've had a year's worth of Babble experience for today's grid. it would be much harder for a new player, I think.

pinkhatlil
am i the only one struggling with this puzzle today? at 1st i thought this puzzle would be easy with a few words to find but it is proving to be quite challenging.
4:31 am
Haz1558
It's because it's all individual words, some quite unusual.
4:31 am
sprite
pinkhat: it is a real struggler, we were just commenting on that. Lots of uncommon words that we only know because of babble.
4:32 am
Atalante
it sfunny, I dreamt we had a grid with 32 words today. I wasn't far off!
4:32 am
FMitch
It's a little grid but big enough to hide a French car in (or fruit).
4:32 am

Close enough!
4:33 am

The fruit, but not the car, FMitch!
4:33 am

Ooooh, FMitch, you're clever.
4:34 am

lol thats it I've peak already
4:34 am

i should have known better the smaller the puzzle the harder it becomes. im not familar with the obscure words that are in the grid so i'll call it a day for now.
4:34 am

It always annoys me that 'thon' (short for that or the one) isn't allowed. In Ireland the pop group is jokingly referred to as 'Take Thon'
4:35 am

4:35 am

4:35 am

Lickety's is up
4:37 am

But we'll all punish ourselves for a while to come....
4:37 am

4:37 am

yeah, this is fun
4:37 am

pinkhat: see the links at the bottom of the page.
4:38 am
Haz1558
pink - look under Friends of Babble, at the left hand side of the page. You'll see Lickety's Babble CLues in green. It's possible to bring it up alongside babble and enter the words onto it.
4:48 am

Thanks mom!
5:03 am
mattygroves
Hey Freddie, you'll need a rather esoteric dictionary
5:03 am
mom23
yw matty -- finally able to give rather than receive (clues, that is!)
5:03 am
mattygroves
We should be able to have phor! As in phor, what a fit bloke!
5:04 am
sprite
Add a vowel, matty :)
5:04 am
Haz1558
Put a different consonant on the end, matty, ph4/6
5:05 am
sprite
another 6 is a flea. C6 start with eastern word for power, strength; + leave + vowel.
5:05 am
mattygroves
Found Haz's, but not Sprite's...
5:05 am
Atalante
what's the *other* 6 though ...
5:05 am
Haz1558
ep6 is Sprite's.
5:06 am
Atalante
there isnt an ep6
5:06 am
mattygroves
Ahh...was trying to put the vowel elsewhere.
5:06 am
sprite
E5 you mean
5:06 am
Haz1558
Sorry - ep5/14 - the magistrate
5:07 am
sprite
I have 2xC and a T, still missing one 6.
5:07 am
Atalante
same here sprite. its a w,c,b or p
5:08 am
mattygroves
Now....Eastern word for strength?
5:08 am
sprite
It is a B, C or T.
5:08 am
sprite
You know it, matty. Like in Tai ....
5:08 am
mattygroves
I do, thanks St
5:08 am
Haz1558
Any one narrowing it down further?
5:08 am
mattygroves
Sprite, that should have read!
5:09 am
mattygroves
Got the C! Two sixes down, and two to go.
5:09 am
Atalante
so its a B or C ...
5:09 am
sprite
Ata: can only be a C or B then.
5:09 am
Haz1558
It's not a C (she said trembling)
5:10 am
mattygroves
Now...how about the fruit?
5:10 am
FMitch
There is a bi6/27
5:10 am
sprite
wow! We're looking for a B6.
Matty: sour. Very sour.
5:10 am
Haz1558
So there is!
5:11 am
Atalante
bi + abbreviated french car
5:11 am
Haz1558
Or President Reagan follows the pen.
5:12 am
sprite
Bi6: very tiny amount, usually depicted by a greek m, change first letter.
5:12 am
Linda0
is this the smallest one yet?
5:12 am
mattygroves
Thanks Haz. So have the C the flea, the B the very small amount, and the t the bone - so I'm missing the fruit, am I? What letter does it start with?
5:13 am
mattygroves
I thought the C was the flea?
5:13 am
Haz1558
ci6 - think French car having lost a vowel
5:13 am
sprite
Linda: I don't think so. I think we had one in the 20s once. But it is a long time ago.
5:13 am

Haz1558
we5/22 - w plus the first three letters of the resounding e4/6, finish with the beverage sounding letter
5:15 am
sprite
bored: the e4 is something you hear again and again.
The W5 is W + that E4, change last letter.
5:16 am

Sleep well, mom.

5:17 am

thanks Spite and Haz. i've got one ec4 but there's another one?
5:17 am
sprite
Same word with different last vowel, bored.
5:18 am
Haz1558
There are a few - change the vowel on the end of the resounding one to get a Chaucerian word for each. Also et4/6 - an artistic technique
5:18 am
sprite
And fireworks!
5:18 am

Eight left - and I've come to a grinding halt. I need 3 fours and 5 fives - I need 2 Cs, and I, three Ts, a P and an E
5:23 am

The worrying thing is that we KNOW those words, Haz. Even the meaning of most.
5:23 am
Atalante
lol I bet! at least he should like the T6 though :)
5:24 am
Haz1558
Oh, he'll accept anything medical!

His father has even suffered from go4/7, so that'll be okay.

Ywis, Ata, ywis!
5:27 am
Atalante
I'm sure Haz would love to drop an etui or two into conversation!
5:27 am
Haz1558
I have a horrible feeling that if I start to use some of these words, the men in the white coats from the home for the bewildered would be summoned!
5:28 am

they're coming to take us away aha, they're coming to take us away...
5:28 am

My daughter sewed my mother an etui with the word 'etui' stitched on it for no other reason than that Mom said she always wanted to use the word in coversation - she could say 'my granddaughter made me an etui'.
5:28 am
sprite
that's just great, matty!
5:28 am
Haz1558
I'd happily drop an etui! My sewing of the Christmas turkey was achieved at some risk to life and limb, but I used red thread (a) to disguise possible blood loss and (b) to look jolly festive.
5:28 am
mattygroves
Mum does the NY Times crossword, where Etui (along with oleo and oreo) are common visitors.
5:29 am

5:29 am

Must have been a bit fibrey.... :D
5:30 am
Haz1558
Yes, an embroidery triumph. No, I sewed the stuffing into the neck of the turkey. It's what my mother did.......
5:31 am
Haz1558
Atalante - if he did the sewing, there would be green drapes and curved needles and me acting as nurse. No, keep him out of the kitchen, I say.
5:31 am

Always amused at your reactions to Scots words, most of them are only used colloquially and wouldn't be considered "proper" English by schools etc. Though no doubt of ancient origins. Just looking at mt cat, and she's a hell of a we5/22...fat camp for her!!!!

hi Jac, yes it is, but still fun.
lizmac: I love those words. But they are difficult to spot, especially the first time. Most english words look 'normal' to me now, but scottish... and irish... and yiddish... they can really stump me :)

towards the bottom of this page, there are the "freinds of babble" links... in the center column is a link for "lickity's babble clues" it will give you the first two letters of all the words in alphabetical order, with the number of letters and points for each word... it's great for helping you find what you need
9:01 am
smooth_pappa
for example: HI 5,16... that means you are looking for a 5 letter word that begins with HI, and is worth 16 points.

Atalante
I started with an outline-ish of light grey pen, but it wasn't perfect. then w/colour. then black outlining on top!
10:07 am
Vicuna
Aha. I was picturing the black going down first and then filling in, but finishing with the black makes more sense. Anyway, it's gorgeous.
10:09 am
Atalante
I've always started from the black before, but it seems to make more sense putting on last, I've decided
10:10 am
Vicuna
Gives you more flexibility, I think, and also probably ends up neater.
10:11 am
Atalante
I think so. I'm certainly going to keep on working that way

Hi, Stid, and all end-of-the-year Babblers. I have had the best time with this little grid. I will take a personal (mini) bow for having monkeyed all of the really strange ones today. I was down to nine words, went to Lickety's List, and just went berserk on the keyboard. (This is not implying any real intelligence for the words that came out!) But, at any rate, FIREWORKS! Happy New Year to all.

6:27 pm
grammaterri1
Bichon most of my grands now call me the G-ma, lol
6:27 pm
Judi
Thank you, jili. This was the smallest puzzle I think we've ever had. I finished it in about 30 min. Only had to cheat with the list on the last 5 words. Frankly, I think it was an insult to our collective intelligence.
6:27 pm
bichon
I'm hoping to be Bubby, after my Bubby Becky
6:27 pm
metaleather
I disagree. I'm still searching for a few words.
6:28 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
just finished the puzzle by making up a woid (if you know what I mean)
6:28 pm

6:28 pm
bichon
Bubby is a Yiddish grandma
6:28 pm
grammaterri1
lol book
6:29 pm
jillibus
I wish using the list was not considered cheating. Asking for clues to words somebody else has found isn't!
6:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
when you have only one left, you know what letter it starts from on the grid, and you just keep typing intil you get one 8-)
6:29 pm
Judi
Bigger is better. Although, anything over 300 words is just ridiculous. So, I guess we just need to have a happy medium.
6:29 pm
grammaterri1
aww then I shall call ya bubbybichon after the blessed event! boy or girl?
6:29 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
jillibus, using the list isn't cheating, is "research" LOL
6:29 pm
Becca Lorum
Hello everyone
6:30 pm

Good point, Jili. Poor use of words. I shall henceforth refer to it as "cluing".

Hi jili
6:31 pm
Judi
Sometimes the monster grids are more intimidating. You type and type and type and never seem to make any headway.
6:31 pm
grammaterri1
that happens bichon, but of course I know you don't care ( :
6:31 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

6:32 pm

using all help available can be considered altruistic if the babbler finishes fast and can then offer clues to others - grin
6:32 pm

9:40 pm
Jacula
A tip - if you are 5 weeks into trying to recover from a cold.flu type buggy thing, NEVER buy tissues with menthol & balm. I think it's the menthol in them that is giving me sneezing fits right now. Not fun when it's 3.29am and your partner, and you son are sleeping, and you've got up quietly due to hot flushes (flashes in USA)... and you're still waiting for your daughter to arrive home.
9:40 pm
LeslieAnn
also chort. it is a chortle that is cut short.
9:40 pm
echomira
does the game tell you when you finish? I thought there were 35 words.
9:41 pm
LeslieAnn
egads, jac. that does sound difficult.
9:41 pm
kalea
there are, ec4mira
9:41 pm
LeslieAnn
sometimes there are fireworks, echo, but not always for non-pro members. if you've got 35, you are done
9:41 pm
smooth_pappa
it does if you upgrade to pro, echo... but you are right... 35... you're done. :)
9:41 pm
Jacula
ec4/6mira - yes, it tells you when you've finished if you are a pro player.
9:42 pm
LeslieAnn
can i bother anyone for the second letter of the w?
9:42 pm
Jacula
Non-pro players only get the stats and finishing fireworks for their first 2 weeks.
9:42 pm
LeslieAnn
thanks pappa, as the monkeys go to work
9:42 pm

11:45 pm
stidmama
So here's a hypothetical -- if you built a platform across the international dateline and straddled it... would you be in two times at once and would this create a paradox if you did something... on which day would you have done it?
11:45 pm
stidmama
*anticipating Helen's fireworks, puts fingers in ears*
11:45 pm
Jacula
Bloody hell, Stid! I'll save that q til later!
11:46 pm

Evening everyone. Happy New year. Hope you all had a great xmas
11:50 pm
stidmama
Hoot it was great! we had a long leisurely morning at home! *grin* You?
11:50 pm
hootowl
Memphis just thinks it's abig city. More like downtown with appendiges
11:51 pm
helenkeller
we had a douglas fir last few years, this year because he's been so grief-stricken, i let him pick out the tree all by himself - usually it's quite the involved process, as i MUST have the perfect tree -
11:51 pm
Jacula
Hi Hoot! How are you and how is the greywoulf family?
11:51 pm
stidmama
So what type of tree did you get this year? I am partial to scotch pines -- lovely scent. but allergic...
11:51 pm
hootowl
Far as I know he is fine. Was on last night but I missed him.
11:52 pm
hootowl
apendiges?
11:52 pm
helenkeller
i just let him pick it out, didn't check it or anything, he picked out a balsam - so needless to say, needles everywhere & ornaments falling off all the time - serves me right for being nice!
11:53 pm
Angelsong
Hi all...
11:53 pm
stidmama
oh but balsams smell really good too... I think if I could handle the allergy problems I'd get a nice pine for the corner of the room and then put balsam garlands up elsewhere.
11:53 pm
hootowl
We got a Frasier. It was either that or another white pine. Next year we'll do a bit of trimming though. Used dozens of ornaments and it still looks naked cause the branches hid a lot of them.
11:53 pm
helenkeller
didn't do the 'freshness test' - but it made life easier for him for those few seconds, i suppose that should be enough for me ------another *crash*
11:53 pm
stidmama
hi Angelsong! HAPPY BABBLEVERSARY!
11:53 pm
Jacula
It's just the menthol addition to tissues this Christmas tht has had me sneezing.
11:54 pm
helenkeller

11:54 pm
stidmama

11:54 pm
hootowl
And temps today reached low 60's
11:55 pm
stidmama

Angelsong

11:56 pm

11:56 pm
helenkeller

11:56 pm
stidmama

11:56 pm
Jacula
I'm off to bed again now, girls, I think. Will cuddle up to handsome man who might be a bit crosss wih me, in his msleep, for not being there before.
11:57 pm
