kkie - the numbers in the boxes below the grid correspond to the letter above - so, they are telling you there are no words that begin with the upper left 't'
12:40 am

then, below that, there are 12 words that begins with 's' & so forth

I made my son swear to me he would not enlist in the military; he graduates college next month and he wanted to go into Psych Ops, which is basically the front line. He's short in stature with a temper and a Jewish last name - he might as well have "torture me" written across his forehead.

I think it will melt before the day is over because all of the frost is out of the ground.
6:03 am
Eva
I saw an ad on TV last night with a cat who could have been Merp's identical twin. Ive seen that before, so there is a genetic template out there which produces this exact face
6:05 am
cliffopa
one of the kittens has gray splotches in strange places (like inside of legs) and on her face - i saw a grown up identical version at the shelter last week! amazes me.

Hey Brother - I don't have it but would love a clue !!

ahhhhhhhh about to start today's puzzle
9:41 am
Bugzy
seems to be a tricky one today, instantfame...
9:42 am
instantfame
hmmm, well im up to 78 words. but im feeling like the last half will really suck
9:44 am
Bugzy
Me too, 78 and I think I'm stuck...
9:45 am
Hey Brother!
does anyone have the my 6/30?
9:45 am
instantfame
have to hate 3 minute office interruptions during my babble rounds!
9:45 am
Hey Brother!
and i'm still looking for the al 6/24 if anyone's managed to get that one
9:46 am
instantfame
the al ... can also end with s instead of the letter it ends in
9:47 am
Hey Brother!
a little more specific?
9:47 am
instantfame
i think the al6 is a religious jewish word
9:47 am
ursh
muhamed al* + simple sounding of a sail boat
9:48 am
Hey Brother!
aaahh there we go!
9:48 am
Hey Brother!
thanks
9:48 am
instantfame
also.. the one who was queen of the damned... the movie... who died... name is similar
9:49 am
Hey Brother!
ok, last word is that pesky my 6... does anyone have it?
9:49 am
Hey Brother!
ooh i actually figured it out
9:49 am
instantfame
lemme see if ii can get it
9:50 am
Alleyn
al6 = the immigration of Jews to Israel, either as individuals or in groups.
9:51 am
instantfame
odd- it won't take mylars. it works in scrabble.
9:52 am
Inge2
is mylar a brand name?
9:53 am
instantfame
yes that too, but that's not the definition im after hehe
9:54 am
instantfame
dictionary.com doesn't have it--- supposedl the scrabble dictionary comes from merriam-webster. must find out!
9:54 am
Inge2
it won't take "nigra" either, as in the substantia nigra part of the brain
9:55 am
Strider
dictionary.com has the my word = bark of the wax myrtle
9:55 am
instantfame
yeah nigra won't take in scrabble either
9:56 am
Inge2
yet other parts of the brain, e.g., raphe and pons, do work
9:56 am
instantfame
hmm, mylar works as a noun- a polyester film- guess it does tie to the brand name
9:59 am
Marc Freeman
back again, ri6?
10:00 am
instantfame
ties to the first al4
10:02 am
Marc Freeman
Thanks got it
10:05 am
instantfame
sure
10:05 am
Sam
won't take mylar, but takes ny5 and ra5 from the same company
10:05 am

I know, guess those were never trademarked?

***sigh***
10:26 am
inge
why are the 7's giving me such a hard time. Help with mo 7 and mu 7 please
10:27 am
Haz1558
mo7 - three letters of what Oliver Twist wanted, then rearrange the letters of the implement used to get creases out of clothes.
10:27 am
Haz1558
mu7 - mu7 ends in water falling from the sky, reached using a double consonant.
10:27 am
Haz1558
They are unusual words, that's why they're a problem ,inge.
10:29 am
LoriP
149 words. DOne! Monkeyed the yi's, for the touchdown. :)

10:35 am

yay inge!
10:35 am
Haz1558
A recovery room sounds like a good idea! It would be as useful as a penalty box.
10:36 am

Gotta love New England. It was 76 degrees here a couple weeks ago...then 2 days later we got 15 inches!

Haz1558
Hello knight.
10:47 am
Alleyn
hiya all. what a beast. 20 to go including mo6/21 and 2 x mo5/12. help............
10:48 am
ursh
one of the mo5/12 starts with cow sound and ends like music note - slang for money?
10:48 am
Haz1558
mo6/21 adds a vowel to the end of Miss Stuart the newsreader (or Miss Anderson, vintage Scots singer)
10:49 am
ursh
then there is womans name - irish i think
10:49 am
Alleyn
Great clues both. Thanx
10:49 am
ursh
the 6/21 adds another vowel at the end to this name
10:51 am
Marjetta
I guess I need an American clue, I don't know Miss Stuart
10:51 am
Alleyn
ursh. have that one
10:51 am
stidmama
hello all...
10:52 am
Aloyisius
howdy, stid

any clue on the mo7?
10:52 am
Haz1558
There was a ballerina, Miss Shearer (appeared in the film 'Red Shoes;)
10:52 am
Haz1558
Hello stidmama.
10:52 am
KnightTime
hello stid
10:52 am
ursh
knight add another vowel to the mo5/12 before (womans name)
10:52 am
Haz1558
mo7/32 - a charged particle is reached by means of a double helping of a consonant.
10:52 am
Aloyisius
brb.. need food.. 10 to find..
10:53 am
KnightTime
ursh thats 6 letters
10:53 am
KnightTime
need the mo7
10:53 am
ursh
oh darn - sorry - concentrating on ra's
10:53 am
stidmama
ooh HAz! thanks for that mo7!
10:53 am
Haz1558
knight - I clued it below at 10.52.
10:53 am
Alleyn
Haz. You are brilliant but i need another mo5/12 to finish the m words. Then will tackle 4 x ca words
10:54 am
Haz1558
You're welcome stidmama.
10:54 am
Haz1558
Alleyn, I'll run through the mo5/12 words for you.
10:54 am
ursh
alleyn do you have the mo (damp)
10:54 am
KnightTime
ty haz that finshed the 7s for me
10:55 am
Haz1558
mo5/12 - the woman's name, the quality of dampness, extension of mo4/5 (backwards means of making cloth), the point of the story,
10:55 am
Alleyn
why is it not mooli?
10:56 am
Haz1558
Because it's a different vowel on the end....
10:56 am
Book Doctor Gwen
hey, that word for a billiards shot is in here (it was in the grid a few days ago too), both spellings
10:56 am
ursh
cos thats what you squish baby food with!! lol
10:56 am
Alleyn
got the one with an a!
10:57 am

billiards shot, gwen? *regretting not looking up every unfamiliar term*

Hi. Back again. I am missing the ca 4 word that comes between ca 4 Adam's firstborn and the other boy's name.
11:00 am
Haz1558
Have a good time at the gym, Alleyn.
11:01 am
Haz1558
ca plus the beginnings of not high, Merk.
11:01 am
stidmama
Merk it means "a variety of Spanish influenced by Mexican underworld argot with a large admixture of English words, spoken esp. by young Mexican-Americans in cities of the southwestern U.S." abbreviate largest US state by economic status + vowel
11:01 am
Book Doctor Gwen
gr6/36 anyone?
11:01 am
Haz1558
gr6/36 - makes a colour into an adverb
11:01 am
Merk
ty again Haz
11:02 am
Book Doctor Gwen
okay, TY merk!
11:02 am
Haz1558
No problem, Merk.
11:02 am
Merk
I am still missing the two ca 7 ... not the dead meat. I asked before and then the telephone rang and I left. Never got to read any clues.
11:03 am
Haz1558
The dead meat one is mirrored in structure by a later one. One vowel is changed to a sometimes vowel.
11:04 am
Haz1558
The other one, ca7/40 - gives a participle or gerund ending to a man's name. It mirrors the structure of a popular winter sport/hairdressing technique.
11:06 am
caitlyn
Afternoon all........
11:06 am
Merk
I got the man's name and gerund ending, not the sometimes other vowel one yet. ty

Haz1558
Good afternoon, caitlyn.
11:07 am
stidmama
Merk, the other CA 7 that was clued is a type of luggage you travel with...
11:07 am
Haz1558
Merk - other people hinted at it as being the sort of luggage that could be taken into an aircraft, rather than put in the hold.
11:07 am
Merk
I just got it ... and I should know ... I always bring it on the plane with me!

I finished using morewords.com which was not accessible earlier today
12:13 pm
stidmama
good question, inge. Tor is Adam and Ava's "problem child" the one who didn't finish school and now works for merchants and others who have "products" they need to move from one place to another. A wanderer by nature, he is starting to settle down a bit in maturity but still tends to have a short fuse.
12:13 pm
inge
ok, I feel more familiar now with the characters
12:14 pm
stidmama
yes, with big families it's hard to keep everyone straight. Took me years to figure out in my own family that the Auntie Eva who was my grandmother's aunt was the Eva who married my grandfather's uncle... LOL and I still don't have all the cousins straight in my head!

i was super lost
10:32 pm
carra
so true gwen , i only have 53 words
10:32 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
no one can finish without Lickety, except the really insane addicts LOL
10:33 pm
carra
ying should be a word
10:34 pm
carra
your the ying to my yang? lol
10:34 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
one often finds words in the grid that it won't take. it is attached to an abridged dictionary, i assume
10:35 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
which really is a good thing, since if it was attached to the OED there would be thousands of words in there!
10:35 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
grinny!
10:36 pm
carra
i like when i type in a word fast but miss a letter but then it accepted :)
10:36 pm
jillibus
silver -- another big helper is www.morewords.com -- especially with a grid like this one
10:36 pm
MonkeyMind
other words that should have been accepted: mylar, crayloa, aryan
10:37 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i started a list of the "weird" words (in a MSWord doc) and I use it to find the same weird words next time. very handy
10:37 pm
MonkeyMind
oops. crayola. but now i see it's not even in there. lol
10:37 pm
MonkeyMind
sour grapes.
10:37 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
crayola uses the A twice, though -- i tried that too
10:38 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
it takes some words that a brand names, like ra5, and refuses others, like mylar. you just have to type them all in
10:38 pm
MonkeyMind
carra, is that designer established? if not he should audition for project runwy
10:38 pm
MonkeyMind
runway
10:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
my word list is only 240 pages long. who, me, obsessive? naaaaaw . . .
10:39 pm
MonkeyMind
is ra5 a brand name or an actual material?
10:39 pm
jillibus
it takes some french words like no** but refuses others...
10:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
ra5 has gone the way of aspirin, i guess: used to be a brand name, has become a generic
10:39 pm
silverdust4444
its an actual material- synthetic
10:40 pm
MonkeyMind
like BandAids and Xerox
10:40 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
yup! tho i bet this game wouldn't take either of those!
10:40 pm
MonkeyMind
who generates these grids? anyone know?
10:41 pm
MonkeyMind
i've found that going back to the archived chat log is sooooo helpful as far as clues go.
10:41 pm
jillibus
I think they are computer generated by Dr_God

11:03 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i can just stomach mythbusters, which has something like a reality show format
11:03 pm

and occasionally i watched insomniac, which also had a reality-show-like format
11:05 pm

the trouble is, we're raising a whole generation that expects sound bites instead of analysis. And the distinction between news and entertainment is blurred.....
11:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
but reality shows where the victims have to be cutthroat bastards to "win" are just sick, IMO
11:05 pm

My nephew analyzed two segments, Larry King interviewing someone and Bill O'Reily interviewing the same person. In a 9 minute interview, the person was able to make something like 5 times more statement than in O'R. Because of the difference in so-called objective journalistic styles.

11:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen
speling is overrated enneeway
11:33 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

11:34 pm
jillibus
well, I looked up that to6 and it means something else besides. But your clue was great, Gwen!
11:35 pm
jillibus
our spellings can be justified by their histories in most cases
11:35 pm
Mom01
gwen...spelling is like reality tv....lol
11:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen
(brain fart is not in the grid!)
11:36 pm
Mom01
history shouldn't be a prison..it's the future
11:36 pm
jillibus
one little rule I was taught by my dad at age 5 is so useful and so unknown these days -- that a double consonant makes the vowel before it short -- if anyone knows waht that means nowadays
11:37 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
i mean the only reason we do not have proper spelling reform is the history argument, and it's really not a strong enuf reason, IMO
11:37 pm
jillibus
what ;)
11:37 pm
saphyre
I learned that too jilli - hmm does that make us old?
11:37 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
english has quite a few spelling rules. not one is free of silly exceptions, tho
11:38 pm
jillibus
but the history is what makes words so interesting
11:38 pm
jillibus
it makes ME old!
11:39 pm
jillibus
do you know and exception to that one, Gwen?
11:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
sure, but every other major language is "shepherded" so to spek to keep it rational. englishc spelling is stuck where it was some 400-500 years ago
11:39 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
we stopped wearing big hats with buckles but we can't stop spelling things in ridiculous ways?
11:40 pm
minimel

11:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

11:43 pm

11:43 pm
jillibus

11:45 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
in many countries (France, Germany) there is a panel empowered by the gubmint to set correct spelling for the national language. we should have something similar. they should go very slow with the reform, of course, but it needs to be done
11:45 pm
jillibus
