To be honest, I'm a computer programmer, and I suddenly got curious as to what algorithm can actually solve this game. I want to try to write one in C# as a mental exercise, but of course I need a dictionary for that to work.

Your best bet would be to write to Dr-God to find out exactly which version he uses. It's not the most up-to-date one.

3:47 am
Haz1558

ruby, try using the square technique. Find four likely letters in a square and see how many words you can get from it. Also there are quite a few palindromes in this grid, so you get two words for the price of one.
3:47 am
Haz1558

I do hope it improves, Yvo, It's still warmer than Chicago I take it?

I worked on reception at a m inor injuries at the local hospital A man came in because the boot lid(tailgate!!) had hit him on the head. They checked him over and sent him off with a leaflet about head injuries. About an hour later I saw him coming back across the road with his wife. I thopught he had got a new symptom. No - the bootlid had come down again and hit his WIFE on the head!! Time to get a new car I'd say!!

one of my students told me about when she went to visit Auschwitz, and it was bitter, bitter cold, and she was so distracted. she was chastising herself for complaining of the cold, and feeling like she should be understanding where she was, etc, but at the same time, she was really frigging COLD and it was painful, and she was hating it....

like hell it does triff,everyone else describes my boy as an angel,a perfect child,helping others..i really know he is a deamon spawn ascended from the seventh circle of hell;/
7:32 am
mom2han8

LOL Hego... and that's great Trif! I agree that it is often enlightening to hear others describe one's child.
7:33 am
mom2han8

LOL Crossy... that is how I feel when my kid is described as helpful and "a joy"....
7:33 am
crosshair

because it gets even worse when you realize that this behavior is just for you
7:33 am
bichon

When ever I went to parent/teacher conferences I always heard what a darling child he/she was. I never contradicted, but I certainly knew better.
7:33 am
mom2han8

I tell them to spend 15 minutes in my house, LOL.
7:34 am
mom2han8

My daughter tells me that she behaves as she does at home because she knows that she is unconditionally loved her (can anyone say "snowjob"?????)....
7:34 am
bichon

Kids would never talk to their friends the way they talked to us
7:34 am
crosshair

lol mom,i did one better,i quietly fired up the web cam and taped about an hour or so,put it in a flash key and sent it to school with him lol
7:35 am
mom2han8

I guess it is better for her to be her mean, evil self here, rather than out in public...
7:35 am
mom2han8

OMG... I would NOT want my kid to talk to me the way she talks to her friends. She is downright mean to them. Don't quite know why they hang on.... she has that Alpha female thing going on with them, LOL.
7:36 am
mom2han8

Crossy... believe me I have thought of doing it, but in the end I just let her be... I am sure I was, on occasion, no walk in the park.
7:36 am
crosshair

though i feel a tad sorry for the offspring this morning.it is blowing and howling out there.but it is only a 15 min walk
7:37 am
mom2han8

Mine has to walk home today... 5 blocks. She was carrying on as if I told her that she had to go out and dig ditches. And, luckily, she finally found her keys this morning or she would have been waiting outside for me for about 1/2 an hour.
7:37 am
crosshair

but good thing about in the house..it is not a democracy,it is a dictatorship and i am fidel;))
7:37 am
oodleberry

so what happened when you sent it to the school cross
7:37 am
bichon

I think girls are much more difficult to deal with than boys. Some of the things that came out of her mouth....
7:37 am
mom2han8

Initially she was refusing to bring her hat, scarf, mittens until I reminded her that 5 degrees may feel like below 0 this afternoon.
7:37 am
crosshair

the guidance councillor found it"enlightening"
7:37 am
mom2han8

OMG bichon... I agree.
7:38 am
mom2han8

I would never let the guidance counselor see my kid in action at home; it would reflect poorly on me somehow I am sure.
7:38 am
crosshair

i just told my boy to poke his head out the door..he ran for the hat and mitts
7:38 am
bichon

I know that when my granddaughter were born their mothers [my daughter and d.i.l.] were so happy. I just stayed muym
7:39 am
crosshair

lol,nothing like finding out on your own;0
7:39 am
mom2han8

I am one of four siblings, all girls... I don't know how my parents did it. We were terrible.
7:40 am
oodleberry

I think maybe he is going through a rebellious stage and sees you as a threat to his freedom and tests the boundaries to see how much he can get away with
7:40 am
Atalante

does everyone have guidance counsellors over there?
7:40 am
bichon

To this day I tell my daughter who has a daughter of her own some of the things she said to me and can't believe she would be so mean to her beloved mother
7:40 am
mom2han8

OMG Crossy, anytime my kid has ever had an issue at school (almost never) they always find some way to ask how things at home are, LOL... And these people know me very, very well... I am like, OMG you people know me!
7:40 am
crosshair

7:41 am
oodleberry

I thought I knew everything when I turned 21... NOT
7:41 am
mom2han8

Bichon, recently my own mother heard my daughter in action and told her that I never spoke to my mother that way.... as for my other siblings, well.... so, it was nice to hear that I never actually uttered some of the things I am sure I must have been thinking in my twisted teenage mind.
7:41 am
hego

all of this sounds like normal development to me.
7:41 am
gran

re 7/32 and re 8/45 please
7:41 am
mom2han8

Our middle and high schools have guidance counselors as a matter of course.
7:41 am
Atalante

and what do they do? like life coaches for kids?
7:42 am
mom2han8

gran... think deer.. compound word... color + what a dog wags and its plural.
7:42 am

if i had ever talked to my father the way my son talks to me,my head would be on backwards or he would shoot me for rabies
7:42 am
Atalante

mom to the PB!
7:42 am
oodleberry

ok I like your reverse psychology you use on hime
7:43 am
mom2han8

ATA.. I was on our local Board of Ed for several years... I, too, would like to know what they do... LOL! Though my daughter has a friend who speaks to the guidance counselor all the time and says that she has been very helpful to her (this kid has some real issues in addition to being an absolute drama queen).
7:43 am
gran

Thanks and finished!
7:43 am
mom2han8

OMG... ATa... did not realize. Sorry.
7:43 am

Congrats Gran.
7:44 am
Atalante

whatever happened to being able to go to your teacher if you had any issues! :)
7:44 am
mom2han8

It is all part of the process of growing up. In a few years she will be fine.
7:44 am
hego

I'm impressed gran!
7:44 am
mom2han8

Whatever happened to going to your parents if you had issues, LOL?
7:44 am
crosshair

sort of ata,more like really patient people who keep them pointed in the right direction in life and school when the child just thinks that parents are idiots
7:45 am
Atalante

lol even more true, mom!
7:45 am
hego

What does the 9 start with?
7:45 am
oodleberry

cause the teacher is an authority figure
7:45 am
Christine

Rhere's an old yiddish blessing/curse, "may you have children of your own one day".
7:45 am
mom2han8

My kid definitely talks to me, Thank God... my husband is often surprised by her conversations with me.... but I like to remind him that when she asked him what gay was he replied, "happy"... LOL.
7:46 am
Atalante

who is there in loco parentis
7:46 am
crosshair

omg
7:46 am

I remember my mum trying to tell me what condoms were for when I was 18!
7:46 am

No Chris, I hope you have a kid just like you one day, even better. :-)
7:47 am

Today my daughter always calls me up for parenting advice for my 2 y.o. g'daughter. I always inwardly chuckle
7:47 am
EvaNadine

mornin babblers!
7:47 am
mom2han8

Some kids use the guidance counselors, others use teachers or principals, etc... I guess it depends on the kid. Like I said, sometimes mine actually uses here actual parent!
7:47 am

though i find that the boys in this age group seem to have a facination with the derrogetory slang terms for same sex couples

hi eva!
7:48 am
EvaNadine

how are we this morning?
7:48 am
crosshair

howdy eva
7:49 am
mom2han8

OMG Crossy... I was at school in the beginning of the year and heard several 13-year-old boys bandying about some really harsh terms... I rounded them all up and took them to the principal... I am so well liked now it is not even funny.... I explained to them, on the way to the office, that they would NEVER use certain words to describe women, blacks, asians, etc... so why was it acceptable to use derogatory terms for homosexuals???? Though I swear fat people are still fair game at all age levels.
7:49 am
crosshair

we are freezing with a fine cracked glaze:/
7:49 am
mom2han8

Good Eva... just venting about our children. Nothing new, LOL.
7:50 am
oodleberry

eva if I say I am doing fine then you are fine and if I say I am doing badly then you are doing badly? We is a collective word meaning you and I. :D
7:50 am
EvaNadine

unless you count fiances in the "children" category, i have none to complain about. :)
7:50 am
hego

They can count
7:51 am
EvaNadine

we are only as strong as our weakest link, are we not, oodle? ;)
7:51 am
mom2han8

Well, maybe someday Eva... the reason people encourage others to reproduce is because misery loves company, LOL.
7:51 am
Atalante

my husband actually asked me how to cook a jacket potato in a microwave yesterday
7:51 am
crosshair

well,the kid is not smoking,drinking or on drugs and has yet to bring a pregnant girlfriend home,so i should be thankfull
7:51 am
mom2han8

I count my husband in the children category some days.
7:51 am
mom2han8

Very true Crossy, but there is still time, LOL.
7:52 am
crosshair

shh mom
7:52 am
mom2han8

Ata... be thankful he had the wherewithal to give it a try.
7:52 am
Atalante

he didn't. he was sitting looking at the potato wonderingly
7:52 am
mom2han8

I actually came home from work last week when they were home and they had waited for me to feed them lunch... I was like, "you people must be kidding me"!
7:53 am
oodleberry

I really don't know if we would consider a weak link in our midst now would we eva. We are not amused. (*giggles*)
7:53 am
mom2han8

Oh, ok Ata... that makes far more sense.
7:53 am
Atalante

this is a man who has lived on his own for over 10 years. it's not as if he can't cook
7:53 am
hego

It was way easier to ask you, Ata.
7:53 am
crosshair

lol ata,i do all the cooking here,send your hubby over and ill show him chicken a la king and rigatoni a la vodka
7:53 am
EvaNadine

hints for the 9?
7:53 am
mom2han8

It was his way of passively asking you to make it for him, as I am sure you well know.
7:53 am
hego

And bacon ala anything!
7:53 am
bojazz

potatoes? microwave? what are you talking about?? lol
7:53 am

crosshair

lol hego
7:54 am
mom2han8

OMG Hego I was just going to say that.
7:54 am
Atalante

if he couldn't cook, I would help him. it's the fact he was obviously much more happy distrubing me from trying to finish an assignment than spend 2 microseconds considering the matter!
7:54 am

7:54 am
Atalante

My husband will not eat a microwaved potato.
7:55 am
mom2han8

I call it "learned helplessness" Ata....
7:55 am
crosshair

no bojazz,a microwave can come in handy with a good baked tater,you start them in the microwave for 6 minutes,turning them halfway,THEN you finish them off in the oven till they are nice and crispy..it cuts down the cooking time greatly
7:55 am
Atalante

I call it bloody annoying :P
7:55 am
oodleberry

how does he know if it is a micro wave potato if you mash them up???
7:55 am
hego

And why can't they ever find anything?
7:55 am

exactkly, crossy. just speeds things up

Hego.. many years ago I heard Marlo Thomas describing a fight she has with her husband, former talk show host Phil Donahue, regarding lost items... she tells him that she was born with ovaries and they do not come equipped with "lost things detectors"... I was peeing in my pants and use that line all the time.

She must not like sage
8:02 am
mom2han8

I know.. I am weird. I don't know, there is some spice that I always taste that I really dislike... might be cilantro, which I feel ONLY belongs in Mexican food and, yet, it turns up in things all the time.
8:02 am
hego

Ata is fake poofing again
8:02 am
crosshair

the cornbread one has very little sage
8:03 am
mom2han8

I like sage... so, I don't think that is what it is. OK.. you will really hate me now... but I detest cornbread stuffing. And, yet, I LOVE cornbread... go figure.
8:03 am
hego

I wouldn't call that weird,mom
8:03 am

acccck!
8:04 am

It's like I have this thing about fruit in its natural state.. I will eat any fruit as nature intended... just don't cook it or ask me to drink the juice out of it.
8:04 am
hego

who knew?
8:04 am
crosshair


i find most fruit juices(orange,apple) to acidic now and hunt for the low acid formulations
8:05 am
mom2han8

Yes.. it is a strange affliction, I admit... people look at me all the time like, "You don't eat pie???"... I tell them I would eat pie if the fruit in it was raw...
8:05 am
hego

Gosh, darn Crossy, you are a good cook.
8:05 am
crosshair

with acid reflux i do not need to be adding to it
8:05 am
mom2han8

The only fruit juice I can stomach at all is apricot nectar, which, of course is terrible for you... you may as well just go ahead and have a coke.
8:05 am

8:07 am

8:08 am

8:15 am
mom2han8

Just got a text about doing lunch with friends... so I should really go and accomplish something here before I need to get ready...
8:15 am
hego

finally got the nine, did not find it goofy
8:16 am
mom2han8

And yet, here I sit... not really looking forward to going out in this weather... brrrrr!
8:16 am

Obviously some people do not cart their boats around.
8:16 am

You'll have fun, mom
8:16 am
mom2han8

It builds off of the 7/28???
8:17 am
hego

yes, got it
8:17 am
mom2han8

Usually I look forward to Monday lunch... we do it every week, but my one friend has been a little contentious and bossy of late... she is beginning to annoy me just a tad, LOL...
8:17 am
hego

7,28 right
8:17 am
hego

maybe somethings going on in her life.
8:18 am
mom2han8

got it...
8:18 am
mom2han8

Absolutely hego, which I why I have bit my tongue, lip, etc... she has very little control of her husband/children... so she feels lately like she needs to control me...
8:19 am
hego

ah, control issues
8:19 am
mom2han8

She is a lovely woman, but there will come a time when I will have to tell her if the behavior continues... would never do it at "Monday lunch", as others will be present.
8:20 am
mom2han8

I am not a pushover, just trying to be patient (which does not come naturally... LOL) because I truly love her.
8:20 am
hego

yes, the back off speech needs to be made
8:21 am
mom2han8

Last week she began instructing me about something that I already thought I had "shut down"... and I just gave her a look and she stopped. It's funny, I sometimes think that she just cannot help herself, LOL... and, of course, if you knew her mother!!!
8:22 am
hego

it's weird how we all become our mother
8:23 am
mom2han8

My secret weapon is to call her "Betty" (her mother's name), which I have NEVER done...
8:23 am
mom2han8

I am decidedly NOT my mother... my sister is, though.
8:23 am
hego

Make it seem like an accidental slip. lol
8:23 am
mom2han8

I am, however, my father... don't know if that is better or worse, LOL.
8:24 am
mom2han8

Yeah... Freudian...
8:24 am
hego

So am I
8:25 am
mom2han8

My father was my primary caretaker (he worked nights and my mother worked days) when I was young... don't know if that has anything to do with it... I really think that we are just wired one way or another from birth.
8:25 am
hego

where do you live in NJ mom?
8:25 am
mom2han8

I used to think my father was terrible, as he was very anti-social... wonderful to me and my sister's, just had no patience for others, LOL. Now I find I am the same.
8:25 am
mom2han8

I live in Bergen County, just outside of Hackensack.
8:26 am
hego

Wow, I grew up in Lyndhurst!
8:26 am
mom2han8

Monday lunches are my social thing for the week... these are the few women I actually enjoy.

8:27 am

My parents are outside of Toms River.
8:27 am
hego

I live near Long Branch
8:28 am
mom2han8

I did not realize you were from NJ.. I live in Maywood... just figured someone from elsewhere would never have heard of it, that's why I said Hackensack.
8:28 am
mom2han8

Oh, ok... it is nice down there.
8:28 am
mom2han8

I like it here though... could do without this weather though...
8:29 am

Very nice. I've been in this area for almost 50 years now.
8:29 am

My husband would love to go South... I spent some time this summer in Savannah and in Charleston, SC... LOVED it...

I like it too.Love the seasons.
8:29 am
hego

Pretty warm and humid, though.
8:30 am
mom2han8

Yes. I love the Fall... but today I think I would trade it all in... it is just bitter.
8:30 am
hego

It doesn't last that long. And then you get spring!
8:30 am
mom2han8

OMG... it was SOOOO hot there in August. But it is really beautiful... every place has trade offs (though my husband says San Diego is the perfect place... just too far for me).
8:30 am

Hello all. Been away during the holidays, too much to do. Now trying to retrain my brain.
8:32 am

I thought Charleston and Savannah were just charming. Nice, livable cities... love Manhattan, but just not what I would consider livable.
8:32 am
mom2han8

Hello Carol.
8:32 am
hego

No, but lovable.
8:33 am
mom2han8

WEll, as I always say... "this is not a Disney movie"... the birds are not going to come through the window and take my laundry down by the river... then hang it up, fold it, and put it away.
8:33 am
mom2han8

No better city in the world, Hego.
8:33 am
hego

ah, too bad
8:33 am

though, that WOULD be awesome, mom. :)

the sh's are driving me crazy grrr
9:43 am
Uneaixoise

part of the prob is, as Jilli pointed out, the spelling on at least a couple of the sh's is STOOPID
9:46 am
Uneaixoise

for example, sh5/16 should be spelled with 2 sometimes vowels
9:46 am
Uneaixoise

and sh7/36 should be spelled with a ch, not sh

welcome to the game then, SJ. There are very informative help options available: the help button on the top right, and Angelsong's Help Page (link at bottom under Friends of Babble).
This puzzle isn't considered easy, so don't worry if you don't find many words at first. Play for fun and you will get better soon (at Babble at least).

11:52 am

11:52 am

damn typos
11:53 am
NonnieLight

Ours was a small attempt $1.13 twice and then the large $622.44. Our Visa was "protected" so they reversed the charges and investigating...
11:54 am
caitlyn

There is so much fraud going on its worrying
11:54 am
Uneaixoise

hmmm, happened to me twice but Visa called me to verfiy that I was actually purchasing sporting equipment which of course I was NOT -- so it was denied and I got a new card
11:54 am
NonnieLight

Mine was my bank card which could have really caused some damage if we hadn't noticed it right away. Thank goodness the bank refunded the one overdraft charge associated with the mess.
11:54 am
hurshy

i can't believe people are so willing to just mess up other people's lives.
11:55 am
Uneaixoise

apparently a red flag goes up if it's a purchase totally out of your normal type
11:55 am
hurshy

yes - well, and when you usually buy businessy stuff, gamestop is a red flag...
11:55 am
Sally-catlover

Mine was an iTunes purchase, but via the American iTunes and not the British one, which was a dead give-away apparently.
11:56 am
crosshair

yup,my brother says that they used a protable card scanner,and it was able to scan the info off of the rfid chip while it was still in his wallet!!
11:56 am
Uneaixoise

e.g., when I ordered something online from England, they called to verify before they let the charges go through
11:56 am
NonnieLight

The charge on mine was to verizon wireless...I think they must have purchased the latest and greatest in phones!
11:56 am
Uneaixoise

still in his wallet?! wow!

12:01 pm

it is so much worse here in the US than in europe, though. at least in restaurants they swipe your card at the table with a portable reader instead of taking it away from you to do who knows what

Paint your left knee green
Then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet

Climb inside a dog
And behead an eskimo
Eat a Renault Four with salami in your ears
Casserole your gran
Disembowel yourself with spears

dan2bit

yes - we bought our "baby car" on 12/31, and ordered nursery furniture
6:34 pm
jmcnrick

hmm
6:34 pm
dan2bit

because apparently nursery furniture can only be hand crafted by special left-handed elves who only work every other full moon
6:36 pm
dcseain

long time to delivery of furniture, dan?
6:36 pm
jillibus

dc, that equine is eluding me
6:36 pm

6:37 pm
dcseain

mr ed, jilli
6:37 pm
dan2bit

apparently 14 weeks or so. But we should be in plenty of time. Nice jmc! We just bought a low dresser that will temporarily be a changing table, then later get a mirror or hutch

lawdy, just what i need ... i'm hooked on that game, seain!
7:08 pm
jacq

me too and it's great, but i can't get the same one the others are playing lol
7:08 pm
dcseain

i wonder if that because you're not in North America, jacq
7:09 pm
jacq

possibly the link opens but the minimap is a complete square instead of grids so maybe it's a different size or something maybe need to look at the coding
7:10 pm
dcseain

which browser are you using, jacq?
7:10 pm
welki

mine is square too, jac .. once you open up each quadrant, you'll get four itty bitty maps you can click on
7:11 pm
jacq

right now i'm playing the farm quadrant, and that's fine but if i use the link seain posted i get a blank square in the middle and the minimap has no quadrants
7:12 pm
JBV

holy mackerel, I did not realize I was only solving 1/4 of the puzzle! now I see the other webs!
7:12 pm
dcseain

ah, you're on teh original game then, jacq
7:12 pm
welki

what's the farm quadrant? i have colors in mine ... ut oh, maybe i have a different puzzle!
7:13 pm
jacq

yes i found the link for it and it opens fine but it has a similar addy to the link you posted and strangely enough pig leads to a religions quadrant
7:13 pm
JBV

i think it's very interesting because it uses different word skills compared with Babble - you have to focus on meanings, which of course, is absolutely of no worth here :)
7:14 pm
Scrabbler

Is that (Word Link) a game that changes dialy?
7:14 pm
