Yes, I've once again resorted to entering anything that somehow vaguely sounds English :)

And at 125 words/4.64/1351 I can't find anything else, even though there's at leas one 7 letter words still in there somewhere... bummer!

11:35 am

mvuijlst

found a (the?) third 7 letter word!

11:46 am

mvuijlst

Booo!! TERZO, according to OED: The third, as in opera terza, the third work; violino terzo, third violin. b. n. A third; also in terza, in three parts; terzo = trio.

babble is taking too long to load today. every time i put in a word i've got to wait for what feels like a year before the page reloads... hopefully i'll come back later and be able to go a little faster than about a word a minute... otherwise i'll be here all day...

12:09 pm

Dr_God

donkeyjacket45-

It might be the new ad thing i added to the right column.

Is anyone else having delay problems?

12:11 pm

tvoltagg

Definitely slower, but not THAT slow.

but definitely slower.

12:11 pm

discodave

Yeah, a little. I find myself trying to enter the second half of words only, as it hasn't updated the page as quickly as usual.

12:19 pm

Kaetchen

Yep, a bit.

12:20 pm

pmar

much slower 2 hrs ago... hey no warf

12:27 pm

holmes

wharf Worf

12:59 pm

elphaba

So...slow...the page reload was inherently a little frustrating, but this is driving me batty.

1:04 pm

holmes

the frustrating thing about Babble [besides people telling you that there are 8 or 9 or 10 letter words that are impossible to find]
is that there are so many ALMOST words; tertiary, oratory, atrophy, trophy, oration, cognization

1:10 pm

tvoltagg

to be fair, cognization isn't even close to almost being on this board.

but i hear ya.

1:14 pm

elphaba

No kidding, Holmes...I never find the words over seven letters. Maybe once or twice, and usually with help from someone who looks over my shoulder and goes, "What about that one?" Grr.

1:18 pm

Treeshar

And the fact that I can't spell and get all excited about things like rentor.

1:47 pm

Kaetchen

Ack, keep seeing words that aren't there. Anyone else tried to make 'lozenge' twelve times over?

1:53 pm

athena

hello, kaetchen! has anyone used the z at all?

1:53 pm

DTOX

My "damnit, it's so almost there" word is parfait.

1:55 pm

Kaetchen

Hey athena! Nice to know you're here! I'm slacking on work...you? No 'z' love at all this way.

1:58 pm

athena

shhh... ME! NO! I'M VERY BUSY RIGHT NOW. DON'T BOTHER ME. yeah!

2:03 pm

Kaetchen

heh. Off to lunch. Back later!

2:18 pm

Big Daddy

I wanted so bad to get to 1000, but there's NO WAY. 70/955

3:26 pm

faunafrailty

I can "fart" but not be "farty"? What's up with that?

3:27 pm

Kaetchen

Ah yes, but we can be as 'warty' as we like.

3:56 pm

B.B.

Mine is running noticeably slower.

4:09 pm

mister

I was hoping "wartorn" was a word. it is not.

4:11 pm

mister

yay! 8 letters. I thought I'd never find it. Is there more than one?

4:48 pm

mel

First 8 letter word!

5:04 pm

samhain11520

is anyone else having trouble with torent?

5:32 pm

bacchae

Want to stay and play, but far too tired..I'll just have to do with what I've got. Good luck for the last 6 hours folks...

Dr. God, when I type in a word it takes quite a long time for it to come onto the board.

6:44 pm

atlatl51

I also can't make any words and my score sticks. Can you help Dr. God?

6:45 pm

atlatl51

oops...sucks

6:57 pm

LPF

Hola my people this puzzel is tough. Hey jbullock

7:10 pm

LPF

Is any one out there who could possibly help me? I'm kinda new.

7:17 pm

Doats

The game is definitely taking longer to load with the ads. Much more noticeable on this kind of site since this page requires that you reload the page constantly.

7:22 pm

LPF

I agree

8:09 pm

lil

torent has 2 r's

8:13 pm

KJ

Too bad no "wartrot"

8:35 pm

jbullock

hi do i know you

9:23 pm

LPF

Yep you do

10:26 pm

Alti

well my score isn't as high as I'd like it and I don't have as many words, but if I keep going I'm gonna start going "ba ba ba ba" a la Goldie Hawn in Overboard. Might catch a few more later... after a break... might not too LOL
