5:45 am

beluga

5:51 am

KissTheFool

5:56 am

'rowe' is so a word. it's a fishbait.

7:37 am

M&O

"Since when is "dane" not a valid word?"
Since you started playing Babble. I've not been able to use it.

8:03 am

cbullock

'dane' is a proper noun

... but any good programmer will agree that 'arity' ought to be accepted :(

9:43 am

fundercat

No towne?! Come one...Ye Olde Towne Shoppe! Throw me a bone, babble!

9:56 am

runningforhome

I really wish that 'E' was beside the 'L'...

10:25 am

ciel

Cool. There's a monster in the puzzle.

10:47 am

beluga

nice clue! still scratching the surface with 101/4.77/1241.

11:10 am

Mal

Hi Christine
Just saw your message. Love

11:12 am

Mand0

i can't believe "dang" is a word!

11:30 am

itzie

For those of you interested in the word "dane", I *highly* recommend that you pull out a dictionary and look it up. (this is a hint and not a snide comment)

12:30 pm

SooGuy

I can't beleive I broke 500!

12:30 pm

hourfollowshour

141 words. I'd like to break 2000 points today!

12:32 pm

hourfollowshour

"Since you started playing Babble. I've not been able to use it."

haha. That's not nice.

12:39 pm

biped

but so *true*. I need dane, I'm stuck on 74 with only one 7

12:42 pm

discodave

I'm disappointed trannie isn't there - either as slang for a transvestite or a radio.

12:43 pm

hourfollowshour

There's been a hint about "dane". I found it to be quite helpful!

12:45 pm

runningforhome

Damn, I have to leave for a flight now and my score is only 506. That's going to bring down my ranking...

12:53 pm

biped

you did? I usually get more confused about the hints then about the puzzle. Of course they'll all be crystal clear once I check the results tomorrow

1:03 pm

biped

Hah! I found the word, but it's not in my dictionary...guess i need a new one. A better one.

1:06 pm

hourfollowshour

It bothers me that the J is useless.

1:11 pm

biped

non-existing j's:
jetor - jargon for jet pilot

2:16 pm

liz

CHRISTINE, WE ARE NOW PLAYING IN HACKNEY TOO!

2:17 pm

liz

MAL, STILL ASKING YOUR SON FOR HELP!

2:31 pm

Christine

Liz... at least we're getting some words, today.... yesterday was a b----r.

2:34 pm

liz

CHRISTINE, YOUR NEPHEW TOM SAY'S HI!

2:36 pm

Christine

Keep Mal busy, so I can beat her score..

2:49 pm

beluga

thought yanni would be a word by now

3:09 pm

cunninghampa

Does everyone use a dictionary? I'm too lazy.

3:54 pm

Mal

Tell Tom I can beat him hands down.
I have an 8 letter word.

3:55 pm

Mal

Christine I have just come back on and notice my Daughter in Law has been in touch with you.

4:51 pm

4t8

it allows yang but not ying, how odd!

4:57 pm

hourfollowshour

4t8 - I thought so, too.

4:59 pm

cbullock

leaving it 19 words shy today

5:03 pm

beluga

it's not odd, actually; yin is the counterpart of yang.

5:10 pm

hourfollowshour

Schooled.

5:25 pm

allstar

E GADS!

5:42 pm

Christine

Has anyone used the J??

I thought a JETOR was the disc used in public 'phones in France???

6:17 pm

itzie

I haven't been able to find a use for the J either. I think I'm babbled out for a few days. I am so addicted.

7:45 pm

Christine

I copy the grid, (use the paper as a bookmark through the day), then enter the words at the end of the day.... if I get there in time. I try to restrict to no more than 30minutes each day. Last few days have been nasty... except for 5/30... and today is a goodie.

7:47 pm

petestein1

So how's today's puzzle for everyone? # of words? Score?
