12:31 am

Suzanah

Okay, I think I've exhausted the roll I'm on. Calling it a night at 39/4.72/608. Hopefully I'll be able to find more words tomorrow. It's not looking too likely right now. :(

79/4.57/1040

2:14 am

elphaba

75 / 1000 seems like a good place to stop, though of course the fact that I feel good about this number means that it'll be less than half the possible words. Ah well. G'night!

2:29 am

Up to 76/4.58/1049 now

sapphie

Just got the sixth 6, looking for the second 7!!!

7:43 am

Suzanah

I'm back. :) Just got the sixth 6 - had the two 7s last night. I'm assuming there's more out there.

7:47 am

sapphie

My 7 is worth 48. But there must be loads more points out there 102/4.47/1187

WOW, this one is hard, I can't find any 7's yet - are they obvious and I'm missing them, any clues...?

8:22 am

shortseer

If the goddess tries harder, she might get 100
;)

8:25 am

discodave

There's one worth 48. Shame that's the only one I have so far.

8:27 am

discodave

Damn - remind me to scroll down more often...sorry

8:30 am

lawyer-1

The 48 point seven's are easier....more common...than the 40 pointers.

8:48 am

4t8

8 6's and 1 7. 97 1314. can see there's a long way to go...

8:55 am

setting_sun

Just found a 6 worth 45 points. Anyone else found it?

8:56 am

setting_sun

Make that 2 6's worth 45!

8:56 am

8:57 am

Chani

Although I like Gangrel most, Ventrue should be some kind of word... People just don't play enough Vampire...

9:40 am

Atalante

Any clues on the 40pt 7s??

10:27 am

runningforhome

Wow, a 48-point word!

Hmm, I really should read the comments before I post.
58/4.55/775

11:22 am

elphaba

Cheers for the clue on one of those 7s...knowing they're out there somehow makes them a little easier to see. Now if I could just get to a hundred words!

11:22 am

markro

2 7s worth 48 each

11:39 am

FitzyFitz

96/4.69/1429
Just found 2 of the 40-point sevens (already have the two 48-pointers), they're not the easiest...

11:53 am

FitzyFitz

Well, it appears that 103/4.66/1500 is where my attempt ENDS (free word for you all!)

11:55 am

Suzanah

May I request a different free word? I already have ENDS. :p

11:58 am

FitzyFitz

Sure, try henry (believe it or not, this is actually ok)

11:59 am

runningforhome

Heh, yeah, I try names all the time - every once in awhile they work!

12:00 pm

Suzanah

Thanks!! I guess what they say is true - it never hurts to ask. :)

12:08 pm

Atalante

oh dear .... I think I'll give up hope now then!

12:08 pm

runningforhome

90/4.58/1220.
I have 8 sixes and the two 48-point sevens.

12:57 pm

markro

That's it for me 93/4.61/1280 (Not bad for a first go?)

1:27 pm

M&O

62 4.55 841

1:41 pm

M&O

I wanted to to TRYE DENTRY, but I got an oops. WTF? DENTRY is a word, and that's the TRITH.

1:42 pm

M&O

Perhaps I don't have enough VERTUE for the game to accept my words.

1:53 pm

majenwen

found a 6 for 45, only one 7 so far

2:00 pm

M&O

I have 73 words, and there just aren't any more. Anyone who says that they have more is just trying to discourage me. That must be it.

2:04 pm

seaotter

Found 2 7's @ 48 a piece.

2:05 pm

sapphie

Just got one of the 40 point 7's...pleased cos it wasn't a guess!!! LOL. 2 more to go.

2:13 pm

M&O

I have 48-pt 7's, but that's it

2:14 pm

Atalante

A little clue to the 40pt 7? Purlease???????

2:19 pm

sapphie

My other half has given this clue 'equatorial swirl' might be abit obscure...

2:21 pm

M&O

Just a bit.

2:24 pm

sapphie

it goes down differently either side of the equator....that's better I think, my mum's clue!!

2:24 pm

M&O

Got it. Thanks. Too bad I can't stick a "Y" on the end.

2:30 pm

Atalante

oh gosh, I'm being really stupid today I think! I know exactly what you mean .... I just can't think of the right word for it! I *will* find it! If I takes me all night lol!

3:29 pm

Vict

Well, the right word for it is "Coriolis", and that ain't in the Babble. Grrr...

3:33 pm

Atalante

I know I know LOL I've even studied this in huge detail during my degree. But my brain is utterly blank!

3:40 pm

johnny2times

By the way, the Coriolis effect doesn't actually change the way toilets flush. It's an urban legend.

3:54 pm

Atalante

the Coriolis force doesn't even exist ....

3:56 pm

BonnyDawn

Bacchae? still around?

4:03 pm

setting_sun

97/4.60/1334 so far but I'm determined to get 100 before I go to bed.

4:56 pm

runningforhome

Agh! I'm two words away from 100 and totally maxed out.

5:07 pm

sapphie

LOL...course it is....got my definitions mixed up. LOL. Sorry no help from me ;)

8:27 pm

Youloud

8:28 pm

Youloud

Final : 87 words 4.55 1121

8:58 pm

runningforhome

I wasn't teasing, that was a clue... but hopefully you understand it now, since you've found it. Unless you found the OTHER 48-point seven.

9:33 pm

4t8

thanks for the hint. :)

9:39 pm

The Goddess

Goodness, just came back and I'm 4 away from 100 with only 1 x 7 - still can't see the others....thought a good sleep would help ;o(

9:50 pm

Maelle

Helen... don't complain I've only got 42 words... only one seven

9:51 pm

4t8

can't see anything...1 word in 20 minutes. adventure keeps mocking me! think am done at 100.

10:00 pm

The Goddess

;o) Maelle, only got to 98 with all the 4's and 5's...LOL you can make lots of words out of the same word too!

10:03 pm

Maelle

Helen the last few words I've found I don't even know their meanings... I didn't know they were words, I just tried them cos I thought they looked good... If I wasn't so lazy I'd look them up in a dictionary ;-)

10:20 pm

johnny2times

The second 40 point 7 letter word (the non-"equatorial flush" one): is there any chance of me ever having heard this word before?

10:29 pm

4t8

all i can think of is the itcz (intertropical convergence zone), which is wrong, but nothing else equatorial comes to mind. :(

11:04 pm

The Goddess

Got my 100 thanks to swapping 2 words with another learned friend! ;o) I'm leaving it there unless something jumps at me as I pass by...LOL

11:07 pm

The Goddess

Curious to know if anyone used the "J"

11:24 pm

SeattleSky

I'm not sure, but is it possible that the 40 pt 7 that people are giving geological clues to is the one that I have that is actually biological? My geological 7 is worth 48, and the equator has no bearing on it.....
