1:16 am

Essentia

are ya seriously saying that this puzzle has 7s and 8s? I can find only 4s.. Maybe its 'cause english is not my native language..

1:21 am

Mara232

I am stuck at 50

1:21 am

squidlettesmama

Nutkin's clue helped. You can also change the ending of that to describe one who does that.

the other: it's why you use lysol

1:22 am

squidlettesmama

butterfliesmama... begins with t

1:22 am

Mara232

Okay 50

whoo hoo...hooray for me...now I can go to bed.

1:25 am

bazo0ka

hmm. there is an 8 letter with teh clue..
why you use lysol? <i am going to be stuck on taht one forever lol>

1:25 am

genny

why you use lysol...hmm...

1:26 am

Jemper

*scratching my head, too*

1:28 am

genny

got it! that's a word? lol

1:29 am

squidlettesmama

what does lysol kill, perhaps that would be a better clue ;-)

1:29 am

genny

i now have the 3 8's...but only 1 7

1:29 am

nutkin

woohoo i got the lysol one

1:29 am

bazo0ka

klol i got it

1:29 am

ButterfliesMamma

okay, you guys have lost me....lysol??? I see a 4 letter word that might have to do wtih lysol...is it somethign with that? LOL

1:30 am

bazo0ka

when you get it you're going to wonder why you didnt see it at first, its so simple and easy lol

1:30 am

SweetPickle

how weird...I got 8s right off but can't find 7s at all.

1:31 am

genny

butterfliesmama--yup. ;)

1:31 am

nutkin

i'm missing the third 8

1:31 am

majenwen

Got the 3rd 8 :)

1:32 am

bazo0ka

i have 95.. i just want 5 more then im off to bed ;)

1:33 am

sleeky

Is the lysol 8 a compound word?

1:34 am

nutkin

i feel dumb i just got the 3rd 8

1:35 am

ButterfliesMamma

the compound word clue gave it to me...I didn't think those were allowed

1:35 am

sleeky

never midn, I got it. :-)

1:35 am

bazo0ka

lol i told you.. it seems so easy and simple once you have it ;)

1:36 am

majenwen

yup

1:36 am

Jemper

ARGH! It may be easy once you find it, but boy is it frustrating when you're searching for it!

1:37 am

majenwen

I'm pretty stuck @ 85 words

1:37 am

SweetPickle

I know i'm going to kick myself but I do not see it. /:

1:37 am

genny

i am stuck on 77! where are these other 23 or so words that are eluding me..? :(

1:37 am

sleeky

I got the 7s and 8s but still only have 684!

1:37 am

bazo0ka

look harder ;) its worth 70 points

1:38 am

Jemper

OK, I don't think that lysol one should count. It's really two words, for those of you still hunting. >:o|

1:39 am

bazo0ka

yeah its a compound word

1:41 am

Jemper

It may technically be one word, but I don't think I've ever seen it that way.

1:42 am

Jemper

Ah, well! So, there's a third 8 out there? Off I go ahuntin'...

1:42 am

nutkin

i think it is hyphenated

1:43 am

sleeky

so are these puzzles completely random?

1:43 am

f0rbidDeN

it can be written as one word

1:44 am

Q

my dictionary has it, non-hyphenated

1:44 am

genny

ok how many words do you have? how far am i from catching up? :)

1:45 am

jayferg

MUST go to bed

1:50 am

SweetPickle

I am so not seeing the lysol one. Have a feeling I'm on the wrong track.

1:50 am

bazo0ka

what are you trying to eliminate with lysol?

1:50 am

bazo0ka

starts with a "g" and is a compound word

1:51 am

SweetPickle

well then I'm on the right track but am just stupid! d:

1:53 am

sleeky

I just tried out the weirdest word - and it turned out to be a word! Guess it never hurts to try. :-)

1:53 am

Bella

aww man I got it....that shouldn't count...that's seriously two words

1:54 am

SweetPickle

oh man I just got it...tried every other stupid combo. doh!!

1:54 am

Atalante

Pity this poor English person - what the heck is Lysol?

1:54 am

Jemima

Sleeky, are you the sleeky that I know and love from RMC?

1:54 am

bazo0ka

lysol is a disinfectant spray/cleaner
comes in all forms now ;)

1:55 am

sleeky

1:56 am

f0rbidDeN

I Rock tonight.

3:06 am

bulldog

And no cheating except a dictionary. took me three hours.

3:12 am

Atalante

Is this considered too much like cheating - but whats the first letter of the second word? This lysol thing is driving me up the wall!

3:17 am

Atalante

oh gosh, I'm being *really* stupid - why on earth was I looking for a 6 letter word as the second word ... its obviously tooo early. Got it now as soon as I started looking for a 4 letter word instead!

4:09 am

2frogs

Got the Lysol thing with the help of bazo0ka's "g"... ;o))

5:14 am

COMFERT

good morning all.

5:19 am

COMFERT

keep seeing greek. i need a holiday.

5:32 am

Dragoncarer

mnughhhh quite frankly! meanwhile...YSEGRIM, i do like the targets...gives you something to concentrate on (a target) when you can't blindly spot words! prolongs the game IMHO, so thanks very much!

5:35 am

Dragoncarer

cant. find. second. 'o'. word. for. the. o. in. the. last. column. any clues, help anyone? meanwhile, anyone else find the vaguely arabian gentleman? quite proud of myself with that one actually...ta!

5:44 am

Jemper

Ysegrim ~ Absolutely LOVE the numbers, gives me a target like Dragoncarer said. Quick question - do the totals include duplicate words?

6:37 am

ButterfliesMamma

I've got all three "O" words...which on you need a clue for? Did you get the animal?

6:44 am

Jemper

OK, that's funny. Guess what letter I'm working on? I got the animal. Need 1 more O word.

9:17 am

Krista

Morning Jemper...I think we hang out here too much these days. :)

9:19 am

Jemper

Yes, I'm spending WAY too much time on this website. :oP

9:20 am

Mal

Christine where are you its 3.30pm here.

9:25 am

Krista

Hmmm.. strange...I just got a word that babble accepted, but I can't find it in any dictionary.

9:29 am

Jemper

Did you click on the "?" to the left of the word on your list? That pulls up the definition for you.

9:30 am

Krista

Yep, and it doesn't have one. I'll email you the word if you don't mind. This is going to bug me!

9:31 am

Jemper

Go right ahead, you've got me curious now.

9:33 am

Jemper

Weird. Not on www.webster.com or in my paper dictionary either. What's funny is I have it on my list, too.

9:34 am

Mal

Jemper. Print off the grid then you do not have to sit at the computer just write down the words as you see them then later put them on the game.

9:35 am

Jemper

Thanks for the suggestion, Mal. My kids will probably enjoy seeing more of me outside of the office where the PC is. :o)

9:36 am

Krista

I just followed a hunch that it's a French word...it is..still working on a definition...but still don't understand why they accept it.

9:37 am

Krista

Excellent suggestion, thanks! I can do it while I drive around today running errands!! (just kidding)

9:39 am

Krista

I emailed you the definition. It still makes no sense that they accept it.

9:41 am

Jemper

62/4.56/779, my best showing yet. Time for me to turn in, it's nearly Midnight here. G'nite all!

9:43 am

squidlettesmama

jemper... it doesn't involved alcohol. But how would you tie one on, not involving alcohol.

9:44 am

2frogs

Now I'm wondering what "French" word you girls are talking about...

9:46 am

Krista

Hmmm...how can I tell you...may I give a hint, then I won't have to come out and give the word?

9:47 am

2frogs

Go ahead... ;o))

9:50 am

Krista

This is not the definition, but will tell you what the "word" is...if you met someone, then did it again, you _ _ _ _ _ them.

9:53 am

2frogs

Thanks, that made it really easy... ;o))

9:54 am

Mal

Krists thanks got that one now.

9:55 am

Mal

Sorry mispelt the name I mean't Krista.

9:55 am

Krista

You're both welcome. Mal, are u in Europe?

9:57 am

Mal

Hi Krista, I live in London

9:58 am

Krista

My husband is from London (I'm in Maryland, USA). He lived in Muswell Hill before he moved here.

9:58 am

x marks the spot

thanks

10:01 am

Mal

Krista that is North London your talking to an East Egd girl here.My sister is in Los Angeles.

10:05 am

Krista

His dad is an East Ender - Poplar. I'd love to visit someday - still haven't been there!

10:10 am

Mal

Tell your husband I actually live near the Hackney Marshes. Which is nice.

10:15 am

Christine

Wow -- lots of chat, today.
Marianne, did you get the 'biggie' I emailed it to you...
Two 7s and 2 8s... I think it's time for a cuppa.

10:15 am

Krista

He Knows that area. He said he used to work near Canary Wharf. "Small world." :) I have to sign off now...do u play often?

10:16 am

Mal

Hi Big Sister looking now.M

10:20 am

Mal

Krista my daughter works inthe main toere on Canary Wharf she is the administrator of the buildings. As you say small world I do try to play each day but I am very "Small fry"

10:21 am

Mal

Sorry my typing is getting worse should have said main tower on the Wharf.

10:22 am

Mal

Christine you have EMail.

10:23 am

Krista

I just printed off the puzzle to take with me. This is sad. :) Catch you all later, Bye Mal!

10:24 am

ewenme

The French word is used in a poplular children's song...ding dong ding... it means brother in French

10:26 am

Krista

Not the same word...this one starts ith "r" not "f" if it's the one I think you mean.

10:27 am

Krista

But thanks for another word...I'll have to start trying more foreign words.

10:27 am

Mal

Ewenme Thanks got that now.

10:29 am

2frogs

How come I didn't think of the French word... ;o(

10:32 am

Krista

It's really inconsistent with what words it will accept. It will accept the brother word, but 'terre' which is also French. Oh well.

10:32 am

Mal

2frogs, are you French? If yes then maybe if not well!

10:32 am

Krista

I meant "won't" accept terre

10:33 am

Krista

I wondered that, too, with the username involving frogs. ;)

10:33 am

Mal

Krista I thought you were leaving, this game is addictive!

10:34 am

Krista

Oh, you noticed that, did you? ;) OK, I really am going now.

10:35 am

2frogs

The frogs have another meaning, but I do live in France...

10:36 am

2frogs

BTW I'm not French, I'm Dutch... I live in Paris... ;o))

10:37 am

Mal

I think I need a rest for a bit and coffee catch you later.

10:38 am

Mal

I hope I didn't offend you when I asked were you French. I was not being rude.

10:39 am

2frogs

No, you didn't offend me... My husband is French... I just said that I'm Dutch to explain that French isn't my first language... ;o))

10:42 am

Mal

When I see some of the words that people put into the grid and Know. I sometimes find it hard to realise that English is my native tongue. They are soo clever.

10:48 am

LouCee

2frogs - I wish I knew French. :)

10:55 am

2frogs

Today I wish I'd knew more English words... I'm stuck...

10:56 am

parker313

I've gotten it to accept some Spanish words in past puzzles too.

10:57 am

eyezzz

LouCee ~ I wish I knew English ;)

10:58 am

2frogs

LOL Lou... You had way more points than me yesterday... And I'm sure today will be the same... ;o))

10:58 am

2frogs

Shoot, that message should have gone to my friend R. ;o))

10:59 am

2frogs

Ok, girls stop messing with my head... LOL

Lou had more points, that makes she knows English...

11:00 am

eyezzz

And 2frogs, you had way more than me yesterday .... my problem is I don't have a language anymore. I keep trying Hebrew words and it won't take them LOL!!

11:01 am

eyezzz

Back to work for me ....

11:02 am

LouCee

Today I only know enough English for 4-letter words. LOL

11:03 am

2frogs

See, my work doesn't get in the way with my playing... Nor does my husband... LOL

11:04 am

LouCee

Kristin - good point - maybe I know enough Spanish for a word or two. ;)

eyezzz - sounds like you know English to me. :)

11:06 am

2frogs

Lou I made it to one 8 letter word... The very first, but only because of hints that were given... ;o)

11:17 am

JustReg2

morning !!

11:18 am

LouCee

I only got it after the hints too. Not much puzzle time for me today so I totally expect you to kick my butt today. ;)

11:19 am

2frogs

I'm going to quite soon... Have to prepare for tomorrow... And M. is taking me out for dinner... ;o))

11:56 am

parker313

Mornin' Reg!

My work doesn't get in the way of my playing, but when my husband gets home next week, I have a feeling I won't get nearly as much time to play since I get most of my playing time in the evenings.

11:57 am

JustReg2

Kathy

12:11 pm

Hood86

Can't find the 8's, but have 55 for 673 so far. Am liking this puzzle better than others, but have only been playing 3x's so far. Got lucky with a bunch of 6's, but those longer words are eluding me. :P

12:19 pm

majenwen

ANyone find all 4 7's?

12:22 pm

2frogs

Hi Frodo... (Wondering who's hiding behind this name... ;o))

12:23 pm

2frogs

I'm not doing good... I have one 8 and one 7... And only half an hour of playtime left... Hope to make it to 1000 pts... ;op

12:32 pm

12:58 pm

majenwen

Don't know if you consider this cheating, but someone had posted this dictionary a while back. It sometimes helps me find a couple of words...At the very least, it reassures me I found all possible words from that combo...

Hi all, I am getting a late start since I spent most of the day at the beach. The lysol clue really hellped. I never would have put the two words together. Remember to count them each separately too.

Ugh, I'm three points away from 1300 and I can't find a single word.

6:30 pm

Boo

Like a hint or SOMETHING?????

6:34 pm

Boo

A little hint is type in a bunch of random letters that could maybe work but don't seem like it. If you see a word you know that's not spelled how you want it, just try it.

6:35 pm

6:53 pm

Riff

6:55 pm

Krista

Well, it isn't Fred. :)

6:56 pm

periwinkle

It starts with "O"

6:57 pm

Riff

I meant the 8 worth 70

Q

The male name doesn't not have many letters.
Round on the ends and high in the middle!

9:14 pm

9:15 pm

runningforhome

Sorry, bazo0ka, I've only got three of them...

9:16 pm

SweetPickle

There are 3 eights, 2 are similar. Think unstable, shaky.

9:16 pm

10:10 pm

Christine

Oh, Lord .... I just signed on again, and the bloody messages are strung out, across the screen. My cute little browser doesn't know how to do anything but email and intenet-ish things... so I guess I'll leave it for today. I'm going crosseyed, scrolling across the screen...

10:10 pm

jayferg

I am a lame ass. I have two7'sand didn't see them. Been at it too much today. Have the k's but not the others.

10:12 pm

runningforhome

The fourth seven starts with R, for those interested. Rather obscure; has to do with music and Italy.

10:14 pm

Mara232

Any hints on the 7 letter starts with w? :)

10:15 pm

hourfollowshour

Well, the "w" 7 isn't listed in either of the online dictionaries I checked.

10:19 pm

f0rbidDeN

is this italian music or music in general?

10:19 pm

Mara232

thanks on the r!

10:20 pm

runningforhome

There were two definitions, one was related to music in general, the other specifically to Italian music.

...and I'm calling it a night. I got the 8s, but never did get that musical 7. Today's puzzle wasn't so good to me.

10:32 pm

Mara232

How much time before the puzzle is done?

10:36 pm

10:52 pm

frodo

76 words, 4.70, 1082 pts.
I am cross-eyed at this point and 6 Feet Under is coming on so I guess I am done.

10:55 pm

frodo

Oh Hint:
the w/7 word.......think spouse

10:59 pm

bazo0ka

anyone willing to say which "r" the 7 letter stems from?

11:00 pm

Mara232

top right hand corner

11:04 pm

Mara232

even with the hints I am stuck on the w-7..I can imagine which three letters - but it must be such an obscure word

11:06 pm

sleeky

I looked at the top list from yesterdays puzzle and there were so many I would never have known were real words.

11:07 pm

bazo0ka

i really cant find this music one lol

11:09 pm

hourfollowshour

The w-7 really isn't that obscure.

11:17 pm

f0rbidDeN

yeah, i can't find the music one either

11:17 pm

Mara232

I guess I am just not seeing it

11:18 pm

Mara232

88 words 4.66 1160

11:26 pm

its hopeless :) im not getting the 7 letter r word lol

11:28 pm

jayferg

11:29 pm

bazo0ka

<glare>

11:32 pm

tngrl

The 7 ltr R word is NOT a common word. It sounds like an Italian food sort of. LOL

11:33 pm

tngrl

Ugh I'm stuck at 112. I swear I've combined letters every which way and can't find anymore. I'm so close to having them all.....it's just annoying.

11:34 pm

fixitfmly

so frustrated!
have only used K 2x and both are only 4s.
It's not cooperating with me tonight! ;-)
becoming cross-eyed at 64/885, much worse than yesterday

11:34 pm

SweetPickle

here's a clue for the 7-letter italian one: take a man's name and add 3 letters to the beginning.

11:34 pm

hourfollowshour

tngrl is right! The r-7 is only one letter off a type of italian food.

11:37 pm

Mara232

I'm not ging to get the 8 letter w word

11:37 pm

Mara232

i mean 7 letter

11:38 pm

jayferg

zigzag down the right

11:41 pm

tngrl

I give up at 112.....1544. Those other 11 words just are not there for me. My eyes hurt and I have things to get done before I can get to bed. Night all.

11:43 pm

bazo0ka

mans name? :) im so not going to get this one lol
all i can think of for mans name is fred and i've tried everything to make it fred ;)

11:43 pm

jayferg

I give up at 96/1412. I need to do something else besides babble.

11:44 pm

jayferg

the mans name is part of an animals name(first 3 letters)

11:51 pm

Mara232

I don't get the animal one either?

11:52 pm

Christine

bazoOka... another clue,,, it'a a palindrome.

11:53 pm

fixitfmly

the K hates me tonight >:-P

11:53 pm

jayferg

I kinda of messed up the clue.

It has to do with the 2 double letters down in the right corner.

think sea animal

11:56 pm

Mara232

This sucks..

Jay - you had me boggling FRE for 10 minutes LOL

11:59 pm

jayferg

the music word starts with R

the end of that word starts the sea animal( letter O)

12:00 am
