12:18 am

boatierra

12:31 am

Tolinya

70/4.69/798

12:32 am

Suzanah

mulhermujer - Very good guess. It's supposed to be a nickname for another name, but in my case it's actually my "real" name. Most Portuguese people assume it's a nickname. Oh, and don't ask me to write Portuguese. I can read it and understand it, but can't write it.

Saozinha, cool name. I can read and write some, but I cannot understand the spoken word. Too fast, just like espanol. My real name is shellei (pronounced just like shelley).

12:35 am

Kat

12:38 am

Suzanah

Nice to "meet" you, Shellei. :)

Kukana

Well I finally got 200 words for the first time! That's quite enough for me for today. (200, 5.06, 3046). That includes two 9s and eight 8s.

6:46 am

BIA

I found the adhesive-related 9. Any clues on the other(s)?

7:27 am

Kukana

I got the other 9 due to a clue that may have been accidental a few hours ago in the log, when someone else was saying that there were two words it wouldn't take. The other 9 and a connected 8 rhyme with the words that were refused.

7:51 am

Atalante

oh thanks Kukuna! I've just figured them out now! LOL

8:13 am

Now_a_Pumpkin

Hi Jemper :)

parker313

I've got 2 that start with Q and one with a q in the word itself...

9:34 am

Jemper

I meant words that start with Q...though I don't think I have the one with Q in it. :oP

9:37 am

parker313

Got that 3rd Q - should have gotten it sooner! :-P

9:50 am

10:30 am

Christine

BIA have you found the other nine? If not, look at the early posts - there are two words mentioned... substitute a starting letter..
Now, I need to find the third Q word.

10:36 am

Atalante

11:03 am

genny

whew! got the Q's and both 9's...now I just need to find more words! :p spend all your time looking for 9's and you only end up with 108 words

11:03 am

periwinkle

Atalante, I believe I have the three Q words you are "talking" about. but I can't find any of the others.

11:08 am

Atalante

ick are there more *sigh* I'm more than half asleep at the moment sorry ..!

11:11 am

nutkin

i dreamed about this puzzle last night. how sad is that?

11:14 am

periwinkle

Try adding ed and s to words you already have. This is for the newbies. I know the oldtimers know this. I have over a 1000 points and been playing for 45 minutes. I like this puzzle.

11:19 am

Christine

There's a four letter Q that's a bird, but it won't take it.... still, I realized I do have the three Qs and a word with a Q contained in it, so I think I'm going back to my mystery novel..

11:28 am

periwinkle

100 words, 4.93, 1386. My BEST score so far. Need to take a break. Will be back later.

11:47 am

parker313

Why won't it accept arial? As in an "arial photograph"?

11:48 am

parker313

Never mind. I'm a moron that can't spell.

lawyer-1

Shutterbug,

12:41 pm

shutterbug

12:42 pm

lawyer-1

Didn't you notice that Bulldog has more words than I do?

12:44 pm

Tolinya

Why won't it take perp???

12:45 pm

Jhaiisiin

Cause it's short for perpetrator (if I'm even spelling that right). One of the many shortened words it doesn't accept.

12:47 pm

Tolinya

argh and wallpaper for a clue????

12:51 pm

Tolinya

Gonna go play EQ be back later have 2 pool parties hope we dont get fried

1:10 pm

Jhaiisiin

One addiction for another, huh Tol? (I'm not one to talk, I play too)

1:17 pm

WOW I just got a 9 letter word for 84 points. My best ever.

1:41 pm

periwinkle

lawyer and bulldog, how many words do you have now? I am up to 140, 4.84, 1817. This is just great for me.

1:42 pm

meggiemoo

1:43 pm

periwinkle

meggiemoo, yes it did! Did you get it too?

1:45 pm

meggiemoo

i think so

1:57 pm

dimwit

Why does the clock say 1.28 when it is 19.56 ? And does the 9 er end with tesque ?

1:59 pm

Atalante

Nope

1:59 pm

periwinkle

My 9 er ends in ed

2:02 pm

periwinkle

OMG, I now have 150 words, 4.89, 2030. My best game ever so far. Need to take another break. See you later. The game is taking most of my guesses today.

2:21 pm

dimwit

Any clues with the 9 er please ? I 've got some 8s but can't see that one.

2:25 pm

genny

there are a few good clues for the 9's in the chat log

2:28 pm

ButterfliesMamma

someone asked about Q words...I've got 3

2:50 pm

meggiemoo

daddy, this is hard!

2:51 pm

dimwit

Thanks I've got the 9 now, I thought I done that combo but I hadn't typed them
in! I have all 3 qs and the one with q in it, too.

3:40 pm

shutterbug

Butterfliesmama, there is a word with a q in it as well.

4:01 pm

periwinkle

170, 4.90,2308 great game for me.

4:07 pm

periwinkle

taking another break. Not sure I can find any more.

4:38 pm

runningforhome

Got the 84- and 72-point nines - are there any others?

5:02 pm

parker313

Not that I've seen or heard about

5:14 pm

periwinkle

Are there really three words beginning with Q plus the one with Q in it. I have two words starting with Q and one with Q in it.

5:17 pm

parker313

Yes, there really are.

5:19 pm

periwinkle

uh oh, is the last one an obscure word or something I might use in conversation?

5:20 pm

parker313

It's not obscure, but it's not a word I use often at all. It's definitely a real word - think Arthurian legends.

5:21 pm

ButterfliesMamma

one is another word for funny, the second is just adding a letter to the ending of the first, and the third is another word for journey

5:25 pm

periwinkle

I have the three Q words, YEAH

5:27 pm

periwinkle

I actually had all three Q words but had not checked my list before I asked my question. Thanks for the hints tho

5:28 pm

Q

i miss having the game stats.

6:20 pm

periwinkle

I am done. Too tired. 184, 4.95, 2483. Best game ever.

6:56 pm

meggiemoo

are there any "U" words?

6:59 pm

Christine

Meggiemoo - there's another name for guillemot, quet, which isn't accepted, but is in a couple of the dictionaries used by the Babble-bods.

7:28 pm

Mal

H iChristine

7:32 pm

LPF

Hey meggiemoo, which are u? Also I haven't found any yet and I've been looking since one this morning.

7:36 pm

dimwit

Don't understand why it will take one Persian word but won't take piri, which is another and regularly used in crosswords.
Anyone got a clue for the second 9 er ?

8:49 pm

Christine

Hi, MK -- how're your scores?

This board is driving me dotty - I have three Q-birds that aren't accepted....

9:03 pm

Jemper

PHEW! Found the 2 9's and 4 8's....just one more 8, right?

9:13 pm

Justin

There are at least eight 8's....

9:14 pm

Jemper

Eight!?! Wow, I better get cracking! :oP

9:19 pm

Justin

Heh, well, assuming you've got the two 8's associated with the two nines, I'd concentrate on 'R' words....

9:23 pm

Jemper

I've got two 8's starting with R...will keep looking. Thanks!

9:27 pm

Justin

No problem, I've got 5 that start with R, in case you're interested.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were more though!

9:31 pm

AlyMac

any more 8's hints?

9:43 pm

Justin

Well....

Think re- and think -ed

9:59 pm

AlyMac
