duding is a word? Is that the act of being a dude? :P

12:37 am

nutkin

no, a dud

12:40 am

eyezzz

From dictionary com:

tr.v. dud·ed, dud·ing, dudes
Slang. To dress elaborately or flamboyantly: got all duded up for the show.

In a sentence I guess it would be: I'm duding up for the party. Right.

12:28 pm

boatierra

It won't take 'soler.' What's up with that?!

12:31 pm

Cissi

Has anyone managed to use the K?

Christine, the 9 for 84 points is "without one of the 6s for 33"!

12:32 pm

Christine

Lord, I'm olde, so I recall the original release....

12:51 pm

Tolinya

clearly i have the wrong 6 for 33 cuz you can't make anything out of that!!!

12:57 pm

Christine

Cissi - thank you.. I found one, and it's "without", so I guess it's the one y'all have.

12:59 pm

Mal

Hi Christine are you still with us?

1:00 pm

Mal

Big sis I do not have a 9 YET!!!!!

1:17 pm

Christine

1:42 pm

Fingercrossed

Jo? Mel? Nancy??? You naughty girls go back to your home board - you know you are not supposed to be playing over here! ;)

1:47 pm

majenwen

Just found the 9; perhaps it's more accurate to say that it's without a 5 for 20

1:51 pm

jennyb

1:53 pm

Mal

Hi Christine yes I did go to a concert this afternoon it is now 8pm. I now have the 9 letter word

2:11 pm

liz

jlm_mi thank you

2:17 pm

Christine

pheeeww -- I thought I'd lost BABBLE -- the screen went blank and dark, and I couldn't get back.... palpitations, and vision of my pre-Babble life, when I read, sewed, did crosswords - wasted time in that fashion.
Drinks all around, on me.

2:20 pm

Christine

Marianne - you have mail....
I can't find a 7/48.. my 7s are all 36pts.

2:25 pm

Mal

Christine I did not mean I was " going on the game later" I meant playing Babble as you well know. Mum would indeed turn!!!!

2:29 pm

liz

mal, Christine did you get the maiden name

2:31 pm

Mal

Liz I am confuded again. Whose maiden name not mine.

2:33 pm

Christine

Mum's maiden name...

2:34 pm

Jodoy

Hi Jill (Fingercrossed)

You caught me! So are you playing too?

2:35 pm

Mal

Liz Yes I have that one.Christine did you get it?

3:20 pm

Fingercrossed

Well I read that you have to play three games to be ranked...what was I do do but play today and AGAIN tomorrow!

3:36 pm

lawyer-1

Finger....the 3-game rule works only when the Babble deity updates. That is sporadic.

3:46 pm

true_felicity

146 /1750 - I never did figure out what that 9 letter word was.

3:54 pm

Fingercrossed

Thank you lawyer1, oh great master of the tiles, for the heads up. I'm sure I'll be nowhere close to you on this list without Divine intervention. I'm really a pour spellar.

3:57 pm

Jodoy

Jill -- I see you're being your usual hilarious self. Thanks for the giggle. I'm 108 for 1492 and when I read someone's got 146 I could scream....glad you're onboard, old bean.

4:11 pm

Atalante

finally finally 100 words!

4:13 pm

Fingercrossed

Man - just when I sit down the little children beckon. Maybe I can finish after they go to bed. See ya Jo! Give T&M hugs.

4:17 pm

Jodoy

Jill: hugs to jh and m too. I'm giving up at 110/1505...bed calls in this part of the world. J

4:55 pm

mightynancy

Hi Jill! *waving* Hey Jo! Mel!

I'm getting more words today than yesterday, but they're shorter overall. I did get that 9 y'all have been talking about though! :D

4:58 pm

mightynancy

I might add that there are oodles of Spanish words in this one...muy frustrating!

5:00 pm

Christine

Marianne -- not sharing your words with me???

8:20 pm

B.B.

For all the foley artists playing Babble right now, I am dismayed that your profession of choice is not an acceptible word.

8:57 pm
