parker313

I don't have a 9 either and the only time I've seen it mentioned was someone else saying they didn't have one......

8:41 pm

parker313

I have 2 8s worth 45 each and 1 8 worth 50 (that's the pregnancy related one).

8:49 pm

Riff

I have the 2 pregnancy-related ones

8:50 pm

Riff

so I guess I'm only missing one 8 for 45...I have the "new doctor" one

8:50 pm

Christine

I'm working at a disadvantage, here -- it's forty years since I was pregnant. and the A word I thought was 'it', just won't take, in any arrangement of the letters... ah well, as someone here, has said. 'onwards and sideways', which just about describes it...
I have two words beginning with Y, and 7 containing Y...no Js, no way, no how.

8:54 pm

shortseer

only two words starting with y?
hmmm...
there are many ways to ... err ... sing

8:54 pm

Riff

I have 5 beginning with y, have you read the chat log for clues?

8:55 pm

Riff

I had to go to dictionary.com for one of the pregnancy ones...is that cheating? lol

9:00 pm

Christine

Yes, I sang.... and that was it....
now, I gotta watch Jeopardy, so I;ll be back.... has anyone used, or started with, the J??

9:04 pm

shortseer

i have 8 words starting with Y
... inclusing one that i am still clueless as to what it means.
Has anybody said what this 9-letter word starts with?

9:20 pm

parker313

Has anyone confirmed that there IS a 9 letter word?........

9:21 pm

parker313

Riff - The other 8 is very similar to the doctor one....

9:24 pm

runningforhome

I don't think there is a nine.

9:24 pm

Riff

thanks kristin :)

9:25 pm

Riff

I got a 7, not an 8, but that's ok too

9:27 pm

Maudie

Riff - was the Ovusoft site scheduled to be down today?

9:28 pm

Riff

not to my knowledge

9:32 pm

parker313

Not to my knowledge either..... The way it was going up and down all day might mean server problems.......

9:40 pm

Riff

Ugh, I gotta take a break, my back is killing me...147/4.86/1802. Have fun ladies!

9:41 pm

boatierra

OK, I'm gonna kinda give away a word here, but technically since the Dic.com considers is an acronym, guess in this case its not a 'word.' I plugged in 'tels' to see if Babble would accept it. Tel means hill in Hebrew. (Example: Tel-Aviv is 'hill of the spring.') It was accepted, but not as a word, as an acronym. Tel(s) is in the Official Scrabble Players Dictoinary. Not that this is important, but just something I wanted to point out. ;)

9:49 pm

Krista

When it "took" for me, I assumed it was the Hebrew word. Don't get me started on this dictionary! :)~

9:57 pm

4t8

ok, i Just got the other 8, how slow is that!

10:34 pm

parker313

11:46 pm

jayferg

11:47 pm

jayferg

do you have the beginning part or do you need help with that?

11:48 pm

bigbirdboss

onyx: starts with A: has to do with the fluid surrounding a fetus, but with a different ending

11:51 pm

onyx

thanx, i got the first part, it is the endings that i'm not getting

11:53 pm

atljenn

I can get the first 5 letters and then I'm stuck

11:54 pm

bigbirdboss

11:54 pm

Christine

This bloomin' amnio thing is driving me dotty... I just can't get the ending(s).

11:56 pm

11:56 pm

onyx

thanx

12:01 am

Christine

OMGosh - I posted that too obvious thingie - then realised I already had the 7 and 8 letter words... I'm soooo smart, even when I don't know what I'm doing... now to find the 6 or 9 or whatever is missing... and the 4th and 5th Y words.
I'm making them up, like crazy, and there's no definition for some of them, but the Babble-Bug takes them... tra-la-la.
