I couldn't find the second 'far' word; does one begin with D?

4:34 am

Christine

Noone's playing, this morning?? I'll be back.

5:48 am

periwinkle

Good Morning, marigold, This puzzle stinks.

5:57 am

granadan

Like a dead woodchuck under the porch (Sorry, this puzzle is like adilbert cartoon...)

6:00 am

periwinkle

mellowmasher, Yes, a breakdown would be very helpful.

6:10 am

periwinkle

How many 7's are in this puzzle? I have one for 28 and one for 40.

6:14 am

Kukana

I have five 7s: two for 48, one for 40, one for 36 and one for 28. If your 40 is the same as mine, then the 36 is just one letter different.

6:17 am

periwinkle

Kukana, My 40 starts with T, does yours?

6:18 am

periwinkle

Kukana, Never mind, I got the the 36. Thanks.

6:19 am

marigold

good morning perwinkle. this puzzle stinks.

6:21 am

periwinkle

What does the 7 for 48 start with, please?

6:24 am

Kukana

One starts with a, the other starts with t. Neither of them are very common words :-(

6:24 am

Kukana

Oops, sorry, got that wrong! The one that starts with a is a 6 for 48. The other 7 for 48 starts with d.

6:25 am

periwinkle

Great, Well I will keep trying anyway. Thanks. Kukana.

7:01 am

Kukana

61 words, and completely stuck!

7:11 am

Kukana

OK, now I have 65. I understand there are 70 altogether... here's my breakdown by starting letters:

A - 6
D - 8
H - 6
L - 2
O - 5
P - 5
R - 7
T - 21
W - 2
Y - 3

7:30 am

Kirsty1

Hi Kukana, I have one less than you but I can see from your list that you need at least one O and another N. Hope that helps :o)

7:31 am

Kirsty1

...except that the "another" and "at least" in that message should have been the other way around *sigh*

7:36 am

Kukana

Thanks, Kirsty.. just saw the N straight away when I looked!

8:53 am

Kappaslappa

Hello Ciao people

9:05 am

Kukana

Hi there!

9:23 am

jmbdobie

I also have 65 ( 894 pts).
Here's what I have so far:

A - 6
D - 8
H - 6
L - 2
N - 1
O - 4
P - 7
R - 7
T - 19
W - 2
Y - 3

9:53 am

Daisy

I think there are 6 7s. I have 5, but they're not the same as Kukanas. Mine are 48, 32, 28, 40, and 36.
So according to Kukana's count I'm missing a 48 and Kukana is missing a 32.

9:53 am

Daisy

Oh, and mine are listed alphabetically.

10:37 am

runningforhome

mellowmasher - thanks for the great hints on the sevens.

jmbdobie

67 words 909

Ten more minutes and I am out of here.

11:22 am

mellowmasher

6x7 6x6 5x22 4x36

11:53 am

Daisy

If there are really only 70 then I've got them all. I have the same numbers as mellowmasher so that's probably all there is. This one was not much fun.

12:32 pm

Kukana

I now have 67 for 946, and I have six 7s including one for 32, so I think that's all the 7s.

So I'm missing two p's and a y....

12:41 pm

Kukana

Gottem :-) With a bit of help from a2zwordfinder and some guesses about starting sequences!

1:42 pm

Mal

Christine are you there

2:10 pm

stevedallas

46 and 577 and Im done

2:13 pm

boatierra

I hate that it doesn't accept 'aten,' as in the Egyptian pharoh.

4:02 pm

Christine

Marianne, I'm here - I thought you were not playing, until the weekend?

4:08 pm

boomrz2

I wonder how many days in a row the same word has appeared? Tent is the running word currently...

4:28 pm

Christine

Isn't that A6 one of the wierdest words? I noodled all the combinations, and thought nothing took, then this morning I saw it had been accepted, last night.... oh, I'm learning sooo many new words, on this board - and sometimes they reappear, which is a kick.

4:36 pm

Christine

Kukana - you have a 7/32 word, that I can't find... will you give a clue? Perhaps the first letter??

5:02 pm

Christine

I have four 7s for 48, 28, 40 and 36 points.. anyone willing to share some clues for starting letters? I think theres's a 32 and perhaps another 48?

5:07 pm

Tolinya

mulher dont' know if you're on or not..but apparently the two 2 hour naps are here to stay...although he's not going to sleep until 10:00p. Sigh

5:34 pm

Christine

Tolinya - are we the only ones playing, d'you think?
Any clues for the dratted 6s or 7s??

5:54 pm

runningforhome

I'm here... you'd think a five-hour break would help, but I still can't find any more words.

6:09 pm

cz

Currently at 46/647.
I have 4 7's: 48,28,40,36 and
5 6's: 48, 18, 36, 24, 33, if I haven't made any typos.

6:12 pm

Christine

Well, I must walk to the corner, to mail a couple of letters - with my knees, that'll take 30 minutes, at least - see y'all soon (perhaps the fresh air will clear my brain??)

6:15 pm

Tolinya

eh i gave up at 12...i'm trying to work on a spreadsheet and i can't see anything anymore..too many lines/numbers...sigh

6:34 pm

cz

Correction:
My 7's are 32,28,40, 36. Chalk the error up to bleary eyes!

6:59 pm

Christine

CZ - for the love of Pete, please tell me the starting letter for 32 point.
I have a D48, that's not on your list.

7:11 pm

babblor

Can someone give me a hint for the the 48 point 7?

7:12 pm

babblor

The starting letter for the 32 point is "o"

7:18 pm

Christine

Thank you, my child - you will be blessed with good things, starting right...... NOW.
(I may not find the blasted word, but at least I know where to concentrate - and still not find it)

7:20 pm

Christine

There's a D7 for 48..

7:22 pm

babblor

Ohhhh thanx, I completely missed that word.

7:25 pm

Christine

And I'd overlooked the O... thanks again.
See, the blessings started coming.

7:25 pm

faunafrailty

Is the D7 word an everyday word? Thanks.

7:38 pm

Christine

Oh Lord, no - start with a common, five letter word, add a suffix, to make it an adverb (I guess). Hope this helps.

8:17 pm

sleeky

Thanks, that got it for me!

8:22 pm

cz

Sorry Christine stepped out for a bit...good that you got the O7, and thanks for the clue I just got the D7.

8:25 pm

MammaJill

I have 3 O words all starting with OU...what is the second letter for the other 3?

8:35 pm

runningforhome

There is one more starting with OU, can't help you on the other two; don't have them yet.

9:02 pm

periwinkle

Which A did you use for the 6 letter word for 48, please?

9:05 pm

Christine

Periwinkle - the A on the bottom line.

9:07 pm

periwinkle

Thank you Christine, I will give it my best shot.

9:12 pm

periwinkle

Are there 5 seven letter words?

9:30 pm

Christine

Ain't no way I can find four more O words, I have only two OUs.
I believe there are six 7-letter words - I have five, worth 48, 32, 28, 40 and 36; there may be another 48??

9:59 pm

fixitfmly

Christine -
there are at least 2 more 'ou' words -- neither has a def in the babble dic! Both are 6 ltr -- one would describe the winner of the hotdog eating contest; the other would describe someone who is the best in summation in their math class.
Another puzzle I wish I wouldn't have started. DH says it's my bedtime again ;-)

10:10 pm

Minski

I have 4 "O" words and 3 of them are "OU" words. How many total "O" words are there and how many of them are "OU" words?

Thanks.
38/520

10:22 pm

Minski

forget it.
I'm done.
bedtime for bonzo.
see you on the flipside

11:09 pm

Christine

Oooh, I found the other OU words - now have all fout - noodled on the word OUT.
Now to look for the other Os, and the N.
