anyone have a clue for he7?
12:41 am
AnnaK
els no sorry i'm stuck on that one too.
12:42 am
NonoNanette
he7 is pl of the he6 before it
12:43 am
elsbeau
the only he I have cannot be pluralized
12:44 am
SamanthaJoy
he6/7 are words that talk about the best part of your life. The he7s of summer
12:44 am
SamanthaJoy
Also: compound, and alternate spelling than you're probably used to seeing it
12:45 am
NonoNanette
excellent clue samantha
12:45 am
AnnaK
thank you! didn't know that was one word!
12:45 am
SamanthaJoy
Geeze. Normally I'm rubbish at cluing. So glad I got this one right!
12:46 am
elsbeau
thanks sam and nono
12:47 am
SamanthaJoy
. . . why is de 6/30 a word?
12:48 am
SamanthaJoy
. . . I mean, really, who thought there was a need for that word? Why did that come about?
12:48 am
AnnaK
don't know. didn't get it yet...
12:48 am
AnnaK
clues welcome hint hint..
12:48 am
Q
i think it predates the de7 (not on the grid) word that it sounds like.
12:49 am
SamanthaJoy
extend de 5/14, which is most people's second worst fear after public speaking, and then ask yourself WHY THAT WORD IS NEEDED in any language
12:53 am
AnnaK
I don't know. Sounds like a word that might have been invented on the Colbert Report
12:55 am
SamanthaJoy
*snrk*
Not inaccurate
1:06 am

1:56 am
juniperberet
he7/52 memorable summer days, jbp
1:56 am
juniperberet
oops, a bit too much word in that clue, sorry
1:57 am
jbp
thanks, juniper, otherwise, I likely wouldn't have got it
1:58 am
jbp
going to try my luck with lickety's list...
1:58 am
juniperberet
yw, I'm struggling with my last 6: I don't think lickety is up yet
1:58 am

1:59 am
doris123

2:00 am
juniperberet
there are some good useful clues in the chog, though
2:00 am
jbp
i need one more h... I have h+insect, grasses, skull, skulls, skull-y, not cold, meadow, meadow-y, not light, and thje one you just clued
2:00 am
juniperberet
ooh, thanks doris!
2:00 am
jbp
ooh, that's much better, dorris. thanks!
2:02 am
juniperberet
I doubt you'll need a clue for your last H after looking at the list, jbp, but I have it if needed.
2:03 am
jbp
i had to go back for the singular. ;-)_
2:05 am
jbp
so if hurshy is not online, how do I get to her profile?
2:05 am
juniperberet
I went to the rankings and did control-f and then searched for Hurshy.
2:05 am
juniperberet
I'm sure there's an easier way, lol
2:06 am
doris123
i went to rankings and looked for her name and clicked on it
2:07 am
juniperberet
lol, doris, your eyes are working better than mine - I scanned all up and down and couldn't find her profile.
2:07 am
jbp
ok, so i need an 5/10... i have insect-a-plural...
2:08 am
juniperberet
try the other plural form, jbp
2:09 am
juniperberet
ugh, my last word was a missed plural. I do hope I wake up at some point this morning :/
2:10 am
jbp
i know it's an an 5/10, and my only other one is the one i gave and it's plural
2:10 am
juniperberet
end that one in a vowel instead
2:10 am
jbp
ah, latin roots will be the death of me!
2:11 am
jbp
congrats on fireworks!
2:11 am
jbp
i have 2 left... will see if I can revive my monkeys
2:11 am

So far, dog walker came and gardener just arrived. The garden looks like a jungle but the tomatoes are starting to ripen!
4:18 am
MollyL
There is nothing like sun ripened tomatoes.
4:49 am
rubyfoo
I only eat tomatoes when they are from the garden. The one is the store aren't Worth the trouble.
4:49 am
rubyfoo
lunch arrives!
4:58 am
MollyL
There is no substitute for fresh. Fresh strawberries and fresh peaches come to mind. Once you have had those, the ones that masquerade as strawberries and peaches in the grocery stores don't come close.
5:14 am
Marc Freeman
another clue for the he6, please?
5:20 am
sukee
nbt and that was not easy :) 26 to go
5:24 am
sukee
okay 13 left now...a little easier.
5:25 am
Marc Freeman
the one before the 7 is the one I am looking for?
5:26 am
sukee
I don't have any 6 or 7 letter words yet.
5:28 am
Marc Freeman
the he6 that comes before the he7, please?
5:33 am
MollyL
The singular of the 7
5:34 am
sukee
Ah...finally got the HE 6/7
5:35 am
bichon
no list today?
5:35 am
sukee
HE 6/7 - what the best time of your life is often called.
5:35 am
sukee
Now I only have 6 left
5:37 am
bichon
Does anyone have a list in their profile?
5:37 am
MollyL
I have Hurshy's list in my profile
5:39 am
MollyL
Whenever the previous day has Lickety at one off from the regular grid, the next day Lickety will be late. Somehow, that one word difference messes with his program.
5:41 am
bichon
Thanks for explaining
5:42 am
sukee
ok...down to the last one.
5:42 am
MollyL
Not much of a problem with the smaller grids. Usually a problem with the larger grids since there are those who will not work with any list but Lickety.
5:43 am
rubyfoo
Hello again. 10 left
5:46 am
sukee
Can't seem to get that last SA 5/14
5:47 am

unhappy man
5:47 am
sukee
I have that one, I guess the one before it then
5:47 am
sukee
Got it! Fireworks.
5:47 am
sukee
It was the last one :)
5:48 am
rubyfoo
No idea! Yay, Sukee
5:48 am
sukee
The list helped, ty Molly.
5:48 am
bichon
ruby, don't understand unhappy man
5:49 am
sukee
When you refer to a man by a pronoun
5:49 am
rubyfoo
sa (unhappy) + not a girl
5:50 am
sukee
That last word was a good find because I am hungry and it is time for breakfast. I won't be having that though :)
5:50 am
bichon
I have that one, but ty anyway
5:50 am
MollyL
I like clues that make people think. Unhappy = sad. Then, what would a two letter word for man be.
5:51 am
sukee
Take care all.
6:37 am

9:16 am
amelu0218

9:16 am
Scrabbler
I tried that a few minutes ago, thinking it was a non-word, and it worked.
9:17 am
amelu0218

9:17 am

Scrabbler
Great news, Trif.
9:31 am
Trifioso
thank you for asking
9:31 am
Scrabbler
Is it a MRSA infection?
9:32 am
Scrabbler
Dr Scrabbler was immediately worried after getting some info yesterday. I went right into doc mode.
9:32 am
Trifioso
I don't think so - something about grand long rods? staph or strepto variant I think
9:32 am
Scrabbler
Gram negative rods?
9:33 am
Trifioso
I didn't write it down, I'm sorry
9:33 am
Scrabbler
Staph and Strep are Gram positive. Refers to Gram stain.
9:33 am

I clued he5/22 = opposite of a light weight.
9:36 am

There are a lot of racially and ethnically "unpleasant" words. They are still words and are still playable in a word game like this, or Scrabble.
11:05 am
Kaplan the Magne
They allow dago for example
11:07 am

They allow cunt too and that seems to set people here off every time it shows up in a grid.

Question for someone far better in math than I am (and I suspect that's everyone on here...) So I have a total of 870 items, of which 11 are red. So I think I divide 11 by 870 to get the percentage of red items, which comes out to 0.01. If I'm reading that right, that would be one tenth of one percent, right? But that doesn't seem right.... help!
5:34 pm
ch1212
I'm thinking it through that 10% of 870 would be 87, and so 1 percent would be 8.7. SO it doesn't make sense that 11 would be smaller than the 1 percent.
5:40 pm
scouser
You've missed out the 100 bit of the division to make it a percentage. You have 0.012 i.e. 1.2%
5:40 pm
ch1212
So 1.2% would be 11?
5:42 pm
scouser
1% is 1 in a 100. or 10 in 1000; 11 is close to 10, and 870 is closer to 1000 than 100, so yes 1.2%
5:42 pm
scouser
1% is 1 in a 100. or 10 in 1000; 11 is close to 10, and 870 is closer to 1000 than 100, so yes 1.2%
5:43 pm
ch1212
Ah, I just checked it, and of course it is (close enough). THANK YOU, scouser! Do you need any clues from me? And thanks for the explanation - that will help when I tackle the other figures.
5:43 pm
scouser
and I don't know why it sent it twice!
5:43 pm
scouser
I only just started on the grid so I should be OK. Thank you anyway.
5:44 pm
