Congratulations, on your score.

Atalante

oooooh I don't like this one - especially after yesterdays

1:32 am

Christine

Came back to enter all my words.... 31 for 343... the longest 6-letters. Am I the winner?
There's sooo many near-words.
Still, yesterday started off very slow, for me, and I managed to get a few words, so....

1:35 am

1:55 am

Christine

Wll, I now have 35/370, but that's only two 6s, for 48 & 30; and four 5S... can't find that bloomin' 7/64... is it too early to ask for clues?

2:25 am

Christine

Am I the only one that can't see the 7/64? Yes, I am... do not taunt me, I've been out of chocolate for almost a week.... you have been warned.

Excuse, please, the double post... can't begin to figure how that happened.

5:26 am

Christine

Marianne - yes, that's the word I tried to find, and I didn't see the N in the bottom of the grid.
It was driving me mad - then it just jumped out at me - Eureka!

runningforhome

Thanks fit1, I found the six I was missing. Now to find the 7/56.

11:56 am

Kukana

I have 70 words but only 897 points, I think I must still be missing some high-scoring ones. How do we find out how many words there are? Is there a site which will tell us without telling us the actual words?

12:10 pm

Mal

Christine, I really am stuck where on earth are all these words. The coffee didnt help I think I need a VODKA

12:20 pm

Christine

I see 'flamingo'..... my "happy word" for today -- like yesterday's 'ebullient'... didn't that make you want to smile...

12:39 pm

MammaJill

12:42 pm

Kukana

12:50 pm

runningforhome

I checked with a solver; it says there are 74 words.

12:57 pm

Christine

Kukana - will you post your stats, please, oh please..
I'd guess you have more than three 6s and one 7??

1:02 pm

Kukana

I have 70 so there must be four more hidden away somewhere... here are my stats, anyway:

A - 11
C - 4
D - 4
E - 5
F - 8
G - 1
H - 12
I - 1
L - 6
M - 5
N - 2
O - 2
P - 3
R - 6

I have three 7s (44,64,56) and four 6s (21,48,24,30)

Hope that helps! Anyone know where I should look for the last four??

1:02 pm

Treble99

1:38 pm

4t8

can i please please have an n for lexicon...

2:03 pm

Kukana

What's wrong with the n in the bottom right corner??

2:30 pm

Christine

4t8 -- that was my problem.... all morning I tried to make that word - suddenly, someone put an N in the lower corner - go figure..

2:32 pm

Christine

Kukana - thanks,

2:45 pm

Christine

Oooops -- I meant "thanks for the stats"...

2:48 pm

Mal

Christine I have 58 words which means I have lost about 12 Someone must have stolen them! Not a Renta anything among them.

2:52 pm

Treble99

56 here. At least a 6 and a 7 missing.

3:37 pm

Christine

5:05 pm

youngster

5:13 pm

periwinkle

5:14 pm

5:16 pm

marigold

i have 6 A words

5:17 pm

youngster

periwinkle, yes I mean the 5/18. I've tried every combination I can think of, but can't get anything. I'm assuming you used the a at the bottom of the grid?

5:19 pm

periwinkle

youngster, The A at the top of the grid.

5:19 pm

marigold

now I have 7 A words

5:20 pm

periwinkle

youngster, think of little rodents sometimes found in houses and put an A in front of it.

5:22 pm

marigold

the 5 for 24 A word is the A from the bottom of the grid

5:22 pm

youngster

Thank you. Why couldn't I see that before?

5:27 pm

periwinkle

youngster, you are welcome :)

5:29 pm

Mal

Thanks Periwinkle for the clue.

5:30 pm

periwinkle

your welcome, Mal

5:32 pm

Mal

5:34 pm

youngster

The i word is 4/6

5:37 pm

periwinkle

Thanks, youngster, Found the I word. Why didn't I see that before?

5:37 pm

Mal

Periwinkle do you have the i word?

5:38 pm

youngster

Any clues for the 'o' words?

5:39 pm

periwinkle

Yes, Mal. It is a common word. Keep looking. You will find it. Think idol.

5:40 pm

Rabbit

the G word is 4/5 with no definition

5:40 pm

periwinkle

Only have one O word which is used to start Fairy tales. It was in yesterdays grid.

5:41 pm

youngster

I still only have 6 a's

6:06 pm

Rabbit

I have 5 A's 4/6, 5/20, 5/18, 5/24, 4/11

6:08 pm

youngster

I have a 5/16 and 2x4/11. I don't have the 5/20

6:10 pm

Rabbit

A 5/20 first Greek letter

6:14 pm

youngster

Rabbit. Ok. Thanks again. I keep looking at letters closer together. I'll get the hang of this eventually. Won't I?

6:16 pm

Rabbit

Sure you will. the more you play the easier it will get, because you will start to see words as soon as you see the board. Also the more words you learn the better. I'm still new at this as well. I've only been playing about a month.

6:20 pm

youngster

And you're at no. 62 already in the ranking!!!!

6:23 pm

Rabbit

Don't let that fool you. I am currently able to spend many hours in front of my computer to play this game. Once I am able to find a job that time will no longer exist and I won't be able to keep that ranking. Of that I am sure.

6:25 pm

youngster

But you're already an expert. By that time, you'll only need a fraction of the time, and I'll still be struggling.

6:30 pm

Karin

There`s an a/6 for 42. I don`t have a definition for it .

6:31 pm

Rabbit

I am only able to do as well as I have because the others on this site help out so much. I read the clues given by everyone and that helps me to find words staring me in the face. I still miss many of them. To give an example, it wasn't until the clue about "story time" that I got the "O" word.

6:34 pm

youngster

Karin, could you say if it's the top or bottom 'a'?

6:35 pm

youngster

Rabbit. I know, the clues are great, but I'm still only at 43 words for 512

6:37 pm

Rabbit

I'm only at 45 for 554

6:38 pm

youngster

But I need to go to bed soon, so you'll be way ahead. This is getting addictive, and I'm struggling to get up in the mornings.

6:41 pm

Rabbit

I understand that. I'm getting ready to break for dinner. Don't know that I will be able to get back later.

6:44 pm

youngster

well you've still over 5 hours to go. I'll give it another 10 mins then call it a night I think.

6:44 pm

periwinkle

Rabbit, Thanks. With your help I found the A/20. Don't know why I didn't see it myself.

6:44 pm

Rabbit

got the 6/42 "A" word. Youngster, if you can figure out the point value of the words it will help in "noodling" out the word.

6:45 pm

youngster

Karin, can you help out with that other a word?

6:47 pm

Rabbit

the a word 6/42 starts at the bottom

6:48 pm

periwinkle

Karin, which A does the 6/42 start with please.

6:52 pm

youngster

periwinkle, Rabbit's just told me it starts at the botom, but I still can't see it, even with all the clues!

6:53 pm

periwinkle

I can't find it either :(

6:54 pm

Rabbit

the A word will include the X

6:54 pm

youngster

Rabbit, what's the last letter? I'm too tired.

6:55 pm

Rabbit

It's at the top of my list. I only figured it out by typing in any and all combinations.

6:55 pm

Rabbit

it begin's and ends with A

6:55 pm

Karin

The bottom a, starts the a/42

6:56 pm

Rabbit

found the definition - Accessory or adjoining anatomical parts, as ovaries and oviducts in relation to the uterus.

6:56 pm

periwinkle

Rabbit, I realized that the A word would include the x but still need help. would you please tell me the 2nd letter.

7:00 pm

Rabbit

the second letter is d

7:00 pm

youngster

Yeah!!!! Never heard of it before. Thanks.

7:02 pm

Rabbit

I am glad that you found it. I had never heard of it before either. :)

7:02 pm

youngster

I'm now at 44 for 554! I think that'll have to do.

7:04 pm

periwinkle

thank you, Rabbit and Karin. I have actually heard of the word but never thought to look for it. Would not have found it without your help. :)

7:05 pm

youngster

Well it's not exactly an every day conversation piece is it? Think I'll be discussing 'accessory or adjoining anatomical parts, as ovaries and oviducts in relation to the uterus' during tea-beak tomorow!

7:06 pm

Rabbit

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

7:09 pm

youngster

I could just have breakfast now to save time in the morning, so I could stay on longer......hhhmm

7:16 pm

marigold

perwinkle.....I got the 6 for 42 A word

7:18 pm

youngster

Does anyone have the 7s for 44 or 56?

7:20 pm

periwinkle

No, youngster. I only have one 7 letter word. I would love to have clues for the missigs 7 letter words.

7:20 pm

periwinkle

I meant missing 7 letter words.

7:21 pm

periwinkle

marigold, do you have the 7 letter words for 44 and 56?

7:24 pm

marigold

Are there any clues for the 7/44 or 7/56. Please

7:34 pm

youngster

Just found the second 'o' word....4/6

7:41 pm

dimwit

This puzzle is lovely, loads of words using x, and so far 3 of my cat's names, they are all foreign words - didn't know they had English meanings as well. :D

7:44 pm

marigold

youngster, may I have a clue for the O word you just found.

7:44 pm

marigold

still hoping for clues to the 7/44 and 7/56. Pretty please? What letters do they start with?

7:47 pm

youngster

marigold, use the top 'o'. Almost sounds as though it's to do with one of the senses.

7:49 pm

youngster

dimwit, and your cats are called...?

7:51 pm

youngster

I only have one 'c' word 4/6. Any clues on the others?

7:57 pm

Christine

C44 - 'harmony'; 'R56 - reunite/reattach'
C-word is courtesy of Marianne... I never would've found it... think I've never heard of it!
Clever kid, my baby sistah.

7:57 pm

periwinkle

Just found an A/7 for 60.

8:02 pm

youngster

periwinkle, are you willing to share, or just want to taunt us?

8:04 pm

youngster

Christine, no further forward with the 'c' word. Any other clues?

8:07 pm

periwinkle

for the A/60. If you have the a/6/42 just add an l (ell) to the end.

8:07 pm

youngster

Just found a 'c' 7/44!

8:08 pm

periwinkle

Can't figure out the r/56 word. Christine would you please tell me the 2nd letter or the end letter. :)

8:08 pm

youngster

I wouldn't have thought it meant harmony though

8:10 pm

youngster

Thanks periwinkle. Think I can go to bed now. I'm back up in 5 hours

8:10 pm

Christine

Did someone post a clue to the N-word? I have only the little 4/11..... someone mentioned what a nice word it is??
And, your 'anatomical' word... I noodled it from your clues, then googled the word, which gave another perfectly good word (an extension of the A5 we already) have, but BabbleBoss doesn't like that one.

8:11 pm

periwinkle

marigold, have you found the r/56 yet?

8:12 pm

Christine

Wow... did you notice that? 'have' escaped from the stockade...

8:13 pm

periwinkle

I only have the n/4/11 too. Would appreciate help with finding the other N word.

8:16 pm

youngster

Christine, I think they were meaning the 'nice letter n' at the bottom of the grid, which no-one seemed to notice for making the 7/64 word

8:17 pm

Christine

Periwinkle... it begins RE, with the 5/14 word.
Will someone post a clue to the N-word, please.....

8:23 pm

periwinkle

Christiine, I figured it must start with RE but I just can't see it. :(

8:25 pm

Christine

Thanks, youngster.... I was looking for a really nice word, maybe 17 letters? Kukana listed two N-words, so I'm still looking;

8:27 pm

youngster

Christine, I don't even have the 5/14 word you mentioned. Can you help with that? I figure it has to start an...?

8:29 pm

periwinkle

youngster, Christine must have meant 5/24. Yes, an is currect. You will get it now.

8:29 pm

Christine

Periwinkle... RE + five letters... A-----, and it must include the X, for the points.... call, if you need more help... ;).

8:31 pm

Christine

Sorry... 5/twentyfour, aaargh.

8:31 pm

dimwit

Sorry youngster, had to go and give the moggies their supper. One of their names
was the short o word you found, as for the rest.....:)

8:32 pm

periwinkle

Christine. I was confused because I was looking for a word with 5/14 word to attach the RE to and it was really a 5/24. Were you trying to confuse me?

8:33 pm

youngster

periwinkle and Christine. Thank you. At last :)

8:34 pm

youngster

dimwit, That's cruel!

8:34 pm

periwinkle

youngster, you are welcome

8:36 pm

youngster

I'm at 49 words. Need to reach 50 before I go to bed. Can anyone help me? I'm sooooo tired, and only 4 1/2 hours till I get back up :(

8:37 pm

periwinkle

marigold, I found the r/7/56.

8:39 pm

dimwit

youngster you probably have them, they are all 4 letters, the other 3 begin with f, h and m

8:41 pm

youngster

dimwit, don't think I've got the 'h'

8:43 pm

Christine

Periwinkle --- dang, foiled again, Youngster saw through my dastardly scheme...
Now, that little G-word is odd -- a placename, but Babble accepted it??

8:43 pm

dimwit

old english meaning is to seize

8:44 pm

youngster

dimwit, 4/? for the 'h' word?

8:45 pm

dimwit

4/7, youngster

8:50 pm

youngster

dimwit, Ok, I think I've just found it. It would have been easier if you'd called it 'fluff' ! I can go to bed now thanks. I've got my 50 words. G'nite.

8:52 pm

dimwit

'night youngster, sleep well

8:54 pm

dimwit

this dictionary has never heard of plexi -glass obviously ! Any help with the g place name ?
My crossword solver(used in extreme emergency) came up with nothing that fit

8:54 pm

youngster

If anyone's still on in 4 hours....could you wake me?

9:02 pm

runningforhome

Anyone have a hint for the 7/44? Starting letter maybe? Sorry if there's something about it in the log that I missed...

9:14 pm

dimwit

I thought it might be content but it doesn't fit :(

9:23 pm

fit1

Numerically, I'm looking at the D and the H to be in it.

9:26 pm

periwinkle

the 7/44 c word I have means harmony, concert of voices

9:27 pm

Christine

dimwit... you are soooo close - try again.

9:31 pm

Krys10

dimwit - the g word is a brand name for french earthenware, apparently.

any hints for the 6/24?

9:35 pm

dimwit

I have the harmony ! weird ! Thanks.

I googled the g word thanks Krys10, would never have got that one.

9:37 pm

fit1

6/24 begins with n, but I don't know what it means

9:44 pm

dimwit

I have the n for 64, the babble dictionary says it means causing harm

9:45 pm

dimwit

sorry slip of the finger, meant 24!

9:54 pm

dimwit

Can someone tell me if all the h's are 4 letters each please ?

9:56 pm

fit1

thanks dim, I was just too lazy to look it up :) And I am soooo struggling with the c-7

9:58 pm

dimwit

As christine said, my idea was almost right. You need to change one letter in the middle..

9:58 pm

Christine

hmmm... couple of great thoughts, here... I got the N6 using the points given. I'm not familiar with this word, as is, but prefix it with IN, and there you are - a very common word... who knew?
And my H-words are all 4 -letters.

9:58 pm

fit1

I GOT IT> By George I've got it!!!!1

9:58 pm

dimwit

that goes for both c/7's

10:00 pm

fit1

I now have 54/735. How many more are there?

10:02 pm

Krys10

I have 11 H's and two of them are a 5/16 and a 5/20...

10:03 pm

Krys10

Geez, there are two c/7's? *sigh*

10:04 pm

dimwit

my crossword solver says that hele and hend are words but the grid won't accept them :(

Didn't someone say there were 74 ?

10:05 pm

Christine

Perhaps I should just shut up.... I'm making too many fingerslips... one of my H-words is 5/20/
Do we have an updated stat sheet? I have 4/6s and 5/7s.

10:08 pm

dimwit

Oh dear, I've only got 3x7 and 1x6 ?

10:10 pm

dimwit

scrolled down too quickly, actually 3 of each

10:13 pm

fit1

the h 5/16 is a reddish hair color

10:17 pm

fit1

The H 5/20 means "curved rise to a higher part." Now I have to find two more 7s. ARGGGGHHH . Especially for the second "C" one

10:20 pm

dimwit

just don't be too big-headed about it..........

10:22 pm

fit1

Hey dim, I assume that's a clue LOL

I know my 66th ranking is at stake here, but I think I'll pass on the last two 7's and the other bazillion words I'm missing and go to bed LOL

These are my stats... 56 for 830... let's compare...
A -- 5/4 - 3/5 - 1/6 - 2/7
C -- 2/4
D -- 2/4 - 1/4 - 1/6
E -- 4/4 - 1/5
G -- 1/4
H -- 9/4 - 1/5
I -- 1/4
L -- 2/4 - 1/7
M -- 4/4
N -- 1/4
O -- 2/4
P -- 1/4 - 1/6
R -- 3/4
That's 40/4s, 6/5s, 5/6s and 5/7s.
Ninety minutes left, to find 20 words... I think I can, I think I can...

Dimwit - your A7 produces lace? I think that's why it's included... as is the G4, producing Quimper(sp) faience.

As dawn is fast approaching I don't think I have the energy for full stats - but I have 60 for 837, and my As are - 4/6. 4/7, 7/36. 4/6. 5/16. 5/24, 5/24. 4/11. 4/11

I don't quite understand Christine, but I'm sure there is a logical explanation :)

Should there be any t words, I can't find any yet?

Two C7s??? We know one is not 'concert' so what is the other???
Can we get a second letter for the H5 that is 'rising'.... and in Ps, I have 4/6 and 7/30.
Not asking too much, am I!

Christine, your second P is a 6/30 or a 7/30?
I will be completely content to let this grid go and move on to tomorrow's!

So close yet so far....64/948

I have 5 7's (2A, C, L, R)
and 5 6's (A, D, F, N, P).

Unfortunately I think I'm done....I think I'm missing a C, E, F, L, and R.
