hi

rastapopolous

I thought I'd found the 7, but crayola is not in the dictionary :(

12:26 am

Lizlin

Just checked Lickety's list - he has too many words. He has 2 x 7 letter words, so I guess crayola is the extra.

12:26 am

MitchDick

fireworks - al6/7

12:27 am

Lizlin

Congrats

12:27 am

flosey

way to go Mitch

12:29 am

Lizlin

I emailed Lickety and so hopefully he'll adjust his list.

12:29 am

flosey

thanks Liz

rbud

I would think as crayola is a brand name, not likely to be in Enable. Always wondered how the lickety list works, it must filter somehow to avoid non-enable words, I guess.

12:55 am

rbud

funny, all these years hearing about enable, have never actually "been" there - is it a site with word lists?

12:59 am

ARB

want to learn about enable :

12:59 am

ARB

https://www.wordplays.com/official-scr\nabble-word-lists/enable-word-list/

1:03 am

sprite

good morning all

1:05 am

flosey

Good morning Sprite

1:05 am

rbud

ah, thanks... removed the \n - doesn't really go to a list as such, huh? guess it's downloadable. I like morewords just fine, works for me.

1:05 am

rbud

ah, hello, ladies!

1:06 am

sprite

lickety's list also uses the enable word list. The problem is, he uses a newer version than babble does, which is why sometimes the valid words do not fully overlap.

1:06 am

sprite

*hugs flosey* Hello dear lady, how are you today?

1:06 am

rbud

yes, I see there's an "enable2K".

1:07 am

flosey

good thanks Sprite, tired now - but to be expected by 11 pm!! and you?

1:08 am

sprite

yeah. Enable is just that. A wordlist, not a dictionary. You can download it if you like and use it like you do morewords. I usually use a2z, I find it more practical. But again, the valid words do not always overlap :)

1:08 am

grannyrose

aaaannnnnndddd goood morning to {{sprite}} and goodeve to {{flosey}} {{rbud}} xoxox

1:08 am

sprite

good to hear you are well, flosey. Yes, tired is a good thing at that time of night :)
I am fine. Slept very well last night, for a chance, so am happy as a clam!

1:09 am

sprite

yesssssss there she is, my bestie! So glad the parcel made it. And great to read you and Don are happy with the contents.

1:09 am

sprite

*hugs rose until she squeaks*

1:12 am

grannyrose

*squeaking *

1:13 am

grannyrose

you all want to hear the funniest thing ever?

1:13 am

sprite

as for the cr biggie... that is odd, its being valid. Usually, for enable, when the word is being used without a capital, it moves from brandname to word. But this one is dubious. Ah well, you know... enable :D

1:14 am

grannyrose

don flicked on the TV earlier today, only no channels found. he has spent all day, changing TV's, changing antenna sockets, even up checking the antenna itself.

1:14 am

sprite

yes, please do tell!

1:15 am

sprite

oh dear, I feel a senior moment coming up...

1:15 am

grannyrose

tonight, he flicked on the TV after clearing up, and there were all the channels showing. i laughed til i cried.

1:15 am

sprite

LOL!

1:16 am

grannyrose

there was nothing wrong with any of our equipment, it was the relay tower,

1:16 am

sprite

hahahaha oh priceless

1:18 am

sprite

are you wearing the squirrel socks?

1:18 am

grannyrose

with the thermometer hovering over 30C? of course i am *not, fingers crossed*

1:19 am

sprite

lol, true, dat. Wearing as little as possible, I should have realised. Glad Don liked the watch. Just a gimmick, but I thought he might like it.

1:20 am

grannyrose

he actually loves it. he hasn't taken it off since he opened the package.

1:20 am

grannyrose

my clever sprite...

1:20 am

sprite

oh wow! *happy*

1:25 am

sprite

I was pretty sure you'd find a use for the stationary. So much fun compiling it for you :) Better than one big stack of one kind, right, to have a few of everything?

1:26 am

grannyrose

absolutely. i can choose according to whom i am writing to. oh, the necklace is sooo cute. i think i might get Don to put it on the same chain as my dolphins and solid gold cross. that way i will wear it all the time.

1:27 am

sprite

oh that would be awesome :)

1:33 am

sprite

and I knew you'd like the pictures... is the frame okay, or too kitchy?

1:33 am

grannyrose

i'm really loving babble at the moment. i am finding even the weirdo's with no problems. still need to consult lickety for the last 10 or so.

1:34 am

grannyrose

the pics were such a glorious delight. and i love the frame. kitch is my second name

1:34 am

sprite

wow rose, you are going strong. Nowadays, I use lickety for the last few too. Am spending a little less time behind the puter, and those last few always take forever without a second letter clue.

1:35 am

sprite

yay! Happy all around, feels great that I made the right choices to make you happy.

1:35 am

grannyrose

not difficult for you, soul sister

1:35 am

rbud

brrrr, just back from letting the dog out, it's a frigid 12 F deg. here, with a couple of inches of fresh snow on top of the 6 or so we got night before last. Dog is getting good at doing hid thing at a record pace.

1:35 am

sprite

:D *happy dance*

1:36 am

rbud

*his*

1:36 am

sprite

hiya rbud! I left some feedback on the enable word list below.

1:37 am

sprite

brrrr, that sounds so cold! We are having a cold spell too here, but no snow so far *keeps fingers crossed it will stay that way* Just frost. Which is kinda nice, cold but clear and a bit of sun.

1:38 am

rbud

oh, I saw it. I guess I still like Jillibus's description of enable best, heehee!

1:39 am

sprite

me too! I put it into the babble idiom list I have in my profile, it is too good not to share.

1:41 am

rbud

darling son has left us raising another pup, she's too little to be out in the cold, really, but I try to put her out in the daytime and stay with her. she has yet to "go" outside, prefers the puppy papers and the catbox, much to the consternation of the cats.

1:41 am

sprite

:D quite a job for you, but lovely

1:41 am

grannyrose

lolll, rbud. i can imagine the looks on the cats' faces

1:41 am

rbud

she watches the big dog thru the window with great interest, and smells all over out there, but still no go.

1:42 am

sprite

you are moving the puppy papers a little closer to the door each day, right?

1:42 am

rbud

she's into everything, really takes a lot of attention.

1:42 am

grannyrose

rbud, are you putting the used puppy papers outside?

1:43 am

rbud

oh, the papers are near all three doors, she likes the one next to the catboxes and the back door best.

1:43 am

rbud

never thought of that, but it's really just a bad time to do anything outside.

1:44 am

rururocks

Puppy papers have crappy articles really

1:45 am

rbud

hasn't been above freezing for more than a day or so for weeks. the big dog starts to get funny about his feet pretty quickly.

1:45 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* and hello to you too ruru

1:45 am

rbud

hahaha, hello, ru!

1:45 am

sprite

lolllll oh ru, that one is great. *hugs* and how are you doing?

1:45 am

rururocks

I am doing ok.

1:46 am

sprite

ok is better than lousy, but not as good as great. I hope you will move to great soon.

1:53 am

grannyrose

ruru?? you moving again ??or thinking of it?? to where ??

1:53 am

grannyrose

sorry, dinner ready. xoxox

1:53 am

rururocks

No. Just buying a second home

1:53 am

sprite

lol silly rose... I meant just moving from ok to great. Enjoy your dinner, darling. *hugs*

1:55 am

flosey

1:56 am

No wonder Champ. The 7 is an obscure, out there word.

Aloyisius

sorry, don't have it yet

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

6:02 am

Aloyisius

Marc, I have fw now... and so the cr7 must be a Lickety addition that does not count.... al7.36 was the 7

6:02 am

Aloyisius

howdy Scrabbler

6:03 am

Marc Freeman

It has to count because it is in the list

6:04 am

Marc Freeman

hello Scrabbler

6:04 am

Aloyisius

Lickety has 105 words on the list; the grid has 104

6:06 am

Marc Freeman

wow

6:10 am

Aloyisius

so, I wouldn't worry about cr7 - have to scoot - have a wonderful Wednesday ! poof

6:18 am

Scrabbler

44 left for later. The office beckons me. ENjoy the day.

6:25 am

Marc Freeman

la5, please?

6:43 am

MollyL

l + double vowel + first two of white grain eaten with Chinese food

6:44 am

MollyL

Monetary unit of the Maldives, one of those ultra nerdy Enable words

6:58 am

ChampFit

Morning all. Thx for the L. One day I'll see it on the first pass! Goals. ;)

7:04 am

MollyL

Someday, someone will hand you 100th of a rupee and you will say "Ooo, a la5!!" : D

7:05 am

ChampFit

Yes I will!!!

7:09 am

ChampFit

Looking back in the chog...stats for the 7 please?

7:10 am

MollyL

al7/36

7:11 am

ChampFit

I only have one from that A anyway. Let's see what I can monkey...

7:11 am

MollyL

And by the way, Lickety has an extra word today, cr7

7:11 am

ChampFit

Thx!

7:12 am

ChampFit

The 7 isn't a plural?

7:13 am

MollyL

al7 is a plural

7:13 am

MollyL

Oh, you mean the plural of cr6

7:14 am

ChampFit

No, I meant the al. Thanks again!

7:14 am

MollyL

Oh my, time for more coffee. There is no cr6

7:15 am

ChampFit

omg...your icon! jYou've been on a tear this week, Molly!

7:15 am

MollyL

I may just be giddy due to an unexpected day off. Snow/sleet/icy roads = Molly doesn't go to work.

7:17 am

ChampFit

Awesome! I try to take Wednesdays off. Didn't work last week. Hope to make some headway on my mailing list. Or not.

7:22 am

MollyL

I don't get Enable. It allows all kinds of alias Scot words that no one but Scots know, and does not allow craic, a perfectly acceptable and well known Irish term.

7:22 am

ChampFit

So many things make no sense to me in Enable. But I'll still whine about it!

7:23 am

bichon

It has lots of Yiddish and Hewbrew words.

7:26 am

ChampFit

Anyone care to clue the al6/7? My monkeys are sleeping apparently.

7:28 am

Jeff7

Hard to clue: sounds like the word that means very old or out of date

7:28 am

MollyL

al + Sacramento state abbreviation + first two of frozen water, plural

7:28 am

ChampFit

I was all around that, but wouldn't have gotten there. Thx!

7:29 am

ChampFit

Great clue, Jeff7! Got if from Molly's, but yours was good.

7:29 am

Jeff7

every little bit helps lol

7:31 am

aebmusica

cr7....clue please

7:31 am

MollyL

There is no cr7. Lickety has an extra word.

7:32 am

aebmusica

tyvm Molly!

7:32 am

Jeff7

That cr7 will be driving everyone crazy today :p

7:33 am

MollyL

It is always a good idea to see if Lickety's total and the grid total match.

7:33 am

aebmusica

croci

7:33 am

MollyL

Yes, it is just about time for those

7:35 am

ChampFit

Oooh...needed that!

7:39 am

MollyL

Thanks to Enable, I now know about rare birds of Bermuda. : S

7:46 am

ChampFit

I should look more of them up. Usually just move one with it.

7:49 am

ChampFit

I moved my laptop about 2 feet away, and found a word! Funny how a different perspective can make them pop out.

7:56 am

JBV

Hi Babblers - can anyone help with the tr 6 - I have one, but lickety says there are 2 - can't get it even with MoreWord! thanks!

7:58 am

BzznBea

7:58 am

JBV

thanks, Bea, Have that one!

7:58 am

JBV

do you have the other?

7:58 am

BzznBea

plural of the tr5

ChampFit

Last 10...feeling stupid...gahhhh!

8:05 am

MollyL

I don't think you need to feel stupid with this grid. Lots of weird, seldom heard of words.

8:06 am

ChampFit

just got the ca5/22. for instance.

8:07 am

MollyL

Speaking of weird words

8:08 am

BzznBea

Yes, that ca5 was my last..

8:08 am

BzznBea

Off I go...bzz...

8:08 am

ChampFit

congrats!

8:16 am

ChampFit

The BEST is when there's no definition for the word...but it counts! co4/11, for instance.

10:06 am

moolingwa

10:07 am

moolingwa

Yeah, I was wondering if there was a cr7

10:07 am

rururocks

10:07 am

10:20 am

moolingwa

I would never mock a croc

10:21 am

rururocks

if you did.. it would o-caiman

10:23 am

cybernan

if foreign languages are allowed, and sieur is acceptable, why not croque as in croque monsieur?

10:24 am

moolingwa

It''s a load of croque if you ask me nan

10:25 am

cybernan

nope - just half a grilled cheese sandwich :-)

10:25 am

cybernan

*with ham and dipped in egg

10:26 am

moolingwa

maybe they think it so obviously a grilled cheese that they don't want to come off being pretentious

10:26 am

moolingwa

ahora should be acceptable too, at least in Miami

10:27 am

rururocks

The french love to Add butter and eggs to everything

10:27 am

rururocks

Miami?

10:27 am

moolingwa

yes, I once asked for directions in Paris, and they gave me them...with butter and eggs

10:27 am

moolingwa

yes, ahora is spanish for now

10:28 am

cybernan

oh yes - they do know how to eat -- even their "fast" food restaurants are gourmet and everything is cooked fresh

10:29 am

rururocks

They know how to make wine. That is for sure

10:29 am

moolingwa

and they call french onion soup....soup d'onion...imagine that?

10:29 am

moolingwa

though to be fair it does not have eggs in it, though you can typically find a hard boiled egg pretty easily

10:29 am

cybernan

only in america is it called that

10:30 am

moolingwa

well, actually we used to call it french onion soup in NZ and OZ too

10:30 am

rururocks

Iâ€™ve had enoeuf of this ðŸ˜œ

10:30 am

moolingwa

not as many french speakers down that way

10:31 am

moolingwa

I wonder if they call it sopa de cebolla in spain

10:31 am

moolingwa

another pun to put in the ol' albumen eh ru?

10:31 am

moolingwa

You know, we haven't had any pun police here lately

10:32 am

rururocks

Yes. It has been lovely

10:33 am

moolingwa

maybe they hibernate when it gets cold

10:34 am

MollyL

Why do the French only have one egg for breakfast? Because one egg is an oeuf. Bah dum ching.

10:34 am

moolingwa

I'm going to try that one out on my wife

10:34 am

cybernan

after 3 weeks I was looking for eggs for breakfast instead of sweet rolls or croissants -- spotted the golden arches and walked in. Imagine our surprise to find the egg McMuffin had become McMorning Sale: An egg fried fresh with a slice of ham served in a croissant. The other choice was McMorning Sucre -- pain au chocolat with coffee or hot chocolate

10:35 am

MollyL

Well, if she is older than 14 she may get a laugh out of it.

10:35 am

moolingwa

I'll check first

why does Lickety

12:27 pm

KnightTime

Tnarg - if you are using the Lickety list - this is an anomaly that he failed to strike from the list

12:28 pm

KnightTime

Lickety uses a program to generate the clues and sometimes the dictionary he uses has words the Babble dictionary does not have

i cannot figure out a way to clue the al 6 and 7 other than to say the 7 is a plural. It is a poetry term having to do with meter

Hi all, back after a long hiatus which included a 5 1/2 week trip to Indonesia for my son's wedding. That's him and his bride in my icon (invisible unless you enlarge it, of course).

4:25 pm

Welcome back sue.

4:25 pm

ty :-)

4:26 pm

And by the way, fireworks.

Hi Sue - congratulations! they both look so happy and beautiful. Hope the required documents are granted quickly and they can be together ASAP

4:26 pm

Welcome back!!

4:26 pm

Fireworks in celebration of Sue's return.

4:26 pm

uusue2

They're telling us it will be about a year :-( so my son may move to Indonesia in the meantime (which I think is perfectly reasonable)

4:27 pm

lynxxx

...and its a lovely place to have extended visits to for you

4:28 pm

uusue2

Exactly. Their long term plan is to settle in Bali, so they will obviously need frequent visits from me :-)

4:29 pm

wht

And you will need to stay a long time so that you are not constantly jet-lagged.

4:29 pm

lynxxx

oh - very very beautiful

4:30 pm

lynxxx

and really only a few hours from Australia

4:30 pm

uusue2

Yes, the jet lag there is really an issue; also the travel time (minimum 24 hours depending on flights and layovers).

4:30 pm

wht

Lynxx are you trying to set up a Babble meet-up on Bali? :^)

4:31 pm

lynxxx

my arm could be twisted very easily

4:32 pm

uusue2

Well, I'll let you know when my next trip is - probably not for 6-8 months

4:33 pm

Do that

4:33 pm

anyway, I am off now for a bit, talk to you all soon!
