Christine

My resolution was to spend less time on the babble-board (I didn't play, yesterday), so today I would only look... right!!
The words are coming faster than I can write them, much less enter them... who knew there were so many COMMON words, using the Z, much less the techno-words that I don't know.

2:23 am

Atalante

Chorizo really *must* be there somewhere LOL

2:27 am

Mal

Christine, hi are you still here?
Missed you

2:34 am

There are 2!

8:44 am

youngster

So there are :-) Thanx

8:44 am

youngster

Don't see the 64s tho

8:44 am

sprite

So far haven't been able to find the 8... :-(

8:45 am

sprite

Take n for d...

8:46 am

youngster

That worked :-D

9:52 am

sprite

With 20 words to go I am really stuck... haven't found a new word for 20 minutes! How are the others doing?

10:00 am

Treble99

I have been trying to find the 8 for the last hour

10:00 am

berekah

does anyone have a meaning for the 6 z?

10:02 am

4t8

ended last night at 68/1421...just now found the two i's for 68 due to the clues...nothing else. wish arch [existed] connected with the d!

10:02 am

sprite

Actually I do not think there is a z6. I have 4 z's, none is a 6. And if I read the postings right, 4#8 said it started with an i.

10:07 am

4t8

mea culpa...yes it does. (12:03 a.m.)

10:09 am

sprite

I have 12 7's so far.
C 40

S 40

10:11 am

Oops, sorry... I meant 4t8 of course. Can't find words, can't spell names... maybe it is not my day?

10:14 am

4t8

np, sprite. 'sides, it's a weekend. and we'll find more words. :)

10:39 am

stevedallas

r7, sprite for 64

10:45 am

sleeky

I have 4 zs, all there's supposed to be, and there's no 6.

11:07 am

sprite

Any clue for the R7? I even found a new name for SantaClaus's animals, but it isn't a babbleword...

11:24 am

sprite

I think it must use the z... could you please give me a hint?

11:35 am

sprite

Never mind, found it.

11:36 am

Swtbtrcup

the r6 uses the z. look at your z words....

11:40 am

runningforhome

I just found an o/7/64.

12:13 pm

Treble99

Can anyone give a clue for the 8 please

12:14 pm

sprite

Haven't found the 8 yet, sorry...

12:19 pm

sprite

Thnx, runningforhome!
Now 14 more words... one more 7, and the 8 of course.

12:26 pm

Treble99

Does the 8 start with a D

12:43 pm

runningforhome

I wish I'd stop seeing coedine...

I need help with the last A and Z, if anyone can. I have:
a/5/16
z/4/13
z/4/13
z/5/28

12:47 pm

sprite

You need an a5/12 and another z4/13.

12:54 pm

runningforhome

Thank you, sprite.

12:56 pm

sprite

Can someone give me a clue for the 3rd E?
I have a 5/10 - 6/18 combo.

1:10 pm

sprite

There is an M7/40.

1:13 pm

sprite

Found the 3rd E myself.
The 8 has to begin with C, D, I or S.

1:15 pm

Treble99

Still looking for the 8 and I dont have any E words

1:17 pm

Milly

The 8 starts with C and is worth 70.

1:26 pm

Treble99

Could you give a clue please, I have been looking for 2 hours

1:28 pm

sprite

So have I... please Milly?

1:31 pm

sprite

Oh, treble99, the E's:
two are a 5/6 combo, related to a red dye.
The 3rd is a 5/12, an antropological term you find a lot in puzzles.

1:38 pm

Treble99

Thank you sprite you are very helpful

2:11 pm

sprite

No one with a clue for the C8? I am down to 119 words and I would love to finish... or at least find that elusive 8!

2:13 pm

youngster

Can't find the C8. Started off so well this morning, but can hardly find anything tonight! Even with the clues!!!

2:14 pm

sprite

If it wasn't for my pitbull mentality I would have stopped long ago... ;-)
Could do with some clues, really!

2:18 pm

youngster

Is the a5/12 before or after the
a/5/16?

2:20 pm

sprite

After. Think of herbs.

2:25 pm

Milly

Sorry - went to take a shower! The C8 starts with the C in the top row and is something to do with a nervous disorder. It isn't a common word at all though.

2:27 pm

youngster

Got it thanks. All that time for 12 points! This is torture. I've completed the 'a's and 'z's, but lucky to have 1/2 the words for each other letter! And still no 'e's.

2:29 pm

youngster

Thanks Milly. got the C8 :-)

2:32 pm

sprite

Milly, thanks a million! Got it now, finally!

2:33 pm

sprite

Ei 5/12
Eo 5/10
Eo 6/18

2:34 pm

youngster

Can anyone tell me which 'i's I'm missing please? I have: 6/21, 7/32, 6/21, 6/48 , 7/68, 7/68, 6/18, 7/64, 7/64

2:34 pm

sprite

Anyone who wants to compare C's, D's, I's or S's?

2:35 pm

youngster

Thanks sprite, that should help (I hope)

2:36 pm

sprite

You are missing a 5/12 to start with, and a 6/45 before the 2 64's.

2:38 pm

sprite

And of course *sigh* the one I am missing too...

2:39 pm

youngster

Wish I could help - honest!

2:40 pm

Tolinya

Trying to do the c8....but I can't figure out the second letter...is it the H???

2:41 pm

youngster

Yes, 2nd letter's h. Ha, I helped!!!!

2:41 pm

sprite

Yes, the H.
I googled for "nervous disorder" and found a clue.

2:44 pm

Tolinya

We're trying to figure it out mathmatically...if it's c8 must add up to 70 points which is a 12 x5 per babble stats. Right?

2:45 pm

sprite

14

2:45 pm

youngster

sprite, can't believe I'd missed the i6/45 since I had all the others related! Thanks again

2:47 pm

sprite

I found the Se6/18 only just now... feels about the same, I think! :-D

2:50 pm

youngster

sprite, amazingly, I don't have that one either! :-)

2:51 pm

sprite

Well, it is quite the opposite of your name... ;-)

2:51 pm

Tolinya

ok still looking...sigh

2:53 pm

youngster

Oops, so it is. Couldn't see it, but just tried typing it!

2:53 pm

fit1

Tolinya...which math computes to needing a D in it.

2:54 pm

sprite

Tolinya, do you have the 2nd A? It has the same ending.

2:57 pm

Tolinya

Right got the d factor...don't have the second a...tried it with my a and it didn't like it...my a is similar to a golfing term lol

2:57 pm

youngster

Is the first 'i' word (5/12) a common word?

2:59 pm

youngster

Tolinya, the 3rd letter isn't on the top line!

3:00 pm

sprite

Very, youngster. Look at your first 6/21 and you'll know.

3:01 pm

youngster

sprite, thanks. I shouldn't be allowed to try this on my own! Useless!!!

3:03 pm

sprite

*lol*
I feel so very stupid right now, you know... there are 3 more S's and 3 more C's and I cannot find even one!
Probably also very common words...

3:03 pm

Tolinya

still trucking lol thanks for helping!

3:07 pm

youngster

sprite, I only have 14 C's and 8 S's, and I doubt any of them are ones you don't have. But I'll post the ones I have just in the off chance :-)))) Give me a minute.

3:09 pm

sprite

I'd really appreciate that! Who knows, we might find more by putting our lists together...

3:09 pm

periwinkle

There is an f/7/44.

3:09 pm

youngster

4 9, 5 20, 5 20, 8 70, 4 8, 4 6, 5 24, 6 27, 6 27, 4 6, 4 6, 5 14, 6 24

3:10 pm

youngster

3:11 pm

Would be glad for any addition to the lists, anyone.

3:19 pm

sprite

Tolinya, the 2nd A has to do with perennial herbs.

3:21 pm

youngster

sprite, somehow I think it was only me who benefitted there! :-)

3:25 pm

sprite

Unless we have some values the same, but for different words... :-)

3:27 pm

youngster

Ok, just to be sure, you email me your entire list and I'll check for you!!!!

3:28 pm

sprite

This is such a weird puzzle. I need 7 more words. Two of them are 7's! The wordlength average is over 5.0.
And I simply cannot find one more word. Think I get in for the night and get up early - see if someone left some brilliant clues. Good hunting to you all! And thanks for the fun.

3:29 pm

sprite

Youngster - *roflol!*

3:32 pm

youngster

sprite, that was worth 27 points, but it's not in the puzzle! :-) G'nite!

3:34 pm

youngster

Tolinya, any further yet?

3:41 pm

MammaJill

I have another s6 for 45

3:43 pm

youngster

MammaJill, can you say where does it come in sprite's list please?

3:45 pm

MammaJill

3:48 pm

youngster

Thanks MammaJill, got it.

3:55 pm

youngster

MammaJill, Do you know if the last S6/45 is related to the S5/28 immediately before it?

4:00 pm

Treble99

i cant find the CH8

4:04 pm

periwinkle

Treble99, I can't find it either. The only neuroligical diseases I know of that start with C are Charcot Marie and Chorea and neither fit here.

4:05 pm

Treble99

I think I'll give up on that one

4:06 pm

periwinkle

Me too :)

4:09 pm

youngster

The C8 begins with the C5/20

4:13 pm

Treble99

Thank you youngster got it at last

4:13 pm

periwinkle

I have two c/5/20

4:14 pm

periwinkle

Does the c/8 have the Z in it by any chance. I have no clue what word I am looking for.

4:15 pm

youngster

No 'z' !

4:16 pm

periwinkle

Would someone please tell me what the c/8 ends with?

4:16 pm

Treble99

No it begins with the Ch to do a minor task

4:16 pm

youngster

periwinkle, Use your 2nd 5/20 word

4:18 pm

periwinkle

youngster, I am trying but I am getting a headache. :)

4:19 pm

Treble99

periwinkle try oid on the end

4:25 pm

periwinkle

Treble99, THANK YOU, Never would have found the C8 without your help. Youngster, Thank you too. I found a c/7/52 in the process.

4:25 pm

periwinkle

My headache is suddenly gone :).

4:26 pm

youngster

periwinkle, according to Milly, you should be getting a nervous disorder! :-)

4:27 pm

youngster

Any clues for the C7?

4:28 pm

youngster

Never mind...got it :-)

4:28 pm

periwinkle

Who is this Milly? Tell her I don't want one.

4:29 pm

youngster

Milly gave the clue at 02:25 pm :-)

4:34 pm

youngster

I still have no 'e's

4:35 pm

youngster

periwinkle, any clues for your F7/44?

5:06 pm

sleeky

F7 44 - a particular kind of snob.

5:14 pm

youngster

Nah, that didn't really help much. But thanks. I've been stuck on a 'c' 5/16 word for ages.

5:17 pm

marigold

The clue for F/7/44 is a person who has a refine interest in food

5:19 pm

Tolinya

sorry back...baby needed to be fed...

5:19 pm

youngster

Tolinya, sort out your priorities please :-)

5:20 pm

Tolinya

Got it thanks for the hints everyone..what a wierd word.

5:21 pm

youngster

Tolinya, Did you get the C7/52 ?

5:22 pm

Tolinya

I tried to do that once before and someone called CPS...they weren't happy with the leave food and water in the crib while I went shopping....I still don't get it.

LOL NOT

5:23 pm

Tolinya

what another challenge? UG...starting my search now...I've got 4/4/5/8/6/6 so far

5:24 pm

youngster

D'you want a really big hint?

5:24 pm

Tolinya

probably like take the last 2 letters off or something right?

5:25 pm

Tolinya

Got it neener neener...lol

5:25 pm

youngster

Nearly, but only one in the middle :-)

5:26 pm

youngster

Yay!

5:26 pm

Tolinya

Alas my babble allotment is done with..I must go shopping. Fare thee well...I will check back tonight when the babble gods provide us with another days worth of amusement.

POOF

5:27 pm

Tolinya

thx for the hints again..hehe

5:27 pm

youngster

marigold does F/7/44 contain that word, or is that too obvious?

5:28 pm

youngster

11.30pm here - too late to go shopping!

5:39 pm

youngster

Sprite, if you're back on... lose the e from the biggie for a 7/52, and you're missing a c4/9 before the 2 4/6s. :-)

5:40 pm

periwinkle

marigold, are you here? Did you get the c/7/52 and the c/8/70?

5:44 pm

youngster

Can anyone give me any really obvious clues for either the F7/44 or the C 5/16 before I go to bed? Pleeze :-)

5:46 pm

periwinkle

youngster, the f/7/44 builds on an f/4/8 which is something you eat at least three times a day.

5:50 pm

youngster

periwinkle, think I've tried every combination using that beginning, but obviously not or I'd have found it! I'll keep trying. thanx

5:51 pm

periwinkle

marigold, you have mail.

5:52 pm

youngster

periwinkle, Found it thanks!

6:28 pm

youngster

Had fun tonight, but going to bed. Thanks for all the help. Eventually got that last 'c', and all the 'e' :-) Night.

7:12 pm

fit1

Still struggling with the 2 big c"s. Any help?

8:20 pm

fit1

c/7/52 is some kind of body part. That doesn't fit Milly's clue

10:42 pm

sprite

youngster, I am back on and very grateful for your clues! Found every one of them... now I am only 4 words short. Don't think I'll find them all, but I will try...
No use hiding the fact I'm an addict now - what fool gets up an hour early to play babble???

10:43 pm

sprite

Is there someone babbling who could help me with the last I?

10:47 pm

fnurt

I am also missing an I but I will try in case we are missing different ones. I also need D's and H's if you are able to help with those.

Good! That might explain my blindness... ;-)

11:04 pm

fnurt

Thanks for your help, I have all the D and H words now. You are missing a D 6/48 that is right next to the D 6/48 in the middle.

11:06 pm

sprite

Thanks, found the D!
But still cannot find that I! Is it a common word?

11:11 pm

fnurt

No, but if it started with a different vowel, it would be so common it would make you cry.

11:13 pm

fnurt

I have an F7, an O7, and an S7 - but I think one of those letters has another 7! Can you help me with that?

11:13 pm

sprite

*lol* Thanks, that did it!
How are you doing?
I need 2 more, one C and 1 S.

11:15 pm

sprite

I think I've got the same, but I also think I have all the 7's. Give me a sec to count!

11:17 pm

11:36 pm

fnurt

What luck! The 7/40 looks almost exactly like the other 7/40.

127/5.11/2864

11:37 pm

runningforhome

I just don't have the patience to finish off this puzzle today (plus there's homework I ought to be doing)... so looks like I'll be sticking at 101/5.14/2382.

11:40 pm

sprite

Fnurt, you are really great. Now I know what to look for... almost the same, you said...

11:42 pm
