12:02 am

juniperberet

12:02 am

mkg

and for a sunday????????really??????????

12:02 am

hurshy

the one minute grid

12:02 am

SueMagee

Fireworks in one minute. Not fair.

12:02 am

gapeach

Has anyone contacted the powers that be?

12:02 am

hurshy

i spoke to doc about small grids once. i said can't we have a setting that rejects it and makes a new one if it's under x amount of words? and he said the grids is already set for the next five years.

12:03 am

mkg

like it: the one minute grid.

12:03 am

cg530

I think it may be the second time in over ten years I ever finished a grid

12:03 am

mkg

took me 3 min due to chatting...........even so, wow.

12:03 am

hurshy

well that seems silly because just unset them and then it will generate new ones, it is a computer. but doc seemed pretty... um... indifferent.

12:03 am

mkg

i mean why not have all cons????????lets get a 0 word grid for next weekend.

12:04 am

isles7

now to find something else to do for the next 23 hours & 59 minutes

12:05 am

12:09 am

hurshy

crayola, see my comments below

12:10 am

Interesting, thanks hurshy.

12:11 am

12:12 am

Rainiqui

12:12 am

lynxxx

12:13 am

Rainiqui

yes, i never use clues

12:13 am

rastapopolous

ok, off to bed then

12:14 am

hurshy

no, no, with all this extra time, together, we can surely work out a solution for peace in the middle east

12:15 am

Rainiqui

oh, I forgot to say nbt, nbs, LOL

12:16 am

hurshy

only takes one word for nbs today

12:16 am

Rainiqui

I don't even know what they stand for or how one accomplishes them

12:17 am

Uneaixoise

Well.....fw.....gnite..... good grief

12:17 am

KnightTime

wow - just logged in - is this the smallest puzzle ever?

12:17 am

hurshy

no blank tiles means you have found a word starting from each tile (each tile that has any words, that is)

12:17 am

hurshy

nbt

12:18 am

Uneaixoise

Yup

12:18 am

hurshy

and nbs means no blank stats, so that you have found one word of each length that exists that day

12:18 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:18 am

hurshy

too late

12:18 am

Rainiqui

12:29 am

JudyHall

Thanks, hurshy, for the definitions of nbt and nbs ! For the life of me, I couldn't remember what they meant (though I know Kate told me long long ago) ...

12:37 am

hurshy

np

12:39 am

ursh

good grief - I spent time looking for bigger words and only then looked at the stats - all 4 letter :))

12:39 am

MPittore

Fireworks....kinda anti-climatic

12:40 am

hurshy

it makes me have a perverse desire to stay on babble for the entire 24 hours as a display of stubbornness

12:42 am

hurshy

not a strong enough desire to actually DO it, but...

12:46 am

3:17 am

bonkler

3:44 am

uusue2

Well, that took no time at all. Hardly even any babbles!

3:48 am

uusue2

And by babbles I mean babblets. One of the drawbacks of babbling on my tablet.

4:03 am

mattygroves

Is this a record for a short grid?!

4:05 am

mattygroves

Aaand done. Wow.

4:41 am

There will probably be a record set for the number of people who finished the grid.

4:57 am

Frobert

Even though this was small, still may be my first fw.

4:59 am

Queenruejean

Congrats, Frobert!! If you come into the other room, I may reward you with a kiss... more fireworks! ;)

5:02 am

Moemonster

You people need a life

5:02 am

granadan

Well that's made me happy. Only the second one ever, and I think the last one mustve been 10+ years ago and had 21.

5:02 am

granadan

Well that's made me happy. Only the second one ever, and I think the last one must've been 10+ years ago and had 21.

5:04 am

6:19 am

bichon

What am I going to do today?

6:25 am

MollyL

BIch, I am sure you have plenty of other enjoyable things to do. : )

6:34 am

ChampFit

DANG it!

6:36 am

worzel

Bugger me - fireworks in 30 seconds!

6:37 am

Seriously. Glad I was her to see it, even though I'm bummed at the size. Have a lovely day, all!

6:40 am

jwr

is this the smallest ever grid?

6:40 am

MollyL

Yes, the last smallest was 24

6:40 am

MollyL

Sorry, 25

6:41 am

jwr

we should be honored to be present at a FIRST!

6:52 am

Alleyn58

Need more on the weekend!!!

6:53 am

Sam Snead

I don't like a large grid, never have the time to finish one of those. But this is ridiculous!

6:54 am

jwr

Be careful what you wish for Sam!

6:54 am

Sam Snead

I guess..

6:57 am

jwr

Don't worry. It's not likely to happen again (she said, as an all-consonant grid came up tomorrow). Really, though, I've been babble-ing for 11 years and this is one big/little surprise

6:58 am

dan2bit

booooooooooooo Father's Day grid

6:58 am

MollyL

Oh and I thought you would be a fan, 2Bit since you like those small, attainable goals. : D

6:59 am

MollyL

And Happy Father's Day. I hope your women treat you well.

7:00 am

dan2bit

what's the point of negotiating uninterrupted babble time for 10 4 letter words?!? :-)

7:01 am

Sugrraleona

10 words? LOL

7:01 am

dan2bit

7:02 am

Sugrraleona

fireworks - LOL - took less than a minute

7:23 am

Inge2

heehee, should be April Fools!

7:26 am

MollyL

Challenge; Make as many words as you can with letters in the grid, but not necessarily letters that connect.

7:37 am

Buggie

oooh I'm feeling intelligent today! I found one of the longest words straight away!

7:39 am

car.eeyore

What...the...hell is this?!?!?!? It's Sunday!!!!!!

Too small for our liking, but actually perfect! We have family from overseas arriving today and now we won't have to be rude finishing a big grid!

8:26 am

godthaab

We need the Babble Shirt with the 744 on front, and this on the back! I heard some shirts were printed. Where can I get one?

8:27 am

MollyL

I don't think any shirts were ever printed, It was just talked about a lot.

8:27 am

godthaab

Ah.....

8:28 am

aslindy

that would be awesome though, godthaab

8:38 am

zabeth

So I deactivated my Facebook yesterday so I can meet a dissertation deadline... Thought I'd cheat by playing Babble. This seems like a message from the universe that I'd better get back to writing.

8:46 am

Shirlockc

only 10? really? wow

8:47 am

Shirlockc

i have a tea today and thought i wouldn't have time to finish

8:51 am

Shirlockc

i feel cheated, we should have limits to grid size!

8:56 am

swmbo

8:57 am

I don't know how long these images will work, but if anyone wants to copy them and go to a make your own t-shirt site, have a ball.

clg47

I'm camping with little or no wifi. Thought I would check in before the day became busy to see if I would have time to finish. Fireworks before my 2nd sip of coffee. 1001 points.

10:13 am

MollyL

Wow, and all the rest of us only got 51 points

11:16 am

clg47

51 towards the 'Village Elders' ranking. The puzzle is weighted the same as the 500 word puzzle towards the who's hot and crÃ¨me de le crop. It's a goal to get the fireworks 1 point.

11:22 am

rururocks

I guess we're having one minute puzzles now

11:27 am

MollyL

I'm wondering what happens when Dr. God pulls an all consonant, zero word grid out of the bag. Will he post it?

12:47 pm

Judi

Just curious. Is this the smallest grid ever?

12:47 pm

jmcnrick

hope there are 300 words for you tomorrow

12:47 pm

Judi

All four letter words no less. I know I thought of several four letter words when I first saw it.

12:48 pm

Judi

Off I go. See y'all tomorrow.

12:49 pm

jmcnrick

I looked at lickety because I thught he said but this is surely among teh smallest

12:49 pm

jmcnrick

bye Judi and bye all

12:55 pm

MollyL

This is the smallest. The last smallest was 25

1:01 pm

rururocks

who's going to be around to clue mkg?

1:11 pm

MollyL

Don't faint, but mkg finished at the flip

1:12 pm

rururocks

wow

1:12 pm

MollyL

I was betting that this would be the only day that people didn't ask for clues, but I was wrong.

1:12 pm

rururocks

I knew better than that :D

1:13 pm

MollyL

Apparently, you can never put the spoon away

1:15 pm

rururocks

not me.. I don't clue fours

1:23 pm

MollyL

Then there was the person who put five (half) of the words in the chat

1:40 pm

rururocks

oh.. that'd be a good start for everyone then

1:40 pm

rururocks

:D

1:43 pm

sarcasticah

Ten words!

1:43 pm

sarcasticah

I just logged in and thought it didn't load right!

2:08 pm

MollyL

That is what I thought the day there was the 744 word grid. I refreshed because I was sure something was wrong.

2:51 pm

Trifioso

well this grid was just silly

2:52 pm

Jeff7

Fastest grid I ever did! Yay. Time for a celebratory bottle of wine!!!!

2:54 pm

Nef

Good Plan, Jeff. Fireworks & wine.

3:08 pm

MollyL

Comments about today's grid...

3:09 pm

MollyL

whoa, bummer, joke, one minute, not fair, silly, hells bells

3:09 pm

MollyL

seriously, strange, smallest, WTF?, a letdown, record, too small

3:10 pm

MollyL

And for those of you who "want your money back", Dr. God has not been charging for this for some time. So technically, we should all get our money back.

4:33 pm

THE.MRS

Well this is an interesting grid.

4:36 pm

THE.MRS

done.

4:41 pm

THE.MRS

I like the small grids, easier to finish, like the <100 words ones, but this is unusual. kinda like it though.

5:17 pm

rururocks

I like them about 200-250.. not the huge 400 grids

5:25 pm

MollyL

I'm wondering how many people will be drooling in Babble withdrawal at the flip.
: D

5:39 pm

rururocks

you mean like onanism?

5:43 pm

MollyL

Exactly. Only in Babble chat it would be Lurkus-Interruptus
