This puzzle sucks and blows...

12:28 am

fnurt

I have a C7/36 and a whole 3 6's.

12:30 am

boatierra

A C 7 for 36?!? Showoff ;)

12:32 am

boatierra

Fennel...so close...

12:35 am

boatierra

I got an i7/40!!! Unbelievable :)

12:40 am

fnurt

I have 35 words so far. I will be shocked if there are more than 50.

12:43 am

boatierra

I've got 18 so far. I found your c7/36. My i7/40 is part of a 6/7 combo. i6/27.

12:52 am

dicktrickle

damn...why can't you spell it enfantile?

12:56 am

boatierra

Try using a different starting letter. I thought the exact same thing.

12:57 am

dicktrickle

yeah, i got the six and seven off of that one...i wanted a nine

12:58 am

boatierra

Let me rephrase that...enfantile, spelled with a different starting letter, does not work in this puzzle. But there are two related words :)

12:59 am

boatierra

Ya, I was totally stoked to find that 6/7 combo. My babble skills have most improved :)

1:02 am

dicktrickle

okay...i have 32 words and i'm going to bed...GO SOX!!!

1:06 am

boatierra

Ugh. 19 for 241. 'Nites.

2:30 am

sprite

omg, what a lot of double letters... Against my better judgement I start to play! Can't be many words in this grid, but perhaps some nasty ones...

2:49 am

sprite

Keep trying to use that X, but I think it is there just to distract us... ;-)

3:03 am

sprite

44 words 545 points so far - now I kick myself back to work for a couple of hours. *lol*
Only 2 7's and 7 6's, nothing bigger. And nothing new or too obscure. Back later...

4:39 am

shortseer

babble-lite stats

4 ... 25

5:03 am

Kukana

44 for 548... haven't used the X, nor the M or the R.

5:04 am

Kukana

Oh, and thanks for the stats, shortseer. Saves a lot of time looking in the wrong places!

5:14 am

sprite

Thanks, shortseer, for the stats. Really great you take the time doing it for us!

5:17 am

sprite

With the help of the stats I am done.
47 words 4.70 575 points, if the lite stats are complete. Can't imagine why they shouldn't be in this grid.

I can quote Kukana: nothing with X, M or R. No surprising words.

6:02 am

Kukana

OK, same for me now 47 words, 4.70, 575 so I guess that's the lot for today. Actually I quite liked that one. I find the huge ones overwhelming and they take far too long!

6:41 am

Robbo

I may go seriously bad after this but I just came in and the first word I saw was C7/36. So far, so good!

11:08 am

granadan

I cant find the last A or three of the Es. Or four of the Hs. Ot 2 Ts.

Heck - Im crap today

11:11 am

inaniloquent

WE're stuck on the same letters, except I have all the A's and you have all the F's, so we can help each other with those!
AN5, AN4, AN4 for you.
What am I missing?
FA5, FE4, FL5, FL6, FL4, FL5

11:12 am

dicktrickle

You're missing an FE6

11:12 am

Michelle

Fe6

11:16 am

inaniloquent

11:18 am

granadan

Yes, think of our furry friends

11:20 am

inaniloquent

Just gotit! duh, was sitting here with my trusty FE6 and she didn't offer even a hint! I'm off to work, will be back to find those last four words later :)

11:25 am

11:33 am

Michelle

You need ti4 and li4

11:40 am

Michelle

granadan, you need el4, another el5, et5

12:00 pm

Atalante

I think that should be ET4??

12:04 pm

periwinkle

granadan, try adding an e to the end of your i word.

12:05 pm

Atalante

done :) woohoo!

12:11 pm

sprite

The other H is an Ha6.
There is another Li4 (total 4)
and another Ni5 (total 2).
Also another Ti4 (total 4).
The E's go:
EL4
EL5 x2
En6
Et4

12:16 pm

fnurt

How many points is that EN6?

12:18 pm

Atalante

EN6 = 27

12:23 pm

dicktrickle

HA6? Is it a real word or one of those Babble words?

12:26 pm

sprite

Absolutely one of those babble words. Sounds like something to hold, but takes a T in stead of a D. Worth 27 points.

12:27 pm

sprite

The En6 is NO babble word. ;-)
They even made a movie of it, once.

12:29 pm

dicktrickle

great clue, thanks....one word to go...stupid N

12:31 pm

sprite

Which N do you need?

12:33 pm

dicktrickle

I have NE4 + NE5 and NI4 + NI5

12:34 pm

sprite

I think you miss the Ni5 that is an archaic term for radon.

12:35 pm

sprite

Worth 10 points.

12:36 pm

dicktrickle

yep...that'd be it....thanks a bunch, sweetheart

Hello

1:58 pm

granadan

hello

2:12 pm

jlm_mi

Man, I'm sitting here with my FE 6 on my lap and could not for the life of me find it, even with the furry friends clue. I couldn't get ferret out of my head, even though there's no way to make it in this grid!

2:18 pm

sprite

Fe6: belonging to the family of catlike creatures, such as lions, tigers and my tabby.

2:35 pm

Treble99

any clues for the EN6

2:37 pm

Treble99

Sorry that should be LI 6, have the one which is extended from the 4/4.

2:51 pm

Treble99

Found it, just need the HA/6 which I've been looking for, for ages!

2:53 pm

runningforhome

I don't play for four days and somehow my ranking has moved up one... strange thing, Babble. :p

3:56 pm

runningforhome

One hour... I think that's the fastest I've ever finished a puzzle. Thanks for all the previous clues, everyone.
47/4.70/575

4:54 pm

Treble99

any clues for the HA6 please

7:11 pm

boatierra

Treble99 - The HA6 does not have a definition, but its worth 27 points and ends in a vowel. Hope that helps.

9:27 pm

shortseer

H6 ... curious word
The only meaning i can find is non-english.
In the sotho (african) language it means "well".
"Tsamaya h6!" = "Go well!"

10:14 pm

gwenniebenny
