rbud

10:57 pm

rbud

Chinese food, lol

11:18 pm

KIMMYDEE

Just curious - did anyone know what a pinole was before the word was used in this puzzle?

11:19 pm

KIMMYDEE

That might have sounded rude - but I am honestly asking.

11:19 pm

KIMMYDEE

I didn't know what that word was

11:23 pm

Gillie

Enable (the dictionary) has a lot of words that are highly specialized, local, or archaic, not to mention a few that are questionable. But that's the game.

11:26 pm

Gillie

I fyou want to build your vocabulary in a useful way, you are much better off just reading.

11:27 pm

KIMMYDEE

Um - ok - thanks?

11:28 pm

rururocks

A pinole is the biggest jerk in an etwee

11:30 pm

rururocks

That is a hall of fame babblet joke right there

11:31 pm

Gillie

I think you would find that the people who do best at this have mostly made a lifelong habit of reading a lot, although some of them undoubtedly just have phenomenal memory skills. (I'm not one of them, by the way, although I did read a lot as a kid.)

11:36 pm

KIMMYDEE

I've never come across the word "pinole" in any of the books or news articles that I've read.

11:37 pm

KIMMYDEE

Sad for me I guess. I suppose the sheep person probably thinks that all I've read in my life is "Go Dog Go!"

11:38 pm

Gillie

Well, if your reading interests covered the right areas, you might know it, but nobody can possibly have encountered every word in the language in their regular reading.

11:39 pm

KIMMYDEE

Thank you for acknowledging that Gillie.

11:40 pm

Gillie

If you read a lot, and especially if you know multiple languages and take an interest in etymology, you become better at guessing at possible words, which helps a lot.

11:42 pm

KIMMYDEE

I HATE guessing words. Either I know them, or I don't. Obscure words that I cannot use or will never be able to use in day to day life frustrate me.

11:44 pm

Gillie

Well, you can play this game to find the words you know, but if you want to find all the words, it will be frustrating for you.

11:45 pm

KIMMYDEE

I find these strange and new words in the puzzles interesting. Unfortunately, I cannot use most of them and that makes it seem not worth my while.

11:48 pm

KIMMYDEE

You said my piece for me Gille - that is exactly why it is frustrating for me. However, my question to the other "Babblers" was if they honestly know the majority of these obscure words and weren't just guessing them based on the clues provided.

11:51 pm

rururocks

Sheep person?

11:51 pm

rururocks

Are you trying to get my goat?

No harm done.
