8:41 am

sprite

online is no word?

8:44 am

jlm_mi

It was a word even before the internet happened. Don't know what's up with that enable lexicon!

8:49 am

sprite

I was so glad I found it, can't find that 5th O at all... and then it isn't valid! ;-)

8:50 am

jlm_mi

I'm stuck at 4 Os too. I assume we have the same ones - 5,5,6,6 all with the same second letter?

8:51 am

jlm_mi

I just found it. It's a 5 and the one I was missing is related to the second 6.

8:51 am

sprite

Exactly. Tried everything I could think of, and even some things that are absurd.

8:52 am

sprite

Same second letter as well?

8:52 am

sprite

Never mind, found it... should have thought of that before.

9:35 am

fit1

Did I understand you to say that all the o's have the same second letter?

9:36 am

jlm_mi

Yes.

10:03 am

Atalante

argh I keep wanting to make cerulean

10:04 am

jlm_mi

It's recount for me. :-D

10:06 am

sprite

For me culinair.

10:40 am

jlm_mi

I can't believe I've just now gotten 100 words! I've got all the Os (but that's the only complete letter for me) and all the big words that have so far been mentioned came easily, but I'm nearly stumped now! This seems like a tough puzzle for me at least. :)

10:41 am

sprite

I need 4 more words, so I could help with some letters now.
I must complete E, F and R.

10:43 am

sprite

V7/40 is the forth 7, by the way.

10:45 am

jlm_mi

Hmm - let's go randomly with A, J, P and V. :)

AE, ALx2, ANx2

JE

P - all are PE - 4x4, 1x5, 1x7

V - all are VE - 1x4, 4x5, 1x6

10:46 am

jlm_mi

OK, and 1x7 for the VEs as well. Thanks!

10:48 am

10:59 am

11:43 am

jlm_mi

EA, ER, EU

iL, iNx3 (5,6,7)

11:49 am

11:52 am

sprite

Sorry, forget the Er4, you already had that. I can babble, but it seems I cannot read!

11:54 am

jlm_mi

I should have already had that EL4! Thanks for the hints.

11:58 am

sprite

I am always surprised at myself, how often I overlook common and obvious words. ;-) One of my last words in this grid was the 3rd FL4/7.

12:54 pm

jlm_mi

Seeing as I'm missing 1 6, anyone want to compare them? I won't put definitions as there are too many but I have:

C24
E24
F27x4
H27x2
i18x2
L18
N - 18,36
O24x2
P33
R - 18,18,27,27,27,18,27
U18
V27x2

12:55 pm

sprite

F27 x 3
Two are similar.

12:56 pm

sprite

Never mind that... Fex4, Fix1... =4.

12:57 pm

sprite

You need another H6/27.

1:15 pm

jlm_mi

Thank you so much! I was trying to make that all day (the 3rd H6) but I kept trying to use the wrong E for the second letter. I finally just decided to try it because it HAD to be there, and there it was :)

1:17 pm

sprite

*lol* Need any more hints? I'll be online for another 10 minutes.

1:18 pm

jlm_mi

Nope. I'm missing just one more word. An L4. I'm certain that I can find it quickly! :-D

1:19 pm

sprite

You will! Enjoy your day... bye! :D
