9:05 am

hokie carla

thx for that dan

9:06 am

hokie carla

now it won't be my last word!

9:06 am

MLFAN17

i am trying to figure that oen out right now

9:06 am

hokie carla

37 left but stuck. going to the list!

9:07 am

MLFAN17

extra vowel in the middle?

9:11 am

dan2bit

yes MLF

9:15 am

mattygroves

Not entirely silent - vaguely aspirated, much like 'herb' is pronounced, with a gentle H, rather than a silent one

9:15 am

mattygroves

Can anyone give me a gentle guide to the st8? I have 17 words left and have come to a standstill...

9:16 am

hokie carla

interesting. I thought you all said the h in herb like a regular h. I will have to listen for the difference now.

9:16 am

mattygroves

Well, I hear it as a gentle H. :) But remember, I'm American by birth and upbringing (I came over he4 in 1988)

9:16 am

hokie carla

I am currently stuck on all those st7s & 8. well, I have the 1st 7 in that group, but can't get the rest

9:16 am

LuvWordGames

it's a plural. There's 3 st 7/28 words that only differ by the last letter. The last one is plural

9:17 am

mattygroves

Now that you mention it, I guess it does have a real H.

9:17 am

hokie carla

I am trying every combo I can based on the points for those 3 st7s and can't find them.

9:18 am

mattygroves

I have 2 st7s, which are utterly different from each other; one is a comparative and the other is a plural

9:18 am

hokie carla

luv, I'm assuming the 3 are from the middle row s?

9:19 am

LuvWordGames

yes I believe so

9:19 am

LuvWordGames

they all contain 3 t's

9:19 am

LuvWordGames

they all end in a different vowel

9:19 am

hokie carla

got one, thx! I'm sure the rest will come

9:20 am

LuvWordGames

WTG!

9:20 am

mattygroves

I have roads and more rocky. What am I missing?

9:20 am

LuvWordGames

look at the clues below

9:20 am

Kallia

9:26 am

mattygroves

Ta!

9:26 am

hokie carla

I got the tr5 that was also in yesterday's but didn't think to look for the related tr6 that was also in yesterday's? hard eye roll

9:27 am

hokie carla

cybernan

10:31 am

MollyL

The stony word is not one of the musical terms

10:32 am
