testing123

M8/50

2:22 am

testing123

H9/8 combo (84/65) mineral stone

2:24 am

testing123

The H9 is not a plural of the H8, but a different spelling, btw.

2:31 am

testing123

T7/8 combo (28/40) musical interval

5:06 am

StÃ©

A8/9: poison (from a mushroom)

7:54 am

M 6/7 to me it's a man't name and his plural. Must have another meaning

7:59 am

fit1

M 7/8 (36 50) Afternoon theater

8:02 am

fit1

m 6/7 24/36.....Place for boats

8:38 am

Benjake

N7: chemical NO2 (hope that's the only part of the def. that's important...)
:-)

8:47 am

fit1

Ah Benjake, I see those chemical thingies, and I chalk that word off :)

8:48 am

fit1

oooh, I think I got it. By George I got it :)

8:49 am

Benjake

The only reason I got this one is it seems to be one that's common, or else it's mentioned in definitions a lot.
The word sounds similar to a little thing you plug in the wall to help you see in the dark ;-)

8:56 am

fit1

so it does Benjake. If you have a lisp, it is how you'd say it. LOL

9:10 am

Treble99

does anyone know what the 9s start with I have 2 but I think there are 4

9:18 am

StÃ©

I only get one H's and one A's...

9:21 am

Treble99

stats at 12:17 am say there are 4 9's and 6 8's

9:25 am

parsec

BabbleStats:

I don't have time to do the whole thing (Maybe later this afternoon, if nobody else will) But I can say there are actually 185 words total--

4x9,
8x8,
15x7

9:35 am

Benjake

I got another H 8 and 9, very similar to the ones already mentioned, but with a slightly different ending. This one is a singular and plural, and I'd put the definition but I really don't think it would help anyone veyr much.
Just noodling after finding the first ones is probably best :-)

9:38 am

EvaNadine

crikey! there are some 9ers this go-around? id better strap on my smart-cap today...hehe...

fnurt

The 8s I have are as follows:

A/50
H/65
H/65
H/65
M/50
T/40

Can someone supply point values for the missing ones?

3:07 pm

Michelle

t/40 and I am missing the other h, too

3:17 pm

Daisy

the other H is also 65 points.
I am never going to get the second T without a hint. Anyone got one?

3:21 pm

Benjake

I just got it: it's someone who is being taught (don't think school, think work)

Any clues for the H?

3:21 pm

Benjake

sorry...it's more than one someone (the plural is the 8, the singular is a 7)

3:25 pm

Daisy

Do you have the stone? The other three are all variations on the same word. One is plural, two are not.

3:27 pm

Benjake

Thanks...got it now :-)

4:08 pm

Wendrie

I've a sixth Z word.

4:15 pm

periwinkle

Wow, I only have 4 Z words. Zi4x1, zo5x2 and zi4x1. May I have hints for the others please.

4:17 pm

Benjake

I have a zi5 with no comprehendable definition (so not terribly helpful)

I don't have a clue for the 6th though...

4:18 pm

Wendrie

3 zi s - 4/5/4
3 zo s - 4/5/5

the three zos are a combo and the three zi aren't they don't even share the same third letter :)

4:20 pm

periwinkle

Thanks. I'll keep looking.

4:23 pm

metags

found the Zi5 (some kind of pesticide) ..
for the other two Zis, think pasta and an abbrev for a California wine

4:31 pm

periwinkle

Do the two H/9 words start out the same as the other long H words? I have one of the H/9 but not the other.

4:32 pm

periwinkle

Correction. I have 2 H/9 words and need the last one. Does it start out the same as the others?

5:12 pm

fit1

if there are only three h9, they all are related. But the third one inserts another letter in the second position.

5:12 pm

Wendrie

no - the other 9 is in a 7/8/9 combo not sure the 7 is the same def - could be an alternative spelling.

5:20 pm

4t8

it accepts story-book characters??
cool! :D

7:07 pm

periwinkle

which story book character, may I have a hint.

7:34 pm

fixitfmly

periwinkle:
perhaps 4t8 meant the man raised by apes?

7:35 pm

periwinkle

I have one that starts with T.

7:35 pm

periwinkle

fititfamly, we posted at the same time. Yes, that is the one.

7:46 pm

periwinkle

fixitfmly, sorry I messed up your name.

9:48 pm

fit1

I think that storybook character may have been the one I hinted at 8:30am. If so, I was surprised to see that one too.

11:23 pm

onyx

so many words so little time.....
