S7/44

12:12 am

cjustine

looks like somebody did just that on this grid

12:31 am

kcbabble

There is another S7/44

12:35 am

4t8

d8/45

12:36 am

4t8

with a similar 7/32

12:37 am

cjustine

anyone else have soooo many fours and not that much else?

12:39 am

sprite

*lol!*
Just found the D7, but not the faintest idea how to turn that into a similar D8. And I have one 6. The rest is fours.

12:40 am

cjustine

any wee clues on those (or one?) : )

12:41 am

4t8

and just why won't detoxers work? :(

12:42 am

sprite

My D7: roundabout ways

12:42 am

cjustine

i have two 7's and a few 6's... not much else

12:43 am

sprite

Is this an S6/36 grid or am I just having a S6/36 day?

12:43 am

kcbabble

d7/32 clue is to reroute (pl) ... no idea about the D8 too :(

12:44 am

kcbabble

*LOL* -- I think it is the grid, sprite!

12:45 am

sprite

Good! Thanks for the reassurance... now I can face the day with confidence. ;-D

12:46 am

sprite

Ah Krys10 - you're the best! Thanks!

12:47 am

4t8

r8/55

12:50 am

sprite

Right, found it, cjustine! The roundabout ways-D7 is not the same as the D7-D8 combo. It does not take the same 2nd letter. Think superlatives.

12:51 am

Krys10

Once again, most welcome. I'm retreating to bed with a printout - y'all come up with some good clues for me while I slumber! ;)

12:52 am

sprite

You are doing this the right way, Krys10! I'll emigrate and take your example. ;-)

12:54 am

kcbabble

found the r8 but not sure what it means...

12:56 am

4t8

i wondered if it was babble welfare at first...is in reference to the plants, so to speak.

12:58 am

cjustine

sprite: I can't believe that actually works. and 'detoxers' doesn't!?

12:58 am

kcbabble

still missing a 7, after reading my spam, I thought for sure "hotties" would qualify.

12:59 am

sprite

@ cjustine: yeah, it isn't fair!

1:00 am

cjustine

thanks sprite... still lost on the 7 that goes with it though

1:00 am

cjustine

aha! just found it

1:19 am

cjustine

any help pn the n's? i've got nox5, nox4, nox6

1:23 am

kcbabble

Ns - 5, 4, 5, 4, 5, 4
All NO's (no 6s though)

2:36 am

sprite

H7/52

2:41 am

sprite

85 words / 4.69 / 1111 points

4:46 am

fit1

My guess for a definition for the r8/55 is running around the fastest. The D8/45 is most kookie

7:16 am

Treble99

Ds I have, DO4 x 4, DO/5 x 3, De/5x1, DE/6x1, DE/7x1,DO/8x1 anyone help with missing 2Ds. thanks

There is a DO7. but I'm missing the last one as well

7:45 am

fit1

I was always hoping to be a hotty, or a hottie, and now I find out it doesn't exist :)

7:52 am

Treble99

7:54 am

Found an HO5 so now I am missing one.
I am also missing 1 t and 5 S's. I guess I'm almost there. Sigh

8:55 am

parsec

there is another Hi4.

9:28 am

fit1

Thanks Parsec. It was right before my eyes. So now I'm down to 1 t and 5 s's.

9:30 am

Krys10

Long words:
D8-45 - most crazy
R8-45 - most resembling a certain kind of plant
D7-32 - reroutes
D7-32 - most indulgent (I'm guessing on this one - have not been able to find a definition)
H7-52 - more than warm
S7-44 - see clue at 12:12
S7-44 - weighted or loaded with lead or ammot

9:34 am

Krys10

"ammo", that last word should be.
I have ER4 - what's the other?

9:40 am

fit1

I have se4x1, sh4x3, sh5 x4, sh6x1, sh7x2, su 4x2. What am I missing to finish this grid with my last s's

9:43 am

Michelle

I have si4x2 that you don't have.

9:46 am

parsec

I have a total of Sh6x2.

9:52 am

parsec

9:52 am

fit1

Michelle, you mean there are 4 si 4?

9:53 am

fit1

oh wait, I left out my 2 si 4 in my stats. Sorry Michelle. I an now down to three s's that I'm missing to complete the puzzle

10:03 am

fit1

I found that one too Parsec. The other three are driving me to drink, so I'm having water :)

10:27 am

parsec

Hey fit1, did you ever find your last T? I'm stuck one short, too:

Th4x4, Th5, Ti4x2, Ti5, To4x6, To5x3, To6

10:31 am

fit1

I just checked, Parsec. It's a to5 you are missing

10:32 am

fit1

Parsec, look for plurals of the fours you have :)

10:35 am

parsec

thanks fit1, actually i was missing the past tense. I have trouble seeing when they curl around like that.

10:37 am

fit1

haha Parsec. I was going to correct my last post to read plurals and past, but it was already up there. Sooooo I figgered you'd find it anyway :) Now for the 3 s's. I have 82 words. I wanna finish.

10:40 am

fit1

ooohh wait, I have 83 words. All this time I thought I needed 3. I only need 2

10:40 am

parsec

well, I just found another Sh5 and its plural--the bed of a salt marsh.

10:42 am

parsec

so that's all of them for me. Cool =)

5:30 pm

periwinkle

I found the clue for the H/7. I am pretty sure what the word is but can't seem to make it. Will keep trying.

5:41 pm

Taglos

periwinkle said...May I have a clue for the h/7/52?
Krys10 said... H7-52 - more than warm

but not quite hot

periwinkle said... May I have a clue for the TO/6

If you have a To4 and a couple of To5s that look similar, the To6 is about summed up.

5:45 pm

periwinkle

Taglos, Thanks.

Taglos, I have SH6x2

were they Sh6 36 and 27? if so have that now, 2 more stinking S words.

5:56 pm

periwinkle

taglos, yes, they were the s/6 words.
I am still missing 4 S words.

6:21 pm

periwinkle

The R/8 is 55 points. I was going crazy trying to find an r/8/45.

6:36 pm

Taglos

1 S 6 27 to go, i have an Sh6 27, not sure what the other is.......

7:35 pm

TsHMS

this puzzle is hard

8:36 pm

fit1

Are there two s 6/27? I have one and an sh 6 36. Am I missing another s 27? This is my last letter and then I'm done. HELPPPPPP

8:54 pm

periwinkle

Yes, there are two s/6/27

9:16 pm

Taglos

Possible to snag a hint on the S6 27s? even the second letter would be good.

9:21 pm

fit1

peri, can you give me a hint? What is the second letter? I am desperate. I have two that begin sh.

9:40 pm

fit1

Taglos, it's an sh6. Plural of another sh. Have no idea what it means.

10:12 pm

Taglos

OMG how the heck did I miss that!!! all done, thanks fit1
