12:51 am

sprite

A nice 7/36! And now for a break...

12:53 am

sprite

And 8/50

12:55 am

shortseer

heh ... it took me a few minutes to realise your 12:51 am post was a clue sprite

12:56 am

sprite

Another 7/36
No s, no d, no -ing... can't be much words, this grid. Not even 200, I'd say.

12:56 am

sprite

Hi shortseer! I thought I betrayed myself nicely by continuing to play ;-)

12:58 am

sprite

7/44 and 7/36, both Ps.

Great, shortseer. So much more fun to play with stats. I found this very peculiar N7/36! Entered it just for fun. I thought: if that N6/18 is a word, so is this... and it was!
Think of one of the most commercial drinks and then make it a negative.

1:08 am

shortseer

thanks ... it was very easy to get with your clue

1:10 am

sprite

Strange word, isn't it?
Bet we will not use the X today either... yesterday's was in there for nothing as well. Looks so promising, with -mix and -tix, but I don't seem to be able to come up with a valid word!

1:12 am

runningforhome

56 words and nothing over a five. :( I'm out of it after not playing in a week or two...

1:14 am

shortseer

Well i've only got 34 words.
But i like to fully finish with one start letter before going on to the next.
And the the T's have been a bit of a struggle (just finished them woohoo)

1:18 am

sprite

Got to 110 words now. Missed you, runningforhome! No time, or holiday?

1:19 am

runningforhome

It was the end of my school term, so I was much busier than I like to be. Now I'll just be killing time 'til I get to go home for Christmas.

1:21 am

sprite

We'll be seeing a lot more of you, then... ;-)

1:23 am

runningforhome

Most likely ;)
Does the o-8 have anything to do with an o-6 breakfast food?

1:25 am

sprite

Right, A7/36: a delicate needlepoint lace. Had to have a definition for the non-capitalised word, otherwise it wouldn't be valid... :-D

1:26 am

sprite

Could be, but only if you have very strange breakfast habits.
O7: an ancient Greek beverage consisting of wine and honey

1:27 am

sprite

Sorry, you said O8... sigh. Not completely awake, I am. No, no relation between the breakfast-O6 and the O8. You need to think more extreme.

1:31 am

runningforhome

Found it right after I posted my first message. Somehow that always seems to happen.

1:32 am

sprite

Yeah, like asking the question makes room for the answer. ;-D

1:41 am

sprite

154 words / 4.58 / 1697
Why do I always end up with missing words that I am sure I have entered already?
And I was right before, no use for the X again. :-(

8:31 am

Treble99

any clues for the A7 please

9:34 am

sprite

See 01.25 am for a clue. It is a french word, derived from the city that is famous for its lace.

9:48 am

fit1

wow Sprite. What a great A clue. I got it immediately

10:56 am

Treble99

Thanks for the clue sprite

12:43 pm

My secret: economical use of time and no watching tv.

2:56 pm

Found one of the P/7 words. woo hoo!

3:31 pm

Treble99

Are there 2 U6 words

4:38 pm

Taglos

At 03:31 pm Treble99 said...
Are there 2 U6 words

Yes, both start with the same two letters but the third ones are different. I'm sure they'll jump off the grid any minute.

5:15 pm

periwinkle

Taglos, and those two letters would be ----. Honestly, I cannot see any of the U words today.

5:17 pm

periwinkle

But I will keep trying.

5:18 pm

Taglos

Up 6 30's
Sorry for the delay, went for dinner.

5:18 pm

periwinkle

TaDa, Found one of the six letter U words.

5:19 pm

periwinkle

Taglos, we posted at the same time. I actually found the word before I saw your post. Now I need to find the other two.

5:22 pm

Taglos

hehe I do that quite a bit :)
The third is a UL4

5:22 pm

periwinkle

found the 2nd U/6. Yea for me. Noodling does pay off.

5:39 pm

periwinkle

I found the P7 meaning a subdivision of a company of troops. May I have a clue for the 2nd P7 and also the T7. Once I have these I will have all of the 7 letter words.

5:42 pm

Taglos

Pa7 / 44
A small inflammatory elevation of the skin.

5:42 pm

fit1

well, they did not jump off the grid :(

5:47 pm

periwinkle

fit1, the u6 words are compound words. I found them by noodling.

5:48 pm

periwinkle

Taglos, the P word I am thinking of has an S in the middle. Am I on the right track, I do realize that there is no S in this puzzle.
.

5:54 pm

periwinkle

Taglos, I found a P6 that fits the definition you gave for the P7. I cannot seem to make it seven letters. Any hints.

5:56 pm

fit1

Thanks Peri, got the U6's and one u4. That completes the u's. Big whoop :)

5:56 pm

fit1

Peri, RRRRRRRRR try another letter on the p6

5:58 pm

periwinkle

fit1, Thanks, don't know why I didn't try that letter for the end. Can you help me with the U 4?

6:02 pm

Taglos

Glad you got that done, was working on the T7, see the 12:51am post for the clue

For the UL 4, the last two letters are ususally used in the reverse to name a bone.

6:10 pm

runningforhome

I wish 'epitaph' would stop pretending it's in this grid!

6:22 pm

Taglos

Grrrrr my last word is hiding from me. Process of elimination says its a P6 33

6:24 pm

fit1

didja ever feel like you were spinning your wheels? I have 85 words, and I am plumb stuck :(

6:25 pm

fit1

oops, that's 95 words, but I'm still stuck
