Krys10, thank you!
How was your holiday?

2:19 am

metags

s7/48 still searching for the others :)

2:21 am

metags

found the F too, F7/40

2:23 am

sprite

You are doing much better than me, metags. Haven't found anything above 6 yet. Perhaps 2 hours sleep a night for some period of time isn't too great for babbling skills. ;-)

2:26 am

metags

the T8/50 is a compound word.
Just lucky or on a roll, sprite ;) But now it's my bedtime!

2:30 am

sprite

Just found it. Good night to you!

2:38 am

sprite

Hey, professor Lupin is in there!

2:49 am

Atalante

The F7 is a great word! (not a clue, just a comment lol)

2:51 am

onyx

could they be why testudo never flies and the liions at u of michigan don't roar?

3:00 am

sprite

*lol* onyx!

3:14 am

sprite

Learned a new word, again.
"The buying or selling of ecclesiastical pardons, offices, or emoluments."
Puts one of our bisshops, with a similar name, in an new perspective... ;-)

3:29 am

sprite

O7/28

4:06 am

sprite

Aye, a very scottish Y5/20.

4:29 am

sprite

Just enter a not valid word or a word you have used before... and babble gives you one word for free!

4:46 am

sprite

Potterish grid... also something professor Snape likes to make.

4:47 am

sprite

And that was it for today, folks...
125 words / 4.67 / 1617 points

6:01 am

periwinkle

sprite, may I have a clue for the o/7?

6:09 am

periwinkle

A clue for the T/8 would be appreciated.

6:11 am

periwinkle

nevermind, found the T/8 by myself. i am really getting better at this game.

6:52 am

Atalante

well, can I have a clue for it then, Periwinkle????

7:37 am

Wendrie

the t/8 is found in an arch. compound word 3 and 8 letters.

7:54 am

Atalante

How can these words be soooooo obvious as soon as you know what you're looking for? Thanks Wendrie!

10:28 am

Treble99

I can only find one E in this puzzle

10:35 am

sprite

O7: small opening or pore, as of a fruiting body

E's: 5-4-6-4

10:38 am

Krys10

I just worked through the E's myself:
1) an organic compound (hydroxyl group bonded to carbon)
2) transvestism
3) obsolete plural of the organ you see with
4) to remove, withdraw, or conceal
(not in order)

11:32 am

periwinkle

I have 2 fl4 and one fl7. What am I missing?

11:34 am

periwinkle

May I have a clue for the S/7, Please?

11:43 am

Michelle

I have an fl6

11:44 am

periwinkle

May I please have a clue for the fl6?

11:45 am

Atalante

1 FL4 and 2 FL6s

11:53 am

Kukana

One fl6 is like the fl7 with a letter missing. And the other one sounds the same but is spelled differently. The dictionary doesn't give any meanings for them. And why, I want to know, won't Babble accept the perfectly good word 'foley', as in 'foley artist' ?

12:03 pm

Treble99

Thanks Krys10 for the great clues.

12:07 pm

Krys10

Welcome. I could use some help with O's.. have five hard-fought words, and can't possibly see where three more are going to come from.. so far:
OLx1, ONx1, OOx1, OSx2

12:07 pm

Treble99

does the E5 start with En

12:09 pm

Krys10

nope.

12:34 pm

Atalante

OLx2

12:53 pm

sprite

Oo x2
Op

1:19 pm

Wendrie

I can't find the last two Ls (and several other words but that is beside the point and another question for later) I have 2 LEs, 9 LOs and 1 LY any other thoughts or clues?

1:22 pm

sprite

Another 2x Lo

1:23 pm

fnurt

Any hints for the i's?

1:26 pm

sprite

i4 and i6, both start with the same 2 letters.

1:27 pm

Wendrie

Thanks sprite! Sorry haven't even thought about i words yets

1:28 pm

bumblebee

Two more Lo

1:33 pm

Michelle

Could you help a little more?
I have lo4x6, lo5x3.

1:35 pm

sprite

Then you need 2 more Lo5's.

1:35 pm

Wendrie

the other two are LO x 5

1:36 pm

sprite

My guess would be a 5/16 and a 5/10

1:41 pm

Michelle

Thanks! You were right. I got the 5/10, now off to find the 5/16.

1:48 pm

Michelle

Got it! Silly word!

1:58 pm

fnurt

I am having real trouble with the N's. Help help!

2:00 pm

Krys10

A bunch of the N's have no definition according to dictionary.com. Four of the eight start with the same three letters.

2:01 pm

Krys10

Sorry, four of the seven.

2:02 pm

Treble99

A clue for the LO 5/16 please

2:06 pm

Krys10

It's similar to an L5/10 and I can't find definitions for either of them. Stick to the bottom two rows.

2:09 pm

Treble99

is is Ly or LO

2:35 pm

runningforhome

I really want to make 'poison'. :(

2:42 pm

Wendrie

and position....

Speaking of Ps I'm short one - I've got 1 each of POI, POM, POO, POS, and three POT any idea what the last one is????

2:45 pm

Krys10

There's a second POO

2:50 pm

Treble99

any clues for the S7 please

2:55 pm

Wendrie

Thanks Krys - and would you believe I'd got the less common POO and missed the common one???? <sigh>

The S7 builds off of a S5/14

2:58 pm

Treble99

thanks Wendrie

3:04 pm

Wendrie

O.k. Now I'm trying to finish off the Ss....

I've got Si x 4, SO x 2, SP x 6, ST x 11 so I'm missing three....

3:15 pm

bumblebee

You're missing 3 So

3:19 pm

bumblebee

I'm missing two M's.
Have 5 x Mi and 18 x Mo

3:32 pm

sprite

6x Mi
19x Mo

3:43 pm

bumblebee

Thanks,
I found them.

3:44 pm

Wendrie

thanks - now if Babble would let me see the grid again I'd try and find some more words!

4:32 pm

Wendrie

finally Babble allows me to see the grid again (well, it was letting me see the grid my browser just wasn't loading graphics....)

I have 121 words 4.69 1581 and know I am missing an E (the second word alphabetically 4 letters), an F (4 FL and 1 FY), two T words (8x4 letters and 1x8 all beginning with TO) and one final MO word.... any thoughts would be gratefully received!

4:45 pm

fit1

4:48 pm

Milly

5:03 pm

FitzyFitz

I'm sulking - cylon ought to be allowed, they were the bad guys in Battlestar Galactica.

5:07 pm

Wendrie

Thanks for all of that Milly - you helped tremendously.... shame I miscounted and I had all the MOs..... <sigh> it is too late to go back and check 'em all I'm off to bed. Thanks again for all your help everyone!
