8:33 am

That R/7/40 was already mentioned too. I think there's just one of those, right?

9:02 am

Daisy

Can anyone help me find my last N? I have Na4, Na5 and No4.

9:04 am

testing

It's another NO4.

9:15 am

Daisy

Thank you!

9:26 am

Krys10

I'm sure not even the best of you were able to find three D's in this puzzle! It was supposed to be three E's instead, my apologies for the error in the 12:57 stats.

10:03 am

testing

Anyone want to list 6s? I have 8 of the 11.

45 A

..... friends don't let friends babble at 3am!
Testings list and definitions are correct, he beat me to it. I couldn't think of a clue for the O7 40 :)

11:03 am

Taglos

Nor at 11am either it seems. That last post should have started with.
At 08:33 am testing said...

I'm going back to letting Sprite find all the big words, it's safer.

11:04 am

EvaNadine

got em all but the C and the H...funny how easily you find them with just an idea of what to look for! haha

11:10 am

testing

Found a 3rd C/6/24. Just one more 6 missing and it either starts with W or A.

11:17 am

Atalante

starts with A, testing

11:19 am

Atalante

"a candleholder that will be used in many households starting in a week" oooooh utterly stuck there!

11:20 am

EvaNadine

ok, still need the 8 and i have all the 7s except the H. i know what all the 6s start with, but i could use some clues for them!

11:21 am

EvaNadine

Atalante: "instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights!"

11:36 am

Atalante

Thank evanadine! I gave up in the end and googled your clue and found it - I would never have got it otherwise - never heard that word before ...

11:37 am

testing

i/8 - think pots and pans?

6s:
A 45 - having an eating disorder
C 24 - part of the eye
C 24 - singular of C7
C 24 - a piece of plate armor for the elbow
i 30 - to wager (obscure)
O 27 - ??? to beat in battle ???
P 36 - Pertaining to, or designating, a strong organic acid, intensely bitter. (but sounds like a mispronounced meal in a park hee hee)
R 18 - ripped again
R 18 - person who sets fire to trees and tips over cars after a big sports win ;)
R 18 - tool used to decoratively edge wood

11:43 am

Atalante

um testing ... are you sure for that clue for your A45? I would say "without oxygen".

The other A is 6/24 - social instability from erosion values

11:43 am

testing

Slaps hand to forehead!

Yes, you're right. I was reading too fast. But it does look a bit like the word I defined. :-D

11:44 am

Atalante

It does, yes ;)

11:45 am

sprite

Thanks, Atalante... was getting mad because I knew the word and did not see how I could make it... *lol*

11:46 am

Atalante

lol :)

11:46 am

Atalante

3 words to find ... and I can't find them! *pout*

11:47 am

sprite

Just started... 25 now. Lot of catching up to do. But it is fun, to play with definitions for a change.

11:49 am

Atalante

there's some nice words today :)

11:51 am

sprite

Not many words and then so many big ones! It is a treat, this grid. :)

11:59 am

Atalante

98 words / 4.71 / 1290 :)

12:00 pm

sprite

Well done! I'll try and follow your example...

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

testing: those were great clues! thanks!! i still need the I8 (not sure that clue did it for me) and the I6 - ive never been any good at words that start with vowels!

12:24 pm

Atalante

I8 - goods made from a type of metal

12:25 pm

Atalante

sprite - I'm sure it'll take you about 23 minutes as normal ;)

12:31 pm

sprite

*lol* Wish that were true! Spend way too much time babbling lately, but it is so much fun!

12:43 pm

Atalante

Yeah - same here. Though for the last few weeks I've hardly been around - some strange thing called work got in the way. But now I've finally got time to babble properly again :)

12:46 pm

sprite

The only thing wrong with work is that it takes up too much of your free time.

12:51 pm

sprite

Only have 2 words using that X so far. And that with an O and an i so close... must be more...

1:20 pm

testing

Disappointing though it is, there are only two words that use that X in this puzzle. If only there could have been an E next to it . . .

1:22 pm

sprite

That would have been nice, testing!
Well, thanks to your wonderful clues, this was a piece of cake.
98 words / 4.71 / 1290 points it is.

2:02 pm

EvaNadine

2:51 pm
