3:50 am
mattygroves
I think they're two different words. I think (and I'd have to look it up to be sure) the nu4 is like a plastic pebble.
3:51 am
mattygroves
Nope, I'm wrong. Carry on.
3:52 am

I had to think about it a while, but all things chemical are not my forte. And I prefer clues that make me think to ones that just spell out the word. Thanks.

Bea, the only Japanese verse is Haiku
7:57 am
Flask1
Afternoon all....can someone please remind me how to add my words to the list?
7:58 am
BzznBea
There is another form similar, bichon.
7:59 am
Jacula
se6 is similar to haiku.
8:00 am
bichon
could someone give me a clue. I googled it, but no luck
8:01 am
BzznBea
uses sometimes vowel and last vowel at the end of the word.
8:03 am
Jacula
the start of the word is rather like the he5.16 (king who got through quite a few wives), bichon.
8:03 am
bichon
does the y end the word?
8:04 am
Flask1
AM I INVISIBLE, OR ARE YOU ALL JUST DOWNRIGHT RUDE!!!
8:05 am

No, WE areen't RUDE. wE ARE BUSY.
8:05 am

I'm sorry, Flask. I do not know the anser to your question as I use expert.
8:05 am
bichon
ty Jacula, Bea
8:06 am
Flask1
BUT NOT TOO BUSY TO CLUE EACH OTHER GAPEACH!!
8:06 am
Jacula
Hi Flask. I didn't see you there. You just press enter to add a word to your list on here.
8:07 am
Jacula
Or click on the Add Word box and press the Add button.
8:08 am
Flask1
Hi Jacula....I mean to add words to lickety's page please....
8:09 am
Jacula
Ah, I haven't done that in a while. I think you just type the word in on there.
8:10 am
Flask1
Thanks Jacula.....is there anyone here knows????
8:11 am
Jacula
I've just had a quick look for you and you type the word in the add word box at the top.
8:11 am
mattygroves
There's a number of ways of doing it. In the top box, add the word and hit return - if it's a word, it'll disappear from the top box and appear like magic in the correct place. If it isn't, it'll just stay there, like a wasp investigating your beer
8:12 am
mattygroves
You can also enter the word directly into the (hopefully) correct space in the list, but you won't know if you're right or not.
8:12 am
Jacula
Lol matty - that last bit about the wasp made me smile.
8:13 am
mattygroves
Or you can copy the entire word list from Babble (the words you've found) and paste it into the first big box at the bottom (don't worry about the extra bits like the scores - Lickety will take care of that for you)
8:14 am
Flask1
Thankyou very much Matty...also to you too Jacula...
8:14 am
BzznBea
Perfect, matty. Thank you.
8:14 am
Jacula
y/w Flask.
8:16 am
mattygroves
And hey, it's a stressful time for everyone - we're all here but many are just dealing with the puzzle or with people they know (either online, here or elsewhere). I don't always get answers either. These are crazy, crazy times! How are you coping, Flask?
8:17 am
mattygroves
Well, I'm here on and off ;)
8:20 am
Jacula
I'm off, too. I'll be back for my final 30 later. Bye all.
8:21 am
Flask1
Matty, I fully understand what you're saying, however, over the years, I seem to have a prime target for this type of treatment, and believe me, it hurts! Sadly, it usually always the same players.....how am I coping with covid.....well I am virtually bed-bound anyway, and my son is my main carer....so we're hanging in there.....as I hope you are....:)
8:21 am
Flask1
Bye Jacula!

I'm on a Mac, so can't use Expert so I'm pretty good with Lickety (when I can be bothered)
8:25 am
BzznBea
You are welcome, flask
8:25 am
mattygroves
When I first started playing, I HAD to finish every grid. It became more of a chore than a pleasure, so I stopped all together. Now, sometimes I finish, sometimes I don't and I enjoy it all the more for it :)
8:26 am
hokie carla
I do as many as I can, then open lickety and do bulk add, then after that any I get I enter in the box at the top.
8:27 am
hokie carla
matty, I was the same way years ago and it got too much and I just quit altogether. then came back after about 5 years off and now I don't have to finish. I like to, but can still go to bed without
8:27 am
BzznBea
Congrats, peach.
8:28 am
mattygroves
It sounds like we are similar, Carla
8:28 am
Flask1
I'm the same Matty....used torture myself trying to finish them, years ago.....now sometimes I can go for months and not play at all....now I too enjoy it much more....
8:28 am
mattygroves
I've hit a wall now, though, with 35 left. I may...or may not list :)
8:28 am

I still have 100 left! working on the lower s, no idea how there are that many.

It's only tradition that dictates what we eat for breakfast, really. The Japanese love themselves some rice with veg for breakfast - no sillier than cereal with fruit, really

i despair that it will be. think how many are needed, because the results would be subject to change daily
4:21 pm
welki
here, it's fairly simple to get tested now, if you are high risk or have any of the 'common' symptoms. me, i'm not that interested in being tested 'just because,' but would like the antibody test, too

they have like drive through testing here. I don't think it's that easy to get one and apparently the state ones are taking 10 days for results, which just seems pointless, but my dr/hospital system has their own lab and results are much faster

my county is purusing getting the instant test machine can do 4 per hour.
4:25 pm
72 Temple Owl
and they are moving to self testing, which reduces the PPE needed.
