Book Doctor Gwen
you can give the first to letters of a word, and the total number of letters in a word, and tot total score for a word (example: ru7,36) but try not to type the entire word
12:11 am
Book Doctor Gwen
crap -- first TWO letters of a word
12:11 am
grannyrose
hi Amy. welcome to babble where just about any weird word counts. for the first hour after flip clues are only the first two letters and the number of letters in the word. generally only the higher number lettered words are called.
12:12 am
grannyrose
the exception is if there is only one word for the tile and it is a babblet or unusual word.
12:13 am
Book Doctor Gwen
yeah, right now we just brag about aour big finds, like that old co5, woot!
12:13 am
Amy Babs
Thank you grannyrose. Newbie to chat oldie to babble
12:13 am
Book Doctor Gwen
nbt, woot! (we say nbt for no blank tiles, thus we have found at least one word for each tile)
12:14 am
grannyrose

9:10 am
hokie carla
babblet
9:10 am
moolingwa
yeah, woke up at 4am, so been up a while
9:12 am
hokie carla
yuck to moo waking up at 4am
9:12 am
mkg
need two more clues please: the R bottom row please?
9:12 am
hokie carla
(not a morning person here)
9:12 am
moolingwa
I normally get up between 6:30-7:30...but 4am a bit early
9:12 am
hokie carla
hi welki!
9:13 am
mkg
ok. i am not a morning person either. so yuk from me too
9:13 am
welki
we get up early, too - even on weekends. if we sleep to 6:30, we consider that "sleeping in"
9:14 am
welki
mkg, the bottom r is ru 7/36
9:14 am
hokie carla
natural wake-up time for me is 9-ish. would have to set an alarm for anything before that.
9:15 am
welki
what time do you go to bed, hokie? late?
9:15 am
hokie carla
yeah, I can't go to sleep before 11, usually around midnight or later.
9:16 am
moolingwa
100 down
9:16 am
welki
those days seem to be few and far between for us - used to be we'd stay up very late, but us old fogies turn out the lights earlier these days
9:16 am
hokie carla
LOL, I haven't even reached halfway!
9:17 am
hokie carla
but I have gotten at least half on each tile I've tried. just on 3rd row right now.
9:17 am
welki
heh - wasn't that long ago that 11pm was 'time to have a smokie by the fire time'
9:17 am
moolingwa
I don't have half the G's yet...one short ;)
9:17 am
moolingwa

9:33 am
hokie carla
ru, I was seriously like, what??
9:33 am
mkg

9:33 am
hokie carla
someone said it is ru7
9:34 am
penquis
it's a "sorta" word....
9:34 am
hokie carla
well that's stupid, thx pen
9:35 am
mkg
got the ru word. ty.
9:35 am
hokie carla
back to this gu7 - I have tried adding consonants to the gu6 to no avail
9:36 am
mkg
need one last clue for the E word fourth column. ty.
9:36 am
hokie carla
el4/5 babblet
9:36 am
penquis
rhymes with Rhett of Tara fame.....
9:37 am
rururocks
homie... 99% of my comments are generally a joke
9:37 am
penquis
that's for the gu word....
9:37 am
hokie carla
thank you pen!
9:38 am
mkg
el 4 5 not finding. ouch.
9:38 am
hokie carla
I know yours was a joke ru, what I was trying to say is that's exactly what I thought when she said rhymes with bovines.
9:38 am
penquis
gotta go....bbl to finish.....bye all....
9:38 am
hokie carla
bye pen
9:39 am
mkg
gu + the end of the term for many cows. and then for the 7, add ending letter
9:40 am
mkg
19 F words????????where are they? ouch.
9:40 am
hokie carla
I have found 15 F's, and I made up a lot of them if that helps
9:41 am
MollyL
I'm not getting the rhymes with bovines thing. Must be having a dim day.
9:42 am
mkg
the slow moving animal is in here. tu 6 and 7
9:42 am
hokie carla
I'm still not either but got the word with pen's gone with the wind clue
9:42 am
mkg
molly substitute the gu for the first two letters of the bovines and then put the rest of the word in.
9:43 am
hokie carla
I think I see what you're saying but that's not really a rhyming word
9:43 am
rururocks
bye guys.. have a good day
9:44 am
hokie carla
bye ruru!
9:50 am
hokie carla
found 10 4's, now 6 4's left.
9:58 am
MollyL
I have the word, just don't get the clue
9:59 am
hokie carla
I think it meant it rhymes with cattle, which I don't think it does and that's why I didn't get it. but mkg did, which is good. that's why different clues work for different players.
10:00 am
hokie carla
is the is6 an everyday word?
10:00 am
MollyL
I guess. It rhymes with what a manservant does, but not the ca word you mentioned.
10:01 am
MollyL
Not an everyday word at all
10:01 am
hokie carla
ok, thx
10:01 am
MollyL
It's the kind of word that moolingwa and hurshy will know.
: D
10:01 am
hokie carla
but of course
10:02 am
MollyL
And they would give the definition, like that would help us mere mortals.
10:02 am
hokie carla
is it chemistry related?

11:16 am
hokie carla
I made up a lot of F's, hurshy
11:16 am
hurshy
did it talk about the guy who knew it was going to explode
11:17 am
hokie carla
he was like, I made the call, I'd do it again
11:17 am
hokie carla
I guess whatever helps you sleep at night
11:17 am
hurshy
i don't get why he felt guilty his whole life. i would have felt angry at the people who didn't listen to me, if i were him, i think
11:17 am
hokie carla
that was a different guy, he felt really bad
11:18 am
hurshy
no i mean the guy who like tried to convince everyone not to do it
11:19 am
hokie carla

11:23 am
hurshy
i'm trying to figure out what it can be coming after the others like that..
11:23 am
hokie carla
think of pigpen from charlie brown, he lives in fi5
11:25 am
hokie carla
hmm, my missing R was one I thought I'd tried.
11:25 am
hurshy
but it has to start like the others, and come after them and not have a lot of points... i'm confused
11:25 am
hokie carla
somehow I monkeyed it right away (we are talking last ha7?)
11:26 am
hurshy
yes, and i got it, and i still don't see how on earth fi5 relates to it! lol
11:26 am
hokie carla
5 T's left - gotta take the dog out!
11:31 am
hokie carla
well that was easy finish. I should have gotten to like 2 or 3 left before being stuck and listing. oh well.
11:32 am
hokie carla
fi5 doesn't relate to it, bichon asked for a clue for fi5!
11:32 am
bichon
I got th fi 5
11:33 am
hokie carla
I know, I think hurshy was saying she thought I was clueing the last ha7 with fi5.

1:47 pm
HarryHood
Wow - words just started appearing all over the grid for me

I think This is Spinal Tap is the first of those movies, but I don't think Levy is in that one
1:50 pm
HarryHood
yes he is
1:50 pm
hokie carla
a lot of the same players in all those improv movies.
1:51 pm
HarryHood

3:24 pm
moolingwa

I don't know why the dictionary here defines the last ha7 as "chiefly Southern US". It is a British term for meat.

Looking up the definition--finely minced cooked pork offal pressed into a loaf and served cold. Doesn't exactly scream "Fix this right away!"
5:22 pm
Mubner
sounds gross
5:23 pm
MollyL
I've never gotten the whole "pork offal" love.
5:23 pm
Mubner
offal sounds awful
5:24 pm
jan
Some kinds can be good, but there's a reason why food like that is a staple among the poor.
5:26 pm
Mubner
I grew up eating most parts of the moose, my mother had a keen ability to disguise offal.

My British husband can make a terrific steak and kidney pie with lamb's kidneys. I recall once inviting a couple over for a steak and kidney meal, and the husband took me aside and said, My wife doesn't eat much meat, so could you make it with just the kidney beans? Haha--we made a cauliflower cheese pie instead.

Amazing. The name of Trump's German mentor from the 1930's and 40's appears in the puzzle. Hint: 6 letters ending in r
