9:23 am

fit1

I detest that L/6-7 combo

9:27 am

periwinkle

fit1, make the last word plural and you will have a 6/7/8 combo

9:28 am

Wendrie

but as you dislike it.... drop the last vowel or not.... ;)

9:49 am

periwinkle

I have the s/8/50 and the L/8/55. May I have hints or starting letters for the other two 8 letter words?

9:52 am

Wendrie

Sure - but you will have to wait for me to find 'em..... ;)

11:27 am

starchaser

L/7/52

11:42 am

Wendrie

Hi,

I'd love a clue.... I've got 3 REs, 1 RH, 3 RYs, 4 RUs any clues for the last R word I'm missing????

11:46 am

starchaser

r/4/5 . .is that a good enough hint? or do you want the first 2 letters?

11:50 am

periwinkle

starchaser, may I have a clue for the L/7/52.

11:50 am

Wendrie

Having just spent about 30 minutes chasing children and R words I've got to confess the first two letters might be necessary at the moment...

11:53 am

starchaser

it is the adj. form of L/7/40(the one with the s at the end). Sorry not good at give clues like that. . hope that helps.

11:54 am

starchaser

that's fine. . it's Ri

11:55 am

starchaser

Anyone get the i word yet?

11:57 am

rachels_ratty

i/4/13

11:58 am

Wendrie

Having just realised I typed RY not RI - does that change your last word hint? I do have one R/4/5...

11:59 am

starchaser

Duh, the i word was right in front of me! ::feels stupid:: . . yea that does change my hint. Still searching for a few R words. :-( sorry.

12:55 pm

starchaser

I have 7 He's and 8 Ho's, I'm missing 5, any hints?

3:02 pm

Wendrie

I've still got one HE word missing :( I've got 5 HE/4s, 1 HE/7, 1 HE/8 any one able to give a clue to the last one?

I've not found that final R either yet.... :(

Many thanks!

3:05 pm

starchaser

The one you are missing is an he/4.

3:07 pm

starchaser

oh and I also have an he/5 too. . so you are missing two.

3:08 pm

Wendrie

Many thanks Starchaser - isn't it funny how it is often the little ones who manage to be so elusive.

3:08 pm

starchaser

has anyone gotten all the A's? I'm missing one.

3:09 pm

starchaser

No Problem Wendrie! :-D Yes it is funny.:-P

3:10 pm

fit1

I have all seven. al5, an1, ap1

3:11 pm

Wendrie

nope - I've got a HE 5 as well...

Doing two things at once is awfully distracting.... life is getting in the way of babbling once again!

3:18 pm

starchaser

Did you find the He/4 that you were missing then? Thanks fit. Now I know what to look more for.:-D

3:21 pm

alexss

new here. any clues for the he/8?

3:23 pm

Wendrie

Hi alexss, the H 7/8 is a combination word and its plural. I've given the first two letters down a bit on the log.

No, Starchaser I haven't found that last HE.... if it is a HE/4 I can't babble or noodle it :(

3:23 pm

starchaser

It's a compound word and the plural version of he/7.

3:25 pm

starchaser

With the he/4's I have 5 that have 7 points and one that has 9 points. That help you?

3:27 pm

alexss

Got it. Thanks

3:28 pm

starchaser

I'm still missing a lot of S's. I guess I haven't been paying much attention to them.lol

3:29 pm

Wendrie

Well it narrows it down - I've got the 9 pointer so it has to be a 7 pointer.... I'll try 'em all again! Thanks again Starchaser

3:29 pm

Wendrie

Well it narrows it down - I've got the 9 pointer so it has to be a 7 pointer.... I'll try 'em all again! Thanks again Starchaser

3:33 pm

starchaser

hmmmmmm, would it be too much if I told you the order of the points? if it is, what about the direction?

3:36 pm

starchaser

I just found an S/7/40.

3:37 pm

Wendrie

Thanks anyhow Starchaser - Found it! I am glad, I was meant to be stopping at 9:30 so I'm only a few minutes past ;)

Final for today: 160 words 4.78 2456

3:57 pm

periwinkle

RE the HE/7 and 8 combo. Are the words common ones? Are they looking me right in the face. I did find the I word though.

3:57 pm

periwinkle

should have read: are they common ones?

4:03 pm

starchaser

ummmm, yea. I've never heard of the word together, but both words seperate, yea. If you want me to give you a hint on both the words, I can do that.

4:04 pm

hellorady

oo and the Sh7/40. . hint for that too please.

9:43 pm

hellorady

Can I have a hint for the Sh/4/7 that is not an article of clothing, too?

9:46 pm

starchaser

I looked for a definition, but it didn't have any . .odd. . but the direction it goes is: sh (right) (diagonal-up). It's a weird word. not sure why it counts when there is no definition.

9:47 pm

hellorady

Got it, Thanks. :)

9:49 pm

hellorady

For Sh, I have:
5 x 5/16
1 x 6/27
2 x 4/7

Hint for the 6/36 and the 5/28?

9:50 pm

starchaser

Hints on SH/5/28 and 7/40.

9:53 pm

starchaser

it's one of the 5/16 with a y on the end. . .

I only have 4-sh5/16. .hmm. .

9:54 pm

starchaser

the clue I gave was for the 6/36. . I don't have the 5/28

9:55 pm

hellorady

Found the Sh/6/36

Which Sh/5/16 do you have?
one means see-through,
one is "The abode of the dead in the Bible.",
one is "A large group; a crowd.; A large school of fish or other marine animals. "
one is "A young pig just after weaning."
one is the plural of the pigs
one is "One who fits shoes to the feet; one who furnishes or puts on shoes; as, a shoer of horses."

9:56 pm

hellorady

the plural of the pigs wasn't a 5/16. Oops. :)

9:57 pm

hellorady

The 6/36 I have is a kind of pony or dog.. It doesn't work without the y. Maybe the one you found it different?

9:58 pm

hellorady

Found the Sh/6/36 you were talking about, it was a different one.

10:00 pm

starchaser

I'm missing: The abode of the dead in the Bible.",

10:03 pm

hellorady

S's I now have:
1 x Sa
10 x Sh
1 x Si
1 x Sk
6 x Sp
11 x St
2 x Su

"The abode of the dead in the Bible" - did you get it? I'd never heard it before, it is similar to the large group/school of fish, with the two middle vowels switched around and one replaced. Sorry if that's confusing!

10:03 pm

starchaser

can you give me a hint for that 6/36 that means a kind of pony or dog?

10:06 pm

hellorady

If you take off the "y" from the end and add an "er", it could mean a house.

10:06 pm

starchaser

got the "The abode of the dead in the Bible "word. .thanks.

10:08 pm

starchaser

weird, I thought I typed that word in before and is said it wasn't a word.. odd.

10:09 pm

hellorady

1 x R/4/4
1 x R/4/5
1 x R/4/7
2 x R/4/8
1 x R/5/24
1 x R/5/22

Also, the pony/dog is usually spelled with an "ie" on the end instead of a "y" but in this puzzle it has a "y".

10:10 pm

starchaser

10 x Sh
2 x Si
