Hi everyone, I’m new here. Any advice?
3:19 am
little mim
Welcome - my only advice would be to enjoy the games and the chat
3:20 am
Patts
Thanks. I certainly am so far
3:22 am
JaxH66
Welcome. Do you know how the word scoring works? For 4 letter words you add up the individual tiles, for 5 letters, you double the score, 6 letter x3, 7 x4 etc
3:27 am
Patts
Thanks I hadn’t looked at that yet.

Hi aslindy.
7:37 am
aslindy
hi scrabs!
7:37 am
Scrabbler
I have mostly focused on the middle of the grid. I need to spread out.
7:38 am
aslindy
yes, the middle is full
7:39 am
Scrabbler
The e is key.
7:40 am

Good Morning, friends.

Hi Bea. How is your mom?
7:43 am
72 Temple Owl
good morning. bbl
7:44 am
WoolyChris
good morning all
7:45 am
Scrabbler
Hi Chris. Dive in.
7:45 am
aslindy
hello chris
7:45 am
Scrabbler
Free clue!
7:46 am
BzznBea
Thanks for asking, Scrabs. She is doing well. Muscle spasm have ceased and she is back to her usual routine. She still uses the walker a lot more, but that is due to her bad knees.
7:46 am
WoolyChris
It's a great grid. I did some in the middle of the night.
7:46 am
Scrabbler
Very good. My mother (89) uses a walker and has a deteriorating skeleton but a sharp mind.
7:47 am
BzznBea
I've noticed since this incident, her mind is slipping at times.
7:48 am
Scrabbler
She is likely emotionally shaken from the ER visit.
7:49 am
Scrabbler
And maybe sleep deprived.
7:52 am
BzznBea
I hadn't thought of that. We've been playing cards in the evening. She also helped with measuing sugar and flour for the cookie baking. I noticed she is back to reading again. So she will sharpen up soon.
7:52 am
Scrabbler
I suspect so.
7:55 am
aslindy
sorry to hear about your mom, bea. I hope she's back to herself soon!
8:00 am
WoolyChris
The holidays are tiring and trying for some of the elderly. The disruption of normal routines and schedules can be very difficult. Add to that the stress of isolation and you have a recipe for confusion.
8:01 am
BzznBea
Thanks, lindy and Chris. I just need to keep her actively involved.
8:02 am
Scrabbler
Thanks for the clue, Chris. 155 to go and I am blind.
8:03 am
WoolyChris
don't forget the ts 5 and 6
8:05 am
WoolyChris
there are two ts 5
8:05 am
Scrabbler
And with those 3 I greyed out that corner T.
8:06 am
aslindy
I don't know those ts wo5. any clues?
8:06 am
Scrabbler
ts5/12 = ts + lemon***. Add S for ts6/21
8:06 am
Scrabbler
Then change last vowel of the ts5
8:07 am
aslindy
thank you scrabs
8:09 am
WoolyChris
they are the 18th letter of the Hebrew alphabet
8:11 am
Scrabbler
Ah, I forgot.
8:12 am
WoolyChris
I looked them up
8:14 am
BzznBea
Hinky is not in the dictionary. It should be!
8:15 am
WoolyChris
I agree - I've tried it several times
8:20 am
Scrabbler

penquis

JaxH66

8:59 am
penquis

JaxH66
Thanks, I’ll go looking again
9:01 am
jzw
Are they compound words? I have wo 7 pl . Is that related to the 8 and 9
9:01 am
BzznBea
Not compound. Both have suffixes.
9:01 am
JaxH66
The wo8 isn’t related to the 8
9:02 am
BzznBea
Look for the monster.
9:02 am
welki
that did it - thanks, bea
9:02 am
hokie carla

Not seeing the big wo
9:20 am
jzw
I got the wo8. Is the 9 related?
9:20 am
BzznBea
related, but not extended
9:20 am
penquis

9:20 am
hokie carla
I think that's what they said, related but not extended
9:23 am
jzw
Got it. Googled words beginning with: wo?? Ah now I get the monster reference!
9:29 am
zoozzoom
We had winds of 106 mph last night but thankfully no damage to my house.
9:30 am
BzznBea
Wow! That tornadic here, zooz.
9:31 am
zoozzoom
These were more like gusts thank goodness but still a lot of branches around the roads etc. I am surprised my house did not get any damage seeming my roof got damaged last time.
9:37 am
hokie carla
my mom had some really bad winds on Xmas Eve. blew over her patio table and shattered it all over the carport. I told my brother when the snow melts off he needs to check the roof.
9:37 am
zoozzoom
Not nice, Hokie. I hope the roof is okay for her.
9:38 am
zoozzoom
I keep trying to make tiredness work.

hokie carla

zoozzoom

BzznBea
What is the answer?
9:55 am
hokie carla
sorry, did not read the earlier chat. it's Yanni
9:55 am
MollyL
Yanni. Welki did it earler, pan flute player
9:55 am
MLFAN17
the person who mentioned they had gotten hacked was it from this site?
9:55 am
hokie carla
oh, I saw some pan flute player talk but didn't realize that was who. LOL
9:56 am
hokie carla
I don't know, mlfan. if they did they had used this same password on another site.
9:56 am
MollyL
Who mentioned they got hacked?
9:57 am
MLFAN17
have heard of that happening
9:58 am
BzznBea
Change you password if you are worried.
9:58 am
BzznBea
Get virus protection.
9:58 am
zoozzoom
Do not know, Molly. I think Lil Monkey said she got hacked a while a go. Have not read any of the earlier chat.
9:59 am
hokie carla
they can't just break into your computer if you have it set up securely. and yes, they can steal your password from this website if they hack it, so don't use this password anywhere else.
9:59 am
MollyL
Agreed. You are a sitting duck for any malware or virus without protection of some sort.
9:59 am
BzznBea
Don't open any videos on FB
9:59 am
MLFAN17
i just changed my password for this site
10:00 am
zoozzoom
Never use FB here.
10:00 am
MollyL
Facebook is wide open to hackers. No matter what kind of "protection" they assure you.
10:01 am
MLFAN17
i always tell my husband to not watch videos.. never listens lol
10:01 am
zoozzoom
I do not have a life to put on FB haha! That is how boring mine is!
10:01 am
MLFAN17
this site stills says not secure
10:01 am
hokie carla
yes, so don't use this password elsewhere is what that means
10:01 am
zoozzoom
That is because it is not secure, Mlf.
10:02 am
MollyL
This site is not secure. It never has been.
10:02 am
MLFAN17
i know its because their is no lock on the address for thi site or h*** at the begining of it
10:02 am
hokie carla
there are http websites and https websites, the s means secured
10:02 am
LuvWordGames
Is Babble Expert secure?
10:02 am
MLFAN17
yes it does
10:02 am
MLFAN17
babble expert secure no idea
10:03 am
hokie carla
there are other websites that are just http, but any retail, bank, email, etc. will be https, secure.
10:04 am
zoozzoom
I do not do online or even phone banking. I will always go into the bank. Call me old fashioned but that is how I like it.
10:04 am
BzznBea
I found out what happened to my missing packages.
10:04 am
hokie carla
if you are online shopping and are on a website that is not secure, don't enter any credit card or any info
10:04 am
hokie carla
oh, do tell, bea
10:06 am
BzznBea
The tracking sticker that was on the package to MN was on the package that was delivered to KS. Without the tracking info, they will not deliver because that also says postage was paid.
10:06 am
hokie carla
but here you're only entering words and whatever you type in the chat, so don't enter your cc#, SSN, passwords to other sites, etc. into the chat. the biggest issue is to make sure you have a completely unique password here, so that if it is stolen, they can't use it at any other websites you've used it.
10:07 am
BzznBea
I am assuming the other box is the sames way.
10:07 am
hokie carla
so it stuck to it or they stuck it to the wrong one?
10:08 am
BzznBea
They stuc it on the right box, but in moving around it got stuck on the other box.
10:09 am
hokie carla
that stinks
10:10 am
BzznBea
Hopefully, they will send it back here as it is clearly labeled with the address and return address. I have the receipts so I can get them back to the PO and get them sent on their way again.
10:10 am
BzznBea
I'm going to call customer service tomorrow. Me and a million other people.
10:12 am
72 Temple Owl
i believe it was crosshair who mentioned his FB account was hacked and warned hid babble FB friends not to open any videos sent in his name, mlf
10:16 am
zoozzoom
Hello, T owl :-)
10:16 am
hokie carla
ok, so FB has nothing to do with this site, unless of course he had the same password as here.
10:16 am
hokie carla
howdy TO!
10:17 am
hokie carla
and some FB "hacks" aren't actually hacks at all, but spoofs. my mom's FB account got spoofed several times. they steal your profile pic and use your name so it looks like it's actually you.

6:08 pm
Lizlin
We love our Macs. Why can't you list on a MacBook? Still copy and paste.
6:08 pm
cosdem
right.. not as easy but I could!
6:08 pm
cosdem
I will do that eventually lol
6:09 pm
Lizlin
it's tougher on an iPad because I hate the split screen function there so I flip from one tab to another, which is irritating.
6:09 pm
cosdem
oh wow how did I miss that ok4! lol
6:09 pm
cosdem
right I have an iPad but it was too hard to use on here so I haven't played...
6:10 pm
Lizlin
I did too!
6:10 pm
Lizlin
I play on my iPad in the evening, while I watch TV
6:10 pm
cosdem
but I did get a keyboard for my iPad.. I might try that out here soon
6:11 pm
Lizlin
it works OK with the keyboard but unless you turn off autocorrect, you have to hit enter rather than add word.
6:12 pm
penquis
it's not so bad....i play sometimes on my iPad with a keybord....you can also turn off the autocorrect....
6:12 pm
cosdem
be back in a few.. gotta check on the chihauauas
6:12 pm
Lizlin
I've got used to it. Like I said, I love our Apple products - don't have any PC or android stuff.
6:12 pm
Lizlin
True - I just haven't bothered because there are other times, when it's useful.
6:13 pm
cosdem
I have MacBook, iPad, iPhone lol... all not most recent versions but they still work great
6:13 pm
penquis
i haven't either...
6:13 pm
Lizlin

6:14 pm

6:17 pm
cosdem
an + foot part minus a letter, then pl?
6:17 pm
penquis

6:19 pm
Lizlin
Have to admit I used Morewords - then the body part made good sense.
6:21 pm
penquis
yes...thought it was the body part he suggested, but couldn't make it work....
6:21 pm
cosdem
