9:19 am

hokie carla

duh

9:19 am

hokie carla

I thought about that one earlier and then forgot to check it

9:25 am

hokie carla

fastest B ever

9:26 am

hurshy

this is not the first time i've been frustrated by the fact that helter isn't a word

9:26 am

hurshy

i guess it's hyphenated? helter-skelter?

9:27 am

hokie carla

lol, I tried it twice just in case

9:27 am

hokie carla

I don't think it is hyphenated. I think it's just maybe a nonsense phrase and didn't make it into enable.

9:27 am

hokie carla

maybe moo can tell us later.

9:29 am

HarryHood

hi! 8 left.

9:29 am

hokie carla

9:32 am

HarryHood

bad song for sharon tate

9:32 am

hokie carla

yes, I'm familiar with it. :D

9:32 am

hokie carla

ok, 18 left now

9:34 am

hokie carla

so, I'm assuming that lower H is HE, what is the word length?

9:34 am

hurshy

4

9:34 am

hokie carla

nm!

9:34 am

hokie carla

saw it as soon as I asked. I should just do that every time.

9:35 am

hurshy

wait so what's the 8?

9:35 am

JaxH66

pr8/45

9:36 am

hurshy

ah ok thanks

9:41 am

Moo is not the only one who can look things up in Google. Helter and Skelter are two "non-words".

9:41 am

JaxH66

9:41 am

hokie carla

9:41 am

HarryHood

9:41 am

HarryHood

duh

9:41 am

HarryHood

was missing an easy A

9:41 am

rastapopolous

And yet, we just bought an "egg skelter"

9:42 am

hokie carla

I know, but he has familiarity with words and non-words on enable and history of things added in updates (we don't have)

9:42 am

HarryHood

got the S - also an easy one.

9:42 am

HarryHood

6 to go.

9:42 am

hokie carla

and I already guessed it was a nonsense phrase, so I don't even have to look stuff up :D

9:43 am

MollyL

There are no updates to Enable.

9:43 am

hokie carla

I thought there were a couple but ours is still the original

9:44 am

MollyL

Nope, Enable has not been updated since the year 2000

9:44 am

hurshy

this is so weird, one of the two i have left is a four but i feel like i've literally tried all of the possible 4 letter combos for both of those tiles!

9:45 am

hokie carla

that has happened to me frequently lately

9:45 am

hurshy

now, there, i found the one i hadn't put!

9:45 am

hurshy

ok, so R6

9:45 am

hokie carla

I have 4 4's left. guess I will look for those

9:46 am

hurshy

TADA!!!

9:53 am

hokie carla

9:54 am

HarryHood

9:54 am

HarryHood

9:54 am

HarryHood

9:55 am

hokie carla

T E R T L RR SS - 2 4, 5 5, 2 6

9:56 am

HarryHood

can't get over the fact that one can't re6 leftovers if they're frozen

9:57 am

hokie carla

there are a few

9:58 am

hokie carla

like that

9:58 am

HarryHood

2:15 pm

moolingwa

well, just started

2:15 pm

hokie carla

it was a pretty quick one today until the end

2:16 pm

moolingwa

probably on account of those e's in the middle

2:19 pm

moolingwa

25 to go

2:20 pm

hokie carla

LMK when you find my last 6, I'll just be packing ornaments over here

2:23 pm

hokie carla

sounds about the same path I had

2:24 pm

moolingwa

13 to go...5 are 4s

2:25 pm

moolingwa

at least the 7s and 8 were relatively straight forward

2:25 pm

moolingwa

final 10 to go...

2:25 pm

moolingwa

A,A,S,S,S,T,T,T,W

2:26 pm

hokie carla

2:26 pm

moolingwa

kind of related to one of the 7s

2:26 pm

hokie carla

oh, yeah, a stupid one

2:26 pm

moolingwa

unless you were a king or chief in olden times

2:27 pm

hokie carla

2:28 pm

moolingwa

2:29 pm

moolingwa

you got the needle case

2:29 pm

moolingwa

oh wrong e

2:29 pm

moolingwa

perhaps the pitcher

2:29 pm

hokie carla

I finished the top S on first pass, so nothing unusual there

2:29 pm

moolingwa

or it's an easy one

2:29 pm

hokie carla

no, I have the pitcher

2:30 pm

moolingwa

plural?

2:30 pm

hokie carla

and the noblemen

2:30 pm

moolingwa

or the times we'll get there

2:30 pm

2:31 pm

moolingwa

no

2:31 pm

moolingwa

the noblemen

2:31 pm

hokie carla

2:31 pm

moolingwa

2:33 pm

hokie carla

I have ea4,5,4,4 et4,ew4 from that E, so all the ones you've mentioned

2:33 pm

moolingwa

2:33 pm

hokie carla

it's an enigma

2:33 pm

moolingwa

you said from the middle e?

2:33 pm

hokie carla

yes

2:33 pm

moolingwa

then you may need to chew on it

2:34 pm

hokie carla

I have consumes food

2:34 pm

moolingwa

2:35 pm

moolingwa

2:39 pm

hokie carla

2:40 pm

hokie carla

2:40 pm

moolingwa

2:40 pm

hokie carla

rodents

2:40 pm

moolingwa

two ra4s

2:40 pm

moolingwa

both easy

2:41 pm

hokie carla

no, it was rodents.

2:41 pm

moolingwa

ah

2:41 pm

hokie carla

now one lower T and 2 lower S, all 5s

2:41 pm

hokie carla

that narrows it down

2:41 pm

moolingwa

there's an s5 that looks like old english

2:41 pm

hokie carla

like a past tense?

2:41 pm

hokie carla

or a grain in breads?

2:42 pm

moolingwa

says slothful, indolent

2:42 pm

moolingwa

and it's from Northern Englang/Scotland

2:42 pm

hokie carla

oh, I have that one

2:43 pm

moolingwa

2:43 pm

moolingwa

2:45 pm

hokie carla

2:48 pm

hokie carla

2:48 pm

moolingwa

I am missing that too

2:48 pm

hokie carla

2:49 pm

hokie carla

2:50 pm

hokie carla

oh, and it's scottish

2:50 pm

moolingwa

2:50 pm

hokie carla

2:54 pm

moolingwa

2:54 pm

moolingwa

going to guess trousers

2:55 pm

hokie carla

that's what it said

2:55 pm
