Thanks

7:02 am

Haz1558

I'm looking for it at the minute, one is un7/36, the other which I'm trying to find is un7/40.

7:03 am

player girl

Thanks Haz, do they build off 5's?

7:03 am

Haz1558

No, at least the un7/36 doesn't.

7:04 am

Haz1558

Or do you mean is a five included in the second part? Yes, in that case.

7:05 am

Haz1558

I've found the second one. They differ in only one letter.

7:05 am

player girl

Oh, OK

7:06 am

Haz1558

If you need or want a clue, let me know.

7:06 am

player girl

Yes please, I am not getting it.

7:07 am

Haz1558

The first one is un plus an equine, the second one is un plus where you live.

7:08 am

player girl

Ah, thank you. The first one (the equine) is from the other u, but I got the 2nd.

7:09 am

Haz1558

Good, glad you got them, sorry for misleading, I sometimes get mixed up with where the words come from,

7:09 am

Jeanius421

Today is like a feeding frenzy after the last several puny grids

7:10 am

Haz1558

I know, I enjoy big grids where you can get lots of words quickly.

Well, time for me to go, enjoy this large grid!

7:38 am

7:55 am

MollyL

Again, it would be nice if we could have a "clue free" chat option. It's too bad people have to hide the chat because they want to try and find words on their own.

8:03 am

mattygroves

Did you know that the game Clue is called Cluedo in the UK?

8:07 am

MollyL

These grids are definitely pissier some days than they are others.

9:08 am

hokie carla

9:10 am

BzznBea

Any grid with two re's in it is pissier.

9:12 am

hokie carla

10:50 am

hokie carla

hokie carla

what if you missed some spots skinning your deer, wouldn't you do it again?

11:00 am

marksdolly

LOL

11:00 am

hokie carla

11:01 am

hokie carla

see, mine are less weird than some acceptable re words

11:01 am

marksdolly

moolingwa

5:04 pm

hokie carla

nuage

5:04 pm

Trifioso

more nu4. how can you be so? You are either nu4 or you are not

5:04 pm

moolingwa

perhaps it's someone who nu4s ;)

5:05 pm

hokie carla

like being more pregnant. or more dead.

5:05 pm

moolingwa

heh

5:05 pm

jbp

or more unique

5:05 pm

Trifioso

exactly, hokie!

5:05 pm

moolingwa

well you can have deader than last week's stew

5:05 pm

moolingwa

used in a figurative sense

5:06 pm

hokie carla

deader than a doornail. not sure what a doornail is or how dead it is.

5:06 pm

gingentle

holy bat poop, Batman!

5:06 pm

hurshy

but the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile

5:06 pm

moolingwa

I like using literally in a figurative sense

5:07 pm

Trifioso

which reminds me - if you have netflix, I HIGHLY recommend "The History of swear words" - very, very entertaining and perfect for word nerds!

5:07 pm

hokie carla

that's acceptable these days

5:07 pm

moolingwa

no sh4?

5:07 pm

Trifioso

lol mooling, you will LOVE it

5:07 pm

hokie carla

the figurative literally, I am referring to

5:08 pm

moolingwa

I am figuratively confused

5:08 pm

moolingwa

:)

5:08 pm

hokie carla

my brain is in unuse right now, can't find anything

5:09 pm

Trifioso

ah, hokie, I know that feeling well - I call it "gridlock"

5:09 pm

jbp

well it's a good thing I come for the banter here. ;-)

5:09 pm

moolingwa

if you went to a nu6 colony, would you be a conu4?

5:10 pm

moolingwa

if you disarm someone would you degun them?

5:10 pm

hokie carla

makes me think of tobias funke, a nevernu4

5:10 pm

Trifioso

I was JUST going to say that, hokie!!!

5:10 pm

moolingwa

I get asked a lot if tobias is my name

5:11 pm

JaxH66

I even tried unuse to see if it was in the grid after you typed it Hokie ðŸ¤£

5:11 pm

moolingwa

not been asked whether funke is my name

5:11 pm

moolingwa

for the record, it's not

5:11 pm

hokie carla

so you are toby? or people just randomly ask if your name is tobias

5:12 pm

moolingwa

that would be pretty funny

5:12 pm

moolingwa

you kind of look like a tobias...is that your name?

5:13 pm

hokie carla

are you an analyst/therapist? (didn't want to raise the ire of people with tobias's real description)

5:13 pm

moolingwa

no, I work in IT

5:13 pm

moolingwa

oh found my last n word

5:14 pm

hokie carla

I'm guessing you have no idea what show it is since you don't watch TV.

5:14 pm

jbp

if it's the one in the top right, I could use a clue. ;-)

5:14 pm

moolingwa

that would be correct

5:14 pm

hokie carla

I still need 2 N words

5:14 pm

moolingwa

well coincidentally my last word started with no...which I had just typed

5:15 pm

moolingwa

and now my last o

5:15 pm

hokie carla

well, just make a portmanteau in your head for analyst therapist

5:15 pm

Trifioso

wow - sooo many c's

5:15 pm

hokie carla

jbp, top right n is NI4

5:16 pm

moolingwa

oops, almost typed it

5:16 pm

hokie carla

oh, just made up 2 c words that took

5:16 pm

jbp

thy Carla

5:16 pm

moolingwa

still 7 C's to go...29 over all

5:17 pm

hokie carla

67 total. still 11 c's

5:17 pm

moolingwa

6 Cs

5:22 pm

hokie carla

ooh, I have the windows open and just heard the owl for the first time in months

5:23 pm

moolingwa

actually 9 C's...not sure what I was doing there

5:23 pm

hurshy

hoo hoo

5:23 pm

moolingwa

My room is like 82...outside is like 32

5:23 pm

hokie carla

have one U from each tile left and I'm assuming it's that combo I can't find.

5:24 pm

hurshy

75% vowels

5:24 pm

hokie carla

hurshy, this was the "who cooks, who cooks for you" type owl.

5:24 pm

moolingwa

you got the u5/14?

5:24 pm

hokie carla

67 still here

5:24 pm

moolingwa

and I assume you have two u7s

5:25 pm

hokie carla

no, I can't get the un5/14 even though I know it's mostly vowels.

5:25 pm

Trifioso

i am fighting so hard to stay awake, and it is only just dinner time! Just wiped out tired today

5:25 pm

moolingwa

well then maybe you're missing the u4 off the center u, and need to make it plural off the left u

5:25 pm

hurshy

name that proper noun! czech capital

5:25 pm

hokie carla

and I meant 67F outside. I have 65 words left.

5:25 pm

moolingwa

I

5:25 pm

moolingwa

Feels like my week has been like that too Trif

5:26 pm

Trifioso

thank you

5:26 pm

hokie carla

that's exactly right, moo. but still can't seem to figure it out.

5:26 pm

moolingwa

had 12 consecutive conference calls yesterday

5:26 pm

moolingwa

it's a babblet

5:26 pm

Trifioso

oh thats just gross mooling

5:27 pm

moolingwa

only 10 consecutive today, though more 1 hour ones

5:27 pm

hokie carla

yeah, sounds yucky

5:27 pm

hokie carla

we played disc golf with the oldest in this beautiful weather, so that was nice.

5:27 pm

moolingwa

Oh actually I misremembered...Tuesday was the 12 calls, yesrterday was only like 5

5:28 pm

moolingwa

disc golf sounds nice, we have a few courses in town

5:28 pm

Trifioso

hokie, I have only recently learned of this activity! I pass this strange contraption on a front lawn every day to work, and just recently learned it has something to do with disc golf

5:29 pm

hokie carla

we used to play a lot before kids and even took them a lot in a jogging stroller but then quit for many years.

5:29 pm

moolingwa

had some friends that did it, and they also played ultimate frisbee nationally

5:29 pm

hurshy

twas popular at my college

5:29 pm

hokie carla

the oldest has gotten into it and I thought winston would love it too, so I got some new discs and have gone out a few times. did not take winston today as I guessed correctly, it was super muddy.

5:30 pm

hokie carla

I played ultimate a few times in college but never since

5:30 pm

moolingwa

we've got about 4 inches of snow on the ground thanks to last night, so would be a slog today

5:31 pm

hokie carla

finally monkeyed those u's!

5:31 pm

moolingwa

unbelievable

5:31 pm

moolingwa

and now you know what they are :)

5:32 pm

moolingwa

27 left

5:32 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I think we're way over on rain totals right now, so even though we've had 3 straight days of sun and 70+ degrees, it was still crazy mud out there.

5:32 pm

hokie carla

yeah, will probably never see those u's again

5:32 pm

moolingwa

quite bogly I imagine

5:33 pm

moolingwa

so...if you dig up a grave...you'd disinter right...so if you tipped out the ashes, then you'd disurn

5:34 pm

hurshy

they seal those things up pretty tight

5:34 pm

moolingwa

probably a good thing

5:34 pm

Trifioso

hahahah i tried disurn as well!

5:34 pm

hokie carla

there was one section that they had put down a bunch of gravel and it was sunk down in the mud like it was quicksand or something

5:34 pm

hokie carla

not to be confused with discern

5:35 pm

moolingwa

equine tattoos are so obviously horseink

5:35 pm

hokie carla

green bananas are underipe

5:36 pm

Trifioso

some of my relatives are kissier than others

5:36 pm

moolingwa

well if you add an r, you'd be grammatically and babbly correct

5:36 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah, my wife's family on her fathers side are cuban...much more kissy

5:37 pm

moolingwa

as opposed to the Northern Wisconsin side

5:37 pm

hokie carla

nope, even with the r added it's not on enable

5:37 pm

moolingwa

ah, must've got added later

5:38 pm

moolingwa

Hi all. Back to try to get half way. Doubt i will.

6:45 pm

mkg

Any clues for the 9s? I have none of them.

6:45 pm

periwinkle

I am more than half way but it is tough even with the list

6:45 pm

penquis

agreed...

6:46 pm

penquis

6:51 pm

penquis

well after one swing through the list, I still have 14 to find...

6:56 pm

mkg

I have re 6 that is to make metal money again. But dont see a 9..........

6:59 pm

penquis

think of THE making of metal money again....the six has a three letter ending...

7:00 pm

mkg

Got it. Great clue pen. Ty.

7:01 pm

mkg

I am still missing the two u words for the first column U. Any clues?

7:01 pm

penquis

7:02 pm

mkg

Ty. Is there anyother U in the words?

7:04 pm

penquis

Huh? What i mean is does the un 4 and 5 from that first column u have the other u in the word?

7:06 pm

mkg

Never mind just found them. Ty.

7:06 pm

penquis

so you want me to give you three out of the four letters?

7:07 pm

penquis

good

7:07 pm

MollyL

That's pretty much the way it goes in this situation. Spoon feeding.

7:08 pm

mkg

Sorry about the clues.

7:09 pm

penquis

no problem, but i usually don't clue four letter words other than give the stats....they are monkeyable, so to speak...

7:09 pm

mkg

I never recall that word before. Sorry.it is an animal and i just didnt know it.

7:09 pm

penquis

i think we have had it...didn't know what it was myself....just played around with the letters until one word stuck...

7:13 pm

MollyL

That is a good way to play this game. Just fool around with the possible letters (I don't use "monkey"...it is so over used) until you find a word.

7:17 pm

penquis

though i must cconfess... i have asked for a five letter word to be clued before....when i was at the end of my rope... ;o)

7:17 pm

penquis

7:27 pm

Annette

Thought I'd let you all know that LIfelock alerted me that the password and email address I use for this site was found on the dark web in a list scammers use to try on other sites, because people often reuse passwords. I only used that combination on this site but I changed my password anyway. In case the password list for this site has been hacked, you might want to change your password, too, especially if you use the same log-in and password elsewhere. Thanks for all the clues. This lurker appreciates them. Cheers!

7:27 pm

periwinkle

new one for me

7:27 pm

penquis

find it, peri?

7:28 pm

penquis

thanks, Annette...i changed mine a while ago...don't use it anywhere else....

7:28 pm

periwinkle

yes, I said I got it at 7:27

7:29 pm

penquis

oh....guess i was typing when it appeared...

7:29 pm

penquis

gotta go...have a lot of work to do on the Spelling Bee and haven't started the crossword....goodnight all....

7:29 pm

periwinkle

the medical cloth helped me find it

7:30 pm

MollyL

This site is not secure. It is beyond me why people still post their email addresses in their profiles.

7:30 pm

periwinkle

nite pen

7:33 pm

hokie carla

well, people don't post their password in their profiles but it both can still be stolen because it's not secure. so, definitely don't use this password anywhere else.

7:54 pm
