Amazing how much easier it is to do the puzzle when I'm awake. Last night at midnight I just couldn't see anything.
12:55 pm
joym999
The UN5 is a math kind of word
12:56 pm
hokie carla
true, joy. and usually at 1am(for me) I literally can't see on my ipad unless I have readers on
12:56 pm
hokie carla
thank you, looking now
12:56 pm
hokie carla
not unarc as I have tried that more than once
12:57 pm
joym999
where I live flip occurs at 10 pm so I keeping thinking I can finish at night, but no...
12:58 pm
joym999
unarc is close, though
12:58 pm
hokie carla
it's 1am for me so I really have no business staying up that late. :D
1:00 pm
hurshy
oHO it is a un5/16
1:02 pm
hokie carla

1:02 pm
hokie carla

1:04 pm
hokie carla
anyone want to guess my missing L?
1:06 pm
hokie carla

1:08 pm
hokie carla

1:08 pm
hurshy

1:08 pm
hurshy

1:08 pm
hurshy

1:08 pm
hokie carla

G S P H
1:19 pm
moolingwa
GH for me
1:20 pm
hokie carla
what was the P, please?
1:20 pm
moolingwa
an adverb that doesn't seem like it'd be an adverb
1:20 pm
moolingwa
hasbeer - an aging star who is wallowing in alcohol
1:20 pm
hokie carla
I have a p adverb already. P5? legit word
1:21 pm
moolingwa
then perhaps "father"
1:21 pm
hokie carla
nope, that is a usual suspect but I found it today
1:21 pm
moolingwa
you're missing a 5?
1:21 pm
moolingwa
noodles?
1:22 pm
hokie carla
2x4, 1x5, 1x7
1:22 pm
moolingwa
oh, then may be a 4...
1:22 pm
moolingwa
top of head-y
1:22 pm
hokie carla
it was a 4, lumber company, no idea what the def is
1:23 pm
hokie carla
so, yes, that one
1:23 pm
moolingwa
found by g...should've had that one earlier
1:23 pm
hokie carla
4 5 or 7?
1:24 pm
moolingwa
based on my list of interests
1:24 pm
hokie carla
or I'm missing a different G
1:24 pm
moolingwa
I guess the piece of ice that took down the titanic is now a hasberg
1:24 pm
hokie carla
so the 7 is definitely an H?
1:26 pm
hokie carla
that girl hastyle
1:26 pm
moolingwa
and that athlete hadrace
1:27 pm
hokie carla
I have tried hadrace at least 3x
1:27 pm
hokie carla
so my G & S are either 4 or 5
1:27 pm
moolingwa
found it
1:28 pm
moolingwa
Could be a motto for Texas I guess ;)
1:28 pm
hokie carla

nicely done
1:30 pm
hokie carla

1:30 pm
moolingwa
tx, no clues today...which was nice...but an easier board
1:30 pm
moolingwa
the g5s are all common words
1:30 pm
hokie carla
I guess somewhat easier but still a lot of work for me to get this far
1:31 pm
moolingwa
there's one s5 that is uncommon
1:31 pm
moolingwa
well there's 158 words...that's work
1:31 pm
hokie carla
sa5/14?
1:31 pm
moolingwa
yeah...think Puck
1:32 pm
hokie carla
I have an sa5/14
1:32 pm
hokie carla
I think I only saw one clue today that led to a pair
1:33 pm
hokie carla
oh, forgot the UN help
1:34 pm
moolingwa
oh, you have sa5/14
1:34 pm
hurshy
am i having a mis-remembering moment or do people used "tanked" to mean drunk?
1:34 pm
moolingwa
it's true hursh
1:34 pm
hokie carla
they do
1:35 pm
moolingwa
so what are you missing then hoke
1:35 pm
hokie carla
LOL, no idea. S or G, 4 or 5
1:35 pm
hokie carla
have literally tried every possible 4 from both
1:35 pm
hurshy
gr5, a bird, perhaps?
1:35 pm
hurshy
that's a 5/18
1:36 pm
mkg

1:36 pm
hokie carla

1:37 pm
hurshy

1:37 pm
hurshy
not a plane or superman
1:38 pm
moolingwa
that was the one I said I should've found earlier based on my interests :)

1:38 pm

1:38 pm
hokie carla
yes, I just put that together. :D
1:39 pm
mkg
Please send me a clue for the U. Ty.
1:39 pm
moolingwa
they all start with the same 2 letters mkg, but only one of them is a "not" word
1:40 pm
mkg
Ty. Stats please. That should help. Ty
1:40 pm
hokie carla
on a call now!
1:41 pm
moolingwa
un 4/5, un 5/16 and un 4/18
1:41 pm
moolingwa
actually none of them are "not" words :)
1:42 pm
mkg
Ugh. Ty. Struggling.
1:42 pm
moolingwa
first one is a babblet
1:42 pm
mkg
Just got a un 4 8
1:42 pm
moolingwa
second one sounds like a singular organization/body
1:43 pm
moolingwa
ah yes, sorry wrote the stats wrong on the last one
1:43 pm
hokie carla
ah, found the S!
1:43 pm
moolingwa
I'm guessing that is pantaloons for one legged folks
1:43 pm
moolingwa
nice hoke
1:44 pm
mkg
Got the un 4 5. Awful words.
1:45 pm
hokie carla
you'd think I could monkey this g5
1:46 pm
mkg
Missing other tiles too. Darn. Not an easy grid.
1:50 pm
hurshy

1:51 pm
hokie carla
well I tried greeb 3 times before that clue
1:51 pm
hurshy
you have the letters out of order
1:52 pm
hokie carla
aha, thanks. never have seen that before.
1:52 pm
hurshy
it is a bird
1:52 pm
hokie carla
so, FW, minimal help today, but thanks to the helpers
1:52 pm
mkg
Any clues for the Y third column? Thanks.
1:52 pm
hurshy
chinese currency
1:53 pm
hokie carla
I've heard it's a bird
1:53 pm
mkg
Yuen is chinese money so why wont it take it??/
1:53 pm
hurshy
spelling it wrong
1:53 pm
mkg
The chinese spell it with the E. This stupid grid says another vowel. But the chinese are right.
1:53 pm
mkg
Anyway i got it. Ty
1:54 pm
hurshy
the chinese spell it with their own characters
1:54 pm
mkg
Last blank is no sevens yet. Stats welcome.
1:54 pm
hurshy
it is nonsensical to say they spell it with an e, and i've only ever seen it spelled with an a
1:55 pm
hurshy
i just got my first 7, it's st and it's an adverb
1:55 pm
mkg
I just got that one too huyrshy. T
1:59 pm
hokie carla
1 is a plural
2:00 pm
moolingwa
I've only even known it to be spelled the way it is in the dictionary. If you go to currency sites like xe.com they spell it that way
2:00 pm
moolingwa
But given that you're translating from another character set and language, then I can imagine there are multiple spellings
2:08 pm
hurshy
plural... what does it start with?
2:12 pm
hurshy
oh good i need that pair to grey the top
2:28 pm
moolingwa
the last 7 is the toughest one

5:04 pm
mty
Whoops!!
Well, it is a word made up by me anyway. You won't find it in the puzzle, just to clarify ;)
5:14 pm
hurshy
ugh, and then you have those times where you're just missing one little T4 and it shouldn't be hard yet you simply cannot find it
5:15 pm
mty
Is it the ty4, if I may ask?
5:15 pm
mty
If it is, that's kind of funny - because I am stuck on one of those right now!
5:15 pm
hurshy
well, idk, i have 2 ty4, so it depends on whether there is a third one
5:15 pm
mty
Oh. Nevermind. :)
5:16 pm
mty
I am just struggling with a simple one, then
5:16 pm
mty
Haha!
I wish I could help you!
5:16 pm
hurshy
one is actress Daly
5:16 pm
hurshy
the other is an alt (Brit) spelling of the rubber thing on your car
5:17 pm
mty
I believe it was the one associated with your first clue
5:18 pm
mty
Man. I admit a bunch of these I didn't know are even words
5:18 pm
hurshy
i've seen her live in a theater, she's amazing
5:18 pm
hurshy
yeah that's how i felt when i first joined the site. you think you know most words and then there are all these weird things
5:18 pm
mty
I honestly am not familiar with the name
5:18 pm
mty
That is so neat :)
5:18 pm
mty
I need to look her up
5:19 pm
hurshy
i guess she's most famous for Cagney and Lacey
5:19 pm
hurshy
she was in "Christy" too
5:19 pm

and i saw her in an adaptation of The Importance of Being Earnest

You must be on the other side of the world from where I am

Whereabouts are you all located, if I may pry?

Yes - in Australia - 9.21 am where I am

Babble is the only one of these games I play - no time for others. I like it for the game and because it's generally friendly.

hokie carla

5:36 pm
hokie carla

6:43 pm

greeting, Book Doctor!!
6:43 pm

6:43 pm

wazap mty ??
6:44 pm
mty
Man. I feel like a real cheat taking great advantage of Lickety split's Clues
6:44 pm
mty
Am I the only one who can only make reasonable progress with the aide of Lickety's Clues?
6:44 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
lots of us use Lickety -- I try to get about 2/3 done by myself first though LOL
6:44 pm
hokie carla
look at it as a learning tool. the more you play the less you'll need to use it.
6:44 pm
pam
SueFrad is my sister. She lives part-time in NC, part-time in FL.
6:45 pm
mty
That's a lot of hard work you put in!!
6:45 pm
hokie carla
then it probably was her!
6:45 pm
mty
Especially compared to me
6:45 pm
mty
How long have you played here?
6:45 pm
pam
I have met a few people in person, at a meet-up once, and then a few others and I have been babbling for 16 years.
6:46 pm
mty
Does it really take a lot of practice, or am I just a lot dimmer than I thought I was?
6:46 pm
mty
I guess that's unfair to ask here. You might need to actually know me to answer that!
6:46 pm
pam
Everyone Babbles differently! I don't list at all, or use Lickety and never have. I rarely finish, usually get half done, and I am good with that.
6:47 pm
hokie carla
looks like I started in 2005, but I played for many years and then took quite a few off and just came back about 3 years ago(?). it was really rough when I came back at first, so I made a goal of trying to finish a certain % before using the list.
6:48 pm
hokie carla
I still like to use the list because I'm dying to know what I couldn't find and hope to learn new words and then hopefully I'll remember them next time.
6:49 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
the more you play, the more you learn the weird little words that show up a lot, and your brain gets better at seeing the longer words too
6:49 pm
hokie carla
but have not needed it 2 or 3 times this week
6:51 pm
mty
Thank you all for the encouragement. :)
6:51 pm
mty
I really cannot emphasize that enough
6:51 pm
mty
I'll get there one day.
