Not a very favorable board, tonight. After months of not playing, I come back to a board like this. No shock, I guess.
I think I'm done for tonight.

Well, I lied. No surprise there. I never leave on the first note. Guess I can say that the best I could find were seven letters, two of them, both worth 40. Good luck everyone! See you tomorrow for the finish.

Good night to you (it's morning here). You missed two nice grids, yesterday and the day before. Hope next round will be more fun for you.

55 words, 5 x 6 now. Haven't yet found CJ's 7s. Can't be a big grid, nothing really interesting yet either. Guess we got spoiled, the last 2 days. ;-)

Yet another 8: N8/55 - roundworm.

2:58 am

svejk

thanks for the clues sprite, I have found the 8s but still working on the 7s -- will have to resume tomorrow. On another note, on a recent trip to Amsterdam, I enjoyed watching (and only watching) Japanese cartoons dubbed in Dutch :)
good night!

8:06 am

Are there really two P 8s? One for 60 and one for 90?

I've got a rather useful N 8 - I use them in my garden ;)

Treble99

8:10 am

Treble99

P8/90 I have found

8:11 am

Wendrie

That is the one I've found - I'd find it in my garden but I suspect some people find it reminds them of a tv programme ;)

5:30 pm

starchaser

Do a lot of people playing babble get all the words from knowing the words or do they get help from sites/people? or both? Just a thought running through my mind.

6:36 pm

periwinkle

I have two of the 8 letter words, the worm and the plant. May I have a clue for the last one.

6:46 pm

starchaser

I'm stuck on it too. :-(

6:59 pm

starchaser

got it! it is a P/5/14 with a grown boy added on to the end. hope that helps.

7:15 pm

fit1

what a great clue, star :) Thanks

7:21 pm

starchaser

NP :-)

8:47 pm

Charli

Argh. What is the second letter of the P8 TV show/garden thing? I don't garden or watch much TV. I'm thinking also the TV series may be different here in Canada. Anyhow, please help??

8:53 pm

starchaser

It's a Po. It's not the actual name of the show, but close to it, and it contains two words that can be counted as two seperate words in the puzzle. (1st part: something you do to someone to get their attention or to annoy them, 2nd: a plant that sometimes just won't die no matter what you do to it. pesky little suckers). . .
Hope that helps, and hope it wasn't too much of a clue. . if it is and it's a no-no here, Sorry.

8:53 pm

periwinkle

PO

8:55 pm

periwinkle

The only p/5 I have is point. May I have a clue for the correct p/5. Thanks.

8:55 pm

Charli

Got it finally! Thank you Peri and Star...I finally figured it out. I had gone down that road a few times, but being unfamiliar with the item itself, kept missing it!!!

9:00 pm

periwinkle

starchaser, what is the second letter of the P word, I obvioiusly do not have the correct P/5.

9:02 pm

Charli

Peri, are you looking for the P8? or another P5?

9:05 pm

periwinkle

I alread have the P/8 that is a plant. I am looking for the second P/8 which starts with a P/5. I only have one P/5 and do not think it is the right one.

9:06 pm

fixitfmly

peri -- both begin PO
P8/60 -- the guys out in front
p8/90 -- A tall North American plant (Phytolacca americana) having small white flowers, blackish-red berries clustered on long drooping racemes, and a poisonous root.

9:06 pm

periwinkle

Not liking this puzzle much. Stuck at 85. :(

9:07 pm

periwinkle

Make that 82.

9:09 pm

starchaser

P/5 hint for the P/8: something you do to show direction, or to show a specific person/thing far away, or to pick something by a hand motion. this P/5 can have letters added on to make a P/6,7, and the P/8.

9:10 pm

starchaser

58 more to go. . :-) Let's see if I can finish this one.

9:11 pm

periwinkle

Finally got the 2nd P/8. I had the idea but kept trying the singular ending.

9:17 pm

Charli

Ooh, sorry Periwinkle. Have three year old, must potty train...
Wasn't ignoring you, really. Glad you found the P8.
