5:07 am
ItalianGreyhound
UN 7 avoided the bees
5:51 am
Scrabbler
I found the darn needlecase(s.) I usually miss that word.
5:53 am
ItalianGreyhound
Hi Scrabbler - Feeble grid. that was prob the toughest word
5:54 am
Haz1558
It's interesting that in European labelled packaging, that et4 is also used for things like cases for tablets, or pocket computers.
5:55 am
Scrabbler
Interesting, Haz.
5:55 am
Haz1558
However, for babble purposes, that et4 will forever be known as the needlecase.
5:56 am
ItalianGreyhound
has it become a babblet ?
5:57 am
Scrabbler
I would say yes.
5:57 am
Haz1558
Well, it depends on how you define a babblet. I think the original thought was that it was a word that appeared regularly in the grid, but almost never in real life. Nowadays, the label seems to be applied to any unusual word.
5:57 am
Haz1558
It probably would be classed as a babblet by both camps.
5:57 am
Scrabbler
I have seen et4 in crossword puzzles.
5:58 am
ItalianGreyhound
I kinda agree. to me babblets are strange little words that defy definition, at least to me
5:58 am
Scrabbler
Do you have the F?
5:59 am
Haz1558
French tailoring experts who play babble would say it's a commonplace word and is not a babblet. I don't know if we have any of them!
5:59 am
Haz1558
I am missing one F, Scrabbler.
6:00 am
ItalianGreyhound
plural Haz ?
6:00 am
Haz1558
I have two plurals so far.
6:00 am
doseffing
greek cheese
6:01 am
Haz1558
Got all the f words now.
6:01 am
ItalianGreyhound
One F ends in 3rd letter
6:01 am
Haz1558
Sometimes you just need to look.
6:01 am
ItalianGreyhound
okay good
6:01 am
Scrabbler
That Greek cheese is a word I frequently miss.
6:06 am
Scrabbler
13 left and I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
6:06 am
Haz1558
You too, Scrabbler. The sun is finally shining here.
6:07 am
Haz1558
And I should be all disciplined and leave as well. Enjoy the grid. Bye for now!
