Robespierre

Good morning! Banging my head unsuccessfully looking for the longer words. Can anyone tell me which â€œIâ€™ is the starting point for the in/9?

8:27 am

hurshy

you're lucky you still have a head to bang

8:28 am

Robespierre

Heh. Guess we need to find our blessings where we can

8:28 am

MLFAN17

no idea

8:28 am

hurshy

just couldn't resist a guillotine joke

8:29 am

Robespierre

Doh! First I couldnâ€™t find the long words, then a guillotine joke flew right over my, um, head. I need another cup of coffee!

8:30 am

welki

the middle i, robespierre

8:31 am

Robespierre

Thanks, Welki! That should at least narrow it down a bit.

8:31 am

welki

no no - the middle i in the last column

8:31 am

hurshy

i can't get long words by seeking long words, i have to just play and if they come, they come

8:31 am

MLFAN17

i try both ways

8:32 am

Robespierre

I usually do a pass through the whole thing, then if Iâ€™m really short on the longer words (so to speak), Iâ€™ll go back and hunt for them, often using Licketyâ€™s clues as a starting point.

8:33 am

welki

did you find it, robespierre? sorry about the first misdirection

8:33 am

MLFAN17

i havent found it

8:33 am

Robespierre

Nope! I appreciated the quick clarification; I wasnâ€™t lead astray. Iâ€™m about ready to give up, though.

8:35 am

Robespierre

Yeah, looks like itâ€™s just not happening today. Iâ€™m heading out; have a lovely day everyone!

Hi all. This grid makes me think of Little Rabbit Foo Foo.

11:36 am

11:41 am

joym999

that phantom inning is driving me crazy...it HAS to be there, with all those Ns.

11:42 am

joym999

hi nan...what's the splash for

11:47 am

joym999

It's odd that when you get the "Word couldn't be added..." error message, the time stamp shows up in your local time, but the rest of the chatterbox is in central time.

11:53 am

MollyL

For some strange reason, people pretend they are splashing into a pool when they start these grids. It's like poof and monkeys and Babblets. Weird lingo from time long ago.

11:58 am

cybernan

hi joy - just diving in

11:58 am

ItalianGreyhound

best word in this grid for me is of course the NI 7/28

11:59 am

ItalianGreyhound

"clueless' still number one

12:05 pm

cybernan

through the chat and the grid once. Still don't have that th 7-8 combo but just have th 4-5 x2 and dauber says there are 4 of them

12:06 pm

ItalianGreyhound

the th words build off the last th 4/5

12:07 pm

cybernan

haven't listed - is that the skinny one?

12:07 pm

ItalianGreyhound

no its kind of a babblet

12:09 pm

cybernan

have a 4 that sounds like a nickname for roosevelt

12:09 pm

ItalianGreyhound

that's it - go from there

12:09 pm

ItalianGreyhound

add a #

12:10 pm

ItalianGreyhound

number

12:11 pm

cybernan

ty found the 7-8, but not the 5 that goes with it

12:11 pm

ItalianGreyhound

don't think there is one. anyone?

12:12 pm

ItalianGreyhound

the last 3 th words are 4,7,8

12:13 pm

cybernan

oh - one of the first clues was that it builds from the last th 4-5, so thought there was a 5 -- i Guess they were giving the stats as 4-5 instead of 4/5 -- we need to standardize here

12:14 pm

ItalianGreyhound

glad you got them

12:44 pm

1:27 pm

joym999

I've got one of the two GO7s, the one that's part of the monster set, but I don't see the other. Clues?

1:32 pm

Uneaixoise

I need it too!

1:37 pm

joym999

Can't find the IO7 either. ðŸ˜¥

1:38 pm

NANCY

IO 7 is plural of one above it

1:40 pm

mattygroves

I only have 1 io - and that's the usual 4...

1:40 pm

joym999

I don't have the one before it either. I also just have the puny little IO4.

1:40 pm

joym999

I know they must be related but I can't figure out how.

1:42 pm

joym999

got it by monkeying around...there's a number mixed in there.

1:42 pm

NANCY

I0 + i gave all my money away and then i had ....

1:42 pm

mattygroves

A small number or a slightly bigger number?

1:43 pm

mattygroves

Thanks - got it now!

1:43 pm

NANCY

.... left

1:44 pm

joym999

someone said earlier that there's an IN7/8/9/8 combo. Do they all come from the same I?

1:48 pm

zoozzoom

Yes.

1:48 pm

joym999

ty zoom

1:49 pm

zoozzoom

I can tell you what the larger ones end in if you want.

1:50 pm

joym999

yes, please, as I'm going nowhere

1:50 pm

zoozzoom

If you had a ruler you could draw a straight one.

1:53 pm

zoozzoom

Or in + the first two letters of a word for a fight between to people. Then the rest I already clued.

1:53 pm

zoozzoom

two people*

1:54 pm

joym999

Got it, thanks, zooz. No idea what it means, though.

1:54 pm

zoozzoom

The smaller ones are very similar just take away some letters.

2:15 pm

I still need that GO7 and the LI7 too

2:52 pm

Uneaixoise

Go7 most sticky

2:52 pm

joym999

ty, une. I should have thought of that!

2:54 pm

joym999

lingonberry is a word, but not lingon. Even through straw, rasp, black, and blue are words.

2:56 pm

Gillie

Lingon is a word in Swedish, but I guess when we brought it into English, we felt the need to add "berry".

2:58 pm

joym999

So is "lingon" the word for the berry in Swedish?

2:58 pm

joym999

BTW I love your icon.

2:58 pm

hurshy

welcome to our new show, "Gillie Knows Everything"

2:59 pm

Gillie

I think it's the word for the plant. In English we use lingonberry for both the plant and the berry.

2:59 pm

Gillie

Actually, it's "Gillie likes to Google stuff"

2:59 pm

joym999

It's handy to have someone about who knows everything.

3:00 pm

joym999

Gillie likes to Google stuff for those of us who are too lazy to do it themselves.

3:00 pm

origami

Those i's were tough!

3:02 pm

joym999

they were tough

3:03 pm

Gillie

I've just started trying to figure out the last four

3:05 pm

Gillie

Actually, I was able to monkey them pretty quickly once I looked at the list (and knowing that they were related)

3:06 pm

Gillie

I had no clue before that

3:34 pm

Dear goodness...my last word was th4 because of course, I THOUGHT I TYPED THAT! Good grief.
