m9f9l

The monkeyed one means "regular alternation in the internal phonological structure of a word element, especially alternation of a vowel, that is coordinated with a change in grammatical function or combination"

Earlier, someone said it was easy. I beg to differ.

7:34 am

BzznBea

I thought yesterdays was difficult.

7:42 am

MollyL

I think most of them are difficult, considering the obscure words that Enable allows. But I am not the word genius that some who play here are.

7:48 am

MLFAN17

10:10 am

cybernan

10:14 am

MLFAN17

10:14 am

MollyL

There is an ab6, then an ab6 ab7 then another ab6

10:14 am

cybernan

clue please, mlf?

10:15 am

MLFAN17

regular alternation in the internal phonological structure of a word element, especially alternation of a vowel, that is coordinated with a change in grammatical function or combination

oh - was looking for a clue, not a def

10:15 am

MLFAN17

ar 6-7 -- similar to the tree that loses it's bark

10:24 am

cybernan

ty molly

10:24 am

hokie carla

trying to think of a tree that loses its bark

10:25 am

cybernan

you see them all over the lower mainland and Vancouver Island

10:25 am

hokie carla

when we were camping a couple of weeks ago there was a tree that was dropping big pieces all over. the people next to us said it was a sycamore but it didn't look like I was thinking it would

10:25 am

cybernan

no not a sycamore

10:25 am

MollyL

We have a place named that in Maryland

10:26 am

MLFAN17

MollyL

The A tree word

10:26 am

cybernan

there is a street named that in Vancouver

10:26 am

hokie carla

oh, I associated with denver I think

10:26 am

hokie carla

not denver, but CO

10:26 am

cybernan

I even said it was my phantom when I first signed on :)

10:27 am

hokie carla

and associated = associate it. not sure how that happened

10:27 am

hokie carla

wait, what am I looking for?

10:28 am

MLFAN17

an ar word that is a tree that loses its bark or the ar word sounds like it i am not sure either

10:29 am

hokie carla

ok, must have the wrong A tree then because can't see how to make that possible

10:29 am

MollyL

It is an ar word that SOUNDS like the tree word

10:29 am

cybernan

the ar 6-7 that comes from the first col. a is the one I'm talking about

10:29 am

rururocks

they're beautiful trees really

12:11 pm

BzznBea

I thought Fred Flinstone used that word?

12:11 pm

doseffing

pic a nic basket

12:12 pm

MollyL

Fred Flintstone said the one that starts with Yabba

12:13 pm

maccafixx

12:13 pm

Who knows, maybe all Hanna Barbara characters sound alike to some folks

12:14 pm

doseffing

... there were only about three people doing all the voices

12:17 pm

hokie carla

I have no idea on the actual word

12:18 pm

dcseain

oh, diapers, ta!

12:18 pm

MollyL

And yet Yogi and Fred did not have the same person doing their voice. Carla, it is the in6 that you said you had that part of your shoulder worked on

12:18 pm

dcseain

ooh, diaper got me three! thanks!

12:19 pm

MollyL

Oops, no that was the la6. It's in + the middle of what Fred said

12:19 pm

hokie carla

MollyL

There are no BL words

12:52 pm

hokie carla

I think one B was a Halle Berry movie, but the actual def is a british roll.

12:55 pm

sammysmom

having to know the name of every friggin coin of every country is getting to be a pain in the ass. thks game is not fun any more.

1:00 pm

joym999

That doesn't seem logical to me. You're implying that this game USED to be fun, but the name of every friggin coin of every country has ALWAYS been in the dictionary.

1:01 pm

joym999

Also, I can think of a very, very easy solution to the problem of playing a game that is not fun.

1:01 pm

maccafixx

need the 3rd pa 6/24?

1:02 pm

mkg

Hi all. Any clues for the 9? And stat please. Ty.

1:03 pm

hokie carla

1:03 pm

maccafixx

tr 9 past tense of the tr 6 before it

1:03 pm

sammysmom

hokie carla

1:05 pm

hokie carla

maybe that one and I need another before it

1:05 pm

mkg

Ty for tr. got it.

1:06 pm

mkg

I could use a clue for any 8 out there please. Ty.

1:07 pm

joym999

1:10 pm

mkg

If anyone has a stat for an 8 and a clue i would love it. Ty.

1:11 pm

hokie carla

1:11 pm

mkg

Oh ok.

1:12 pm

mkg

Ty got them and the present tense./ ty

1:15 pm

joym999

I'm having an impossible time with the A's. Is it my imagination or are they all hiding?

It was hard. I only have 4 so far.

1:16 pm

hokie carla

I have finished A's if y'all need specific help

1:17 pm

joym999

maybe later...I'm still plodding my way through the tiles.

1:17 pm

joym999

but I'm impressed that you have all the As

1:18 pm

hokie carla

35 left - T T B4 S4 i2 D3 P10 T3 P D3 R3. I recall even ru declared himself as far as he could go at 31 left, so I don't have much hope.

1:18 pm

hokie carla

the A's were a group effort earlier today if you want to go back in the chat

1:19 pm

joym999

I will, thanks carla. I usually do that after I go thru the tiles twice.

1:20 pm

hokie carla

1:22 pm

joym999

But do you really clean every day, Owl?

1:23 pm

welki

1:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

1:25 pm

mkg

Half way finally. Whew.

1:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

ablute is in merriam-webster. apparently not in enable.

1:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

ablution is a word.

1:27 pm

dcseain

the past form is in the grid, and in ENABLE

1:27 pm

dcseain

thanks, TO

1:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

why not the other forms? why? why? *headdesk*

1:28 pm

dcseain

agreed with you

1:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

why thank me?

1:29 pm

dcseain

i'd not have tried any form had you not mentioned it.

1:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh

1:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i still need90, too soon to list.

1:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

apparently there ae 3 more ab words.

1:33 pm

hokie carla

there's AB8 that sounds like maybe pavement if it skins your knee

1:35 pm

hokie carla

and there's an AB6/7 set, the 6 ends the same as a UM word that is the two dots over certain german letters

1:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok ty gtg

1:37 pm

MollyL

Okay, that german dots clue is a Babble word nerd clue if I ever saw one. Not sure how many people know that term.

1:37 pm

hokie carla

really? I thought that would be easy

1:38 pm

hokie carla

I had to google the def mlfan gave to find the word

1:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

umlaut?

1:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

probably language students

1:39 pm

hokie carla

yes, see TO knows it

1:39 pm

hokie carla

I thought that word was common knowledge. looks like the AB is german also so I reckon they're related

1:40 pm

MollyL

mlfan is all into copying and pasting definitions these days. Common knowledge? There are people who don't know what an ampersand is, let alone symbols in German.

1:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

my house is now an unholy mess. at least i just gained abou 19 words later

1:40 pm

hokie carla

umlaut, tilde,

1:41 pm

joym999

I would say that the word umlaut is common knowledge, but OTOH common knowledge is in the eye of the person who has that knowledge.

1:41 pm

hokie carla

I think it was dan here who told us the real name of the pound sign, which is now known as hashtag. what was that?

1:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

can't wait to clean. really.

1:42 pm

joym999

the number sign? ðŸ¤£

1:46 pm

hokie carla

no, it had another name

1:47 pm

hokie carla

paging dan2bit (I think it was you)

1:47 pm

hokie carla

google says octothorpe

1:48 pm

hokie carla

now that's some word nerdery ðŸ˜œ

2:07 pm

MollyL

I have to laugh when someone like Carla makes an effort not to put over half of a grid word in the chat and then people just start using the word.
: D

2:08 pm

joym999

Are there any PR words?

2:10 pm

Dorens

yes

2:11 pm

hokie carla

3:00 pm

hokie carla

4:04 pm

hokie carla

but this one is before the "bear"

4:04 pm

joym999

Oh, that helps. I thought it was before the chinese animal and I was looking for a PAB.

4:04 pm

hokie carla

4:05 pm

joym999

moolingwa

oh, thought you said there were 2 is8s

4:49 pm

hokie carla

whoops, I meant the 2 I was referring to were 8's, not 7's because I read the hurshy notation wrong

4:49 pm

moolingwa

almost antithetic :)

4:49 pm

moolingwa

oh

4:50 pm

hokie carla

4:54 pm

moolingwa

joym999

has there been some discussion of that AB7,8 combo? Did it fail to penetrate my thick head? Can someone rescue me from this fate?

5:05 pm

hokie carla

what if I spoiled it and told you there is a set of 5/6 after that 4 and I can't figure out how it's possible?

5:05 pm

hokie carla

not really a combo, joy

5:06 pm

moolingwa

I found the 5 hoke

5:06 pm

hokie carla

there are 2 ab7 and one ab8, none related

5:06 pm

joym999

you have what you do to the turkey, right? And where the turkey lives? And the British rolls?

5:06 pm

joym999

sigh. They're not related? Bleh.

5:06 pm

hokie carla

the 8 is something like pavement that causes a skinned knee

5:06 pm

moolingwa

the b5 is a currency of course

5:07 pm

hokie carla

okay, moo, how can I not get it?

5:07 pm

moolingwa

because it's a weird word

5:07 pm

moolingwa

it goes up

5:07 pm

joym999

I saw that clue before. That's the one that didn't penetrate. Asphalt?

5:08 pm

hokie carla

what's a fancier name for a skinned knee?

5:08 pm

hokie carla

5:09 pm

hokie carla

5:09 pm

moolingwa

5:09 pm

moolingwa

5:10 pm

eieios

5:10 pm

moolingwa

sounds like something that caused cuts joy

5:11 pm

moolingwa

or perhaps an adjective

5:11 pm

hokie carla

well, something that causes it has a different ending

5:11 pm

moolingwa

the ab8

5:11 pm

hokie carla

I think it's a noun form

5:11 pm

moolingwa

yes, "sounds" like it tho

5:11 pm

hokie carla

oh it can be an adj. if it has the quality to cause it

5:12 pm

hokie carla

and to make it easier, there's no S in it

5:12 pm

moolingwa

there's some weird words in this grid

5:13 pm

hokie carla

very. this is the hardest one we've had in a long time

5:13 pm

eieios

wow, now i am really confused!

moolingwa

bathed and um...well done other things in the bathroom ei

5:40 pm

moolingwa

5:40 pm

hokie carla

oddly the 7/44 is a past tense of a word where the root word is not allowed

5:40 pm

hokie carla

and I only learned there was a word for washing up here but apparently everyone else knows it

5:41 pm

moolingwa

well the root is odd, because I think it's the -tions word

5:41 pm

moolingwa

I don't know if it can even be singular

5:41 pm

hokie carla

so the noun is being past tensed like a verb is what you're saying

5:41 pm

eieios

that is weird and i did try the root.

5:41 pm

hokie carla

english is weird

5:42 pm
