You can actually make AEIOU in order. It's not a word, but it amused me
5:17 am
Scrabbler
This grid has too many vowels.
5:36 am
MollyL
It's kind of amazing that there can be a ten letter word with 15 vowels in the grid
5:39 am
mattygroves
That suffix that's in there really helps....
5:45 am
Scrabbler
OMG, I found the 10 by myself.
5:46 am
Scrabbler
But I am missing 13 4's and 22 5's
5:47 am
mattygroves
I'm still missing two 7s and three 6s (and a bunch of fours and fives)
5:48 am
Scrabbler
I still need biggies.
5:53 am
Scrabbler
Do you have any ab- words?
5:55 am
mattygroves
Yep, two. A 'normal' 6 and a weirdish 5
5:58 am
Scrabbler
Oh, I see bo5 and ab6 now. Clue for the weird ab5?
5:59 am
mattygroves
a + a word for a great favour?
6:01 am
Scrabbler
A great favour?
6:02 am
mattygroves
Yeah - an old fashioned word for a great, good thing, as it were.
6:03 am
Scrabbler
I got it now. TY.
6:03 am

You are most welcome!

9:43 am

what's the 10?
9:46 am
cybernan
good morning all :) JUst finished reading the chat - still missing 2 from that top a - not seeing the ar 7
9:47 am
hurshy
ar7 is place in Greece, where Pan was said to dwell in legend
9:48 am
cybernan
not a clue, hurshy
9:49 am
hurshy
it starts like a place where kids would go to play pinball and other games
9:49 am
hurshy
thank you for the 10
9:50 am
cybernan
how many points in that ar 7 please?
9:53 am
cybernan
ty hurshy
9:56 am

Nan, there is a place called ar7 in Nova Scotia
9:57 am
MollyL
And cities all over the US by the same name
9:58 am
hurshy
we like Pan
9:59 am

only been to NS once and that wasn't one of the places we went. We were only there for 5 days and we lost one of those days to Hurricane Dorian

hurshy
phantom: thou
10:05 am
MollyL
"We"? I see Hurshy's other personalities have come out to play.
10:08 am
hurshy
"we" meaning "people in the US", because they named places ar7
10:10 am
cybernan
down to 20 - almost half of them are c's
10:14 am
cybernan
cardio should be accepted along with all the other prefixes that are accepted as words
10:14 am

change that last vowel
10:15 am
hurshy
and then latin plural it, also
10:15 am

ty hurshy
10:16 am

ty again - my last 7
10:17 am
MollyL
It is a good thing that no one's name is in the grid today because we would risk going to the PB for giving them the sparkly crown
10:18 am
cybernan
lol - was thinking that too, molly, when I found it
10:19 am
hurshy
but we're so close to having boatierra, just a swap of the position of top A and right E would do it
10:20 am
MollyL
And I am betting you are the only one who noticed that
10:22 am
hurshy
well if boatierra plays today i probably wouldn't be, lol

How's life, penquis? BTW, thanks for your advice about Maine. I had a great time there. It's so beautiful!
12:29 pm
penquis
doing ok here....glad you enjoyed your trip....what did you like best?
12:30 pm
joym999
Just watching the water...the house we rented was right on the water, in a cove, with lots of birds. Also eating lobster every day. Plus some beautiful hikes.
12:30 pm
penquis
great...
12:33 pm
joym999
I guess ratrace is really two words
12:34 pm
penquis
yes, i tried that, too... ;o)
12:35 pm
penquis
my cousin from NJ was here with his wife and grown daughter about ten days ago....they stayed in Bath but only for a couple days....All his wife and daughter wanted to do was to eat lobster every day... ;o)
12:35 pm
joym999
I'm going to list...30 words left, including 3 sevens but I'm not seeing a thing
12:36 pm
penquis
i listed at 16, i think...ran out of patience...
12:38 pm
joym999
Yeh, after a while it gets boring trying to find the last dozen or two words
12:39 pm
penquis
yes....some grids it happens earlier and on some later....and it depends on how I feel...
12:40 pm
joym999
And then some grids I give up on...
12:41 pm
penquis
i rarely give up...too OCD for that... ;o)
12:42 pm
joym999
I try not to be compulsive about solving, but sometimes I just have to finish, even if I'm not really enjoying myself.
12:43 pm
joym999
I can understand coming to Maine just to eat lobster, although it is possible to get lobster where I live, at twice the price.
12:44 pm
penquis
we took him to Five Islands which is near Reid State Park....very nice lobster shack....beautiful views on three sides...
12:45 pm
joym999
Sounds nice. We didn't make it very far out of Harpswell, because it was so beautiful there.
12:46 pm
penquis
yes, it's a nice place....and the drive down that peninsula is nice...
12:46 pm
joym999
Although we did stop in Freeport on the way home to go to LLBean, and we stopped in Kennebunkport for clam strips.
12:46 pm
MollyL
What blew the chat?
12:47 pm
penquis
I am wondering why my chat box is "broken"....seems chopped off a little, yet I don't recall anyone posting a long link...
12:47 pm
penquis
i was wondering the same thing, Molly....
12:47 pm
joym999
Kennebunkport was way too crowded and touristy and cutesy for me
12:48 pm
penquis
it's funny, Joy....i had fried clams at Five Islands and asked if they were whole clams before I ordered them....don't like just strips... ;o)
12:48 pm
joym999
Yes, I noticed that. When you type it scrolls over to the right and then stays there. You have to scroll it back to the left.
12:48 pm
joym999
I prefer whole clams, but my partner likes clam strips. We had a hard time finding clam strips, actually.
12:48 pm
penquis
southern Maine has very nice beaches but it is quite touristy....not my cup of tea either....i am in the midcoast.....north of where you were....
12:49 pm
penquis
well since he likes them, I am glad you found some....
12:50 pm
joym999
My partner is a she...we are the all-girl house, one daughter and even the cat is a she. A noisy little she.
12:50 pm
MollyL
Joy's post at 12:30. First sentence is long with no spaces
12:51 pm
MollyL
That many characters without a space will do it
12:52 pm
joym999
Uh oh, I broke the chat. Does that put me in the PB?
12:52 pm
penquis
doesn't seem so long...she did have punctuation...
12:52 pm
penquis
maybe it was mine at 12:48....sentences separated by dots, so no spacing....
12:55 pm
MollyL
Punctuation doesn't matter. It's something like 28
characters without a space that will blow it.
12:55 pm
MollyL
No matter, it will flush soon
12:56 pm
joym999
Mine is back to normal now.
12:56 pm
joym999
What makes it change back, I wonder?
12:56 pm
penquis
well my dots left no spaces...
12:56 pm
joym999
I will have more ca7,36 next time.
12:57 pm
penquis
you can change it by just posting nonsense until the problem post disappears....
12:57 pm
joym999
I'm good at posting nonsense!
12:57 pm
joym999
Anyway, bbl. I want to go to the Farmer's Market before noon.
12:58 pm
