Requesting confirmation on the S9 that starts from an S5 for 22 ... given babble scoring, that's got to be highly unusual word ... or am I missing something incredibly obvious?

dicktrickle

the k6? hmmm....maybe if you were a little sharper you might find it ;)

7:23 pm

periwinkle

parsec said there was a k/6/30 and k/6/39. I already have the k/6/30 that means sharper. I still need the k/6/39.

7:23 pm

dicktrickle

oh, wait....wrong k6......the k6/39 is an odd spelling that means genuflections

7:32 pm

periwinkle

dicktrickle, found it, thanks.

7:35 pm

onyx

isnt that k 6 for 39 missing a letter?

7:37 pm

periwinkle

yes, it is indeed an odd spelling

7:39 pm

periwinkle

I still need the following 6's:
c/6/24, e/6/21, g/6/27 x2, and s/6/21. Hints would be much appreciated.

7:41 pm

onyx

hey Peri i just started but the e 6 is a plural and the g 6 is discussed earlier, an ethnic term? it' s another odd babble word i think. hope that helps.

7:44 pm

periwinkle

Oops, I aleady had the e/6/21. There are two g/6/27 and I can't find either with the ethnic clue.

7:47 pm

onyx

start with a g 4 for 7 bacteria

7:51 pm

periwinkle

thanks onyx, got one of the g/7's. Do they both start the same way?

7:52 pm

onyx

don't know, haven't found the other

8:22 pm

fit1

Peri, onyx. there are 2 g6. Are you sure there are 2 g7? I only have one and I have 15 g's
