t/6/18 - a type of cough, looks like a mis spelling of a type of fight <G>

2:23 pm

Treble99

I cant find the U6 or the P6 flower, I have the P5 but cant get the 6.

2:24 pm

svejk

another hint for U6: lancers

2:26 pm

testing

The U6 is plural, and knowing the point value makes it easier to find.

If you have the P5 and can't find the P6 then you must have a different P5 than I have, as the P6 is just its plural. I am missing 1 P word, so maybe it is the P5 you have.

2:30 pm

svejk

I have 2 P5s, just differing in the last letter

2:32 pm

svejk

fancy that, the 2 P5s have the same meaning :)

2:38 pm

Wendrie

I have 4 p/4s as well as the two P5s that have the same meaning and one P6 which is the plural of one of the P5s.... But I'm still missing one :(

2:41 pm

svejk

wendrie: do you have the P9 (see log at 12:21 pm et seq)

2:44 pm

Wendrie

thanks svejk! I had not tried that as I thought it needed two Ls... :)

2:45 pm

Jessi

I've got both e7 and the w7 - but can't locate the fouth 7...

2:55 pm

testing

The 4th 7 begins with Q.

3:54 pm

testing

The rest of the 6s:

21/G - anatomical structures shaped like a helmet
21/G - no def. but a guess is something which causes something else to solidify
18/S - small columns or pillars used as milestones
21/T - four-wheeled Russian wagon

periwinkle

May I please have a clue for the Q/7?

5:16 pm

fit1

The base of the Q7 is a Q5, then a Q6 adds a letter and the Q7 adds a letter to the six. hs to do with amounts.

5:18 pm

Treble99

testing thanks very much for all the clues.

5:20 pm

periwinkle

Thanks, found the Q/7

Thanks to everyone who helped with the clues.

6:43 pm

periwinkle

Can't find the W/7.

6:43 pm

fit1

the w7 is desire for something

6:46 pm

periwinkle

Thanks, found the W/7. Didn't think that was a word. I can't figure out the Babble dictionary. The singular version of the P/9 is definitely a word and Babble will not accept it.

6:48 pm

periwinkle

I only have 10 A words. :(
