7:14 am

hokie carla

I need to make some acronym for when I get at least half on each tile so i can scream it out like NBT/NBS! maybe 1/2T. or .5T or ALHOAT. will take suggestions.

7:25 am

hokie carla

7:25 am

MollyL

7:40 am

aslindy

7:41 am

hokie carla

7:42 am

hokie carla

no, would be hard to make that work

7:43 am

aslindy

hint: yes it works

7:44 am

hokie carla

well that should make it easy but feels like I already tried all that

7:45 am

hokie carla

finally, thanks

7:46 am

aslindy

well done

7:47 am

hokie carla

I can guess the meaning of that word but never seen it used before

7:47 am

aslindy

I googled it. Never heard it before.

7:49 am

hokie carla

W D SS

7:51 am

hokie carla

7:55 am

aslindy

7:56 am

hokie carla

7:58 am

hokie carla

bichon, ends like: when you measure kids you are checking their gr*

7:59 am

hokie carla

so lindy, were either of the D's weird?

7:59 am

bichon

ty aslindy

7:59 am

aslindy

no, not weird

8:01 am

hokie carla

8:01 am

hokie carla

and the D - basically the same word. Fireworks!

8:04 am

mael

missing 5, all Ss

8:06 am

mael

of which two were obvious, now missing 3 from the bottom S. Funnily a 4/5/6

8:07 am

mael

whooo, FW. No list/hints, that never happens to me!

8:51 am

Sandraf

Any clue please for the ex 6

8:55 am

zoozzoom

To thrust out.

8:59 am

zoozzoom

To put odour eaters into your shoes would be to in6 them. To thrust out would be to ex6.

9:15 am

cybernan

good morning everyone :)

9:16 am

cybernan

top 3 rows black -- don't think the bottom 2 are going to be that easy

9:28 am

cybernan

down to 6: W D SSS L and half of them are 6's

9:30 am

hokie carla

looks pretty similar to my last few, nan.

9:30 am

cybernan

is there a welsh word that begins with w?

9:31 am

cybernan

no - found a wa 6

9:31 am

hokie carla

wa6 was my last - kind of weird pl

9:32 am

cybernan

you have finished - congrats!

9:32 am

cybernan

are there more than s 6x2?

9:33 am

hokie carla

from the bottom?

9:33 am

hokie carla

there are 4 from bottom

9:33 am

cybernan

yes - just have the d, s (both from bottom) and l left

9:34 am

cybernan

ok - looking for s 6x2 and one other s then

9:34 am

hokie carla

my last D and S were the same last 4 letters

9:35 am

hokie carla

and there are 2 se6 relating to an se5

9:36 am

cybernan

have those

9:36 am

cybernan

don't have the d and s that end the same though

9:36 am

cybernan

I assume they are both 6's?

9:37 am

hokie carla

no, 5s

9:37 am

hokie carla

do you only need 6's? or any 5's?

9:39 am

cybernan

I need 555 and 66

9:42 am

hokie carla

I'm going to guess most of your words ending in the same 2 letters. maybe se6, sa6, de5, se5, and le5

9:43 am

hokie carla

wow, I do speak english, just can't write it apparently

9:43 am

cybernan

have an le 4 - what is the other one please?

9:43 am

hokie carla

the le5 I guessed

9:44 am

BzznBea

Back home, Carla?

9:45 am

cybernan

ok - don't see how they can end int he top corner, so will try the bottom left corner

9:45 am

hokie carla

nope, still at the beach. just rollerbladed for almost an hour and now trying to get motivated again.

9:46 am

BzznBea

Rollerblading sounds fun. Didn't know they still make them.

9:48 am

cybernan

found the le 5, but nothing else seems to end like that

9:49 am

hokie carla

le5 is not the same ending as the other 4

9:49 am

hokie carla

oh yeah, I got a new pair a few years ago. my friend just got a new pair this spring.

9:50 am

cybernan

is there a def for one of the other 4 that I might know?

9:52 am

cybernan

am I looking for a de 5 or a da 5?

9:52 am

hokie carla

a belief in a god?

9:53 am

hokie carla

de5

9:53 am

cybernan

ty - should have had that

9:54 am

cybernan

that took care of the 5's. Need s 6 x2 now

9:54 am

cybernan

just have the se 5-6-6 combo

9:55 am

cybernan

found the one that ends the same

9:56 am

hokie carla

I thought you said you had the 5-6-6

9:57 am

cybernan

yes I do

9:57 am

cybernan

just need the sa 6 you mentioned now

9:57 am

cybernan

11:23 am

MollyL

I have always wanted to post "done" at 12:05 AM for a 300-word grid...just to mess with people
: D

11:24 am

MollyL

Anyway, your first post was at 11:12 and you posted done at 11:19. That is seven minutes. The first fireworks at the flip were at 12:20

11:25 am

hurshy

ah, but did they actually start at midnight or were they late to the flip?

11:26 am

MollyL

No way to tell

11:27 am

MollyL

Just as you could have been playing all day before your first post

MollyL

It's going to be 85 here also.

11:42 am

MollyL

Oh and raise your hand if you think Hurshy could tutor math and play babble at the same time
: D

11:43 am

hurshy

well i could, but it would be rude

11:44 am

origami

Since it was 102 one day last week, this is a big cooldown :D

5:32 pm

frobscottler

Thanks! I wonder why there are Welsh words in the word list to begin with...

5:40 pm

dcseain

English has taken some words from Welsh, they've been in full political union since the 13th century.

5:40 pm

dcseain

They, England and Wales.

5:40 pm

BzznBea

Welsh and Scottish...

5:45 pm

dcseain

Yes, even more from Scots due to mutual intelligibility

5:46 pm

dcseain

Though Scotalnd has always had more independence compared to Wales.

5:46 pm

dcseain

After all, it was the Scottish crown that ascended the English throne. :)
