12:43 am
justafreep
and I'd still be here without jessmom's find
12:44 am
Lizlin
I still haven't found that combo.
12:44 am
Lizlin
Didn't know it was a combo until Joy's comment.
12:44 am
justafreep
I don't think I've ever seen it before
12:46 am
Lizlin
wi 6 - Really? I've never heard that as a pt before!
12:47 am
joym999
I've heard toddlers use it like that. :)

Lizlin
OK - I'll give you that one :)
12:48 am
joym999

7:43 am
hokie carla
half on every tile
7:43 am
hokie carla
*endorsed by molly
7:45 am
hokie carla
it's way harder than NBT, which is just getting 1 word per tile
7:45 am
Cosmo Kramer
if you also get half of every stats (4letter words,5 letters etc), then it can be 'half of everything' :)
7:45 am
hokie carla
yeah, but that's too hard, kramer.
7:46 am
rururocks
i hardly ever say fireworks so this seems silly to me
7:47 am
Cosmo Kramer
that's what i aim for everyday. i will be happy with that.. fireworks is like once in a while bonus :)
7:47 am
hokie carla
yes, but you're one of the elites. does nbt/nbs not seem silly to you, ru?
7:48 am
rururocks
I'm far from elite in this game.. so many players way beyond my skills
7:49 am
hokie carla
well I'm currently stuck with 15 left
7:49 am
rururocks
well one of the 7's is kidding.. literally
7:50 am
hokie carla
I have one 7 but it's more of a breakfast thing
7:51 am
hokie carla
found another, so now I truly have HOE
7:52 am
hokie carla
or HOET/HOES if you will 😜
7:52 am
rururocks
i never ho around .. but that's just me
7:52 am
mael
I play for hoe every time :)
7:53 am
hokie carla
now I'm just making up 7s that are working
7:53 am
hokie carla
still don't think I have the kidding one
7:53 am
mael
I only have one delicious 7 so far
7:54 am
hokie carla
see, mael is on board with HOE!
7:55 am
rururocks
well.. mael calls a spade a spade I guess
7:55 am
hokie carla
why am I making up S words when I have the S grayed out?
7:55 am
mael
and a hoe a hoe, def
7:56 am
hokie carla
4-5-1-1
7:56 am
mael
same reason I'm making up A words, I guess!
8:00 am
MLFAN17
hokie is the breakfast word a q word
8:01 am
mael
unless there's another one
8:01 am
MLFAN17
i found it obviously
8:01 am
hokie carla
yes, it is
8:01 am
MLFAN17
those used to be so popular
8:02 am
hokie carla
I still need 1 7. I assume it's the "kidding" one ru was talking about but since I made up the other 2 I don't think I have it.
8:04 am
MLFAN17
i need 3 of the 7s
8:04 am
hokie carla
well I still need 1 N but have that one
8:05 am
hurshy
do you have na6, maybe that's what you missed
8:05 am
hokie carla
nope, have that. but it is that N.
8:05 am
hurshy
er, then, na5
8:06 am
hokie carla
wow, thought that was a phantom. you know, because I can never go backward. thanks.
8:06 am
hokie carla

8:07 am
MLFAN17
corner i stats pls?
8:09 am
hokie carla
found a word! 6 left
8:11 am
hokie carla
5 now but no 4's left🥲
8:11 am
MLFAN17
first column greyed
8:11 am
hurshy
hokie, i think the "kidding" 7 is the ye7, it's a pun, because that means to bring forth young (of a sheep or GOAT)
8:12 am
mael
FW! have a good day everyone, off to take the kids to scoeer
8:12 am
hokie carla
well done, mael. hope you have beautiful fall weather.
8:16 am
hokie carla
well, I am stuck for real here at 5 left. 1 H and 4 C's. don't think I'm going to find these on my own but I'll take a break and come back and see if they magically appear. TTFN.
8:50 am
rururocks
not sure what scoeer is
8:51 am
rururocks
I usually get lambasted for punning this early in the day hursh
8:52 am
hokie carla
ah, I do have that one. and I didn't even notice the soccer typo, my brain fixed it.
8:52 am
hokie carla

8:55 am
hokie carla
ooh, found a word!
