3:04 pm

dcseain

LOL fitting.

3:04 pm

6:33 pm

penquis

hello all...

6:37 pm

mkg

Edhi

6:37 pm

mkg

Oops sorry

6:38 pm

penquis

change the last letter... ;o)

6:39 pm

mkg

I already have that one. Was trying this out as well. Ty.

6:39 pm

mkg

Sill missing the 8 if anyone has stat and clues. Ty.

6:39 pm

frobscottler

Learned a lot of new words today >.<

6:40 pm

penquis

it builds off the id 4/5....

6:40 pm

mkg

Pen is that the 8 that builds off the id 4?

6:40 pm

penquis

yes...

6:41 pm

frobscottler

the id 7 builds off the id 4, and the id 8 builds on that

6:41 pm

mkg

So any clues for how it builds off of it since the id 4 5 is a plural?

6:41 pm

penquis

the id 4/5 is not a pl...

6:42 pm

mkg

Oops ok i see i was wrong. Sorry

6:43 pm

mkg

Ok it is another id 4 5 than what i was thinking of. There are two id 4 5s.

6:43 pm

mkg

Got the 8. Ty

6:43 pm

penquis

yes, at least i have two....

6:43 pm

ItalianGreyhound

Never seen the MU4/8 pluraled before, but what else is new

6:44 pm

penquis

yes, weird....

6:44 pm

mkg

Agree. I dont like this grid one bit. Mu is not plural ever.

6:46 pm

mkg

I cant even get close to half way. Ugh.

6:46 pm

ItalianGreyhound

Looks kinda spanish-y

6:48 pm

mkg

Agree

6:48 pm

mkg

Just not english

6:49 pm

penquis

it can be used as a noun, but i have never seen it in plural form...

6:51 pm

hokie carla

yeah, would love to know the definition that got it on the enable list. can't believe it's a plural.

6:52 pm

aebmusica

re6/24.....clue please

hokie carla

re6- tv show re6 911

6:56 pm

aebmusica

ty pen and carla

6:56 pm

frobscottler

This may be obvious to many people, but I've been playing occasionally for years and only found this last week: in the yellow box at the bottom of the screen "Friends of Babble", there's a link called Lickety's Babble Clues. That's a page that lists all the clues/stats for the day's board in alphabetical order. You can batch-enter any words you've already found in Babble, and enter words one-by-one. It populates the list as you add the words, and it helps immensely with solving the puzzle!

6:56 pm

mkg

I dont get that clue or the word. Second time i am seeing it. Darn.

6:56 pm

dan2bit

yes - when people say they went to "the list" or are using the list, it's lickety's page they usually mean

6:57 pm

penquis

yes, i am considering listing right now....stalled at 35 left....

6:57 pm

hokie carla

yes, frob...if you see any mention of "the list" or "listing" that's what people are talking about.

6:57 pm

dan2bit

mkg a lifeguard will re6 people from drowning

6:57 pm

mkg

I use lickety when i am half way. Yup. Great list.

6:57 pm

frobscottler

I always wondered where people were getting the stats from, but apparently not enough to figure it out until recently :D

6:57 pm

mkg

So any clues for the re 6? To help someone???

6:58 pm

penquis

to SAVE someone....i just clued it...

6:58 pm

dan2bit

I did as well

6:58 pm

hokie carla

lifeguards re6 drowning people

6:58 pm

penquis

i think three of us clued it within the last 5 minutes...

6:59 pm

hokie carla

I thought she was saying she didnt' get those clues

6:59 pm

mkg

Respond, no. Rehide noâ€¦â€¦..i dont know why but i am so not seeing it. Resusitate no.

6:59 pm

mkg

I am just not getting the word

6:59 pm

MollyL

That's amusing. I have never seen an occasional player explain what the list is to people who play all the time.

6:59 pm

penquis

look at carla's last clue...

7:00 pm

dan2bit

it ends with the stick you shoot pool with

7:00 pm

BzznBea

Gilligan's Island hope they would be re8...

7:00 pm

MollyL

Jeeze mkg, Search and re6 what the Coast Guard does.

7:00 pm

hokie carla

ends in - people on tv shows use *** cards

7:00 pm

penquis

RESCUE.... :oD

7:00 pm

hokie carla

it was a complete and total clue-a-rama

7:00 pm

BzznBea

Thanks, pen.

7:01 pm

penquis

sorry....wanted to end it...

7:01 pm

hokie carla

and pen takes it to a new level ðŸ¤£ðŸ¤£ðŸ¤£. yes, thank you for taking one for the team

7:01 pm

mkg

Apologies all.

7:01 pm

MollyL

Thank you Pen. Sometimes that is just necessary to move on

7:01 pm

dan2bit

no worries mkg, there's no shame in not getting a clue

7:02 pm

BzznBea

You use lickety until you get half way, but you drive everyone else crosseyed because you won't...

7:02 pm

BzznBea

That is rude and inconsiderate.

7:02 pm

frobscottler

lol I can only hope my list-awareness announcement helps someone who's lurking or new or just slow like me :)

7:03 pm

penquis

perhaps it will, frob....

7:03 pm

hokie carla

well I still have 49 left but probably won't list today

7:04 pm

penquis

about 60 % of my missing words are fours....annoying...

7:04 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I still have 18 4s left

7:05 pm

frobscottler

for a list that does not include "homies", Enable sure does have a lot of words I've never seen before!

7:05 pm

BzznBea

I'm sorry, frob. It's not the new players. It's the one's who play all the time and whine because they can't get a word that is clued when there are many resources they can use.

7:06 pm

frobscottler

well, we're all allowed our moments!

7:06 pm

penquis

very true....

7:07 pm

hokie carla

I certainly have those moments where I just can't see the word or get the clues but then I just move on and look it up later.

7:07 pm

BzznBea

Yes, we are.

7:09 pm

hokie carla

right now I wonder why I can only find 1 B

7:09 pm

BzznBea

Carla, I can't believe your boyfriend's name isn't allowed...

7:09 pm

penquis

i am surprised by that...

7:09 pm

hokie carla

I know!

7:10 pm

BzznBea

We are safely tucked into a hotel in Kentucky. I say that, because, well, it is Kentucky...

7:11 pm

hokie carla

maybe safer than your house ðŸ˜œ

7:11 pm

penquis

glad you are tucked in....

7:11 pm

hokie carla

where in KY?

7:11 pm

BzznBea

LMAO! For sure!

7:11 pm

BzznBea

Louisville.
