hell of a hard time finding a word for helloween but here it is: cyth
9:47 am
BzznBea
How does that word relate to Halloween?
9:48 am
MollyL
I haven't figured out how any of lyv4ever's Halloween words relate to Halloween. What am I missing?
9:49 am
BzznBea
This is the first time I've seen it. Must come in after I'm done.
9:50 am
lyv4ever
well halloween is associated with death etc - and a scythe is associated with grim reaper - the words I put up are not real words but sound like the real word
9:53 am
lyv4ever
previous words included skelatin and agast
9:53 am
MollyL
What about lerk and seitan?
9:53 am
lyv4ever
seiten sounds like Satan
9:54 am
mael
seitan = satan, I assume
9:54 am
MollyL
I thought maybe it was related to the metal band Helloween, since that is how you were spelling it, but found no association.
9:54 am
mael
lerk -= lurk? maybe? lol
9:54 am
lyv4ever
and lerk is what Mike Myers does in Halloween the movie
9:55 am
lyv4ever
yes that's correct mael :)
9:55 am
mael
I have a 2nd grader, I am a pro at creative spelling
9:55 am
hokie carla
I have seen the helloween posts and now they make sense. just thought you were a bad speller, lyv 🤣🤣
10:00 am
MollyL
Speaking of Halloween, Bea...my family got a good laugh out of the grim reaper drone video.
10:11 am
BzznBea
It is pretty funny.

11:52 am
hokie carla

11:52 am
hokie carla
the word means civility
11:53 am
cybernan
yes a co 6 is a group of people who tried to build a horse and wound up with a camel
11:54 am
penquis
lost on that one...
11:54 am
hokie carla
lol, me too
11:54 am
cybernan
actually, the real word is a co 9 -- as I said co 6 is a misspelled co 9
11:56 am
cybernan
or as the saying goes, a camel is a horse designed by a co 9
11:56 am
penquis

12:18 pm
penquis

12:18 pm
penquis
if ciao is a word, why isn't miao?
12:19 pm
hurshy
we can spell it miaou i think
12:19 pm
hurshy
but not miao
12:20 pm
penquis
but the two rhyme... ;o)
12:20 pm
hurshy
unless you mean there is a word miao in italian
12:20 pm
hurshy
well just cause things rhyme doesn't make them words
12:20 pm
penquis
no, they just rhyme...
12:21 pm

12:21 pm
penquis
hursh...i was being facetious...
12:22 pm
penquis
bye, nan...
12:22 pm
hurshy
i have this thing where even when i know someone is being facetious, i still have a need to logically address the underlying point. idk why.
12:23 pm
penquis
perhaps you just like to debate things... ;o)
12:30 pm
hokie carla
geez, had to look up a 5 that ended up being a regular word
12:30 pm
penquis

12:33 pm
hokie carla

what's the Bee?
1:39 pm
hokie carla
NY Times Spelling Bee. you get 7 letters to make as many words as you can. letters can be reused in the same word but they all have to have the center letter.
1:40 pm
DS927
ooh. That sounds like fun!
1:46 pm
hokie carla
you can play for free up to a certain level, but if you want the full game you have to have a game subscription.
1:46 pm
DS927
I can imagine.... it's NYT. Newspapers have to make money in some way now.
1:55 pm
hokie carla
thankfully you can do the game sub which also includes the crosswords and sudoku and some others, and you don't have to subscribe to the paper.
