Gillie

It is in the newer Enable dictionary, and for some reason now the message you get now if you try it is "does not exist in the puzzle", even if it does

12:13 am

greenery

yes, exactly that -- thanks, Gillie, I thought I was losing it.

12:15 am

joym999

the rumor I heard is that Dr. God tried to update Babble with the new enable dictionary and something went wrong.

9:33 am

ChampFit

Well yeah, I can sorta see that...

9:33 am

hurshy

with dropping the n and rearranging a bit

9:38 am

9:53 am

hokie carla

oh, I just found one that looks like a tumah

9:53 am

hokie carla

but it's not, it's fungi related

9:53 am

hurshy

if i had any idea what a tumah is, other than a tumor in boston

9:53 am

hokie carla

not sure what a small village is like

9:54 am

hokie carla

haven't you seen that movie with Arnold saying "it's not a tumah"

9:54 am

hurshy

the small village is also like the protagonist of a shakespearean play set in denmark

9:54 am

ChampFit

I wondered if anyone else thought of that carla!

9:54 am

hokie carla

kindergarten cop?

9:54 am

hurshy

i haven't really watched any movies with arnold in them other than that batman one where he played mr freeze

9:55 am

hokie carla

I'm not even sure I've seen it but the scene is kinda famous

9:55 am

hokie carla

or well-known I should say

9:55 am

hurshy

is this tumah thing another ca6, or something else?

9:56 am

ChampFit

BBL

9:56 am

hokie carla

I was happy to see a conquerable (not a real word) puzzle today. Have to leave in a bit to take grandson to his basketball game and take 5 year old with me. Haven't adjusted to moving to Nashville area in some ways, but love being with these grands.

10:01 am

hurshy

10:27 am

hurshy

10:28 am

hurshy

i was saying that it reminds me of that song the girl from ip...... but without the n and like rearranging a bit

10:32 am

Sophie512

hurshy, good clue

Hi everyone...I am totally not getting that TE6 clue.

2:22 pm

hokie carla

nan, me6 ends in shortened word for how many units are in food. and first syllable has the high pt tile

2:22 pm

joym999

ME 6 is one of my favorite drinks. It's from southern Mexico.

2:22 pm

hokie carla

was there a te6 clue?

2:23 pm

joym999

ruru said "thanks for the te 6"

2:23 pm

joym999

someone else said it was a clue

2:24 pm

hokie carla

that was me. I was being snarky that someone requested a clue and he answered with thanks for telling me about the word

2:24 pm

cybernan

ty carla - another new one

2:24 pm

joym999

Sigh. So it wasn't a clue.

2:24 pm

cybernan

te 6: change last letter in the vessel you use to brew your afternoon beverage

2:25 pm

2:30 pm

cybernan

Trying to find a brooch or pendant in the shape of a swan (preferrably black). Only one I've found so far is on etsy - doubt it would arrive in time for Christmas.

2:31 pm

hokie carla

we did have a heavy drinking principal but it wasn't this one

2:33 pm

joym999

Could someone tell me what the other two 7s are, since I don't want to list yet? I have DE, IP, ME, and TE.

hokie carla

sorry even

3:12 pm

joym999

why are you sorry?

3:14 pm

hokie carla

I was here and then clues were requested and I didn't respond so I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. I realize as Molly likes to point out all the time that others gave clues and I don't have to be here, but I was literally just posting right before.

3:15 pm

joym999

Still, you don't have to apologize. You do your fair share of clueing, IMO

3:16 pm

joym999

FW for me!

3:17 pm

hokie carla

finally found a 4! 6 total words left. 4-1-1

3:17 pm

hokie carla

well done!

3:17 pm

hokie carla

ooh, 5!

3:17 pm

joym999

My last word was the ZO4, which I can't believe I missed the first time through, considering what I do all day.

3:17 pm

hokie carla

4!

3:17 pm

hokie carla

ha!

3:17 pm

joym999

Need any clues, carla or anyone else?

3:18 pm

hokie carla

maybe you thought of it as a proper noun

3:19 pm

hokie carla

I have M P C D left. 2-1-1. if you want to guess any of those...

3:23 pm

joym999

there are 3 C6s. Do you have them all?

3:24 pm

joym999

only one 6 for each of the other letters

3:25 pm

hokie carla

I do have 3 c6's and the m6 I know of. will check the P and D, thanks.

3:25 pm

hokie carla

one of my boys played basketball one year (like 1st grade) and it was excruciating. no one on the team would shoot.

6:42 pm

hokie carla

for some reason I just tried the me6 this morning without knowing of its existence and it magically took.

6:42 pm

Sophie512

I think they should have signed up the 5 yr old....they get to lower the goals a little

6:43 pm

hokie carla

but both my boys really got into basketball as teenagers and like to play each other and with friends now. we always point out how we tried to get them to play rec bball as kids but they refused.

7:35 pm

hokie carla

not unless you're into fungi that looks more like a tumor

7:35 pm

penquis

7:36 pm

penquis

umm spam does not exist in the puzzle?

8:08 pm

hokie carla

it's a legendary story, cheryl

8:08 pm

hokie carla

as in , babble legend

8:09 pm

cherlyq

lol

8:11 pm

hokie carla

it was not a word when the enable list was created (was a brand name - proper noun). supposedly someone asked dr. god (babble creator) to add it and he did but it didn't really work so now it says it's not in the puzzle instead of saying it's not in the dictionary, like other unaccepted words.

8:11 pm

cherlyq

got you

8:14 pm

hokie carla

but yes, it does exist in the puzzle, you aren't seeing things.

8:14 pm

cherlyq

good to know
