9:27 am
welki

9:30 am

9:35 am
rururocks
was zion gorgeous to you welki?
9:42 am
welki
we got here yesterday afternoon - it's spectacular so far, but once we get into the park (and further to bryce canyon), i think we'll be amazed
9:43 am
welki
hang on one sec - i'll change my icon to the view from our campsite
9:44 am
welki
it's better in person :)
9:47 am
welki
i can see how this terrain might not be to everyone's liking, but i love it - the subtle changes in color in the rock formations, the perseverance of plants/animals to thrive in this area is pretty impressive
9:47 am
72 Temple Owl
surprised to see you here...
9:48 am
rururocks
all those parks are amazing. Canyon de Chelly is amazing
9:48 am
rururocks
de Chelly is my favorite spot.. it's stunning
9:50 am

I do like Zion
9:51 am
hokie carla
we never made it to zion
9:52 am
moolingwa
Been there twice
9:52 am
hokie carla
11 left here
9:53 am
hokie carla
I keep not being sleepy so I played at the flip. not sure I'll see anything new or not.
9:53 am
welki
we'll be here for 5 days and then north to a place alongside the provo river - might do a little flyfishing
9:53 am
moolingwa
sounds relaxing
9:53 am
hokie carla
have never done flyfishing, welki
9:54 am
rururocks
wouldn't it be easier to catch flies on pest strips instead of fishing?
9:54 am
moolingwa
but where's the sport in that ru?
9:54 am
hokie carla
that does sound easier
9:54 am
moolingwa
that'd be akin to riding a motorbike along a hiking trail :)
9:54 am
welki
not that kind of fly ;)
9:54 am
rururocks
tough to hook those little suckers
9:54 am
hokie carla
just realized 4 of my last 10 are y's
9:55 am
moolingwa
just need the right lure ru
9:55 am
rururocks
in San Francisco Flyfishing has to do with Pants mostly
9:56 am
welki
oof - raining here, looks like a go-to-town-shopping day
9:56 am
welki
other than the first night's snowstorm, this is the first precipitation we've had

hokie carla
E Yx4 A TT A R
9:57 am
moolingwa
yeah, it's been dry this winter...except January
9:57 am
hokie carla
wow, that's great. we get rained on pretty much every time we camp
9:57 am
rururocks
what does that acronym mean hokie :D
9:57 am
hokie carla
but was definitely not as common out west
9:57 am
moolingwa
the words she has left to find
9:57 am
hokie carla
that means guess my missing words from those letters, ruru
9:58 am
moolingwa
y 5/6 combo...y 4/5 combo is my guess
9:58 am
hokie carla
but don't guess the T
9:58 am
welki
tried to get a spot at ruby's, hokie - full (which is why we're going north after zion)
9:58 am
hokie carla
bummer
9:58 am
moolingwa
e5 I'd guess
9:58 am
welki
they can fit us in for 1-3 days, but i want to stay at the next place for 9 days
9:59 am
moolingwa
a5 maybe
9:59 am
hokie carla
yeah, I get it
9:59 am
moolingwa
maybe a4
10:00 am
hokie carla
I just found the a4, it was the alt sp a5
10:00 am
hokie carla
you'd think I would look for the other when I find one
10:01 am
moolingwa
yeah, then maybe you're missing e4
10:01 am
hokie carla
no, I have that. it's the middle e I need.
10:02 am
moolingwa
then e5, like I guessed before
10:03 am
moolingwa
pretty sure one of your t's is my last word...t6
10:04 am
hokie carla
probably. the only one I have is a pl
10:05 am
mael
ohh, found the 8, nice word
10:05 am
hokie carla
ok, got the E
10:05 am
hokie carla
hey mael!
10:06 am
mael
hey there! just started today :)
10:06 am
hokie carla
1-3-4 left. not gonna find 4 6's on my own.
10:07 am
hokie carla
toerid - a fungus remover
10:07 am
mael
it's been quick so far but I can see how i'll get stuck in a minute
10:08 am
hokie carla
ah, probably not. I got stuck at 11 left but that was at like 2am, so you can go all the way this morning. plus, you're better at this game.
10:10 am
mael
you're pretty excellent at this game yourself :)
10:10 am
mael
I just like word puzzles of all kinds
10:10 am
hokie carla
yep, me too
10:12 am
hokie carla
well, I'm definitely stuck at 8 until someone asks for clues
10:15 am
mael
I've got 14 left, hmm
10:24 am
72 Temple Owl
is the eight part of a 7/8?
10:25 am
mael
no, it's a stand alone
10:25 am
72 Temple Owl
thank you. stats pls?
10:25 am
72 Temple Owl
thank you
10:27 am
mael
3 left, all 6s.
10:27 am
mael
must be those sixes you were talking about, Hokie
10:27 am
72 Temple Owl
i find 6 letter wrods the hardest
10:28 am
mael
me too, to be honest
10:28 am
72 Temple Owl
got the 8 ty
10:28 am
mael
well, found an obvious one. Once I know which letter they come from things look easier at leat!
10:28 am
mael
... shit, I found it and I'll get myself to the PB
10:29 am
mael
that was unfortunate haha
10:31 am
72 Temple Owl
well i am sure it helped someone...
10:34 am
hurshy
hmm, i don't have enough ideas for the Y
10:35 am
moolingwa
Need any clues?
10:36 am
hokie carla
yes!
10:36 am
hokie carla
oh, you're asking TO
10:36 am
hokie carla
hurshy, I still need 4 y's and have tried everything
10:37 am
moolingwa
anyone :)
10:37 am
hokie carla
moo, can you clue the T6?
10:37 am
moolingwa
that was my last word...
10:37 am
hurshy
yeah same here, need 4 y
10:37 am
hokie carla
and guess my last A from the upper right
10:38 am
moolingwa
definition isn't going to be helpful, but in terms of spelling, it's a t5 + 1 letter
10:38 am
hurshy
i have a t6 that is a plural
10:38 am
hokie carla
I know, you keep saying that but it's not a clue 😜
10:38 am
hurshy
ai6/18 is my guess for your A
10:38 am
hokie carla
good guess, hurshy
10:39 am
moolingwa
apparently the t6 is some form of art from the Rennaissance period
10:39 am
hokie carla
I still don't see ai6 but typed it
10:39 am
Sophie512
yes, hurshy, add another vowel
10:40 am
hurshy
you're saying there are two T6?
10:40 am
hokie carla
that's what they're saying
10:40 am
hokie carla
maybe that t5 is my other missing T
10:40 am
hokie carla
is this TE or TA?
10:41 am
hurshy
the ones i have are te5/10 and plural
10:41 am
hokie carla
or TI
10:41 am
hokie carla
or TO
10:41 am
hurshy
they are babblets we have a lot
10:41 am
hokie carla
that's what I have, hurshy
10:41 am
mael
FW! need any clues?
10:41 am
Sophie512
mine is ta
10:42 am
hokie carla
yes, a lot 🤣ðŸ˜
10:42 am
hurshy
well then that isn't related to the te5
10:42 am
mael
I have a ta6 and a te6, both are plurals but one's a latin plural
10:42 am
Sophie512
congrats, Mael, just got here basically never seen so many useless consonants
10:43 am
hokie carla
ok, then my t's are TA5 and TA6. as soon as I find the 5 I'll find the 6.
10:43 am
mael
or rather, not latin, but italian :)
10:43 am
cybernan
good morning all - could I have a clue for that te 5-6 combo please?
10:44 am
mael
think bones, hokie
10:44 am
hurshy
woooeee found the 8
10:44 am
hokie carla
the te5/6 we have all the time, nan. the 5 ends in 2 vowels.
10:44 am
mael
technically a hat, nan, but it's a common babblet with its plural
10:44 am
hokie carla
aha, thank you, mael. that did it.
10:45 am
hokie carla
ok, now what is my missing R
10:45 am
hokie carla
1-2-2 left. 1 R and 4 Y
10:45 am
mael
there is only one r6, it's a dried fruit
10:45 am
cybernan
not common to me
10:45 am
cybernan
don't see anything remotely possible
10:46 am
mael
I guess I see it in babble all the time, would never in a million years use it in conversation
10:46 am
hokie carla
ha, thought that was just a phantom
10:46 am
cybernan
oh got it -- isn't that japanese?
10:46 am
hokie carla
yes, I only know the te5 from babble
10:47 am
mael
nah, it's a hat apparently
10:47 am
hokie carla
I don't know nan, def says it's an area between india and nepal or a hat worn in subtropics
10:47 am
mael
but I only looked it up right now after playing for 10 years so
10:47 am
hokie carla
same
10:47 am
hokie carla
ok, now just those pesky 4 y's left
10:48 am
cybernan
now i need those 4 y's -- a 4-5 and 5-6 combo I think someone said
10:48 am
hokie carla
that fits with what I have left
10:48 am
mael
I always remember it because of the se5 word that ends the same but is an actual word (not in the puzzle, but would give away the t5)
10:49 am
hurshy
wow just put in a di7 that i did NOT expect to work and it DID
10:49 am
hokie carla
ok, found the 4/5
10:49 am
mael
that's how I found it too, hursh
10:49 am
mael
the y5/6 sounds like a measure of distance
10:49 am
hurshy
ok so then the other 7 must be i, G, or S?
10:50 am
moolingwa
if you want me to tell you hursh I can
10:50 am
hurshy
go for it
10:50 am
moolingwa
g7, it's a plural
10:50 am
hurshy
or just jump the gun like hokie lol
10:51 am
mael
have a great day everyone! need to head to the orthodontist to discuss my poor kid's braces
10:52 am
hokie carla
bye mael!
10:52 am
hokie carla
finally finished here!
10:53 am
cybernan
grats mael and carla - 16 left here and listing soon
10:54 am
hurshy
is this normal? should i be seeing it?
10:54 am
hokie carla
no, not normal
10:54 am
hurshy
ok then clue please? :)
10:55 am
hokie carla
maels clue about measure of distance helped but took me a while. basically 3 feet with an extra letter inside.
10:55 am
hurshy
haha, ok thanks for those, only, i was referring to the G6 & 7
10:55 am
hokie carla
the 4/5 is that minus a letter, rhymes with flying animal
10:55 am
hurshy
but now i'm done with Y so that is spiffy
10:56 am
hokie carla
ah. think about what people wear on their necks or over shoes
10:56 am
cybernan
ga 6-7 -- those white toeless and heelless socks the members of a pipe band wear over their shoes
10:56 am
hurshy
so those were normal, although old-fashioned
10:57 am
hurshy
which leaves me with an S6
10:57 am
hokie carla
yes, those were normal. thought you were asking if the y's were normal earlier
10:57 am
cybernan
still looking for that y 5-6 combo -- is it a ye yi or ya?
10:58 am
hokie carla
did you see my 10:55 post?
10:59 am
cybernan
got them -- ty -- kept trying ye and yi
11:00 am
