hey une, any storms there? we are supposed to get some this morning I think
9:11 am

The storms yesterday bypassed us! Yay!

I'm down to ten but pretty stuck

9:24 am
rururocks
oh.. just found an 8 myself
9:25 am
hokie carla
I figured with 10 left you'd have them all
9:25 am
rururocks
I'm betting we all have that one welks
9:26 am
hokie carla
I did
9:26 am
hokie carla
working on the P now, still first pass
9:32 am
hokie carla
ok, 35 left after first pass, HOET
9:35 am
hokie carla
forgot to add I grayed the bottom row, which with the K is unheard of
9:36 am
UntitledDocument
is HOET - half on each tile?
9:37 am
UntitledDocument
Nice! that's usually my goal on first pass but I'm terrible at e's and a's
9:37 am
hokie carla
yes, I usually struggle on the vowels too, esp. on first pass.
9:38 am
hokie carla
but that E I found so hard on the first pass today I just grayed out. I guess I just have to see the whole grid before I see the vowel words.
9:44 am
hokie carla
phantom spleen
9:49 am
hokie carla
well, now I'm stuck at 18. guess I'll check out some other things. TTFN.

10:19 am

10:21 am
hokie carla
but still need 5 D's(!) to gray the edges
10:21 am
hurshy
oh then what 8 did you already have hokie?
10:21 am
hurshy
my last edge one was sa5/12, i had the S8 from there
10:21 am
penquis

10:22 am
penquis
ty for those stats....didn't have that one...
10:23 am
hokie carla
somehow saw those on first pass
10:23 am
hokie carla
so, I'm assuming the D's are all DR or DO?
10:23 am
penquis

10:23 am
cybernan
maybe it's time to quit this game -- not seeing an se 8 and logged on in time to see someone talking about a long list of sk's -- cant't see more than two
10:23 am
hokie carla
I was about to quit the game if they weren't
10:24 am
hokie carla
bye pen!
10:24 am
hurshy
i have 4 sk, are there more? i need 4 more S
10:24 am
hokie carla
I do still have 8 S's to go from that S with the K. I guess that is the problem.
10:25 am
hurshy
it does appear to be the hardest tile today
10:25 am
hokie carla
anyhoo, gotta go buy some printer ink, so I better skedaddle. will save 15 for later.
10:26 am

moolingwa

4:16 pm
hokie carla
I have 2 lower left S and 3 D
4:16 pm
hokie carla
1-1-2-1
4:16 pm
moolingwa
8 off that S and no d's
4:17 pm
hokie carla
so would you care to guess the 3 d's?
4:17 pm
hokie carla
maybe a 6/7 set or maybe that's my S's
4:17 pm
moolingwa
a 6/7 combo perhaps?
4:17 pm
moolingwa
then maybe a 4?
4:17 pm
hokie carla
I do not have any d6/7 sets
4:17 pm
hokie carla
found the 4!
4:18 pm
hokie carla
would you care to share the 2nd letter of the D set?
4:19 pm
moolingwa
sure, o
4:21 pm
hokie carla
dolene, dolene, dolene, dolene. I'm begging of you please, don't take my man.
4:22 pm
moolingwa
his nickname likely would be rocky
4:22 pm
hokie carla
well, I don't know what that means but I found it
4:23 pm
hokie carla
similar to a type of sleeve in garment making
4:23 pm
moolingwa
a big stone made by people
4:23 pm
hokie carla
ok, that leaves S5 and 6. probably SK.
4:24 pm
moolingwa
yeah, it's sk
4:24 pm
moolingwa
missed that one :)
4:24 pm

4:26 pm
hokie carla
I even found both 8s all on my own
4:27 pm
moolingwa
sx5, p, sx2 and kx2 remaining
4:27 pm
moolingwa
have I mentioned I dislike K's
4:28 pm
hokie carla
I also found all the K's on my first try!
4:28 pm
hokie carla
but I do dislike them too
4:30 pm
moolingwa
found my other 8
4:30 pm
hokie carla
splendid!
4:31 pm
moolingwa
k's komplete
4:31 pm
moolingwa
I sense you're making a pun
4:32 pm
moolingwa
I have a lot of 5s left
4:32 pm
hokie carla
yes you do and all S's?
4:32 pm
hokie carla
oh, one P still
4:33 pm
moolingwa
sx5 p s
4:33 pm
hokie carla
I have a 2 candidates for the P
4:34 pm
hokie carla
nothing weird on the s's, you just need to look harder
4:34 pm
moolingwa
ah, a 5/6 combo
4:34 pm
moolingwa
just found a weird s :)
4:35 pm
moolingwa
unless you're familiar with south african slang for villains
4:35 pm
hokie carla
hmm, not so sure about that. oh is that an SK?
4:36 pm
hokie carla
the SK's were all weird, but I was talking about the 5 missing ones from the upper S.
4:36 pm
moolingwa
another weird sk
4:37 pm
hokie carla
so you were actually missing 5 from the lower S?
4:37 pm
moolingwa
yes, the lower s
4:37 pm
moolingwa
completed that s
4:37 pm
moolingwa
two fives left
4:37 pm
hokie carla
okay, yeah, those were almost all weird
4:38 pm
moolingwa
pretty much
4:38 pm
hokie carla
there is one s5 that we have here from time to time but I wouldn't say it's a word I've ever used.
4:39 pm
hokie carla
you prob have it and are missing an easy one
4:39 pm
moolingwa
I have an sn5
4:39 pm
hokie carla
not that one
4:40 pm
hokie carla
oh, so that's the S you need?
4:40 pm
moolingwa
the right s
4:40 pm
hokie carla
that's why I was confused earlier with which S
4:40 pm
moolingwa
found it
4:40 pm
moolingwa
just the p to go
4:40 pm
hokie carla
nm, the one I was talking about was sa5 from there
4:41 pm
moolingwa
yea, that was the one i was missing
4:41 pm
moolingwa
just a p5 to go
4:42 pm
hokie carla
it might be this one that doesn't have a def.
4:44 pm
moolingwa
could be, running out of ideas :)
4:45 pm
hokie carla
it rhymes with a brand of interfacings used in sewing
4:45 pm
moolingwa
just as well I know nothing about sewing, nevermind sewing interfaces
4:45 pm
hokie carla
or actually doesn't just rhyme with, it sounds exactly the same
4:46 pm
moolingwa
oh, found it
4:46 pm
hokie carla
but it does rhyme with a different word, different starting letter
4:46 pm
moolingwa
has no definition
4:46 pm
mab
i just found that this moment. still missing one p.
4:46 pm
hokie carla
does it rhyme with a convicted criminal?
4:46 pm
moolingwa
well done mab
4:46 pm
mab
is that o at the top an oe by chance?
4:47 pm
hokie carla
no, I believe it was or4
4:47 pm
hokie carla
mab, do you have all the man parts to fit the weekly theme? (for the p)
4:48 pm
mab
no! thanks. how did i miss that?
4:48 pm
hokie carla
moo, I knew the sewing clue would give nothing away 😜. the brand name has a double cons in the middle FYI.
4:48 pm
hokie carla
and huzzah, moo
4:49 pm
moolingwa
good to know :)
4:49 pm
moolingwa
I figured you gave me that clue purposefully btw
4:50 pm
hokie carla
don't want to ruin it for you 🤣
4:51 pm
moolingwa
well that one went relatively quickly
4:52 pm
hokie carla
well, it dragged out as usual for me but I did a lot of other things this afternoon away from my computer
4:53 pm
hokie carla
now if I could just rise above Great on Spelling Bee
4:55 pm
moolingwa
never tried it
4:55 pm
hokie carla
well, you can play for free but they cut you off once you find so many points
4:56 pm
hokie carla
normally I can make it to genius, but today's letters are tough, still have to get to amazing and then genius
4:57 pm
mab
i get frustrated with their curated word list.
4:58 pm
mab
and then write them emails. once, they did add my word - neap.
4:58 pm
hokie carla
yeah, like today they don't allow agee
4:59 pm
mab
do these people know anything about Enable? Huh?
4:59 pm
hokie carla
I also get frustrated with their list. I have emailed them twice. once was a notoriously bad omission that took a lot of heat on the social media.
5:00 pm
mab
what was the word?
5:00 pm
moolingwa
oh, so you can use the same tile more than once?
5:01 pm
moolingwa
ah, I see
5:01 pm
hokie carla
I read an article with the guy who edits the word lists. he wants them to be more regular words that everyone knows, so like no specialty occupation lingo, etc., yet some days I look at the ones I missed and it's stuff I've never ever heard of
5:01 pm
hokie carla
yes, can reuse and that took me a long time to get used to after boggle playing for years
5:02 pm
mab
yes! inconsistent. although, knowing newspapers, that guy is probably about 17 years old.
5:02 pm
hokie carla
mab, the word was undaunted, and he allowed daunted, which no one ever uses! but undaunted was not allowed.
5:03 pm
hokie carla
well, I'm not sure when the article I read about him was written but he was 25, and the game is only like 3 years old or something.
5:03 pm
hokie carla
so you are close!
5:04 pm
mab
that is very odd. undaunted by the flames, she ran back in the house to save her elderly collie.
5:05 pm
moolingwa
looks interesting, though I maxed out my non-subscriber pretty quickly
5:05 pm
moolingwa
and it appears it's a separate subscription from the one I get through work
5:06 pm
hokie carla
yeah, hurshy only types in the pangram (which is using all 7 in a word)
5:06 pm
hokie carla
so she doesn't max out before getting it
5:06 pm
hokie carla
there is a games sub that includes bee, crossword, sudoku, etc.
5:06 pm
mab
yes, it's evil of them to make you pay for cooking and games separately.
5:07 pm
hokie carla
I was paying a monthly amount because I just wanted to try it and then I chatted with a subs person and got a much better rate.
5:07 pm
mab
years ago, when everyone still got the paper version of the paper, everything was included.
5:07 pm
hokie carla
oh, the other time I emailed was about "alee" and "vittle"
5:08 pm
moolingwa
ah well, probably not worth $40 to me
5:08 pm
hokie carla
I get annoyed because they send me emails with links to articles that I click on and then it says I need a sub.
5:09 pm
hokie carla
I think I paid $27 for the year, which is like $2 something a month (in case you all didn't want to math)
5:13 pm
mab
on their podcasts they always plug for listeners to help support their excellent journalism (which it is) by subscribing - having some sense of how rich NYT is, the pleas are annoying.
5:14 pm
hokie carla
lol, yes...that would annoy me too
5:15 pm
mab
but i've been hooked for so long. The Washington Post is another that I just have to have. Often better than nyt.
5:18 pm
hokie carla
I try not to read news, but mr. homie got a wapo sub recently so at least I can now read links that I see places.
5:22 pm
mab
it's a great paper.
5:23 pm
moolingwa
Well, I should probably do some stuff
5:23 pm
moolingwa
tx for keeping me company to the end hoke
5:24 pm
hokie carla
no prob. see you tomorrow.
5:25 pm
mab
have a splendid afternoon you two.
5:26 pm
mab
in the grass.
5:27 pm
moolingwa
tx mab, you also
5:30 pm
hokie carla
ha, thanks, mab. I'll come in and out if you want any help.
6:08 pm

6:20 pm
hokie carla

6:20 pm
Lizlin
My last 2 words - st 6 / 7
6:20 pm
hokie carla

6:21 pm
hokie carla

6:21 pm
penquis
i have one Do 6 that is a pl....
6:21 pm
hokie carla
very common in an office setting, and there's even a US chain of office supplies stores named st7
6:22 pm
penquis
have that one...
6:22 pm
penquis
have that one...
6:22 pm
hokie carla
that was for liz
6:22 pm
Lizlin
Main office supplies here is called Office Works - original, huh?
6:22 pm
penquis
oh sorry...
6:22 pm
hokie carla
the other 7 is se7 and it has a pl 8
6:22 pm
penquis
have that one, too...
6:23 pm
hokie carla
well, we have Office Depot and Office Max too. also not very original
6:23 pm
hokie carla
oh, I misread your do6 comment. you need do6/7 then
6:23 pm
Lizlin
OMG! Not an expression I often use. My hubby walked right in and saw it! Thanks
6:23 pm
penquis
ok, ty....
6:23 pm
Lizlin
Have a good evening
6:23 pm
hokie carla
LOL, liz
6:24 pm
hokie carla
pen, think of guys who like barbies
6:24 pm
hokie carla
thanks, have a good day, liz
6:25 pm
penquis
bye, liz...
6:25 pm
hokie carla
but that is a "clever clue" not the literal definition
6:26 pm
penquis
got it...ty....
6:28 pm
penquis
want to guess my missing O from the second row?
6:29 pm
hokie carla
my last was ol4, not margarine
6:29 pm
penquis
hah....that was it....
