A 3rd D7/32 makes 9, I think.

dawny

4:57 am

All D7s start with the same 4 letters.
For the O8 you can build on the O4/5.

5:14 am

dawny

5:38 am

Wendrie

Gail

U6/21 To persuade not to believe in the advisability, worth, or truth of something

10:05 am

Wendrie

Thank you Gail! Got it :)

12:27 pm

dawny

could any1 offer me the second letter on the o8. i hate it when you cant see the word and its right in front of you

12:32 pm

Daisy

dawny, it starts ol and builds on a ol4 for 5 points.

12:32 pm

testing

dawny - sprite's clue that it builds from an o4/5 is a very good one. There aren't many ways to make an o4/5 out of this grid. That will give you the first 4 letters of the word.

12:35 pm

dawny

testing i just got it thanks

12:43 pm

Gail

Any clues for the O7/28? It's the only 7 I have yet to find.

Can someone help me with the second Y word? I have the y/4/7, the lively term. What's the seond letter for the other one? A or O? Any help would be most appreciated.

9:14 pm

9:15 pm

boatierra

Thanks :)

9:28 pm

boatierra

Oh for the love of G-d!! I cannot figure out this bleepity-bleep-bleep- bleep Y word!

Just venting. I'll figure it out.

9:39 pm

boatierra

Finally, I got it. I have now engraved the word into my mind, so as not to run into this ever again...:)

9:40 pm

Daisy

I can't find the other Y, the lively one. help? please?

9:41 pm

dicktrickle

if you found the first one, you're more than likely to find the second

9:42 pm

Daisy

huh. I thought I had tried that since it's a standard, but I guess not. Thank you!

9:43 pm

boatierra

Ya, if you found the four letter Y, you can find the second one. Think of even more lively, the most lively.

9:49 pm

boatierra

Is the d/7/32 bingo term the name of the gigantic ink pen used to cover the called out letters? 'Cause if so, I do not know the name of that.

9:53 pm

boatierra

Thanks runningforhome for you help with the 7's and the 8 :)

10:16 pm

runningforhome

You're welcome, mulhermujer. Sorry I can't help you any more with the bingo word without giving it away.

10:20 pm

boatierra

A-ha!! You should see the light bulb above my head. I kept thinking of spelling it with two B's. Now I feel better :)

10:28 pm

boatierra

OK, now I am working on the E's. I have one 4 for 4. Any clues for the other two?

10:29 pm
