7:55 am

hokie carla

ahoy

7:59 am

hokie carla

ooh, found the 10

8:00 am

mattygroves

Can you give me a bit of a nudge on that 10, Carla, please?

8:00 am

BzznBea

hadn't even looked at the stats.

8:02 am

hokie carla

well, when I said ahoy, I was in***ing the word ma5(unrelated). in10 is a noun form of in8, which is an adj when describing lingerie but a verb the way I used it in a sentence. confusing enough?

8:02 am

hokie carla

hello bea and matty

8:05 am

BzznBea

i'll need to come back to that one...

8:06 am

hokie carla

in8 relations (sex), in8 apparel (lingerie dept)

8:07 am

Scrabbler

I got in8 and in10 somehow. TY, carla.

8:08 am

hokie carla

thank goodness someone picked up what I was putting down.

8:09 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

8:12 am

hokie carla

well, I am struggling to get halfsies today

8:13 am

Scrabbler

Let's go, Carla. Focus, concentrate, and execute.

8:14 am

hokie carla

thank you for the pep talk. I will skip the right side upper T for now and go back.

8:22 am

hokie carla

ok, first pass finished, no half on 2 tiles, 61 left.

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Go, go.

8:24 am

bichon

I tried to put intimacies in for the 10, but not accepted

8:25 am

Scrabbler

The in10 has a different ending.

8:25 am

hokie carla

it's the act of using it as a verb

8:25 am

Scrabbler

eaten

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Free clue. You are very welcome.

8:26 am

MollyL

That in word ending in cies is not in the grid

8:26 am

hokie carla

now that's a clue blurt ðŸ˜œ

8:26 am

bichon

ty carla

8:26 am

Scrabbler

I think it's kind to give out free clues.

8:27 am

MollyL

Yeah, ask JMC. She gave out a whole list of them once

8:27 am

hokie carla

no prob, b

8:27 am

hokie carla

anyone seen her lately?

8:27 am

MollyL

She is here off and on

8:28 am

hokie carla

ok, good

8:33 am

BzznBea

we almost have a Pontiac

8:35 am

rururocks

PHANTOM; ointment

8:37 am

MollyL

8:39 am

rururocks

8:39 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway. See you tomorrow. Enjoy the day.

8:40 am

hokie carla

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

when you KNOW you know the word, and your fingers can't translate what your eyes see. that's why this game is really good if you play it right...

9:29 am

72 Temple Owl

11:36 am

aebmusica

Molly... I really did try about 3 times but didn't take it.....maybe I typed too quickly and made spelling mistakes

11:39 am

MollyL

Spelling mistakes would make sense. It is a good idea to watch your ADD WORD box as you enter words and make sure you have entered them correctly.

11:40 am

aebmusica

I know.... this happens to me occasionally and I do check the add a word box.

12:32 pm

penquis

he was always dressed entirely in black....kind of a scary dude....at least scary looking to a little kid...

12:32 pm

12:35 pm

hokie carla

I had 2 that died in the early 60's, the rest died in the teens-1940s

12:36 pm

hokie carla

yeah, one of my grandfathers died before I was born and 2 were when I was really little, so I only really had one that I remember.

hokie carla

I only made amazing yesterday. at amazing today with 45 words and 4 pangrams. it's a big one.

1:09 pm

hokie carla

I still need about 30 pts for genius

1:09 pm
