Does anyone yet have that lone N in the fourth column, third row? If so, may I have stats?

5:55 am

ItalianGreyhound

NI 7/28? plural

5:56 am

mattygroves

I have an ni7/28, but the silly word isn't from there (you old ni7/28) :D

5:59 am

ItalianGreyhound

I have all the Ns, but dont know which column they all are

5:59 am

mattygroves

Ah, yeah, given the layout of the grid, I can see how that can be a problem. It's full of Ns and Is!

6:07 am

ItalianGreyhound

Its gotta be NI 5/10. Japanese

6:08 am

mattygroves

Nope, it's not that, assuming I've got the correct Japanese ni (second generation Japanese American, typically)

7:18 am

MollyL

I think it is a plural

7:32 am

MollyL

Sorry, hintsters

8:55 am

HarryHood

8:55 am

MollyL

It is time for another Icon Resizing 101 refresher.

8:56 am

MollyL

Two, two, two mints in one

8:57 am

hurshy

now that makes me think of the doublemint gum commercials

8:58 am

MollyL

Nope, that was double your pleasure, double your fun

8:58 am

hurshy

i know, i'm just saying it made me think of it

8:58 am

HarryHood

echos of spiro agnew in the grid

8:59 am

MollyL

I hope no one ever mistook doublemint gum for a breath mint

9:13 am

mkg

There are two lone Ns and i am trying but not getting them.

9:13 am

HarryHood

20!

9:13 am

HarryHood

mkg: one is a plural which rhymes with a plural of the disney mouse's girlfriend.

9:14 am

mkg

Inon

9:14 am

HarryHood

or was she his wife? we will never know.

9:14 am

mkg

NOT GETTING THE N WORDS. Darn

9:14 am

HarryHood

and that brings up the joke. which we can't say in polite company

9:14 am

HarryHood

which got harlan ellison fired from disney

9:15 am

rururocks

Minnie was a hooker

9:16 am

HarryHood

is that the title of a new Primus song ru?

9:16 am

hurshy

i thought she was a low-down hoochie coocher

9:17 am

BzznBea

Minnie the moocher

9:17 am

rururocks

could be... I don't know primus

9:17 am

HarryHood

bea gets points for obscure jazz reference!

9:17 am

HarryHood

primus has "jerry was a race car driver"

9:18 am

rururocks

9:18 am

MollyL

It's not obscure, it was in The Blues Brothers

9:19 am

hurshy

and Jeeves & Wooster

9:19 am

mael

they also have Wynona's Big Brown Beaver

9:20 am

HarryHood

primus sucks!

9:20 am

HarryHood

ooh found my first 9. 16 to go.

9:20 am

MollyL

Okay, now we are covering sketchy territory talking about Wynona's private parts

9:21 am

mkg

Got one of them. The fifth row one. Now still need the one for the 4th column. Any help welcome. That is the ni 4

9:21 am

mael

I didn't talk about Wynona's private parts, Primus did

9:21 am

HarryHood

and don't forget the south park theme song, mael

9:21 am

mael

:)

9:21 am

hurshy

i feel like the other 9 may be an S word, but i could be wrong. it is either A, E, or S, at any rate.

9:22 am

MollyL

sa

9:22 am

mael

I am assuming the single N is a nonstarter?

9:22 am

HarryHood

see molly at 8:46

9:22 am

hurshy

nice, i guessed right!

9:23 am

MollyL

No clue what that means. The single n is a plural

9:23 am

mael

a non-starter? get it?

9:23 am

mael

I only crack myself up, alas

9:23 am

EvaNadine

nion

9:23 am

hurshy

9:23 am

EvaNadine

oops. didnt mean to noodle IN the chog. lol

9:23 am

mkg

Ha ha but i still dont have the N for the 3rd row 4th columnâ€¦.

9:24 am

HarryHood

I'm laughing on the inside.

9:24 am

MollyL

There are severe penalties for chat noodling

9:24 am

EvaNadine

10 lashings with a wet noodle.

9:25 am

MollyL

I would be laughing if it was funny

9:25 am

mael

and sorry, I meant the other single N. I have the plural

9:25 am

mkg

Ok allâ€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦. Does anyone have a real stat for that lone N?

9:25 am

mkg

I will settle for that

9:25 am

MollyL

Stats and clues are in the chat

9:25 am

mkg

All other ns are grey

9:26 am

mael

punning is a great way to go through life, Molly

9:26 am

HarryHood

ni6/18, mkg.

9:27 am

9:29 am

9:29 am

hurshy

9:29 am

mkg

Go hurshy!

9:29 am

HarryHood

I don't think I've ever sat through the whole thing either mael. but I've probably seen it in pieces.

9:29 am

hurshy

they spell EASE

9:30 am

hurshy

i like it when they spell things

9:30 am

mkg

The blues brothers?????????huh??????????

9:30 am

mkg

Ok all this is crazy. I still dont have that n word.

9:30 am

hurshy

it is a movie

9:30 am

mael

not a clue, mkg, just talking about cab calloway

9:31 am

mkg

Ok. Well i have the ni 7 that is what you are speaking of. And i know the song. But there is no 6 for it. Tried several versions.

9:32 am

hurshy

the ni6 is plural of an ni5 which comes from the middle N

9:32 am

mael

the ni7 is not related to the ni5 and 6

9:32 am

BzznBea

the no6 has nothing to do with the ni7

9:32 am

mkg

Ty

9:33 am

mkg

I GOT IT. Hurshy ty for this clue

9:33 am

mkg

9:35 am

marksdolly

Harry, you are so kind to Mkg, good to see

9:35 am

mael

probably same two Cs i'm missing Harry

9:36 am

HarryHood

well mael it's not cistern, so don't bother entering it.

9:37 am

HarryHood

I found one!

9:38 am

BzznBea

there is a ch8

9:38 am

marksdolly

I was just to say that Bea, great minds think alike

9:38 am

mael

and it's not one with the biggest facial feature, alas

9:38 am

HarryHood

that's my missing one.

9:39 am

marksdolly

if you have the 6 it is the plural

9:39 am

HarryHood

ty md :)

9:39 am

HarryHood

the 6 was the one I had just gotten

9:39 am

marksdolly

yw :)

9:39 am

marksdolly

Harry, what part of Mass are you from?

9:40 am

HarryHood

mael - they sound like one who is overly thrifty

9:40 am

HarryHood

boston area, md

9:40 am

marksdolly

as a kid, I lived in Dorchester for 6 yrs, as an adult, I worked and lived in Norwell area

9:40 am

mael

how about this stupid drought and heat wave, harry?

9:41 am

HarryHood

awful mael. it's over tonight!

9:41 am

HarryHood

well the heat wave anyway. the drought will be with us for awhile.

9:41 am

HarryHood

I think we lost some young trees.

9:41 am

mael

and all these chances of thundershowers are just vanishing...

9:42 am

mael

we're losing established trees, I've never seen it this bad!

9:42 am

HarryHood

I feel terrible running our a/c so much, just exacerbating the situation. but it's so uncomfortable

9:43 am

HarryHood

7 to go here!

9:47 am

HarryHood

0-0-1-0-2-1 rather

9:47 am

HarryHood

it's a lovely grid.

9:47 am

hokie carla

good to hear

9:47 am

HarryHood

ugly on the outside, but it's got a great character.

9:48 am

hokie carla

lol

9:48 am

hokie carla

already struggling with the first tile - C. but I have 4 so moving on!

9:50 am

mael

like a pineapple

9:51 am

hokie carla

I think this might be one of those days where everyone but me thinks this is easy

9:52 am

mael

it was easy for me until I got down to 20, now I'm very stuck :)

9:52 am

mael

not a lot of weird words at least!

9:53 am

hokie carla

there are certain players that I ignore how easily they finish, and you are one

9:54 am

mael

it's funny, I always feel like you have a much easier go at it than me!

9:54 am

MollyL

Me too Carla. The speed at which some players get through these grids eludes me.

9:54 am

hokie carla

yep

9:54 am

mael

phantom: satanist

9:55 am

HarryHood

these last 4 are impossible. I'm taking a break - gotta write some letters of rec. have a nice day all!

9:55 am

MollyL

That is rather strange since Carla is always here long after you are finished, mael

9:55 am

hokie carla

but mael and ruru are stealthy about their finishes. are they finding them all without a list, or going to the list with a few left to finish up? maybe I should have more mystery.

9:56 am

hokie carla

exactly, molly. certain people come in and finish in one fell swoop. I come back all day long looking.

9:56 am

MollyL

What? You mean not put every minute detail of how you are solving the grid in the chat?

9:56 am

hokie carla

I'm sure it's what the people want ðŸ¤£

9:57 am

mael

I list at the very end, usually, because I like finishing. I just play when I'm at my desk for work, it helps me relax haha

9:58 am

mael

Carla is there after but I just feel like she has an ease to it :)

9:59 am

hokie carla

oh geez, i'm like the slowest player here

9:59 am

mael

I wouldn't think so, you're always so helpful

9:59 am

origami

I think I got you there, hokie. The grids I actually finish take me forever!!

10:00 am

hokie carla

maybe you are too busy folding paper ðŸ˜

10:00 am

BzznBea

ha

10:01 am

origami

ðŸ˜Š

10:01 am

MollyL

I just can't stare at the yellow screen for too long anymore. I gave up caring about finishing a long time ago.

10:02 am

hokie carla

I definitely can let it go now without finishing

10:02 am

mael

I'm staring anyway, at least this is a break from work emails :) I also play muted while I'm on stupid conference calls

10:02 am

BzznBea

There is sound?

10:03 am

hokie carla

that confused me too, but I think she means she has her phone muted so they don't hear the typing

10:03 am

mael

the clicky clacky of the keyboard would give me away

10:03 am

BzznBea

ahh

10:04 am

rururocks

thinks mael needs to learn stealth typing

10:04 am

hokie carla

back when I worked in the late 90s I had no work to do and a minesweeper addiction. the guy I shared a cube wall with would yell over, "you sweeping?"

10:04 am

hurshy

lol

10:04 am

mael

hah

10:04 am

mael

minesweeper was so fun

10:04 am

MollyL

I type during conference calls all the time

10:05 am

mael

I am a very heavy typer, not sure why. I'd rather mute my mic than worry about it

10:05 am

hokie carla

we also did not have internet until '97 or '98

10:05 am

BzznBea

I would be finding words faster if it weren't for the neighbors having a screaming match and my husband asking me about my family tree...

10:05 am

hokie carla

I am surprised you are old enough to know minesweeper, mael.

10:06 am

hokie carla

haha bea, hope there is no gunfire today

10:06 am

BzznBea

it was getting pretty heated

10:06 am

mael

I'm not that young! we didn't have internet when I was a wee one either, just lots of minesweeper and solitaire

10:06 am

bichon

We had a thunderstorm yesterday. First rain since last month

10:06 am

mael

oh bichon, I'm so jealous!

10:07 am

mael

did it bring some cooler temps too?

10:07 am

hokie carla

we had one as well. looks like my rain gauge is at 1/2".

10:07 am

MollyL

*Imagines maels co-workers shouting "Could you please stop typing so loud??"

10:07 am

hokie carla

we have one daily though

10:07 am

hokie carla

and it's so humid again today, like walking in soup

10:08 am

mael

I work from my home office, so it's just me a my cats unless I'm on a conference :) luckily for them my cats don't care

10:09 am

hurshy

today's bee is haaaaard

10:09 am

periwinkle

10:10 am

hokie carla

10:10 am

hokie carla

10:10 am

MollyL

Your brainiac friend will pop in and claim to be almost done with Spelling Bee

10:10 am

mael

I thought I was in trouble with the Bee, there were too many possibilities left

10:10 am

hurshy

10:10 am

mael

hah, sorry, I meant wordle

10:11 am

mael

10:11 am

hokie carla

if it makes you feel better, molly, one time ruru told us he doesn't like the bee because it's too easy for him.

10:11 am

mael

better than yesterday! where every single word ended in Y!

10:11 am

MollyL

I wasn't talking about Ru and see, male is done with Spelling Bee too.

10:12 am

MollyL

Oops mael

10:12 am

hurshy

mael you're done as in you got queen bee?

10:12 am

hokie carla

I know who you're talking about, but mael and hurshy are just as good as moo on the bee. I'm super slow at it, just like here!

10:12 am

MollyL

Me, I'm done with all the hard word games I play and I have read the entire internet!! TA DA!

10:13 am

bichon

10:14 am

periwinkle

10:14 am

MollyL

Well, I believe Mr B is a word game genius. I've seen him strut his stuff on TV.

10:14 am

hokie carla

i keep seeing things like actividad at the bee

10:14 am

hokie carla

yes, it's spanish

10:15 am

hurshy

and the yogurt, activia

10:15 am

mael

yeah, I like the small boards. Queen Bee is much easier even if the words are usually harder to come by!

10:15 am

hurshy

and verbs that end in E

10:15 am

mael

I'm mad that ATAVIC isn't a word today

10:15 am

mael

it's only 20 words for QB today

10:16 am

10:19 am

bichon

Mr. B was a university librarian. He was known as "The man who knows everything"

10:22 am

MollyL

All that library information just seeped into his brain via osmosis.

hurshy

10:23 am

rururocks

I thought the man who knows everything was a beloved babble player

10:23 am

hokie carla

back when I worked in the 90s with no internet, anytime something came up that we would just google these days, our admin would call up the library and ask them and they'd look it up. I had no idea you could ask librarians things other than where books were.

10:24 am

hurshy

you should watch Desk Set

I'm surprised this game doesn't bore people like that

1:56 pm

hokie carla

if you're bored you can guess my H

1:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you have horse sounds?

1:56 pm

joym999

I'm going to list with 40 words left, in hopes of getting some work done today.

1:56 pm

hokie carla

me?

1:57 pm

hokie carla

I don't see neigh

1:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

actually that's incorrect, it's a hybrid horse + donkey

1:57 pm

hokie carla

I don't see mule

1:57 pm

joym999

There's an AS8?!?

1:57 pm

hokie carla

1:58 pm

cybernan

good morning/afternoon -- not seeing much of anything

1:58 pm

hokie carla

maybe joy

1:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

lol

1:58 pm

hokie carla

hey nan

1:58 pm

moolingwa

rhymes with the plural of the word of a horse sound

1:58 pm

hokie carla

well, that was easy, thanks, joy

1:58 pm

joym999

is that a clue carla?

1:59 pm

moolingwa

but mule I think is with male donkey and female horse, the h is when the genders are switched (or I may have it backward)

1:59 pm

hokie carla

it's a pl like the at7 but with an s thrown in

2:00 pm

joym999

ty, just monkeyed it but have no idea what it means

2:00 pm

hokie carla

hmm, not sure I've ever heard of the other way. but I know thanks to tigon and liger it matters.

2:00 pm

moolingwa

still 10 to go :)

2:00 pm

moolingwa

yeah, it's not very common

2:00 pm

hokie carla

I should just double check all my plurals

2:01 pm

moolingwa

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

Sophie512

2:10 pm

hokie carla

2:10 pm

Sophie512

alternate spelling of material

2:10 pm

2:10 pm

cybernan

hokie carla
