Freeman

7:48 am

hokie carla

I don't know robes, I keep trying to make one of the AD5's a 7 but maybe that's where I'm going wrong.

I just read some interesting psychological studies on people who hate the word "moist".

11:56 am

hokie carla

11:57 am

moolingwa

haven't found any words tho that I'd consider sus...so maybe the two I'm missing are your non-enable ones

11:58 am

hokie carla

12:09 pm

hokie carla

cheryl, have you never heard of that for cheap liquor?

12:09 pm

cherlyq

I have but thought it was slang

12:09 pm

hokie carla

there's a lot of slang in enable, just no consistency

12:10 pm

cherlyq

12:13 pm

cybernan

yesterday's had a g in the middle on free bee

12:20 pm

MollyL

This is the link TO gave for free spelling bee. It's not the same as the New York Times one.
https://spellingbeegame.org/

12:23 pm

cybernan

freebee.fun/play/top# is supposed to be the same as the NYT

12:24 pm

cybernan

I'm wondering if they just do the flip earlier

12:24 pm

MollyL

That is not a link Nan.

12:25 pm

cybernan

you have to put the https:// in front of it -- I thought that was common knowledge

12:27 pm

MollyL

Doesn't work that way either. It's just freebee.fun

12:27 pm

MollyL

And you don't have to put https:// in front anymore

12:30 pm

cherlyq
