8:51 am

mattygroves

OK, should have seen that EA4. Looking for the 7. Ta!

8:52 am

penquis

i think the ea words come from the second row E....

8:52 am

mattygroves

The ea4/7 did come from that bottom E. Still looking for the et7 - I feel like it's a needle in a haystack :)

8:52 am

penquis

ah...one ea 4 does come from the bottom row E....

8:53 am

penquis

sorry to be confusing...

8:53 am

mattygroves

May I have a clue, please, for the et7? I'm grid blind, I feel

8:53 am

penquis

ends with a "one who" ending.....

8:54 am

penquis

like the ending for the guy who cleans your teeth....

8:57 am

MollyL

ea4/7 does indeed come from the bottom row, middle E

8:57 am

MollyL

ea4/5 comes from another E.

8:57 am

penquis

yes, i did correct my statement...

8:58 am

MollyL

Oh, I didn't see your statement Pen, I saw Matty's.

8:58 am

MollyL

Sometimes chat moves too fast for my slow eyes

8:59 am

penquis

9:03 am

mattygroves

Looking for that 7 - thanks for the clue :)

11:06 am

Goodness! I just factory reset my third of three Google Nest Mini speakers. On a day for three days. I'm guessing this is an inelegant update cycle.

moolingwa

cool

11:09 am

moolingwa

I have several rooms in my house too...fortunately some of them came with speakers already, so just needed a unit to connect them

11:10 am

hurshy

pangram took me forever at the bee today... when i finally got it that put me into Genius

11:11 am

dcseain

google sent me one for free, I bought the other three, then upgraded the original Nest Mini to the Gen2, as better functionality.

11:11 am

dcseain

I've not tried the spelling bee yet.

11:11 am

hurshy

it's an interesting one

11:12 am

dcseain

yes, several friends have said just enough to pique my interest.

11:12 am

moolingwa

yeah, haven't got the pangram yet

11:12 am

moolingwa

only at great

11:21 am

hurshy

i'm always amazed/discouraged after hitting genius at how many more words there still are to find, lol

11:23 am

hurshy

and how then i just keep thinking of the same words i already have

11:23 am

dcseain

that's a thing in Semantle, too, think of what you did guesses ago.

11:25 am

moolingwa

I agree on that hursh, I think I'm so close, and find I'm miles away from Bee

11:26 am

moolingwa

still 19 short of Genius

11:26 am

hurshy

it's even worse if you do the OTHER bee at spellingbeegame.org, because there is no way to know how many words there are in it!

11:26 am

hurshy

but then when you do find them all it is quite a feeling

11:29 am
