hokie carla

lol, how can you find a 9 letter word in 2 minutes that you don't know?

12:31 am

justafreep

my babble monkeying rule of "if you can pronounce it, type it" in these situations helps. There aren't a lot of 9 letter options for that!

Sam Snead

"TINNIES" AND "CANNIES" perfectly good words in my pub!

6:40 am

Scrabbler

I agree, Sam.

7:12 am

hurshy

oooof

7:12 am

Scrabbler

oooof

7:12 am

hurshy

on my way to work this morning i had a scare

7:12 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh!

7:12 am

hurshy

there was a car in my lane headed directly towards me

7:13 am

hurshy

LUCKILY there is a wide shoulder

7:13 am

Scrabbler

Yikes

7:13 am

hurshy

i was like, geez, dude, even if there is a passing zone, you have to check for other cars

7:13 am

Scrabbler

He was probably distracted by his phone.

7:13 am

bichon

Glad you're okay

7:13 am

hurshy

i dunno, i can't imagine anyone would try to PASS while on a phone

7:14 am

Scrabbler

People do a lot in their cars besides driving--eating, applying make-up, using their phone...

7:14 am

hurshy

i know, but not while PASSING in an opposing traffic lane

7:15 am

Scrabbler

I see dangerous drivers so often.

7:18 am

Scrabbler

Did you swerve or did the driver return to his lane?

7:20 am

hurshy

i swerved to the shoulder

7:20 am

hurshy

he couldn't just return to his lane because he was lined up with the car he was trying to pass

7:20 am

bichon

what a nightmare

7:22 am

Scrabbler

It could have ended badly.

7:23 am

hurshy

thankfully it didn't! :)

7:26 am

hurshy

add "seitan" to the list of food words that don't go

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Boo

7:38 am

MollyL

I had to look seitan up. Looks icky.

7:38 am

hurshy

yeah i don't think i've tried it, but i know of its existence

7:45 am

jylcat

I had seitan in the 90s... not sure if it's gotten better but it's... not great.

7:49 am

cybernan

good morning everyone

7:49 am

hokie carla

hey nan, et al

7:49 am

hurshy

morning nan

7:50 am

hokie carla

back for my last 27

7:50 am

player girl

Can anyone please clue the 9?

7:50 am

hurshy

it's a superlative built on the thing you wear on your top half

7:50 am

cybernan

haven't found it, -- I think someone said it was slang

7:51 am

hurshy

based on a not-very-used-anymore adjective

7:51 am

cybernan

that could be anything, hurshy!

7:52 am

hurshy

the thing that you wear on your top half could not be anything...

7:52 am

BzznBea

its sh9.60

7:52 am

player girl

Got it. TY Hurshy. I am being haunted by entireties!!

7:52 am

bichon

ty hurshy

7:53 am

hurshy

well you can have the singular at any rate, player girl!

7:53 am

hokie carla

I think the root means cranky or curmudgeonly

7:54 am

hurshy

no, i have the impression that it means like a hairy situation

7:54 am

cybernan

I thought the root was a garment

7:54 am

hurshy

looked it up - hokie is correct, not me

7:54 am

cybernan

guess it is slang I don't know

7:54 am

BzznBea

Brit speak

7:54 am

hurshy

the garment is the root root, but that's the noun. adding a Y to that makes the adj that is the immediate root of the 9

7:56 am

cybernan

ok ty -- ?

7:57 am

cybernan

half of that went missing --- is it the same has the word we would use - the one with a double t?

7:57 am

hurshy

meanwhile has anyone got the Xs?

7:57 am

MollyL

Yes

7:58 am

Scrabbler

Nan, I am wearing a sh5/12 and pants.

7:58 am

cybernan

lol - was just going to ask about that. Remember a couble of xa's being called last night -- don't know the stats though

7:58 am

cybernan

ty scrabbs --- i got the word

7:58 am

MollyL

xa7/52 and xa8/70

7:59 am

cybernan

xa 7 I think

7:59 am

hokie carla

I had to look them up. all I could see was xantham.

8:00 am

cybernan

yes - that is getting in my way too

8:00 am

hurshy

ty very much!!!

8:00 am

hurshy

you have the right beginning on that

8:00 am

cybernan

I think zanthra should be a word

8:00 am

MollyL

She looked them up

8:01 am

hokie carla

my first thought too, but I think she was talking to nan

8:01 am

hurshy

well i know HOKIE looked them up, but, the comment might help Nan or someone else

8:01 am

cybernan

*xanthra

8:01 am

MollyL

Love this from the definition "a yellow coloring matter in madder"

8:02 am

ChampFit

Just monkeyed the xa8

8:03 am

ChampFit

44 left...10 of them are 8's.

8:03 am

MollyL

My brain doesn't work that way. I can't just randomly type a word I've never heard of.

8:04 am

cybernan

me neither - will have to look it up as well

8:04 am

hokie carla

me either, which is why it was funny freep found the 9 within 2 min of ruru giving the stat

8:04 am

Scrabbler

Morewords helped me.

8:05 am

ChampFit

Mine usually doesn't, but today it did. Whatever works!

8:05 am

hokie carla

well the xa7 ends like a minty girl scout cookie starts and then you add a vowel for the 8

8:05 am

MollyL

Carla, the people who play at the flip are strange and different creatures.

8:05 am

hokie carla

true dat

8:06 am

hokie carla

hey, since no one cared yesterday, I'm telling it again ðŸ˜œ, yesterday's wordle was my starting word, so I got it in 1.

8:07 am

cybernan

don't know how you managed that! took me 4

8:07 am

ChampFit

AWESOME!!! Did you buy a lottery ticket too?

8:07 am

cybernan

but well done

8:07 am

hokie carla

should have

8:07 am

MollyL

No managing if it's your starting word. What was the word? I don't remember.

8:07 am

hokie carla

thyme

8:08 am

hokie carla

so now I gotta find a new starter with lots of consonants

8:09 am

MollyL

Crypt

8:09 am

MollyL

I go the other way and get the vowels out of the way

8:09 am

ChampFit

Me too.

8:10 am

hokie carla

I used to do that with READY, but then you're stuck with something like *A**E and a billion possibles

8:11 am

ChampFit

Yep! And that totally sucks.

8:11 am

ChampFit

You'll get it, but it'll take you all 6 tries.

8:11 am

hokie carla

in dordle I do READY, MOIST, CLUNG and that takes care of 15 letters.

8:11 am

MollyL

I got today's in 3 so wordle said "Impressive!" (I take my compliments where I get them)

8:11 am

hokie carla

lol, I need to go do it

8:12 am

hokie carla

still 27 left here as I haven't actually looked for new words

8:12 am

cybernan

going to take a wordle break

8:12 am

ChampFit

That always cracks me up. "Thank you for the validation, computer!"

8:12 am

BzznBea

I got it in three as well.

8:12 am

MollyL

Spelling Bee is the best. It calls you GENIUS at the almost top level.

8:13 am

ChampFit

BBL for my last 41. Enjoy and good luck!

8:13 am

hokie carla

also got 3

8:15 am

mael

I got it in 2 today!

8:15 am

hokie carla

nice! well, not as good as my 1 yesterday ðŸ¤£ðŸ¤£

8:16 am

mael

that's amazing, hokie! that's quite the starting word!

8:16 am

MollyL

Someone is very full of themself

8:16 am

hokie carla

ok, I still need 3 lower A's. any against words (besides the 4)?

8:16 am

hokie carla

smug even

8:17 am

mael

hey, you get wordle in 1 you're allowed to be smug

8:18 am

hokie carla

per scoredle I had 6 options for my 3rd guess today. luckily I've never heard of the other 5.

8:19 am

cybernan

yep -- took me all 6 -- a lot of options

8:20 am

cybernan

bacl after brealfast

8:20 am

hokie carla

well I finally found 2 words. 25 left.

8:21 am

MollyL

Scoredle? Seriously?

8:21 am

hokie carla

it's not a game, you enter the wordle answer then your guesses in turn and each one it shows how many possibles.

8:21 am

mael

I check wordlebot

8:22 am

mael

which does the same, but is never happy with my guesses

8:22 am

hokie carla

yeah, I've used that a couple of times since they added it but I don't like it as much.

8:23 am

MollyL

Yeah, it's just the "dle" mania that kills me

8:23 am

hokie carla

funny, per wordlebot it says I had only one option for the last guess, so is scoredle using a different list?

8:23 am

mattygroves

It's like 'gate' for every scandal post Watergate - everything is 'thingate'

8:24 am

MollyL

That would explain the 5 other options being words you didn't kow

8:24 am

hokie carla

yeah

8:25 am

hokie carla

the oldest & I play heardle every day and compare results. it's like name that tune. I beat him today.

8:25 am

MollyL

Welldle, youdle didle thedle bestdle youdle coulddle

8:27 am

hokie carla

10:25 am

MollyL

Nan, as far as I know, Zoom hasn't been around in a while. He took a long break the last time he had mental health issues to deal with. Hopefully, he is getting the help he needs. He is often in my thoughts.

10:29 am

mkg

Why isnt taser in grid? Is that a brand name?

10:34 am

mkg

Any clues for the x words? Ty

10:47 am

cybernan

ty - would never have thought of that for the at

10:56 am

penquis

me either...don't think i have seen that one before...

11:00 am

MollyL

Sounds Biblical

11:00 am

cybernan

was there a ca 8 called earlier in the chat -- my memory is so bad

11:01 am

penquis

i have one....a comparative word...

11:07 am

cybernan

11:07 am

cybernan

enough -- going to list

11:07 am

penquis

11:08 am

there is a similar li 7/8 combo...

11:08 am

11:08 am

11:08 am

cybernan

11:08 am

cybernan

*omg

11:09 am

penquis

that's depressing...

11:12 am

cybernan

I think the an is against something -- just looking for it

11:13 am

cybernan

or maybe not

11:14 am

MollyL

Against blood material

11:16 am

penquis

ty, molly...

11:18 am

cybernan

oh well - no wonder I can't find it -- not a medic

11:20 am

cybernan

only blood material I can name is plasma

11:20 am

penquis

it's a four letter word that i am sure you already have....ends in a vowel...

i often don't see that one...thanks, saani....

11:24 am

MollyL

Back to Nan, nobody doesn't like _____ Lee (but spell it different)

11:26 am

MollyL

That is so funny. There was a big debate in my house last night over "often don't" or "don't often"

11:27 am

penquis

it actually sounds better to say "don't often"....

11:27 am

Uneaixoise

Babble blindness..... don't see the ni6

4:40 pm

moolingwa

you'll kick yourself

4:40 pm

hokie carla

4:47 pm

hokie carla

yeah, since 33% of my words are c's that tracks

4:47 pm

moolingwa

yeah

4:48 pm

hokie carla

but not getting the formal wear part

4:48 pm

moolingwa

well businesswear I guess

4:48 pm

moolingwa

generally not worn with t-shirts

4:49 pm

hokie carla

ok, got it

4:49 pm

hokie carla

but there is no singular

4:49 pm

so, thinking maybe another C8 and L8, maybe another A8 since those are the ones we have in common.

4:54 pm

moolingwa

yeah wouldn't surprise

4:54 pm

moolingwa

assuming we have the same missing 8s :)

4:54 pm

hokie carla

it's very possible I'm about to declare I'm stuck forever and look at the list.

5:00 pm

hokie carla

5:01 pm

5:01 pm

hokie carla

I got that from the chat earlier

5:03 pm

hokie carla

well, so far nothing new or unusual, but I started at the bottom, so there's still a change for weird C words

5:05 pm

moolingwa

not sure I can putz much longer...feeling tired

5:05 pm

hokie carla

I have come to a T word that I can't find. moving on...

5:08 pm

hokie carla

well, I know you don't like clues, but I can make some guesses if you want

5:12 pm

5:17 pm

moolingwa

I suspect a ca8, have two of them

5:18 pm

5:18 pm

moolingwa

will look

5:18 pm

moolingwa

yeah, found the ca8/55

5:19 pm

5:19 pm

moolingwa

0-1-1-1-2

5:19 pm

hokie carla

5:19 pm

moolingwa

5:21 pm

hokie carla

first ta6/18 is another I can't find

5:22 pm

moolingwa

there's one after the scottish one?

5:23 pm

hokie carla

5:23 pm

hokie carla

5:23 pm

moolingwa

ta6

5:24 pm

moolingwa

found my e8

5:25 pm

moolingwa

so missing T's are either 5, 6 or 7

5:25 pm

moolingwa

unless the missing a8 is a plural, in which case they're 5 and 6

5:25 pm

hokie carla

wish I could rem the scottish one. but my brother called and I can't concentrate on this.

5:26 pm

moolingwa

it's not so much a scottish word, as something that is scottish

5:26 pm

moolingwa

materially so anyway

5:26 pm

hokie carla

if it's not scottish it's crap

5:27 pm

moolingwa

heh

5:28 pm

moolingwa

5:28 pm

hokie carla
