12:33 am

Gillie

I didn't know the en7/8 pair before either, but it's kind of a good word

12:34 am

justafreep

sigh. I am stuck with one left. A c4 that I will probably fish slap myself when I find. But... I'm not finding!

12:34 am

Gillie

I have all the C's, and none is terribly weird

12:34 am

Gillie

But one is quite rude

12:35 am

Gillie

Oh, I take it back - I'm still missing 4 from the lower C

12:36 am

justafreep

that's where mine is, too

12:38 am

Gillie

There is actually a fish - were you making a pun?

12:38 am

justafreep

no

12:39 am

justafreep

I have that one, though.

12:39 am

Gillie

Ok

12:39 am

justafreep

ah! fireworks!

12:40 am

Gillie

And I just got my last C too - but 16 others to go

12:40 am

justafreep

a babblet

12:42 am

Gillie

Is it weird that I can't see the other en7?

12:42 am

Gillie

I should say, congrats!

12:43 am

Gillie

Never mind, found it

12:54 am

Gillie

Well, now I feel as though I should be able to finish without listing, but I'm stuck at 6 left.

12:56 am

Gillie

Well, leaving it for now

4:03 am

I'm missing one of the EN7s as well...the one I have is a plural (en7/32)...

5:11 am

lbdawger

5:26 am

ChampFit

Thanks lbd!

5:27 am

mattygroves

Thank you!

5:28 am

ItalianGreyhound

The C word still allowed, altho the def.basically says "dont ever use this word!"

5:28 am

mattygroves

Some brits utterly LOVE that word

5:28 am

ChampFit

I hate it, but of course tried it.

5:29 am

mattygroves

Is the PI 8/9 a 'real' word (i.e. one I'm likely to use)?

5:30 am

ChampFit

It's Pi and yes.

5:30 am

mattygroves

OK, looking! Yep, Pi - I capitalised both letters :)

5:31 am

ChampFit

Sorry...just making sure! It's twisty and a compound.

5:32 am

mattygroves

Ah hah! Thank you!

5:32 am

ChampFit

ChampFit

Trees we have here in Texas, IG

5:49 am

mattygroves

Ah, thanks!

5:49 am

ItalianGreyhound

7:09 am

hurshy

7:09 am

Good day.

8:12 am

rururocks

good morning scrabs

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Ruru, I just returned from a trip to the Finger Lakes which is wine country. Vineyards cover the hills.

8:14 am

rururocks

oh yeah.. i've had some nice wines from there

8:15 am

Scrabbler

There are so many wineries that I wonder how they thrive.

8:19 am

rururocks

they all seem to make different varietals

8:20 am

rururocks

man that freep is amazing at finding large words at the flip

8:21 am

rururocks

he pointed out the pi7/8 immediately .. i just found it at the end

8:21 am

Scrabbler

When I review the chat at the flip I am amazed at how quickly long words are found.

8:21 am

rururocks

they are word geniuses

8:24 am

Scrabbler

My eyes stop at 4 letters, then I look for an S.

8:24 am

hurshy

we all have our strengths

8:25 am

Scrabbler

Yes, but we are here because we like words.

8:26 am

hurshy

yeah. but i mean, i may not be as good as freep, but i'm still better at finding twisted up words in a board than 98-99% of the population, lol

8:26 am

rururocks

i do this game to keep my mind sharp mostly

8:26 am

hurshy

babble: the metaphorical whetstone

8:27 am

Scrabbler

I find this meditative and relaxing.

8:27 am

hurshy

the bee is more meditative for me. i find that if i really think, i don't find words as well as if i let my mind relax and just look at the letters. it's weird.

8:32 am

hokie carla

hey, I called 2 8s the other dayðŸ˜œ

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Yay, carla.

8:37 am

hokie carla

haha, thank you, scrabs. it's always a good feeling when I beat those super word nerds (no offense, only admiration intended) to the call.

8:38 am

Scrabbler

I always need help with big words, unless we have an -ing or -tion endings.

8:38 am

hokie carla

they are certainly not my strong suit

8:38 am

MollyL

And all this time I thought freep was a she

8:39 am

hokie carla

I've always thought freep was a he

8:39 am

hokie carla

8:40 am

MollyL

No, it has the genderless icon

8:40 am

BzznBea

It's the neutral icon.

8:40 am

hokie carla

then we could both be right. or wrong. ðŸ˜

8:41 am

MollyL

Maybe we should call freep "they" ðŸ˜Š

Question for ladies, when you notice your underwear drawer is empty (because you forgot to out them in the dryer, what are you apt to do? Go without, or wear your partners? Just wondering/

1:08 pm

hokie carla

well, I have an overabundance of clothes so that hasn't happened

1:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I know that's a way to stun the chat, but I have trouble believing there is a 9 word in here.

1:08 pm

MollyL

Not a problem for me as I line dry my lingerie

1:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But if you forgot?

1:13 pm

MollyL

I don't ever have all my underwear in the wash at once. I do laundry more frequently than that.

1:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I get it- you never run out of underwear.

1:13 pm

MollyL

Plus, underwear doesn't take that long to dry

1:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The more things I know about people the more I realize the amount of unnecessary problems I deal with on a daily basis.

1:15 pm

MollyL

But in some odd circumstance where I was faced with no underwear, I would go without before I would wear someone else's.

1:15 pm

hokie carla

the 9 is a plural compound word

1:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is it Smaler than a breadbox?

1:18 pm

hokie carla

yes, is this 20 questions?

1:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Can I hold it in my hand? Are Women as well as men likely to have it? Do you ever touch them?

1:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, this is Miss Arlene Francis on What's My Line.

1:19 pm

hokie carla

yes no I have

1:19 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We can w

1:19 pm

hokie carla

hmm, you know that's before my time

1:21 pm

hokie carla

I don't know if you have them in NYC. my SIL said years ago they didn't in Memphis, which I found odd because I assumed they were everywhere.

1:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We can switch to To Tell the Truth if you like. It really is more intellectually stimulating than Jeopardy, Love Kitty Carlisle.

1:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was watching you tube and they announced when CBS added a station in Hartford.

1:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

These things soothe my brain. It will need soothing on election night.

1:23 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Will you guess my line? I am self employed.

1:25 pm

hokie carla
