hello all

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Hi aslindy

6:21 am

Scrabbler

I passed halfway and must get to work. Enjoy the day.

6:21 am

aslindy

you too!

7:03 am

periwinkle

good morning all. help with top row E please

7:07 am

Kiani

hi all

7:07 am

pabtrek

ef 7 and 8

7:08 am

periwinkle

ty just found them in my scrabble dictionary. new words for me

7:08 am

periwinkle

Turkish title of respect

7:23 am

aslindy

hi kiani, peri, pabtrek

7:30 am

MollyL

It's words like that that make me grumpy about these grids

7:32 am

aslindy

because they are not english words?

7:35 am

MollyL

I don't mind words that are not English as long as they have some common knowledge base with people who speak English. There is no rhyme or reason to the foreign words Enable "accepts". It takes merde, shit in French, but not the more commonly known merci, thank you.

7:37 am

mael

it also doesn't take shite, which is a hell of a lot more common than merde

7:37 am

mael

but the ef words are literary and were in use when the dictionary enable picked was compiled

7:39 am

aslindy

yeah, it doesn't make much sense

7:39 am

mael

which was what feels like eons ago, hah

7:40 am

saanichcat

enable is NOT a dictionary; it is a selective word LIST. That,s the frustrating difference!

7:40 am

MollyL

What book was the ef word used in?

7:40 am

mael

it wasn't a list selected from a specific dictionary? today I learned

7:41 am

mael

I mean, I knew the ef words.

7:41 am

mael

but I read a lot of older novels as a kid :)

7:42 am

saanichcat

The ef words are fairly commom, came across them in reading, same as mael

7:43 am

mael

and this is not to say that I know most of the strange words enable selects, but ef7 was definitely one I know independently of babble

7:44 am

MollyL

I must have the low-rent reading list then. Never seen those words before.

7:45 am

aslindy

I am reading a series about an Egyptologist, those ef words have been used a few times

7:45 am

mael

I don't think it's low-rent reading at all, Molly. You just maybe weren't into Victorian travelogues or historical novels or the like. Fantasy grabbed the word too.

7:50 am

mael

but that does not counter the point that Enable is full of incredibly obscure or obsolete terms :)

7:58 am

aslindy

clue for mi8 please? either one

7:58 am

aslindy

I mean, mi8,60

8:01 am

mael

hadn't made it down there yet, looking!

8:01 am

MollyL

Use the incorrect prefex and attach it to "dictionaries and encyclopedias are _____ence books.

8:02 am

MollyL

Now that is a dumb word

8:02 am

mael

thanks molly!

8:02 am

aslindy

thank you molly

8:03 am

aslindy

that has the same beginning and ending of the other mi8,60

8:05 am

mael

that also got me a mi8/50 and a di8/50

8:19 am

Aloyisius

is the mi8.60 a weirdo or normal word? It is my last one and I am blind to it..ty for any hints in the right direction

8:24 am

Aloyisius

ask and ye shall see.. found it. fw

8:24 am

MollyL

Both mi8/60 are weird, in my opinion

8:25 am

MollyL

Funny that you had one and not the other

8:25 am

Aloyisius

must scoot.. Happy Babbling to all!

8:30 am

mael

bye aloy!

8:31 am

mael

I don't have the second mi8/60 either, it's my last 8. Hmmm

8:32 am

ChampFit

Super similar to the first one...

8:32 am

mattygroves

I have neither ;)

8:32 am

mael

thanks champ! moving some letters around...

8:33 am

mael

aha! was looking in the whole wrong place, thank you

8:33 am

hokie carla

I also have neither. in fact, I have no 8's.

8:35 am

mael

FW!

8:36 am

hokie carla

nice

8:37 am

mael

there's an ar8/9 combo, di8 x2, ef8, fa8, fi8, mi8 x4, and mo8

8:42 am

Shirlockc

so far, the grid is much nicer than yesterday's

8:46 am

ChampFit

Let's not speak of the dreaded draindeer who live down in the sewer with Pennywise

9:06 am

rururocks

yes. best to curb talks about draindeer before we end up in the gutter

9:08 am

aebmusica

After swimming with no bathing cap yesterday I Drained ears for awhile.

9:10 am

aslindy

well, I am done. time to dasher!

9:14 am

rastapopolous

so the dictionary says sh5 is a verb, but we can't make it pt?

9:14 am

aebmusica

first fe6/30 .......clue please

9:15 am

rastapopolous

think about leg bones

9:17 am

aebmusica

9:17 am

rururocks

or try to be humeris

9:33 am

MollyL

Don't anyone go into orthopedic surgery with Doctor Ruru

9:35 am

rururocks

you have a bone to pick with me molly?

9:43 am

hokie carla

little help with the top E?

9:43 am

hokie carla

stats-wise?

9:44 am

rururocks

ef7/56 and 8/75

9:44 am

hokie carla

oh geez

9:45 am

hokie carla

so I guess not a regular word

9:46 am

rururocks

it is if you're a turk

9:47 am

MollyL

According to earlier chat, it's well known if you read books about Victorian times or Egyptologists. ðŸ™„

9:47 am

hokie carla

guess I will just look it up, thanks

9:48 am

hokie carla

yeah, never would've stumbled onto that

9:49 am

rururocks

it's in the movies too

9:51 am

rururocks

i need to study m words.. i'm lost on my last 6

9:53 am

MollyL

What movies?

9:54 am

rururocks

oh movies about istanbul and such..

9:55 am

MollyL

Can say I have ever watched a movie about Istanbul. This place has interesting book and movie taste.

9:56 am

justafreep

Oddly, it's never in movies about Constantinople.

9:56 am

rururocks

The one i remember was a prisoner movie

9:57 am

MollyL

I saw Midnight Express but I don't remember the ef word from it.

9:58 am

justafreep

Oh. Uh. Not to be crass, but I feel like if I were trapped in a Turkish prison, I'd use the ef word....

10:00 am

rururocks

I don't think it was Midnight Express.. although I did see that movie

10:01 am

moolingwa

I have 3 mi8s so far

11:32 am

periwinkle

do they all start with mis?

11:32 am

moolingwa

the mo8 I believe is the deposits left over from glaciers, looks like an anagram for a type of lettuce

11:33 am

moolingwa

2 do, the other does not

11:33 am

penquis

i have FI 8 and MO 8...

11:34 am

to take the wrong underlying meaning from something

11:35 am

nrkii

to attribute wrongly

11:36 am

moolingwa

yeah, it looks italian

11:36 am

periwinkle

got the first one you clued ty nrkii

11:36 am

moolingwa

apparently it's Turkish

11:36 am

periwinkle

the top E is an obscure word ef7/8

11:36 am

nrkii

got it!!

11:37 am

periwinkle

yay!!

11:37 am

nrkii

okay, now about that mi8 that is not a mis word...?

11:37 am

nrkii

is a "center" word?

11:37 am

periwinkle

to attribute wrongly not finding it

11:37 am

moolingwa

the mi8 looks like it's an adjective that has been converted into a verb

11:38 am

moolingwa

it's a 6/8 combo

11:39 am

hokie carla

and here I thought or5 was a phantom. that was my missing O on top.

hokie carla

11:42 am

hokie carla

def. never seen that

11:43 am

nrkii

Thanks, Molly, that did it!

11:43 am

hokie carla

of course it is the archaic version of the di word

11:43 am

MollyL

Me neither but apparently my reading is quiet plebian compared to some ðŸ˜Š

11:43 am

hokie carla

thank you, enable, for including all the archaic versions of words ðŸ™„

11:43 am

nrkii

dimine

11:43 am

hokie carla

I'm down to 62 ðŸ˜

11:50 am

11:52 am

nrkii

11:53 am

hokie carla

11:54 am

hokie carla

11:55 am

penquis

nrkii

okay, so that's the only di/mi matching pair...

12:04 pm

nrkii

12:04 pm

hokie carla

12:05 pm

nrkii

12:05 pm

hokie carla

it's not to plow a field wrong

folded sheets in dryer, blanket in washer, and changed sheets. Also too the Winter duvet off and put on the lightweight one I use most of the year.

1:10 pm

hokie carla

1:10 pm

dcseain

and there will be chocolate chip cookies later if the butter ever softens.

1:11 pm

dcseain

it's been out for 2h, and it's cool today, so patience is key.

The microwave is a great way to soften butter. Put a stick in and heat it 5 seconds on each side of the stick.

2:38 pm

hokie carla

2:42 pm

BzznBea

not sure which 4 you are talking about

2:42 pm

hokie carla

I'll risk the PB - sended

2:42 pm

hokie carla

instead of sent

2:43 pm

Shirlockc

wow, would never have tried that

2:44 pm

hokie carla

it was my last S on the bottom and I don't know why I tried it. I guess desperation.

2:54 pm

hokie carla

have made it to 24 left. 4-7-8-5. need 5 S and 5 i in 2nd col but everything else is <=3.

3:08 pm

O RR AA SS

3:10 pm

moolingwa

found an r

3:10 pm

hokie carla

M3
R R
A3 S5 D3
F i5
JJ

3:10 pm

moolingwa

all one one of the j's are related

3:11 pm

moolingwa

and that j that isn't related is a great tile dump

3:11 pm

hokie carla

hmm

3:12 pm

moolingwa

there's a latin plural m from the top that maybe you missed

3:12 pm

hokie carla

well, I have 4 related. don't see a way to make more without a D.

3:12 pm

moolingwa

keep imagining :)

3:14 pm

hokie carla

maybe the latin plural M goes with my other 2 missing ones

3:15 pm

moolingwa

well there's a stand alone latin plural m

3:15 pm

hokie carla

oh

3:16 pm

hokie carla

my last O was a 4 babblet. probably yours.

3:16 pm

moolingwa

I have all my 4s

3:16 pm

hokie carla

oh

3:17 pm

hokie carla

then an o5 babblet

3:17 pm

hokie carla

prob not since it's kind of a hobby for you

3:17 pm

moolingwa

it's the top o

3:18 pm

hokie carla

yeah, this one is from there

3:18 pm

moolingwa

it was that

3:18 pm

moolingwa

always seem to miss that

3:18 pm

moolingwa

5 to go

3:18 pm

moolingwa

three of which are 7s

3:18 pm

hokie carla

somehow I usually get that one

3:18 pm

hokie carla

found an i4 babblet!

3:19 pm

moolingwa

inconceivable!

3:19 pm

moolingwa

actually not really

3:19 pm

hokie carla

still no idea on the j's. I have a 4, 5, 5, 4

3:19 pm

moolingwa

j4 and j6

3:20 pm

moolingwa

one of them is a currency :)

3:21 pm

hokie carla

of course

3:21 pm

moolingwa

you can bet money on it

3:22 pm

moolingwa

weather is looking kind of rainish

3:23 pm

hokie carla

still sunny here

3:23 pm

moolingwa

phantom insofar...not that I need any i's

3:26 pm

moolingwa

maybe your right R is a 5

3:29 pm

moolingwa

5 of the i's are related (chemically)

3:31 pm

hokie carla

I have 5 im that look like they could be chemicalish

3:32 pm

moolingwa

ok, and the last i is also a chemical related one

3:32 pm

BzznBea

do you have an is?

3:32 pm

moolingwa

and the 3 before that are related too

3:32 pm

moolingwa

related to each other, not the last word

3:32 pm

hokie carla

I do not, though I have tried some is words

3:33 pm

BzznBea

is6.21

3:33 pm

hokie carla

duh, left off the last letter

3:33 pm

moolingwa

i need so much more r :)

3:34 pm

BzznBea

i got all the r's i hate leaving them until the end

3:34 pm

hokie carla

I can't even figure out which 2 r's I have on the right

3:34 pm

moolingwa

to have given food (again)

3:35 pm

hokie carla

that's from the left

3:35 pm

moolingwa

oh yeah

3:35 pm

moolingwa

r6?

3:35 pm

moolingwa

there's two other r5s that are related

3:36 pm

moolingwa

to each other, not the 6

3:36 pm

hokie carla

re4 babblet is from the right

3:36 pm

moolingwa

no, that's the left isn't it?

3:36 pm

moolingwa

the related 5s are from the right

3:37 pm

moolingwa

and then the 6

3:37 pm

hokie carla

no, the re4/4 has to be from the right, but I sure can't figure out what the other one I have from there is.

3:37 pm

hokie carla

oh, re6 is from there

3:37 pm

moolingwa

the three words I have off the right are r5, r5 and r6

3:37 pm

hokie carla

but its related 5 is from the left

3:38 pm

moolingwa

two related r5s

3:38 pm

moolingwa

for the 4

3:38 pm

moolingwa

oh nm, I see one of the 5s comes off the left

3:38 pm

hokie carla

no, the 4/4 can only be made from the right

3:38 pm

moolingwa

confiusing

3:38 pm

hokie carla

yes

3:39 pm

moolingwa

pretty sure you're missing r5/14

3:39 pm

hokie carla

ok, will look for that

3:39 pm

moolingwa

the other two related come from the left r

3:39 pm

hokie carla

yeah, a PT. could have sworn I tried that earlier. thx.

3:39 pm

hokie carla

hey, a column gray!

3:39 pm

moolingwa

3:42 pm

hokie carla

3:42 pm

BzznBea

your f could be the flower f7

3:42 pm

hokie carla

no, picked that up earlier from the chat

3:42 pm

moolingwa

wrong f

3:42 pm

hokie carla

and it's the lower F

3:42 pm

moolingwa

maybe a pt

3:42 pm

moolingwa

or a plural

3:43 pm

BzznBea

fa6.33 maybe

3:43 pm

hokie carla

was a one who does

3:43 pm

moolingwa

well if it's any consolation I have found none of my last 5

3:43 pm

hokie carla

fa6/27

3:43 pm

moolingwa

oh, I thought that was an adjective

3:44 pm

hokie carla

bea, guesses on my 3 a's?

3:44 pm

moolingwa

apparently it's a comparative

3:44 pm

hokie carla

oh, guess so

3:44 pm

moolingwa

assume you have an a6/7 combo

3:44 pm

hokie carla

you should never assume

3:44 pm

BzznBea

you have the 8/9

3:45 pm

moolingwa

yeah, she has just 4,5,6 and 7s left

3:45 pm

hokie carla

I have a 6/7 next to each other on the list, but they are unrelated.

3:45 pm

moolingwa

oh, I have a 6/7 combo

3:45 pm

BzznBea

are you missing an a4?

3:45 pm

moolingwa

maybe butt chemicals :)

3:45 pm

moolingwa

and you have the two I need :)

3:46 pm

hokie carla

the 8/9 are the butt chemicals, though, right?

3:46 pm

moolingwa

they are as well

3:46 pm

hokie carla

I have 3 a4

3:46 pm

moolingwa

there are only 3 a4

3:47 pm

moolingwa

these are contracted butt chemicals

3:47 pm

BzznBea

you have all those then

3:47 pm

hokie carla

do you have the as7 - don't be stupid, moo

3:47 pm

moolingwa

oh, I typoed it apparently

3:47 pm

moolingwa

3:49 pm

moolingwa

the j6 comes after your first j, but it's the 3rd j :)

3:49 pm

hokie carla

well, the 3rd one would come after the 1st one

3:50 pm

moolingwa

yes it would, but I said YOUR first one

3:50 pm

moolingwa

trying to give two clues in one

3:51 pm

moolingwa

sidefer - as in...what's a sidefer?

3:51 pm

hokie carla

but I have 5 now, if I put it after my first one, it would be 2nd

3:51 pm

hokie carla

am I being an airhead?

3:51 pm

hokie carla

it happens sometimes

3:51 pm

moolingwa

yes it would be, but it isn't

3:52 pm

moolingwa

the j6 comes after YOUR first j, but it's the third j

3:52 pm

hokie carla

finally thought about how to make the 5 spelled different and got it. it is after my 2nd j.

3:53 pm

hokie carla

but it is 3rd

3:53 pm

moolingwa

oh, so you completed the j's?

3:53 pm

hokie carla

3:56 pm

moolingwa

3:56 pm

BzznBea

3:56 pm

moolingwa

could actually be all of them

3:57 pm

hokie carla

I am missing 3

3:57 pm

hokie carla

2-5-4-4

3:57 pm

moolingwa

3:57 pm

BzznBea

hokie carla

4:04 pm

moolingwa

yep

4:05 pm

BzznBea

I don't think that is exclusive to soccer

4:08 pm

hokie carla
