gremlinn
and plural
12:20 am
Gillie
My li7 is a plural, so I guess li7 x 2?
12:20 am
gremlinn
singular and plural both li7, maybe you have another
12:22 am
hokie carla
3 different E tiles keeping me from HOET
12:23 am
gremlinn
there's some A and E words that are four different spellings of the same thing
12:23 am
hokie carla
and NBT for that matter
12:23 am
hokie carla
I have all those
12:23 am
hokie carla
what is the stat for the bottom E?
12:24 am
hokie carla
of course it is, thanks. I can never see that.
12:30 am
gremlinn
ro8 x3, was missing those two
12:58 am
gremlinn
one of the 3 I'm missing, thanks
1:03 am
gremlinn
LM 67 left
1:06 am
gremlinn
oh, must be the ma7 called early
1:07 am
hokie carla
good job, 46 left here 🤣
1:07 am
gremlinn
there was a ma7, right Gillie?
1:08 am
gremlinn
I shall start a manhunt for it
1:16 am
gremlinn
fw, no list
1:17 am
gremlinn
I only took 35 times as long as Gillie to find that word :)
1:21 am
m9f9l
Wtg Gremlinn!
1:22 am
m9f9l
I'm just starting
1:22 am
gremlinn
ty, need any clues?
1:23 am
m9f9l
Is it a tough one??
1:24 am
gremlinn
a little bit
1:25 am
gremlinn
as you can see plenty of short words, but many weird ones
1:26 am
m9f9l
Yeah.. I've only looked at top row and already feeling inadequate!
1:28 am
gremlinn
Yeah, the L was a challenge
1:28 am
m9f9l
I'm none too happy about the E either
1:28 am
gremlinn
try to use the M and N with it a lot
1:29 am
m9f9l
Ok.. That did get me one! :)
1:33 am
m9f9l
Ah, the E not bugging me as much since I thought of rulers
1:47 am
m9f9l
Whoo hoo got the 9!!
1:54 am
m9f9l
Almost 1/2 way on all tiles...
1:55 am
m9f9l
Just the R and the O below it not there yet
1:57 am
gremlinn
14 of the 25 Rs are four letters, but there are a bunch of long ones (three 8s) too
1:58 am
m9f9l
one more and I'll be 1/2 way on the R. Just got the cad
1:58 am
gremlinn
a few uncommon or twisty ones on the O
1:58 am
m9f9l
got another
1:59 am
m9f9l
So that's HWOAT
2:00 am
m9f9l
There's no way I can do this without listing!! You are a beast!
2:02 am
m9f9l
Are the ro8s variations?
2:02 am
gremlinn
two are compounds (singular and plural pair) and one's an uncommon word
2:03 am
gremlinn
actually even the compounds are uncommon, but they're guessable
2:04 am
m9f9l
Ah..got them! I had the uncommon one
2:05 am
gremlinn
cool - the uncommon one is worth remembering (maybe) because of how it uses common letters
2:06 am
gremlinn
which makes it more common in Babble if less common in everyday writing
2:07 am
m9f9l
There are definitely words I know because of Babble!
2:07 am
gremlinn
like inia and et4, the very basics!
2:09 am
m9f9l
and the goose
2:10 am
m9f9l
A word in this grid reminded me of a joke my eldest daughter made up a few days ago...about the magician that could control sea birds with his mind.
2:11 am
m9f9l
He has pelekinesis.
2:12 am
gremlinn
pretty good!
2:12 am
m9f9l
I told her that her jokes have taken a te4 for the worse! :)
2:13 am
gremlinn
I sea what you did there!
2:14 am
m9f9l
oh buoy! We shouldn't go too far...
2:15 am
gremlinn
Is there a sail on puns tonight?
2:16 am
gremlinn
I'd do two in a row but that'd be shellfish.
2:16 am
m9f9l
We'll probably ruru starting this wave of them
2:18 am
m9f9l
Bingo! First column
2:22 am
m9f9l
does that high point get used other that words it starts?
2:23 am
gremlinn
the Z? no
2:26 am
m9f9l
Ugh. To still have 29 4s to go and to feel stuck.
2:29 am
m9f9l
I should probably focus on 4s. Don't know why I didn't already think of that! :)
2:46 am
m9f9l
32 left. 5s 6s and 7s
3:11 am
