We never used to call 6's in grids this big. When did this start?
12:09 am
gremlinn
Right now. Have a problem?
12:10 am
Rainiqui
Seems a little "de trop"....
12:10 am
gremlinn
Seems you should mind your own business.
12:11 am
Rainiqui
Seems you might show some restraint.
12:11 am
gremlinn
ooh, lunchables
12:11 am
jbp
can we take it down a notch, please?
12:11 am
gremlinn
I only called them because they're interesting words.
12:28 am
jbp
may i please have a clue for the sh90 so I can go to sleep?
12:28 am
gremlinn
I don't know if it's allowed yet.
12:29 am
dizgrannie

12:32 am
mkg
Only need that 9 to go to sleep also.
12:33 am
jbp
still monkeying, but my monkeys are tired
12:33 am
dizgrannie
if you have the sh 8, another vowel in 5th place
12:33 am
justafreep
you may have tried it as an 8, jbp. as a 9 it's like a compound
12:33 am
jbp
i keep trying to make 'scorch' but it keeps not working
12:34 am
jbp
hmmmmm, freep....
12:34 am
mkg
I have an sh 8 but it is two words and so the vowel doesnt work. Hmmmm
12:34 am
justafreep
(there's an 8 of this, too)
12:34 am
jbp
yes, me too, it's the quicker way
12:35 am
justafreep
you probably have the sh5 that starts it
12:35 am
mkg
Opp of long is what i have for sh word
12:35 am
justafreep
this is unrelated.
12:36 am
jbp
a different sh5 then?
12:36 am
jbp
like circle or square?
12:36 am
justafreep
sh5/14
12:36 am
mkg
Ok. Other i have is what a circle, square, triangle are.
12:36 am
mkg
I got it. Ty ty ty
12:37 am
jbp
well i found a nice sh8 that is making those things
12:37 am
mkg
Of to sleep. Ty all
12:37 am
justafreep
I was oblique. I don't know why. Been away too long and have lost skills! Glad you got it
12:37 am
jbp
still flailing
12:38 am
justafreep
there's an adjective ending (that's also a 4 letter word)
12:41 am
jbp
i would swear i tried that one earlier. sigh.. thanks, Freep!
12:41 am
justafreep
you're welcome!
12:42 am
jbp
nbt, nbs,88 left... I sleep now. Thanks for all the great clues!

justafreep
which is an odd word, I find.
1:02 am
ursh
thank you - i see there is a 4th 8 ?
1:03 am
gremlinn
haven't found it yet
1:03 am
ursh
the ea 8 is certainly odd - surely usually spelt with ed
1:03 am

I'm missing the 4th 8 as well.

gremlinn
Yeah, and the Cs too.
9:56 am
hokie carla
yeah, need 5 c's and 8 b's
9:57 am
phaeton
I think someone made up the ha7...can't find a def for it...or left out a letter
9:57 am
hokie carla
which H is it from?
9:58 am
hokie carla
just spent 5 min looking for my last lower E and it was a regular, everyday 4.
10:00 am
gremlinn
Sometimes that letter gets left out of words like that, sometimes not. And sometimes both spellings work.
10:01 am
hokie carla
can I have a clue, P&TY?
10:03 am
gremlinn
can be despised
10:03 am
hokie carla
ah, wouldn't have thought of that, thx
10:03 am
hokie carla
maybe it means a hat can go with your outfit

I have 8 so far (including a plural)
11:08 am
hurshy
yeah i got an se7 with that ending
11:09 am
moolingwa
and I should mention, not including all the ones that are just 2 syllables
11:09 am
BzznBea
yes. i was refering to not having that final e before the the suffix
11:10 am
moolingwa
good good :)
11:10 am
moolingwa
this B is proving a little stubborn

1:55 pm
BzznBea

1:55 pm
periwinkle
sheeesh. I already had them. I am tired
1:55 pm
BzznBea
the 8 is the plural
1:55 pm
periwinkle
I am missing an 8
1:56 pm
periwinkle
are there 3 sh8? I have 2
1:56 pm
BzznBea
one is se8.60
1:56 pm
periwinkle
I have that one and the sh8/55
1:57 pm
BzznBea

gremlinn
I like them on fewer tiles.
2:18 pm
BzznBea
i try to grey a tile before i move on.
2:19 pm
gremlinn
I've sometimes tried that, but I feel like if I see a word, I should bag it before I forget it (or forget I haven't entered it yet).
2:19 pm
gremlinn
But it's a good challenge.
2:25 pm
hokie carla
rehowdy. sitting on the porch listening to thunder.
2:29 pm
hokie carla
so far seeing no new words. guess I was actually done for the day this morning? will give each tile another try.
2:30 pm
BzznBea
i hope that thunder is coming my way.
2:30 pm
hokie carla
I think it usually does
2:31 pm
BzznBea
i missed a lot of plurals
2:32 pm
hokie carla
no rain yet though. we were going to go to the pool around 2:15 and I went to get the mail and heard the first thunder. so has now been thundering for over an hour. wind is picking up and it has cooled off at least.
2:32 pm
hokie carla
I missed a scottish h4.
2:33 pm
hokie carla
I did find your wine though before I left this morning
2:33 pm
BzznBea
i just found the laundry additive. duh
2:34 pm

2:35 pm
mael

2:35 pm
hokie carla
hey mael
2:35 pm
mael

2:35 pm
hokie carla
duh, I didn't have that either, bea
2:35 pm
BzznBea
that will be fun, mael
2:36 pm
hokie carla
I've found none of the big ones
2:36 pm
mael
it won't be too hot by then, luckily
2:36 pm
mael
just getting the starting letters was helpful! I can share if you want
2:36 pm
hokie carla
lol, I didn't see mael's post about the red sox and thought bea was saying finding the big words will be fun.
2:37 pm
hokie carla
let me guess, there are some B's and some C's
2:38 pm
mael
and the 9 is not a plural
2:38 pm
MollyL
Who are they playing mael?
2:38 pm
mael
the As, we're gonna get smoked
2:39 pm
hokie carla
would love the letters then
2:40 pm
mael
sh8x2, se8, ea8 and sh9
2:40 pm
BzznBea
most of those use the suffix du jour
2:41 pm
hokie carla
thanks, both. found 2, looking for the rest.
2:42 pm
mael
I'm heading out! happy finishing :)
2:42 pm
hokie carla
I'm calling bs on the ea words
2:42 pm
hokie carla
bye mael, have fun
2:44 pm
hokie carla
and now the rain is finally here
2:45 pm
hokie carla
have them all but the se8. is it real or stupid?
2:46 pm
BzznBea
ocean + sand
2:46 pm
BzznBea
yes, stupid
2:48 pm
MollyL
So many words to call BS on
2:49 pm
BzznBea
i agree. molly.
2:50 pm
hokie carla
can't think of another word for sand, but I will keep looking
2:51 pm
hokie carla
that is a very weird, unnecessary word
2:51 pm
hokie carla
oh well, GATBO
2:54 pm
BzznBea
looking for a b4 and 5
2:54 pm
hokie carla
do you have the thai money?
2:55 pm
hokie carla
I still need 6 b's, so no help
2:55 pm
BzznBea
i found the 5
2:56 pm
BzznBea
i hate looking for 4s.
2:58 pm
BzznBea
found it. it's the boyfriend
2:58 pm
BzznBea
one half of the dukes of hazzard.
3:00 pm
MollyL
Just two good ole boys
3:18 pm
hokie carla
bo and luke
3:21 pm
BzznBea
spell the bo differently
3:21 pm
BzznBea
there is a 9 letter word in squardle
3:23 pm
hokie carla
ah, hence the boyfriend
3:23 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I finished squaredle this morning. actually got the big ones pretty easily but struggled with some of the small ones
3:24 pm
BzznBea
i need to feed animals before they chew my leg off...
3:29 pm
hokie carla
that would be bad
3:29 pm
hokie carla
"she's a be5, clark"
3:35 pm
gremlinn
first time I've tried this squaredle - it seems like maybe the letters are set up in advance to have interesting longer words? Otherwise this word I found is extremely unlikely to be in a grid, especially 4x4.
3:38 pm
hokie carla
yes, there are some days where I notice a theme and have thought it's certainly not an accident
3:42 pm
Gillie
Also, all the letters are used, obviously, which is not always the case in Babble
3:42 pm
Gillie
If you get the bonus word of the day, that often gives you an indication of the theme, if there is one
3:43 pm
gremlinn
I think maybe I did but dismissed a popup too quickly to be sure.
3:44 pm
gremlinn
Oh, I see it, yeah, I did have it.
3:44 pm
gremlinn
Too much clutter, too bad the whole interface isn't easily vislble at once.
3:44 pm
gremlinn
And the bonus word led me to the 9
3:48 pm
hokie carla
I got an app on my macbook for it. gets rid of most of the clutter
3:51 pm
Gillie
Squardle is often very easy to complete, but some people(?) are able to get a ridiculous number of bonus words. It seems to use a bigger dictionary for bonus words than Babble.
3:52 pm
hokie carla
it's basically regular words plus enable weird ones are bonuses plus a few more not on enable are bonus.
3:53 pm
pcal2
Hi all, I'm sure I'm just being blind, but I cannot find my last word: ta 7/40. Any clues??
3:55 pm
pcal2
nm, found it!
3:55 pm
gremlinn
Indeed, a lot of them I've not seen before (good thing I tend to just type random stuff a lot of the time when looking)
3:56 pm
gremlinn
A few "bonus" words work in Babble, so maybe they didn't use Enable as the basis?
3:57 pm
gremlinn
Maybe some rival word list about the same size
3:57 pm
MollyL
ta7...for those who didn't find it... a picturesque grouping of persons or objects; a striking scene
3:58 pm
Gillie
The non-bonus words are supposed to be "ordinary" words, so it's easier to play for people who hate weird words
4:05 pm
gremlinn
ta7: a flat surface down under?
4:06 pm
hurshy
*head scratch*
4:07 pm
hurshy
i don't think they say that in australia
4:07 pm
hurshy
i mean it's originally french
4:07 pm
hurshy
so idk why they would
4:07 pm
gremlinn
it was a bad cryptic clue
4:07 pm
gremlinn
or maybe a bad joke
4:08 pm
hurshy
like... down under the water?
4:08 pm
gremlinn
just the last two letters, as a country code
4:08 pm
hurshy
ohhhhhhh i see
4:08 pm
maggiej
Thanks for the word list gremlinn.
4:10 pm
hurshy
oh is there no lickety today?
4:10 pm
gremlinn
maybe too much a stretch for a phantom, and not in the Babble dictionary, but "catoblepas"
4:11 pm
gremlinn
buffalo-like mythological creature
4:15 pm
hurshy
help with the lower N? i have the pair that are nu4 and void
4:18 pm
MollyL
Latin for the neck word

7:11 pm
hokie carla
should I look for my 5 4's first though
7:12 pm
hokie carla
well, if ea7/8 is a word, I don't see why lu9 wouldn't be. does she take those to school, dan? those are the round PB&Js, right?
7:12 pm
hokie carla
my kids ate them some, but I think they got sick of them
7:17 pm
cherlyq

cherlyq
yeah they are expensive now so bought the stuff to make my own for grandson
7:18 pm

7:19 pm
cherlyq
oh yeah I remember that

hokie carla
*thing
7:19 pm
