phantom: litanies

11:27 am

hurshy

11:31 am

MollyL

PNW = Pacific northwest...Seattle

11:31 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!!!

11:40 am

hurshy

good grid, 12 to go

11:45 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! tallest mountain on Turtle Island

11:50 am

hurshy

done!

12:12 pm

MollyL

That gets my vote for most obscure name that proper noun

1:06 pm

Biltong

stil

1:06 pm

Biltong

oops, sorry

1:07 pm

Biltong

Please may I have a clue for gu7?

1:32 pm

Shellbell_o-well

Which? If you have your gu6's...make 2 plural

1:46 pm

MollyL

Plural of the rodent "pig" and plural of sounds like take a sh----- bus to town

2:50 pm

Gillie

I tried googling the tallest mountain on Turtle Island, and the only thing I could find was â€œ401 Highlandâ€. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong Turtle Mountain?

3:02 pm

rbud

try just "turtle island", there's some indigenous folklore involved.

3:02 pm

rbud

and I'm done! yay!

3:16 pm

MollyL

Too much work for a name that proper noun

3:20 pm

Shirlockc

at6 after the map?

3:26 pm

periwinkle

the first 3 letters of the map and then repeated

3:30 pm

Shellbell_o-well

@ + rhymes w/the noisy baby toy

3:33 pm

Shellbell_o-well

but. peri's clue is better

3:33 pm

MollyL

Much better

3:33 pm

periwinkle

:)

3:35 pm

Shirlockc

huh, odd word but thx for the at clue!

3:35 pm

periwinkle

yw it has been in grids before tho

3:36 pm

Shirlockc

and i probably didn't get it before either lol

4:12 pm

cybernan

good afternoon everyone :)

4:21 pm

cybernan

still don't understand why things like a word for an ancient indigenous spear thrower would be in an english dictionary

4:30 pm

Shellbell_o-well

It's also what the spear is called... and people still use them

4:31 pm

cybernan

pretty obscure though

4:32 pm

cybernan

and if it is a native name for something how can it be construed as english

4:35 pm

Shellbell_o-well

yeah, idk. I saw it (and then had to look it up) in a tv show and a movie

4:37 pm

MollyL

Nan, the qualifications for words on the list that drives this thins are rubbish.

4:37 pm

MollyL

*thing

4:37 pm

cybernan

oh - just found the antelope - my last e word

4:41 pm

Shellbell_o-well

one left...

4:44 pm

cybernan

think I've had enough - going to the list

4:47 pm

cybernan

el 5, maybe? - most of a girl's name

4:48 pm

Shellbell_o-well

i hate it when my lickety-list says I've finished... but evidently i am not

4:48 pm

cybernan

don't think I've had that happen - are you using expert?

4:50 pm

cybernan

try sending words to babble button

4:52 pm

Shellbell_o-well

am somewhat of a rookie, sooo... yeah, i will try that

4:54 pm

Shellbell_o-well

there we go... fw

4:54 pm

cybernan

a rookie using lickety's list? I see that you've been playing since 2007

5:00 pm

Shellbell_o-well

I tried it back then for a little while... was just to much for my little brain, so gave up. then fiddled w it every now and then when on vacay. this last year obsession took over

5:10 pm

Shellbell_o-well

I get as far as I can list-less. for me finish this early is extremely rare. (use my phone, too, so is a little clunky)

5:12 pm

MollyL

Playing this game on a phone is crazy

5:15 pm

nrkii

Hi all...

5:16 pm

nrkii

5:19 pm

nrkii

now just an S5 and an L5 to go

5:21 pm

Shellbell_o-well

woot! later gators...

5:26 pm

hurshy

turtle island = north america

5:26 pm

hurshy

for future reference

5:44 pm

MollyL

Again, obscure

5:47 pm

MollyL

If the clue was tallest mountain in North America, people would have known it was Denali

5:51 pm

nrkii

Was hoping my dinner break would make those last two words magically present themselves when I got back. No such luck.

5:56 pm

hurshy

i thought at least some people would be aware of Turtle Island as a term for the continent. and, since you didn't, well, that just means this is a good chance for people to find that out! :)

5:56 pm

hurshy

want any help nrkii?

5:57 pm

nrkii

need S5 and L5 (columns 2 and 3)

5:57 pm

hurshy

ok let's see... i guess probably your L is a plural

5:58 pm

hurshy

and sa5/18

5:58 pm

nrkii

I have sa 5/18

5:59 pm

hurshy

hmmm well that's the weirdest one from there

5:59 pm

nrkii

I don't think my L is a plural...

5:59 pm

hurshy

how about st12, the sort of trait that someone has where they are unruffled by things that happen?

5:59 pm

nrkii

have that

6:00 pm

hurshy

if your L isn't a plural it would have to be either your rental contract or not most

6:00 pm

hurshy

unless you somehow got la7 but didn't put in la5

6:01 pm

hurshy

how about st5/12, past tense of a pig's home?

6:01 pm

nrkii

hmmmm, okay, so it's a plural, but one I somehow can't seem to see

6:01 pm

hurshy

i think it is an li5/10

6:02 pm

hurshy

that's a plural without a singular

6:02 pm

nrkii

yes, but there was no li4 to match!

6:02 pm

hurshy

yeah

6:02 pm

hurshy

sorry i failed to note that

6:03 pm

hurshy

did you see my last S suggestion, 6:01

6:03 pm

nrkii

sa5 x 6
se5 x 2
si 5 x 2
sl5 x 3
st5 x7

6:03 pm

nrkii

ooh, that was it!!

6:03 pm

nrkii

fw, and thank you!

6:03 pm

hurshy

your counting skills are off lol

6:04 pm

hurshy

there are st5 x 9

6:04 pm

hurshy

6:04 pm

nrkii
