Those stats can't be right, there are more than 12 4-letter words.

9:25 am

testing

You're right. I have 56 of them so far. That's what I thought was weird. I'll go check them again. Must have had a typo in my input.

9:28 am

testing

OK, I realize now that I had spaces in my file when I put it into sprite's solver counter and that screwed up the word lengths. The letter counts are all OK.

Should be:

2x9
3x8
3x7
22x6
58x5
72x4

Just so nobody thinks Babble discriminates against one race or religion, there is a fine disparaging word about Jews in today's puzzle.

11:45 am

rickh74

12:28 pm

testing

You can find several with a google search.

For the life of me, I cannot figure out the two U words. Could another clue be given? And the second letter, please? Thanks.

1:33 pm

fit1

think of CIO and AFofL for the U words

1:37 pm

onyx

mulher,
not the american spelling

1:59 pm

boatierra

Thank you for the clues, but they are both totally over my head **hand flies over head**. I don't know what CIO or AFofL mean. Of course I tried UCIO just to see if that was it, and no luck. Maybe an easier, slightly less esoteric clue would be of help. Thanks :)

2:07 pm

Gail

A good clue would be the formation of a labor group for the benefit of employees.

3:33 pm

boatierra

Oh jeez-sus. I kept thinking that the first five letters where in there, I just couldn't get the right pattern. Thanks everyone for your patience and clues :)

5:59 pm

Mary

Does anyone have a clue for the i7/32 please?

8:20 pm

boatierra

Is is just me, or have the last two or three puzzles been really tough?

Sorry I don't have a clue for the i/7/32.

8:25 pm

Mary

You're not just kidding. I've been going at this on and off practically all day and only have 124 words. lol

8:34 pm

boatierra

124? I just barely got 51. Just figured out five more A words.

8:41 pm
