10:06 am
hokie carla
we've had a lot of S's lately
10:07 am
hurshy
three cheers for Ss!
10:07 am

10:11 am
hurshy
i wonder if there is a fox out there or a stray cat or something
10:11 am
ChampFit
I meant the 2nd one. My fault.
10:12 am
hokie carla
probably a serial killer cat
10:12 am
ChampFit
....and...just found it!
10:12 am
hurshy
not a bad thing, i didn't have either of them!
10:12 am
hokie carla
oh, there's 2 AC7? bea never mentioned that.
10:12 am
hurshy
well now i have them both
10:12 am
hokie carla
ok, guess I need a clue
10:13 am
ChampFit
The second one builds off the ac 5/12
10:13 am
hokie carla
the 2nd ac5/12 then?
10:13 am
hurshy
phae GAVE the clue
10:14 am
hokie carla
that's the one I have
10:14 am
hokie carla
I GAVE the clue too. LOL
10:14 am
hurshy
no, the first one builds off the first ac5/12
10:14 am
hurshy
phae's clue was different from yours
10:14 am
hurshy
sometimes i feel like i'm the only one who reads the chat
10:15 am
hokie carla
but we were cluing the same word
10:15 am
hurshy
no, there are two ac7
10:15 am
hokie carla
I'll just look it up, thanks
10:15 am
hurshy
phae clued the first and you clued the second.
10:16 am
hokie carla
the one phae clued is the one I have, and you literally do what I said at 10:10, add 2 letters to the ac5.
10:16 am
hurshy
oh, ok. then do the same thing with the second ac5/12 yeah.
10:17 am
hokie carla
so based on phae's clue I absolutely have that one and clued that one.
10:17 am
hurshy
your clue works for both as it turns out
10:17 am
hurshy
so i thought you were cluing the second
10:17 am
hurshy
cause that is what i used it for
10:17 am
hurshy
that's pretty hilarious actually
10:18 am
dauber
Man...doing Babble really drives home how STUPID the English language is!
10:18 am
hurshy
and how it's possible to give a clue that works for the word you need and not even know it!
10:19 am
hurshy
sorry i was snappish hokie
10:19 am
hokie carla
maybe you're not the only one who reads the chat
10:20 am
hokie carla
I just thought I was taking crazy pills. was that gaslighting?😜
10:20 am
hurshy
inadvertent gaslighting perhaps
10:20 am
penquis
hello all....i just read the chat twice and i am confused, lol....only have found the one ac 7....there really are two?
10:21 am
hokie carla
pen!
10:21 am
hurshy
it's just when you clued, i didn't have the first ac5. so i used it on the second and got the second 7. so then i thought you had that one and had clued that one.
10:21 am
hokie carla
yes, there are 2
10:21 am
hurshy
each ac7 adds two letters to an ac5, pen
10:21 am
penquis
building off two ac 5 words...
10:22 am
hurshy
it's a very good illustration of what can happen when people don't have all the information, really

I saw some things poking out on the corner here, prob about 3" and prob daffodils or jonquils. I don't think I saw any croci here last year. (FTR, I have said croci for many years to be funny because my mom always corrects me to crocuses, but croci is on enable.)

Well, googling Venice districts did me no good. (There are six of them, apparently, and it appears that none of them are in the grid.)

One is. It's only the first word of a two-word district.

never ever ever heard of en8
5:50 pm
Gillie
Oh - not technically a "district" of Venice, but the name of an "area"
5:52 pm
Gillie
The en8 appears to be a very technical anatomical term, also known as the "telencephalon", which is confusingly part of the fo10 (ends the same way, starts with a word for "front").
5:54 pm
Gillie
