hello, cybernan...seems to be just us tonight!

12:05 am

cybernan

probably St. Pat's parties -- ours was last night

12:06 am

jeanne314

12:07 am

12:10 am

cybernan

don't think anyone was thinking about that -- one of our better functions

12:10 am

Rainiqui

nbt, nbs

12:11 am

Gillie

I wouldn't have thought of it,except that yesterday's Squardle of "Ides of March" themed, including the word "beware"

12:15 am

Gillie

un7

12:16 am

cybernan

can't find that i for nbt

12:17 am

cybernan

oh - nm - there it is

12:17 am

Gillie

I wasn't really expecting po6 to be a word, but there it is

12:17 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:17 am

cybernan

yes - I'm at the point where I try everything close to a real word

12:18 am

Gillie

I can't seem to find the fourth-column P

12:19 am

cybernan

needlecase alert

12:20 am

Rainiqui

po 4/9

12:21 am

Gillie

Oh, of course - not the way I think it should be spelled

12:21 am

Gillie

ty rain

12:21 am

Rainiqui

I agree with you on that spelling

12:22 am

Gillie

or not the way I *expect* it to be spelled, anyway

12:24 am

cybernan

th 7-8

12:28 am

rbud

rejig not a word? sure sounds like an old factory term to me. I've heard it more than once from machinists.

12:28 am

rbud

same "expert", different day. :D

12:28 am

jeanne314

I tried that as well, felt familiar.

12:29 am

Gillie

I'm with you

12:29 am

rbud

oops, "enable"

12:30 am

rbud

maybe it would work if it was Scottish, ha!

12:31 am

Gillie

I guess the group that decides which words are "normal" in Squardle gets into some real wrangles sometimes, based on location

12:32 am

Gillie

but here, normal doesn't matter!

12:33 am

cybernan

top row dark and I'm off -- a demain

12:33 am

rbud

that's for sure!

12:34 am

rbud

oh, fare thee well, nan

12:34 am

Gillie

g'night

12:38 am

rbud

still here, trying to find some 8's and get over 100 at least, before I go all lickety and/or give up for the night.

12:39 am

Gillie

There are some fish-slap 8's

12:40 am

Gillie

But I'm just up to 102, and nan's th7 & 8 is eluding me

12:42 am

Gillie

The pa8 is probably the most obvious (plural of pa7)

12:44 am

Gillie

a lot of words that end the same way

12:46 am

rbud

I got an ha7/8 I saw called earlier, and now that you mention it I see the pa's as well, thanks

12:46 am

TY Ursh

12:51 am

rbud

got the th 7/8 - sort of a twisty one, so that you can use both i's down there

12:52 am

rbud

if I said what it is I'd be giving up the last half of the word. but it's a B, and C, D, A, etc are other examples

12:53 am

Gillie

ty rbud

12:53 am

rbud

and thanks for the mi 8, ursh

12:58 am

Happy Saimt Patricks Day everybody. My 2 grandsons are home, bedecked in green & canâ€™t wait to attend the Trim parade. (Thatâ€™s the parade in the town of Trim, not a skinny parade). At best, the Trim parade is amateurish - frequently descending into chaos. Absolutely hilarious. LÃ¡ FhÃ©ile Padraig shona diobh go lÃ©ir. â˜˜ï¸

9:15 am

rururocks

someone in bed here wanted to get up early

9:17 am

origami

ðŸ˜€

9:19 am

hokie carla

not sure about this G

9:19 am

hurshy

a particular word or the whole tile?

9:19 am

hokie carla

whole tile - only found 9

9:20 am

hokie carla

oh, there's a set

9:22 am

hurshy

i'm finding it ok

9:22 am

hurshy

some that just needed to be monkeyed

9:25 am

rururocks

< monkeyless

9:31 am

hokie carla

oh, name that cartoon character in the grid!

9:32 am

penquis

stimpy

9:32 am

penquis

hello all...

9:32 am

hokie carla

âœ…âœ…âœ… pen!

9:32 am

penquis

carla!

9:33 am

hurshy

phantom: opium

9:34 am

hokie carla

phantom interest

9:35 am

rururocks

not really a phantom hokie you can't use letters twice

9:36 am

hokie carla

I don't understand what you mean. it's a phantom if I see it but it's not really there. if there was an E down low it would be there.

9:36 am

hurshy

she's phantoming that there's more than one e

9:36 am

hurshy

no gatekeeping other people's phantoms! lol

9:37 am

hokie carla

lol, I can't choose the phantoms I see!

9:37 am

rururocks

well.. let's be realistic here you guys

9:37 am

hokie carla

I am, that's literally how the phantoms work

9:37 am

hurshy

phantoms is PHANTOMS, they ain't real

9:38 am

hokie carla

if you could use letters twice it wouldn't be a phantom, it would be a real word

9:39 am

MollyL

Ru, they believe in imaginary monkeys. Imaginary letters are not a stretch.

9:39 am

hurshy

i still don't get why impy isn't a word

9:39 am

hurshy

kids can be impy all the time

9:40 am

hokie carla

WHAT IS THE POINT OF PHANTOM WORDS IF IT'S NOT WORDS THAT AREN'T REAL

9:40 am

hokie carla

feels like I'm taking crazy pills here

9:40 am

rururocks

well opium is a phantom if only the op was over one space. with interest there's only one goddamn E in the grid

9:41 am

hurshy

it doesn't matter

9:41 am

rururocks

ok.. I'll shut up now

9:41 am

hurshy

it's whatever a person feels is close enough to being there that it makes them think of it

9:41 am

hurshy

it's subjective

9:41 am

hurshy

like art

9:41 am

penquis

yes, like me seeing minimum.....

9:42 am

penquis

i think those of us who play the Bee see more phantoms because you can reuse letters there...just a thought...

9:43 am

rururocks

yeah I guess.

9:45 am

hokie carla

I guess I just don't understand what a phantom is then

9:45 am

penquis

yes, you do....it's a subjective thing...

9:46 am

hurshy

phantom: autumn

9:48 am

hurshy

ahh, i love it when a long one is a totally normal word

9:51 am

rururocks

time to head out.. have fun with the grid everyone, I hope you can keep up your interest hokie :D

9:51 am

MollyL

*Tactfully refrained from comment on the crazy pills ðŸ˜Š

9:52 am

penquis

9:57 am

hurshy

9:57 am

hurshy

idk, i hadn't thought enough to even guess

9:57 am

hokie carla

9:58 am

hurshy

true

9:58 am

hurshy

but i can see where that's newer, might not have made it into enable

9:58 am

hokie carla

and yes I know unmute would be the other u

9:58 am

hurshy

unhit is as old as ... people throwing stuff

9:59 am

doseffing

k

10:41 am

doseffing

,,, of course you could have been super cool and used some kind of voice recognition typing app ... but how something like that would recognize all the different accents used by Babble players might be difficult for AI
