onyx - Thanks for the movie title. I looked it up on the IMDb, not much info there, but I'll have to check it out. I can find all kinds phrases like "bathed/washed in the blood of the slaughtered bull" but I cannot find the word, tarabolism, itself. Being the wordphile that I am, I'm now on the hunt for this word.

11:48 am

boatierra

I don't suppose someone would be kind enought to post the 9's, 8's, and maybe the 7's in order? If just the 9's and 8's are done, I can understand. I'm trying to keep track, and I think I'm doubling words. Are there really two G/7/32? 'Cause I just have one.

11:49 am

Treble99

There are 5 G7/32

11:50 am

boatierra

speedfreak - Thanks for the clue. From my anthropology classes, I figured out the prefix.

6:04 pm

DarleenMB

So, does this thing NOT like 10 letter words? The t9 also comes in a variety of t10 but the babble won't take it.

Periwinkle, there is also an
M8/50 plural something that is extremely complicated and difficult to deal with (like this grid)
R8/40 those who no longer work (like me)
& T8/40 a small square tile used in making mosaics.
Hope this helps.

7:47 pm
