1:59 am

grannyrose

1:59 am

sprite

yes, I took it easy and I do feel a little better this morning. Slept well too.

2:01 am

grannyrose

i am so happy to hear that. i slept well too, nearly 8 hours straight. but i cheated. took some valium to calm the nerves and muscles. ma4 all the difference.

2:02 am

sprite

that is not cheating, that is self care. Well done, darling.

2:03 am

sprite

this is a lovely grid. Big, but it flows like crazy.

2:05 am

grannyrose

thank-you. doesn't a full night's rest make a difference?

2:06 am

grannyrose

i loved it. the words just jumped off the screen.

2:06 am

sprite

omg yes. *grins* When I was young and stupid, I didn't think so. But now I know.

2:08 am

grannyrose

when we were young and stupid, a full night's sleep wasn't important. * giggle * we had the stamina of a bull.

2:09 am

sprite

so true. Lol, you know the little joke: "Dear Sleep, I am so so sorry that I pushed you away and did not want you when I was young. I know better now. Please come back."

8:36 am

rururocks

lol.. love that joke molly

8:36 am

MollyL

8:36 am

8:37 am

rastapopolous

kleenex

8:37 am

MollyL

Google says it is a brand name

8:37 am

8:37 am

rastapopolous

formica

8:38 am

MollyL

I have heard that joke from a Cajun and she uses "how it know" which works, especially with the Cajun accent. She tells great T-Paul jokes too

rastapopolous

Do all fish take no plurals? now that I think of it, trout, salmon,

8:46 am

rururocks

8:46 am

MollyL

Probably because they are so hideous to look at Carla

moolingwa

3-10-7-2

2:25 pm

Shirlockc

i've been pecking at this all day and i still have 197 left

2:45 pm

MollyL

It is a horrible grid. I don't know how anyone enjoys them this big.

2:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I like them when they are big because they are more interesting - I don't intend to finish, I just like to find where the density is, if you get what I mean. I find small grids annoying.

2:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have 201 left. It means there is a cluster I haven't found yet- at least one

2:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now I have 197 left also.

2:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

now I have 188 left. I will stop when I have to start to work and call it a day.

2:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Remember the 700+ word grid?

2:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

it's the process more than the outcome

3:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

dado

3:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

oops- freebie.

3:21 pm

Kaplan the Magne

now I have 160 left.

3:22 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sorry I kill the chat every time. Probably because I answer myself.

3:23 pm

BzznBea

There are lots of players that talk to themselves in the chat.

3:24 pm

BzznBea

The chat hasn't been very active of late.

3:28 pm

dcseain

much less so than in a while, agreed.

3:29 pm

dcseain

nice to see you Bea and Kaplan

3:29 pm

BzznBea

Good to see you dc

3:29 pm

dcseain

:)

3:29 pm

dcseain

I have 307 to go

3:30 pm

moolingwa

still 22 here :)

3:31 pm

dcseain

nice, moo!

3:31 pm

moolingwa

tx seain, hope you're doing well

3:31 pm

dcseain

better than in years. I'm back on Paxil for two months now.

3:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

22 left? Wow! Are they biggies or fishes?

3:32 pm

moolingwa

not sure I understand the question

3:32 pm

moolingwa

if you mean lengths...

3-10-7-2

3:33 pm

BzznBea

Drugs can be a wonderful thing, dc. Gladd yoou are getting relief.

3:34 pm

moolingwa

yes, glad you're doing well seain

3:34 pm

dcseain

thanks, y'all :)

3:34 pm

dcseain

it's nice to smile and laugh again.

3:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have 157 left . It kills time. I mean 8 letters or 4 letters. It's weird that there aren't 10 or 12 letters wordsin the grid

3:34 pm

moolingwa

I think probably a lot to do with that second row

3:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm distracted because my most vulnerable daughter has got into a bit of trouble with an out-of-state DUI.

3:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A true call for help.

3:35 pm

moolingwa

oof

3:35 pm

BzznBea

I'm sorry, Kaplan.

3:35 pm

dcseain

oh dear. May all go well for her.

3:36 pm

moolingwa

ooh, found 2 words

3:36 pm

BzznBea

I'm glad she called you.

3:37 pm

dcseain

yes, my mom's DUI is what got her the help she needed with alcohol. May it be so for your daughter.

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It kills because of my two daughters she is the one who internalizes failure, and my older daughter is very judgmental.

3:38 pm

hurshy

hi all, sorry to hear about your daughter

3:38 pm

dcseain

though a short term failure, it's an opportunity for her to grow and achieve even more.

3:38 pm

moolingwa

hey hursh, hope you noggin is on the mend

3:38 pm

hurshy

yeah it got better quickly after i took my triptans

3:38 pm

moolingwa

cool cool

3:38 pm

dcseain

I'm glad to hear that, hurshy.

3:39 pm

moolingwa

well hopefully you can be a calm port in the storm kaplan

3:39 pm

hurshy

now i get to re-try all the S words i already put in this morning

3:39 pm

BzznBea

that sucks

3:39 pm

moolingwa

I have to usually anyway

3:40 pm

hurshy

they didn't disappear or anything it's just looking for the last few you end up doing that

3:40 pm

moolingwa

yes, I miss words all the time, but I'm not fond of combing through the list

3:40 pm

hurshy

ooh i found 2 i had NOT got

3:41 pm

hurshy

now i am only missing 8 S total

3:41 pm

moolingwa

a celebration is in order, I'll get the cheese

3:41 pm

hurshy

oooh there's another one!

3:41 pm

moolingwa

I'm down to three S...one of the top left, and two on the bottom

3:41 pm

hurshy

3-2-2 here

3:42 pm

hurshy

what's the SP and SW count? that would help

3:42 pm

BzznBea

This is National Farmers Market week in USA. Everyone try to vitis a local market this weekend.

3:42 pm

moolingwa

I have 16 SP

3:42 pm

moolingwa

and 2 SW

3:43 pm

hurshy

ok thanks then i guess i need SP

3:43 pm

moolingwa

so that would seem to add up

3:43 pm

hurshy

look at me just assuming no SK, lucky it is true

3:44 pm

hurshy

oh it was the bathing suit words!

3:44 pm

moolingwa

yeah, you can almost spell the capital of Macedonia, but otherwise, it's a wasteland

3:44 pm

hurshy

yeah which is funny cause that was today's country in worLdle

3:44 pm

dcseain

agreed re Macedonia

3:44 pm

dcseain

that it was

3:44 pm

moolingwa

oh, my daughter plays that

3:45 pm

hurshy

just 3 si you think? i know you're still missing one up top but... for what you have?

3:45 pm

moolingwa

only have 3 so fare

3:45 pm

moolingwa

far

3:45 pm

moolingwa

sheldom - a rare shell

3:46 pm

hurshy

and 6 ST?

3:46 pm

moolingwa

I have 6 ST so far

3:46 pm

hurshy

OH OH i found 2 more SH

3:47 pm

hurshy

so there are in fact 6 ST and 3 si

3:47 pm

moolingwa

shurrah!

3:47 pm

hurshy

now i just need 2 from the bottom

3:47 pm

hurshy

did you get sh5 hebrew afterlife world?

3:48 pm

moolingwa

yeah, just found my missing one tho

3:48 pm

hurshy

did you put the person-who ending on the olde english sh4?

3:48 pm

moolingwa

apparently an alternate spelling of which no one uses

3:48 pm

hurshy

oh ok good

3:48 pm

dizgrannie

FWs

3:48 pm

moolingwa

wtg grannie!

3:48 pm

hurshy

ok i have 16 SA and 17 SO

3:49 pm

moolingwa

15 SA

3:49 pm

hurshy

which do i need more of (if grannie wants to say) or do you have different mool, if not

3:49 pm

moolingwa

and 18 SO

3:49 pm

hurshy

so i need an SO and you an SA and after that we don't know

3:49 pm

moolingwa

So I'm missing an SA, and you're missing an SO...and then the other one we're possibly both missing

3:50 pm

hurshy

jinx

3:50 pm

moolingwa

heh

3:51 pm

moolingwa

mind were both sa

3:51 pm

moolingwa

mine

3:51 pm

hurshy

then i need one of each

3:51 pm

moolingwa

so you're missing an SA too

3:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I think it will get her the help she needs with moods and self esteem and trying too hard to please people. The alcohol part of the restaurant gig- she is a freelancer. She needs a lot of structure now.

3:52 pm

hurshy

freelance what?

3:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

she thinks her life is over at 29.

3:52 pm

hurshy

mine's been over for awhile but somehow it just keeps going...

3:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Same here.

3:53 pm

hurshy

got any guesses for me mool?

3:53 pm

BzznBea

She has no idea what is out there.

3:53 pm

moolingwa

let me look, perhaps the sa5/6 combo that isn't a plural

3:54 pm

moolingwa

I assume they're related

3:54 pm

hurshy

it can't be a combo if i need one sa and one so

3:54 pm

moolingwa

the second doesn't have a def

3:54 pm

hurshy

i mean i could have missed half a combo...

3:54 pm

moolingwa

yeah, sorry you're right

3:54 pm

moolingwa

so I'd check an sa5 and see if it'll take another letter...unless you already have it

3:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Except some people's lives do become "over" because of one wrong turn. I would suggest becoming a cat lady if you have a choice. Too much agony otherwise. Besides, it's the childless cat ladies who are going to get Kamala over the edge

3:55 pm

moolingwa

or it could be the sa7

3:55 pm

moolingwa

not related to the 6

3:55 pm

hurshy

i have a 7

3:55 pm

hurshy

i have two sa7

3:55 pm

moolingwa

sa7 then

3:55 pm

hurshy

one is briny

3:55 pm

moolingwa

oh, if you have two, then not that

3:55 pm

hurshy

i am a cat lady!!!!

3:55 pm

BzznBea

Me too!

3:56 pm

dcseain

I have two cats.

3:56 pm

moolingwa

I'm a cat man

3:56 pm

hurshy

but ok i prob need to add a letter to a 5 like you said

3:56 pm

BzznBea

I have children but they have cats too.

3:56 pm

moolingwa

yeah, maybe that last sa?

3:56 pm

hurshy

got it! ok that leaves the SO then

3:56 pm

moolingwa

do you have all your 8s?

3:57 pm

hurshy

for the whole grid? no, i've only done a couple of letters so far

3:57 pm

moolingwa

otherwise perhaps so5/10?

3:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have 3 cats but I have two adult children, so I am not the audience The Vance is talking to. In Yiddish, a "vantz" is a bedbug.

3:57 pm

hurshy

i have one SO8

3:57 pm

hurshy

i thought of a great insult for Vance

3:57 pm

hurshy

"you put the sicko in sycophant"

3:57 pm

moolingwa

So you'd get three votes then Kaplan under his plan

3:57 pm

dcseain

:)

3:57 pm

moolingwa

your children just one each, assuming they don't have children of their own yet

3:58 pm

moolingwa

I would get zero votes tho

3:58 pm

moolingwa

though I do have a child

3:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Funny that bedbug would be a Yiddish word that I know. A daughter of the Lower East Side. No I wouldn't get 3 votes because I have children, and one of those has a child and a half.

3:58 pm

hurshy

then why don't you get votes

3:58 pm

moolingwa

not a merken

3:59 pm

hurshy

what is a merken

3:59 pm

moolingwa

but JD thinks people with children should get more votes

3:59 pm

moolingwa

american

3:59 pm

dcseain

yeah, he's a POS politically.

3:59 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Childless Democrats are the Vantz's scapegoat. Imagine, a party led by people who don't have children of their own.

3:59 pm

hurshy

ohhhhh

4:00 pm

Shirlockc

childless cat lady here so i'm a lower class citizen according to Vance

4:00 pm

hurshy

ok so is there just one SO8 or is there another one?

4:00 pm

moolingwa

I would frame it more like...I have significant world view differences to him...and he appears to be an opportunist rather than a larder

4:00 pm

moolingwa

just one

4:00 pm

dcseain

I'm too childless and with cats

4:00 pm

moolingwa

sorry shirl, but in my world you count

4:00 pm

moolingwa

and you too seain

4:01 pm

hurshy

it's so dumb too because i care very much about future people even though i do not have kids of my own.

4:01 pm

BzznBea

We all count!

4:01 pm

moolingwa

leader, not a larder...that would be weird if he was used to store food

4:01 pm

Shirlockc

explain the rather than a larder, moo?

4:01 pm

moolingwa

yeah sorry, I'm using three screens on my laptop, and sometimes my finger placement gets off when I'm touch-typing on my left screen for some reason

4:02 pm

Shirlockc

bwhahahahahah larder/ leader

4:02 pm

dcseain

ah, yeah, not a great leader.

4:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's funny that you would have to explain that to the Vantz. There's a great meme with his face and Sarah Palin's hair and glasses and the quote is "I can see Appalachia from my house."

4:02 pm

hurshy

ONE SO8 OR TWO??? i am on tenterhooks waiting to know!!!!

4:02 pm

moolingwa

one

4:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Herr Trump couldn't have picked a better idiot.

4:02 pm

hurshy

ok and i have an so5/10 also

4:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have any so8s so I will go there

4:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, now I do.

4:03 pm

moolingwa

so 6/21? there are two of them

4:03 pm

moolingwa

otherwise I'd start looking for 4s

4:03 pm

hurshy

ok, 4s it is

4:04 pm

Shirlockc

stats for the lone E?

4:04 pm

hurshy

en5/10

4:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have an so8.

4:04 pm

Shirlockc

thx hurshy, that's finally NBT for me

4:05 pm

BzznBea

2 so8

4:05 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that e took me longer than it should of to find

4:05 pm

hurshy

MOOOOOOL lied to me???

4:05 pm

moolingwa

oh sorry...there are 2

4:05 pm

moolingwa

duh

4:05 pm

moolingwa

tx Bea for checking my work

4:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

An so8, two daughters, one grandchild, one grandchild on the way, and a kid having a tough time.

4:05 pm

hurshy

i feel betrayed

4:06 pm

hurshy

ok mine is a past tense what's the other

4:06 pm

moolingwa

I know, I shall throw myself on a proverbial sword

4:06 pm

moolingwa

something you had earlier hursh

4:06 pm

BzznBea

what you had this morning

4:06 pm

hurshy

a headache?

4:06 pm

moolingwa

in a sense

4:06 pm

hurshy

aha thanks!

4:06 pm

BzznBea

yes

4:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You mean ate, or found or what?

4:06 pm

dcseain

oh, the French/Canadian spelling of that word the EN5 Fishy

4:07 pm

hurshy

well that is a silly word

4:07 pm

moolingwa

I'm bilingual

4:07 pm

moolingwa

well you don't have to be a so8 about it hursh

4:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Don't give any clues that are too direct to the word. There are so many times that chat has just given the word away. No fun.

4:07 pm

hurshy

well i didn't MEAN to

4:07 pm

moolingwa

I normally get accused of being too obtuse

4:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sonovabitch? Sonavitch?

4:07 pm

dcseain

oh, that's a compound I've not heard in decades.

4:08 pm

hurshy

i was asking if that's what they meant, to clarify

4:08 pm

moolingwa

well not so much accused, but more tagged

4:08 pm

moolingwa

which I actually don't mind

4:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I like obtuse. I don't like "vowel, squiggly letter, sometimes vowel"

4:09 pm

moolingwa

my grandfather was really into cryptic crosswords, I am only now beginning to appreciate them

4:09 pm

moolingwa

like a puzzle in a puzzle

4:09 pm

hurshy

elds

4:09 pm

dcseain

I gave up on crosswords 43 years ago.

4:09 pm

hurshy

GAH scuse me

4:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I like cryptic crosswords but have forgotten how to do them

4:10 pm

moolingwa

that's the trick, I think you have to learn the lingo so to speak...and I haven't done that yet, at least not beyond a few common things

4:10 pm

hurshy

have a ko4, what's the other K?

4:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

exactly. Don't just give it away-

4:10 pm

Shirlockc

it's not the fish

4:10 pm

hurshy

i know

4:11 pm

moolingwa

it's cabbage

4:11 pm

moolingwa

:)

4:11 pm

Shirlockc

oooo go it, it's the eyeliner

4:11 pm

moolingwa

at least to certain people

4:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The clues are in halves, and you have to figure out what it is. Someone taught me years ago and then I did a whole book, but my brain is older and dumber

4:11 pm

hurshy

found it

4:11 pm

hurshy

missing one lower O, 2 middle E

4:12 pm

BzznBea

I love that cabbage

4:12 pm

hurshy

as usual annoyed that "omni" doesn't count

4:12 pm

moolingwa

missing the O, and one E

4:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I don't have time to figure it out

4:12 pm

moolingwa

omni doesn't work unless it gets on the bus

4:13 pm

moolingwa

yeah, and there are often action words that tell you what to do

4:13 pm

dcseain

OmniRide is the name of the bus system in Prince William County, Virginia

4:13 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's a Brave New World, but the other so8 will have to elude me. Can someone tell me tomorrow?

4:13 pm

dcseain

that lower right keeps le4ing my brain to Dominion, a common word where I live.

4:13 pm

moolingwa

So omni takes the bus to work would be better methinks

4:14 pm

BzznBea

Finished!

4:14 pm

moolingwa

woohoo!

4:14 pm

BzznBea

namaste

4:14 pm

moolingwa

wtg BB

4:14 pm

moolingwa

still 16 left here

4:14 pm

dcseain

Yay Bea!

4:14 pm

hurshy

wait you didn't get it even after i clarified that bea and mool meant the headache i had this morning, kap?

4:15 pm

moolingwa

3-7-4-2

4:15 pm

moolingwa

11 different tiles

4:15 pm

hurshy

great job bea

4:15 pm

dcseain

just got the other so8. attaching metal.

4:15 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I had that one. You're a captain or a corporal.

4:15 pm

Shirlockc

thx for that fellow cat lady

4:15 pm

moolingwa

well just as well you kept ah...privating?...on seain

4:16 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What's the other other? DOn't tell me...

4:16 pm

moolingwa

well there's a literal meaning and a figurative meaning

4:17 pm

moolingwa

the use is the figurative, but the clue we gave was a literal one

4:17 pm

dcseain

petty is a way to say one SO8

4:17 pm

moolingwa

hursh had one earlier, but is much better now

4:18 pm

hurshy

stupid A words

4:18 pm

dcseain

I have 9/14 and â…œ As so. far

4:18 pm

moolingwa

still have two A words to go...one in the left and one on the bottom

4:18 pm

hurshy

i need one left and THREE bottom

4:19 pm

hurshy

have you got any AO?

4:19 pm

moolingwa

nope

4:19 pm

moolingwa

you might have my missing one on the bottom

4:20 pm

4:21 pm

dcseain

4:21 pm

moolingwa

found my a on the left

4:22 pm

hurshy

what was it

4:22 pm

moolingwa

an abbreviated word

4:23 pm

moolingwa

not sure it would have been accepted on conjunction junction

4:23 pm

hurshy

hmmm... not AWOL

4:23 pm

hurshy

oh i know what you mean, i have that

4:24 pm

moolingwa

4:24 pm

hurshy

hmmmmmmm

4:24 pm

hurshy

just one ae?

4:24 pm

moolingwa

amorel - a mushroom with questionable values

4:25 pm

4:25 pm

hurshy

THE TREE

4:26 pm

moolingwa

it never gets old...

4:26 pm

dcseain

that was my first A word, but one of my names means keeper of the al5 grove in Old French.

4:27 pm

hurshy

bottom i have 4 am and 2 ar6

4:28 pm

hurshy

man, that really is a lot of Ws

4:28 pm

moolingwa

4:29 pm

moolingwa

I have 4 am and 3 ar

4:29 pm

hurshy

so much for your powers of deduction

4:29 pm

moolingwa

I never claimed to be good at it

4:29 pm

moolingwa

amazing could also mean unspeakably bad

4:30 pm

hurshy

ahh

4:30 pm

dcseain

I have an ar7 from there also.

4:30 pm

dcseain

true that re amazing, moo

4:30 pm

hurshy

TWO SEVENS

4:31 pm

hurshy

As Axed!

4:31 pm

moolingwa

actually hursh, when you told me, you said that you were missing 3

4:31 pm

moolingwa

oh duh, i missed the easy one :)

4:31 pm

hurshy

but then i found another one, the last am

4:32 pm

moolingwa

14 to go...at this rate I should finish around 5 hours after the flip

4:32 pm

hurshy

lol

4:32 pm

moolingwa

amazingly - there's that word again - I still have 3 m's and 3 d's to go

4:32 pm

moolingwa

almost half my remaining words

4:33 pm

hurshy

i will tackle M then

4:35 pm

moolingwa

ah, found one

4:36 pm

moolingwa

the lightning strikes soon after in celebration

4:36 pm

hurshy

well i caught up to 3 Ms but now you only have 2

4:36 pm

moolingwa

m's massacred

4:37 pm

hurshy

or none

4:37 pm

moolingwa

yeah, none...no lightning for those last two

4:37 pm

moolingwa

now the D, which promises to be more challenging

4:39 pm

moolingwa

if you hold a bunny, wouldn't you dehop it?

4:39 pm

hurshy

hopefully not permanently

4:40 pm

moolingwa

no, purely temporary

4:40 pm

moolingwa

I count rabbits when I go walking

4:40 pm

moolingwa

today was a 12 lagomorph walk

4:41 pm

moolingwa

I'd count prairie dogs, but there are really too many, I'd be standing there for 30 minutes

4:41 pm

dcseain

LOL

4:41 pm

dcseain

I remember the first time I saw prairie dogs in the wild. Quite the site.

4:41 pm

dcseain

we don't have those in the East.

4:41 pm

Shirlockc

phantom: deposit, and i love the word dehop

4:41 pm

moolingwa

indeed, they are expanding their operations currently into one of the city parks, so that'll end at some point

4:42 pm

moolingwa

tx shirl

4:43 pm

dcseain

avoir du po4 :)

4:43 pm

hurshy

phantom: death

4:44 pm

moolingwa

if only

4:44 pm

hurshy

apparently that french phrase got corrupted

4:44 pm

hurshy

i thought it was so funny, it's like, you're fat, so you should HAVE SOME PEAS

4:44 pm

dcseain

imagine that!

4:44 pm

moolingwa

it was bound to happen

4:44 pm

hurshy

but apparently it was originally poids

4:45 pm

hurshy

i like it better my way

4:45 pm

hurshy

you need TO HAVE SOME PEAS

4:45 pm

dcseain

ah, spelled as pronounced.

5:00 pm

moolingwa

I have some odd ones already

5:00 pm

hurshy

5:02 pm

5:02 pm

moolingwa

5:03 pm

moolingwa

5:03 pm

hurshy

yeah i have that from the other D if that's the one you mean

5:03 pm

5:04 pm

Gillie

5:05 pm

hurshy

5:05 pm

hurshy

5:06 pm

moolingwa

I need 0 on the right, and 3 on the second column

5:07 pm

hurshy

5:07 pm

moolingwa

5:07 pm

Gillie

5:11 pm

moolingwa

yes

5:11 pm

Gillie

do you have the one that looks like it's about hair

5:11 pm

hurshy

well then it must be de, and if it is a prefix then

5:11 pm

hurshy

hair... hair...

5:11 pm

moolingwa

or the obscure tree

5:11 pm

hurshy

no i don't think i do

5:12 pm

hurshy

skin but not hair

5:12 pm

hurshy

tree?

5:12 pm

Gillie

that's the one you said you have

5:12 pm

Gillie

(the tree, I mean)

5:12 pm

hurshy

oh ok

5:12 pm

moolingwa

the only reason I remember it is because I knew a guy from Guyana who had it as his last name, though he was of Indian heritage

5:12 pm

hurshy

so maybe hair then

5:13 pm

moolingwa

yeah

5:13 pm

hurshy

is it like de- is a prefix?

5:13 pm

Gillie

yes

5:14 pm

Gillie

it could mean removing curls, for instance (but it doesn't)

5:14 pm

hurshy

YAY thanks!!!!!

hurshy

5:21 pm

hurshy

i mean i get the skin part but

5:22 pm

moolingwa

yeah, sounds like a japanese word, but isn't

5:22 pm

hurshy

well then maybe i do NOT get the skin part

5:22 pm

moolingwa

it's not a literal clue if that helps hursh

5:22 pm

moolingwa

maybe more a portmanteau :)

5:22 pm

hurshy

oh i figured that much

5:22 pm

Gillie

there's a weird we5, and a few weird wh5

5:23 pm

moolingwa

okay, let me look

5:23 pm

moolingwa

weird is a weird w5 btw :)

5:23 pm

hurshy

phantoms: whelk, whelp

5:24 pm

moolingwa

lawrence would be sad

5:25 pm

Gillie

the we5 has to do with an Austrian skiing technique (not a word I know)

5:25 pm

hurshy

i can make too many weird w5s and they aren't right

5:26 pm

moolingwa

well

5:26 pm

Gillie

Gillie

I'm actually finished (if you hadn't guessed) - went to the list at about 50 left

5:29 pm

hurshy

well i must be thinking all wrong about the loner's skin because i tried h*de4 in morewords and it only has hypode4

5:29 pm

moolingwa

Well I saw the first two letters on 4 of the eights

5:30 pm

moolingwa

that last one of course, and maybe a couple more here and there where I saw references of some sort. And of course comparing notes with you hursh assisted

5:30 pm

Gillie

for the loner, I think he meant a different 2-syllable word with the same first syllable

5:30 pm

moolingwa

I did consider crab skin

5:30 pm

hurshy

the first syllable is the syllable i couldn't figure out lol

5:31 pm

Gillie

rhymes with a skin-related word also in the grid

5:32 pm

hurshy

5:32 pm

hurshy

5:32 pm
