Good job, Cherry! Yeah, it's a challenge - I hardly ever get more than half the words and I've been playing a while. It's addicting, though!

Cherrypop

Have to quit at 1223-Best score ever! Is there a word list to look at to learn new words?

12:20 pm

Bash

When the puzzle is over, you can look at the word lists of the [people who finished the puzzle - that's a great way to learn all the words!

Happy Sunday: Great warm weekend finally in Massachusetts. Watching a great NASCAR race. Now for help trying to do small ones first any help on the K's they say there are 3 I have 1??

3:13 pm

Bash

There's a k5 and k6 combo that have no definition, but the k5 is also how you spell a district in Gujurat, India...

3:20 pm

speedfreak

Thanks Bash got it by babbling!!

3:30 pm

Mary

I've been babbling with the K's. Do they start with kh?

3:32 pm

Bash

Two of them are kh...

3:36 pm

Mary

Thank you, got em!

3:43 pm

markschell

KH words should not be allowed per rules...TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED
Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign words that are not in the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary..... can anybody explain?

3:58 pm

boatierra

The Babble g-ds accpet the word in the Enable dictionary. That's the explanaition I know. Entiendo, muy, muy frustrado.

5:20 pm

antigonestar

The kh- words also mean "pens for catching elephants", so they're not just proper nouns. True, they're Hindi, but so is a very well-known kh- word, khaki. Perhaps in some very specialized circles (like where one would find all of these nautical and Biblical terms) it's common English. But if it's really not in the Scrabble dictionary, then it's a shame the Babble folks broke their own rule.
