Anyone know how many words are in this puzzle. Gotta be a big one. I have almost 100 words.

I just ran wordracer and it gave 301.
Previously it has mentioned that it
is not always correct. I used it because
it is the only solver that I know of
that has the total at the bottom so
that you don't have to see the list of
words. If anyone knows a better
solution I would be happier to use
it next time.
8:32 am

tangle gives a total of 304 words

I examined the words in yesterday's puzzle. I still don't understand how 2HOTT used PEEPED. I thought that you could not repeat letters that you already used. I don't see any extra E's near PEEP. Can someone explain to me how this works? Thanks

anyone got a clue for the s764? I've about exhausted my brain
3:29 pm
Gail
S7 a child's rocker with the seat built between two sides cut in the shape of an animal.
3:31 pm
MammaJill
the s7/64 is also a song
"........don't bother me"
3:33 pm
Gail
I've had that song stuck in my head ever since I made the word this morning.
3:34 pm
periwinkle
I learned a new word in yesterday's puzzle: wendigo. And today I am reading a mystery and the people in the book are talking about a wendigo. What a coincidence.
3:35 pm
Gail
What's the mystery book that you're reading?
3:36 pm
MammaJill
How many Y words do you have?
I have y4/8 and y6/30
3:37 pm
periwinkle
The book is: Hanging by a Thread by Monica Ferris. The heroine owns a needlecraft shop. You don't have to like or do needle work to like her books.
3:38 pm
Gail
I've read two of her books, don't remember which ones, though. They were good!
3:41 pm

can't believe how much I rely on the stats - my noodling fingers/brain just freezes after a while!

re: "sometimes you have to put in a work more than once b4 babble takes it!!" FYI I tried and tried and never got Babble to accept wendigo yesterday--aarrgghh!
3:42 pm

I have 185 words, I'm striving for 200 but I don't know if I'll make it...
3:43 pm

Gail, I recently read: Murder is a Girl's Best Friend, a Paige Turner mystery by Amanda Matetsky and Cross Your Heart and Hope to Die, a Blackbird Sisters Mystery by Nancy Martin. I enjoyed both of them.
3:43 pm

Taht song must be AFTER my time. I still can't get it. :(
3:45 pm
Gail
I'm reading some of the Jill Churchill series, right now I'm reading "Groom with a View." Just finished "Grime and Punishment." Good summer reading...
3:45 pm
periwinkle
MammaJill, I can't find any Y words. May I please have hints for the ones you have found?
3:45 pm
fit1
Wow. I found it through Google. Believe it or not, I know the song.
3:48 pm
periwinkle
I have read some of Jill Churchill's books and liked them.
3:49 pm
Gail
All I have is the Y6/30 - In or at an indicated place.
3:50 pm
MammaJill
Both y's that I have start with the same 4 letters. Think what a cowboy would say instead of "over there", he would say "over ...."
3:50 pm
Gail
I've been to two huge used book sales so far this summer, stocked up on lots of mysteries.
3:52 pm
boatierra
Cool, it took Oklahoma fans :)
3:52 pm
periwinkle
Wow, Gail, that is great. I go to the free library a lot. They also sell books.
Have you read any of the culinary mysteries.
3:54 pm
periwinkle
Found the Y6. And several other words. Thanks everyone for the hints.
3:54 pm
Uneaixoise
FYI the "song" word is also a kind of pie
3:54 pm
Gail
I just found two more Y words Y4/11 - a Middle English letter and the plural Y5/24.
3:55 pm
Gail
Are you kidding? Mysteries and food - two of my favorite things!
3:58 pm
periwinkle
Well, I learned another new word today: s/7/64. Maybe it will be in the next mystery I read :)
3:59 pm
periwinkle
I found the S/7/64 using Dogpile instead of Google.
4:00 pm
Gail
N7/36 - ones who persistantly pester, annoy or complain. I like this word.
4:01 pm

Thanks Gail ... found those other y's

A good mystery, some ice cream, and Babble --- nothing better than this! [to bad we still have to live a 'real' life]
4:03 pm

I ate all my ice cream! Now what am I going to do?
4:04 pm

Don't forget dark chocolate, yummy!
4:05 pm

Dark chocolate candy that is. And a tall glass of fresh lemonade.
4:06 pm

Oh, I think I still have some of those Lindt Truffles that my daughter brought me a couple of weeks ago...
4:12 pm
Gail
Periwinkle, have you read any of the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency books?
4:15 pm
periwinkle
I tried reading the first book and did not like it.
4:16 pm
tedybeth
amazing how many words you can make without using an 'a' or 't' !!
4:16 pm
Gail
Oh, I enjoyed them, just got the fifth one in the series. They are different, that's for sure.
4:17 pm

Oops, big storm coming, better shut this thing down.

Can't find the n/7/36 but did find the n/7 28
4:22 pm
periwinkle
Found the n/7/36. No wonder I had trouble finding it. It is a variant spelling. Never saw it spelled this way.
4:28 pm
periwinkle
Would someone please post clues for the c/8, l/8 and f/8 mentioned in the log? I cannot find them.
4:29 pm
periwinkle
Oops, I already have the c/8/50.
4:41 pm
fit1
that is how the N7 is spelled. This one means to bother or annoy. The one you are thinking of means to push gently :)
4:43 pm
marigold
Well, then I learned another new word today.
4:45 pm
periwinkle
Me, too
4:46 pm
periwinkle
Already had the L/8 and found the f/8. Are there anymore 8 letter words in this puzzle?
4:53 pm

Mari and Peri. That N7 is of Jewish origin, but it has become Americanized. And right now, I'd give my kingdom for stats. Sigh
4:55 pm

On second thought, who the heck would want a kingdom in New Jersey. LOL

You are all welcome, this is the first time I every did it, and thought that I would see the words so therefore I would have to disqualify myself. But lo and behold there were so many the only one that I remembered was one that I already had.
