It's good to see the grid again. I thought we were going to have to play invisibabble!

12:22 pm

tedybeth

LOL, Gail -- playing an invisible game could lead to some interesting clue sharing!!! But then, sometimes the words are invisible to my eyes, anyway!

2:05 pm

Gail

L7/40 rabbits and hares (mammals)

2:46 pm

Judi

Any clues on the 8's?

2:56 pm

Daisy

There's an H8 that is stronger than you.
I don't have the other one.

2:57 pm

Gail

h8/55 Expressed warmly, exuberantly, and unrestrainedly:
Complete or thorough; unequivocal:
Vigorous; robust.

2:59 pm

Gail

r8/70 compound word - resembles a lariat or heavy cord.

3:00 pm

suible

h/8/55 providing abundant nourishment; substantial

3:06 pm

Judi

Good clue. Got that H8 right off the bat.

3:11 pm

Judi

Anyone have an alternate clue for the L/7? The rabbits/hares/mammals clue doesn't help. I'm guessing it starts with a lep or lepe.

3:26 pm

suible

L/7 lep - yes lepe - no

3:27 pm

Judi

I killed the wabbit! Stupid root words. Glad I took biology and remember some genus / species/ kingdom junk.

Are there really eight 7s? I only have four! :( If someone could list all of them I would really appreciate it.

9:42 pm

I only have 6 -7's so far:
H27, D40, R36, P36, L40, D32

Do you have any different ones?

9:48 pm

fit1

Tedybeth. How does h7/27 add up? I can't figger the points.

9:48 pm

onyx

anyone else having trouble entering words? it takes forever to load the page each time i enter a word, is it the game or my computer?

9:50 pm

tedybeth

fit1: maybe it's not 7 letters. It was posted at 9:45 a.m. as h/27. at the time I assumed it was a 7-letter word. May be a wrong assumption on my part!! I haven't found it yet either!!

9:50 pm

tedybeth

I do have an H6/27

9:51 pm

tedybeth

onyx: Mine is working much faster than this afternoon .... ??? who ever knows for sure what's going on in cyberland??? :-)

9:52 pm

fit1

yeah, I have that one too, Tedybeth. I know it can't be h7. the "cheapest" points for a 7 is 28

9:53 pm

onyx

as soon as i typed that in it got better... it has been really slow all day so i didn't get to play.... oh well

9:57 pm

tedybeth

Well, onys, you didn't miss part of the day as the grid didn't come up until sometime mid-morning, eastern time. Probably a 12 hr. day rather than 24 hrs.

9:58 pm

Uneaixoise

tedybeth, yeah, that was moi--it's H/6/27

9:59 pm

onyx

i tried to play last night late, it came up with some error message, i thought it was a dream : )

10:07 pm

tedybeth

thnks. I do get myself messed up when I assume things!!!!

Isn't it awful that we can dream about grids and not think it's unusual!!??!!

Going to have give up and get to bed now. Oh well. Good luck to all who are still at it!!
