The C8 clue is very clever. The clue is not about the person, its about the type of rhyme - which is based on a person's name.

11:23 am

butterfly

tedybeth

A8/40 - don't think it's been mentioned before.

5:50 pm

DarleenMB

anyone have a clue for the W8/70? Found all kinds of other w's but not that one.

5:58 pm

periwinkle

Darleen, if you have the w/6/36, just add an ending.

6:00 pm

periwinkle

Add an S to the w/8/70 and voila w/9/90.

6:02 pm

DarleenMB

Periwinkle, I have 3 w6's but none of them "wants' anymore endings... Guess I'd better hunt up another one....

6:08 pm

fit1

tedy, is that a second a840? And does anyone have the a740? I'm going nuts

6:08 pm

periwinkle

The W/6 I am referring to is the basis for the w/7/8/9.

6:09 pm

periwinkle

w/6: shrivel, dry up

6:13 pm

DarleenMB

smack me with a dictionary, Periwinkle. I thought I had TRIED that one earlier. tsk.

6:14 pm

periwinkle

:) Sometimes I miss the most obvious words.

8:25 pm

tedybeth

I'm soooo sorry --- just got back to the computer. my post at 5:46 p.m. is NOT a second A8 --- i had missed the first one posted in the a.m. somehow. Sorry to confuse everyone - even myself.

8:51 pm

roberts1

Too many messages to sort out. I have 10 8's:
A40
C65 X2
C80
E55
L40
L55
M50
R40
W70
and believe that there is another C65. Does anyone know what the last 8 is? I hope that it hasn't already been posted. :)

9:05 pm

onyx

c 5 20 with a suffix there was no definition

9:06 pm

tedybeth

roberts1 -- there is another C8/65. But I haven't found that last 8 word either ..???

9:07 pm

onyx

so that leaves one more. 12 8 letter words.
does any one wanna share the missing one?

9:08 pm

onyx

the c 5 is a type of quartz

9:18 pm

roberts1

Thank you for the clues. I vaguely remember the C5 but probably would not have come up with it without help. One to go! (On the 8's. Too many to go otherwise.)

9:19 pm

DarleenMB

sigh. Any clue at all for the A8?

9:20 pm

tedybeth

How does anyone ever have enough time to finish one of these larger ones??

9:21 pm

onyx

stay up all night?

9:22 pm

tedybeth

the A7/28 & A8 are based from an A5/10 that means to adjust of change

9:24 pm

tedybeth

LOL, onyx --- you're right!! I take care of my almost-3yr. old granddaughter during the day - and she doesn't take kindly to me starting at the computer instead of playing with her! And I definitely need my sleep to keep up with her!!!

9:24 pm

Uneaixoise

A8 . . . think "tailors"

9:27 pm

onyx

teddybeth,
a three year old is a whole lot better than a computer screen, my 11 year old keeps me on my toes

9:29 pm

tedybeth

Absolutely, onyx. I wouldn't trade this precious child for anything!! My daughter brought her home at age 12 months from an orphanage in Nepal --- and she has blessed us from the very first time we laid eyes on her!!

9:30 pm

tedybeth

But I can occupy her for a while with her crayons, etc., and a dvd right beside me at the computer!!! the best of both worlds!!

9:34 pm

onyx

then there is always a nap! : )

9:34 pm

roberts1

On that note, I believe I will call it a night. Good luck all in finding the last 8 and however many others you have to go. Happy hunting! :)

10:08 pm

DarleenMB

Thanks ... again, can't believe I didn't see it earlier. tsk. brain dead from the heat.
