@ Katied924: for yesterday's puzzle I only needed the clues, stats and my addicted puzzlehead. But when I get really stuck on a grid, I use tools like the dictionary, google, a-z wordfinder and onelook.com. They really help! :)

8:16 am

Uneaixoise

9:06 am

Dest1028

The is more than one U

9:34 am

Uneaixoise

i only found U4/4 :(

9:50 am

tedybeth

Just watchaed the Discovery space shuttle blast off from our front yard!!

9:51 am

Uneaixoise

just watched it live on tv--soooo exciting!

9:51 am

Uneaixoise

where are you, tedybeth??

9:53 am

lianakate

are there clues in this babble game?..i guess i dont understand it..

9:55 am

Uneaixoise

people will probably be posting clues later in the day--right now the main "clues" are the stats posted by sprite

9:55 am

lianakate

HELP!! I dont see any clues in babble.

9:55 am

tedybeth

I'm in Orlando

9:56 am

lianakate

thanks..I am Polish and dont get it..ack!!

9:56 am

tedybeth

Clues usually come when someone finds a big word -- the little square with the ? mark in it next to the word - if you click on that, it gives a definition. that's usually what we post for others

9:57 am

Uneaixoise

tedybeth, that is so cool--must have been breathtaking!

9:58 am

tedybeth

lianakate: lol - I'm a natural blonde -- and that really gives me lots of 'reasons' for missing the obvious things!!!

9:59 am

tedybeth

The shuttle going up is always awesome - especially at night. And the neighbors all come out and stand in the street to see it appear from behind the trees that have grown a lot in the last 10 years - blocking our view!!!

9:59 am

Uneaixoise

here are a couple: C7/48 and C8/65: A harmonized hymn, especially one for organ

10:01 am

Uneaixoise

wow . . .

10:01 am

Gail

The shuttle liftoff was wonderful, I'll never forget the one time I saw it in person!

10:02 am

Uneaixoise

seems like it would be an awe-inspiring moment!

10:06 am

Gail

It was around 3:00 in the morning, and it just lit up the sky as it went up. I was amazed at how clearly we could see the shuttle itself. You just can't breathe while it's going up.

10:09 am

sarcasticah

Aunt Beth, I am totally jealous that you saw the shuttle from your yard! I had to content myself with watching the webcast at work.

10:14 am

Katied924

thanks, sprite.
I see you were done around 4 a.m. Were you really up that late? Where are you located?

10:15 am

Gail

That trip to Florida several years ago was the best - got my first clear view of the Statue of Liberty as we landed in New Jersey in the morning, and then saw the space shuttle take off early the next morning.

10:21 am

mama

hey tedybeth, we watched it from our front yard too!

10:25 am

mama

I've lived near Kennedy Space Center most of my life -- even saw several Apollo launches. Still, I'm always awed by seeing a launch.

10:35 am

Gail

I love to go to the space center and Merritt island for birdwatching, too. Tedybeth lives in Orlando, she's my sister-in-law and best friend.

10:37 am

Uneaixoise

oooohhhh, was wondering about the connection :)

10:37 am

Uneaixoise

unusual birds on Merritt Island?

10:40 am

Uneaixoise

http://merrittisland.fws.gov--
very cool!! must be fascinating . . .

10:42 am

Gail

Yep, and Sarcastica is my daughter. We are all Babblers.

10:43 am

Uneaixoise

terrific! My daughter plays when she has time at work :)

10:45 am

Gail

I'm playing from home this week, but I usually play all day at work, too! My boss just shakes her head and laughs.

10:53 am

Uneaixoise

a second E7/28

10:54 am

sarcasticah

Yep, I'm playing at work, a little!

11:20 am

mama

Very cool birds. Went there last week. Winter is better though. More variety and larger numbers.

11:25 am

Gail

I've been there in March and April. I used to be a more avid birder - found a lot for my list in Florida that I don't see in Vermont.

11:32 am

Uneaixoise

i can imagine . . . went to see March of the Penguins yesterday, speaking of birds . . . amazing story

11:35 am

Gail

Oh, I want to see that too! Have you seen Winged Migration? That was beautiful.

11:53 am

akajane

help!!!! i need 100 more words

12:27 pm

mama

don't feel bad akajane. I need 145! I can only babble in short bursts. Someone has to take care of the kiddo. ;-)

12:35 pm

parsec

So I'm missing two pesky H's. Here's what I've got:

HEx2
HOx8
HUx5

Any hints?

12:38 pm

Uneaixoise

there's at least one more HE

12:41 pm

Uneaixoise

and at least one more HO

12:43 pm

parsec

thanks! I always get so stuck on the last few of any letter.

12:44 pm

Uneaixoise

know what you mean--me too

12:51 pm

Uneaixoise

i'm tearing my hair out over the last "w"--i've got two each of 4, 5, and 6 letters . . . any hints?

12:55 pm

lawyer-1

There are at least 3 w/4

1:01 pm

lawyer-1

There are 3x w4
3x w5
2x w6

1:01 pm

Uneaixoise

thanks!

1:11 pm

sprite

@ Katied924: for me it was morning! :D I play from the Netherlands, so I guess we are about 6 hours apart.

@ Dest1028: are you sure? Can you tell how many you found?
When I started I was positive the UN- prefix would give us quite a few words, but so far I haven't been able to find more than the statmaker gave.

1:57 pm

baggo

help with the n's please...

n4x4
n6x4
n7
just can't see it

2:03 pm

Gail

There is an N4/4 that is a rare Hawaiian goose - maybe you are missing that one. We had it one time before.

2:05 pm

baggo

thx gail i have that one!

2:08 pm

Gail

Do you have the small salamander? Or have you found them all now?

2:09 pm

Troy

N7 - one who settles down comfortably into a thing a bird builds.

2:09 pm

baggo

thanks gail i was missing the one used in fishing...thought i'd already used it...alas... i should quit for a bit.. 8)

2:11 pm

Uneaixoise

N7/28 is based on one of the N6's . . . and FYI I've got five N4's

2:11 pm

Uneaixoise

sorry--never mind! :)

2:12 pm

Gail

When I logged off earlier, I had 218 words. When I logged back on, I only had 216. My U word had disappeared and I haven't figure out what other word is gone...

2:14 pm

baggo

thanks all for your clues...i completed the other night, or so i thought to log on and see that i hadn't...

2:15 pm

baggo

someone posted awhile back that they don't log off they just diminish it, and that way the don't lose any words..

2:16 pm

Troy

I've had it remove words from my list today too! I had a rough time figuring out which ones they were. Kind of annoying considering I'm at work.

2:18 pm

Uneaixoise

i've logged off before without losing words -- don't think minimizing is the answer, but i could be wrong . . . of course, in this heat I just may not be AWARE that I've lost words!

2:24 pm

baggo

i think it may just be to problems that they have been having with the server. my page, and i'm on high speed takes a bit to reset now when i enter a word...

2:33 pm

Katied924

sprite - I thought you must be across the pond somewhere. :)

2:42 pm

sprite

At least I am not the only one loosing words here... playful babblegods, perhaps? ;-)
I still wonder about the U-words. No reply from Dest1028 so far, but did anybody else find more than one U-word today?

2:44 pm

baggo

i haven't found any but the one..sprite.

2:59 pm

Judi

Ah, our old friend the stent. How I missed it.

Any clues for the E7 and the 2 T7 28s?

4:10 pm

Uneaixoise

E7 was posted this morning by dolphin

4:11 pm

Uneaixoise

T7/28 x 2: playing a flute softly and repeatedly

4:19 pm

dolphin

E7 is related to the intestine

4:22 pm

dolphin

The T/7/28s come from a 4 letter base word- there's also a 5 and 2 6's. My granddaughter uses this word when someone passes gas! I think technically it means to play softly on a flute.

4:49 pm

dolphin

S/7/40

4:54 pm

baggo

s8/55 (don't think mentioned) means gentlemen in portuguese

4:55 pm
