6:47 am
youngster
Thea...F6/30 means a word beginning with F containing 6 letters, scoring 30 points. 5 letter words are double the initial score, 6 letter words are trebled etc

I got mine purely by typing in all different combos! Saw it on MoS too - how addictive! Better than sudoku
11:35 am

i think maybe just some of the y words, but could be wrong. One of the j's is an acronym and its plural
11:36 am
just-jo
still can't get any u's!! how many letters are they?
11:37 am

I'm just resisting the temptation to try that. Which y don't you have?

can someone explain all these codes like n7/28 mean?it would really help.thanks
12:41 pm
just-jo
the letter tells you the first letter of the word, the number tells you how many letters, and the final number tells you the score of the word.
eg n6/24 would mean a 6-letter word beginning with n that scores 24
12:43 pm

Welcome to new Babblers - from all over the world!!
Hint: when you get really stuck, a good reference tool is the a2zwordfinder.com site. In their 'partial letters lookup' section you can put in any beginning letters, ending letters, or even middle ones. It then pulls up all the words, but letter count, beginning with the letters you put in [etc.]. Very helpful especially for the words that are especially unknown!!
12:48 pm
Anj
elouber - o4/4 is another word for poems.
12:49 pm
pask
is there a set number of words you have to find
12:50 pm

oops - should proofread my msgs. a2zwordfinder gives you all the words divided BY letter count - sorry
12:50 pm
just-jo
Anj... there's e4/7 (think of the overhang on a roof) and another e4/7 (think of what part of the body you see out of, and add another letter), but there are atill 4 more e's to find...
denny, i need a clue on that d6/21... please!!!
elouber - for the o4/4, think of the first number when you count, and add another letter)

Just-jo - Denny hit the spot with the dining alfresco clue. Think picnic - it's two 3 letter words in the wrong order %-)
1:01 pm

d5/12 is if you want to repeat something, d6/21 is plural.
o6/18 is bizarre but is literally alfresco dined!

a simple suggestion for those of you constantly scrolling down to the babble stats or writing them down...just cut and paste them onto a word document, englarge the type face so you can read it, and leave it up as an open page so you can always refer to it.

da6/21 related to the same d4
3:58 pm
sfneil
kimdog, the other da6 is a da6/21 and is related to the two das you're talking about. I don't know the definitions for these words, but the one you need sounds like it might be a dimunitive form of the shorter one you already have.
If that's any help ;)
