po4/2, po5 and po6

2:23 am

sprite

Practice, Debs40ish! After being fooled by P4/12s and T5/20s in several babblegrids, one learns to watch out for them ;)

2:27 am

Boysaway

I'm rubbish at this - only got 44 words so far and brain dead.

2:27 am

Debs40ish

64/844 and the suns shining in England so think I should make the most of it.. Take care, be happy & smile... Lifes too short.. Cya everyone :)x

2:28 am

Boysaway

Any clues for the Os?

2:29 am

smithchick

Alright, I'm going to have to break down and ask for e clues. I just have one, e4/7. For some reason, I'm e challenged.-

2:30 am

redletter

One of the o's is the past tense of an exclamation

2:33 am

Bye, debs... Enjoy the sun!

2:59 am

3:08 am

smithchick

Got that one sprite, but thx!

3:12 am

smithchick

Church in the morning. G'night all.

3:17 am

sprite

In that case you need E4/5, a word that has been in grids before, but I do not know a def. It is part of the name of a duck that is famous for its down.

3:26 am

TinaK

hello, I don't suppose anyone can give me the last 3 words from yesterdays puzzle. I was missing le 5/16, re 6/36 and the elementary high school clue for the e. Is this allowed, it is really bugging me as I haven't completed a puzzle yet, only on my fourth tho', still hope for me.

3:27 am

Hugabugs

I'm missing my last 6 word. I have c6, d6, h6, p6, w6x2

Can anyone help me along?

3:28 am

sprite

Tinak, if you click yesterday's puzzle and then click one of the topnames, you will find a complete list of yesterday's words. When I started, I did that often and learned a lot of new words that way ;)

3:29 am

broll

TinaK - Click on Archives at the top of the screen, then click on a players name and you will get all the words

3:29 am

sprite

S6

3:32 am

broll

s6 I have w6/30. Any clue on the other?

3:32 am

Hugabugs

Thanks Sprite

3:32 am

sprite

One W6 is a superlative, the other is a past tense.

3:36 am

broll

thx. head smack! That's my w's. 77/1022 and struggling!

3:38 am

sprite

Struggling too, it is a tough grid for me. Or I am having a very blond day :D

3:39 am

Babbler

k4/8. clue: xxxxxxxxxx !!

: D

3:44 am

Hugabugs

any hint to go with that s6?

3:49 am

lexi

59/779, Gnight from Oregon

3:50 am

broll

se6/36

3:52 am

sprite

S6: contrasting decoration or counterbalance

3:52 am

TinaK

Thank you Prite and Broll, you learn something new everday. I can now complete all the previous ones I didn't quite manage.

3:53 am

sprite

That will arm you for future grids with many interesting though totally useless words :D

3:56 am

Hugabugs

Thanks Broll and Sprite, got it!

4:08 am

sprite

I need one more D and it is driving me bananas. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
I have D4 x7, D5 x3, D6 x1 and D7 x2.

4:16 am

lexi

4:16 am

Dianne

Sptite, you are missing a d4
but I can't be definite about which one.

4:17 am

Hugabugs

I'm missing one of those d5's. I have d5/20 and d5/22...

4:18 am

4:18 am

Then you need D5/12.

4:18 am

Dianne

4:19 am

sprite

Got it, thought I entered that long ago. Thanks!

4:22 am

Dianne

Sprite, look for another de/4

4:27 am

Hugabugs

Sprite & Dianne, thanks, I finally got it

Dianne

I really need some help with the S words. I have SE/5 x 1, SI/4 x 2,
SK/4 x 1, Sk/5 x 1, St/4 x 1 and St/5 x1. But after that I'm stuck.

4:30 am

broll

I have de7/44. Other d7 clue?

4:34 am

Hugabugs

Dianne, you need another st4... but I need the last one too

4:37 am

Dianne

4:38 am

Dianne

But - I'm still missing 3 S words :(

4:39 am

Hugabugs

Hugabugs

NM...I got the word that uses the U..

4:50 am

Hugabugs

broll, I'm confused I have si4/5 and si4/8

4:57 am

broll

My mistake! I wrote down a nonword. I need an s also. And some sleep!

4:59 am

Hugabugs

It's easy to understand... 5 a.m. is way too late, but only 6 words to go.. *sigh*

5:01 am

Dianne

Hugabugs, thanks I got the se6/30 but no luck on the st5/10. Got a clue?

5:02 am

broll

Latin plural st/4

5:03 am

Hugabugs

it's the plural of an st4

5:04 am

Hugabugs

I have o4/8... anyone got the other?

5:06 am

Janie

Hi out there!
Any hints on my missing a?
I have a4/4 x2 and a5/18 x2

5:08 am

Dianne

it sounds a little like one of the states

5:08 am

Hugabugs

Janie, you need another a5

5:09 am

Hugabugs

Dianne thanks, excellent clue

5:10 am

Dianne

Hugabugs & broll - thanks, now I need just one more of the S words........

5:15 am

Hugabugs

Dianne, I think it's an s5. I'm only missing 3 - 5 letter words and that's one of them

5:27 am

Janie

Thanks to both Hugabugs and Dianne.
My o's and a's are complete!
Now for the pesky missing c that I have and my final s.....

5:29 am

Dianne

This is the 4th or 5th time I've played this and I have already developed a love hate relationship with this game!

5:30 am

Hugabugs

I'm missing an f5, h5 and s5

I have an fa5 and fe5x2
I have ha5x2, he5x2
I have se5, sk5 and st5x2

Can anyone help?

5:33 am

broll

fe5x3

5:35 am

Janie

Broll, is it the small mongrel dog??

5:36 am

Hugabugs

broll, thanks just got the fe5

5:39 am

Janie

Aaargh!
It's just gone 11.30 am in London, England. I came down 3 and a half hours ago to make a cup of tea, and here I am still sitting here in my dressing gown!!! 9 words to go.....the furthest I've got so far, but ****** frustrating!!!

5:40 am

broll

fe5x2 party-related and fe5 small m-dog

5:40 am

Moozey

5:41 am

Chessy

5:50 am

Hugabugs

Dianne, another fa4 and fe4

5:51 am

Janie

Dianne, you need another fa/4 and another fe/4. There are 3 x fe/5.
If you need more clues just ask!

5:56 am

Janie

Any help out there for the two h's I don't have?
I know that they are h6/39 and h7/44, but I just can't see them!!

5:59 am

Chessy

Janie, the h6/39 is past tense of one of the h4/4 - hoisted to assess weight

5:59 am

Dianne

Janie, thanks for the help. Just 4 more words to go. For the h7/44 think telephone operator.

6:01 am

Janie

Thanks Chessy and Dianne.
Mucho appreciated x

10:12 am

Munner

LOL lianakate, no one can figure out my accent. I'm from Arizona, but taught ESL for years and concentrated on correct enunciation. Most guess I'm from somewhere in Europe!

10:12 am

Anj

Deeha, nobody here but us chickens ;)
Yup, you can log out and your words will still be there when you log back in.

10:15 am

Anj

10:16 am

Chessy

10:17 am

Moozey

Anj - I've been struggling with de7/44 and de5/12 so if you break it before I, wouldya give me a clue?

10:18 am

lola100

I'm doing okay, just got the D's, H's and S's left. 85 words so far :)

10:18 am

Mary

lianakate, I know what you're going through, done it for almost 2 years since I've quit, after smoking for over 50 years, and still want one every minute of the day. Hang in there and good luck. We're addictive personalities, so I guess that's why we're babbling.........

10:19 am

Anj

Me! Me!

10:20 am

lola100

Moozey, de7/44 is a superlative of one of your de4/8's :)

10:21 am

Chessy

I'll fax you a cup

10:21 am

lianakate

Mary..addictive personalities..?..lol, must be. I have been smoking for..about 45 yrs..(i think)..Doc said quit or lose your legs..(what a pessimist he is..LOL) ..and a scare monger. ty for good wishes

10:26 am

Anj

Same here lola100.
Moozey, that de5/12 is someone who believes God created the universe and then basically scarpered leaving it to us to get on with it.

10:28 am

Anj

We will try and leave some good ones munner. Take it easy.

10:28 am

lola100

10:40 am

Anj

Mary, if you minimise your browser(s) and any other progs you're running you will be looking at the de7/56 :)

10:40 am

Mostly cola and freebie ciggies from Wills, Anj. I don't remember eating at all. It was a charity thingy and the sadistic manager offered us an extra five shillings for every strike after 50 hours. His money was safe. By that time we were all bowling two-handed. Loved Clifton. Did you know that in the days when phones had letters on, if you dialled the word OBSCENITY you got the Suspension Bridge tollbooth?

2:36 pm

lola100

movieman, I suppose it could be another term for earphones?

2:36 pm

hokie carla

silky: it's supposedly Southern US, but I've never heard it before. (the fe word you're looking for). You usually see it as a 6 letter word ending in y. Took me forever to find it!

2:37 pm

Gwen

zade, other 'o' is past tense of exclamation. Simular to aa5/18

2:37 pm

lola100

zade oh4/7- like an american state but the last letter is different

2:37 pm

movieman

hi lola100!
many thanx, it's really annoying when i don't get the obvious ones!!!

Thanks!

2:40 pm

silkysings

lola100

No problem movieman! Where've you been all day?

2:40 pm

Zade

Thank you lola100, have completed, love you even more now! xxx

there's the greek walkway, plus the greek walkwayS ending in one vowel, then a second greek walkwayS ending in a different vowel. Or that's what they look like. Anytway, the two sto5's are 'greek walkway' plus one vowel.

5:02 pm

Anj

swmbo, your Ks are:
ke4 /8 - acetone/carbonyl group (or Peter Seller's sidekick in the Pink Panther films with an E instead of an A)
ki4/11 - dreamlike intoxication (and, ironically enough, how Mick Jagger pronounces his guitar sidekick's name with an I instead of an E lol)

8:33 pm

Sto5 - An ancient Greek covered walk, with a greek sounding ending. The second one is the same but with a different vowel on the end.

8:35 pm

Mary

Thanx, PK, got them both but my total is only 102, so now I have to go back and see what I missed. And here I thought I was finished, oh well!

Mich..so true...I hope I can get in to a 12 step program tomorrow to help me avoid this addiction...(one thing if you're good at it..you get positive reinforcement)

Ugh - oh my, I'll have to see if Ughs is an acceptable word...alas, and alak..oops - maybe they are on that board...maybe OOps is a word.!!

Thanks everyone who took the time to give out clues to the newbies, like me.

Mary

Got it. I was missing an Si4/8. Am all done and now I can take it easy. Thank you all and to all a good night until tomorrow.

8:42 pm

pk

mich - they are a 4 and a 5

8:44 pm

Mary,
Si4/8 sounds like something a sorority girl would say

usually spelled differently

8:49 pm

mich

mary,si4/8 also defined as gutter or stream usually dry in summer. can also sound like something you ride

8:50 pm

mich

forgot to add, something you ride but change one of the letters!

Hi all: missing one a5, one e4, 2 s's, 4 t's and 8 h's....any help?

11:05 pm

pk

IMHO, se6 should be 2 words. babble apparently feels it is one. The def would be what you do when you leave for a trip.

11:05 pm

Dianne

PK - just this moment got it - thanks anyway for the help. 103 and I am outta here - for a while :) Got to get some work done!

11:07 pm

olliew

I agree with u - shld b 2

11:08 pm

pk

pav3 - for your ae5's, google yellow fever mosquito for the first one, and then take a "sigh of relief" for the second one (then make it past tense)

11:10 pm

pk

for your e4s, acronym for electronic funds transfer system, and a type of duck, but drop the last letter

11:12 pm

pk

see posts at 3:04 and 3:08 pm for your h's

11:13 pm

PAV3
