12:54 am

Hugabugs

93/1008

where do the stats come from?

12:57 am

smithchick

Wow, you must have some high point words that I'm missing. I think some people have some kind of stat generator program or something. I'm kind of a technophobe, so I don't know much about these things.

12:58 am

llama

I'm stuck at 96/970 (and also wondering what big word Hugabugs found!)...I wish I knew how to do the stats-thingy!

1:01 am

smithchick

Me, too.

1:01 am

Hugabugs

I've got f5/16x5 if that helps

I'm not too technical myself

morning all, i have one A to find. So far I have 1a5/16, 2a5/10,1a6/18,1a4/10. Any clues about which one I'm missing?

1:45 am

not to worry, found it!

1:45 am

boreetos

1:45 am

boreetos

1:46 am

smithchick

an a4/6. One of those you'll kick yourself over.

2:10 am

zoom

are the O words really obscure today?

2:11 am

sprite

There is at least one O you see quite regularly! ;-)

2:12 am

smithchick

I've got two fairly common ones and one less used, but not obscure so far.

2:13 am

zoom

sprite, if that's to do with frequency, i found that one but am drawing a blank with more at the moment.

2:15 am

zoom

caffeine needed, time for a break,back soon.

2:25 am

sprite

There is only one O a little obscure, O4/4 with no def that I can find. If you change one letter of the word that babble says to me all the time, you'll have it.

2:29 am

zoom

thanks sprite,got it, babble says it to me all the time too!

2:31 am

LadySmilerofbabb

sprite - there's a second O5/16

2:33 am

sprite

I have the word, smilerannie, but I do not think there is anything obscure about it :)

2:34 am

LadySmilerofbabb

Sorry - I though you said there's only 1 O. My mistake

2:34 am

i heart toasty

i'm having all kinds of trouble finding the last F5/16

2:36 am

LadySmilerofbabb

don't be 'silly' i heart toasty

2:37 am

sprite

There are 7 Os, of which only one is obscure. I am nowhere near finishing the Fs, so I can't help there, i heart toasty.

2:38 am

LadySmilerofbabb

I only have 4 Fs, but I do have the F5/16

2:41 am

sprite

Got only 7 Fs, but there are 2 F5/16 among them. Differ in only one letter.

2:42 am

zoom

caffeine always helps-well, a bit. now have1 o5/14,1 o5/16, 2 o4/4. any clues on the missing 3?

2:43 am

O4/4, O4/6, O5/10

2:50 am

LadySmilerofbabb

thanks sprite. Now got the other F5/16

2:57 am

i heart toasty

wait, how many 05/16 words are there? Because i've got 7 o words and only one 05/16.

2:59 am

sprite

There is only one O5/16.

3:00 am

zoom

thanks sprite, got the o4/6, still looking for the other two.

3:01 am

LadySmilerofbabb

I think there's only 7 Os, but I only have 1 and that's the O5/16 :(

3:11 am

sprite

P7/60 - P8/80 combo I am surprised to see valid. Thought it was calling names. Def: 'derogatory term(s) used to describe someone who is possibly attracted to people of their own gender' (the word seems to come from Australia)

3:17 am

morning from fife
happy hunting

3:20 am

absolute annie

good mornin from sunny glasgow,
here we go again huh

3:22 am

sprite

Good morning to you!

3:24 am

sprite

155 words / 4.57 / 1804 points is what we are looking for today... with some surprising finds :)

3:27 am

i heart toasty

the only time i've ever heard the p8/80 was in a flying circus episode

3:27 am

absolute annie

Oh fab sprite, am sooooo addicted to this site, but my pc is running v.slow this mornin, its takin ages to load when I put a word in the box, gawd knows whats up, if it goes on like this I will b here till next week

3:37 am

sprite

I hate that when that happens, takes half the fun out of the game if your pc runs slow. I always stop any downloads when I start playing.
Oh, one more hint: there is one of the seven sins in the grid! ;)

3:40 am

absolute annie

Ahh got it fixed sprite, I run my laptop connection through a router and so does my son, he was downloadin somethin, only thing is now I cant see any words lol

3:42 am

sprite

You mean all words you found are lost? That is bad!

3:44 am

absolute annie

Nah, i still got them, just seemed more to find while I was staring at screen waitin on it loadin

3:44 am

Debs40ish

Any clues for the 2 8's?...

3:51 am

Dianne

Wish I had some Aussie mates for the P7?60 and P8/80.

3:52 am

ROZY

u mean 2 words with 8 letters? Sorry, I am new to this

3:52 am

ROZY

I'm an AUSSIE :-)

3:53 am

zoom

ah well, 94 words and babbled out for the moment. still missing an o4 and an o5, sprite!

3:55 am

i heart toasty

The first half of the P8/80 isn't all that uncommon in a similar context.

3:58 am

absolute annie

Im shocked at the p7/p8 word being there, Im in social work and will prob be struck off the register just for using that word!!!!!

3:58 am

sprite

Zoom, my bet is you are missing the combo for 'fragrant essential oil(s) or perfume(s) obtained from flowers or petals'.
Alternate spelling. Good luck!

Absolute Annie, glad you didn't loose all your words! :) You'll find the rest, I am sure.

4:00 am

ROZY

WHAT DOES 'o4 and an o5' MEAN?

4:12 am

augurus

ROZY: CAPS LOCKS ROX!

Er... check the rules section, which tells you about the scoring system. For example, smithchick found a L7/52 which means that smithchick found a word that starts with L, has seven letters, and nets 52 points.

4:13 am

zoom

rozy,it means Owords with 4 &5 letters

4:14 am

zoom

sprite, i'm sure you're right but still struggling.

4:47 am

augurus

The root of P8/80 is Australian, but the slang only applies in the British language.

Again, it shouldn't be a valid word.

6:27 am

tbear

hey guys its tbears daughter lol cant you give me any tips for finding words? im new at this x

6:41 am

Yoink

Jaxx, you can download the Enable dictionary from here: http://personal.riverusers.com/~thegrendel/enable2k.zip but it is the latest version and Babble isn't using the latest I don't think, so there will be words in there that Babble will still not allow.

hello, im new at this. what code are you guys talking in?

lo6/18 - you might play this and get millions (plural)

10:11 am

zoom

brilliant leila, thanks. do you have clues for the other two?

10:13 am

Leila

lo6 is plural of lo5, don't know what they literally mean but think abundance + an exclamation. Hope that makes some sort of sense!

10:14 am

Leila

Meant to say abundance singular

10:15 am

zoom

think i might have that one already leila, is there only one lo5/16

Munner, J5 is French, coin-like
the other is plural for the J4/11 also French for a springing jump in ballet. LOL

ok, so i know what the first half of the P8 is, but i think i need a hint as to which direction to go in for the second half...

any hints on the F8 would be helpful too!

10:44 am

Leila

for end of p8, invert what you wear on your head and make it plural

10:44 am

Lolly

the second part is the backwards of wot u put on ur head, then pluralise it

10:45 am

EvaNadine

thanks lolly!

10:45 am

Mary

Evanadine, the second part of the P8 is as if to say goodbye in high-society.
the F8 is what is found at the bottom of a page in a book. Hope it helps without giving away too much.

Missed your post Hi there...

12:02 pm

Leila

mzhokie - p4/9
Any clues on the p5/9?

12:05 pm

Jera

I heard somewhere that they publish previous puzzles' word lists... is that true?

12:07 pm

miman

Leila
5 letter words are double the letter points - so how can you get a nine pointer from 5 letters?

12:08 pm

EvaNadine

P5/9 isnt possible...must be a typo...

12:09 pm

Leila

Ah yeah, good point. I only asked as mzhokie said they had one, but I guess it was a typo and we're actually looking for the same one

12:10 pm

brandyjack

Jera, click on archives at the top, then shoose the puzzle. when it comes up, click on the name of the person with the highest score to see their wordlist.

12:11 pm

swmbo

Leila, I don't think there can be a p5/9 if there is a p4/9. But there is a po5/14...

Jera, if you go to yesterday's puzzle and click on the person with the highest score, you will get a list of all of yesterday's words. You can do this for any number of back games.

12:11 pm

Jera

Thanks!

12:12 pm

miman

19 words short but got to go for my evening meal. keep babbling

12:12 pm

mzhokie

my mistake it was a p4-9...sorry about that

12:15 pm

mzhokie

I'm 21 words short so I guess I need to take a break and come back later with hopefully a fresher brain.

12:15 pm

Leila

Thanks swmbo, just got to find it now!

12:18 pm

EvaNadine

actually, theres P5/14 x2

12:18 pm

CadFan

How does one know how many words are possible? I've found 80 thus far.

12:20 pm

Leila

I've got po5/14x3. Are there anymore?

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

CadFan -- there are babble-solving programs.
some people have them set up in such a way that they can find all the counts (we call them stats) without actually seeing the answers. that way, we know what we are looking for.

12:20 pm

I've got an e4 and an e5. What else is there?

1:25 pm

lola100

Aaah, thanks guys! How are you doing with todays grid?

1:26 pm

jrs

Hello, all - I'm new to Babble (this is only my 2nd game), though I'm a long-time fan of Boggle. Am I correct in interpreting such cryptic abbreviations as L7/52 as a 7-letter word beginning with 'L' whose value is 52 points? Also, I saw that someone had written "no I have all the other words just looking for an s4 ". Is there a list each day that gives the number of words to be looking for, and what kind they are?

1:26 pm

lola100

Moozey- james blunt is on bbc2!

1:27 pm

Jera

Oh well, gotta scoot, Girl Scout pool pary. The A's beat me. Hopefully can do some more tonight. Have fun, people!

1:31 pm

lola100

Ooooh, he's lovely! Why are you bleating Anj?

1:32 pm

Moozey

jrs - you are correct in your assumption and if you scroll down through the posts somebody usually posts the babble stats

1:32 pm

Anj

jrs - that's it in a nutshell.
Scroll down the posts for a list of today's words. They get reposted regularly...

AmyE

I have a ce4 and that's all!

8:39 pm

melissamay

Got it! Amy, think slang for a $100 bill, with an "e" added, and then make it plural. Funny how I sometimes seem to find something just after I ask!

8:39 pm

Hi Callie! Anybody remember this line from Sesame Street: "Anybody got a used 'u'???" I have had it running through my head since I started playing Babble LOL
