Brandyjack - could I request that you not list the 2nd letter of words this early in the game? That's something that can be very useful when the going gets tough, but it's nice to be able to try to find words oneself at the outset. Thanks!

Munner

Is it the remains of the meds I took last night, or is this puzzle tougher than usual?

8:54 am

ubgrud

LOL. I made up one of mine too. I just don't see anything. Probably obscure medical terms or extinct animals.

8:57 am

Chessy

Think this is a real tough one Munner. Way too many vowels. think I might just go and sit in the sun instead! :)

8:57 am

lola100

Hi munner, how are you doing today? It's not your meds, I'm afraid, I am really battling too!

8:58 am

lola100

Good call chessy, think I'll join you!

8:59 am

Munner

I used to be an English second language teacher as well as every grade K-12. I just try word patterns and come up with words I have no idea what they mean and don't care as long as I get the points!

9:02 am

Chessy

sometimes I think that's how the puzzles are set - just by random typing ! :)

9:02 am

tiger

I'm really struggling too I've only got 31 words

9:13 am

ubgrud

lola100: LOL re "random typers anon"

9:27 am

Jera

Sorry you are past me ubgrud

9:28 am

Jera

Oh no, obvious is sometimes necessary with the evil Q's. Now I must battle the final I!!

9:29 am

lola100

ubgrud, you need another 5/22- want a clue?

9:32 am

ubgrud

Yes Please! :D

9:33 am

lola100

One is a plural of a w4/10. The other is a tropical fish (sounds like a search engine or the noise you might make when you finish this puzzle!)

9:34 am

Jera

I have 2 i4's any help on last one?

9:35 am

ubgrud

lola100: Thank you!!! Perfect clues. I actually made the sound when I found the word... ;)

I feel at a disadvantage here. All you seem to be Brits..and your jargon is a wee bit different than here in the Southern USA..I imagine some of our words would throw you for a loop as well..(i want to visit ENGLAND!! and try mushy peas..lol)

11:39 am

mickie

I'm new here. Is there a way to see the final list of words after the puzzle is closed? I would like to be able to see what I missed!

I can't say that I use all the words I find in daily conversation!!

11:45 am

Hi Chessy - no, but there are a few of the usual suspects all the same :)

1:28 pm

Bugzy

miman - I've got 30 H's (all the ones in the 12:41 post) so you at least have 1 that I haven't got!!

1:29 pm

Anj

y/w Tomiazan. I've nailed the O thanx to Lola. I've got 32 Hs, so the missing one is probably soooo obvious lol

1:29 pm

lola100

Anj: it's the plural of a word meaning :a corrosive solution of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid! There is a book called "White *****nder".

1:32 pm

lola100

Okay Anj, it's the lo5/10 I'm missing. Please help as brain seems to be on holiday today!

1:32 pm

TomazianRedfist

ol4/4 - A corrosive solution of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid. is also plural for a word that isn't in todays puzzle, if you need another clue can only think of one more that would give it away pretty much

1:34 pm

miman

SpriteLynn There are 2 he6/27

1:34 pm

Judi

May I have a clue for the R5-18 please?

1:36 pm

miman

Judi sounds like a stone

1:36 pm

Chessy

think of a ball game played with hoops & mallets, and knock off the letters at each end.

1:38 pm

Bugzy

Got it -- Thx miman!

1:39 pm

Bugzy

Too bad there's no "e" to go on the end of that h/27

1:40 pm

lola100

These are the H's I have (32 as I'm missing one):
ha4/7 x 7
ha5/16 x 4
he4/7 x 7
he5/16 x 5
he6/27 x 2
he4/10
ho4/7 x 2
ho5/16 x 2
ho6/27
hw4/10
Please could someone let me know which one I'm missing? :)

1:41 pm

Anj

Cheers LOla, I'll work on that one.
Your L5/10 is a sort-of acronym for 'long range navigation'

1:42 pm

miman

lola100 there are 5 x ha5/16

1:43 pm

Chessy

no wonder I'm going mad - I'd written down that there are 15 T words, not 5!! aarrgh :)

1:43 pm

lola100

Thanks Anj, just got the L! :)

1:44 pm

lola100

Thanks miman, will work on that!

1:44 pm

Anj

Lola, mt H list reads the same as yours :(

1:44 pm

Minski

miman -- you said there are 2 he 6/27s. I found 1 he 6/27 and 1 ho 6/27. Am I missing an he 6/27?

1:45 pm

Anj

Cheesy, it just SEEMS like 15 lol

1:46 pm

Minski

forget it miman. found the answer if not the word.

1:46 pm

Chessy

Cheesy?

1:47 pm

miman

there are two he6/27
one is organs and the other a drug

1:47 pm

Anj

MInski, there are 2 he/627s:
1) U2 song "Two H.... beat as One"
2) Rock star drug of choice...

1:49 pm

Anj

eek! Sorry...dyslexic fingers again Chessy. They seem to like typos :(

1:50 pm

miman

Bye all got to put the grandchildren to bed. managed 125 words and will call it a day

1:54 pm

CadFan

Just have to say, the le6/18 would have my Honors English teacher choking on his coffee

2:01 pm

Minski

Thanks Miman & Anj.
Lola100 ~ you are missing an he 4/7. I have 8 of them.

2:01 pm

CadFan

I think I'm off one here - what am I missing?

le4/4x2
le5/10x2
le6/18
lo4/4x5

2:02 pm

Anj

This H is getting verry irritating. I'm going to have to join the 'romdan pyters nona' support group lol

2:05 pm

movieman

I am missing a T...any clues plz?
I have tr5/10, te4/4x2 & te5/10...

2:06 pm

Minski

are there 32 or 33 H words?

2:08 pm

sandypops

yep you are missing lo5x10

2:09 pm

Anj

MInski, there should be 33. I've got he4/7 x 7 but I can't see another...

2:15 pm

Anj

Movieman, it's another te5/10 - wide brimmed felt hat worn in the sub-tropics. Also an area in Nepal.

2:16 pm

lola100

So you'll be at the meeting then Anj? lol!

I'm confused :{ miman said I needed another ha5/16 and then minski said I needed another he4/7 - I only need one more, not two!!!!!!

2:17 pm

Minski

he 4/7s
~ to perceive sound
~to take hold of; sieze
~The barb of a feather used in trimming an artificial fly for angling
~a heron
~A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose
~Used to indicate the one or ones belonging to a person of a certain gender
~no definition
~something made or shaped with an axe is ****

2:19 pm

Minski

I'm confused also as I seem to have one more he than I should but still only have 32 Hs.

2:22 pm

Anj

MInski, your last clue ref axe - you sure that's not a he4/10?

2:24 pm

Minski

I miscounted my he's.
Sorry.
I included my he 4/10 in with my he 4/7s.

2:26 pm

Minski

Sorry for the confusion. Still missing some hs but baby is rather vociferously requesting some attention so have to go.
TTFN

2:26 pm

Anj

No worries Minski...the prime suspect is now a ha5/16 then...? Can't find that either :(

2:29 pm

lola100

Anj, that must mean we are looking for an ha5/16. I have 4:
- a military acronym
- a word that sound like the opposite of love
-male deer
-a word with no def. but is only one letter different from male deer.

Does that help at all?!

2:30 pm

Hugabugs

I have ha5/16x4... should there be 5? If so, I'm completely lost.

2:30 pm

absolute annie

any one got a list of the n's? this is what I got.,..
na5/10
na4/4 x2
ne4/4
ne5/10 x2
ne6/18
ne4/4
no5/10

2:31 pm

TomazianRedfist

33 h's in the form of
h4's x 18
h5's x 12
h6's x 3
currently I'm looking for my last h5

2:31 pm

lola100

ab annie- you need a third ne5/10 :)

2:36 pm

Anj

Cheers Lola...pretty sure Ive got the same as you. The word that is one letter different from the male deer means 'to drag along the ground' or ' the barb of a feather used to making artificial fishing flies'.
The dictionary says it is also spelt 'harle' (yaaaay!) but Enable is having none of that (boooo }-()

2:37 pm

CadFan

and I have 2 ne 4/4's

2:39 pm

lola100

Anj- yup, those are the ones I've got :( Just had to go for chocolate to sooth my frustration :)

2:46 pm

Bugzy

Anj, Lola -- Those are all the H's I have too....

2:47 pm

Chessy

right, just had supper so now have energy to continue the fight!

2:47 pm

TomazianRedfist

whoot I found it, random typing strikes again, it's an ha5/16, that makes ha5/16 x 5

2:49 pm

TomazianRedfist

and that was my last one, time to go find supper :)

2:49 pm

lola100

Tomazian- please don't go without giving us a clue!!!!!!!!!!!

2:51 pm

Anj

Someone's got a wicked side lol.
Reason this...it's a ha5/16 so the ha will acount for 5 points. The other three letters have to be 1 pointers as the 5 count means it's a 2 x score.

2:52 pm

TomazianRedfist

okay well the definition just says " A white person", but it's news to me

2:53 pm

TomazianRedfist

now can I go for supper?!? :) =D

2:55 pm

lola100

Thanks tomazian, but still no closer to finding it :( will you come back and put us out of our miseries after your meal?:)

2:57 pm

Bugzy

Lola - I got that h5/16! :) Think Courtney Love's band with an extra letter thrown in it... Or if you switch the first two letters, an (almost) bad thing to call someone.

2:58 pm

TomazianRedfist

oh looks like it's hawaiian in origin, one of a small stock of Polynesian borrowings into American English. a word common in Hawaii itself but not well known on the American mainland

3:00 pm

lola100

SpriteLynn- you are an angel, THANK YOU! I knew there was a reason I liked courtney love's band!!!! :) :) :)

3:02 pm

CadFan

Someone on an American island might call a white person the ha5/16 word

3:04 pm

Anj

Yaaaay! You're a star SpriteLynn. Welcome to 'romdan pyters nona' :)
I'll have to dig out Celebrity Skin now...

3:04 pm

Bugzy

Thank TomazianRedfist -- I never could have gotten that one on my own! At least with the H's done I can leave work happy -- though still only at 128!

3:15 pm

Minski

I'm back and I got the last H.
Thanks.

3:19 pm

lola100

Right guys, that's me done! Third episode of Lost on tonight so think I'll watch that:) Cheers!

O6/18 - I've got the one that sounds like a bird (but isn't)

A6/18 - I've got the one that's similar to the O that sounds like a bird.

Any hints?? Thanks in advance!

Zade

This one definately seems stranger than usual. Stuck on 110 / 1094 pts.

4:10 pm

Minski

both qus are 5/18 and to be perfectly honest I didn't know they were words. I found them by random typing.

4:11 pm

kebek

there's an o6/18 that is a bird (and a baseball team, i think)

4:12 pm

Chessy

Hi Zade, it's a nightmare. crawled up to 111/1124 but totally stuck - like trying to knit jelly.

4:14 pm

Zade

doogle - en6/18 & le6/18

4:14 pm

cathy22w

Minski - lol.. today I am finding them ALL by random typing!

4:14 pm

Gwen

Doogle, of the 18's you are missing En6/18 - to sign up
Ne6/18 - colorless liquid from orange blossoms
Both Q's are Q5/18

4:15 pm

4:22 pm

kebek

doogle, did you get the other o6/18? it actually is the bird (sing., ends in e...)

4:23 pm

Doogle

Thank you, Kebek!! I was sure that wasn't in there.

4:31 pm

Minski

4:32 pm

Doogle

4:32 pm

kebek

yeah, i'm stuck on the last a's. i need another ar5/10 and ar6/18...can't see them. sigh.

4:32 pm

hardyk112

i know this sounds like a silly question but i've got one of the qu words but i dont understand how it can be 18 point, can anyone explain please?

4:34 pm

elmer

en 5
en 6 (the plural)
I'm missing the other two
el 5/10
e something
I think from the log

4:35 pm

Anj

There's a few missing there Chessy.
ai4/4 - think of a mound of stones used to mark a burial site, but with no view of the 'sea', if u get my drift ;)

4:35 pm

Deeha

kebek think it is one that sounds like a wireless antenna - and the plural

4:37 pm

kebek

also missing 3 s's. here's what i have:
sl4/4
so4/4x6
st5/10
st6/18
anyone? :)

4:37 pm

Anj

hardyk112, the Qu counts as two letters even tho' it's only one tile.
5 letters = double points.

4:38 pm

hardyk112

thanks anj

4:39 pm

Anj

y/w - never heard of either of the Q words tho'!

4:40 pm

kebek

thanks deeha, but i think i have those...

4:40 pm

Doogle

Kebek - the tough one is an ar5/10 with only one consonant.

4:40 pm

Chessy

sure do, thanx Anj

4:42 pm

hardyk112

anybody hav any clues on the 2 qu words, i have one meaning external corner of building

4:42 pm

Doogle

Kebek - You're missing another St5/10, an So5/10, and whatever the one S6/18 I'm missing is.

4:43 pm

Anj

Chessy, there are 3 ar4/4s:
1) place or region
2) warbled in an opera
3) statues, paintings, ming vases, half a cow in formaldehyde (!) ...that sort of thing :)

4:43 pm

kebek

thanks doogle

4:45 pm

hardyk112

ar6/18 think part of the body

4:48 pm

Chessy

thanx again Anj. Why does one always miss the blinding obvious ones! (too busy looking for obscure Hawaiian dialect words). Tho' I think I still need an ar4/7 & ar5/10

4:52 pm

Anj

Chessy: Tell me about it :(
The ar4/7 is a barking laugh, plural
The ar5/10 (assuming you already have the antenna) doesn't have a cowin' definition so let's try your first ar4/4 with added 'e' :)

4:54 pm

kebek

only 2 words left and yet it seems so far...

4:54 pm

Doogle

Done! Man, this one was brutal! Time for me to go shopping for a lightly used life!

4:56 pm

kebek

does anyone know the second letter of the other s6/18 word? (i've got one st)

4:58 pm

Chessy

Anj - u r a star

4:59 pm

sandypops

its another st word

5:01 pm

cathy22w

sandypops - do you have a definition of the other st word?

5:04 pm

sandypops

lower your cholesterol without drugs...sounds a bit like another drug to me

5:04 pm

cathy22w

thanks!

5:06 pm

hardyk112

another qu definition pleasee

5:07 pm

Anj

YOu'rr welcome Chessy. So how's the jelly jumper coming along?? :)

5:08 pm

Chessy

v e r y s l o w l y . . .

5:10 pm

cathy22w

did anyone post a list of how many words along with how many words of eahc particular length?

5:11 pm

sandypops

one of the definitions of qu word is A woman regarded as being disreputable, especially a prostitute

5:12 pm

SunnFlower

hardy; think Elizabeth R for both hope thats not too cryptic. why are so many scrabble words disallowed , I'd have finished hours ago

5:13 pm

Doogle

Cathy - scroll down and you'll see the stats any number of times. The easiest thing to do is paste them into a word processing program and print them out for reference.

5:13 pm

sandypops

another qu word is defined thus:A wedge used to raise the level of a gun.

5:18 pm

cathy22w

yeah... i got the list of the amount of words... but i have noticed on previous games that people have sometimes posted how many of each particular word length.... not to worry... i will continue to scratch my head!! lol

5:20 pm

hardyk112

thanks finally got my 2 qu words they were killin me to get!!

5:20 pm

Jera

What happened to the second letter clue list? I scrolled down but can't find it!

5:24 pm

CATHB

How long do folks spend on this - I can only usually spare an hour or so each night so get nowhere near-only managed 53 words so far but having fun and am certainly addicted.The Sunday mail has a lot to answer for!

5:26 pm

Anj

CathB, I sort of come and go during the day with this. And yes, the MoS has a LOT to answer for hahaha.

Jera, the 2nd letter breakdown hasn't been posted yet.

5:29 pm

Jera

Bummer, only 6 hours to go, brass tacks time for me!

5:32 pm

boober

Good evening from Atlantic Canada -
Hope everyone is doing well tonight

5:35 pm

Jera

Has anyone finished the A's? I'm missong 2

5:37 pm

AnneB

A qu word definition is: croquet played on a hard court surrounded by a bank. By the way, how does anyone know that there are only two qu words?

5:41 pm

Anj

Jera, if you scroll down, I posted a few A clues for Chessy which you may find useful.

5:44 pm

Jera

Thanks, anj, I think I already have those, hard to tell w/o whole list.

5:48 pm

Jera

Need last T, maybe I can complete that letter! I have the bird, crying + plural & the hat

5:50 pm

SunnFlower

I believe the e7/28 could be referred to as a shower in Fangorn?

My apologies. That just struck me while emptying my mind in the shower...

5:52 pm

SunnFlower

not for Richard unfortunately bless him ugh was that a sick thought?

5:53 pm

Anj

Jera, tr5/10 now standing at platform 1 :)

5:56 pm

Anj

Lol Doogle, very esoteric. The Babbletrix has you...

5:56 pm

Jera

Thanks bunches anj you're a doll

6:00 pm

Anj

..only in soft focus, dim light, and from the right angle ;)

6:07 pm

Jera

Hint on last a5... I have the little mermaid

6:07 pm

Jera

That should have been more question-like... I need a hint! :>

6:13 pm

jrs

taking a break from today's fiendish puzzle to wonder who creates them. does anyone know?

6:13 pm

Anj

ah, that one...it's medical-related and doesn't google very well :(
TRy adding an 'e' to your first ar4/4...

6:17 pm

Doogle

jrs - My guess, and that's all it is, is that the puzzles are randomly generated, probably with the various letters having different probabilities of appearing.

6:18 pm

Jera

Thanks... when at wits end, add an S or an E! ;>

6:18 pm

Doogle

Actually, I'd bet that the available letters in each puzzle basically represent a random draw of 25 tiles from the pool of tiles which comes in a game of Scrabble.

6:19 pm

Doogle

Except with Qu instead of Q...

6:21 pm

jrs

Doogle - at first I thought so, too, but can a program be written cleverly enough to also count how many words can be created? And what database is used for the vocabulary - after all, several of these words aren't in the dictionary.

6:26 pm

Doogle

The daily stats aren't generated from the Babble site itself, or by its makers. Apparently there are several sites on the web which have Boggle/Babble solver programs, some written by our fellow gamers, which are used to get the stats. I've yet to see the stats not match the actual list of words found, amazing as that may seem!

6:28 pm

SunnFlower

actually the game is definetely boggle . the only connection with scrabble is the letter value hence the name babble give it a rest guys dont be so pompous!

6:31 pm

Doogle

Say what, Ferrari? What's pompous about pondering the mechanics of the game?

6:33 pm

Dr_God

Doogle is correct about how the puzzles are generated.

6:38 pm

SunnFlower

you sound just like my brother

6:38 pm

SunnFlower

sorry

6:39 pm

Gwen

6:47 pm

9:25 pm

cathy22w

w5/28 = a word beginning with w, 5 letters long and worth 28 points...

9:26 pm

Minski

Elmer
NE 5/10 and its plural are words I've never heard of and don't remember how I found them but here's the definition.

A colorless liquid, C9H17COH, derived from orange blossoms and used in perfumery.

9:26 pm

aggie1ca

I've got that 5 letter w one, cath! Ya wants a hint???

9:26 pm

cathy22w

aggie - nice to see you too! this is my third too... but this is definitely hard! the only trick i see is to try different combinations, and keep your eye on the clues as they come up on the chat thing!

9:27 pm

cathy22w

No thanks aggie.. i do have it,... i was explaining the lingo to jenn!

9:29 pm

Minski

Cathy
the only way to find the 2 IN words is to randomly play with letters. That's how I found them.
...checking for definitions....
I don't know how much they'll help though.
~ A South American freshwater dolphin (Inia Boliviensis). It is ten or twelve feet long, and has a hairy snout.

~ A small, usually ornamented box that is hung from the waist sash of a Japanese kimono and has compartments for holding small objects such as cosmetics, perfumes, or medicines.
