I think folk are missing a no4 worth 4 points. It's a color in one language and a genre in ours.

11:07 am

EvaNadine

Na4/7
Na5/10
Na5/16 x2

11:15 am

GingerUK

any clue on no5 /10??

11:17 am

Bugzy

Or na6/20?

11:19 am

Charm

Could it be a Na6/21?

11:19 am

EvaNadine

Na6/20: "An often fatal disease of African ungulates caused by various species of trypanosomes and transmitted by the bite of the tsetse fly"

11:20 am

EvaNadine

yes, sorry, its Na6/21

11:20 am

EvaNadine

No5/10:
"A water wheel with buckets attached to its rim, used to raise water from a stream, especially for transfer to an irrigation channel"

11:21 am

Charm

Double check for me that the Na6 (described below) adds up to 21 and not 20?

11:22 am

Charm

Ooops, thanks. T - y - p - i - n - g v - e -r - y s - l - o - w - l - y.

11:23 am

GingerUK

CSA yes it adds up to 21

11:26 am

Rhiannon

Jera - where does your daughter fence? i fence in dublin but i figure its prob. not the same place!

11:32 am

Doogle

The 20-pointer is an Na5. A six-letter word could not add up to 20, as scores for all six-letter words must be divisible by 3.

11:35 am

rolin

EvaNadine

12:21 pm

mtnjock

12:22 pm

EvaNadine

mtnjock, scroll down

12:23 pm

CadFan

Are both i's i4/4?

12:24 pm

12:26 pm

Judi

Nothing seems to work for the 2nd i4-4. I have the metallic one, need the 2nd one. Any clue?

12:26 pm

mtnjock

or am I off base?

12:27 pm

Anj

Jera, think Village People. Sounds like 'In the N....!'
There goes my cred :(

12:28 pm

Doogle

Judi - same four letters...

12:28 pm

ScoutsMom

mtnjock, you're always off base.

12:29 pm

mtnjock

only at first ScoutsMom and its in the air.

12:31 pm

EvaNadine

close mtnjock, but not quite

12:31 pm

mtnjock

12:32 pm

Judi

Oy vay! Now I'm stuck on the O word. Any clues?

12:34 pm

EvaNadine

12:53 pm

Jera

24 words left is a respectable time for a break... I will be back after a little nap (maybe it will refresh my poor brain). Thanks to all who tried to help me!

12:53 pm

EvaNadine

jera, the best thing to do it just try to be familiar with different prefixes, suffixes and more common spellings in latin + greek....things like "ae" and plurals ending in i or e are common in babble...

12:53 pm

mtnjock

heres a hint for you green eyes, I am at work while visiting this website, I really should be ________ something else.

12:54 pm

green eyes

mntjock..that one i have,.,but did i read there are 11 more starting with (d)?

1:13 pm

Judi

Oh, duh. I thought there was 5 U's. Only 4. As the U4-5 is a proper (albeit "Basque") name, how is it allowed? I thought names were verbotten.

1:13 pm

Anj

Judi, the root of your u7/36 :)

1:13 pm

EvaNadine

judi -- U4/5 goes with your U7

1:14 pm

1:14 pm

EvaNadine

judi -- i think it is a word, it just also happens to be a name as well (and i only know that because its my nephews middle name!)

1:15 pm

Judi

Ah, the U4 is also a variant spelling for a type of sloth.

1:15 pm

Mo-- soz for delayed reply. was skype chatting with a mate. I deserted the north years ago, when nothing was going on and jobs were thin on the ground. Now, it's sooo different, I know! But I don't recognise it anymore! I don't know my way round!

3:56 pm

sherb

mo, I hate to disillusion you, but Notts is not the north...even Middlesbrough is considered suspiciously southerly by some of my Geordie friends :)

3:56 pm

Mary

Got it Shreb, again, many thanx.

3:57 pm

Babbler

Notts? I thought that was midlands or something?? I'm from sunny Lancashire!!!!! : D

4:37 pm

mtnjock

Ginger, its defined as:
To complain in a whining voice.
To contort one's face; grimace.

4:37 pm

brandyjack

that was one of the first 5 words i found..........

4:38 pm

GingerUK

LOL I must be sleepy today!

4:38 pm

Babbler

congrats Ginger! I've been playing all evening and am only at 57 words. : C Nuff respect! (or whatever the expression is!)

4:42 pm

brandyjack

4:43 pm

Chip

you know, in the old days people as dumb as me were locked up....

4:43 pm

Chip

4:44 pm

Babbler

4:45 pm

Chip

oh, they know where I am, I think they're just enjoying the show

4:45 pm

brandyjack

but this is the new generation where we are not allowed to infringe on your freedoms and we have to find ways to make you restrain yourself. like babble....

4:45 pm

mtnjock

Chip, if I do something to the extreme they would call me a maniac. So if I went to orgies a lot, what would they call me (and there is no definition for the word on line or I would have given it)

4:46 pm

Babbler

I was only playing! I'm at 57 words and I've bombed! I cannae do no more! Someone give me permission to stop!

4:47 pm

sherb

Babbler, you can stop...me too, nite nite and good luck all..:)

Chris P, the du7/46 is loose packing material to protect cargo on voyage, the un6/27 means to set free - the opposite of one of the c4 words.

5:21 pm

Anj

That na6/21 is a disease of African ungulates (that meas hoofs to u & me) carried by the tsetse fly. Run 'tsetse disease' past the Google Fairy ;)

Du4 (not the one that sounds like a mild oath, or the one that means a blow)
Du6 (not while)
Du7

8:11 pm

jackandtrevor

Du _ _ sounds like a prefix for hard...rhymes with Euro

8:12 pm

swmbo

GOT IT!!!

8:13 pm

mab

for du 7, add suffix to mild oath-sounding du4.

8:14 pm

jackandtrevor

Du 7 "Loose packing material used to protect a ship's cargo from damage during transport."

8:16 pm

tbear

swmbo...our word begins with a d......so not subtle at this time of night

8:17 pm

8:23 pm

swmbo

Got the du7, thank you all so much.

6 words to go: 2 du6's, a gi4, a gi5, and a ta4 and one other...

8:24 pm

swmbo

No, only 5...

8:27 pm

jackandtrevor

One gi5 is a huge human maybe 10 feet tall or the name of a football team...I'm a female, but I think they're out of New York..and it rhymes with science...( in a way)

8:29 pm

jackandtrevor

The plural of the huge humans rhymes with science in a way..am I helping or hurting? I'm getting cross eyed looking at these little letters and numbers...

8:30 pm

jackandtrevor

Anyone know why I'm getting double comments?

8:32 pm

swmbo

Again thanks!!!

I am given to believe that another gi5 exists that is NOT a large person. Is this a true fact? or an urban myth...

:)

8:33 pm

jackandtrevor

yes, Gee (steel) or G (tool to press clothing) rhymes with siren...

8:35 pm

Poor jackand trevor! YOu are getting tired and you also have a husband to appease do you not? Hie thee to thy marital pallet and, well do what ever seems best...

And thank you!!!

8:38 pm

8:48 pm

jackandtrevor

One du 6 is 21 the other 24 and all you have to do is figure out one, then change the second to the last letter to an alternate vowel to get an alternate spelling...

rhymes with hurryin' which you must be doing as it's getting late...

8:49 pm

mab

Yesterday the puzzle was happy to take "yids" while today it will not take "glat." To quote brandyjack, stupid puzzle.

8:49 pm

8:52 pm

jackandtrevor

Ok - I'm turning in..Swmbo has been called away I think...last call for a clue...

8:55 pm

jackandtrevor

I need to correct myself..there are two Du 6 21 - very similar except one letter ( 2nd to last) The "while" DU is 24 points..obviously I should go now...night all

cbr, regarding your o, if you are a maniac for wild sex parties, perhaps you could be called one of these.

Oh, and someone please help! I've only got the du/5 left -- may I have a clue?

Think about a "nice Hawaiian _____" and change the first letter - or something you would drink at a kid's party and change the first letter

Awesome - thanks melissamay! I finally got the O too - I had tried every combination, or so I thought!

11:40 pm

Dianne

melissamay, I must be brain dead - I'm not getting anything on those 3 N words. I've tried to respell the bread word every which way but zilch. And as for as the fsickness and the floating go...UGH.
