now to find the definition for it

Dove is a transient visiter of the Keys of East Florida

12:21 am

Doogle

Jacula, Brandyjack, et al. - My complaint about easy clues wasn't directed at either of you, or any of the regulars at this bar for that matter. It seems that most of this sort of clue is coming at other times of the day. I don't really fret about it too much, and simply hide the log during times when the flow is a little heavy.

12:22 am

tedybeth

the llittle ? box doesn't give a def. for the z7 word .... will try another place.

12:23 am

brandyjack

Tedybeth, I gave the definiton. took a while to find it.

12:27 am

tedybeth

yes, mourning dove ---- and lots of belly dancers with the same name!! LOL

I like it best when we post clue for the larger words --- the 4 & 5 letter ones are easier to 'noodle' ... but that's just my opinion ...

12:42 am

brandyjack

Debs40ish is yours really I7/28 or is it L7/28? Ice Boy has an I7/48 and my sneak preview list says there is only one 7 letter I (eye) word.

12:42 am

Debs40ish

Sorry I meant L7..oops....

12:43 am

IceBoySF

L7/28

12:48 am

rustola

39 words, dunno what all yr abbrs mean... not bad for the first time, i guess... great game!

12:53 am

brandyjack

L7/28 means it starts with L, is 7 letters long and scores 28 points. Score is determined by the size of the word -3, x the count on the letters themselves. so would be 4 * 7 in this case.

12:55 am

brandyjack

L6/27
L7/40

12:59 am

Anj- do you know which t's you are missing?

3:20 pm

mtnjock

trade you a P clue Anj for help with the In7

3:20 pm

Jen

mtnjock, take your 5/14 and make it an adverb.

3:23 pm

Anj

mtnjock, the i7 is an extension of your i5/14 :) That's a freebie as i've got all the Ps now. Ts, however...

3:24 pm

Judi

I think I read earlier that there was an L7-28. If so, I need a clue, because I can't figure that sucker out at all.

Both these words are used three times in succession to introduce the opening of a court of law.

4:02 pm

lola100

Oh1 and you too Jera :)

4:03 pm

Anj

No, there's no def for the te5/20 - it seems to be a misspelling of the 3/4 legged table used for holding ye olde colonial ritual of tea & sticky bun (which would be a te6/33 if it was in this puzzle ) :)

4:06 pm

lola100

Hi mu! there is a pe6/33: a mexican cactus, but no pe6/30 :)

Help! I'm missing a te6. Not the band one.

4:31 pm

Anj

Hi smithchick, there are two 'band' ones, the second has a different last letter. The other te6 is a plural of the te5/20 - see my 4:03pm clue of you haven't got that one yet :)

4:35 pm

Jera

If only German numbers counted here...

4:37 pm

speedfreak

Is there a reason why we are listing all the letter combinations, can't we just go by the amount of words we are looking for kind of ruins the fun of looking.

4:41 pm

Jera

When people ask for hints, others are kind enough to give them. Some people are trying to complete puzzle before bedtime... not just the "fun" of first finding of words.

4:43 pm

Jera

I'll stop if it's annoying... about ready to pack it in anyway, at least for a few hours. I might come back after kids are in bed.

4:44 pm

Munner

speedfresk, you can hide the log if you don't want to see the hints :)

4:55 pm

smithchick

A belated thanks, anj, I had to step away for a little bit.

5:00 pm

smithchick

Okay, I've been at this off and on all day. I must get a life. I still haven't figured out the te6. I have one that is a plural of the te5.

5:59 pm

SunnFlower

6:03 pm

swmbo

6:05 pm

kolding

Well, Blue Cheer was fairly grungy, back in the day.....

6:06 pm

Gwen

ey4 A nestling hawk or falcon, especially one to be trained for falconry. The other one is the same letters as the obsolete ocular one, but rearranged

6:08 pm
