Dr_God

Sorry to Debs40ish and to anyone else that might have been trying to upgrade for the past few hours. I accidentally screwed up the ordering page, but I fixed the problem, so feel free to upgrade, anyone. :)

12:19 am

Debs40ish

Cheers Dr.. I'll try again... :)

12:19 am

wilson27fan

finding several words in this grid that was in yesterday's :))

12:21 am

Hugabugs

Debs40ish - what was that 6/18? And are there 2 H6/30's?

12:23 am

cbr1965

I 6/21

12:23 am

rolin

can some one explain how the stats setting out works ls...i understand white boxes grey boxes...but why are some letters listed twice...is it to do with the no. of letters...? is the first row 4 letter words?

12:23 am

Debs40ish

s6/18 ermm no only one h6/30...

12:23 am

Dr_God

rolin-

Click the help link at the bottom of the stats panel.

12:24 am

Debs40ish

Cheers Dr... It's worked... <<is now a pro... ermm so to speak...lol

12:24 am

cbr1965

Rolin - it is the letter grid and the number of words that start from that letter - look below the grid, there is a help link for the stats

12:24 am

wilson27fan

Dr_God why is chat going in twice?

12:24 am

Debs40ish

Cos there is an echo!!!

12:25 am

Dr_God

wilson27fan-

It's a glitch that I have to iron out. It's just showing up twice - not posting twice. Reload the page, and it will go away.

12:26 am

wilson27fan

K thanks i thought maybe it was my PC :))

12:27 am

rolin

dr god..yup..i knew all that...but i didnt see why letters are listed twice... is it to do with word length ..like today...'e' is listed 3 times..does that indicate 4, 5 & 6 letters words?

12:27 am

wilson27fan

hum reload just moved one to the bottom and 1 to the top.
Can we all get flags or just pro-babblers?

12:28 am

Dr_God

rolin-

Each tile in the stats represents the same tile on the puzzle board. Sometimes the same letter appears more than once in the puzzle.

12:28 am

Dr_God

wilson27fan-

Just Pro Babblers can have flags.

12:28 am

rolin

oooooooooooooooooooohhhh....ty..*s*

12:29 am

wilson27fan

Looks like I need to apply for a credit card :)) LOL

12:29 am

rolin

oooh well thats EXCELLENT help...very cool dr god..

12:32 am

wilson27fan

It's 1:30am here , guess Im a babble addict but have to get up early to take son to football pratice,so Im off for tonight.Happy Babbling All!!! :))

12:32 am

Debs40ish

Nite Wilson... sweet dreams

12:33 am

jaydee

Am I the only one with this flag?

12:33 am

Dr_God

jaydee-

I think so.

12:35 am

jaydee

Bit lonely,but I always did like to be different!

12:35 am

cbr1965

what flag is it? They are kind of tiny

12:35 am

Blaze

I can hardly see the flag... what country is it for ?

12:36 am

jaydee

Israel.

12:37 am

cbr1965

Cool - I almost guessed that but couldn't really see the Star of David well enough to know that's what it was

12:37 am

rolin

dr god..how does the system decide which tile a word comes from cos with the 'e' tiles on the top...certain words could be made using either letter

12:40 am

cat2

so... how many words in this puzzle?

12:40 am

Dr_God

The stats machine uses the first tile it comes across if a word exists more than once in the puzzle. And rows take precedence from top to bottom, and columns take precedence from left to right. So tile row2col5 would be used instead of row3col1 if they both had the same word start from them. I hope that made sense. ;)

12:40 am

cbr1965

85 words in puzzle

12:40 am

rolin

yeah it does...very very cool...

12:40 am

Debs40ish

1:00 am

Hugabugs

a4/6 - Used as a disparaging term for an Australian Aborigine.

1:01 am

rolin

OMG huggie... they allow that???...ty btw...

1:01 am

jaydee

thanks hugabug,now I have the 2 a's

1:02 am

Hugabugs

I find it amazing some of the words they allow, but words are words, and they don't diferentiate between the meanings.

1:03 am

jaydee

so why cant I have soba (as in noodle)?

1:05 am

Blaze

I think it is spelled slightly different ??

1:09 am

cbr1965

1:14 am

cbr1965

I must not have the offensive a word - any other clues?

1:15 am

Hugabugs

I was just about to post about the b6/33. Never been too fond of it myself, though.

1:15 am

cat2

had never heard it before

1:15 am

cbr1965

Me either but it sounds like what it tastes like!

1:16 am

Hugabugs

It's quite popular here with so many Ukrainian and Polish decendants... many put sour cream in it

1:17 am

cbr1965

I'll pass but I could eat the sour cream plain though!

4:55 am

Atalante

A stats question - why do some letters have more than 1 stats box? Are there separate boxes for 4,5,6 etc letter words?

4:57 am

cat2

atalante ...if i understood prev posts, it is becuz the letter occurs more than once in the grid, ie the letter occurs 3 times so has 3 boxes... i think

4:57 am

Blaze

Atalante Dr_G answered that very question at 12:28 and 12:40 on this chat log...

4:58 am

Atalante

ohhhhhhhh right! I would never have thought of that! So each box is the no of letters coming off that particular A or E or whatever. Huh - clever!

4:59 am

Atalante

well, for once for many months of playing Babble, I haven't looked back at the whole stats log :P

just-jo, it's another ha5/18. I'm guessing you will have the 'dislike intensely' so it's the Shakespearian possesive.
Go anti-clockwise around the H from the A :)

Babble does that to you lol

ta6/18 - scottish spuds (as in neeps'n' t......) sounds like worn, soiled, dog-eared...
ta6/21 - made lace fashioned by looping and knotting a single strand of heavy-duty thread on a small hand shuttle - sort of past tense for the 6/18
ta6/21 - made tighter (past tense of last ta4/4)
te6/21 - past tense of te4/4

dazza, think of the simpsons barkeeper.

2:27 pm

old style cartoon, little blue teardrop characters, the original goody-two-shoes. Now drop the last vowel. also a variant of a jewish/yiddish word for useless incompetent idiot.

2:28 pm

speedfreak

Zoom you are missing da 6/21 just add different ending to the da 4/5 or the da 6/24 it is 2 vowels

2:38 pm

brandyjack

well, you got the yiddish word right, this is a slight variant , probably not even yiddish. doesn't carry quite the weight of scorn, more of the forlorn hopeless fool type. Ah right, is Polish your native language? If so, then you may never have encountered this one.

Anj - I NEVER said I saw them. Just remember them from my grandads knee. not going to date myself that badly. Although I think they did show up on some of the newer Flintstones cartoons in the mid 80's. Wife is a Flintstones fanatic. I agree with lianakate though, TV is for the birds and people who like being abused.

2:38 pm

Any clues on the i`s please?????

2:39 pm

cbr1965

What you seek when you brainstorm is the i4

2:40 pm

some people never have an original i... in their lives. The i6/21 is the verb of the same word.

i have 2 clues from the Iron maiden ref..but I did it by monkey typing..i dont think i know a single tune by the Iron Maiden..bless her lil pooper...

2:59 pm

Julie

Hah. Me neither. Got the Iron Maiden clue from a2zwordfinder. I've never heard of those words.

3:01 pm

lianakate

aha..ty BJ..i guess i am missing the DA 6..since i only have the iron maiden one..I shall begin anew with the monkey typing..(rolling eyes)

3:05 pm

Anj

Lianakate, the root is your 3rd da4/5. The da6s are the past tense and the adverb (..?) of that word. I can't find definitions, hence the Iron Maiden word association clue.

3:05 pm

Charm

Brandyjack, I think I love you....

3:06 pm

csa : but what are you so afraid of....

3:07 pm

I'm afraid that's as far as my memory of "Wild Thing" goes - old ages, I'm afraid.

3:11 pm

GingerUK

anyone got a list of e's? I am missing one. For those on pro... it's one of the ones that run from the 2nd E on the top row (from left)... thanks

3:15 pm

Anj

Ginger, that makes the choices:

ea4/4 - scoffs
ea4/7 - 'ampstead in London
et4/7 - Ss (with a lisp)

3:16 pm

lianakate

hmmm..i will try typing the ..IM thing again..also, for the FLINTSTONE fan..i happen to live in a very small place called....FLINTSTONE..We have a gas station, a Dollar General, an ACE hardware...small local eatery..AND 7 churches..and yes, its in the south..(am a misplaced Michigander)

3:18 pm

lianakate

so, ANJ..that makes 4 of the Iron Maiden word?..I have 3

3:18 pm

GingerUK

I have them 3 Anj... on my stats grid it is the e that only has one word to make from it

3:19 pm

Anj

Three's just fine lianakate :)

3:19 pm

kristin

Ok I got one da6/21 still need the other one and a da6/24 - hints please

3:20 pm

Anj

Sorry Ginger, it's Saturday and my mind is distressingly free of alcohol :( it's an ed4/5 - proofread

3:21 pm

sandbox74

the da6/24 is the past tense of a da4/5

3:22 pm

lianakate

I found the D..def..it means to fondle..so, the Iron Maiden isnt so iron after all..(what a slut)..LMAO

3:22 pm

GingerUK

Thanks Anj... that will teach me, been looking at that all day and thought I'd already typed it so didn't bother again... strangely enough I never checked to see I'd got it either!!!!!!

3:23 pm

Anj

Yay! That clue was sponsored by Lindeman's Kriek :D

3:24 pm

lianakate

wow..you brits are either drinking tea..or scurrying off to pubs for a pint, eh?..(is that what REDBULL is?)

3:25 pm

Anj

Redbull is rocket fuel for the mind. I stay well clear of that. No, just enjoying a quiet night in for once with a cold one.

3:28 pm

lianakate

now I have to find..2 5 letter words, and 8 4 letter words. I begin by typing every word i have ever heard of ..and go on from there..its not a very organized thing to do..i end up in a mess...every time. (sighing ..LOUDLY)

4:21 pm

oggy

can anyone help with the i words

4:21 pm

Haz1558

The ha 5 you're looking for is an archaic rendering of the second person singular past tense of 'have'. Think how Shakespeare would say ' you had'.

4:21 pm

allstar

kristin-yes a word with no score

4:23 pm

kristin

allstar all it is doing is not totaling your score, but you are still getting the credits, you just can't see them. Hopefully Dr God is online and can check this out for you.

4:45 pm

Voyce100

4:53 pm

Haz1558

Voyce100, when you've finished cavorting maybe you could drop a few hints my way. I have two words left to find. The first is an ha4 - I have 'dislike', an anagram of 'dislike', 'headwear' and the masculine French adjective for high.

Also need a ta4. I have the gallery people, the lace one and the description of someone's face that has been operated on too many times. Help, please so that I can go to bed before midnight for once!

5:20 pm

Haz1558

Da6/21. Second syllable is neckwear for men. First syllable sounds like the start of the word for female child. The word looks like it shouldn't exist but babble has accepted it.

5:23 pm

Haz1558

Lbdawger. Look at my 4.21 and 4.30 postings for help.

Until I fix things, don't bother adding words. You'll just frustrate yourselves, everyone. ;)

5:54 pm

Jera

Oops, I spoke too soon, when I refreshed I lost new words completely (that had previously not had value assined to them).

5:55 pm

Okay, it's accepting words even invalid ones, then not giving point value to any (even good ones). Weird.

5:55 pm

gaily, yes it is. And I am still able to enter words, just have no point value next to them. Try it.

6:10 pm

Dr_God

Ok, folks. I've "exorcised the demon!" as Jim Carrey would say. Reload your pages, and everything should be fine.

6:10 pm

But it's accepting any & everything even "invalid" words. I'm back to pen & paper til all clear.

6:11 pm

Jera

YAY! ty, Dr God

6:12 pm

Dr_God

The "add word" bug kinda took the wind out of my sails, but I did just add a new feature to the site - player profiles.

If you click the "My Profile" link you can set up optional personal profiles now. And if you set one up, a little icon will appear next to your name in the chat log, and other players can click on it and read your profile.

6:17 pm

gaily

periwinkle - are your new words still in the list? although babble was accepting them as valid when you refresh they disappear. still can't find ad5. am i thick or what?

6:18 pm

Dr_God

BTW- The profile feature is for Pro players only.

6:18 pm

Jera

gaily, do your point math, that's how I figured out a word that makes zero sense to me....

6:18 pm

periwinkle

No, I had to add my new words again. But I am having a problem. Some of the words that were on my list earlier, without a point value are not showing up when I retype them>

6:19 pm

Jera

Maybe they are invalid? My invalid ones disappeared too

6:20 pm

periwinkle

I have ad5/18 and ab4/6. What am I missing?

6:20 pm

gaily

periwinkle - maybe because they weren't valid words

6:21 pm

aw 4/7

6:23 pm

Is the O word an acronym? If so, it was accepted earlier when no points were showing up but it won't accept it now.

Thanks, gaily. Got the last A

6:25 pm

gaily

thanks periwinkle-got my last a too. don't know whether o is an acronym but try woodwind instruments without the 2nd o

A new game starts in 28 minutes and lasts for 24 hours. You have to play three times to get a ranking.
People will help you-We don't seem to be horribly competitive---- It's us against the puzzle.
