Now see I would LOVE to do all that, jam in the gravy, julienne parsnips (i love 'em with paremsan) etc, but the other 'alf is VERY fussy about his food. Only likes meat and two veg - literally, peas and carrots! And he doesn't like dessert, so no apple and blackberry crumble for me :-(

7:40 am

tbear

7:41 am

Denny

...always thinking about food! am cooking and playing so am in and out....serious multi tasking:-D

This one will put me out of action too. But it'll be about 7 hours before that happens. In the meantime, anything that serves as a distraction is welcome. This puzzle promises to be a bigger pain for a short while at least.

brandyjack, thanks for the early breakdown, sure is going to help today. Hope your headache is better.

10:31 am

cathy22w

ginger - i actually pondered it on the board a few days ago too! it would be good to have a version where oyu plug the words in, and it updates when you connect it to a computer

10:32 am

Jen

Thanks FMitch! Just the shove I needed! :)

10:32 am

GingerUK

sounds good Cathy... fortunately my PDA is WiFi so I can play real time at home or where there is a hotspot.

10:33 am

brandyjack

I have an old Ipaq 3850 and a Dell X5, both of which are extremely hard on batteries when wireless. Planning on buying a new Dell Xv50 as soon as one shows up in the pawn shop. They are much nicer than the old ones and the built in wireless is easier on the battery.

10:33 am

cathy22w

i suppose i would get wifi if it were worth my while!

10:33 am

cbr1965

MIne is wireless too - Babble doesn't download right though - it would be nice to have it on my phone/PDA but I wonder how truly slow it would be

10:34 am

cathy22w

i have a dell x3 - i love it

10:34 am

cbr1965

Thanks brandyjack - let's see if I can count correctly today!

10:35 am

I've been playing for a few weeks now and I must say, I'm out of my league with all of you. I've been busting my hump all day and only have 168 out of 373. I never realized how lax my vocab skills are and it's really depressing. :D

6:59 pm

snowyowl

suebhoney - you are not alone really! I struggle most of the time and have only ever finished one. But as they say its the taking part that counts.

7:00 pm

Jax

Suebhoney - you are definately not alone. But also you learn that certain words repeat and that makes it somewhat easier.

7:01 pm

sfneil

I have one ni4 -- things some people pick. Any clues to the other ni4 and the ni5?

7:02 pm

suebhoney

Awww, thanks for the kind support. I certainly didn't mean that my disappointment in myself would lead me to stop trying. I'm always up for a good challenge.

This one took me all day, between reading the paper, going to the zoo, playing with the dog, feeding the hubby, looking after the Monster Baby.... Ah, this moment of sweetest satisfaction!

Even better is that the night is young enough to poke my head into a book and even check out some OTHER websites....

I am strugling with the last lo5. I have what is defined as a city in Utah, a 4th lunge in fencing, and yearns. Could I have a clue for the 4th lo?

9:50 pm

sfneil

fit your last lo5 is defined as "fishes having large mouths with a wormlike filament attached for luring prey"

it's spelled like a state-run gambling game with a different last vowel

9:51 pm

sfneil

I am not seeing the li7. Help, please?

9:53 pm

Cmith

Could anyone provide clues for the ai 5/10
and the na 7/28. Please

9:55 pm

cbr1965

ai5/10 is a kind of sauce - often it is lemon flavored -

9:56 pm

cbr1965

na7/28 is the plural of Captain Nemo's ship - it ends in a vowel

9:57 pm

cbr1965

this is official ai/5 definition : rich sauce of crushed garlic, egg yolks, lemon juice, and olive oil

9:58 pm

sfneil

ai5 contains only one consonant

CBR how are you today??.....I am back here to play some more and await the new puzzle.

10:04 pm

Cmith

Thanks cbr 1965 and sfneil. Got them.
I think I should have started a little earlier. I read the chat for the turpentine definition of the ga8/55 but it is still eluding me. Got another clue?

10:05 pm

cbr1965

Hi Blaze - I'm doing well - haven't played much today which doesn't bode well for my ultimate score in this huge puzzle - soccer games and birthday parties kind of consumed my day - how was your weekend?

10:06 pm

sfneil

ga8 is plural of ga7/40, if you've got that

10:06 pm

cbr1965

Csmith - I think that is the only 9 I don't have yet and I did try to find it earlier in the day but not again tonight

10:07 pm

onyx

Blaze

10:26 pm

Cmith

Sorry, cbr 1965 but the g8/55 and g7/40 are eluding me.
Any hint for the an 7/40?

10:29 pm

sfneil

Somehow, though, I am missing a pi7. I have the one that is the plural of things stacking up, any lead on the other?

10:29 pm

cbr1965

I would give it to you if I had it - I'm only at 225 words tonight so far

10:29 pm

cbr1965

Do you have the gun-related pi7?

10:30 pm

sfneil

That was exaly what I needed! Thanks so much cbr!

10:33 pm

cbr1965

an7/40 is a form of the an5/10

10:35 pm

Cmith

thanks cbr 1965
and I had the p's already

10:36 pm

cbr1965

I am so confused - I need to reread before sending to make sure I answer the right person!

10:37 pm

Blaze

cbr I always appreciate your clear clues...... I do know what you mean about confusing... you can sometimes have several posts at the same time and they do get confusing..... I try to indicate who the answer is for.... (try being the key word)

10:38 pm

sfneil

Happens to me, too cbr. Between trying to solve the puzzle and keeping up with chat/clues, it gets confusing!

Right now I'm missing exactly one l, don't have the brainpower to go back and count to figure out what's missing, but am not willing to give up with only 23 words to go!

10:39 pm

cbr1965

Do you know the count of the one you are missing or the second letter?

10:40 pm

Blaze

sfneil good for you.... I have only cracked 137 words and just plodding on....

10:40 pm

cbr1965

It is hard when it is a few at a time but I am going to try to put the correct name on each post!

10:41 pm

Cmith

cbr - we really appreciate the assistance. Don't beat yourself up.

10:43 pm

Blaze

10:46 pm

sfneil

Okay if I haven't gone completely insane, it looks like my missing l is an la5. I have the one t is the plural of what you find in bowling alleys or on freeways. Any hints to the other?

10:46 pm

Blaze

think new years...... Olde L Syne

10:47 pm

cbr1965

la5/16 is All those persons who are not members of a given profession or other specialized field. I thi

10:54 pm

Blaze

OOOPs hope is well and stays safe....

10:54 pm

lianakate

10:58 pm

lianakate

10:58 pm

cbr1965

There is only one to8

10:59 pm

cbr1965

HI lianakate - I only have 231 so we are about even! As usual it is the 4-letter ones I have trouble with!

11:01 pm

broll

There are 3 x sp8/55. I had the rod one, added a similar sounding one (different vowel), and still need a 3rd. Anyone?

11:06 pm

melissamay

Confused here -- I have a sp7/40 that's a wooden support but don't see how to make it plural. Can anyone provide further definition for the sp8?

11:06 pm

lianakate

any clues for the 9 letter word..with the PI..i have the limestone one..

11:07 pm

cbr1965

If you'll tell give me clues to the base word I'll help make it plural!

11:07 pm

cbr1965

look at my 10:25 clue lianakate

11:08 pm

cbr1965

Sorry - wrong Pi - the one you need has to do with a gun - with a common ending

11:09 pm

melissamay

The sp7 I have has the def. "A post used as a foundation; a pile." Is there a different base for the sp8? I have the one that's rotten food but no others!

11:09 pm

Blaze

thanks CBR and Lianakate

11:09 pm

lianakate

i have every gun word i can see!! lol
Is there a 9 letter one?

11:11 pm

Blaze

11:11 pm

cbr1965

11:11 pm

lianakate

ahhhhhhhh..i hadnt pluralized my limestone..thought i had..ty, CB

11:14 pm

sfneil

hi7 and hi8? I'm not seeing it.

11:14 pm

cbr1965

melissamay - It must be an entirely diff word - I will look for it

11:14 pm

lianakate

I am falling further down in the rankings with my games..ack. I just get too tired to play!

11:14 pm

cbr1965

sfneil - try this - Any of several small, basic proteins most commonly found in association with the DNA in the chromatin of eukaryotes

11:15 pm

Blaze

I have cracked 153 words and now off for decandent chocolatte cake before the next puzzle starts... this one have driven me to chocolate....and I think my keyboard has developed a squeak....

11:15 pm

melissamay

cbr1965, thanks. Apparently there's 3 sp8s and I only have one (rotten food) and can't for the life of me see the others!

11:17 pm

sfneil

cbr thanks once again! If you ever come to San Francisco, I'll buy you dinner. Restaurant of your choice.

11:18 pm

cbr1965

Melissamay - I got an sp 8/55 that is very smiliar to the word you just helped me with - ei vowel combination with an ing

11:18 pm

mzhokie

the 11th st 5 is killing me.... I have st 5 10 x 7, st 5 12 x 2 and st 5 14 x 1.... any clue what I'm missing?

11:19 pm

cbr1965

sfneil - maybe I'll take you up on that! Have a good one!

11:19 pm

melissamay

Thanks cbr! I just found that (weirdly misspelled) one too, so we only have the one pesky sp8 to go...

11:20 pm

sfneil

mzhokie, I'm kind of frantic to finish, so don't have time to do the research, but be aware there are no less than 3 st5s that start and end with the same consonants, only the middle vowel changes.

11:21 pm

broll

melissamy: thx, you gave me my 3rd. Now put a different ending on the one you have. 3rd for you - base word variant of "climb" - think caver, shortened

11:26 pm

cbr1965

broll - I'm missing the same one as melissamay and I am unsure which word you are talking about to start with - I know what a caver is called and still can't figure it out - could you be a little more specific about which word to start with?

11:26 pm

mzhokie

sfneil, thanks but I have thos already.... it's my last word so if I can give you any help let me know.

11:28 pm

sfneil

gosh, mzhokie, you have a better chance than me! I'm checking my st's now.

11:29 pm

cbr1965

mz hokie - do you have the one that is all vowels after the st

11:30 pm

mzhokie

yup.... I might just give up, I've been guessing for a while now so I have no idea what I have tried and haven't

11:32 pm

melissamay

broll, I'm not seeing the third sp8 either, sorry.

11:32 pm

mzhokie

all 3 sp8's are variations of sp5's that you have... it's a misspelling so there is no real definition on one of them

11:32 pm

cbr1965

take the time to tell us what you have and one of us probably has it - they are mostly common (the ones I have anyway) so it's hard to tell what you are missing

11:32 pm

sfneil

You are missing an st6/21 and an st7/32. they are like the bee bites with an extra vowel at the end. the longer one is a regular plural of the shorter one.

11:33 pm

Dianne

Hi All - I am soooo far behind so I am just trying to finish up the 7s. Any really good clues for two PO7 (not fabric) and the li7? Need help badly :(

11:34 pm

mzhokie

sfneil.... are there 11 st 5's? I thought someone said that was the one missing from the double letter list.

11:35 pm

cbr1965

I think I saw that earlier too - there are a total of 65 S words

11:37 pm

broll

cbr and mel: take the first 4 letters of the caver and throw in a vowel for the base word.

11:37 pm

cbr1965

Hi Dianne - I don't have the Po but the li7 means to be a go-between

11:37 pm

sfneil

Oh crap, mzhokie, I think I misunderstood. Yes, there are 11 st5s, if you look below I gave definitions for all of them in some succesive (but close-together) posts

11:37 pm

mzhokie

po 7/36 - a form of irish whiskey
po 7/26 - a person who does po 4/6

11:40 pm

Dianne

mzhokie - thanks. Got the one heaping but the booze isn't getting me (ha ha). Your cat is beautiful:)

11:43 pm

cbr1965

broll - I think we have that one already - the sp8 - if I am doing what you suggest correctly

11:46 pm

sfneil

thanks mzhokie for the p7/36. can't find the other one.

11:46 pm

melissamay

cbr, agreed. I have rotten food sp8 and misspelt root sp5/ with gerund sp8, but there is a third I just can't see.

11:47 pm

lianakate

i cannot find the irish whiskey..ack.
I thought poteen..but it doesnt fit.

11:48 pm

broll

ok, mix up the vowels of a circus barker's pitch

11:48 pm

sfneil

lianakate, double your inner consonant!

11:48 pm

Dianne

broll sp8s - rotten food, blabbing and rotten plus how old you are.

11:49 pm

melissamay

Dianne, THANKS. I was missing the second spoiled food sp8!

11:49 pm

Dianne

liana - add another letter to what you worte - you'll have it!

11:49 pm

broll

2 base words are rodless one, other caver start with extra vowel

11:51 pm

lianakate

omg..i cannot hold my eyes open..Ty, all..for trying to help me.!!

11:52 pm

Dianne

mz and cbr - thanks I got the li one. But still too far away - only got 254 on this one :(

11:53 pm

cbr1965

got it - finally - thanks broll

11:53 pm

mzhokie

I'm giving up one word short... any one need any last second help before I crash?

11:55 pm

mzhokie

OMG...one last attempt at guessing and I got it! I could have sworn I tried that one before. I hope tomorrows puzzle is smaller.

11:56 pm

cbr1965

Well hang around to tell us which word it was - I, for one, would love to know - and thanks again for all your help!

11:57 pm

mzhokie

it was the st5/10 that meant 'support device' I thought I had that with a different vowel

11:58 pm

SweetTooth

I just finished with four minutes to spare. I also was having trouble with my last st 5.

11:59 pm

sfneil

Well, I'm sunk!

11:59 pm

cbr1965

well congrats to you both - I never even made it to the Ss!
