Babble: Archived Puzzle for Friday, September 30, 2005

12:32 am

Boysaway

Hellooo, anyone out there?

12:36 am

broll

Just you and me, boysaway. They'll all be back soon. Can you tell me how many words in this grid?

12:36 am

Boysaway

Only 96, but it's a stinker!

12:37 am

broll

I see five. Only 91 to go.

12:37 am

Boysaway

4-letter words: 70
5-letter words: 16
6-letter words: 10

12:38 am

broll

Ooooh. No biggies. I might have a chance.

12:40 am

broll

Thanks. The regulars must have been booted off like I was. This is weird!

12:59 am

broll

boysaway, you still there?

12:59 am

Boysaway

Yes, struggling on

1:00 am

broll

I've got 30, no 6-letters. Wonder where everyone is!

1:01 am

Boysaway

h6/48, I've only got 26 words!

1:03 am

Boysaway

broll, are you in UK or US?

1:04 am

broll

Dr_God should give us bonus points for perseverance.

1:05 am

broll

Oberlin, Ohio, USA. (That fake state is in the puzzle!)

1:06 am

Boysaway

It can't be a location problem then, everyone must be in bed

1:07 am

broll

Yesterday's puzzle did them in.

1:08 am

Dr_God

Most people can't access the site at the moment. I just moved Babble to a new server. So until everyone's ISP's update their DNS settings, they'll still be trying to load the site from the old server, and all they'll get is an apology letter from me. Anyone who is here right now has a speedy ISP.

1:09 am

Boysaway

Wow, that's good to know, thanks Dr God

1:10 am

agzam2

i'm here ... but i'm goin to bed :p

1:10 am

broll

Dr_God, I am a total computer illiterate. I just went offline for 5 or 10 minutes, then came back on. Just lucky, I guess.

1:13 am

Boysaway

k6/30

1:16 am

plurple

Yay for me!

1:16 am

broll

Just got the H. Working on the K. Thanks. No, h6/39.

1:17 am

broll

Oh, good, you can keep boysaway company while I bring in plants off the porch. May be frost tonight. And hello!

1:19 am

Boysaway

t6/18

1:19 am

plurple

omg my favorite subject is in here!! yay!

1:20 am

spatialbean

i've got the k

you want a clue?

1:20 am

Boysaway

What's that, plurple?

1:20 am

makay

Dr GOd...I can access this site from one computer on my home network but not the other two....it cannot be just my ISP!

1:20 am

broll

you don't hear that statement very often.

1:20 am

agzam2

got the k also ... could use a clue for the h and the t tho :)

1:21 am

spatialbean

what h?

1:22 am

agzam2

the h 6/48

1:22 am

plurple

Boys, is that a trick? Haha

I'm not supposed to say words in the puzzle or people get upset. It's a four letter word starting with an M that most people hate.

1:22 am

spatialbean

oh :P

1:23 am

Boysaway

Gotcha plurple

1:26 am

agzam2

1:56 am

sprite

AAARRRGGGHHHHHH!
Couldn't reach this site for 2 hours, had to threaten my ISP to get access. Can't deny an addict her dope like this, now can they?
Er... and good morning all :)

1:56 am

Chessy

Hi Sprite :)

1:57 am

broll

Good morning! Glad to see you. It was weird, with only a few chatters here.

1:58 am

sprite

Yeah, is caused by the server move of this site. As long as your ISP doesn't refresh its DNS settings, you're toast. ;) Hope the rest of us die hards are here soon as well.

1:59 am

sprite

Unkind grid. Won't allow me pilot nor pillow.

2:00 am

Chessy

nor litany :(

2:01 am

broll

Litany was the first thing I "saw". There are many of such words today.

2:01 am

sprite

Just looked at the stats panel. Only 96 and a 6 is a biggie... tight one!

2:05 am

sprite

You navive speakers... why not hitman?

2:06 am

sprite

*native*

2:07 am

Chessy

don't know Sprite, but that gave me another good word!

2:09 am

plurple

58 and time for sleep
goodnight

2:09 am

zoom

morning all:) how's the grid today?

2:09 am

sprite

Well, as long as I can't spell 'native', I'd better not try hitman ;)

2:09 am

sprite

Night plurple.

2:10 am

Chessy

48 and half way there. Time for a break, see you later. :)

2:11 am

sprite

Later, Chessy!
32 words only, but having fun nontheless :)

2:12 am

sprite

Hey, nice nosy H6/39.

2:13 am

broll

59 and staring blankly at screen. You all find the "big" ones and leave clues. Thanks. Night.

2:13 am

zoom

2:14 am

sprite

Lol broll... goodnight then!

2:14 am

sprite

It was, zoom.

2:17 am

zoom

good good, thanks sprite.

2:18 am

sprite

You know, that almost-ing-ending in the left upper corner is putting on the wrong track all the time ;)

2:21 am

sprite

So far I found a chemical E6/27, a nosy H6/39, a cuddly K6/30 and a industrious P6/30.

2:21 am

2:26 am

zoom

you're doing well sprite, i've only got your 'nosy' & 'cuddly' ones!

2:27 am

sandbox74

May I have the "first letter" stats? Thank you kindly.

2:28 am

sprite

I can add an enlightened L6/18 to the list.

2:29 am

sprite

I'd say 'tipo' is a selfdescribing word

2:36 am

zoom

is it too early for a second letter for your e6 & c6 sprite?

2:36 am

sprite

I have no C6 so far. For the E it's t.

2:37 am

3:01 am

sprite

It about a yewish girl in the early 1900s, who yearns to be allowed to study, but isn't. When her father dies, she presumes to be a boy and goes to a jeshiva.

sprite

Got it. An almost singing W6/36.

3:36 am

baggo

ty sprite..nice clues

3:37 am

sprite

It's a tight grid, but I like most words. Not many scrabble words, most normal ones. :)

3:39 am

baggo

i agree i really liked yesterday's too...words that just jump out at you every which way..

3:40 am

sprite

Oh yes, I really had fun with that yesterday! It is so nice to see words even faster than you can type them. But I like the searching and hunting of the smaller ones too.

3:42 am

baggo

yes i do too...the ones like yesterdays my last couple were easy words that i had sworn i had already put in.
too big and i tend to type so fast that i lose some

3:43 am

sprite

I have the same thing. Sometimes I suspect babble of erasing words ;)

3:43 am

Jacula

Morning all. It won't let me have 'hitman':-(

3:44 am

baggo

anj and i talked about that the other day...real easy words that i know i have entered...the real obvious ones and they poof are gone

3:45 am

sprite

I know, Jacula, it's a b*tch. But you are close to another biggie ;)

3:45 am

SunnFlower

morning jacula, perhaps it's just as well. got to go see you later lol

3:46 am

Jacula

Sprite - Know what you mean. That happened to me with 'said' yesterday.

Hi & Bye Ferrari.x

3:47 am

sprite

I am proud. Got the Ks done and they are always a pain in the *ss for me. Even worse than vowel words.

3:47 am

Jacula

Sprite - is that that p6/30 to do with either shorthand, horse racing or fossil fuel?

3:48 am

sprite

Mine got to do with mining people.

3:49 am

Jacula

That's the one, Sprite.:-)

3:50 am

sprite

Thank you :)
Learn something new here every day, if not new words, than at least new meanings. God, I love language.

3:52 am

sprite

Alright, a poll:
is our queen Beatrix hatty or not?

3:53 am

Jacula

I know our Camilla is 'hatty'. Wears HUGE ones! LOL. (I tried hatty, too. )

3:54 am

baggo

yeah you guys got lots of them hatty things on your side of the pond...i did it too

3:54 am

Jacula

Grid won't let me have 'lipo' either! Oh, and that wa4/11 word still isn't allowed. (LOL)

3:55 am

baggo

i even tried that wa4 with an "ie"

3:55 am

sprite

Tried that too, LOL!

3:55 am

zoom

glad i'm not the only one then!

3:56 am

Jacula

Speaking of that ending to the word, I suppose you've got the thing you need when you sneeze or cry?

3:57 am

sprite

Yup, that's the nosy one.

3:57 am

baggo

least george michael is in here

3:57 am

zoom

sprite - your 'early bird' h6 is driving me nuts - anything else you can tell me?

3:58 am

sprite

Bird of prey, but then very young.

3:58 am

baggo

zoom look for the bird and go from there...

4:00 am

zoom

many thanks for putting a simple soul out of her misery!!

4:04 am

sprite

A small hint for others who are as blind as me: as soon as you have exhausted all the wh-options, remember there is another h. Realised that only after trying things like wiop and such.

4:05 am

baggo

are there 4 wh's?

4:05 am

Jacula

Oh yes, the 'h' that leads to some violent words!

4:05 am

Jacula

I have 5 'wh' words so far.

4:06 am

sprite

That's the one :)
I have four now, but I am one W short.

4:10 am

baggo

well 13 left to go, but break is over will see you all later from home, busy night not sure be able to get back on...cya

4:10 am

sprite

96 words / 4.38 / 1102 points.
I had the hardest time with the Hs, some words I have never seen. But since they were 4 letter words, noodling did the trick :)
Thanks guys and girls, it was fun babbling with you, as always :D

4:11 am

Jacula

Bye Baggo. Hope your make-up isn't running. (I read yesterday's log!:-)))

4:11 am

Jacula

Well done Sprite. See you tomorrow.

4:11 am

baggo

5:21 am

Anj

Morning Macadam, Jacula. I see the UK monsoon season is here then...

5:21 am

Jacula

Not raining here at the mo., but has been.

5:24 am

Anj

Mmmmm :) Not quite the sonic massage that Soundgarden gave me but then again the venue is completely covered in sound absorbant foam because of complaints about the noise (well, vibration really...)

5:25 am

Anj

...I see our bunsen burner/volcano friend is in this one again...

5:26 am

Haz1558

5:33 am

lola100

Hi movieman :)

5:33 am

5:39 am

movieman

I was up until 11:00pm last night (as you may have gathered from my last message yesterday), but then I did have the assistance of a2z AND my wonderful fellow Babblers...;oD

5:39 am

Jacula

It was like pulling teeth after I hit the wall on yesterday's grid but, between us, me and my other half managed to pull the last few by half past midnight.

5:49 am

just-jo

Eva

Well, now I know just how addicted I am. We had a high wind storm yesterday, lost power at 10:30 am and got it back about half an hour ago, and I cared about the lack of water, heat and light far less than the fact that I had been really into yesterday's puzzle and was suddenly exiled!

7:56 am

lola100

Eva- lol! Welcome to the addiction :)

7:57 am

Nice to hear good news.News progs have being making it sound gloomy for shops.

9:19 am

Anj

Bobsta, what's the best on the market at themo for tvs just now? Are flatscreens all they're cracked up to be??

9:20 am

Anj

Hey Lola, I like your noew icon :)

9:20 am

Haz1558

TIme to ask for help - I have the l word that looks like the word for grass, but spelt wrongly. A clue for the other l, please?

9:21 am

macadam

Me too Haz

9:21 am

Bobsta

Anj: ours are because of the technology that the company use (screen resolution and such) but others are starting to catch up. Flat screens are the way forward because of HdTV starting soon. CRT (Conventional tv) will never be able to display High Def.

9:23 am

Bobsta

Pound for pound though, ours are best because of the length of tome they last.

9:24 am

lola100

li6/18, sounds like baby cat :)

9:24 am

Cmith

Haz1558: li 6/18 rhymes with baby cat

That's why i'm thinking ahead. I've got a Sony 24" at the mo which has done sterling service but I might upgrade and run that as a spare. What make are yours Bobsta?

Cmith - Spangle is very much a pet, not trained for hunting or anything. She does need firm handling but she is SO beautiful. She'll soon be ready for her afternoon walk. Thank goodness it has dried up as wet dog is not the best smell to have in the house!

Hey Miyavi :) How's your Friday?? Apart from the science bit...

9:47 am

Miyavi_fan

my favourite school subject? *searches* ooooh dear...had double that word today, why can't it leave me alone?!

9:48 am

Anj

....gah! I'm having a bad hair day :( First it decided to form a birds nest and now i've untangled that it has gone all curly-wurly :/

9:48 am

Miyavi_fan

Fine thanks Anj...the science test wasn't that bad, since my science teacher's okay...not as scary as the rest of the faculty! How was your day?

9:49 am

Miyavi_fan

Hah...every day is a bad hair day for me! Today I'm sporting mad curls because of the rain :)

9:51 am

Anj

Fine thanks. Just been doing the domestic god thing, chilling out to music, surfing a few sites, talking to the plants and chatting Lola up

9:52 am

Anj

Mine does that as well. It's sort of wavy when it dries, but if it gets wet I end up looking like i've got a really shaggy perm :/

9:52 am

Miyavi_fan

Talking to the plants? Is that the same as talking to a computer on the madness scale, or worse?

9:55 am

Anj

Probably worse, but they're hot on environmental issues... lol

9:55 am

Uneaixoise

ta 6/18 slang for potato? sorry, i'm not getting this--more help, please?

9:55 am

Miyavi_fan

Just had the strangest image of you with a granny perm *shudders* since mine's needing a cut soon, it went truly madly curly today. I think there may be birds in there somewhere ^_^

9:56 am

Miyavi_fan

Actually, the madness doesn't come in talking to the plants...it's when the plants start to talk back!

9:56 am

EvaNadine

Uneaixoise -- thats the one im struggling with too...only slang i know is "tater"

9:56 am

lola100

lol, chatting me up! I have chopped all my hair off, so no more bad hair days. All part of the new and improved lola :)

WOAH

10:14 am

Anj

Miyavi??

Lola, you have't scalped yourself have you? :(

10:17 am

Miyavi_fan

Sorry...just saw a very disturbing pv...kyo spitting up blood, straight jackets, beating hearts being ripped out of bodies, that sort of thing. I love Dir en Grey *cheesy grin*

10:19 am

lola100

lol! No babe :)

10:20 am

EvaNadine

Lola :')

10:21 am

Miyavi_fan

Anj, I wouldn't like to be in the same office as you then!

10:25 am

Anj

Brights lights, big city Miyavi. I've worked with salesmen for years...the moment one of those shows weakness they're taken down in a feeding frenzy. It's not pretty...

10:29 am

Miyavi_fan

Feeding frenzy?! *shudders* Just had a Shaun of the Dead moment, have horrible images of stressed-out salesmen being eaten alive...

10:32 am

Anj

Miyavi, that's how it goes, metaphorically speaking. They don't call it swimming with sharks for nothing lol

10:33 am

Miyavi_fan

Oh great *looks over shoulder* gonna be paranoid for life now. Have developed a phobia of offices :)

10:33 am

EvaNadine

*whew*
28 words left to find and theyre all 4-letters.
:)

10:36 am

Anj

Don't worry, if you're not one of them they don't attack. They just make unreasonable requests :/ lol

10:39 am

Miyavi_fan

lol...though it's still pretty shaky laughter....though maybe that's down to the pv?!

10:45 am

Anj

It's the pv lol. How are you doing for words??

10:50 am

Bobsta

Can't beleive it won't take pitta. We'd have very messy hands on a friday night after the pub with kabab all over our hands with no pitta bread!!!!

10:51 am

10:51 am

Anj

Bobsta, lose a t :)

What's the Beovision recommendation then??

10:52 am

Bobsta

evanadine: i realised it as soon as i posted it
D'oh D'oh D'oh!!!!

10:53 am

Bobsta

Anj: has to be the BeoVision 7-32 or if you want a bigger screen the 7-40 comes out in a while

10:56 am

Anj

Bobsta, that's gonna hurt lol. What's the damage all in including speakers, adapters etc ??

11:11 am

Tia

can anyone tell me how to work out what the total word count is please?

11:11 am

lottijw

Anj... do you get the impression Bobsta has deserted babble again????!!!!
Hi everyone :o)

11:13 am

Anj

Hi Lotti :) Must be customers again lol

I'm not sure if Lola is still about :/

11:14 am

jimhash

i just joined this game today. can anyone tell me what does all those numbers and letters that you type mean?

11:14 am

Would I leave without telling you??!!

Hey lotti! How goes it?

Everytime i arrive she has to go and vice verce!!!

11:15 am

Tia

cool thanks anj

11:15 am

Anj

Hi Jimhash. It's just a shorthand for the words, for instance:

ha6/48 translates into

starts with H
2nd letter A
6 letter word
worth 48 points

4 letter words are worth face value, 5 = x2, 6 = x3 etc

11:16 am

lottijw

Hey Lola are we gonna manage 15mins together today????!!!!!!! Hi Miyavi, are you better?

11:16 am

Bobsta

Anj: Sorry Had some customers in, The BeoVision 7 -32 with motorised stand is Â£6340.00 installed.

11:26 am

lottijw

I`m not bad Anj...I just get tired and can`t be arseditus!!!!

11:26 am

Miyavi_fan

A very dodgy pv that I can't stop watching. But it scares me so. And yes, Anj, of course I'm still watching. Scary but so addictive...perhaps it's because they start dancing weirdly halfway through?!

11:28 am

Anj

lol krys10, I meant the puzzle, but ze cat, ee iss verrry nice ;)

11:28 am

lottijw

The partys at Tiger Tiger in Manchester at the end of October. I can`t wait for a good night out!!! :)

11:33 am

Miyavi_fan

Can I come, or would it shock my young eyes?!

11:34 am

lottijw

That depends how much i have to drink Miyavi LOL ;)

11:37 am

Anj

11:38 am

lottijw

You choose, whichever makes your legs look best ;)

11:40 am

Miyavi_fan

11:43 am

Anj

LMAO Miyavi :) Propriety forbids me from commenting on that post (down, Lola!)
Wait until you get to Uni...most of the blokes dress up all the time lol

Thanks for all the great clues everybody!!!

Well, there's always http://weboggle.shackworks.com /game.html

11:58 am

Ah, Anj...uni sounds cool then. My friends brother goes to medical school, and all he's learnt so far is that the official medical term for man boobs is 'bitchtits'

11:58 am

Haz1558

Krys10 Thank you! I stupidly didn't take account of the second h lurking beneath! All done now and time to get the evening meal under way.

Thanks Lotti! But all my material seems to come from somewhere else, and contain examples of my immature sense of humour.

12:03 pm

lottijw

ROFPML!!!!!!!!!

12:03 pm

Miyavi_fan

moobies?! oh, anj...

I've decided, as if now, I want to go to medical school :)

12:05 pm

Miyavi_fan

He also has a professor called Mr Ding Ding. How cool is that?!

12:05 pm

Anj

Yaaaaaay! My 2 Cutting Jade cds have arrived from SA :) That was quick :D ...and one of them is a double cd too... *does the happy happy joy joy dance*

12:06 pm

12:11 pm

Miyavi_fan

12:12 pm

12:13 pm

Deutsch

Hi!

12:13 pm

lola100

Now Anj, before you listen to the cd's do you have your SA red wine and biltong at hand?!

12:14 pm

Miyavi_fan

Whatever, I'm still sulking. But my heart is set on october eighteenth, when it's hopefully arriving. So I've smuggled the portable DVD player up to my room in wait for that day ^_^

12:14 pm

12:35 pm

lola100

Naah, we're good thanks :)

12:35 pm

Anj

Boreetos, not sure - maybe it's something to do with Zach Brahh 'allegedly being in rehab at the mo.

12:36 pm

boreetos

what?! I have heard nothing of this in the states. Weird, i hope that's not true, he's too cool for that shite.

12:38 pm

Anj

It's just a rumour, but he's been going non-stop since Garden State so he might have hit the wall. Might just be caution on his part.

12:40 pm

Anj

Excuse me folks, gotta go do the food thing... :)

12:42 pm

lola100

Did you guys see him on Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd? They got some kids to spray-paint his porsche...very funny :)

12:43 pm

boreetos

no, i must have missed that one. :)

12:44 pm

boreetos

can't believe wank isn't considered a word.

12:45 pm

Bugzy

Hi all - bit more manageable today, eh?
I second that, boreetos, and I think if the a4/7 abbreviation is legit then IHOP should be, too! :)

12:46 pm

boreetos

absolutely.

12:49 pm

Papercut

hitman isn't a word?

12:50 pm

joey

I must have tried hitman three different times. I guess that it is considered outside of this game.......

12:51 pm

Bugzy

Hitman isn't, but if you change the first letter, you'll get one of the 6s....

12:51 pm

ExWren

Where are the fireworks and flag waving ? I've finished another one, not like the last two days!

12:52 pm

Papercut

thanks Bugsy, I think hitman is way more legit than that 6

12:53 pm

boreetos

ex wren-
shew! shew! shew!
BOOM BOOM CRACK BOOM!!!!!
yea! flap! flap! yea!

12:53 pm

Bugzy

agreed.
Congrats ExWren - I think that when you finish, the letter tiles should bounce all over like the cards do when you win at Solitaire.

12:54 pm

ExWren

Now I'm happy!!xxx

12:54 pm

boreetos

:)

12:58 pm

boreetos

half way there, time for a break.

1:00 pm

Patricia

how do you know how many words there are???
How do you guys get so many???? Do you use a program or word book to help???I can only get the common ones.

1:00 pm

Bugzy

later, Boreetos :)

1:07 pm

Bugzy

Patricia - Pro Babblers have access to the Stats page, which lists how many words there are, plus the word count per title. Many of us also use finding aids like www.a2zwordfinder.com, and of course hints on the chat log. Also, after you've been playing for a while, some "uncommon" words tend to appear frequently.
For today, there are 96 total words -- a list of the words by 1st and 2nd letter was posted in the log by Brandyjack a couple hours ago... Hope this helps :)

1:08 pm

Bugzy

that is "word count per tile." SHeesh!

1:09 pm

Deutsch

thanks, Bugzy!

Boysaway

Hi Guys!
It was really weird this morning - like a gost site, just me and one other person. Dr God came on and said he's changed the server and that you would only access the site if you had a fast ISP. It was like tumbleweeds blowing across the road...
...but I still can't get this puzzle! Doing really rubbish.

1:23 pm

ok, Miyavi. :-) When you select an image, the file type will be JPEG (with the extension of .jpg or .jpeg). Forget the pixel size, Babble will resize it. But if it's not a square, it might come across funny.

argh, couldn't believe that Babble was down this morning... I guess Dr_God needs a better server and it's always a pain to change servers.

1:52 pm

Miyavi_fan

Changing servers? Sorry...please humour my ignorance *hangs head*

1:54 pm

sproing

the server is the computer where Babble lives -- I guess since Babble is so successful, Dr_God needed more space to house everything

1:54 pm

Miyavi_fan

riiiiiight...thanks

1:54 pm

sproing

and Internet Service Providers (like BT Internet, OneTel, Comcast) can take a while to figure out that the web site has moved addresses.

1:55 pm

I think I need the second te4/4 and the te5/16. Are there any kind helpers out there?

2:12 pm

Vicuna

Strike up the violins and... "I feel pretty, oh so pretty and w5 and wise..."

2:13 pm

Miyavi_fan

I think the question, Boys, is what substance did he INHALE with his last meal!

2:13 pm

Deutsch

Bugzy, it's a yiddish word. Sort of a play on a Streisand movie.

2:14 pm

Anj

...a large mug of PG Tips...and a soggy choccy biccy :)

Lo? What do you want me to share babe?? ;)
