Babbler

12:09 am

Babbler

hi Mamabear! yes, I'm on my sister's laptop! I asked last night if I could just check my bank balance....... so you know, while I'm here, it would be rude not to pop in!! How are you? : D

12:09 am

TitianAngel

12:09 am

Stace

Babbler

they're just a big bigger than 'fun size', but smaller than normal.....

12:42 am

12:43 am

Griffums

"they're just a big bigger than 'fun size', but smaller than normal....."

Babbler can I borrow this line on my next date? (if I ever have one?)

12:43 am

Babbler

funny you should say that, they were in the fridge already. so that means I am burning a lot of calories already!!! which means my metabolism is nicely boosted for the last one, which is calling my name....!!! See the thing is, if I don't nab it, my brother will!!!

1:08 am

Honey

hugs, are you still there?

1:09 am

Babbler

I agree - chocolate is a vital part of any diet - it's soooooo good for you!!! Boosts serotonin levels, promotes good mood, tryptophan something, helps you sleep. It's magic!! It's just sugar I have an issue with..... eek! :)

1:10 am

Babbler

ummm--- is it obvious I'm a bit sugared-out?? LOL! :D

1:14 am

Queenie93635

sugar cane --- natural product --- grow on cane farms, so it's produce probably a vegatable

1:15 am

Babbler

you say the sweetest things, Queenie!

(boom boom!! LOL!) :D

1:15 am

Jera

Unsweet chocolate... not so good... need a bit of sugar

1:16 am

Queenie93635

ah schucks!!!

1:16 am

Babbler

I am partial to dark chocolate, like 70% cocoa solids. But there's nothing snickers bars etc!!! :)

1:17 am

PAV3

Hi all...just settling in for a bit, I think I'm getting capral, so I have the wrist brace on...certainly makes for interersting typing...I think it was tbear the other night who was one-handed...wonder how she did...

1:18 am

Jera

The less processed the better... I hate milk chocolate...

1:20 am

Queenie93635

keep talking chocolate and i'm going to need some where's that halloween candy???

1:23 am

Tash

Can anyone use the "J" yet?

1:23 am

Queenie93635

some caffine would be good right now, i'm fading here

1:24 am

Jera

Sits beside Babbler & shares some dark chocolate that was hidden in the freezer...

1:24 am

Ho Hum

No, no words start with the j today

1:24 am

Mirage

Dark chocolate? Did someone mention dark chocolate?

1:24 am

Babbler

"num num num num num!!!"
thanks, Jera!! :)

1:24 am

Jera

Is the J used at all? Nothing starts with J...

1:25 am

Jera

Passes Mirage some dark chocolate...

1:25 am

Tash

How do you know the words if it's not posted yet?

1:26 am

Jera

Whoo-hoo! Just found my first 7 letter word!!

1:27 am

Mirage

Right on... thanks! I have a 1/2 lb block from Hershey, PA that I can't open for fear I'll eat it all in one sitting

1:27 am

Jera

My daughter went to hershey park for a Girl Scout thing last year... some day I'm gonna go there & get a chocolate body wrap... sounds so decadent...

1:28 am

Ho Hum

Tash - if you u/g to babble pro it shows you which letters are used and where abouts in the grid, and tells you how many words.

1:29 am

Babbler

Mirage - open it and just have one square...... or just two squares..... and that's it!! :)

1:29 am

jessmom

did ya know that Hershey now makes extra dark choc bars?
bought some for my sis, haven't heard if she's tried it yet.

1:29 am

Babbler

well done Jera!!! even though I'm hyped, I can't find any of the 7s..

1:30 am

Jera

keeping it frozen helps me to pace myself... & hides it from the children... they are Philistines...

1:30 am

Queenie93635

yeah mirage 1 square thats all

1:33 am

Jera

It's the nanochoc... ;>

1:33 am

Babbler

I buy lots and lots of organic extra dark chocolate. I don't have kids, and most people don't like it, so it's pretty safe!! I have a square or two after dinner. It's too strong to eat more.

1:34 am

Queenie93635

ok i give too tired for this going to take "nap" until m daughter gets home back in the am good luck to all

1:34 am

Jera

I found the s7 & the h7... I usually need tons of hints to find anything over a 5 letter... must be the nap I took this afternoon...

1:34 am

Jera

cya Queenie!

1:35 am

Babbler

....also, I know it's really good for me, and might even help promote better sleep, so I kind of should try to have some every day...... which spoils the fun, really!! It's not clandestine anymore, it's medicine!!

1:35 am

Queenie93635

save me a snickers

1:35 am

Jera

Fun vitamins, Babbler!!

1:35 am

Babbler

*puts snickers bar in fridge for Queenie for later*

have a good nap!! :)

1:36 am

Mirage

I'm too weak... if I open I'm afraid I'll succumb to that delicious aroma and just pig out

1:36 am

Babbler

exactly, Jera!!! That's why I'm sharing the logic - everybody should have chocolate without guilt!!! What shall I call my campaign? ......

1:37 am

Babbler

Mirage, it is timely that I have come into your life, eh??
We need to help you have your chocolate! :)

1:38 am

Jera

Hey Chocolate Without Guilt should be catchy enough, LOL!

1:38 am

Babbler

*tries to wake up Anj from his slumber to join in the chat* Hope you read this later, Our Kid!!! :D

1:39 am

Jera

Chocolate: It's Not Just for Breakfast Anymore...

1:56 am

kuteeme

Thanks Deb

1:57 am

Babbler

I grew up here, Sherb. In fact, am considering moving back. The 'feel' in Manchester now is how London used to be in the 80s and 90s. It's really buzzing here!

1:57 am

mikelina

and where do all the words come from?

2:01 am

EthieKid

any help for the S 7's and a 7?

2:01 am

Babbler

Mikelina, scroll up to Babble Rules, that will explain the game in more detail. Basically, you have to make words of 4 letters of more, they have to be touching, and you can only use a tile once in any word. Do you know how to play Scrabble or Boggle? It's a bit like that. Each letter has a value. So when you see us post messages like T7/40, it means a word that begins with T, there are 7 letters, and the values add up to 10, multiplied by 4 gives a total of 40. I don't recognise your name, so I am presuming you're a newbie??

2:02 am

PAV3

mikelina...all the letters in the boxes, with exception of
v,j,d,m,y,i,u at least no words starting with those letters...forgive me, it's past midnight here :)

2:02 am

mikelina

thanks for the very detailed info...I do get the general premise, but am in absolute AWE at those of you who get all of the words! yes am a newbie, just the last couple of days have I played.

2:04 am

Babbler

Welcome!!!!! :D
Well, I've been here 2 hours now, I've had 2 snickers bars for breakfast and am really sugared-out, and I haven't found any of the 7s either!!! How are you enjoying the game? Addicted yet??? :)

2:04 am

PAV3

usually BrandyJack has posted word lists on the BabblersAnonymous site, but perhaps he's delayed this morning, or on holiday?

2:05 am

mikelina

yup. I find I come back and forth throughout the day and find one or two more, usally thanks to someone's clues.

2:06 am

mikelina

babblersanonymous?

2:06 am

Debs40ish

a/7..... A short aria

2:06 am

Ho Hum

2nd letter for the a7 is an r

2:07 am

Ho Hum

Deb I thnik we are working the same words LOL

2:07 am

Babbler

A player called SWMBO set up a chat board type of thing on ezboard. It's called Babblers Anonymous. I think it's the one in the friends of Babble panel on the right of your screen. Brandyjack usually posts the stats for the day's game there. He must be busy this weekend.

2:07 am

PAV3

check the link on the right side of page, under Friends of Babble...then under the General link there, and then under Stat's Lists for the day...

2:08 am

Debs40ish

Anyone found the 8 yet?

2:08 am

sherb

I've just spent half an hour reading the log (then looking for choculate!), printing the grid, writing out the number of words starting with each letter, and I've so far found a total of... 0 words! Talk about displacement activity, lol. Going to try those a's first, they're usually my nemesis :)

2:08 am

Babbler

great clue Debs!!! thanks!

2:08 am

Debs40ish

yw :)

2:08 am

Patrice

Thanks, Deb and HoHum ... I'm new, too, and this is really hard for me :-) I echo Mikelina -- I'm in AWE.

2:09 am

Babbler

Debs, you just have to make your a7 a plural for the 8....

2:09 am

Atalante

the 8 is the plural of one of the 7s

2:09 am

mikelina

pretty amazing that brandyjack.

2:10 am

Griffums

Debs and Atalante - you rock!

2:10 am

EthieKid

Thanks Debs n' Atalante

2:10 am

Debs40ish

Back and forth and strum my lip dribbling....lol

2:11 am

sherb

thanks Debs and Atalante - nice to start with some biggies..... 2 down, 132 to go :)

2:11 am

Debs40ish

Cheers Atal ... Got it :)

2:11 am

Griffums

(sadly, those two words in the last 45 minutes are just the amount of variable reinforcement I need to sit here another couple hours...thanks?)

2:13 am

Ho Hum

s7/28 extension of s5/10

2:13 am

mikelina

only 107 to go!! am on a roll with help from my new friends...

2:14 am

EthieKid

Patrice, I don't know about everyone else here, but I don't think the average bear really knows half of these words. You might try www.a2zwordfinder.com for a little help.

2:17 am

Babbler

great clue, Ho Hum!!!

Patrice, Mikelina - not many of us knew all these 'fancy' words when we started!!! I used a2zwordfinder a few times, but I found it spoilt my fun. I love the buzz of deciphering clues and finding words that way. As time goes by, you remember some of them, especially the ones that took ages to find!! :D

2:22 am

GothicAngelMT

This game is certainly a way to learn some new words - fiddling around to make a word out of some of the letters, then finding out it really is a word, then looking up the meaning. Hahaha.

2:24 am

Ho Hum

2nd letter for s7/40 is t, composite word

2:25 am

Ho Hum

70 for 903, must stop and get on with the day, enjoy the game and see you anon.

Thanks everyone, am heading to bed with 41...might be back tomorrow...or later today that is.

2:41 am

sprite

Hi Babbler and sherb! Bye mikelina, sleep well. Nice grid!

2:43 am

Babbler

this size grid is my favourite. small enough to have those pesky obscure words to ponder, and big enough to make a juicy list of words. !!

2:43 am

sprite

I'm right with you, Babbler, best of both wor(l)ds!

2:44 am

Babbler

oooh, very impressive!!! :D

2:47 am

sprite

Er... just to be sure: you are positive there are 7s and an 8 in this grid? I am halfway and nothing above 6, lol.

2:48 am

GothicAngelMT

Yup sprite... I've gotten a few of the 7s, and the 8.

2:48 am

Babbler

yes, there are 7 x 7s, and 1 x 8...
and 17 x 6s, ....

2:49 am

sprite

Those 6s are no problem :)
But I'll find the rest, in time... Wouldn't it be something to have nothing left to find but biggies? First time for everything ;)

3:05 am

sprite

LOL! Thanks for the encouragement, all, I really need it today! Jeez, I feel dumb. I figured it would be Te, and still no luck. Doing great with the little ones, though ;)

3:06 am

Babbler

sherb: a petite aria ???

3:07 am

Babbler

whoooops!! wrong clue!!!! sorry sorry sorry!

3:07 am

sprite

Hey, I got that one, sherb! I think that if I were of the E5/10, I would answer very A6/27 to that. :)

3:07 am

KJS

OY! Talk about looking in all the wrong places for the te 7! I was starting to get very te 5/16

3:07 am

mslars

st7/40 - do it to your hair + weight less --- not sure of the real definition. :-)

3:07 am

sherb

Babbler - st7/40 - sounds hard :)

3:08 am

Griffums

> starting to get very te 5/16

Now you're on the right track...

3:08 am

mslars

its something in early christianity.

3:11 am

Babbler

yayyy! got the st7/40!

anyone got a second letter for the s7/36?

3:11 am

sherb

Babbler - sorry, wrong one - st7/40, a member of a 70's group, sang 'Have You Seen Her' (I think) :)

3:11 am

sprite

Thanks! That gave me the St7, my first biggie!

3:14 am

3:21 am

Griffums

Eeeuw - I just found those creepy little E's... *shudder*

3:21 am

Babbler

I've got my 7mth old niece on my knee now..... not sure I'll find many more!! :)

3:30 am

sprite

Okay... if the A6 is valid, then why not the H7 you can make of it? All women will agree that there are H7 areas we do not want to discuss, right?

3:30 am

Griffums

Turn her loose on the keyboard!

3:30 am

sprite

She'll find them for you! Monkeytype away, you little one!

3:31 am

Babbler

4:03 am

sprite

I'd love to, Lisa. Wouldn't mind the H6 either... can't find it for the life of me. ;(

4:03 am

jakes-mum

o5/33 is the plural of the o5/20

4:03 am

PAV3

o6 33 pl of o5 20

4:04 am

jakes-mum

lisa HA make is weigh less then pluralise it

4:04 am

Griffums

I can give you the a 6/27 breezily...

4:04 am

sprite

Er... the O6 is something nonexistent, I see.
"hypothetical hydrocarbon radical"
Sure... scotty isn't allowed, but some made up radical is?

4:05 am

Lisa

ha7, combine a laugh sound with doesn't weigh much

4:05 am

Griffums

Made up radicals? Don't we have enough REAL radicals running around?
just sayin

4:06 am

sprite

From my mind to your mind... er, fingers, Griffums!

4:06 am

sprite

Ah, thanks for the H!

4:07 am

Griffums

Well, I wish that st clue had gone from your mind to my mind before it went to everyone else's mind. :( I think I have to eat the rest of my chocolate mountain cake.

4:07 am

Lisa

clue for st 40?

4:07 am

Lisa

sprite, did you get the s28?

4:08 am

Griffums

Yeah, I got lost on the block part of that clue. I think I was up on a pillar with the Stylistics.

4:09 am

sherb

Griffums - glad I'm not the only one remembers them, lol!

4:10 am

sprite

Mslars gave a great clue for the St7:
st7/40 - do it to your hair + weight less --- not sure of the real definition. :-)
For the block thing: I mean the blocks that form things like this grid.

4:10 am

Griffums

You bet. Plus the real name in the puzzle would have been a great name for a girl band.

4:10 am

zubie

96 words; just four since I spoke last. *hangs head in shame*

4:10 am

jakes-mum

could i have a clue for the H4/9 please?

4:10 am

PAV3

Lisa...think of being fashionable...you'd by in st5...but if it were st7, it would weigh less..as they say

4:11 am

sherb

h4/9 - sounds like to do damage to something, but different spelling :)

4:12 am

sprite

yeah, chinese spelling ;)
I'd say, add an a and you have a game, but I am not sure whether the game is only dutch or not.

4:12 am

Lisa

got it!! thanks everyone! anyone need a clue for the 7's? i have to go to bed, 515am here. haven't played in months, forgot how addicting it is!!!! 111words, guess i'll check back later.

4:12 am

Griffums

That gets me a big zonkin zero. Let's face it, I'm just a dork <hanging head lower than zubie>

4:13 am

PAV3

ha4 9,,,google this: stems of beans and peas and potatoes and grasses collectively as used for thatching and bedding

4:14 am

sprite

Googled and yes, it is an internationally known game :)

4:14 am

Lisa

112, thanks pav3!

4:14 am

Griffums

And if I never read the word "Oops!" again it would be too freakin soon.
just sayin

4:15 am

Lisa

g'nite all! g'luck!

4:16 am

Sometimes it is in the grid too, Griffums :D
I have felt pretty stupid ones, hunting for hours for a word that is right before my eyes every other second.

4:16 am

ROFLMAO...
I love you guys, some great clues!

4:19 am

PAV3

Griffums and sherb...we must be eating the same things? or perhaps it's in the water?

4:20 am

Griffums

Well, the water does feel real warm all of a sudden... I'm concerned.

4:21 am

PAV3

Griffums...were you drinking from the jacuzzi?

4:21 am

sprite

*adds more foam to keep you from embarrassement*
Any help on the S7/28? It's my last biggie. Pretty please?

4:22 am

sandbox74

may i ask for the first letter stats pls?

4:23 am

sherb

s7/28 sound hard ;)

4:24 am

Griffums

Ya busted me PAV.
But actually, I realize now I don't need the st7 that you have all been talking about because I *did* know it from sherb's original clue with the ascetics on pillars. I didn't need any tweaky hair stuff and weightlessness - I already had that word. Now I don't even know what word it was I was looking for. What. Ever.

4:24 am

SunnFlower

morning all, sprite change an s6/27 ending for the s7/28

4:24 am

5:32 am

SunnFlower

babes, you're asking for too much, the idea of the game is to find the words with only small clues, anything more defeats the object of playing, rather like cheating at crossword puzzles by looking at the answers all the time

Hello all. Am soooo tempted to play today; already have 90+ words to put in, but am off in non-Babble land where there are noooo computers(!) for the weekend and can't leave an unfinished grid for fear of dropping down the rankings faster than a brick-booted budgerigar. So, happy Babbling folks. See ya! x

6:27 am

Yup. The last one I got is a weird one - got it by monkeying around with the letters. It has no def but is almost identical to one of the others which is a type of currency (old).

7:25 am

PAV3

Ferrari..first make sure you're into the Anon site and have started a message..I think they call it "Add Reply", (you may have to be a member, but as I recall you can reply as a guest...in any case, I like to have both the current and destination pages open
it's easier to highlight , copy and paste that way,

when you are copying using the right mouse button, always click while the cursor is anywhere in the highlighted area; when you are ready to paste, make sure your mouse is also in a clear spot on the destination page...

Hi all...I'm finally finished!! about 6 hours using lame p.c. and lame hand...not quite carpal...but am tired nonetheless..must gain some sleep before dog wakes me in an hour!! she's a regular timeclock when it comes to nature walks..By now Hugs should have posted the letter lists in place of AWOL BrandyJack...so you'll have it easier than I...good luck and have fun....

7:33 am

snowyowl

Hi all - just a quick babble - will hopefully finish tonight.
See theres been some speculation re brandyjack,butreading in babblers anon, I think some people want him to post later in the day as they feel the stats make the game to easy. Personally I need all the help I can get, but that may be the reason he hasn't posted yet.

7:33 am

Miyavi_fan

Congratulations Pav!

8:25 am

tbear

8:30 am

Paddytt

Hi everyone still struggling on the 3rd Wi5/16. I've got the opposite of black & what a flower does when not watered? I only need this one so that I can unchain myself from the desk!!!

8:33 am

Boysaway

Paddy, Used to express sorrow or anxious concern.

8:34 am

ShanaCaitlyn

please explain terminology when you ask for letters and numbers

8:35 am

sproing

'morning all -- long time, no babble :)

8:36 am

Anj

Shana, wi5/16 simply means:

wi - first & second letters
5 - number of letters
16 - total points score

It's 16 because 5 means double face value. 6 = x3, 7 = x4 etc

8:36 am

Anj

Greetings Sproing :)

8:36 am

Paddytt

thanks Boysaway, that will point me in the right direction :-)

8:36 am

snowyowl

Hi Sproing - more reasonably sized grid today!

8:37 am

sproing

Hiya! Any food fights so far today? I saw the grid yesterday but alas that daytime thing that I have to do which pays the bills has been somewhat time-consuming this week

8:38 am

snowyowl

No fights at all yet Sproing! but don't hold your breath!

8:39 am

lola100

Hi sproing :)

8:39 am

Paddytt

Boysaway, I'm deeply grateful :-)

8:43 am

GothicAngel - think 'breezily'

8:45 am

speedfreak

Good Morning All: Looks like a pretty good puzzle, just finished reading the log and jotting down clues...

8:46 am

lola100

Hi speed :)

8:47 am

Hi Speed :)

8:47 am

snowyowl

Hi Speedfreak

8:55 am

mrcoffey04

8:55 am

sherb

hi folks :)

Ho Hum - any clues for the last li4 you found? I have the four you listed, and the Wagon Li**, but I can't find the last one.

8:55 am

joelgee

8:55 am

Linda0

134 words today

8:55 am

snowyowl

mr coffee 134 words today

8:56 am

mrcoffey04

thanx....guess i'll be back to play

8:56 am

snowyowl

coffee! Freudian slip - Coffee any one? Homemade flapjacks?

8:57 am

joelgee

flapjacks sound good. I have the maple syrup.

8:57 am

Anj

:) mocha with the trimmings please Snowy :)

8:58 am

snowyowl

sherb -sounds like a plural of the currency

8:58 am

lola100

joelgee and snowy, I think flapjacks mean different things to you. Joel means pancakes and snowy means oatie type cookies, right?

8:59 am

GothicAngelMT

Thanks guys for the clue on a6.

9:00 am

speedfreak

Learn something new here everyday I never knew of flapjacks as anything but pancakes...

9:00 am

joelgee

That's what I was thinking. However, if you have the oaty type cookies--like oatcakes, I'll survive. Ran into them in Nova Scotia. Another thing I didn't need to know about--kind of like Babble.

9:00 am

snowyowl

coffees coming up!!!! Help yourselves to a little addition - what grandma would have called a winter warmer - brandy ? whisky?

9:01 am

Atalante

flapjacks are *pancakes*? In America? Wow - never knew that!

9:01 am

lola100

speed, I also call little pancakes flapjacks. The brits call them drop scones I think?

9:02 am

lottijw

Hi Guys just a quick visit! :)

9:02 am

snowyowl

Yes oaty cookies is what they are here! Had porridge oats to use up. Trouble is I can't stop eating them!

9:02 am

lola100

Ooh whiskey please snowy! :)

9:02 am

lola100

Hey sis, how you doing?!

9:03 am

Anj

Hi Lotti :) Seems you're only ever about for a quickie recently hun ;)

9:03 am

joelgee

The things you take for granted. If only world leaders would play Babble, instead of babble, they might learn a little bit about other cultures. Editorial done. Off soapbox.

9:04 am

snowyowl

Oh cute lotti! coffe with a drop of the hard stuff?
Lola we call the drop scones pikelets! We could probably fill the log with all the different names for thing!

9:04 am

lola100

joelgee- here, here!

9:04 am

sherb

snowy - thanks for the clue to the last li4.....and you're making me want to make some flapjacks now, lol :)

9:04 am

lottijw

Hey Lola......supposed to be my big night out tonight, but i`m too poorly to go :(

9:05 am

joelgee

Mmmph. Mmmph. <oaty cookie crumbs falling into keyboard>

9:05 am

lola100

No sis! And you found such a sexy outfit too! That's bad luck :(

9:05 am

Anj

Awwww Lotti - you can wear your gladrags for us then :)

9:06 am

lola100

You're right snowy, sorry I started the "what do you call this" thing again :/

9:06 am

snowyowl

Does anyone know what time the L list was posted?

10:52 am

sproing

I started going out with a Californian who hates smoking (and later married him), plus you can't smoke in any public place in Boston now (including bars) -- which is helpful. Mostly willpower though. And being a poor grad student :)

10:52 am

bunnyvicious

ooh, my husband had his wisdom teeth removed and quit smoking cause he couldn't suck on them! try that...

10:52 am

ohromujici

Online hug for you too ouwachita....

Hello all...how's the weather?

10:53 am

bunnyvicious

I'm in process, I use these little tablets, they are $2.50 a box, called Ariva or Stonewall, they really, really curb the cravings.

10:54 am

bunnyvicious

They are nicotine tablets, taste like tic-tacs.

10:54 am

ohromujici

Queen: the weather is crappy in New York. : )

10:54 am

snowyowl

This is the 3rd time in 15 years for me! I used a patch for 2 days and 1 fell off and I hadn't noticed so I just went cold turkey then. I did feel really rotten for about 6 months afterwards but I am beginning to feel I might live now! If I get a pang I find a smoker and do a bit of passive smoking! But I don't feel like a smoker any more
- strange but true!

10:54 am

good luck bunnyvicious!! it's worth it! (although I do miss it...)

11:42 am

ahh, I know what it is -- in fact, it's actually where I'm from... ok, it's a peninsula that is part of Merseyside -- Birkenhead and Wallasey are towns in it... the wi5/16 is it's name but without the last consonant

I should add, it's an a at the end.

Baggo, you have to be a member of the site to get that option. There are quite a few generic radio tags that wouldn't require you to have created a sufficient tistening profile though, so it should n't be a probelm once you've registered.

If you like Shiraz, there's a great wine out of Australia--The Black Chook. It's about 95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier, a white grape. Not pricey at all. Very tasty, especially with a wee spot of cheese.

It looks like a miniature aria, also reminds me of the name of a character from The Borrowers.

7:25 pm

pinecone05

thank you JW and Haz ! I got it.

7:27 pm

Haz1558

Good. I've just managed to complete the grid, so if there are any words I can help with, please let me know. I'll be heading off to bed soon.

7:32 pm

mab

Congratulations Haz. I'm struggling with the longer words; may I have a clue for the na7 please?

7:32 pm

pinecone05

na 7 is a combo of two separate words

7:33 pm

pinecone05

the first part of na 7 is na 4 4

7:33 pm

Haz1558

The na 7/28 is a peculiar word! Think of a manicurist's complete collection. It builds off na4/4

7:34 pm

mab

The na4, yes? I'll noodle a bit with that. Thank you kindly.

7:38 pm

snoozyJ

doesnt this puzzle seem familiar, i think its the same as one from last week

7:39 pm

Haz1558

te5/10 - think snakelike creatures
te5/10 - a plant sore
te 5/10 - follow the te with the first three letters of the country now known as Thailand (I think!)

7:41 pm

snoozyJ

anyone?

7:42 pm

Haz1558

snoozyJ - it's not exactly the same but sometimes you do find that grids have the same words over and over again. Etna and feta are common though missing in today's puzzle.

7:44 pm

snoozyJ

thanks haz...though i still saqy it looks VERY similar

7:45 pm

JoyLee

does anybody have a word list?

7:45 pm

boreetos

Aeon and Erst are common as well. those are two of the first words i look for in every grid.

7:49 pm

Haz1558

JoyLee - if you look under friends of Babble at the right hand side, there is a link to babblers anonymous. There, under general, you will find a stats list for today's puzzle, giving second letters and values. It's easy to print off.

7:49 pm

not you

howdy... first timer here... virgin babbler! having fun reading all the messages... got a question are words in all different languages in this thing or only english?

7:50 pm

Haz1558

They are English words, but there are lots of very unusual ones, along with foreign words which have crept into general usage in English.

7:51 pm

not you

THANKS! I'll keep looking!

11:08 pm

mab

Bless you Titian and Leslie -- I could not see it, I still can't see it! Many thanks.

11:09 pm

mab

That's ok Titian, I'm undoubtedly old enough to be your mother.

11:10 pm

TitianAngel

11:11 pm

TitianAngel

Well I still ought to get new batteries, it makes playing somewhat difficult...

11:13 pm

Griffums

Hallo all - clock's ticking!

11:14 pm

mab

Just add a few laugh lines to my icon.

My laptop hasn't been the same since I let a 12-year-old use it. The s is problematic.

11:14 pm

TitianAngel

shhh don't tell it that! I still have 30 words to find!

11:15 pm

TitianAngel

:) I typically have icons turned off, but peeking- that's a sassy one ;-) I love the red. And yes, 12 year olds can be somewhat... distressing to fine mechanics

11:21 pm

veeder21

help with the na 7/28 please?

11:22 pm

TitianAngel

If you have all 10 na 4/4 then you'd have a ___ of na 4/4 (then put them together)

11:24 pm

TitianAngel

or just na 5 plus a vowel and a consonant

11:24 pm

veeder21

thank you! i never would have gotten that on my own!

11:25 pm

TitianAngel

You're welcome (and indeed, to be honest, I figured it would get rejected when I tried it, I was very surprised lol)

11:25 pm

misstearweus

gang..I'm off again. did my best with 2 hours and no a2z tonight. got 99. just read through all the clues i could. thanx again.

11:27 pm

TitianAngel

Good night miss. And good for you!

Is the middle ri 5/10 staring me in the face and I'm just blind?

11:28 pm

Griffums

Titian it's just the plural of the ri 4/4 preceding.

11:29 pm

TitianAngel

hrm maybe I'm not missing the one I think I'm missing. Because you can't have an s on the preceding 4/4

11:30 pm

Griffums

Maybe you're missing one of the 4/4s still?

11:30 pm

TitianAngel

oops I'm missing the first one I guess

11:31 pm

TitianAngel

No I'm not, perhaps I've just gone mad.

11:31 pm

Griffums

Of the 7 ri's, 6 are sing/pl pairs. The fifth ri in the list stands alone.

11:32 pm

Griffums

Or perhaps I am dense and misanswered your question. No time to ponder.

11:32 pm

TitianAngel

Yes, I'm missing the middle ri 4/4 and 4/5, so I'll keep looking, I think learned too much today ;-) My brain is full

11:33 pm

TitianAngel

no pondering necessary, I thought I had typed them in earlier. Hate when I do that.

11:34 pm

zubie

11:37 pm

TitianAngel

12 to go! Agh I feel the pressure!

11:38 pm

zubie

Lol! Not 14 words in two minutes! I've been here an hour. I left off at 108 and have been silently battling since I logged back in. Then I looked at the total and wondered whether the reason I couldn't find more words was because I'd already found them! :D

11:39 pm

Becoz

aah...sorry, "I confuse the cook!! "

11:40 pm

Becoz

....only 125 to go!!!!!

11:41 pm

11:42 pm

11:43 pm

Titian it extends the se 4/6 above it, um, with the material used for bathroom floors.

11:45 pm

erin76

11:45 pm

11:51 pm

TitianAngel

4 st words to go and then I am done! *frantic staring at letters*

11:52 pm

Griffums

Do you know what you're missing? (in the puzzle I mean) as far as the combos?

11:52 pm

erin76

what st ones do you need?

11:53 pm

TitianAngel

The 5/10 followed by the 2 6/18 and then another 5/10 between 2 4/4 *continue staring*

11:54 pm

Griffums

To start, the 5/10 is a misspelling of the famous woman's name Brando shouted in Streetcar. The two 6/18's just add a different letter onto it.

11:55 pm

emonten

dang got a late start only got 11 words :(

11:55 pm

TitianAngel

nevermind I had the 5's. Why am I having typing issues?

11:57 pm

TitianAngel

YAY! I thought I had tried the second 6, but never would have thought the first to be a word! *throws arms around neck to hug you!*

Wait, I'm still missing two? EEK!

11:57 pm

Griffums

Which two? We have LOOOOOOTS of time

11:57 pm

TitianAngel

I don't know lol!

11:58 pm

erin76

st 6/18, take your 2nd 5/10 and add one letter.

11:59 pm

erin76
