hmmmm knew I shouldda stayed in bed ;)

4:54 am

or this one.... http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gite

6:36 am

Any better than 6 yet?

6:55 am

not here :(

6:58 am

Nope, can't go higher than 6 here either

7:15 am

couple 6's, but nothing better

9:07 am

Those ads that constantly flash surely aren't worth the money. There has to be better way.

9:07 am

I am struggling with this one today.

9:23 am

if you use mozilla, the combination of the built in ad-blocking and this extension: http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/flashblock removes all the ads before rendering

9:40 am

Dr. God - Thanks for fixing that Q scoring thing

9:46 am

i'm seeing no Q words... am i moron? [yes, but..]

9:51 am

there's at least 2

9:56 am

I got 1 Q. Thanks to a word I learnt ages ago from playing scrabble.

9:57 am

and thanks to that making me look at it again, I just got the second one.

9:58 am

ooh. i just got one. dictionary doesn't recognize it though. heh, like i care..

9:59 am

yeah, you never forget certain lists of scrabble words :)

10:04 am

Well, I'm done for the day. And appallingly so today: 32, 4.44, 345

10:13 am

the Q word is actually french... and why is 'warf' not being taken?

10:20 am

Yeah a couple of 6's but only one 'q'.. so far 58/4.38/629

10:26 am

... wharf?

10:38 am

yeah, 'wharf'.... wasn't the character on star trek's name spelled 'warf'? maybe that tripped me up. nyaaah!

12:08 pm

so close to 'euchre' and yet so far!

12:20 pm

A smidgen over 600 and that'll do me. OK, someone'll get close to 1200 at least, but I know my limitations...

65 - 4.40 - 701

12:43 pm

I could not find a legitimate q word to Save My Life, and I know French? somewhat

12:46 pm

holmes, it's also used by the British

1:04 pm

i found the q word...

1:09 pm

3 6-words and 627 so far - tough one - :)

1:14 pm

Freuchie is a village in Scotland...

1:18 pm

OK - I admit - I got my best word - 36 points - by guessing what looks like it should be a word - if they wanted to make this hard thy would deduct for bad guesses - Anyway - up to 671 since I found a q word also (only 8 points)

1:19 pm

the Q word describes what borders the Sein River in Paris

1:25 pm

So they'll take an obscure round tar and skin boat in the Irish language, but they won't take the Irish spelling of "queer?" Oh well.

1:45 pm

I need to learn some Q words, because I can't find or think of a single one.

2:00 pm

woot! thanks for that, kaetchen!

73 - 4.41 - 7.93 and I'm quitting before my brain melts and leaks out onto my shirt looking like vomit from eggs and bloody marys.

2:22 pm

OK, I have 2 Q-words, but they're both short, 4-letter guys. Is there a longer Q-word out there?

2:30 pm

i think you people with two Q words are either lying or i got the wrong letters...

2:32 pm

Quaa, quaw, and quat are all Scrabble words, but don't seem to work here. Don't ask me what they mean, but...

2:36 pm

drrr quit thinking QU remove the U and try again

2:40 pm

Thanks jkos31 -- didn't know you could take the "u" out!

2:43 pm

Me either just happened

3:12 pm

689 - must ...... make ....... 700 ......

3:15 pm

That's BULLSHIT! It SAYS Qu so I was DOing Qu. Stupid thing: I was ripping my hair out here! well, not really

3:15 pm

just to be clear, I typed the curse and it put in the bleep. I wouldn't write bleep myself

3:19 pm

OK I quit enough is enough, this game is making me MAD!!! 75 words 4.45 854

3:55 pm

Hmm, my score is 666, no wonder I can't find any more.

4:10 pm

qats!!!!!!!!!!!!1

4:11 pm

Hola wow I went a whole day with out Babble yesterday it was really a boring day. I missed all the fun confusion.

4:22 pm

still nothing over a 6 - anybody else?

4:24 pm

nope just 6 6's

4:39 pm

hey, thanks, this is just my third day and I didn't realize the 'u' on the Q was optional! Thanks much!

4:56 pm

Ok, there are other people that know 'ragu' as an actual Italian sauce, not just a brand name, right?

4:58 pm

That's ragout, isn't it?

5:09 pm

The "u" in "Qu" in not supposed to be optional. It is a bug that I thought I had fixed. I guess I didn't. ;)

5:20 pm

although it did allow Q without U, it did score it correctly this time

5:26 pm

hmm.. please note: I'm getting a late start here

5:31 pm

Ok, Babblers, the "Q" bug has been fixed - this time for good. Sorry "qats" lovers. ;)

5:33 pm

but now it doesn't seem to accept any words ... i've run out of real words, but it's saying that existing chains of letters don't exist

heh

5:34 pm

it's telling me that all my words don't exist in the puzzle... hmm...

5:36 pm

Oops... back to the drawing board...

5:38 pm

it's all good now... thanks! :o)

5:59 pm

A 'ragout' is actually different from a 'ragu'. Sorry, a little obsessive about food-related stuff!

6:04 pm

Dr. God, is there a reason I had to re-enter the words I had that started with 'qu'? It's perfectly ok to lose that were 'q' only, but...

6:08 pm

Kaetchen- That was my fault. Sorry about that.

6:11 pm

No problem! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy!

6:36 pm

Oh, maaaan! I leave for a few hours, and look what happens -- the Q and not U thing gets called a "bug" and "fixed." When the qat's away... blah blah blah.

9:18 pm

I, too, came back to find I'd lost my one-&-only Q-word, but I reentered, so there! I've been here for less than a week, but this seems the most difficult puzzle.

Well, with qats gone, my final (I think) is 83 - 4.45 - 939

Looks like this thing is central time, and I'm in Illinois. I was hoping for the rollover at 11. Oh well. Anybody know how long after midnight the finals are posted and the next puzzle starts?

10:25 pm

New puzzle starts almost right away.
