I also have a seven, worth 76 points.

think dance.

oh duh i saw that but it didn't click

i don't feel so bad about yesterday's now cause on the rankings the high score was only 13-- something.

i definitely like this puzzle better than yesterday's

runningforhome

12:20 am

Bah, every time I think I do well on a puzzle, there's at least 6 people that do better than I did. :p

i want wagon to be there so bad

I keep seeing circ.... to many baits. LOL

Parker - I hope I said nothing to upset you, yesterday??? not sure I'll be back, today - but we'll see...

I think I prefer yesterday's ....;)

Christine. It was no good asking me for the 7 letter to do with cold. You know I can not compete with you "Big Boys" and I was in asleep.

52 words 4.46 614 Straight off to sleepsville

wow, i recognize a lot of names in this chat. :D

i don't think i've ever gotten a 7 letter word.. I think inthe game for moday i did and that's it.

Gotta go to bed... not a bad start 44 words /4.68 /646

Actually the 7 Letter 76points word was the first one I noticed ... thats never happened before LOL

im stuck :/

Kukana

4:59 am

Don't you mean 57 points? 56 doesn't divide by 3!

Oopsy sorry that correct 57 ... Cheers Kukana pleased somone is paying attention ;) :)

Anyone got 8's or 9's out there ??

lawyer-1

6:47 am

There is also a 7-letter word with the 'z'.

Christine - I just don't care for cheaters. I definitely don't care enough about online things to be all riled up or anything though.

Yup that was the first word I saw lawyer thanks think most peeps will have that one wot.. wot...

76 points right!? ;)

Okay well I have just come from yesterdays Chat Log ~ Interesting! have to admit the Rankings do have me scratching my head, know for a fact that you can do more by doing less at times, meaning not bothering with the Grid at all see's you climbing then getting a good top place result AND getting nowhere fast! Also started with a half hearted effort under the name of standby4sue thus found it difficult to climb the ladder SOoo changed name and started again! And Yess somtimes I do Babble with a friend ~ its half th fun seeing which ones we have missed, i mean how many of you have not asked a chum if they can see a word in the Grid ?? <shrugs> if thats cheating So be it!! ... think it should also be fun as well as challenging hmmm ?? ONWARDS AND SIDEWAYS ;) LOL

Just found the 76 point "z" word. Yay!

I'm all for having fun - it was the posting of words in the chat log that I had a problem with. But whatever - while rankings are fun, I play this b/c I like to challenge myself and see how well I can do :)

Pleased to hear it Parker lol Guess Babble can be many things including rather frustrating hmmm To each there own :) NOW BRING MY CAR ROUND FRONT!! ;) :p LMAO!!

Found another 7 - for 52 points

Oh and take the rest of the day off ;) *giggles*

I just started playing this a few days ago, but am sadly addicted. Today's grid has me stumped though, my eyes are going squiggly from staring so hard looking for anything with a z in it (only found one 4 letter word) - I think I'll give up for a few hours and go play junior scrabble with my kids, give my brain a rest!

Well Fiona when you come back to fry your Brain Further ... Wot you are to your Children is the first 3 letters of a 6 letter z word worth 57 points Okay!? *wink*

Thanks for that, I'm still here lol - kids room was a pigsty, so I ordered a tidy up before I'd play a game with them, which means I should have about 3 spare hours before they get it done!

Argh...isotope...not..quite...there....

Kukana

9:24 am

Why won't it allow tomtom?

My guess is that b/c tom-tom (as in the drums) is usally hyphenated....

Yeah found the 7 letter 76!!

Becca Boo Shall we ?? *takes hand ;) LOL

yes we shall :) finding it made me want too LOL

Hey suebeedoobeedoo!!! Thanks for the clue to the 6 letter z word worth 57 points !!! You are as always a 'gent'!!!

SweetPickle

10:43 am

okay I got the 57pt one but...what the heck does it MEAN? it isn't even in dictionary.com. (thanks for the clue though. (: )

LOL Your welcome Sweetie ~ Pleased you were around to pick it up :)

Yikes - I just looked up the translation for the 6 ltr 57 pointer. Definitely not a nice word.

Wow, no it's not! :-O

And it sounded SOoo Family Orientated ~ I rather not know LOL ;) Ooo Oooo just found another 6 letter z word :)

4t8

11:07 am

have one 7, and a total of 6 z words. 71/764.

Wake up brain...I can't find any 7 letter words... Hi Kristin!

Same here just one 7 and 6 z words!

one 7, 2 6's -- only one of thse is a z word. what does the 6 letter-57 pt z word mean -- or where can i find the defn?

lawyer-1

11:17 am

It doesnb't allow tomtom because sometimes this is a backward site.

i have 3 6's and 1 7

You can look up the definition at http://encarta.msn.com. It will refer you to a definition with an alternate spelling.

thanks. :O

Hmm, backwards ...

only 53/640 for me. i blame lack of sleep and food.

Talking of food ... I'm still miffed at not getting Dogmeat LOL

On the blue bar at the left of the encarta site (where you find the definition of the term), there's a second definition. There's an advisory before it shows you the second meaning, but there's no offensive language there.

hey -- it took a word i used for my sister in law. :) (not really a nice word.)

ahh my first thought was bitch, but there are no b's :(

my score is 666 now

it's only 4 letters

I'm doing terrible...only 3 6's and no 7's!

4 6s, 2 7s and 7 Z words... 47 words 4.57/693 Hi Kristy :-P

I've got 6 z words.

I am getting no work done. The 6 letter z word is eluding me. I can't concentrate on anything else!

Okay will look for just one more to hit 90 words *rubs eyes* going to call it a day ... Got to do the Supermarket dash B4 the Footie starts GO ENGLAND!! :)

jewel -- just keep typing in every combination and it will come to you. i promise. ;)

To be honest, the 6-letter z-word is so obscure that when you get it it'll be entirely by luck. I've never heard of it. So far, 71/4.34/671 and starting to stab the screen.

Where is England going?

57 words & 726 pts. will clean my house now and bbl. :)

Go hapigurl!!!

ok I found it. Now i am going to find the definition. then I MUST get some work done. I REALLY am busy.

Nutkin - England is going to beat Portugal in the football tonight - hopefully!

Jewel which one ?? there is two OOps not helping hmmm ;) LOL Check the clues further down hmm or ask your MOM ;)

sucking me right back in! Thanks a lot! I got the mom one.

LOL sorry ~ Same ending ;)

I have 6 z words right now.

12:35 pm

I just want to send a special message to all the new "Ovu" ladies. Welcome! And an even bigger welcome to "momasmom" for being the 2000th Babbler!

I only have 4 z words but at least one of them is for 76 points.

stupid babble...toze is a word on dictionary.com but the game won't accept it ....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :@

Hey Parker and Hapi!

Hey there Amber :)

Cannot watch the football no more....england just let in the 2nd goal....we are shit, apart from Ashley Cole...I am gutted, and near tears.

As a Portuguese Canadian, I have to say I'm rooting for the other side. :p No hate messages, please. ;)

Nah...Portugal have played better....anyway we are now 2-2.

Just 2 mins left...looks like penalties....so Portugal bound to win!!!

runningforhome

6:16 pm

Me too.

i havent :(

how many 7 letter words are there? I have found 3

where I'm from gomer is a word...=(

I've only found two, so I'm not sure how many 7s there are...I think someone said they found three so far.

I have found four 7's.

I've found 4 7's Kathy..Same here...lol

im stuck again *sigh*

hmmm...four?!?! Hmmmm I've found a dance and a birth defect... any hints on the other two??? purty please??? just a hint. :)

parker gave a really good clue over in GB in Ovuland for one of the 7's.. that helped me

The other one, I don't know what it means, doesn't have a def, I was just putting in combos and it acepted it

Here's the clue I posted. A flash will go off when you capture the image of the word Punkin - Wow, 4?! You're really tearin' it up, aren't you?

theres one to do with.. flash.. adn image.. but its only 6, i cant find a 7.. :/

It's a 7 and it's 52 pts.

Well I can't find the def, I've looked all over the internet for it. But its a combo of one of the words that mean A Book

Doesn't it look like "tomato" should be in there?

This is another that I'll feel like an idiot when I either figure it out or see it on someone elses list when the puzzle closes, huh?

bookworm..Yes it does

omg...I just found my 1st 7...72 points!!!!!

i dont think im ever going ot find any more 7's lol

xena

7:03 pm

reading the chat log is depressing me. Have not found one 7. What a bunch of good word finders you all are!

i keep wanting to put in zealot

72 points?? or 76...I've got one that is 7 letter for 76pts...hmmmmmmm

I haven't found any 7's either

I can't find any 7's either. Not my day I guess

YAY i found my second 7.. it doesnt have a definition.. wonder if its that one ;)

I've got one 7, two 6's, I'm at 46-4.43-595, and I have a ton to do tonight. I think I'm gonna have to leave it as is, and just find out what I missed when I get up tomorrow.

sorry...i meant 76

bazo0ka, probably because the other 3 7's I have do have defs.

I'm at 867 and it's buggin' me that I can't get 900 :-P

yeah i looked, it is.. because of the book thing :)

i _just_ made it to 900 adn now im stuck again lol im working one word per hour now ;)

OK I'm calling it quits for now, I said that like 20 minutes ago and never did..lol

lol

i'm out too...spent waaaaay too much time here today

Okay, colour me stunned - I just got the third and fouth 7 ltr word. I'm generally not that good at finding the longer ones. The book clue and the birth defect clue really helped. Thanks! :)

what does the birth defect start with? ;) im sure my sis could tell me, but she's downstairs <renee/oliviasmommy> give me a hint? :D

no? ok lol

Three letters added to the beginning of an innocuous looking 4-ltr word (which you probably found easily).

this game is addicting

color me stunned-no one cares what you got

hmmm

hhhhhhmmmmmmm what?

i cant find the birth defect one :) lol

were do you go to get hints?

People have been posting the hints right here... Start at the bottom of the chat log and read your way up :-P

lol thanks

I'm stuck on the book one... :\

Me too - that and the birth defect one...

One of the girls in my BG lost a baby to that birth defect :(

what is "BG"?

Got it now spewie :( BG = buddy group. Common abbreviation on message boards.

BG = Buddy Group at Ovusoft where a lot of us came from :)

I hope it was clear that the :( was for the baby, not for getting the word :-\

I guessed that. I didn't think you were sad you found the word. lol Still need that book...

How many "z" words do you have? I have 5

yeah, my sister posts on there.. seh sucked at this and didnt understand it.. and now i play it ;)

i only have 5 z words also.. and the book one is only worth 40 points :/ i got it by luck lol

no 76 pointer, no book, and no birth defect. got the dance though, so feeling slightly less hopeless now...measly score though :(

I have a 4 letter book, but not a 7 letter... *shrugs* No flash and image 7 letter either.

ok, I give up. GN all

I have 8 Z words 68 words for 912 pts, but still missing the 4th 7

8?!?!? I could only find 5, and i have 81 words for around the same you have 68 lol :) im better at teh 4 letters ;)

I finally found the dance! Duh. lol

the 76 point dance or the 70's dance?

Got the book 7 pt one! WooHoo!

34 point dance. I'm not that good...LOL!!!

more help on the dances, please! does the 76 point one involve the z?

Clearly I am too stupid for this game - I have been at it an hour and this is my score: 7 words 4.43 85

yes

yes to the z in the 76 dance, not to BattyMom being stupid. LOL

This is sad. I'm seeing words and I can't remember if I used them yesterday or already today....

SweetPickle

9:06 pm

I'm still stuck on 78 words..got all 4 7s and 7 z words...I'm not seeing any 90+ words here!

I'm stuck at 63 words 4.48 809

I got my first 7! haha

Okay...is the "image" one a 6 or a 7????

I got a book-related thing but it's only 4 letters. There is a 7?

Darn if only Walter was allowed... Or if only there were some better placed "E"s I could have a Gopher to play with

There's a 6 and 7 image one

well darnit...I've had the 6... can't find the 7. grrrrrr

Same here

Hi Aimee- Welcome to my obsession.

Hi Jules...I should be packing. That's what Grandma's for tomorrow, right? :O

i cant find a 7 letter image/flash one, but there is a 5 and a 6 :/ and for the book, there are 3 letters you can add to teh beginning of it ;)

hapi ~ I can't get them either..

I've tried a zillion ways to get the book one, and I can't. >:( I should probably just go to bed.

Aimee- Get packing. I must go to bed. My vocab is fairly limited I've decided. 51 words 4.45 616

74 words 4.57/1011 ...and with that, I'm outtie.

geez... ive been at : 81 words 4.43 925 for the last 3 hours ehehhe

I can't seem to find the defect one.. i've looked for a while.. its just not coming to me ;) i dont think im going to break 1000 either.. chances are slim to none :)

I'm only at 29/357 but I left for several hours

I'm logging off to pack - I got on 40 min. ago. Final score: 26 words, 273 points (including the birth defect.) :`(

I can't figure out the 7 letter "book" or "image" argh!! this is driving me nuts!

i keep wanting to put sogmom in there.

Me too Marie! Those and the defect.

i cant find the defect or the image- bleh

right at a pitiful 48/4.44/582, i'm going to bed without a 7 letter book, a birth defect, a third dance, 8 z words, and 5/6/7 point flash-image words, i'm going to bed. i feel dumb today. :(

We need new hints :)

I found a bird! 6 letters :)

lol

a bird?! oh good grief...now I get to obsess about that too!!!

lol!!

is it a common bird? or something weird?

something weird

lol... i'll add "6 letter weird bird name" to the list of the words i'll never find, even if there were 72 hours left.. ;)

It's also a color, if I'm not mistaken ;)

oh, my bird is only 4 letters

lol, i have taht one *i think*

my color is only 4 letters!

hi Kahri & Heather

Hey Melissa :)

i don't think i will find any birds or birth defects

at least not in the puzzle

Hey Lin are you still on?

Lesley--FOUR sevens? wow. I have one. lol. and only 3 sixes.

it won't accept sitz...obviously the person that made this has not had children. LOL

lol yeah i tried that too...isn't risoto a word? or am i spelling it wrong?

SweetPickle

11:09 pm

butter - you are so right on the sitz thing.

runningforhome

11:09 pm

I think risotto is spelled with two 't's, unfortunately.

SweetPickle

11:09 pm

two t's in risotto I think.

this is painful

can someone tell me what exactly a sitz bath is? i don't know if i had one or not.

I think it has two S's... rissoto..I could be wrong, though.

nope, i was wrong..it's two T's

sitz bath... little tub of water they hook into the seat of a toilet, and it's got a big bag that attaches to it, to keep a steady stream of hot water flowing into it. Really sooths the girly bits after a tear or cut during childbirth.

a stiz bath is a small basin that fits on the toilet....you fill with warm water and let you bottom soak. Usually after childbirth.

oh i didn't get one of those.. i just sat in the jacuzzi

i tried sitz too...i was ticked! lol

hmm 45 minutes, i dont think im going to reach 1000 lol

i'm only at 711

me either...I'm at: 62 words 4.53 821

wooo i just got one! maybe i can! lol im at 939 now

i need a clue about the defect.

now just 50.. :/ i only have 2 seven letter words.. cant get those other ones.. the birth defect adn teh flash/image thing

The next puzzle is taking forever to get here, this one is annoying me. :p

i only have one 7 letter word, but in my defense, i was cleaning enfamil off of myself, the baby, and the couch for most of the evening. i am not really dumb.

:/ baby sick?

no, she just likes to spit on me.

lol.. thats unfortunate

yeah. i am just one gigantic spit rag.

my niece never really has spit up or drooled.. she has almost all her teeth now too, never went through that phase *knock on wood*

whoo hooo!! Another "z" word!! That makes 7 "z" words for me. :D

I finally got a Z word too!

Olivia is just a cutie-patootie. :D Renee is in my BG. :)

heheh i just got 2 more z's, im up to 7, but i think someone has 8+..
