53 words 4.51 580
9! I thought I was doing well with a 7!
panini isn't accepted - ?
57 / 4.70 / 727 Had to put that up so I can say just once in my life, for one fleeting moment, I'm doing better than lawyer ...
I've still only got 6's -- way to go!
rotfl!
Atalante, You flatter me. I like that!
:)
61 words 4.64 746
would play more but need sleep, be back later. 52/615.
woohoo! That is one cool 9 letter word
62 / 4.77 / 848
How about a hint on the nine? I've only got sixes so far.
ohhh its hard to give a clue for ... add to a 6 letter word and its very very unpleasant
hi, somewhat new so don't know what type of hints are appropriate but the one I've got is an old medical technique, not commonly done nowadays
Hmmm....10 people got the same (and presumably max) score yesterday. Lawyer-1 and bulldog are of course old hands at this....but a lot of newcomers did well....congratulations. ;)
just call me synical ;)
anyone else keep seeing Panda (no it doesn't fit!
I have gotten all the words twice, both happened this week, and during the same time period I lost 40 places in the rankings.
Yeah, the rankings seem fairly screwed. Thanks for the tip, by the way; I got the nine.
I 100% know bulldog that you got your max score the good old way, and am full of admiration for those who do.
hey Karen good clue... Cheers :D
Thanks *bashful*
77 words 4.75 1019
I always look at lawyer-1's score ...half it and think if I get to that I'll be pleased ;) :))
ditto..I always think I'm doing well until I look at lawyer's score. d:
I am sure that the lawer is being honest too.64 words 4.62 742
goes without saying bulldog!!
How many 'q' words have you lot managed?
one q word but haven't been trying over in that area much.
well I'm beat. Bedtime here. 64 / 863...night all!
If all of you suffered from insomnia as I do, you would have plenty of time to Babble and get high scores. It is now 2:38 a.m. here, I have all day and night to rack my brain over this and even do some random typing. To sleep; perchance to dream!
ok, this newbie's out of here 67 896
sorry 67 / 896
good score karen.... i only get 20 mins before work then maybe 30 mins to an hour in the evening....look forward to being ill so I can post a good score...thats why I like difficult ones with less words, more chance of getting a better score in less time!!!LOL
Hi Angie!

hey bulldog...teacher here too!!! What age do you teach? I have another 2 weeks before the summer hols!!
heck, Im still on just 54
Anyone know that atoz website that you can get help on words?
Is this it? http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/
isn't using a word finder cheating?
I don't think so. Frankly, my vocabulary isn't robust enough for these puzzles. So, I identify what I can, then use the wordfinder to help find the ones I missed. Some may call it cheating, but it keeps me in the puzzle longer. *shrug*
I cant find anything over a six!
[quote]isn't using a word finder cheating?[/quote] Is using a dictionary cheating? Is giving hints cheating? Heck some might say that the stats given here is cheating. Do what you feel comfortable doing ... in the end it's just me against the puzzle ~ I know what I know, I know what new words I've learned and I know what words I got lucky with by just typing in letters and letting it rip. ;)
i bet you've got a better vocabulary than me ;)
eyezzz ~ You said it far better than I could have! ;o)
(or did, for that matter)
Is there anyway to see the answers to old puzzles?
giving/getting hints isn't cheating because it doesn't flat out tell u the word, dictionaries isn't exactly cheating, u still have to look for the words, stats isn't cheating either, because they only say the limits and nothing else. But a word finder (hints the name) FINDS WORDS, and that is all we are doing in this puzzle. So, some can use it and not be cheating (like jemper) because they are using it AFTER they have found all the words they can and don't take credit in their minds for the computer's answers.
granadan, Click on "Archives" at the top to see old games.
Ah, I think we are using the term "wordfinder" differently. The website I'm using is basically an online dictionary, though it does have some powerful search functions (give me words starting or ending with [insert letter combo]). It does NOT, however look at the puzzle and tell me what all of the words are.
I think eyezzz said it best ~ it's really between you and puzzle, only you will really know how you got the words on your list. :o)
40 words / 4.85 / 585 Calling it a nite for now! G'nite all, have fun while I'm sleeping...
Its not cheating. You still have to find the words. It just helps with some of the obtuse words and helps you spell them right. You still have to use your mind.
81 / 1005 time to call it a night soon i think
100 words 4.77 1345 Finally found the 8 letter word, and im off to bed for real now :)
Marianne..... are yoou playing??? {is it today or tomorrow - I can never remember...}
Good evening, Jemper. I'm doing this at work - I figure if everyone else can take smoke breaks all day, I can take a Babble break :)
sorry - she signed off
krista ... you still there?
76/4.75/1024 and cant think anymore
Hey girl - yep, I'm here off an on - you know, minimize the screen while I "work" - ha
Chruistine I'm here for a very short while, then I will come back.
Ive got to 61 and totally stumped. Cant find anything over a 6 eitther!
Ok i thought i got this game but i guess not...sigh. i got 1 word and no the other ones i see don't work??? any hints/tips (i read the directions 3 times now..hehe)
And oh yeah I've thought about panda like 15 times also....
hello everyone.. first time for me. this game is annoyingly addictive
Krista - YEA, me too!
i think i keeps my brain stimulated and I am therefore more productive here :) I only have 47 words tho. :(
Wahey - found the 9 letter word, first time I've ever found one! Still miles off finding most of the others though.
Woot made it to 2 words...
woot 8 words plus 1 random 6 letter...think i got it figured out...random babble...hehe
Your 'eye' for words will develop - it gets easier with every puzzle - also, try combinations that you dont even think are words - you may be surprised
9 letters! You go!
Hehe, this game is cool...It reminds me of the Quiddler game at www.setgame.com....
9! I still cant get over a 6 today :-((
I can't get any words over 4 letters...:(((
locoporgallinas -- try looking for -ed endings for 3&4 letter words you find ;-D
Hi fixit - how many do u have now?
50 words... phew... how can you find 100??
Aha. Found a 7
i'll never get 100 today - only have 48 now
krista ... you're doing better than me .. i've only got 25! :)
krista -- have 41 right now -- haven't worked on it much. The kids seem to think they need a mom or something! ;-D My time to work on this puzzle is really after bed time . . . and then DH calls it a 'colossal waste of time'! HA! I think he only says that b/c he can't spell . . . nothing to do with the fact that I should be mopping my floor now . . .
ooh i got teh 8 and 9 letter one after the other
i think this is all im goign to be able to do today 104 words//4.75//1335 busy busy day today *sigh* good luck everyone! have fun ;)
Like I said the other day...this work/kids stuff has to go. I have words to find! This is really funny for me because I have always ribbed people who sit around playing solitaire, etc. ..hood1999 - but i bet you have done a lot more at work today than I!
any hints on the nine letter word....i've been staring at this thing for too long trying to find that word
theres some hints further back in the chat log .... :)
use your BRAIN!!
Just got one 9 letter word. My first ever !
Woot made it to 10 words..thanks for the >er ending..lol and also >ed endings..(came up with that all by myself!!) still don't get it and clearly missing the clues...lol eh it's all good
I have a 7+ month old son and I can't believe it took me this long to find a word that has to do with him at least 7 times a day. (;
hello!
Hey I've got a 7 1/2 month old as well..it was the 2nd word I thought of...lol!!!
Why won't it take ninnie? Not sure I like this puzzle. Yesterdays was hard but I liked it better.Ony 31 words at 307. Can't see anymore.
I believe 'ninny' is with the 'y', not the 'ie'.
eh it didnt' take that either...
diad is a word and it won't take that
what about wipe? it won't take wipe either
hey laura (laura b by any chance????) - I tried that one the other day - turns out it's spelled 'dyad!'
can't do wipe
Well it won't take druid either....
HEY K... on so quickly I see :-) See how your bad habits spread :-) Just hanging out waiting for stragglers
ok so 'splain why i can't do wipe? (maybe that's the part of this i'm not getting)
Tolinya - the letters have to "touch;" you can't skip letters...LAURA - i'm just taking a break from u-know-what till my dinner gets here. >:( And I knew you'd be back. This is how it starts. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
So K.. total words? total points? Did you leave your pasta salad for me for my dinner?
The letters in wipe are not all connected in a line. It doesn't have to be a straight line, but they all have to be connected, one right after the other. Wipe is not.
You're welcome to polish it off - carbs and all. I'm up to 54/580. Certainly don't have any 72-pt words!
I have a measley 36 with 440 pts
BTW.. you had a straggling fax
thought to self (man, I could be at the track instead of number crunching)
Ok..fine be difficult...now I really have to think...lol!
And number crunching? Don't you mean letter crunching???
was just going to ask you if any came in..I know who from...I think you may need to consult a social worker about your addictive behavior. ;)
multi tasking
Tolinya...I can almost hear you scanning for words now!
gosh i have two of the three words with "m" in it and i just cant seem to find the other *sigh*
yay.. nevermind! :D got it
I did and she said it was OK because I make big bucks... HA HA HA HA HA
Hey I still haven't resorted to looking at that website. And I think I'm on a roll just got 5 words...see what happens when people tell you how the "game" works....lol
missing the last 7 but man I think I'm done. 104 /1470. ah well. (:
Yummy - my fried chicken is here...catch you all later/tomorrow. :)
MMMM must go take child to swim lessons....might play more later...
Marianne -- are you here? I think my brain is just toooo tired - only 56 words for 634 points and the longest words are only sixes.... hmmm, I used to think I had a good vocabulary - perhaps those hours doing crossword puzzles were not as productive as I thougt.
ok i think im done.. might come and pick at it later though, if i get that bored ;) 116 words//4.78//1523 have fun, see ya'll later ;)
Tolinya - think I know you from PG...It's BJ - you still on?
Tolinya is off at the Y with her kid doing swim lessons. I'm her babysitter. She just showed me this game today. I've been on for just over an hour with 34 words for 361 pts. I'm burnt out for now. Later all !
woh, i got a 50-score word
im missing 15 *sigh*
Any hints on the 8??
it starts with a "d"
thank you!
:o I got the 9!!!
I ws just lookingover the stats and I noticed something wrong!! At 03:49 am Ysegrim said... The stats: Words / Points: 131/ 1788 Max points/word: 72 Word length distribution: 1x3, 61x4, 39x5, 26x6, 3x7, 1x8, 1x9 1x3 ????????
Maybe that means there are only 130 words to find...?
there a word with only 3 tiles but 4 characters :)
Duh! The scoring recognizes it as 2 letters, but a non-babble program wouldn't :-P I feel silly not catching that earlier! :-P
if you add the figures together it equals 132!
aHA! Mystery solved.
These D words are giving me a headache. :oP
115 words 4.82 1569
Well, from a six I got the nine, but it won't accept the eight that relates to the words???
1 hour tolinya - are you on?
122 words 4.81 1648 I'm calling it a night! Happy hunting!
Darn, penii isn't a valid word :p
Lol - tried that one myself! LOL
That's it - I'm tired...need to sleep. I give up. Never did find the 9 letter word. :( 40/4.75/533
geez i've been missing 15 forever, im just not seeing htem today
just as I was about to quit in disgust . . . finally found that 9!!!! The 7s and 8s *still* elude me ;-P brain drain
Ok I'm on now apparently I'm "needed" lol
hate to give up . . . but I just keep seeing 'non-words' like pewter and pendant ;-P I'll just have to check the archives tomorrow for bulldog, lawyer or bazo0ka's lists to see what I missed ;) Night all!
woot up to 32
Found the 8 - what a strange word!
well i have 121 and really cant find anymore
Guess this is all for me...36/4.42/374

Well, I found the 8, the 9, and I broke a thousand. I'm happy!
