Woot evening all...
Rats, it won't take soylent.
when do they post the stats?
evening.. good luck on this one everyone!
got a 7 letter!!!
you can almost get envoy ;)
i am happy to report that "alot" isn't a valid word.
"a lot" is, however. ;)
An 8!!!!
i have an 8 for 55 points
9 for 72
ok i'm going to bed... so far 45/4.24/314 not bad...lol better than the other one... POOF
an 8 for 40
so far i have 23 words 4.83 326 im liking this one a lot better ;)
soylent - the first of many that were rejected today..... as a little girl at work used to say "it's so flustrating!"
twolaner went the way of alot.
47 words but only 342. Nertz.
nertz isn't there.
:-P
weird; subaltern's a word, but altern isn't
101 words but nothing over 6
an 8 for 45 ;)
ooh i got an 8 for 45 :)
hint for the 45? Please? :)
starts with a "n"
teh highest "n" and works down
Newbie here..
teh 9 letter word for 72 also starts with that "n" but works more west from there ;)
Oooh, I can post a hint without knowing what the word is. The 8 for 45 has either a G or a D in it (but not both).
a 7 for 56
re: the 8 - oh how nice; thank you! the 40 pt. 8 is bright
117 with only the 40-pont 8 off to bed...
118 / 1153. Missing the 9 and some 7/8 also but it's a start. night all! (:
137 words 4.79 1520 is what i have so far- slow going for me.. im tired tonight lol
my 8 for 45 doesn't have either G or D in it :-/
my 8 for 45 has a d in it
Duh...mine did...can I blame baby brain? lol
pregnant? you can blame it on placenta brain.. bf'ing? you can blame it on that ;)
you can almost put tylenol ;)
It sorta has to, given the board (G and D are the only 2-point letters) and the method of scoring (an 8 letter word worth 45 points needs a letter score of 9, for which the only possibility is 7 1's and a 2).
Hey, I'm pregnant AND breastfeeding. :)
Pregnant...total placenta brain! lol...3rd time round makes it three time as bad :-P
lol!!
Playing today, but won't have a chance to babble tonight, so all my work will be in the next 25 mins.....here goes. It's a good job my rankings are already shot :( or I wouldn't play at all.
head's fuzzy, g'night. 109/1050.
231 words//4.68//2391 well im off to bed night everyone have fun ;) enjoy!
Divine Miss - I'd guess your 8 is worth 40 not 45 points. right??
169 words 4.75 1880
2x8 2x9
Two 7s, two 8s (40 each) no nines, but lots of birds, fish and heroin....
I have played this game so much, I find myself spelling words on road signs and wondering if they fit in the grid 228 words 4.85 2763
And I'm outraged that the game didn't take TRON
And I'm outraged that the game didn't take TRON
Morning Christine,I sent an EMail
260 words 4.87 3148 chief bulldog will fight no more forever
i'm still 203rd in the ranking.
"Divine Miss - I'd guess your 8 is worth 40 not 45 points. right??" Christine, it's deffinately a 45 pointer ;)
I believe you OH Divine One ;op my first word is 8 for 45 [tu] now keep seeing synagogue and tylenol...LOL wish I had have started earlier, have a very early one! xxx
Watch it, Divine - I don't like the suggestion I may've made an error.....I have younger sisters playing on this board, and a reputation to maintain.
How many 9's are there? I've already found 2, is that it?
I don't think stats have been posted for this puzzle. Any clues for the 9's? ;o)
Back at it again...7 1/2 month old eating cat food. Why must he interrupt my word making????
soylent...nope...Soylent Green is people, ya know
Ive been playing almost a week now and Im still not ranked.... sigh.
The rankings are still screwy. I haven't moved despite breaking 1,000 pts for the last 2 puzzles. *shrug* 108 words / 4.52 / 1003, calling it a nite! Seeya later...
I think somebody needs to update their dictionary list! It won't take stent, but it will take a word that, as far as I can find, is only a word in Spanish . . .
Yeah it took a french word also.....
Hmm - I don't think it's taken a word from me yet that's only French. I'll have to keep looking for that one. I have several that are words in both French and English. And it wouldn't take selon, which is French for "according to". Maybe it's only foreign words that are well known by Enlish speakers. LOL!
now that I think about it it might be an english word..i just remember that 1 word from a project we had to do senior year in french class. we had to find 50 words on a list and we have to make copies of them in the context and this was one. makes me feel OLD
I can't believe it won't take 'stent' either. /: Considering some of what it WILL take, especially.
There's definitelt something screwy in the rankings.. Bulldog gets higher scores, but her ranking is below mine.... hmmm, I think this proves Sir God loves me best
Tolinya - do I know you from PG? :)
Yes yes it's Apryl..sigh...
and i'm stuck at 49 words although i did gte 2-7 letter words...not good at seeing them backwards..oh and the babysitter said thanks for introducing her to a new addiction...hehe
teehee - your babysitter said you were at swim lessons last night - I knew it was you! :) How you doing? I just started...
I have 10 4 letter words. Not seeing the big ones today. :(
yup we went to swim lessons and i worked out..thankfully he's stopped wailing when we put him in the childcare at the y so we can actually work out
*big yawn* morning ya'll
yeah there was a word yesterday that i had no idea what it was..had to look it up
i have all 4's and a couple of 5 & 6's.
oh my goodness!!! i've been up for 4 1/2 hours i wish i could just get up now!!! granted it's nice having 2 computers...1 to surf internet, etc and then work laptop..the benefit of working from home...
19 words - mostly 4's, a few 5's and 6's. Gotta work now...see ya!
I'm guesing bazo0ka doesn't live in the eastern U.S. ;)
eh i'm on the west coast well relatively the west coast...one big earthquake and i'd be on the west coast...lol
Tolinya - we'd have ocean front property, huh?
Hi! I'm new, and I really stink at this. I can't get any words over 4 letters!
Is the 9-letter word super-obscure, or am I going to hit myself over the head when I finally find it? :p
I haven't found it yet and I looked at the nonhints down below and still couldn't find it clearly my brain is not ready for the 9 letter words...hey the 2 7's were found last night maybe i need to get warmed up...heheh and oh yeah definatly ocean front property you more so than me...
I never even found a 7 letter last night or today. :(
i'm s'posed to be working....
yeah i'm working on a crisis for one of my customers...their leases are all hosed...i've got 2 other chat windows open and 2 spreadsheets...hehe...I'm the Queen of Multitasking...
made it to 50.....YEAH
if i get caught playing at work, i'll have them call you! This is all your fault... 29/4.55/246
locoporgallinas - it will grow on you as you start to figure out more patterns! :D
Tell them it's mind stimulation or something like that..hehe or better yet..it's a pop up window...you were searching for a phone number on dexonline and got a popup. Then act clueless....
I LOVE the ones you don't know, but try anyway and they WORK!!! Have no clue what the last 3 words are or mean.
loco- just an fyi...41 of my words are 4 letter...we all have to start somewhere...lol
BooMom - Those are great! But now I can't believe some of the words I'm finding myself trying, just in case. Oh, and if anyone was wondering. "jelator" is not a word. LOL!
I have a 7! NO idea what it means...another fluke. LOL
Neither is gonlan. :(
Will have to hunt for that obscure 7! I have 2 7's, but they are both everyday English words. Hmmmmm. . .
where are the stats for today? where do people get them from anyways?
No one has posted the stats. There seem to be two people (Ysegrim, and I can't remember the other) who have programs that can calculate the stats for any given puzzle. I tried to find something online that would do it, but no luck. And I'm just not that good at programming, so hopefully someone will post them soon!
yeah they'd be nice to have especiallly since now i know what i'm doing...and lotaned isn't a word either...hehe..back to work up to 51 words..another 4 letter
yeah my 2 7's were everyday average as well...think we got the same ones
Does that 7 that you don't know what it means have 56 points, or is that yet another one?
my 2 7's were only 28 pts...rats
ok so it just took a 4 letter and when i clicked on the dictionary thing to find out what it meant..there was no entry??? 'splain that one lucy
Tolinya, Often, Babble will accept words that are not in its own dictionary. We refer to it as babble welfare. It makes up in some small way for those words that we all know exist but that it refuses to accept. Go figure!
Babble welfare...lol thanks for the "definition" lawyer!!
240 words 5.00 3169
holy schiznit batman!!! you go!
and i thot I was doing good at 125 and 1120
many moons ago (4:35am log time) bulldog posted 260/4.87/3148 I can only dream . . . 186/4.64/1861 and struggling to find the big words
So, I guess that means lawyer-1 found more big words than bulldog, and bulldog found more little ones. That's a lot of words!
yeah i live on teh west coast.. i didnt go to sleep until 3/4am.. *i hate insomnia* then i got up at 8am.. so *YAWN* lol :)
what's insomnia?
Do you want quality or quantity?
again, what's insonmia?
anyone have any g words?
yes
hum, i didn't think it was possible
lawyer-1: BOTH!! ;-D I want it *all*! It's always fun to read the lists from you & bulldog & bazo0ka the day after and be awed!
if you look long enough it's possible. Sometimes it works out beter when you take a break for a little while.
ah! i got it
was there only one?
nevermind
6 or more.
meggiemoo -- insomnia: inability to sleep; I think Babble *causes* this, not a cure for it! ;) g word: there's a simple 4, just think of Margaret Mitchell's famous novel ;-D
that'd help greatly if i knew who that was ;)
I've got 8 words beginning with G, including 2 6's & 1 7. Lawyer-1 - I also want it all. :D
omg, i'm an idiot, ok, i already got that one
I have only 3 *g* words
well, i've got 2....hum
10 g words here.
There are at least 18 words beginning with "g"
gee!
yikes!
how many "J" words, if u kno?
Once again, I think I'm cool until lawyer shows up. d:
I've got 8 of those as well, but I'm afraid to hear how many lawyer-1 has. :p
if laywer is really a lawyer, then i'd expect them to be smart ;)
where are teh stats for this puzzle? i like to know how many i am missing ;)
you are both very good from the stats, and besides, it's really just u against the game
not stats, rankings. my bad
is a lot 2 words or one?
haha, nevermind
It's 2 words. As 1 word it's allot, meaning to allocate or dole out.
I have 8 "j" words
10 J words here
nine j words here... that tenth one is eluding me!
only 5 here
11 j words here.
People keep making it harder and harder to find all the j's! :D And I was so sure I had another one. Jove should be there! According to dictionary.com it means "tin" to an alchemist. So even if "by jove" is considered slang or capital, that should fit. But no. :( So, for those with many j words. Are any of them longer than 6 letters?
one of my j words is a 7. Now if only I could find more than one 9! (;
Oh! I just found the 7-letter j word. I almost cried out with surprise in my cubicle! One more to go, at least . . .
can u believe that indeed isnt a word
Lorelei, No I can't, but I can believe that "indeed" is not in this board.
267 / 2719 I am having the hardest time finding "long" words. 7 or 8 sevens, I think, and 2 8's. I can't find a nine. :( I think I might give up, as I've been at this for awhile.
my friend just pointed me here... i've gotta go but my first attempt got me to 118/4.58/1151. i really wanted to break 4.6 but i don't think it's gonna happen right now. oh well! great game... catch y'all later!
dang...if they let u repeat words id have a lot...
why isn't 'snortle' a word? That's what I call my little ones when they have bad attitudes! ;-D
30 words /4.40 /214
30 words /4.40 /214
how many words are in this puzzle?
No one has posted the total stats yet. But, given the few high word count scores posted, there are probably in the ballpark of 300, if not more.
19 g words
I keep wanting to make 'gelatin' ;-P
and ontology
bulldog: how many Y words do you have? I only have one from long ago. Still haven't found the 9s ;-P
I keep seeing 'seven' and 'governs'.
one y word
one nine starts with "n" the other with "s"
287 words 4.87 3509
bulldog, I can't seem to find either nine letter word - the one with s or with n :(
the s word is two words put together and the n word starts with a prefix
both words have at least one s in them
The n one is a three-letter prefix upon a six-letter word (and that six is a plural of a five). Did that make the slightest bit of sense? The s one is a compound word.
bulldog and runningforhome, Thanks, Still searching though.
Uggh - Found the 9-letter n word. I can't believe that's even a word. (rolls eyes)
even with all those hints...i still suck lol
Still have not found any 8 or 9 letter words despite the hints:(
we're apparently in the same boat peri
:)
that boat is getting crowded cuz I have no 8's or 9's either
I keep trying all kinds of combos and keep getting the OOPS
How many j words are there. I have 2 so far.
Getting really tired of the OOPS
There are at least eleven j-words, but I only have nine.
I now have 4 j words but two were just guesses
6 J words, woo hoo, now if only I could find an 8 or 9 letter word.
bulldog, 19 g words? I only found 6 so far.
I'm tired. Good night. 90 , 4.45,773
11 "j" words
Tolinya, 70 words at 566 points. Six letters is my longest so far.
I've got eight 'J' words, three 'O', one 'A', one 'G', four 'V's and one 'Y'. Any clues you can pass?
I'm a long way from lawyer-1 but I have 7 As, 7 Vs and 5 Os so far. 2 Vs have to do with electricity, 2 with rodents; an O is the name my grandmother always used for margarine, also a resin. HTH! ;-D
I understand the pattern for the 9 but am so frustrated that not only do I clearly NOT have the 5/6 root/suffix, I'm so dense I can't find it! Aaaarrrgh! ;-P
128/4.59/1188 2-7'S, 1-8, NO 9'S (Joey)
ugh!!! beating head on keyboard! found the 9!!! somehow missed the point that it was 72 pts and wasted time in the wrong corner of the grid. At least I just picked up 5 more words out of the deal! ;-D
woo, got the n 9! The s 9 still defeats me.
have any hints for the n nine?
It didn't start with the n I expected.
(giggling hysterically) in looking for compound words that begin with S . . . searching, searching . . . sealsnot No, you can't really make that word, but I'm getting tired and silly! ;-D
silly gal! sealsnot is only an 8! ;-)
I bet I'm going to feel really silly once I figure out this 9-lttr N word. Which N tile does it begin on?
top N
OK, that's where I was looking. *sigh*
you won't feel silly, it's a ridiculous word.
damn, just 10 points away from 1500...
How is everybody doing on this puzzle? I wonder why no one has posted the result numbers?
wow! I just got an 8 with a Spanish word!
could someone tell us which S the 9 starts from?
14 sevens
five eights two nines
s in in lower right
silly, ridiculous...just wish I could figure it out!
it has 4 e's
bulldog ~ the E or N 9'er?
wow, I was thinking it couldn't possibly be that s 'cause there's nowhere to go...
At least I seem to be consistent -- I'm always at least 50% behind bulldog! ;-P 1x9, 3x8, 4x7 still looking for compound S word . . .
cheif bulldog will hint no more, till he finds is way out of position 203 in the rankings.
fair 'nuff! ;o)
(shakes head) found the S 9 -- what a word! thanks for the hints bulldog!
okay, that s word is for the birds.
Hey fixit ~ check your email! ;o)
Don't know why I help you, you are 150 places ahead of me in the rankings. :(
sleeky, is that a hint or a complaint? ;)
I'm really trying hard to move up in the rankings, so if everybody could just top playing for a few days. or even better only play one four letter word it would really help me out . Thanks.
Just a competitive person and I am laughing very hard right now, no offense intended
30 n words
Oh, I'm with ya Bulldog. Keep checking my rankings and am frustrated they haven't been updated. But this is all for fun, right??
16 r words
don't know why I'm ahead of you in the rankings -- I've only played for about a week and I'm *always* well behind you!! I didn't think the rankings have changed in the last couple of days so I would just guess they're screwed up, not having any idea how they are achieved. Just looking at the daily puzzle results I *know* you're well ahead of me, no matter *what* the rankings say.
fun, huh? I've actually thought about not playing unless my ranking moves up. Then I realize that the only person that would care would be me and I continue to play. :(
I think that if you play a game and don't score very high you can really hurt your ranking. more so if you haven't really played many games. I really haven't played for very long and I have no reason to expect a higher ranking, I really am not that concerned, just devoting a great deal of time to the game. It is very good mental exercise. and I got 4 w words
Gasp! I have 30 Ns too! But only 8 Rs ;-)
I enjoy your posts Bulldog, your success gives me something to strive towards. I'm tickled to death to learn I've found 4 W's as well! :oP
I haven't moved in the rankings at all and I know I'm playing much, much better. (Especially since my husband has joined me. ;-) ) And yes, that was a hint!
\P.S. no one else I've checked has moved at all either, in days. I do'n't think they're gettign updated.
I moved three days ago, from 168 - 203
So basically, if I was worried about my ranking, then it probably wasn't a good idea to start with puzzle with only an hour left ;P
Where are you all seeing the rankings? If I ever look, I usually check some peoples' word lists to see the words I just could not find.
Top o' the page my good man next to the star that says player rankings.
Thank you but I am afraid I am a good woman not man. :) I will go check that out right away!
Don't get too excited, they don't update after every puzzle as described.
Boy, if that were any more obvious it would have bit me. Sorry for my ignorance. I think the puzzle tends to distract me. That or I am very tired today and need to get to bed!
Thanks fixitfmly. The four 'V's you mentioned are the ones I have. But I'm gonna work on those 'A's. Thanks!!
Thanks Jemper, I was a little concerned there. I don't think I will check that all too often.
Yes, it's a little frustrating (hence the conversation earlier with Bulldog).
Sorry Jemper, I have not been keeping up with the conversations today-trying too hard to get the points!
Really it was a diatribe on my part. I've actually filled out a comment page. I should let it go but it isn't in my nature to do so, hence the nickname bulldog. 34 L words
Got the seven 'A's!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw c'mon, Seaotter, ya know everyone is on this board for the titillating chat log! ;o)
It is late and there are no stats
Ya know, this 26 minutes left thing has me getting a bit panic stricken. Yikes. Tomorrow, I will be able to leisurely peruse the comments! ;)
gads. FINALLY got that 9 letter s.
That 9 letter S word is gonna drive me bananas!
I'm trying to get it too. Arrrrgghhh!
the s word couldn't possible drive you bannanas, in fact if you were one of the type outlined by the s word you would definately head off any fruit tree in the past. taunt taunt. there are many many clues about the s word earlier in the log
I did it! I found it. G' night!
Thanks bulldog!
I tell bad jokes, huh?
Yeah. But very beneficial ones! :0
Got the S 9 with 2 minutes to go!!! Woot!!!
82/684 not bad...sigh
And its one very stupid word lol
i have 8 a's (and very few points, didn't play well after work tonight)
wow i didn't get very many words this time.. i've been too busy for babble ;) lol
argh still not getting it
Bulldog ~ thanks for your bad joke! ;o)
ok i give what was it
Tolinya, I got 101 words, 817 points. Woot!!
Woot you go girl
86 words, 926 points. Not bad for an hour's work!!
