damn you beat me! lol
i used the 'z'
A whopping 87 words today.
I only had 166
I only had 166
There's a 7 for 40.
i used the "z" too, and sorry for the double message
there's a 7 for 48
5 words with the z so far!
nighters all... poof
night night Tolinya
there's a swear word for 7
And its plural for 16.
awesome! can you hint for the 48 one? possibly..
It won't take afro? Lame.
this puzzle is giving me the runs. ;-)
hint for the 48...what cops do
I dunno if the runs was a clue? but hopefully you're all alright over there. don't be too hard on the toilet. soooo even with knowing that clue, i'm still failing o figure it out
the cops clue i meant
sara- you already have the runs, i believe.
mmm i do
43 words/448
21...i give up
I have four words using the z... anyone have more?
I have three which start with z, and three others with z's in them.
I have the same as Q
The cops clue ~ it's a prefix on a five letter word.
I have 1 that starts with z may I know how many letters the other 2 are
4 and a 5, related to each other.
Hoy Gorgeous should'nt you be working ?? ;) LOL tisk.. tisk
50/632 goodnight.
Ooopsy *I* DIDNT SAY THAT!! LMAO!!
Thanks got the other 2 z's
i'm still lost about the cop.....good night everyone
what coppers do is a very clever play on words. But try this for definition Meat, such as duck, that has been salted and then cooked and preserved in its own fat. A condiment made by cooking seasoned fruit or vegetables, usually to a jamlike consistency
Can anyone tell me what the 7 swear words starts with please
Sara - you found 166 words in 10 minutes? Wow, girl!! So far, 39 words for 456 points - I have three starting with Z, three containing Z. I have the 7 for 48, but can't yet find the 7 for 40. Back to my book - see y'all later.
Only 9 more but where are they lol
anyone used the 'V'?
Not me
1) Mellowmasher -- only 9 more what?? 2) Runningforhome had 87 words after only 9 minutes?? 3) What IS this 7 for 40? Any clues, anyone??? Life is soooo hard; all I really want to do is spend a couple of hours away from the grid...
I thought runningforhome said there was 87 words today?
Oh - but Sara has 166?? I really want to quit, for a while, but that 7/40 is driving me dotty...
The only 7's I have are 2x48 1x40 and 1x52 I think there must be another
Lol no Sara had 166 yesterday I think
I think we'rre the only ones awake - it's 2:50am in Los Angeles... where are you?
uk its nearly lunchtime
Thank goodness -- I may be able to find 87 words (I have 47, so far), but I wouldn't hold my breath, looking for 166.
lol have 78 but can see anymore think I will have a break and come back later
I have 2 7's. One for 48 and one for 40. mellowmasher says there's another for 48 AND one for 52? I was already pleased with the two I found.
aha - 7 for 52 is connected with 7 for 40. now for the other 7/48
Can't stay away too long... any clues for the 7s? I have only the one pertaining to police procedure.
think greasy
ConXshun - thanks for the clue - I had the four letter word, already, and tried to expand it in a direction it couldn't go.... now, to try for the 7/40. Thanks again.
All those Es and Rs - all in the wrong place, and, for the most part, nusable.
I'm stuck at 65 / 816. Tearing myself away from keyboard....
NUSABLE?? I dunno. Had another look at the grid... the two Rs in the lower left corner, and the V seem to be unusable.
I think granadan may be confusing two 7s. ;) There is one that is what cops do, and another that fits the meat/condiment definitions. But they're not the same word, though both for 48 points.
70/905 looking for more! 2xA 5xC 5xE 15xF 2xH 1xL 4xN 2xO 1xR 21xS 9xT 3xZ
Make that 4xH
jlm mi - I have nearly the same as you. less 'F's and 'S's, two more 'O's and 3 more 'T's. Any more/different clues on the meat/condiment thingy?
I have 7xC, 4xF, 3xO.
JLM -- I have 4xH so far but am way behind in all the other counts.
The meat/condiment thingy I always associate with duck. It's a French food/way of preparing food.
Sorry, I meant 4xH, not 4xF.
thanks Jlm mi. I was on the right track, but being a little over enthusiastic looking for 'U's and things - abit tricky in this grid! It was more simple than i thought. ;)
64 843 3 'z's? hmmm
3 "L" though
Any help with T words? I have 7x4 and 2x5.
Jlmi mi - just checking the 'T's. I also have 7x4 and 2 x 5. either I miscounted before or two dissapeared whilst USA was offline and not available for europe. Sorry for the mixup - and perhaps frustrating waste of time? :§
make that three disappeared... there's something wrong with my logical brain. i think it melted in the nice warm weather we're having (for a change)!
Thanks for clearing it up! Though I've got only 78 words, so there must be more words starting with some letters. :-D
stuck at 70 / 920
stevedallas.... I only have one L may I ask how many letters in your 3 L's please
I'm not steve, but I 2x4 and 1x5. The 5 is a plural of one of the 4s. No idea what the 4/5 combo means.
Thanks got them now only another 4 words to go
mellowmasher - can you add to this list? 2xA 7xC 5xE 15xF 4xH 3xL 4xN 4xO 1xR 21xS 9xT 3xZ 4x7, 6x6, 22x5, 46x4
I have 77/999, and the exact same letter count as jlm except I only have 3xO. But I know we don't have the same list, because I have 8 6's.
I found that O I was missing... 78/1006 now, and same count as jlm :)
Yeah, I'm at 78/990 so you definitely have more high-point words than me.
85 words 4.64 1123 2xA 9xC 5xE 16xF 4xH 3xL 4xN 5xO 1xR 24xS 9xT 3xZ If there are 87 words, I cannot, for the life, of me find the other two words. I am done for the day!
Thanks claws! I have direction again. :)
4x7, 9x6, 24x5, 48x4
claws - it probably won't help you find what you're looking for, but some info: The solver I used showed 85 words with 3x7, 8x6, 25x5, 49x4. I checked the 7s after finding them all (4), however, and it does not have the duck/meat word. I'm guessing it also does not have it in singular form. So, if you are missing any words it's probably 1x4 and 1x5.
I have 6xE if thats any help
Christine - haha, I wish I had 166, no I found all those yesterday! I'm only at like 30 today....I'm trying to figure out the cop clue that granadan gave me. thank you by the way for that clue. *sigh* this puzzle is harder.
im sara - Check out my 8:11 post
oh and p.s - what's a solver? there's something that cn actually give you the amount of words...? or am I being quite dumb?
Yes, it solves the puzzle. It gives the entire word list, so in order to not make the game boring, you have to not look at the list, just the word counts. It does not use the same dictionary as babble, though, so it is not always 100% correct.
thank you jlm_mi! I found the duck meat word, but didn't get 40 points for it. wow, i'm doing this without a solver. and it's super hard. where do you get a solver?
The duck meat word for 40 points has 7 letters. . . I don't think you want to use a solver to solve the puzzle do you? It's no fun at all to type in a list of words someone else came up with. I, and others, have used them to get a total word count and/or number of words of each length. Generally, that information gets posted here by one or more people during the day. But, if you want to play around with a solver, you can google or yahoo search for them.
no no, I just want a word count too, that's all. as for the word, I only got 6 letters, and I don't know how to get seven...unless it can be plural.
k made it plural and got 48...soooo I dunno where the 40 is coming from. I have 7 letters.
sometimes you just feel like an idiot. Been staring at that z trying to make more than one word for hours and finally it hit me in the face!
You're right, it's 7/48 just like the cop word. There is another 8 for 40.
Make that a 7 for 40, not an 8.
What does the meat/condiment/duck word start with? I'm totally stumped.
i personnaly like the word "econosize" thats what they sell at costco and sams club
or the plural econosizes a nice 10 letter word
jlm_mi I'm still stuck. Is it 7 for 40, or 8 for 40? I'm so confused. I just found the word, got 33, and then made it plural and got 48. runningforhome - it starts with a "C"
7/40. I retracted the 8/40 - it was a typo. You've gotten one 7/48, is that right? It's the plural of the duck word. There are other clues throughout the log to help you find another 7/48, a 7/40 and a 7/52. There are no 8 letter words in this puzzle.
ok whats the sixth "e"?
Hah, I already had it. That's what I get for not looking up the definitions.
Depends on what you've already got. ;) But I'm looking for it too. I have 3x4, 1x6, 1x7 starting with E.
ditto
okay so the duck word isn't a 40 then? wow lol, this is intense. there's a 40, 48 and 52 though? I have my work cut out for me. I still don't know the cop one though.
Points for the 6s? I have: 33 18 36 36 27 18 27
you are missing a 36
but im missing an 18
Those counts are in alphabetical order to help place the starting letters.
steve - do all 3 of your 6/36 words start with the same letter?
Well I have one 6/36 and if they all start with the same letter, then good luck to me getting the other two 36's. I can't find anymore with that letter
nope
I finally got the duck clue!!
The 6/36 I was missing just jumped out at me! Yay! But still missing 1 6 if anyone knows the points for it.
anyone have any clues whatsoever...I'm still really really stuck. I don't have the cop one yet, or the other two 6/36's
ok jlm does your last 27 start with the same letter as your last 18?
im sara - some general tips: Have you compared the number of words you have starting with each letter to the lists people have posted below? it's a great way to figure out where to concentrate your efforts. Also, you know the number of points in the 7 letter cop word (48). Since a 7 letter word has the letter values x 4, the 7 letters must add up to 12 points. That means it must contain a 4-pointer and a 3-pointer. There is only 1 3-pointer in the grid, and although there are 3 4-pointers, one of them is pretty much unusable. That should get you thinking in the right areas. Also, there was a hint earlier that this word is a prefix on top of a 5-letter word, so a little more help there. The same math steps should help you in finding the 36 point 6s. There aren't very many options there for the larger letter values.
Yes. The 18 is a fabric.
thank very much. I knew I should had done better in math
got that 18 was wondering about your last 27 thats got me stymied
Aah - I see. That 27 is a plural of a 5 for 16. No idea what it means. The dictionary definitions don't help. But, it does look very similar to another common word, just missing the last letter in this grid.
never mind got it thanks anyway
77/1047 thats enough for me thanks for everyones help
anyone have any "A" words...I only have one 5/16...I gave up on the cop.
At 11:41 claws posted a pretty complete list of starting letters. One person since then has said there are actually 6xE, and there may be another word that no one has posted about yet.
thank you
I've matched claws exactly! I cannot find the other two... Has anyone reached 87 yet? 85 words 4.64 1123 2xA 9xC 5xE 16xF 4xH 3xL 4xN 5xO 1xR 24xS 9xT 3xZ
mellowmasher said there's a 6th E word.
jmdobie - I'm joining your ranks. 85/4.64/1123. Now looking for that elusive E word.
I have 2 "A" words now...but can someone tell me what their A's points are worth. I only have a 5/16 and a 4/4
sara - I have the same. There are most likely only 2 A words, so you've found them all. Found a 6th E, and it's the stupidest word! It's 4 letters for 7 points and is the combination of the two starting letters of two different words. It's more like an abbreviation, sort of like sci-fi for science fiction.
I got the e word too! I also got the last word (I hope)... It is a 5 letter c word that is very silimar to a singular form of a 4 letter c word you already have.
... just keep adding vowels 87 words 4.63 1144
Thanks for the hint! So, the (hopefully) final stats are 87/4.63/1144 4x7, 9x6, 25x5, 50x4 2xA 10xC 6xE 16xF 4xH 3xL 4xN 5xO 1xR 24xS 9xT 3xZ
it won't take Ronco -- the maker of Ginzu knives . . . I know, it's a proper noun . . . just like it won't take Norse ;-)
Is anyone having trouble with this site today. It's taking forever to load a word and my isp keeps bumping me offline because of the hangup with the word entries. I will never get to enter all my words this way!!
jlm, 4+9+25+50 is 88, not 87...
My bad! Thanks for catching that fnurt. It should be 49x4.
keet, we've had trouble getting to any US site today, on and off. I couldn't get to the babble site at all for quite a while! ICQ was off as well. Just goes to show how dependant we've become on the net. ;)
Still need five s-words, one o, one f, and one c...
running -- do you have the O that is a kiln for drying hops? And the C that is a call used by Australian Aborigines?
Do u dry the hops or roast them?
I have the kiln, but not the call.
Never mind, found it.
2 of the Os pertain to ill-mannered or particularly clumsy indviduals, the other two are very common O words, both 4 ltrs
lawyer -- Glad to see you on the board today! Still looking for 1 F, 7 S, and 3 T . . . so tickled, I have 4x7 but still missing 2x6
thank you, fix
Thank you, fix - found the last o-word.
fixit - perhaps I have a 5th O word, that isn't covered by your definitions - pertaining to beer-making (and other things, I guess). I have a boor, a foodstuff, and and a single happening???
I can't find the other O for a clumsy person
Christine -- yes, that was the one I gave a clue for at 4:01
sara -- one is a 4 ltr and one is a 6 ltr
Ooops! should've read the posts before yours, fixit. Of course, I referred to the kiln; I don't get the clue about a second illmannered person - I found only one that fits the definition.
familial responsibilities wailing . . . must look for the last 10 words after bed time! ;-)
fix - alright i found the Austrailian call but it started with a "C" and as for the 6 letter O word for an ill-mannered person. I can't find that one
oh my mistake, it was supposed to start with a "C"...i staill can't find that O one though
Christine -- one is plural and one could be described as 'suggestive of having the quality' HTH!
Sara - all the O words are 4 letters.
Sara don't listen to anything I say - ever - I'll just confuse you. However, this one time you MAY listen to me... there's four 4-letter words, and one six-letter. Over and out (those are not two of the words).
hahah christine! you won't confuse me. as for the words, i've found all the 4 letter ones but not the 6 letter one. *sigh* i'm going for a bit though, good luck everyone
Sara - the 6-letter word, take the root of one word, add the suffix that means 'like' It's okay to listen to me, this one time.
Rats - even if I get the rest of the words, there's a 4/5 combo, that I can't enter, because I don't use that word.... May I substitute DARN and DARNS? It's hell, being such a perfect person...
I think you'd have to substitute 'poop' and 'poops', Christine. ;)
Got the last f... can't believe THAT'S a real word.
So, what word is that? <sshh, perhaps she won't realize what I've asked...>
twinkies in bed and I'm back to find the last 10 words -- left the grid sitting here with my notes on what I was missing and the elves didn't finish for me! ;-)
My dinner is at the door - so, in the words of our Governor "I'll be baaack".
Christine - a suffix that means "like"...? I give up lol, seriously this puzzle is mad hard
Anyone willing to give point value for my remaining 6? I have 33, 18, 36, 36, 27, 38, 18, 27 Still looking for 1 F and 3 S . . . somewhere over the rainbow . . .
can someone give me a hint for an N word, I already have nice and tidy
please and thank you :)
fixit if those are in alpha order I also have a 36 pt 6 letter after the 27 and before the 18. I still need 4 more sixes - I guess from the notes one E, I have one 36 F, is the other 36 F as well? One either S or T. And the 38. Sigh.
sara - There are 4 n-words - two pairs of plurals.
Ive got 3x7 words...missing 1x7 does one start with the letter C ??
I'm missing ONE WORD... it's a six-letter s-word. Who can help me?
Its an extension of a 4 letter S word! Hope it helps!
RFH - do you have the fabic wors?
