good morning Sprite
{{sprite}} hugs and kisses my dearest. will reply your email soonest, but no guarantees. starting to pick the pace up just a tad.
*hugs flosey* Good evening, dear lady. Haven't seen you in a while, how are you doing?
enjoying good health Sprite, thanks
*hugs rose* No hurry, love. You just take care of yourself, ya hear? All the rest can wait. How are you today?
actually better than i thought. starting to sleep better finally. and you honey?
good to hear Rose, keep it up!
awesome, sleeping through the night makes such a big difference. I am okay, slept reasonably well and am looking forward to FC day. Always very good for me... food for the soul :)
i hope it is as good as ever.
it always is. With Noud and our group of 'hard-core' assistents, the quality is guaranteed. Miraculous things can happen when there is such a stable base.
what's family consternation day ?
*giggles* I love ya, ru. I'll never call it anything else again. It is a therapy day. It is about families and how certain themes and blockages can work through generations and give problems in the present. And about how to solve them.
yeah.. I know about blockages.. my father had a carrot up his butt for many, many years
mine has a stick up his bum, but I guess that is not the same thing
more or less the same sprite
ah. Sounds like we should put our fathers together on a island with just a coconut tree and a well :D
oh my I found the biggies!
what do they begin with?
de
let me know if you want more of a clue
I'm off to bed, good night all
sleep well, dear flosey *hugs*
thanks Sprite and hugs back

I remember how it made a pleasing clickety clack noise.
Good morning
Morning, car.
Boom! 9, 10 & 11!
=)
WTG Bea! I'm still looking
You will get there, Luv.
Have vanquished the vowels. Seems like half the battle this morning.
I always struggle with the vowels...
Wow! Well done!
used to be wooden moving stairs in the London tube stations. I remember them from 20 years ago, but they're gone in all the stations I saw the last few times i've been there since 2014.
I remember them from when i was there in the 80's
darn, can't make telecaster
city
sorry wrong box
Huh, why isn't "lede" a word? As in "bury the lede" - a newspaper expression
I always thought that was "lead"
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bury_th\ne_lede
You learn something new every day here in Babble land!
OK...time to focus on work. HAGD everyone

Geesh. Everyone coming in and calling at the same time here at the PD.

Plunged into darkness!
I also lost a form I was working on. Grrrr.
I hate when that happens
Off to re-start that bit of fun. BBL.
ah, there's the 9/10/11
always feel a grid is more doable when I find the largest words...even if that's not rational
i so agree moo. many times there are many smaller words in those big ones. so from one you get maybe 5 or more small ones. like the ones today
No acey, as in acey deucey?
not familiar with the expression sorry
No? Used in poker to indicate wild cards, and other card games.
good morning all - what does the 9-10-11 begin with?

No storm. No snow. Power bill paid. Not sure what the dealy-o was.
hello friends. giving a test, stealth babbling....
We'll be quiet then...
Hiya, Trif.
i think de + el 5/12 should be a word....i have someone in mind... ;o)
lol, just tried it penquis!
i guess we both just wanted it to be a word for more than one reason... ;o)
how ANYone can still defend him, let alone support him, is beyond me
understood!
I'm with you Pen and Trif
clue for al7?
self
Now, now...You all just wait until you get all that money back from your taxes next year...<she says, tongue in cheek>
please, i'll be living in my car soon, bzzn
AL7: everyone + what's found inside the apple core.
I hear you, Trif...
that's a word? bleah
detice should also be a word....if you can entice someone, why can't you detice them?
excellent point pen
our minds are in synch today.... ;o)
you should see me right now, you would laugh SO HARD - it's "spirit week" here, and today is "Salute to the Decades" day. I'm swooshing around in grand style, in an 1800s style ball gown.
cool!....
LOL! I'm sure you are rocking the look!
i....can't....breathe.....
Anyone have a clue for the CE7/32?
Uh oh. Better loosen up that corset, Trif.
I can certainly understand why they went out of fashion!

Got it. Ty, Bea.

ce7 like the stars nan.. ends in a vowel
ruru uggh i am a nut lover

25 to go here...got most of the long words, so hopeful I can run this one down
i have 3 8s but nothing longer
Have 4 8s, the 9/10/11 - the latter are all related
elasticity...not in there
well i've hit every letter without finding them
yeah, I ended up typing the eight without actually finding it, and then that lead to the 9/10/11
which 8 would that be - starts with... ?
e
o my
yeah, never good when it starts with a vowel
but it's a common word
though not common in boggle
De10; de/11
oh
we must add d on the front end of something
ok
de to the front end of something ;)
like the 8 you were asking for before :)
Use double vowel
ok well i am very confused but i will puzzle it out
if you need more clues, you can always ask
ah, there's the last 8
ok got it - i just had assumed it was like e8 and then e9 etc
and i didn't have the 8 yet
but now i got them all
yeah...well didn't want to make it too easy for you :)
thanks :)
Down to 11 here now
grr the first couple sts (6,21; 7,32; 6,24) are eluding me
but they're all 5/6/7 leftters
well what's that last 8 start with, now i am intrigued
i have st6/24 russian prison type place
have a lot of st's spell, not sure which ones you want
the last 8 started with t...was the last one I found
oh well i have a te8 so i think i miss a different one
two s8s
the e which you got
yeah
and the d...probably the d, not common
oh ok d
Moolingwa, I'm looking for the first st6,21, the one after that (probably pl), and the 6,24 below that.
staed
the one that happens to bread after you leave it out?
no, the 6s and 7 above that
the middle of sa6/21 is what you have when you are able to say things without offending people
i said a 6/24 below also
phantom: azalea
yeah, first word I "see" each time I look at the grid
okay spell...here's your word
st + part of play + vowel
saw the last jedi yesterday and still have the star wars music thoroughly stuck in my head
doncha just love all those words that don't really exist?
heh
Can someone tell what the 9/10/11 start with? Thanks.
I like them, because I play a lot of scrabble :)
to quote santa about the m&m's: they do exist
lady, they all start with d
well the 9 starts with e
9 is with 8 they start with e. 10 and 11 have a prefix added to those.
but it's related
down to 7 here
Thanks everyone.
what was the other st you were looking for spell?
st6,24. After male deer, before old bread.
german prsion camp
prison even
during World War II
thanks. yeah, english words
:)
it's okay, that got me another one...so thanks for the hint
oops i said russian
forget what they called them in russia...hmm
gulag ?
yeah
of course
i think that is why i thought russian - same ending
yeah
may i please have a clue for that de8?
add it to the front of your e8
citadel not in there either
that makes no sense
e8 - to increase or raise...de10 to decrease or lower
i just want de8
i have 9 and 10
oh, sorry
the de is in front of a plural 6, that also begins with a vowel
ah thanks
i was all, i can't add to an 8 and get an 8, lol
yeah...was thinking you were still asking for the bigguns
Dirty dozen is all that's left, all TE's, from three different locations.
anyone have the stats on the bottom T?
possibly missing one TE here
the one on the left?
no, fourth column
it's the two TIs, and which TE's?
ti 5/12 and ti 6/21
oh the te's
looking
te 4/4
that's the only one I can see at this point on that t
looking for another
te 5/10
those are the two, took me a while to go through them all
that helps. I managed to weed out the 2nd row T's words while you were looking, so it's down to 4th and 5th columns
if i could just find one more word
that'd be a nice round 200
easy peasy :)
got the TE7 and 8 pair -- it's a cousin to thistle
have 1xA, 4xC, 1xS and 1xT to go
sorry te6 and 8 pair is a cousin of thistle
yes, don't forget the alternate spelling

Sorry about that. Malwarebytes has decided to block the babble website. I could not enter words in to the add word box or chat log. I added playbabble to the exclude option so it would allow babble but it still blocked it. So I have turned it off to see if I can access babble.
weird!
Yes I can not work it out.
It was all fine untill windows 10 did a big update today but I can ot see why that would make malwarebytes act like that. Still trying to work this out.

Hi there, Liz.
Hi Peach - hope you're doing OK - your family too.
Most welcome, Gapeach. And please don't feel stupid. I often can not find simple four letter words let alone 10 or 11 letter words.
Hello, Liz :-)
Help with ac 6 pls and hi zooz. Hope you and your parents are OK.
It has been very rough, Liz, but we are getting along with all of it.Thanks for asking
My thoughts are with you all.
Thanks much, Liz.
playing card + ***cum powder.
Sorry for delays to chatting to you I am composing an email to malewarebytes as it is being a pain in the butt.
Thanks - I must've tried pretty much every other letter after the ac5 - but not that.
Having computer problems? Grrrrr :(
Well for some reason malwarebytes has decided to block babble!!
I have to turn off web protection for me to be able to add words or chat. Very strange.
That is NOT good - deliberately loud there.
I wish I could help but we use Macs, not PCs.
No worries,Liz, I have shot off an email to their forum. Hope someone there can guide me to solving it :)
Hope they can sort it for you.
Well I had better get myself off to bed. nearly midnight here. Am reading the second book of Ransom Riggs book of Miss Peregrine's peculiar children!
Hope so, Liz. Hope you have a great day!
Haven't read those. Enjoy and sleep well.
Thanks
