So I have used the Z twice, once to begin a word, and once within.
OK, that's just weird that I came out "first" in the score list yesterday- I finished like maybe an hour and a half before the game ended. Maybe it puts the rank in reverse order of finishing, for finishers.
used the z 4 times...twice within words and twice to begin words
Now I'm up to four uses for the Z. Three to begin, and one within (or rather ending a word).
z used 5 times
Me too :) Found another one, where I used the Z to begin.
z 6 times now
Curses!! Ya beat me. Hey, I'm pretty impressed that I found the ones that I have :)
I've used the 'z' 7 times- four to start words, 3 within or to end words.
I've got the 4 to start, now I've just got to work on two out of your last three Q...
a 7 for 36
Done for the night. Gotta go pack for a trip. 28 for 240. Lay-ta :)
85 words? And it looked so promising...
an 8 /90
42 words 419
42 for 543. The 8/90 eludes me. Goodnight.
I found the 8/90! It's related to a 4-letter word. 54 words/720, and it's bedtime.
Found a 9 for 78.
And a ten with the same ending for 105!
Today's BabbleStats: By word length: 4 ... 44 5 ... 24 6 ... 8 7 ... 5 8 ... 1 9 ... 2 10 .. 1 ======== total 85 ======== By start letter: D ... 13 F ... 3 H ... 3 L ... 6 P ... 18 R ... 8 S ... 7 T ... 14 U ... 2 W ... 7 Z ... 4
Zs ? I have four to start, one that contains it, can't find the word that ends with it, but the night is yet young. 46 for 581... nothing over 7s.
52 words/693 so far and not a clue to those 9/78, 8/90 or 10/105. :-( Got a 9/72 though. But now I seem stuck.
hooray for pasta!
The 9/78 and 10/105 are really dumb superlatives.
The 8/90 is dumb in a different way.
can you give a clue for 9 and 10 please
D7 songs D8 silliest D6 chores F7 obese people L6 someone on a group of names ... or perhaps someone with a lean? ;) P6 feels sorrow for P6 churchman P9 wettest bit of ground after rain that the kids want to jump on could be described as ? P6/P7/P7 sequence: gaiters T10 most fiddly U6 ascend another 6 another 6 another 7 another 9 anyone got clues for the missing biggies?
F9 utter stupidities
ah! thankyou! she said, feeling sligthly less stupid ;)
cant get the gaiters clues, but great clues for the others.thanks
got them now thanks for the clues
Thanks for the P9! Want that T10 and 8/90 but cannot get it... gaiters: nice protection for your feet when you take a hike.

P6 dealing with cement
Uh. P7, that is.
I have 2 P7's. Are there more?
cant get 8-90
YES! Got the T10. Now that 8/90...
R6 & R7 Relating to or being any of a group of flightless birds
Hm. I see. My P7 does have to do with gaiters. Who knew??
Maybe a stupid question, but the listing of Goforit below, is that an official one? From the makers? Or the results of a very good noodler?
that goforit list was from me. following a method explained by jlm a while ago. I put the babble grid into an online solver, and copy the results into a text file (without looking at the results ... not that hard to manage if i take off my glassses). Then i just run a macro i've set up in a mini database that imports the words in the file, and then prints out the babble stats for me. Personally, i find it a LOT more enjoyable playing babble when i know what i'm aiming for. I'd prefer to wait for jlm's list ... but that gets posted a bit late for me.
Thanks for explaining! Yes, it is nice to know the numbers of words/letters. That 8/90 is driving me crazy, though! Must have 18 points... does it have a Z?
yep ... there's a z in there
Thx, got it now. Only a few small ones missing yet.
I'm looking for a T5 I have: Ti5 Ti5 Tw5 Does anyone have a fourth T5 ?
There is a weird Te5 that was in the puzzle a few days ago.
Ah... a lizzy!
Phew! Got it. Thanks for the help. That's it for me. 85 words 4.88 1380 ---------------- For those interested in words using a Z: D4 D8 H5 P4 S5 Z4 Z4 Z5 Z4
There`s an F9/72 .It`s definition is : foolishness or foolish act.
Will be back in about 6 hours, but does anyone have clues for 8/90, 10/105 or the other 9?
I think shortseer posted hints for all those a little while ago, youngster.
runningforhome, I know, but they didn't help me :-(
Wow, there is a 5/40.
fnurt yep, that z's quite useful!
I'm still missing a z/4 - think it's probably the first one
D8/90: stupid superlative for a D4 with a Z. T10/105: he who can move his thumbs the best is the t..... P9/78: shortseer gave a very good hint. Also a superlative. I am still short 5 5-words and about 8 4-words! Why are the little ones so much harder? ;-)
Got it :-)
Anyone with a word using the Y?
got the z/14 and D8/90 and already had the P9/78. Still can't see the T10/105. how are 10 letter words scored?
Haven't used the 'y'
10-words times 7
Finally got the T10/90. My spelling leaves a lot to be desired! Forgot about the double letter!
You mean the T10/105? Or the D8/90? :-))
Obviously more than just my spelling leaves a lot to be desired! I meant T10/105, but I've got both!
Are you done now, youngster? I found 2 S's. Still 2 to go, plus 3 T's and 3 D's...
Nowhere near. I've only got 38 words and 755 points :( Going to have dinner now, then out for some wine. That might help me find some more :-) then again...
Enjoy!
Apparently 'hawt' isn't a real word. Who'd have thought? ;)
And there IS no duplicity... keep seeing it!
ooh love the d8 with z.
Does anyone have another clue about the gaiters?
can you please give a clue for the D8
Eccentric or scatterbrained
they're indian gaiters
Sounds very close to the most 'light headed'
The gaiters all start with the same 4 letters. Golf might give you a clue.
Poephol, that didn't really help :-) Should it have?
Poephol? You must be Dutch!
my name is a joke. Ask cragesmure
yeah, got the P6/24 and P7/36 but still missing a P6
Sounds familiar to me... ;-)
if u can rupt and disrupt surely rupt must be valid?
There are a Pi/6, a Pr/6 and a Pu/6.
sprite, I have all of these. I thought there was another Pu. shortseer said at 7.53 P6/P7/P7 sequence: gaiters, so I think it's a P7 I'm missing, not a P6!
Still cant get the D8
Treble99, the D8 uses tz!
OK, then you need to ad an s...
... and the sequence isn't perfect. There is a 5 in between.
sprite, add an 's' to what?
got it!!!!
to the 6.
But that's still only 5....thought I was looking for a 7!
No, I had that 7, it's the other one I want!
*lol* Add, not detract!
Is the tz at the end because I am having trouble getting this word
Nope, it's within.
the P-sequence is: P6, P7, P5, P7.
I think I will give up on the D8 word
It's the last P7 I don't have :-)
Treble99, do you have a D4/14?
Treble99, the letters go upwards in the grid in the middle column, then down the right, ending with T
For the last P7 you only need to change 1 letter from the first P7. Can't hear the difference, though.
No I dont it yet
Can someone tell me which S I am missing? Got 4/7, 5/28, 4/4, 4/4, 4/4, 5/14. Think I'll give up on the 3 D's and the 2 T's...
sprite, Thank you :-) I thought I'd tried that one already, but obviously not! I'm going for some wine. Will be back after several hours!
Treble99, you need a D4/14, ending with Z. Then work from there for the D8.
Thanks everyone for all your help, I got it at last
Never mind, got the last S.
Treble99, the D4/14...think of the song 'putting on the R---' then change the R ro a D
Sorry that should have read change the R to a D - honest, I haven't started the wine yet!
Oh god, now I'm thinking of the scene in Young Frankenstein where they sing that song... pure comedic gold.
Just as well you couldn't hear me singing it!!!
I can't find the last H... I have a 5/40 and a 4/10.
runningforhome, you need the 8.26 am hint from shortseer. Very unusual word. It is a H6.
I have Ta, Tex2 (4,5), Tix6 (4x4, 2x5), Tu, Twx3. What am I missing?
You are missing a Tix4.
Is the Ta 4 or 5?
4
80 / 1328 and absolutely stuck... Why don't I just stop? This game is addictive, seriously!
sprite - where are you stuck? My biggest hurdles are Ds and Ps. And I agree, quite addicting!!! For Ds I have 5xDi4, Di5, Di7, Di8, Du6 For Ps I have 2xPi4, Pi5, Pi6, PL5, 2xPR5, PR6, 2xPU4, PU5, PU6, 2xPU7, PU9
You are missing a Du 4/5 combo, a Di 5/18 that is related to a 4 you have, and... a Dh ;)
There's a Pl 4
Also the D's. And the T's. For D's I have: 5xDi4, Di5, Di7, Di8 (same as you) and then Du4, Du5, Du6. Still 3 missing. For P's I have: 3xPi4, Pi5, Pi6, Pl4, Pl5, 2xPr5, Pr6, 2xPu4, 2xPu5, Pu6, 2xPu7, Pu9. And for T's: Te4, Te5, 4xTi4, 2xTi5, Tu4, Tw4, Tw5, Tw10. I miss the Ta fnurt has. And two more.
You are only missing 2xD - The Di5 mentioned below, and the DH. And in addition to the TA4 you are only missing one more T - a Ti4.
Sorry - should have been 4 Di4's.
Tnx! Found the Ta.
OK, some good clues and some process of elimination helped me complete the list. Thanks all!
I have the Di5/12. Anyone a hint for the Di5/18?
the Di you're looking for uses one of teh Di-4s. It's a more common word than I was looking for :-) Any help on the s 5 for 28? I know two of the letters it has to have, but all the combinations I've tried have been rejected <sniff>
never mind...missing the complete obvious!! I think I need a break!!
Common? That too... ;-) I feel really stupid, cannot find that last Di5. For the S5/28, think of opportunities. And of what you should do with them.
The Di you're looking for is how you'll feel when you figure it out ;-) (think blonde)
Ieeeee! That did it... thanks! Now I can sleep... got them all!
Can someone please confirm that I've culled the clues correctly: are there 5 Ti x4?
I'm still missing an R and an S I have: R's: 4/7 6/18 7/28 4/4 4/4 5/10 4/6 S's: 4/7 5/28 4/4 4/4 4/4 5/14
That is correct: 5Di4's.
5 Ti4's I mean...
You mean Ti x4's?
I'm missing the same two Rs and Ss! Any help on the U's?
thx :)
You're missing an S4/5. Has to do with sardine.
Benjake, you are missing an S4/5 and another R5/10
And an R5/10. Use yr mind and think of the relation magnitudes can have to eachother...
Ehm... the 'think logical' part was meant to be hinting, not bitching... ;-)
...yet again, I got stuck thinking there was only one R to work with. I really need a break! But I'm 5 away from completing the puzzle, so I want to keep going!!!!!
Thanks! Got them both. I'm embarrassed to have not gotten the R5/10 before. The U's- 5/14 6/24 Both use the same starting pair of letter.
Thanks for the U clues. Can I be obnoxious and ask for more? I'm missing one of the Ls: I have 4/4, 5/16, 4/4, 6/18, 4/4 And two of the Ws I have 4/10, 4/7, 4/7, 5/16, 4/7 Thanks!
You miss one L4/4. They are the same, except for the last letter.
and you miss the 3rd W. It's what you get when having more of the 2nd.
Bj, missing an L4, and a W5/16 and W4/10. Is one of the Ti4 words odd? I think I've noodled every possibility!
If it's the one I just (finally) found, it's odd to me: the definition is "To quiver; to vibrate; to veer about." Not sure if it's the same one you need, though.
Not as odd as the Te5. Do you have the quivering Ti4?
Is the W 4/10 an odd word? Is it in the dictionary, or should I just be noodling? Thanks for all the other clues! I'm one away from getting them all!
Yes, apparently the quivery one is the one I need. I'll try again...
Neither of the W4/10's are obscure words.
:-)) No, it is a very common word. Perhaps one of the most used, even. It is what you get back when you tell people something new or unpleasant.
Thank you:-) Thank you! I'm so embarrassed...I can't believe that one took me so long to figure out!! I did it!!
Got the Ti4 already, Krys10?
Just got it, thanks. Down to my last six words to find. Getting a complete list yesterday was dangerous, now I've got a taste for it!
I know what you mean, couldn't stop today either. Good luck and good night.
just got the f/9/72. What does the other 9 start with? What does the 10 start with please?
Nevermind, I just read through the whole log and found out the answers to my questions>
I am only missing two words, both Rs and I cannot find them for the life of me! One is a 5/10 and the other is a 4/6, apparently.
Well, I found the 4/6...
There are two 5/10 R words. One is a plural, so I'm guessing you have that one. The other is a mathematical word (but quite common). Think fractions.
Peri...P 9/ and 10
Any clues for the f/9/72
marigold, you have mail.
marigold, I only have 55 words
youngster, I looked the f/9 up in my scrabble dictionary.
youngster, have you found the f/9 yet. Clue: utter foolishness, or something utterly stupid or silly. The word in the puzzle is the plural.
I am confused. Does the 10 letter word start with P or T.
I am missing an H. I have 4/10 and 6/33. What am I missing?
the 10 letter word starts with a T
marigold, do you have the t/10 word?
no still looking
does the T 10 start TW anyone
I am sorry I forgot to say please
do both U words start with UP?
marigold, I got the T/10. It does start with TW.
marigold, you have mail
THANKS perwinkle
your welcome :)
should have read: you're welcome
you have mail perwinkle
thanks, you do too, marigold
good night
