Could be a nasty one. 40 words so far and only now found my first 7: T/32.

sprite

12:21 am

Okay, another one: O7/32.

sprite

12:23 am

Once you found the ending, they get easier: D7/36, another addiction of mine...

O7/28

sprite

So close to ontogeny. :(

fnurt

1:25 am

Are there two T7/32? I only have the one that sounds tasty.

sprite

1:28 am

O7/32: to dress up, make fancy

sprite

1:29 am

Typo: that O must read T, of course. Sorry.

sprite

1:37 am

So far I have only one T7 - I see I posted it twice. Not sure if it is another typo or just a temporary blast of insanity. Sorry anyway.

sprite

1:47 am

N9/54

sprite

2:15 am

A lenghtly speech in a classical language would have made such a beautiful 12...

sprite

2:47 am

I really seem to remember thyraton is a word... but not!

sprite

2:49 am

omg - another 9! T9/54.

sprite

3:36 am

A N8/40 I really liked finding. Comes before the other one.

Goforit, thank you very much! I was really wondering where did would end, but this can be done...

sprite

5:54 am

R7/32, measure unit that has come by more often here

sprite

6:12 am

Another T7/28

sprite

6:27 am

sprite, may I have clues or the 9's please.

periwinkle

6:33 am

I meant For the 9's. Thanks. It is morning here and I am just drinking my coffee. :)

sprite

6:37 am

N9: related to a fertilizer. T9: determining the concentration of a substance in solution I am out of my depth with the Es, have En5, can't find the second. Anyone who could help, please?

periwinkle

6:41 am

I got the T/9. Working on the N/9. Thanks.

a clue for the 8s would be helpful

periwinkle

6:42 am

Got the N/9. Similar to the T/9 except for the first letter.

sprite

6:42 am

Also need another i. I have: ik4, in4, in6 x2, io4, io6, ir4, ir5 x2. Total 9, need one more. I am positive I tried everything possible. Can somebody please give me a clue?

I dont have any Is yet

sprite

6:48 am

N8: hard to give a hint without giving the word. Related to someone who writes things down professionally. N8: a system of figures or symbols R8: turn, turning

sprite

6:50 am

I am stuck at 164 words / 4.93 / 2150 points. Two more words needed. If I counted right, both are 5s. @periwinkle: good morning! It is past noon here, wasted half my day babbling. ;-)

periwinkle

6:51 am

sprite, where are you?

Sprite, if you are still missing that i ... i had a look at the list since i'm not playing .. there's an i5 that neither dictionary.com nor wordfinder knows. ir5 ... Clorophora excelsa ... an african tree google knows it ;)

sprite

7:00 am

Goforit, you are an angel! I googled on your definition (is that cheating?) and found it. Never heard of, I am sure. @ Periwinkle: I am from Holland.

sprite

7:01 am

Goforit, could you please take a look at that 2nd e for me? Is that also a very weird word, or is it common and am I being dumb again?

personally i dont think anything is "cheating" except looking at the actual word list. Everything else is research!

sprite

7:04 am

*lol* Well, I could have done research for that i5 until midnight without finding it, but with your definition it was easy. Thank you so much!

En5 ... it's in wordfinder but not dictionary.com I can't find any english def. Just used in latin phrases. e.g. Occam's Razor: "E5 non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem"

the other En5 is a shortened form of the word for the mushroom Flammulina velutipes

sprite

7:22 am

Goforit, you're the best! I found it, it is also a Japanese mushroom (Flammulina velutipes). I should have known it, though... dear Occam. "Plurality should not be assumed without necessity (or, in modern English, keep it simple, stupid)" :-D Thanks again - you should get points for those words you helped me find.

sprite

7:23 am

(and it was the mushroom I missed, not the razor)

fit1

7:24 am

Don't know if someone gave a clue for the O7, but it means long speech

sprite

7:25 am

166 words / 4.93 / 2186 points

fit1

7:35 am

that ir word sounds soooo Japanese :)

sprite

7:57 am

Didn't Enya have a hit some time ago that sounded like it?

sprite

8:14 am

Orinoko flow, I believe.

sprite

9:28 am

I realise I might have created some confusion by mixing up the E-words and their meaning. :-( The mushroom is the first word, the one I was missing. (worth 18) The other word is the one in the latin form of Occam's razor. (worth 10) Both are 5s. Sorry if I put someone on a wrong track. Guess I really needed to take a break from the babble grid, but was too obsessed to get it done. *lol*

r/8 - Think of turning

11:24 am

I just found about 10 K words in my big dictionary that Babble doesn't accept - where the heck are the four more it will accept??

Krys10 - It took me a bit to understand your message, as I first read it as having found 10,000 words rather than 10 "K" word. :-D But, I have all the Ks. They are: ki, kn,kox2, kr, kyx2

I only have 2 K words

Krys10

11:50 am

My goodness, you are an engineer :) I found them all a few minutes after my rant ended ;)

Krys10

11:53 am

(And thank you for coming to my rescue!)

fnurt

11:59 am

K words are some of the dumbest words ever. Whenever I see a K, I should know to just start noodling.

Krys10

12:01 pm

i'm a fan of K words, especially klaxon, but I have a hard time finding them in these puzzles.

Krys10

12:03 pm

Some really cool V6 words out there!

I've got several letters where I'm missing just one or two words. Can anyone help? I won't bother yet posting the letters I'm still a long way off of. :) L: all LA - 7,4,4,4,6 O: OK, ONx2, ORx4 (total of 3x4, 1x5, 1x6, 2x7) V: Vix4 (3x4, 1x5), VOx2 (both 6) Y: YA, YE, YO all 4 letters

Sté

12:49 pm

LA5/12

fnurt

12:50 pm

You are missing a Vi6 and a Ye4.

fnurt

12:52 pm

You are also missing an La6 which is a word I remember from high school Spanish.

Good one fnurt. I had it with an E on the end, just not that way. :)

Krys10

1:01 pm

jlm_mi, you're missing an ON6 that is related to your ON5. I've been having trouble with D's - been through the dictionary and I'm only missing one: DA4x4 DA5x2 DA6x3 DA7x1 DR4x2 DR5x2

Krys10 - Thanks for the clues. I'm missing the same D you are though.

fnurt

1:13 pm

That ON6 is a funny word. Almost brings a tear to my eye. ;)

Krys10

1:17 pm

Are the two R7-32's at all similar?

fnurt

1:19 pm

6 of the 7 letters are the same, but I wouldn't call them similar.

Krys10

1:31 pm

I'm also looking for help finishing my A's: ad x 1 ai x 3 al x 3 ar x 4 at x 3

Krys10

Thank you thank you!!

Krys10

1:48 pm

L7: from teh Spanish, means a rogue-ish person

sprite

1:52 pm

Any help on N Ni 4, 5X2, 9 No 4X5, 5X4, 6x4, 8x2

Krys10

2:17 pm

the last O is an Or4

sorry, nevermind, i totally counted wrong. jlm already had that.

Thanks
