7/44

sprite

12:31 am

Nope, 'connatural' isn't there...

sprite

12:51 am

A nice 7/36! And now for a break...

sprite

12:53 am

And 8/50

heh ... it took me a few minutes to realise your 12:51 am post was a clue sprite

sprite

12:56 am

Another 7/36 No s, no d, no -ing... can't be much words, this grid. Not even 200, I'd say.

sprite

12:56 am

Hi shortseer! I thought I betrayed myself nicely by continuing to play ;-)

sprite

12:58 am

7/44 and 7/36, both Ps.

Hope i haven't made a mistake this time with the stats ... Babblestats 99x 4 30x 5 17x 6 7x 7 (A C N O P P T) 1x 8 (O) ==== 154 ==== A14 C13 E6 F6 i1 L17 M9 N16 o10 P21 R8 T25 U3 W5

Great, shortseer. So much more fun to play with stats. I found this very peculiar N7/36! Entered it just for fun. I thought: if that N6/18 is a word, so is this... and it was! Think of one of the most commercial drinks and then make it a negative.

thanks ... it was very easy to get with your clue

Strange word, isn't it? Bet we will not use the X today either... yesterday's was in there for nothing as well. Looks so promising, with -mix and -tix, but I don't seem to be able to come up with a valid word!

56 words and nothing over a five. :( I'm out of it after not playing in a week or two...

Well i've only got 34 words. But i like to fully finish with one start letter before going on to the next. And the the T's have been a bit of a struggle (just finished them woohoo)

sprite

1:18 am

Got to 110 words now. Missed you, runningforhome! No time, or holiday?

runningforhome

1:19 am

It was the end of my school term, so I was much busier than I like to be. Now I'll just be killing time 'til I get to go home for Christmas.

sprite

1:21 am

We'll be seeing a lot more of you, then... ;-)

runningforhome

1:23 am

Most likely ;) Does the o-8 have anything to do with an o-6 breakfast food?

sprite

1:25 am

Right, A7/36: a delicate needlepoint lace. Had to have a definition for the non-capitalised word, otherwise it wouldn't be valid... :-D

sprite

1:26 am

Could be, but only if you have very strange breakfast habits. O7: an ancient Greek beverage consisting of wine and honey

sprite

1:27 am

Sorry, you said O8... sigh. Not completely awake, I am. No, no relation between the breakfast-O6 and the O8. You need to think more extreme.

1:31 am

Found it right after I posted my first message. Somehow that always seems to happen.

sprite

1:32 am

Yeah, like asking the question makes room for the answer. ;-D

sprite

1:41 am

154 words / 4.58 / 1697 Why do I always end up with missing words that I am sure I have entered already? And I was right before, no use for the X again. :-(

any clues for the A7 please

sprite

9:34 am

See 01.25 am for a clue. It is a french word, derived from the city that is famous for its lace.

9:48 am

Thanks for the clue sprite

I have a U4/4 and U6/30 any help with the missing one.please

sprite

1:25 pm

Another U6/30

sprite

1:26 pm

@ kcbabble: both in dutch and in english spelling! ;-D

U peeps in the 1000 pt category have way too much time on your hands How do you do it?

sprite

2:38 pm

:-D My secret: economical use of time and no watching tv.

periwinkle

periwinkle

3:07 pm

I am having trouble finding 7 letter words. May I please have clues for the P words. Thanks

3:28 pm

Found one of the P/7 words. woo hoo!

Are there 2 U6 words

At 03:31 pm Treble99 said... Are there 2 U6 words Yes, both start with the same two letters but the third ones are different. I'm sure they'll jump off the grid any minute.

periwinkle

5:15 pm

Taglos, and those two letters would be ----. Honestly, I cannot see any of the U words today.

periwinkle

5:17 pm

But I will keep trying.

Up 6 30's Sorry for the delay, went for dinner.

periwinkle

5:18 pm

TaDa, Found one of the six letter U words.

periwinkle

5:19 pm

Taglos, we posted at the same time. I actually found the word before I saw your post. Now I need to find the other two.

hehe I do that quite a bit :) The third is a UL4

periwinkle

5:22 pm

found the 2nd U/6. Yea for me. Noodling does pay off.

periwinkle

5:39 pm

I found the P7 meaning a subdivision of a company of troops. May I have a clue for the 2nd P7 and also the T7. Once I have these I will have all of the 7 letter words.

Pa7 / 44 A small inflammatory elevation of the skin.

fit1

5:42 pm

well, they did not jump off the grid :(

periwinkle

5:47 pm

fit1, the u6 words are compound words. I found them by noodling.

periwinkle

5:48 pm

Taglos, the P word I am thinking of has an S in the middle. Am I on the right track, I do realize that there is no S in this puzzle. .

periwinkle

5:54 pm

Taglos, I found a P6 that fits the definition you gave for the P7. I cannot seem to make it seven letters. Any hints.

fit1

5:56 pm

Thanks Peri, got the U6's and one u4. That completes the u's. Big whoop :)

fit1

5:56 pm

Peri, RRRRRRRRR try another letter on the p6

periwinkle

5:58 pm

fit1, Thanks, don't know why I didn't try that letter for the end. Can you help me with the U 4?

Glad you got that done, was working on the T7, see the 12:51am post for the clue For the UL 4, the last two letters are ususally used in the reverse to name a bone.

6:10 pm

I wish 'epitaph' would stop pretending it's in this grid!

Grrrrr my last word is hiding from me. Process of elimination says its a P6 33

fit1

6:24 pm

didja ever feel like you were spinning your wheels? I have 85 words, and I am plumb stuck :(

fit1

6:25 pm

oops, that's 95 words, but I'm still stuck
