Ooop - I got the 8, 9 and 11 on my own. Woop!
No 7s yet though
And I now have a 7. Isn't this a thrilling thread ;)
Ah, the Babble diet continues.
Clue for en11 please?

I will be having afternoon tea in Windsor on Saturday. (Not the castle- the town).
Oh! As it happens, I need to visit either Windsor or Staines this weekend....
We could make something happen...
If you have time
Windsor is roughly halfway between where my son & daughter live,
Where do you son and daughter live?
Not this time, sadly. I'll be getting my Gramma fix. ðŸ˜
Ah, fairy nuff.
Paul is in Chatham, Kent & Sarah is in Swindon
Where do your kids live? I'll be visiting Australia in May or June as my daughter will be giving birth to my first granddaughter (first grandchild full stop)
How exciting!! Our little fella is 7 months, 6 teeth & crawling. He is a pure delight.
Quite the schlep for both of them, but Windsor is fun. I think, though, the M4 may be shut nearby for bridge works (I'll check) so they should leave early!
Well - I'll let them worry about that. I'm just the passenger!!!
Yes, the M4 will be closed in both directions between junction 6 and junction 8/9. Drivers will be diverted during the full closure from Friday, January 17 night until Monday, January 20 morning.
Ah, so you're not meeting them there, but rather going with them?
FW! Enjoy your time in Windsor with the family x
En6 please?
Last word.....
A nonet
Fw!!!
geez it's feast or famine with these grids lately :-(
seriously? There's an 11 letter word in this grid?
small but powerful grid I guess
gr 7/40 please?
well, looks like enable still has the n word
And a host of other racial slurs, and will continue to say they are valid words. Because they are. Are they nice words? No, but they are words.

I was looking at it when you spoke...
Serendipitous
I want goon to be there but it just isn't
Neither is gonad...

gonad(s) is one of those words that I see in the grid a lot but it's never actually there.
(cue ruru)
Got the 9 so I'm at NBS but still don't have NBT...

Irrelevant to my Babble addiction, but, today I got a hearing aid. TV volume reduced from 55 to 20 & no need for subtitles. Mind. Blown.
2 left. I will find these bastards!
fireworks! just had to use my no6 to find them :D
Well done Pipp.
yay, i finally did something right today!
hello
Going on record here that I think racial slurs should not be included in the puzzle
That is interesting. Many other people say the same thing. And yet they often use the word "poof" which is a slur in regards to gay males. The thing is, words are just words. They are only "bad" if they are used with a mean intention. Which they are not in a word game, or when people here say "poof" for "I'm leaving"
Thanks Molly, but the word in this grid does not have any other significant meaning.
That I am aware of, anyway.
I agree with you, rolotom
<3
I agree. I tried the word with trepidation in the hope it wouldn’t be accepted and was disappointed it was 😞
I respect the right for anyone to have their own opinion. A dictionary or word list is an accumulation and definitions of words. Those things include words that may be offensive to some.
It’s a shame the dictionary used isn’t updated. It’s frustrating when so many words that are now in common usage aren’t accepted but that’s the game and we can accept it as it is or choose not to play so I’m accepting it and carrying on playing
Does anyone know if it would be possible to change the dictionary that feeds this?
This site is free now. I doubt the owner would want to go to the expense of upgrading it.
That is a good point Molly.
good point but a sad point. this game could be so much more.
honestly I see this as an app that would have a big following. HOwever, the small community that has been built and is continuing even 12 years after I started playing would be ruined
Why would it be ruined?
too many more people would be involved
And I don't see it working as a phone app. It is very hard to play this game on the tiny screen of a phone
hello .... can someone please clue the gr 7?
it explords when you pull the pin
oops, that was meant to be 'explodes'
ah....a real word....ty....i am done...
hi all. Does any one here watch Jeopardy? Periwinkle was one of the answers tonight and none of the contestants knew the answer but I did :-)
I watched a couple of weeks ago during the Ken Jennings face-off with the other 2 "best ever" players and was astounded - NONE of them knew the term 'keylogger'
go peri! ... I do watch it but I am behind....i record it....
they were shown a picture of the flower and the shell
I have fw so I am going byee
i am no gardener, but the color might have led me to guess periwinkle.... ;o)
bye peri...
heading out....goodnight all...
We keep losing power here (just outside DC) due to wind. The gusts are impressive! But it's freaking out our poor doggie
