sprite

12:07 am

7/36

sprite

12:08 am

and another 7/48

sprite

12:10 am

Also 7/48 with another starting letter (2x Q, 1x W)

sprite

12:11 am

G8/55

sprite

12:16 am

It will not accept 'stengun'!

sprite

12:24 am

C7/36

12:26 am

Tiday's stats, brought to you by the letter "D".... 8 - 7 7 - 27 6 - 53 5 - 65 4 - 90 ----- total: 242 ----- A - 13 C - 17 D - 47 E - 10 G - 29 i - 10 N - 25 P - 12 Q - 11 R - 3 S - 27 T - 15 U - 9 W - 14

sprite

12:27 am

LOL Quite a grid, Krys10! Thanks for the stats, we will need them desperately today. ;)

Krys10

12:34 am

Yeah, these big ones are a bummer for me - just don't have time to dive in and commit. I'll be up late tonight, so maybe I'll try this one :)

s8/65

there's a q8/65 in there as well

sprite

12:52 am

U7/44

sprite

12:53 am

+ U8/60 (combo)

sprite

12:58 am

The Q8 is an alternate spelling for a Q7.

aha ... missed that. thx. first time player!

sprite

1:02 am

Then you are doing great! ;) Thanks for the tip for the Q8.

e7/44

just checked the rankings, sprite ... methinks u would've found that q w/o my help. that said, g'night!

sprite

1:11 am

LOL You don't want to know how blind I can be at times. Sleep well.

sprite

1:13 am

E7/36 as well

sprite

1:14 am

Ow, I see I forgot to mention which letter my first 7/36 starts with (12.07 am). It is a C.

D7/36

C7/40 too

Krys10

1:26 am

A7/32 (can't take credit for this one - accidentally saw it while I was doing the stats)

sprite

1:28 am

I really admire you statmakers for not seeing more words than that! Couldn't do it myself.

Krys10

1:29 am

Did I screw up the stats? How could there possibly be 29 G's in here..

for my own sake, I'm recapping what's been listed so far . . . sprite, add any I've left out! 8s G/55 -- planted Q/65 -- lining up S/65 - sparkly U/65 ------- 7s A/32 C/36 C/40 -- stretching D/36 E/44 G/36 G/32 G/36 -- rec'd hospitality Q/48 Q/48 (alternate spelling) U/44 W/48

another D7/36

sprite

1:50 am

We can do with some recapping today... how else are we gonna find 27 7s? :) 8s G/55 -- planted Q/65 -- lining up S/65 - sparkly U/65 - most singular ------- 7s A/32 -- purine base C/36 -- meat eaters C/36 -- official permits C/40 -- stretching D/36 -- abilities to attract others through personal magnetism and charm E/44 -- putting on (clothing), providing with G/36 -- where plants grow (pl) G/32 G/36 -- rec'd hospitality Q/48 -- pursued, searched Q/48 (alternate spelling of Q8) U/44 - without an equal (pl) W/48 -- made broader

sprite

1:52 am

fixitfmly, I am not altogether sure we have the same S8. Could yours be described as: "affixed S6/30s to a garment"?

Krys10

1:53 am

S8 = covered with S6/30's...

sprite

1:54 am

I'd say that is a 'yes'! ;)

Krys10

1:56 am

Thanks for the definition clues - I like them so much better than the point-total type!

sprite -- yes, that's the same S8; my daughters refer to such fabric as 'sparkly' ;-) 'spangle' would be another name for the S6

Krys10

1:58 am

Add an E7/40 to the list: it relates to horses.

Krys10

2:00 am

Also, a second D7/36.. at least I think it's different from sprite's - the definitions seem unrelated.

sprite

2:01 am

fixitfmly, do you have a clue for that G7/32?

I do have some differences: D7/36 -- most lacking life D7/36 -- makes bare E7/44 -- horses

G7/32 -- red gemstones

sprite

2:02 am

Is that a 3rd D7/36? fixitfmly found a 2nd one at 01.46 am.

Krys10

2:06 am

I may have a third C7/36.. haven't found sprite's, but again, the definitions seem different. i don't have a third D7/36. I have one that seems different from yours, sprite. And the E7 I mentioned before is 44 points, not 40. I'm going to crack open some hard cider and shut up for a while...

sprite

2:09 am

Better pour me one as well, Krys10... forget the meat eaters, they aren't in this grid. :( C7/36: related to dogs. (okay, they do eat meat, but that's beside the point)

Krys10

2:09 am

ok, i feel better :)

I think we have 3 D7/36; I don't think I have sprite's yet. It's really 2 AM here . . . I *must* go to bed and quit playing . . . babies will wake up in the morning whether I've been babbling or not! ;-)

babble likes French beans (haricot from previous grid) but not 'carne' ;-P

sprite

2:14 am

Good night, fixitfmly! It was fun playing this morning (night for you)!

sprite

2:15 am

Yes, there are at least 3 D7/36. Found them all now.

Krys10

2:32 am

Ooh!! A cool D 7/8 combo!! refers to law enforcement.

sprite

2:53 am

U8/50 -- unsown

sprite

2:59 am

Oh yes, Krys10, that is a nice one!

sprite

3:02 am

Yet another D7/36: breakbone fevers

sprite

3:06 am

G8/45 -- purine bases combo with 7/32, 6/21 and 7/32.

Krys10

3:13 am

a-HA! That's where all the G's are! Now I can go to bed happy... and we have all the 8's. At least, sprite does, and is good about sharing :)

sprite

3:14 am

That's the fun of this game: the sharing! :) Good night to you and thanks!

sprite

3:44 am

Recap time; guess I have all the biggies now. I'll make a complete list, that is easier, I think. 8s D8/50 -- related to law enforcement G/55 -- planted G/45 -- purine bases Q/65 -- lining up S/65 -- sparkly U/60 -- most singular U/50 -- unsown ------- 7s A/32 -- purine base A/32 -- snakelike C40 -- heavy wooden yokes C/36 -- related to dogs C/36 -- official permits C/40 -- stretching D/36 -- most lacking life D/36 -- breakbone fevers D/36 -- makes bare D/44 -- moistest (in the morning) D/36 -- related to law enforcement (combo with D8) D/36 -- abilities to attract others through personal magnetism and charm E/44 -- putting on (clothing), providing with E/44 -- horses G/36 -- where plants grow (pl) G/32 -- red gemstones G/32 -- purine base G/32 -- purine bases G/36 -- rec'd hospitality i/32 -- colorless organic liquids, obtained from coal tar P/40 -- hammering with a P4/6 Q/48 -- pursued, searched Q/48 (alternate spelling of Q8) S/40 -- nipped, reprimanded S/40 -- divining, foretelling U/44 - without an equal (pl) W/48 -- made broader Strange word, that U/44. How can there be a plural for something without equal? Well, however, while searching for the biggies I have found all the rest. 242 words / 5.16 / 4147 points

Thanks sprite!

Are you sure that the : "E/44 -- putting on (clothing), providing with" isn't actually an E/36? I have an E/7/36 with the same meaning . . .

The only E/44 I have so far has to do with horses...

hit enter too fast. Can't find the other. :(

Krys10

11:09 am

It is E7/36. We were having a rough night last night ;)

can anyone help with the D8 i cant find it from that clue.thanks

EvaNadine

12:30 pm

treble: think of the name of an old cop tv show

thanks

EvaNadine

12:41 pm

i cant figure out the U8/50 that means "unsown"

EvaNadine

12:41 pm

or a bunch of the 7s, for that matter...hehe...

EvaNadine

12:52 pm

oh jeez, just figured out the "unsown" one. wake up brain!!

sprite

2:45 pm

"At 10:38 am testing said... Are you sure that the : "E/44 -- putting on (clothing), providing with" isn't actually an E/36? I have an E/7/36 with the same meaning . . ." You are right, testing, that 44 should be 36. Sorry, typo.

3:15 pm

I finally got the d/7/8 combo. The cop show evanadine is refering to was on TV in the US a long time ago.

periwinkle

4:36 pm

I need help with I words. I only have in/5

Wendrie

5:02 pm

do you mean you only have on in word? I have 8 and 1 id word. I'm still missing the last i word.

Krys10

5:39 pm

there are two IDs. I'm looking for my last IN

Does anyone who's still playing want to compare D words? I have: DA4 DE4x6, DE5x5, DE6x6, DE7x4 Di4x5, Di5x3, Di6 DR4, DR7, DR8 DU4x4, DU5, DU6, DU7 DW5, DW6x2 missing 3.

testing -- not much help, but I do have DE4 x 7

Krys10

9:16 pm

Krys10

9:22 pm

Di5x4
