Hello all! Does anyone have stats for the lone U in the last column?
um5.16
Ta, looking....
Found it, thanks!
Ooo, Matty. New picture of the grand girlie. She's beautiful.
She is SUCH a cutie. I have a whole album on FB now where I collect all the pictures Sarah sends me
Thank you!
Any idea when you will get to see her?
High school graduation ;) Almost certainly not this year - Melbourne is still in full lockdown and Australia isn't letting anyone in in any case :(
She's reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius in that picture. They're starting her education young ;)
Well, I hope things turn around soon. You must feel so deprived.
It's tough
But I'm glad that we have so many communication tools - it's a lot easier to stay in touch now than it was when Sarah was little (with my parents)
It's very sad - I have only seen my kids a couple of times since Mathilda was born and they are only a few km's away. Good news Matty - the lockdown is starting to work and new cases are going down. But I think like you that it will bve a very long time b4 Australia lets travellers in. Maybe her 1st birthday? - heres hoping.
I'd say 50/50 chance of seeing her before she turns 2
only 82 t's??!

Only.

*Waves at Bea
bea, just found your fish and went ahead and looked for the russian ruler too
I got them both as well.
uh-oh, the old word for little person is in here
Oh, is that another word that is non PC these days? So hard to keep track of them all.
yes
I am still wondering what Eskimo Pies will now be called.
omg, that funny Molly LOL LOL
well brown cow is taken
ooh, g is gray!
They were originally called I-Scream Bars.
then they should just go back to that
No more Aunt Jemima or Uncle Ben's either
What's next? Quaker Oats?
there are still quakers around, right?
maybe bigfoot will come out to protest yeti coolers. haha, I kill me.
Yes, there are still Quakers.
bea, I have managed 15 a's on the upper a
Nice work.
Whoa, huge grid.
just trying to get halfway on each tile as usual, it is hard today on some
ooh, grayed the smallest e
Go Carla, go.
There are definitely still Quakers - I am one ;)
I know with a grid this big there are going to be words that I enter that aren't there
Hi Wendrie, thanks for the info!
Mind you Quakers don't have anything to do with Quaker Oats...
yes, but the container has a picture of a quaker IIRC
I'm wondering why now? Aunt Jemima products have been around for over 100 years. Uncle Ben's for over 70 years.
Same reason the are taking down all the statues.
well, now because of the BLM movement
companies are aware that changing their packaging/naming will show more respect and figure this will mean more sales.
Yeah, but if they are offensive now, haven't they always been?
yes, they were - but the companies/people didn't care
Voices are finally being heard that have been ignored too long.
I think they have always been but now there's actually a "voice" the companies will listen to
hmm, I wonder why un-at7 is not a word
133 left after 1st pass. BBL.

morning all
good morning everyone
clue for the tr9?
morning nan
can't figure out why if roped is a word we can't have la 9
you can have la8, nan
tr9 is what happens to water when you add tr7.36
ty aloy -- was following basic spelling rules and put in an extra letter
bea,any other clues for the tr 7? ty
yw, I just monkeyed it and was pleasantly surprised
looking for that tr 7 now
So am I ;)
Which T does it come from, please?
i have a TR 7 from left column - but is there more than 1 TR 7
only one tr7
tr7 comes from center T
clue please teach?
clue for the tr 7 please phaeton?
start like the tr6 before it, drop last vowel and use chemical endind
ending*
mine comes from left and can't see how to extend it - has ending like radioactive element
haven't listed, so no idea on the tr 6
yeah might be from the left...9 comes from the center
i have a tr 6 ending in s
TR 6 - used over and over again
i have tr 5 but no other. please let me know how to get a 7 and 9.
i have several tr 5's.
TR 6 - more TR 5
End it with past tense of consume + a consonant
tr6...babblet...more stale
not did something over and over?
bbl
I don't think more stale is a Babblet
molly it doesnt come from a pl 6 does it?
This board is rated PG. I can't tell you how to get a 9. : D
I think the word in question is tr9, not a pl
does it start with a tr 5 o5 6?
No
i have a tr 9 that is a pt....is that the only tr 9?
clue was drop last vowel from tr 6 and add consumed, but that doesn't work
tr9 three + Spanish aunt + nickname for Edward
add a consonant before Edward....
Nope Nan, that clue won't work. It doesn't end in E
thanks, bzzn, finally got it
ty, Bea :)
No Pen, she is talking about the other nickname, like Kennedy
ty bea
yes.....and it has a consonant before Kennedy....at least my tr 9 does....
using the TR 5 - change last vowel + consumed + pt
Okay, now we know who was paying attention in chemistry class. Not me!
oh.....i see know....sorry, Molly....
got the tr9
cani get a clue for the tu7?
still don't have a tr 7 though
Add the last two of pirate booze
tr 7 ends like something radioactive....
i cant get that clue. tritia is not connected to an "e"...
It's not the nickname that starts with E
Like I said, like Kennedy
ty, pen :)
TR 7 - drop last vowel of TR 5 + add ending of radioactive element
ty pen -- didn't know that was a radioactive ending
rput a cons in first
mkg.....take that word and add *** Kennedy, the last of the brothers...
i am too confused now to think.
tu7 is tu + consumed + sun god
sorry, nan.....it just reminded me of the elements.....
I wonder if the garden room knows it is radioactive?
no idea on radioactive element
mkg....look at my last message to you....
i have a ti 7/8 but not a tr besides several 5s. and the clues are confuseing me.
Time for some shots.
Bottoms up!
give me two, molly.... ;o)
I'm drinking right out of the bottle
i got the 9! whew..........
mkg put a cons in before the short version of edward
ty
Seriously, doubles for everyone
you will get there mkg, just take it slow. you are doing just fine
Another nickname for Edward is Ted.
cleu for the tu 7 pls?
you can pour mine and I'll save it for later
yes got the name bea. ty

phantom: tiramisu
bye bea
thought the triplets would be scottish -- aren't the irish mc's? and the scots are mac's
ok 201 down and heading for the list
That is a myth Nan. Can be either or.
I suppose that could be -- just don't know any scottish mics I guess, but lots of macs. Guess it is the same with Patterson and Paterson
not getting the u word.
a's abolished
um and then not sure what to make of the clues. mad? ad? not sure what the story is but need some help please. ty
um + first person sing. + short for what you turn on when the house gets hot

fw - grid was quite a challenge today, enjoyed it. Sorry I can't chat much bc of an internet that keeps switching off.. (poor signal).. so I rush to get as many words as I can while I can. Hi and bye to all.. Happy Babbling!

Oh Harry, Ru will be so proud of you

swollen mkg
molly, it was on a birthday card I got about 40 years ago
Wow, nothing wrong with your memory
I remember lots of useless things like that.
not a common word mkg, but I dare say you've heard it before
People's names, not so much.
swollen? is that the clue for the T word?
is it tu? i assume so. how many letters?
5 letters
yes, swollen is the clue
thinking. ty
Would anyone be willing to give me a nudge on the HE7 and 8s, please?
thinking how to clue it
a hooker in greece
there you go
and there's actually a 7 and two 8s
Hooker as in prostitute?
from ancient greece, yes
courtesan, concubine...
those greek rugmakers are reknowned for their skills.
ooch
Found the 7, thanks to Google :)
plural it matty
plural it twice
it did mool
Got 'em - thank you!
ty
Matty, the hooker one is in these grids all the time, yet my brain refuses to remember it
Harry is just laying it on with the cornball today : D
The vowels are in all the wrong order

Usul has called a big one! Hi all. diving in.

oh ty molly. I was going the unitarian route
ru was going back a bit farther.
Oh crap, sorry, he is a Superman foe and his name is spelled slightly differently
maybe it's "more like him" ;)
*Goes to sit in the crappy cluers section
it's a big section, I have a monogrammed seat
Oh cool. Do we get monogrammed bar glasses too?
It's strictly BYO, but they'll put it up on the shelf for you
120 to go. bbl all :)
ahhhhh to sit down and babble :D

Us Upended
hello again friends - babble and a sandwich :)
unbelievable :)
hiya trif!
hey trif, happy Monday
hello mool, and same to you!
hello hurshy!
Hi Trif - what kind of sandwich?
pita - turkey, and the lettuce and tomato are home grown
ok ready for a big nerd moment?
love home grown tomatoes warm from the garden
always, hurshy!
Always ready for a nerdy moment
I grew a new variety this summer, and man oh man I will be doing it again! The tomatoes are marble-sized and SO flavorful!
phantom: tuatara (only because i just read an article about this animal, which has like no living relatives, being more closely related to prehistoric creatures, looks like a lizard but actually its DNA is way more crazy)
Not a phantom for the alternate ;)
phantom terrarium
oh i didn't know it could HAVE an alternate, i will have to look
thanks moo
Yeah, in NZ we never spelled it that way, but the dictionary has had it for as long as I can recall
you never spelt it which way, with the e?
correct
mk good to know
you can have the root of that gwen
I assume it was "manglification" of the maori word
halfway done, still no nbt, argh
got the root, tanx
gwen, i really wished you were here a few days ago when i did a name that proper noun cause Strax was in the grid, nobody around knew that one
LOL!!
been busy lately, too pooped to come to the puzzle, usually -- today i'm already pooped, taking and afternoon break
:D
hello trif
hello TO! (poem)
Hi TO :)
:D
hello wendrie
trif, i
arideum (not a word)
read about your sandwich. we have one called philly local you might enjoy
arideum, sounds like a dry-house in ancient rome :)
corner T?
i planted Mr. Stripey and it's just now flowering. the plant is over 5 ft. not a good year here
at this rate i will not have any until the end of september. very disappointed.
this is a friggin lot of T words today
so far i have had two san marxano and one burpee compact.
corner t means swollen
hmm, when i think swollen i think of ed5...
slartie (not a word)
This swollen word is often used in romance novels for um...another kind of swelling
thesaurus to the rescue!!
Kanye for President? The world has truly gone to hell.
ha, i never read romance novels, unless you count, like, Jane Austen, which hopefully you don't.
and Jane Austen would NEVER talk about that kind of swelling!
oh, yeah, i'm voting for Kanye, another mentally ill megalomaniac LOL
I like romance novels but am too hot to think of that sort of swelling...
back leter, if pos. bye all
I would never count Jane Austen in with the romance novel writers
molly, he's apparently bipolar and is having a manic period rn
ugh, i still need FIFTEEN t words! soooo many T words!!!
I look at the three fold picture of Kanye, Trump and Biden and all I can think is "oh man, we are in some serious trouble"
tis true, tis pity, and pity tis, tis true
TO, in my limited experience thus far, ALL the food in Philly is excellent - haven't had a bad meal there yet!
phantom: termite
The soft pretzels and kielbasa are the best in Philly in the US IMO
I was always partial to the buffalo chicken cheesesteak
i like soft pretzels!
IDK if I can trust a place where the people call spaghetti sauce gravy
Macaroni and gravy :)
I did feel there wasn't as much quality restaurants in Philly compared to other places I've lived though
I have problems with cheesesteaks that have Cheese Whiz on them.
I have a problem with scrapple
cheez whiz sounds good to me but I do think it's odd that is acceptable there
get crazy with the cheez whiz
scrapple is pig related, right?
Oh yuck. My Dad came from Pennsylvania Dutch country and they ate scrapple up there
scrapple is food related...meaning that it has some resemblance to food
scrapple is a required taste...
Scrapple is a congealed mold of pork scraps. I rest my case.
carmite - bugs in autos ;)
I believe they add some sort of grain to it as well
Gs Gone
yes, just looked, they add wheat and stuff. darn, I'm out
I thought carmite might be a spread made out of old engine grease, similar in flavor to vegemite
that is super gross
I hope it is an acquired taste and not a required one, because no one could ever require me to eat it
when I first moved here to NC I kept hearing about livermush. reading the def. of both it actually looks similar.
I lived in PA for 6-7 years, and managed to avoid it
You can get scrapple gluten free - it's using up the remains of sausage making and pig slaughtering so cornbread could be gf
the smell was no more appetizing IMO
darn you, wendrie!
Molly - missed that, yes Aquired, not required. Thankfully as I turned it down every time it was offered ;)
Isn't black pudding the Brit version of scrapple
I thought black pudding was blood
so, which would you eat first, scrapple, livermush, or haggis
why must we be ruining all our appetites
Well I've had liverwurst before, and pate...so I guess that's the closest
Starving to death sounds like a better alternative
LOL, I'm eating right now
But why eat something if you don't need it
Black pudding is a sausage - usually cut into slices. Haggis is more like cabbage rolls. I was in Edinburgh for Burns Night this week and I was told I'd get a gluten free Haggis dinner.... it was a mushroom omelet ;)
Scrapple was more like a hash when I was offered it
The typical scrapple I saw was like molly mentioned, a mold that was then sliced and fried
are you gluten free, wendrie?
sadly yes Carla
same, also against my will
I was a HIGHLY unusual pregnant person - no morning sickness. The one and only time I barfed, in three pregnancies, was when mr hate fed me black pudding
*plays TAPS for the gluten free folks*
LOL
brb
It kills me that people go gluten free with no health reason to do so
trif, I only felt slightly sick one time in 2 pregnancies. I had all kinds of other less common things though, carpal tunnel, PUPPS. okay, those are the only things I can think of.
me too, molly
Molly - I figure that they're increasing the market and therefore more stuff becomes available for me.
rare that we get both singular and plural at6 and at5
*Had to look up PUPPS, it's a rash, Carla didn't have puppies
my friend thinks I can eat gluten in Europe because "their wheat is different". I have explained more than once that Ireland has one of the highest rates of celiac in the world.
Their wheat is different? First I've heard
yes, and I don't rem. the words, so I had to use the acronym PUPPS
are there any AU words?
I have a gf friend who found she could eat Irish sourdough, I've not tried it.
she has another friend with a wheat allergy, which is different from celiac disease, and her friend could drink the beer over there, etc.
no Hurshy
No wonder. Who would remember Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques
ty wendrie
exactly. I think my dr. said it was only her second time seeing it in a patient. but my cousin had it too.
Es Extinguished!
I find it amusing when products like eggs have "gluten free" stamped on the carton. It's become a sales strategy.
Like when LITE was on everything there for a while
even better when your jar of peanuts says "MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS"
my dd laughs when she sees that and fat free on the marshmallow packages
Oh Hurshy wins. That is hilarious.
it is a double-edged sword - more products and labeling but people in restaurants taking it less seriously due to the trendiness.
I saw "antibacterial" on a bottle of window cleaner. As if people were going to lick their windows and needed to make sure they were germ-free.
well my cats constantly press their noses on the windows
i clean off the nose marks and they are back in a day or two
People are actually using Clorox on their hands and wrecking their skin in the process
bbl
My doggie door is always a giant mess of dog nose slime and dirt. I clean it and an hour later it looks like pigs straight from a sty have been using it.
Welcome to the chat. Current topic of conversation: Pet snot. : D
The struggle is real :D
Pet snot matters!
is imploded
oops no wait one more i tile
from which i can only find id4
kitchen, dining room, front door, & bedroom windows all have dog mess on them. it's hard to clean off too.
The other one is im6
thanks molly!
hmm, care to clue the im6? not seeing it
an inn for pilgrims in Turkey
It is some Turkish word for a hospice for visitors
oh, that?
yes, that
I never see it. My brain refuses to remember that one too
are there any MU words?
points?
21
No mu
I don't have any, hurshy, but still need 15 m's
Although I was sure that mucal would be some form of mucous
me too
yeah, tried it
I also tried The Ghost and Mrs. Mu4
amirite is in the grid
how about bags of flour that tell you to cook it before eating?
and kitty snot is sooooo hard to clean from windows.
well, TO, you know how they always say don't eat raw cookie dough & cake batter, etc. mostly due to raw eggs in it, but flour can also be an issue.
weevils
The all time worst is powdered baby formula that says ADD WATER BEFORE FEEDING. Really?
but how have lived for decades and not seen this caution?
i mean, no wonder the older generation is so tough...;)
um, there are no words...
*imagining some idiot spooining dry powder into a baby*
my grandmother got really sick with like an allergic reaction in her 80s after eating strawberry shortcake. at first they thought maybe she'd developed an allergy to strawberries after that many years, but now my mom thinks it was something to do with the flour.
The coffee cups that say "warning, contents may be hot." Oy Vey.
although i suppose that is one of the tenets of the camapaign vs. nestile and formula- non-availability of clean safe water
and as far as the baby formula thing goes, there are some real idiots that have babies and some really young people that have them, so that one doesn't surprise me as much.
i once saw a very young girl waiting for the el dripping coke from a straw into a very wee one
well, I am quite certain my mom used to put coke in a baby bottle for me
i mean, it would not really harm the child but still- caffeine in a baby - imagine that crying jag
carla, as a really little one? i mean a couple months?
Label on a hair dryer: DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING
great. no wonder the world is going to hell
no, I was probably 3 or 4.
I always want to dry my hair while sleeping, is that odd?
babies having babies. it's just awful.
I think I was 3rd child so they didn't care. LOL
Label on a frozen dinner: Serving suggestion, defrost
plus it was the 70s
my friend used the hum of a hair dryer to lull her kid to sleep. she worried that the first thime the girl went to a salon, she's just zonk out while being styled. :D
lol so you were the luvs kid, the others got pampers? :P
I almost zonk out every time at a salon, it's very relaxing
Ss Sunk!
i hate having my hair washed by anyone other than me.
styling is nice
my oldest bro was born in '64 - he had cloth diapers because there is a story of him crying and crying and my mom finally discovering she had pinned it to him.
don't EVER zonk out with a stylist you don't know. this from personal experience
uh oh
i did LOL on that one!
i got awful badly cut layers.
no wonder we are stong! :)
phantom: castrate
finally found the 2 i's on the left!
5 tiles grayed, 123 words left. hahahaha (hysterical laugh crying)
33 left here
stayed up late and did most of this one. feeling awfully tired. i did work Thurs Fru Sat at the festival. not used to all that work time.
let's compare 9s
I have been chatting more than word seeking
I just have 2, the ir and the un
eu9, ir9, un9
oh there was an eu9 clue when i arrived
but i'm going to alter it slightly
i just got off the phone with the gym that seems to hin i won;t be back until January means charge me for july though I was not there. :?
e + Martin L***** + author Fleming
does it start like kevorkian's thing
yes
so yes

it sounds like an island in the bahamas
minus its L
now just need 1 e from right and left
related on the mother's side
ooh, just right now
mideastern ruler
and his domain
I always forget that word and you always clue it that way (related on mothers side), so I don't know if I have it or not
ok must go get fresh produce for the week, i am out and it's too hot to cook much.i am quarantining for the most part next two weeks just in case, so planned to go early in the AM or late at night but the cupboard is bare
oh, it's the domain
lol
e's done!
two domains
good luck, TO
yeah cause you can get the same words for A
7 tiles gray
ty, i treid yesterday but too crowded. walked right out.
I went to Costco earlier, not bad at all
tonight i will make a flatbread pizza tieh gourmet sausage, peppers, and oregano from the garden with fresh mozz
i would like to get one more upper A word before i list, but, idk
sunday AM seems to be a big shopping day here.
I have 17 there, hurshy
no tomatoes on the vine, they are lagging.
i need gas from costco. i think tuesday is the lower rate day
lower rate gas? I thought it was always lower than other gas stations. no?
yes but gas tends to increase in price on/before the weekend. at least around here. prices change based on the price for the storage tank refill time
phantom tiramisu
but it is 99.8% of the time lower, thiugh not consistenly by how much. at least around here. NJ it is aleays lower.
it's beastly hot and humid, with lots of ozone today. stay safe!
NJ is lower due to the presence of oil storage from off-loading. No freight to stations of great distances...
Why quarantining for two weeks just in case? Did I miss something?
i worked low to med risk for musiikfest. mos twas virtual but ther performers in the tv studio needed tending.
and some people WILL get right in your face, even with a mask it is awful
in counting o er 300 people for capacity issue, only two unmasked. not allowed in.
make that about 3000
I thought that was canceled.
so i will lay low. as compared to the usual social whilrwind of activites available.
Oh, they streamed it
not cancelled. virtaul except for socially distant ticketed events. i counted poeple for the food truck grab and go. huge parking lot with only abbout 15 trucks.
on lline but the cable company set up a studio in their garage for live tv. i did that as well a couple of nights.
Socially distant ticketed event does not sound in the least bit fun.
no eating there.
you know, it sold out within hours. you could buy a table- for your group- or a lawn spacce for only $10. each lawn swuare seated 4. within your space you could remove your mask and eat. it was very compliant. not looking to pack the place, just to keep the festival alive and restore spirits.
counted between 1700-3000 filks coming through to grab food. storms cause lack of power, so mid week was as steady as weekend for food.
finally realized what the 2nd domain was ;)
and people just love their favorite foods. it gave back some of the normal august routine.
anyone have the de6/24 that comes right after the insect repellent word?
cheese steaks with cheese whiz?
first one I have is skin related, hurshy
aha, i got it!

alt sp hokie

skinny redheads hahahaha
Could someone please give me a clue for the ai 7/32?

did you see the food list?
did you all know it's bragust in the sewing world?
no. no i did not.
Thanks, hursh
I did, looks like some good stuff. I don't do food trucks though, sadly.
hah! I too, have 99 to go!
97 now
grrr
so slow though
how do you solve a problem like ma5? how do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
yeah - not sure how much patience I have left.
*Imagines Hurshy dressed like a nun
ty hursh
def didn't have that one
that Mr. Von trapp was kind of wanker.
*a*

I never knew people made their own bras.
um5/16

penalty box for molly and hokie

that's what made me think of bragust anyway, when I found that word
I do not have an re8
I do not
I'm taking a break. TTFN
ok, re5/10 + smallest US state and double that vowel
thank goodness for morewords
wow that's a crazy word
hello again. Whew! I need to just relax here in the AC for a second.
we had to have our a/c fixed today. again.
oh dear, harry!
hopefully it's good now. time will tell.
is there only one re5.10?
I have 2
it is the one that isn't a normal word
that you build off
was trying to figure out hurshy's clue from befroe
rerii?
first the re5, then the last 3 letters you just mentioned
ohhhhhh - got it now. duh
my brain today, oy
we got our "returning to school" protocols
i dread to ask.....
its going to be so unpleasant
we are not going back to the building. it is not feasible. At least until October.
moreso for the kids though. I pity them
wow
we are a small school.
my place is in an uproar. SO MANY elements are undefined and no one will answer questions. For example - the online schedule is only a few hours every day. Many of our staff members are hourly. What happens to them? Are they suddenly getting 3 hours of a pay a day instead of 6.75? That is not what they contracted for.
greetings! may I have the stats for the corner T please?
hello harpjane! tu5.16
tu5/16
hi harp
a few of our teachers are very very anxious.
they've started a petition to make some changes.
I declined to sign on, and got some flak. But I really want to be in school with the kids
i feel ill every time I hear of another district closing after just a few days. How many of these will it take?
the videos of some of these places are wild - the crowded hallways, no masks.
I did get a laugh off a question someone posted on FB this week - "why can't we have a bunch of cable channels assigned to broadcast classes, and all the kids in america could just watch those?" Oh, where to start! For starters, each state has it's own core competencies. Imagine the pearl clutching!!!! You are going to teach our children WHAT? We aren't one of your northern liberal states!
we'll have PBS-blue and PBS-red
Hello you two - have you been in school at all? My school has worked throughout. Firstly for children of key workers and then increasingly for as many as we were able to accommodate. Elaborate and complicated routines but the kids took it all in their stride. A few weeks of holiday left here still - then we'll see how it goes .....
Radio school classes happened during polio and similar outbreaks before
not yet dipp, we're supposed to start up in 3 weeks
we've been doing zoom since march.
the state of Kansas adopted a science curriculum - once more, A SCIENCE CURRICULUM - that requires teachers to include "things which can only be defined as 'miracle'"
Yeah I know Trif.... makes me wonder!
all this computer magic falls under that heading :)
how can you believe in electrons if you can't see them
The republican party in Texas includes a plank in their platform that prohibits the teaching of higher order thinking skills, as it "leads children away from the Biblical teaching to obey their parents."
national teaching? Don't make me laugh!
home rule is fine by me
Phantom: tiramisu
and if districts want to team up, that's great too
mmmmm tiramisu
oooh I havent made tiramisu in ages.....
83 and stuck.

I'm gonna list this here grid.

huzzah for wendrie!!!!

Harry likes to show off his science brain cells : D
I am missing one 9 but I did not see it clued in the chat
hmph.
at the same time, I missed ti4/4, as a red-blooded american male.
di9 is someone who helps you with a food plan
that is the one I am missing
Confess Harry, in high school you went for the science geeky girls, not the big chested cheerleaders.
eh not really. in HS we all went for the easiest prey.
di8,,,not live + slang for breast + Fleming, Bond novelist
dietician is not in the grid
ah, ty Molly
still not finding the la6
Alternate spelling

I just clued the di9 you said you got it

NM I did
After I clued it you said ah ty Molly

ty new word for me
yeah, not familiar with it
can i have a clue for the ir9 please?
are you annoyed, ir9 at trying to find it?
ha! thank you :)
no prob, took me a while earlier to see that
I had the shorter version and did not realize the longer was in the grid
I am looking for am6
i do not have that one yet
ok
looks hindi
apparently it is
the drink of immortality hokie
am+female name
ru with the historics today
better than hysterics
wether it be ancient greek hookers, or mythical indian beverages, he got ya covered
im thinking ambrosia lol
amholygrail
depends I guess
two subjects I seem to know about :D
hookers and booze?
bingo!
or courtesans and liquors ;)
This could go south pretty quickly
sex workers is the new pc term
not sure a courtesan was so much a sex worker as a sex slave
at6/24 pls do not see it in morewords
roman entrance room
the plural is in the grid too, though it's shorter :)
the plural is at5/10, peri
peri... a garden
sorry, enclosed courtyard, not entrance
it's all greek to me
oh and if you add a letter, you get sodium
one of the big health groups here in Charlotte
well, thx, didn't have that
a garden room either open air or covered with a skylights
ah, will bear that in mind if I'm in need of a big health group while in the Queen City
ty all
78 left and slowing down
I feel like I've spent as much time in Charlotte airport as I have in the city itself
did you know cincinnati is also the queen city? we may have talked about that before.
33 and might actually have begun moving backwards
I did not, have spent only a little time in Cincinnati too
I, too, have spent some time in the airport here.
Cincinnati has an unfinished subway system that was started but never finished
have also flown to cincinnati airport from the charlotte airport
At one point I was there so frequently the barman recognized me
I think I flew directly from Miami, but can't recall
their airport is in KY IIRC
yep
across the river
got semi-stuck there once at about 2:30am in the morning
before the days of Uber/Lyft
had to a customer presentation at 8:30am...got about 3 hours of sleep
76 left and done with this
we are on our screened porch with a big storm going on and apparently our power went out
I still have 30 minutes to find some of these 33
tethered to my phone now
tethered to my phone now
most people are
regardless of power status
ha
finally looked up that am6. could not see a woman's name
ah
not a common name
common enough, I just wasn't seeing it.
maybe if you said the meter maid or ms. moreno
yeah, or could have said she was the Eta eater in Australia...but that wouldn't have been helpful
Eta is a brand of butter spread
probably not :D, gotta read the room
pro tip there
exactly, I know who I can and can't use pop culture clues on
I would not have gotten the meter maid for instance
and wouldn't have thought of ms. moreno
and I know you don't watch tv
it's a famous beatles song!
oh
I'm beatles challenged
ok, so no TV or beatles clues for moo
and if it's about the beatles appearing on TV, definitely not
in trivial pursuit, Entertainment was my weakest category, followed by Art&Lit
Ent. was my strongest
Art & Lit was rough for me too
we needed you on our pub trivia team
sports was always harder than it should be
Well sports was interesting for me...because I didn't grow up here
yeah, I usually do well on those at bar/restaurant trivia nights
yeah, I could see sports being hard for someone who grew up that far away
We do pretty well most times
For international sports, like olympics etc not so bad, and hockey I got, but outside of some football knowledge, the basketball and baseball were tough
yep, makes sense
still six 7s, and a pair each of 8s and 9s to go
I still have 79 :D, but went to the list a bit ago. finished the a's now.
still have 4 a's to go
I just need 1 9, but 8 8's and 15 7's ugh
always forget to look at the vowels
always forget the c words similar to my name
ooh found a word
ooh another one...
I'm not even finding words I know to look for
took me 18 minutes to find those
burden of a big board, easy to miss easy words
especially when you have letters repeating
yep, plus I always type so fast at the beginning of big boards that they don't always take and then I think I have the word but I didn't
yeah, know that
and now I have all the c's marked on the list but still missing one here. will have to close the list and reenter in bulk to find it.
still missing 4 cs
do you have a de6/24 after the bug spray ingredient? I saw hurshy ask for that earlier today and I ei6 didn't wait around for clues or it didn't take.
still pouring and thunder/lightning, but now the sun is out
not immediately after it
have it now
imagine if your storm was happening at sea :)
I "found" that word earlier, but didn't think it was in the grid
is that a clue or just an imagination exercise?
clue
you might have to go back a few centuries though, or perhaps think yacht
btw, I would be hurling non-stop right now if at sea during this
yeah, you mentioned you're an acute motion-sickness sufferer
lol, y'all know all my secrets. or I talk too much.
I know no secrets, only what has been publicly disclosed
I'm not all that curious, about people anyway
finally got it, didn't even have the 4 letter word within that
oh, well bonus!
a twofer
plus it clued me one...so a threefer
well depart I must...need any help before I leave?
I never get the remove the rodent word
oh, well you add an e and you get two words
more of a boggle thing
nah, I'll just use the list and look up, have a good night!
plus it's a palindrome
of another word
so it's another twofer, find one get the other
haha, I'm sure I'll know when I see them
definitions are interesting, but can make it harder sometimes :)
de7 before you go?
oh well, have a good evening...good luck
nm, see it
de7, to make less of or to criticize with the intent of reducing it's value
ciao :)
adios
clue for th7,36 please
wow, rain gauge at 2". not sure if it was completely empty but we haven't had rain in a while, so I believe it was
suzeeq, like a kind of energy or shirt/long underwear
well, not really energy as much as heat related
ooh..have that, is there another one?
yes, just checked - I don't have but will look
k
I looked it up, not sure how to clue, hold please
k
LOL, the definition is molasses; treacle. also it was used as an antidote to poison, like snake venom. help at all? wouldn't me
got it...thanks for looking
thanks for making me look :D
lol :)
I lied. I came back. help with first de6/24 pls

Good morning all

I only have 16% of laptop battery left - can I find 4 words before it dies?
I am finding morewords difficult to use lately. words are not alphabetical like they used to be
Or find a charger!
try to channel mool....
yes you can
peri, go to the top of MoreWords and to left click on SORT BY and click on alphabetically, I just had to do this :)
if I get up to get a charger, I'm having supper - 8pm here!
thank you marksdolly
Ah! 10 am here

Sort by in morewords
So it is - how could I have missed that?
alright, finished with 13% to spare (really it shuts down at 5%, so 8). see y'all tomorrow!
Congrats - have a good evening
Peri, morewords...go to the top of the page, click sort and alpjabetically
Sorry, alphabetically
I do not see the word Sort
and I am getting tired
I just checked - I don't have a "sort" option in morewords. At least I can't see one.
ic
But mine was still working alphabetically last time I checked, so not helpful of me.
it was alphabetical until today and I do not see a sort option
Under the box where you type in your words...in morewords...there is LENGTH...EXCLUDED...INCLUDED...SORT if you don't see this you need to change your browser
I do see a sort option now but when I click on it nothing happens
what browser do you us MOlly
You have to click on the arrow next to SORT
I use Google Chrome
ok may have to change but not tonight
36 left and leaving again
Also 36 left - need to go out now. BBL. Enjoy the grid.

Strange. I use Chrome and there is no sort option (or the other options).
For Morewords, I mean.
