morning all! a grid size fit for a Sunday. grumble grump
LOL! It is...
nbs thanks to the corner D
At least fishermen know when to throw something back when it's too small.
Meanwhile, Babblers all over the world had a very productive Sunday.
I did finish an interesting family history project.
Do you do geneology?
No, this was about my Dad's military career.
When my Dad was going through a rough time [health] he wrote his autobiograqphy. Priceless
Yay for a big grid.
morning Scrabbs & everybody
When does Little Miss2Bit start school? Do they have a hybrid model? Most of the schools here are using that.
we are full virtual, at least for the first quarter. something to do with having a governor with an MD, perhaps?
Bichon, that is priceless. I would love to have my Dad's autobiography. He was a quiet man and there is so much I don't know about his younger days.
That is safest for all, Dan. That plan won't make everyone happy but it is safest.
she will start September 8, we pick up a laptop and art supplies for her this week. Kids with free lunch are getting free wifi hotspots as well. I think everybody is doing the best with a cruddy situation, but I could wish that everybody had masked up better in April and May so we could be where Vietnam and New Zealand and other countries are. Thank goodness she is old enough that we can manage it and still work
Full virtual for my grandsons in NC. Daughter in KS has to be in the classroom. She has elected to pay someone supervise her daughter while doing virtual classroom.
You are fortunate. Day care, or lack thereof, has become a huge problem for working parents.
Agreed, Dan. The US management of the pandemic has been laughable and tragic.
My 12 y.o. granddaughter stays home alone. She has a giant pet pig to keep her company.
Haha.
slug
we are indeed - day care in our area has always been hard to get and/or very expensive, and now that demand is up and supply is down, not to mention the risk and cost of extra vigilance...
No criticism intended for the pig or your granddaughter, bichon. Haha.
The pig is not to be messed with and is very protective of her.
Perfect.
Just one story from the pandemic
I love it.
My neighbor is hospitalized with the virus. Our hood is usually bustling with people coming an going and kids out playing in the streets. Not this weekend. All is quiet.
They're very lucky that it worked out this way.
Wow Bea, sorry to hear about your neighbor.
Oh, no, Bea.
Hope she pulls through
From what I understand it was just causing her problems regulating her blood sugar. She was going to be home yesterday or today. Of course, there are about 8 people who live in the house with her.
I'm glad I just talk to her from across the drive.
hi all. any clues for the 9s? ty
last first day of school in our house today
I have no 8s or 9s.
Bittersweet, Carla.
st 8: to get water our of noodles you put it in a st******. then plural for the 8.
yep
oops sorry. not in grid. here goes again:
The bar is open.
when your deck gets old you need to re-st*** it. the person who does this is a st*****. add plural for the 8.
weird first day of school pic, but I had to take one.
taking my oldest to college on thursday
he tried to get me to wait until the day they go back in. who knows if that will ever come.
What about the college student?
Wow Harry. That is a big thing.
clue for x word?
they come back before thanksgiving, and don't go back until 2nd term
freshman, harry?
xe5
yes - she's just starting
ty. will try to fin dit.
got x word. ty.
Harry will your oldest be far away?
I think that is the way many colleges are doing it. App State is doing that.
5 hours by car
but no bus or train to speak of
She must be excited.
nervous
yeah, my oldest's school calendar got changed due to the republic national convention that never happened, and they never changed the calendar back, so he doesn't start until Sep 7 and last exam is like Dec. 23. all his friends are on the finish by Thanksgiving schedule.
good luck to all with school. i wish they would all open up and get back to normal. what a mess
yes, it is a mess.
I saw pictures of kids moving in to my former University. It is so weird to see them unloading into dorms wearing masks.
I'm not allowed to help her move in - she has to carry everything up herself.
no parents in the dorms
and they all must get tested on site negative before going in
found a 9!
he is only 20 min away but he is moving in to a townhouse (he's in 2nd year)
that stinks, HH. what floor is she on?
clue please harry! ty.
first! hahha
harry is that a clue? what is the stat please?
mkg - de9. it's a pl of a de8, which is an extension of de6
well, that's good at least!
Before my daughter went back to Penn State from Texas, she had to do a spit test online, with someone watching her do it. She also has to self quarantine for 7 days. The test was 2 weeks before school starts.
am I the only one that keeps seeing phantom urinated?
yes carla. i didnt see it at all.
Ha! Now I will...
i saw phantom urchin......
I played a little last night and that's all I could see, now I'm still seeing it
trying to find de9 . ty for clue harry

I always miss that in6
I'm finding this very difficult for a grid this size
Agreed
yes it is hard.
well, bea, I don't know which in6 that is, but that helped me find an en6
I am past halfway so I am done. Enjoy the day.
well done, have a good day, scrabbs
i also am half way and that is my goal for each day plus nbt and nbs. so have a good day all.

Morning all. Can I get a clue for ci8?
Hi all clue for the tr8/60 please.
ci 8 is a guitar used in days of old.
Tks much Bea
or guitars as it is a plural
I had the 7, but eyes kept going to upper right and was blind to the s!
tr8 is three + McDonald's sign and sometimes vowel
Government ruled by three persons
gottit thank you thats fireworks for me.
hmm, can't remember a guitar of old
The word always reminds of one of the Harry Potter houses.
Tx for tr8!!
are there any gn?
No gn.
just found a gy, how many of those?
and another
3
ok, finished the g!
My time is up. Need to get ready for the day.
bye bea. about to give up here.
just back from a 2 mile walk for the first time in over 2 months. and I did it in the same amount of time!!
nice
i have 3 of the 9's. ar, de and st. what am I missing
I only have 2, sorry
hello
hi mlfan
hi MLF
phantom: laugh
yep, tried that one
hi luv
i am just starting found a st 7/8
st7,8,9,8
thanks for that extra 8 peri
got a st 6/7
i have 5 7 8
peri....there are two de 9s.....
ty pen looking for the other without success
just found the de 6 8 9
there is de 7/8/9/8 .....uses high point letter....
thanks pen
tyty pen
pen de on 2nd row?
yw...
just made an effort to find the 4's and I still have 8 left.
good morning all -- still looking for the xe 5 and now for the ci 8 guitar (never had anything to do with guitars or western music) - another clue please?
thanks, pen. found them all.
nan....x + man's name....
I don't think the ci8 had to do with western music if you mean country and western. I thought she meant ancient.
ci + most of number after two + consonant....pl....
ty pen for the ci words
yw...
found the ci 7, but can't get to the s from it
this xe word isnt working
remember....x + man's name....
ty for the xe pen
yw...
got it
the ci word can go in more than one direction
maybe there are two ci 7's the one I found sounds like something out of Harry Potter
oh yes - ty luv
yes, but it's a type of guitar.....or a forerunner of a guitar...
are they both ci7/8?
there is only one ci 7/8....
there's only one ci 7/8
ty luv
bea also said it sounded like something out of Harry Potter
missing one g and one t from the top -- any ideas?
You really can plural that ci7. Keep looking
anyone else getting red boxes?
nan.....do you have the te 8?....it's a pl.....
no red boxes here....
I couldn't go that direction either, but when someone tells me to plural it, I just try with s on the end and don't have to visualize it :D
must be a local glitch
looiing, pen
you must have the 7 already....
most of the g's are weird to me so not sure I could even guess which one, nan. also, I'm missing 2 t's from up there.
guess I'm missing te7/8 then
that's really tricky w/that ci going either way
nert
ty pen
Nope, but with an S it works
yw...
now for that missing g
do you have 3 gy?
how about ga 5/16?
tr8 anyone
do you have that nan?
no - a gy 4-5 only - looing again
does the upper te7/8 have a definition?
bea clued it earlier, peri. governing body of 3
as opposed to england is a mo*
tr 8...prefix for 3 + what McD's uses as a logo....add sometimes vowel....
ty pen and bea
thanks carla
bbl
ty pens
carla...."characterized by paroxysms that recur every other day"....
gy 4, 5 and ?
another gy4
it's a type of fever related to malaria...
i wish we had a tr 8 system.
a latin(?) pl
The te7/8 is malaria
And sorry, Pen already said that
hmm, that doesn't really help :D what is the point total?
ty carla
actually, that was good molly because I thought pen was talking about another word
guess we do with president, chief justice of supreme ct and president of the senate and congress but over time the president himself has become more powerful. i wish our supreme court were in charge of appointing all judges in the us.
te 7/28
well that should be easy to figure out
i dont get the malaria clue. ???????
carla....it sort of goes diagonally.....
it seems like this president is trying to make himself dictator by using is "secret powers" --- it seems to me he has already made himself dictator using presidential orders
Oh here we go
afternoon all
what erodes our nation is that the president appoints judges. i believe that we need a new system for appointing judges.
any further clue for te 7???????
sorry molly - but the rest of the world sees him as the man who brought the USA down --- the balance of power will probably shift to China because of him
there's not that many options for that point total and yet I still haven't monkeyed it, mkg
ok, mkg, ends like the little green man from the red planet
top row finished!
the balance of power shift started long ago with china. if you read about kissinger going to china in about 1979, that was when the US lost her power. just giving in to china in the UN and kicking out taiwan was the end of u.s power.
ty carla. so te + ? malaria? + green man???????i have ending but still not getting word
t + in***** (lack of movement) + the, a, ** are articles + pl letter....
Well Nan, if the voters have their way, pretty soon you'll have Joe Biden to kick around
just got it! ty.
great clue pen. got it just as you sent it. ty.
yw...
Trump has almost completely destroyed the USA in 4 years --- give him another 4 and the destruction will be complete. As it is, nobody trusts the US anymore -- treaties aren't worth the paper they are written on
I have er4 for top e and that's all I can find. are there ex's I can't see? what is my problem?
carla, there is also en6/7
try en Hokie
thanks, will look
I got a 6/7 from there
ed 4/9 - antsy, or very hip
keep wanting engulf :D
got them, thx both
omg, thanks blah. RME at that one
:)
RME?
:)
you know I just spelled that out for you like yesterday, ru. it's my personal acronym I made up for this game. Rolling My Eyes
lol
oh.. like i keep those things in my head hokie
have I mentioned how i hate acronyms lately?
Carla we don't all know your personal acromyms,
you're just lurking around waiting for acronym use? ;)
LIW
at
sorry, saanichcat, I keep trying to make it happen. I'm just giving ru a hard time because I definitely have told him.
Good morning, all. I share your acrimonious attitude towards acronyms, Ru.
well now that you're here, ru, can you guess my missing D from 2nd row?
gm Judi
lurking in wait or lying in wait, ru?
morning, judi
lynig
lying that is
there are a lot of weird acronyms in serpentine, I'm surprised that doesn't bother you
do you have dy 4 carla?
i only have three d's so far
nope, thanks nan. was wondering if there was a dy. will look.
got it, thx. 1st & 2nd rows gray!
do you want to guess my missing d now?
and I hit 50 left. must get on with some real work now. but I'm just sewing right near my computer, so I will be looking out for clues ;)
do you have de4/7?
most sere?
pen's was going to be my 2nd guess
ty pen - that was it
yw....
is there an ex or more than one er?
I have 2 er4
no ex
both from the top e, dolly?
1 is from the side
and the other from the lower left
going to leave this for a while - back later
1 is poetic and the other is a seabird
finally found the L's and G's.. stumped me for a long while
phantom dendrite
good morning, yall
hello DC
hi, ru. i'm sipping coffee hoping headache flees.
oooh sorry to hear that
I haven't gotten bad headaches for a while now that i'm divorced :D
Eh, all good. it's been a long while since. Frankly, maybe i should take a bit of Tylenol. This is minor as such goes.
finally closed out that upper d..
Thank you for not saying they are "demolished"
the th words are driving me crazy....
hello, 65 to go here
my friend's mom used to sell lucite when I was a kid
i had a lucite watch i was very fond of as a teenager....
it was all the rage for about a year.
yes...
60! I'm listing. this is going too slow.
now i gotta get to sixty
can't find my last word....th 5/18?
so freakin competitive ru
just got it pen
ends in secrets of the ** ** sisterhood
Ru, if I was being snobby, would I refer to you as a viticulturist?
ty.....thought i had tried that....i am done....
no.. i'm not that
wtg pen
this was a tough grid...
congrats pen!
ty, harry...
ty, saani.....
So it's not the grapes, just the wine?
i am off to get lunch.....bye all....
correct. I have little to do with Grapes
Got it
done! time to get cookies. hagd all
Lucky Harry. He gets cookies when he's done.
i wonder if DC is baking them for him?
ru, what's the count now?
25 but it's a bit sloggy
now I gotta get to 25
not sure how that will be possible though
i'm not sure one more is possible with me
I still have 50
i'm struggling with the a for some reason.. missing 6
I still need 7
can't see where any more are possible
I think ar7 and 8 are pretty bizarre
oh big a's
hmm, I have ar8/9. will look for those 2.
well, not arlutch
not arcsine, I keep waiting for the day that is in the grid.
There are two sets of ar7,8. One is a mineral, the other an alternate spelling of a Russian unit of length(!)
well, I guess that's 4 of my missing 7 and now ru should have know what his missing 6 are.
Oh sorry Carla. I thought you were trying to find them without clues.
I think I have reached the limit of finding words without clues. and I was using them earlier.
12 here but i think i have to list once i find my last four
Okay. I guess I just made the assumption that if you didn't ask for clues, you wanted to clue for the word yourself. As Samuel L. Jackson says, that's making an ass out of u and umption. : D
I went back to sewing after not seeing the ar7's :D
*look for the word yourself
will look for more during lunch :D
ahh, nice, 10x bigger than yesterday!
it's harder than a usual one of this size though, hursh
hmm ok
i admit i'm having difficulty finding a third L
la5
ah thanks
normal word and everything!
it actually took me a while too
and of course enable doesn't know yet that te4/9 can be a verb and have a past tense :D
enable predates that being a common thing
yeah
wait, la5 is the only one I can find! Stats for the other two?
back then you had to pay extra for that on your plan plus your phone had 3 letters per button and it was very tiresome
lu5/14 and pl
lu5/14, 6/24
that just shows that you're not too far gone as a babbler, mael, you see real words more easily than obscure ones
thanks, got them
haha
well, i've managed to find 40 of 46 T words, that's not too bad
but babble has ruined me for all other puzzle games because they don't accept obscure words that I KNOW are correct :)
yeah that's super frustrating
I only have 5 T words left, all lower one
We do the Spellling Bee from the NY Times. They don't accept many words that Babble does
if yu4/9 is an alt for yuck, and yuckiest would go, then why can't we also put that ending on yu4/9?
(because i can't find the other Y)
just came from the Spelling Bee....love that game, but they don't take uncommon words....
anyone doing well on the top E? all i can find is er4/4
ed 4...
en 621 and pl
en 6/7...
thanks cat!
welcome hurshy!
also ed4/9
yeah, sannichcat said ed4
that was pen. We're all chipping in!
oh, pen, yes
we are really on the ball today haha
better than yesterday that's for sure
I also love Spelling Bee but find it super frustrating because it is so arbitrary in what it considers "uncommon" words
we almost have strychnine
if that lower R were an N, say, then, it would be
i am curious if any babblers have registered for Phase III COVID-19 vaccine trials?
i would but a lot of times you have to not be on any other meds for studies, idk if this is like that
aha but we DO have another poison
what?
we don't have strychnine in the gird but we do have ar7/32
oh. misread. bye
well the bottom D i got all of pretty easily, but the top D i only have 6
aHA i found the other 4, all related
9s: ar9, de9 x 2, anyone have the fourth 9?
st9/54
st9
ok will look
got it! thanks!
yw
that only leaves 2 left S, too!
help with the la5 pls
The locking thing on a gate or door
sheesh, ty Molly
oh look, we don't often get the baby swan!
oh, did not have, tyvm
ty hursh
still can't find the first ar7 when I know what the 3rd, and probably 4th letters are
*falls into chog* Hey, All!
Keep looking Carla
hi
hi again
Hi, Nan
ar + crepe de ______
Hey Hursh! Long time no see
shew, thanks, hurshy. and thanks for the encouragement, molly but I can't see anything. can't see my last 4 c's either. and I am on the list!
didn't want to hear that carla - going to the list and hoping it will help!
still 25 left.
finding all the 4 and 5 babblets I missed
first en 6/21 please?
en6/21 - adj of the prior words
thx, vic. thought I had tried everything.
not seeing it
oh -- got it - ty vic
My pleasure.
sc 5/16 please?
268 left...
hi mool
hey nan, busy morning so just getting started, how's things up north?
Hey, Mool
hey aus, happy monday
Happy Monday Mool
really hot - supposed to be 41C with humidity index today
tx :)
yoiks, that's rough
well, 100 down...and I've already found 8 eights and 2 nines...this might be a good board
not too bad -- just long
yeah, lot of words for sure
stuck on th 5/18 though
that and the sc 5/16
did you ever watch hogan's heroes?
the sc is most of the guard's name
ty mool
yw
I see nothing :)
the th...not sure how to clue this one
hey moo! I think this is a horrible board. I still have 24 left AFTER listing.
do you know the country where they drank the koolaid?
jonestown
yikes hoke
it wasn't kool-aid, it was the other brand!
:D
oh, well that country, the 2nd-4th letters are the end of the th5 word
I just keep thinking of Col. Klink, I think that was his name
yep, and there was the guard who would say "I see nothing"
somewhere in SA mool is all I know
which is what nan wrote :)
weird word, thanks
yep, just can't think of the guard's name. I can picture him. we watch that show a lot while camping.
just figured them both out from the stats, claim no former knowledge
the th is a tree it seems
apparently of the tree of life maybe?
if it's latin name is to be translated literally
yeah, the sometimes vowel in the th5 is often a j. Both spellings are valid.
you know, some parts of the west are gulchier than others, but arizona might be the gulchiest
don't see how to get from the 2nd letter of the country to the 4th
the second through 4th letters of the country become the 3rd-5th letters of the word
surprised that's not accepted
indeed
they shall hear from my lawyers
haha
once I hire some lawyers
then I don't have the correct country
last two letters are affirmative
it's in south america. th5 ends with the ** ** Sisterhood, as someone said earlier.
Hey, Seain!
te4ed is very much a word.
hello, Aussie, moolingwa, and nan!
hey dc
good mondays to you
long time since we've overlapped here, aussie :)
don't now the sisterhood can't think of a country that fits -- this is the th 5/18 right?
yes
yes, nan.
last two letters are affirmative
The sisterhood is a book by Rebecca Wells
I know Seain, very long time
well thuay isn't there, so I am stumped
i play irregularly. bothered to get out the computer today :)
i'm making bread, one milk bread, and one cinnamon raisin milk bread.
almost got it there, nan
oh -- swedish affirmative - hadn't thought of that
thanks for your patience
:)
it's a tree, google tells me.
oh, Lucite is a trademark .
think I'll just look the 6/27 up
oh - no need monkeyed it
do love Monkeys Nan
rats
*!*~*!* thanks for the help
oh fudge!
anyone want clues before I leave?
oh, darn! That's the end. LOL
i'm good, thanks, nan, have a great evening.
I'm only half trying.
ok -- off to get lunch - stay safe everyone :)
i'm only halfway
You're in the grid today dc
oh, so i am. and in the possessive case too. :)
indeed
aussie!
Hey, Owl!! Have missed you
my goodness, it's been ages. how are things?
Things are good here
good to hear
How are you, Owl?
hanging in there. damned virus.
:( This virus really has done so much damage everywhere, killed so many people, 3 of my friends have passed away from it
i am very sorry to hear that.
i have to leave the last 50 for later. good to see you.
It was good to see you too Owl
hope to see you again soon.
back again, had to take some calls
I have 4 c's I can't find - don't want to say the stats and spoil it unless you are finished, moo
nah, 64 left here
have 6 c's remaining
let me see if I can find them
ok
nm, got to check on the cat...feel free to post the stats if you want help
that's okay, I'm just doing other stuff too
ooh, finally found 2
go, go carla!
and there's the other 2 c's, didn't expect that spelling
now just 17 left - 6 + 7 S and 4 T
Any hints for the in word? please.
nm got it
Gramma, can you clue the in word please?
think of mcdonald's or st. louis
St.Louis has an **** welcoming you to the west.
THX
Actually St.Louis isn't west but the gateway to the west. I believe
Thanks. I immediately understood.
what is up with morewords? it's been acting oddly and now it seems to have gone off the rails.
okay, back to see if I can find the last 64
Moreswords was all messed up the other day....had to keep adjusting the "sort" option to A to Z, otherwise the words came up in random order every time. I haven't tried it today.
it gave me the words within the letters not the words beginning with the three i inserted. finally had to reset it.
someone, I think Molly, posted a response from morewords about the issue and it is supposedly fixed now
"more swords" ....ha ha ha
"more swords" ....ha ha ha
hmmmm, sorry about the echo!
mine changed it to forewords
is that like those first easy words you find before you get into the middle of a grid?
maybe
what do you call the hard ones you struggle with at the end?
PITAwords?
hmm
or horrorwords (to slightly rhyme)
endwords would be the most logical
but not particularly creative
buttwords
dregwords
I am trying to find that sc5 that I think you were cluing earlier. was that the hogan's heroes clue?
yes
lol, I like dregwords
most of the guard's name from Hogan Heroes
Okay, going to try Morewords for the first time today....will see how it looks.
dregwords has a certain...je ne sais quoi
imdb to the rescue!
imdb is a legitimate source ;)
now only 11 s's left and the 4 t's
O have seven s's and 8 t's to go
and 35 other words
I also have the list which has not helped me much
:)
CR 7 and 8? Clues please.
kinda sounds like an alternative to burial
you know those bumps on the tops of castle walls gramma?
kinda, sorta sounds like those
I wish I did.
Oh I got it! ty
alternatively...
another word for make with an additional letter thrown in
the hebrew educational institution sc5?
I have a lot of long words remaining
with covid19, there's a lot more airhugs going on
there are like 6 long a's
yeah
figured, I still have 7 a's to go
oh, found two...thought i'd tried that already
three
speaking of three, just found a fraction that I should've found already
well no bronze medal for you then
well I just found a 4/5 combination that is probably a result of playing this grid a long time
I definitely did not come in that place
ah, I miss the olympics
When I was a kid in NZ, olympics were fun, now they don't really hold any appeal to me
is the last th6 related to that tree from earlier? I have tried adding all kinds of letters added to that
I don't have a th after that, so not sure...let me look
sorry
no worries, have 40 left...probably not going to finish
so all good
I wonder if the sometimes vowel is 3rd letter, but not getting that either
yes, that was my immediate guess
yep, it was :)
odd word
TH+ sometimes vowel + most or the rude version for the bum.
you don't say :D
Ne5/16?
to be really into something
hmm, wondering if the rude version of bum is different in UK
that may not be cool
yes
une, I am ne5 about a lot of things
it's different in the uk
harry potter, x-files, buffy
Nm!!
...words...
Got it, hokie :-)
maybe if you needed a drink, but could finish the word properly hoke
couldnt
extricrate - to try to remove your pup from their overnight home
lol
harder to say than type
would need another t anyway
well, I was reading it without the r at first and was like, what are you cluing?
you guys are soooooo far above me, linguistically! I am at a loss for words most of the time. This game has really put me in my place. ;-) In my own little world, I am considered the lexophile. Not so much here.....
and I finally looked up the th - was looking at the bum clue the wrong way
oh we don't really know what we're talking about lex, so don't worry
well, moo is in a league of his own
Morewords seems to be back to normal. My problem today is that I have to often type a word several times before it will enter. I even changed to my newer laptop and it is doing the same thing. Is anyone else having this problem?
ashould of started at the bottom, Hokie LOL
a number of words today are first timers for me
Cheers to Moo's league! May I one day be worthy to join the ranks, lol....
the league of very ordinary gentlemen
birds and words...two of my favourite things
All the time, dianedecoder. It is very annoying. I have started to refresh the babble page before I leave if I need to come back to it otherwise lots of words have disappeared.
curds are good too, if combined with fries and gravy
I am stopping with 4305 points. Time for me to retire for the evening. Happy babbling everyone!
night zoo, have a good 'un
I am down to 11, all S
night, zooz
I simply cannot see all the words you guys are able to (easily) find! Thankfully, I am not bothered by not finishing a grid - I have probably finished less than a dozen in 10 years....
down to 36...all words beginning with letters
I finish maybe a couple of times a week
I should hope so
I have had words disappear overnight, but this delay in seeing the word being accepted really spoils the flow of the gamel.
but I don't think I've ever actually finished a grid without any clues
Ha! Yes, all beginning with letters... I just don't seem to be able to find them (and so many are simply too obscure for me)
The game really needs a 50, 000 mile tune up
today's grid was very hard for me. harder than usual for this many words.
50,000 miles? I feel there's a lot more on this game than that.
I used to be the Boggle Queen back in the days when we played boggle in person (ChampFit and I were neighbors then)... this online crap has kicked my butt and put me squarely in my lowly place...
I was being generous
clue for ci 8 please
I know, my friends & family in real life don't like to play me because they think I'm making up words and I destroy them, but here, middle of the pack or lower.
*looks up at middle of the pack for hokie*
nancy, there is a br word for collective brothers. ci8 kinda sounds like that for not brothers, but ___ if someone has a lisp. and wow, what a bad clue.
ru, you are near the top
that's a disability clue hokie even worse :D
what if I said a spaniard instead?
I left the Houston area where we had a group of ladies who got together weekly to boggle (and drink "health drinks", of course). Moved to the OKC area where NO ONE gives a shit about words!!! Had to satisfy myself completely online. Not the same.....
I am not near the top..
ty but I finally put in the plural of the 7 which I already had. holy moly babble blindness strikes again
you are near the top of the players I interact with
I drank with you Lex!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, obviously I didn't even clue the one you asked for, nancy
oh.. you should hang around the real top players homie
CHAMP!!!!! Those were some of the BEST times ever!!!!
:)
I thought health drinks in OKC was beer?
so i can feel stupider (probably acceptable in enable)?
drinking makes boggling so much more fun :)
I think that's why "health drinks" was in quotes.
It a moot point since no one in OKC boggles and bevs.
Ugh. beer.... not really, ru. Although OK just made regular beer (over 3.2%) legal maybe a year ago???
Dear goodness...what on EARTH? How have you survived????
We always had orange juice and/or cranberry juice in our drinks.... Healthy, right????}
I have so many interests that none of my friends share: sewing, quilting, word games. at least my camping friends like to play cards.
colorful.. not necessarily healthy
I can't post my interests here homie :D
Lol, we actually knew that, ru, but we declared it "healthy" anyway
please don't ;)
7 st's left, all right in a row in the list. I am missing something.
but word games is on my list :D
Word games are definitely on my survival list!
are on my list ... excuse me
serptenine is frustrating to me because I focus on typing all the short words fast but I really need to look for longer words
OKC is Oklahoma City?
I think moo must've turned into a pumpkin
As I'm polishing off a fifth of cheap ass vodka, I have to say that words and word games are vital for my well=being.
LOL, yes, ru, you anti-acronymite
Yes, ru, OKC = Oklahoma CIty
my father's family is from an area near there sorta
I do play on serpentine, but it is not forgiving... You tend to stay about where you are rated... I'll never ascend beyond blue, I"m afraid
what are you on serpentine lex?
I'm in a suburb of OKC, Edmond, which is actually a beautiful place to live
*Cues up Merle Haggard: I'm Proud To Be An Okie From Muskogee
I've never gotten out of gray there. got up to about 1150 once and dropped down to about 1000 at one time. recently got up to 1115-ish and lost like 70 in 2 days.
On serpentine, I am now cajunlexophile. The profile I first created was lost, so I had to come up with a new name....
just found some beer mugs!
i'm trying to get back to yellow myself hokester
it's just been a tough crowd there the last few days
Yellow? Ho Lee Shit. I can't seem to ever get past blue. Often fall down back to pink....
I don't think I'll ever make it out of gray
i love coming on as a new player sometimes and win as a amateur and they all think i'm cheating :D
Yes! Of course they think you are cheating! I played as a guest for many months because I wasn't able to login with my original name. I was accused several times of cheating.
i know .. i just do it to get everyone's feathers ruffled there :D
clue for either of the st8? just can't find these words
st8 is used to make candles
why would they accuse you of cheating? guests don't get any rating or anything. what's the benefit?
I could wax on about it if necessary
compound?
no
it is very twisty though
so not starslut
well, some people see guests who do well as "hackers" or people who use cheat programs..(I can't be more specific because I don't understand the crap! Why the hell would anyone gain any enjoyment out of cheating at a word game??????)
starslut ? ha
homie.. you crack me up
but my argument is you're receiving nothing even if you are cheating. accolades? that mean nothing
back again
I used to get accused of cheating at boggle games a lot :)
well, looked up one word and found 4. can safely say I do not know those words. 1 left!
woot
36 left here
gotta run kids.. have fun
later ru
bye ru
You are so right, hokie. Accolades mean nothing as a guest on Serpentine. I often don't even read the chat log, as I'm trying to learn about all the words I missed that particular round!
oh, I play some serpentine
finished! will try some serpentine now, see how many points I lose. ;)
who are you, moo?
I play over there as JuliusFish
which room? I don't recall seeing that name
the hard room
yeah, I occasionally start there and then move to medium.
I know marksdolly only plays in hard room
I don't really go out of there
Interesting. It seems many of the Babble junkies are also Serpentine junkies. How do you guys have so much time for on line word games? I can barely keep up with this one.
I have learned to bend time
I just found it via here in the last 6 mos or so and I haven't played that much recently due to our RV project.
speaking of marksdolly, she's in the hard room right now
so is moo!
yeah, she's the one that brought me over there
ah, well almost gotta go anyway
not surprisingly, moo is red!
ri6/18 pls
one who washes shampoo out
duh ty carla
well, it's kinda grammatically weird
so have entered st6/24, you know, what you do to shirts to make them crisp, but it's not showing up in my list, and says I already entered st6/24, same thing when I add the sometimes vowel letter. Is this happening for anyone else?? curious...thanks
I have had that before, sajarn. Usually I have to reload, or exit and reenter
I'll try than, thanks so much!
that did the trick.
its a weird glitch - happens rarely, but happens
yeah, usually refreshing the page fixes that problem.
anybody around who can clue the th6,27?
A compact branching inflorescence, as of the lilac, in which the main axis is indeterminate and the lateral axes are determinate.
oh.... of course
could I ask for something a little dumber?
I mean, I can google I suppose...
Old English fotvyou, then head SE in the grid. Add a vowel.
‘For you’
thanks, SueMagee
