There are a lot of not real words in Babble...
Clues are up
ca7
None of the words in the Babble dictionary are not real words,. They once were, even in the mispellings, because language changes over time. However, the dictionary hasn't caught up with more modern times and so doesn't accept things like email, spam etc.
The Enable dictionary was created specifically as a list of words for words games, and was not well checked. I'm certain that some of the words are proper nouns, and some seem likely to be typos of some sort.
I stand corrected :)
Even printed dictionaries have been known to contain non-words (at least one - "dord").
Actually I'm sitting.
makes me wonder how long the slang short term for tr**onometry has been around - doesn't seem like a "real" word to me.
About as long as there have been classes in it, I would guess. Students love abbreviations.
da7
and also, I've noticed "'evite" is acceptable - how so, if email isn't?
It's a verb, meaning to avoid or shun.
(archaic)
cu7
must be, I've never seen it in all my years of reading.
must be archaic, I mean.
They're telling me that 'cringy' isn't a word, like they're just expecting me to forget all of my teenage years.
I know - I think I've tried it twice. But, now you've given me st7.
(x 2, I mean)
finished
good night all and have fun
Fireworks! *~*~*~* Can't believe tha my last word found was co4.5 - metal money. Must be due to that 2020 fact of not having been allowed to use or touch that for so long now.
well, congrats and g'nite to you both! :)
oh, really? now that bit of slang is also a word? I give up, haha... (and here I was still looking for co + behaved to make an 8. finally figured out it's really a 7)
haha me too rbud - finally found the co8 which is also slang i think
oh haha I see you just said it
yep - but that was before I knew what it was, at least. :D
as9 is definitely not one likely to be monkeyed - I had to cheat and check lickety, couldn't stand it any longer, haha. Never heard of it.
me too - then had to find it on more words - took me a good while :)
FW - not an easy grid for me
co8! ;p
I've stalled and become distracted at 100 for now.

Good morning everyone. May I please have stats for the O in the fourth row, fourth column?
Atlantic, Pacific
thanks

Name our Babble Pirate Queen in todays grid
Oh dear. *Prepares for complaints about the c word*
I think they would be complaining about how hard the C words are today.
I'd sooner complain about that. When it comes to 'dirty words' in the grid, I really don't care. When the word is out of context, just part of a word list of words that (mostly) exist, it is, to me, stripped of its offensive meaning. Words are only offensive because society says they are (and so they're used that way) - if the cu4 were expunged from dictionaries and from our memories, some other word would arise (or change its meaning) to take its place.
Me, I'm still looking for the co8
Wehn you get that co8, matty, we will tell you co8.
apparently co8 can not be singular
morning all!
Very good points Matty.
toned
There is some very misleading chat earlier which looks like the co8 is co + behaved. It is not.
Anita must be exercising : D
lol molly sorry wrong box!
And thanks for the co8 - got it now!
This grid has some twisty ass words in it. My eyeballs are sore. : D
My other word that should not be deleted from all language, but from the daily grid. Imagine that there is a women who plays who was a victim of domestic violence and was called a ***. So far, I am for taking out the n word and the j word, and a few others, out of respect for game players.
Here is how much COVID sucks. The Rockettes have cancelled their Christmas Spectacular for the first time in 87 years. : (
what happened 87 years ago. Ah, yes- 1933.
Nothing happened. They have never cancelled in 87 years. The first show was in 1933.
The Rose Parade is also cancelled. Happy New Year from COVID.
Ah. Your statement was ambiguous. For the first time in its 87 year history. The Ziegfeld girls and the Flora Dora girls predated the Rockets? I have to brush up.
rockettes
And no traditional Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. It will "be replaced by a virtual event". Happy Thanksgiving from COVID.
Pardon me for my incorrect wording about the Rockettes show.
ty in earlier chat for co8
It is being evaluated by a team of experts from Jeopardy
morning all

btw, the book I stayed up reading way too late was set in NZ
oh cool
makes me want to visit now
me too
but you'd have to stay in quarantine there in a hotel for 14 days
still far away though and then there's that
mr. homie watches this couple on YT that travel the world in their sailboat, and they had been visiting CO when everything went down. They were stuck in Fiji while their sailboat was on another island. Or maybe it was on Fiji. Anyhoo, they just got back to it and had to do a 3 week quarantine. 2wks in one place and 1 in another.
Tx for as9!!
yeah, that sounds like lots of fun
everyone keeps saying that - I must've missed that clue
me too, though that's the first time I've seen it mentioned :)
50 to go
is it related to stuff you wipe on your face for ac4?
YT = You Tube. That one took me a while.
sorry. I knew moo would know it. :D
yeah, courtesy of my 9 year old
I read some reviews of the book you mentioned Carla. I'm not sure I would like it. It sounds a little soap opera-ish to me.
I still think cringy is a word
funny, was just typing that
interesting, Molly. I didn't really think that. but I did watch 4 soap operas when I was a kid, so... I actually usually read mysteries so it was a departure, but I loved it.
Molly, also check out Sorry I Missed You. I think I mentioned that the other day.
I just destroyed those i's! :D
oh yeah, had those ones :) 36 to go
45 left here
are all the upper o ou?
No
ah, just saw the last one, thx
not the way I'd spell that word so I usually miss it
now just need 1 A to finish off the 5th col
bouncing between calls here
It's so thrilling. We get every little nuance of Carla's journey through the grid.
well, I was hoping someone would offer my missing A, but bea isn't here
which a?
last col
still missing one there...but assume you have the solvent, how about adjective for long long time?
yep
How about ac7/36 - incorporate an island.
that must be it, looking now
well, I'm sure it'll come to me eventually, thx
n's (k)nocked out! (I'm not on it today)
well my missing k is not karen...
fairly stuck at 34 left. still 5 4's and all the big ones. guess I will take a break.
rehi
just did something I've never done before - gave myself a haircut. really just a trim.
I've considered it, but chickened out
my wife is better at the detail things :)
I gave mr. homie one last week but just used clippers so that was easy. I used to cut the boys' hair with scissors with they were younger after they both got horrible cuts at a kid's salon.
still not seeing any new words after my break.
well there's a poorly spelled 4
33 left!
25 left
this may be all I've got today.
that middle c is my biggest problem
i have 92 left, and only 3 from that C so far.
I have only found 6 there
i'm up to 5. this grid is challenging. :)
yep
phantom coconut
think I'm going to have to go to the list
i have that same phantom, and yeah, today will likely be a list day, agreed.
so far not helping much. still need 3 + 2 C's and 2 + 1 A
and a D
and an e ;)
and several others. 14 left after the list! going to do other things...TTFN
be well :)
50 here.
slow going.
go, go harry!
hi dc

Playing card + Sound.
ty zooz
wow, one of my list words I couldn't find was a bird, moo
Oh my. It’s Zooz. How delightful to see you. 🤗. And hello other Babble friends. 😀
Hello, Soodle! How are you keeping?
hello, soodle, zooz, bichon
hi Soodle, hi all
peri
Hi.
I’m good, Zooz. Hope you and the olds are too? Hi Peri, Carla, Bich. Nice to see ‘old friends’ on board. 😀
We are all plodding along, Soodle 😎
Good to hear that Zooz. Having elderly parents in the midst of a pandemic must be very difficult. My best wishes going your way, old friend!
I can vouch for that. very stressful.
ar5/10 pls
we have it often peri, it was in yesterday's too
really? ok
thought I had typed that one, ty
a + a 4 letter babblet
not liking this grid but will plod along.
C words are the bane of my existence
it's not a good one
same
Carla - I feel your pain. My Mam died June last year. I don’t think she would have coped well with Covid. Meanwhile - Puppy Max had chewed my TV remote, multiple shoes/sandals & was having a good old gnaw on my handbag till I stopped him.
yeah, my MIL died last fall and my SIL keeps saying how glad she wasn't here for the pandemic. My dad died at end of Aug this year and it was a pain trying to get care and then no funeral.
and then just trying to keep them from catching it
still 25 to go
not making much progress, moo :D
been on call after call
me is a busy little camper
I have 5 left but have looked up 3 or 4
do you have the 8 moo? don't want to spoil the stats for you but if you already have I was wondering if it is an everyday word.
or the 9
I do not yet
six 7s, the 8 and 9 all still to go
and 9 sixes for good measure
ok
ar 7/44, pls
one of the 7s I don't have apparently
don't have yet either, bichon
one of my 7 missing 7s :)
my lucky day!
wow, looked up the 8. turns out it is regular but was unexpected for me at least.
is it a gerun?
d?
nope
too bad
it is an abbreviation
well, found a 6
isn't a darcy some unit of velocity for ground water?
ooh, another 6
found a composite 7 yay
woot
well, the ar7, bichon is a noun form of an adj. in the grid. I had tried that several times with another last letter
looked up at the wrong time...thx
sorry :D. and bichon probably left and will ask again in a little while.
not your fault, I could turn off chat :)
the risks I take :)
21 to go
if you won the gold in olympic sculls, wouldn't you outca*** your opposition?
well, out words are like re words
my last two words have been 4s :/
well, that's the 4s done...19 to go
looked up the 9. I can safely say it is a word I have never seen before.
For the record..... I was awake ridiculously early this morning. I logged into Babble, and was the first poster after the flip, with co 8/55. Just saying.....
nice soods
ty for the 8. got it
between you and carla.
well, co8 to you, soodle!
indeed, I didn't find it unassisted
To be filed under ‘What’s seldom is wonderful’ .... Thank you Hokie. 😊😊😊
raygon - like the actor president
did you know Ronald Wilson Raegan rearranged spells Insane Anglo Warlord ?

Spiro Agnew = Grow A Penis

those were just called "units" IIRC
25. gotta go pick up kids. bbl to list.
maybe they should've gotten someone from enable to help them out on that foreign currency so it wasn't so genetic.
generic
bye, HH
yeah
Although I just got a bunch of foreign currency for my daughter on her birthday, and actually discovered the meanings of a few words as a result :)
Nothing like trying to type cyrillic into google to understand which former soviet republic's currency you have
btw, it's relatively easy to do it on an iphone
I have some foreign currency, but just from my travels so nothing exotic that I've never heard of
yeah we had the usual canadian, australian, nz, euro currency, as well as a bunch of trinidadian dollars
my dad lived in Trinidad for a few years, so went to visit
I just have canadian, mexican, and a few caribbean countries
I've been just over the border in Mexico, but think I just used US currency
yeah, I went to Cozumel once and Cancun from a cruise and I don't think we had to exchange money, but that's been a while. I think I just ended up with some somehow.
and canadian quarters and pennies always end up in circulation here somehow.
mr. homie brought me some from Costa Rica.
I've been to Canada a few times...Nova Scotia, Montreal and southern Ontario as well, kept some of the money on the last trip
ah, there's a word...my last o
I imagine in Jamaica there are a lot of rastary folks
I think I have some Jamaican money
