just realised I haven't got nbt yet.
What is nbt, dizgrannie?
no blank tiles - a word from each square. nbs means a word from each of the stats.
Well, then I haven't either yet.
and NBS means you have at least one from each "stat" - which I still need the 9 to have, haha (No Blank Stats)
EILJay, I try to do that first and then take my time with the rest of the puzzle.
me too rbud
Well, I have a bunch of 4's. So, there.
if you have both you can say "nbt/nbs" - it's just a little added challenge some of us like to play with, nothng official.
dang sticky keyboard, I think I need to vacuum it out, haha
I like that.

i have the qu8 - what is the other 8 ?
no idea
Look carefully at your qu 8 and you'll see it!
it's di 8
I'm misreading lots of things - sorry!
fading out now.. 33 for tomorrow
di7
Liz, I thought you were referring to it being some sort of measurement made by an eye doctor- so not so far off as clues here go. :D
("it" being the di 8 in my comment, in case I was unclear)
:)
I have the qu8. Looking for the di8...
it's a doozy matty. yell if you need a hand.
A tiny helping hint, though it's early, wouldn't go a miss, Rose! Please!
*giggle* di + three letter word means choose + t**ly-ho, change the first consonant for my initial
Yep, that's a doozy. Thank you!
well done you for understanding the clue.
Not bad for before I've even finished my first coffee
whoa... are your eyes even open yet??
Only barely!
i'm so chuffed. my son just shared a video with me of my grand-daughter receiving our gift. a basket of flowers, a Happy Birthday balloon and a lovely teddy. i swear if she grinned any wider her face would have been in two pieces.
I really hate words that begin with vowels in the grid. Just sayin'
Awww - fantastic! Matilda is growing up so fast - 6 months old in two days!
i know right? my poor niece ! she had her first about the same time. bub is already standing and walking around furniture.
I figure I might meet Matilda around the time she starts school
nearly dinner time. catch you after the next flip. xx
Enjoy!

Hi Hursh 🤗
hi
I’m getting some work done at my house, so myself & my 2 dogs are holed up in the lounge. The dogs are going crazy.
Hi Soodle and Hurshy.
good morning! any clues for the first pe6/24? it's my last word!
Is it the one that adds a vowel to the end of the bicycle part?
yes!! bless you HAZ!!!
tadone!! enjoy your day/evening!
Well done!
Congrats, dawg!!
ty haz
well, I made it to 111 playing blind so I knew it was a decent sized one today. that's more than halfway I guess.
Good morning, Carla.
bea!
What do you mean by playing blind?
is the u a up word?
I have 2, both up
Yes it is
ah got one
ty
All three ar up words
well, I only got 2/13 of the a's playing blind
oh, I covered the total words and the stats and played old school
I see.
I did manage 2 7's at least
I was thinking the other day about how when I started playing here we didn't have the stats under the grid, so I was reading the old archives to see if I could find when it was added.
funny what they considered cheating then is standard now.
I've been a member since 2008 and they were there then.
yeah, I joined in '05. they were not there but someone usually posted them in the chat, but you didn't know if there was more than one tile for a letter which words came from which tiles, like now.
tried afro and endo today, just in case they were added :D
not asking stats or anything but are their any 7 8 9 combos?
I now have 3 7 and they are all past tense so I don't know
ty hokie
The 8 I have is not a combo
is it a compound word?
No.
does this feel like 20 questions yet?
I found the other and it is not related to a 7 or the 9 and it is not compound either.
kthx
ty bzz
havent found anything higher then a yet
6
like I said, my 3 7's are pt, so try to do that to some words
oh, an educational opportunity for ru - an internet acronym in the grid.
bea, are these a's especially annoying or am I just not seeing them?
I only have three of them.
Haven't worked on the yet.
okay, that's what I've got. well, 3 on the big one, one on the small one.
Been working on the D's
I have the small A gray
well, I just found an easy one
The D's are deadly!
did you finish the D's? just finally made halfway on the bottom one.
ha!
Six more to go.
and thanks, I didn't have de
8 more from the bottom, 2 from the top D left here
de6, is what I meant to thank you for giving at 8:49 :D
Yes, you are welcome.
That's one of the easier ones.
How do you cover the total words and the stats?
I propped a Bed Bath & Beyond coupon (of which I have probably 30) against the screen
I could've sworn we've had dearm but I guess that is unarm
phantom diorama
I can't believe my last D was most of my hometown.
Yes, I treid that one too, Carla.
I still have 8 there!
how many of these d's are chemistry related, bea?
None, that I can see.
ok
Two of them relate to the eyes
Ah, di7.36 and di6.24 are chem related.
me: dilate! one second later: nope
oafy should be a word. he's kinda oafy.
LOL!
hmm, had up6 but not the 4 within it
somewhat stuck with 56 left
There is an a with the robot ending.
yeah, I had that one somehow
oh, there's the healing plant
there are easy ones, I just can't see them right off.
The am's are common but not easy
I have 4 am
that dog is arfy
There are 7 ams
wow, that is 3/4 of my remaining a's there. will get busy looking.
just tried amore for the 2nd time. I did find 2 of them though.
Close but no cigar for the lady.
There is the a that has the tiny burrowing critter at the the end
found another. now just 1 A left there and at the top.
Those are both af's
well, I know it's not afro.
ok, got that one.
Do you have am6.24?
I have all the am's now, so there's another a missing
2 al's and 2 ar's
NTPN - english singer that's so good she just has one name
odele
odell
so close
and finished the a's, thanks be to bea
will molly come in for the steal?
adele

or actor from MASH
Alpo
Alda
ding ding ding! bea wins some dings
Bea has to get the the farmer's market...
I di get the grid complete so at least I can say I got thing accomplished today.
so cold here, I'm assuming it is there too
Yes, cold here. Got to get the plants in,
I have to get to the pet store for dog food, not alpo
I will wait a little while though
I hope to see you tomorrow. Bye!
bye!
well, stuck again at 46 left. think I will rip some seams for a while and see if that clears anything up. yesterday's project went bad right at the last step as usual.
oh, I hate ripping seams. hope it goes better next time.
hi all. help with E in first and second columns pls
ee4/6
don't have the other E
ei 6/21
ty phae
ei 6/21
ty rbud looking
ohhh, I type so slooooow... haha - montreal beat me to it
ty montreal looking
and not seeing
looking for qu8 and po9 without success
we had that ei6 recently i think...
E + "american ****" (the singing competiton) + vowel
ty I don't remember seeing that recently tho
probably my memory playing tricks on me...
heat not on in house yet so wearing layers
qu8 is basically UK right now
usually a k word - my * for a horse!
ty carla
ty carla !
and thx, I struggled for a long time with that other q before you told the stat.
though when the heat is on it can get very hot and dry. not good for my hair and skin
I just turned ours on on the main floor to knock the chill off.
any help with the po9?
yes, i hate the dryness more than the cold...
we slept with our window open last night, not sure what temp it is upstairs now.
just started, no PO9 yet...
I could make a hot toddy, maybe laer
later even
oudle
oops, sorry
I don't have the 9, just now learning it's a po. I wonder if it's relating to the bear word.
darnit, mont. I only have one o there and was hoping there was another.
sorry about that carla, will try harder next time ☺
or does the po start with "many"
yes, starts with "many" and ends with an "A" compound - another word in the grid. (trying not to give a total handout, haha)
2 distinct possibilities...hummm...
(but likely did just that)
po9 starts like a fabric + French friend + first two of what gets caught in the headlights
ty all
aha
for po9
thx
that's good, I could follow that, Molly
thanks rbud and Molly
bbl
rbud, I was on track to get yours too when Molly's popped up, so yours was good too
Rosebud's was good and I appreciate the effort not to give a total handout. : D
always good to have varying clues. :)
thankee!
trying to decide whether it's worth pursuing my last 75 now that all the fun things are over and done with... maybe later tonight. Good luck to all who persevere.
have a great day rbud ☺
still ripping seams here
have a good day!
morning all! could I have stats for the lower E?
ei 6/21
ty montreal!

I have more phantoms than real words at this point :(
not seeing too many actual words this a.m., that's for sure ☻
60 left here - need some more O's
only have 2 Os from the top ones, haven't reached the others yet...

gm TO

top o
oops gtg
bye TO
phantom armpit
yes i got a glimpse of that one...
better than getting a whiff of it, I guess!
Oh that's right. There is a racial slur in the grid. Are we going to have The Discussion? : D
the phantom aslindy, a glimpse of the phantom ☺☺
not from me Molly: words are only words, period.
1st pass done, bbl for last 76, not an auspicious beginning ... have a great day all and stay safe - poof
it starts with o?
I'm watching a show about the Hope Diamond. LOL, Harry Winston mailed it to the Smithsonian via regular mail.
Isn't that crazy?!?!?!?
it is completely cray
well, I was actually typing crazy and missed the z but it works with today's lingo
oh, I see the mailman succumbed to its curse
Cray and jelly are two of the hyped up internet lingo words that I cannot abide.
Oh, and you can add hella to that list. And people who respond to something posted with THAT.
THIS
oh, the "curse" was actually created by Cartier
name that classic album by beck
odelay I think
prize to carla! if I had an o word from the top o, i'd give it to you;)
you missed your chance to call me a loser, baby
hahhaha
i got two turntables and a microphone
I made a ref to that with my brother once and he had didn't get it. had never heard that song somehow.
o dpn't think loser is on that one?
IDK
must go to supermarket on saturday. wish me luck
sunday is worse.
just realized I have watched this hope diamond show before because I remember the new setting by Harry Winston on this model.
may the odds be ever in your favor, TO
not likely. but the food bank needs tomato products and they are on sale. so off i go
not often I watch an entire 40 min show and realize at the end I've already seen it
it's a year of rerun, carla.
if you swim in the see and a fish bites your knee, that's a mo5
this was just on demand on hulu
lol
what was?
the hope diamond show, I thought that's what you were talking about re: rerun
a clue for either up6 please?
the cursed jewel
has the qu8 been clued?
I only have one that is like to put something on the internet
if a fish bites your heel and and it feels like an ell, that's a mo5
thank you hokie
up6 what you do with a file from your puter to the internet
the territory ruled by a female ruler
Hi, all. Hey certain medical professional from history, whose name is a bird, was also known as the La4/4 with a LA4/6......

I knew I could count on you if I was as vague as possible ;D
ty have all the U words
np
down to 39 now. LOL, at this rate I'll finish by tonight or not at all.
84 here :(
hmm, just tried a word that I thought was a phantom this morning, but no, it's actually there.
frady cat. I'm afraid that is not a word.
32 left now. if I could find the last M I could actually gray out a row.
now it's just the carla show, molly
good morning everyone :)
hi, nan
it's a tough one today
went to the list with 31 left and still struggling
yes - got about a third of the way last night before crashing - only one 8 and 3 x7 so far
I have skipped the other 8 on the list
and also still only have 3 x 7
okay, still 12 left after first pass on the list.
you are doing better than i - 90 to go and stuck
stats for the top o's please?
omg, just resorted to looking up a 5 that I couldn't find and it was not a weird one
od4, 5, op4 and the other one is of4
hah! "mofo was not found in the dictionary"
ridiculous!
ty arla
*carla
I just monkeyed a seriously ridiculous word.. de5/18
well, I think I just looked up 9 words. hopefully I will remember them the next time.
yes, in*, dorens
I never remember them, so I've stopped looking them up. It's so weird when you know a word instinctively from having played it a million times but have no idea what it means.
I'm down to 64 and don't want to open the list. So I'm going to walk away and hope fresh eyes later will help.
1st pe 6/24?
only have one -- the itinerant salesman
maybe an italian way to spin a bike?
mine kind of sounds like one who pe5/14 s
ah, that must be it. thanks carla
ty!
and now i'm leaving. happy babbling
ty carla
just reading an article on how a vaccine will be distributed. I might possibly be at the very end of the last phase.
I'm not sure why people under 30 are in phase 3 and people 30-64 are in phase 4.
That makes no sense to me. Although I may be able to get in phase 3 because I work in higher ed.
I think that was phase 2
I thought people 50s and up were greater risk than late 20s and kids?
It's a mystery.
People in K-12 are in phase 2, higher ed phase 3.
ah, I didn't catch that
it's possible I'm in phase 1 due to high blood pressure
I do remember the craziness with the swine flu vaccine, but I and my kids caught swine flu so we didn't need the vaccine.
I didn't know HBP counted. I could be in phase 1 also, then.
hi all.tough grid for me. 62 left
Hi, peri
what other issues would put someone in phase 1 for the vaccine?
I imagine lung or heart conditions, diabetes, immune system issues.
cancer?
Probably.
bbl
I don't know that HBP does count, that's why I said possible. the article just said "underlying conditions".
also in phase 1 are health-care workers
and sorry if that sounded snotty, I certainly didn't mean it that way
