Sorry !!!

Anyone here this morning? Hi to all.
hello
Gorgeous snow in DC area.
Hi mlfan
hi mkg
finally got a 7 but no nbt yet
Still missing two tiles.
the 8 was easy today IMO
But got the 8 and have all stats
Yes it was easy.
i am missing 12
12 words? I have 67.
Good morning, Carla.
bea!
no missing 12 words for nbt
usually W's are fairly easy, but I can only find 2 on the top.
Good going mlfan.
I onlyh have 81 words so far.
I have 3 blank tiles, all vowels of course
ty mkg
same to you
I have two blank and yes, vowels. So if you want clues let me know.
got the 8
but in good news, I have grayed 2 tiles, both vowels
Yeah!!!!!!!!
hokie is one of your missing vowels from the first column?
bea, how did the 2nd shot go for your people? they feel bad today?
yes, mlfan
It must be the E........cant find that one........
He is off to his weekly volunteer gig. Feelng fine. They say it is the 2nd or third day.
same for me
That e is ed4.6
I think my brother felt like he had a bad flu the next morning for like 6 hours. my mom had a fever/night sweats overnight after hers and then was fine.
aw, duh. thanks
Ty got it.
I usually see that one.
I dread getting the vaccine. And dread not having it as well.
Any clues for the A words bottom row A?
an4/4 and an5/10
an4 and an5
in a lot of grids
Ty wil look
my MIL had zero symptoms after both her shots, my sister in law, who is my age, got a localized allergic reaction after the first and felt mildly hungover after the second. I'm looking forward to getting it, side effects be damned!
me too
bzz the an 4 and 5 related?
Ty got the an words.
I'm with you, mael.
i got the an5
Ty for clues
mr. homie says he will wait for the johnson & johnson one with less side effects, but he's in the last group so he may not have a choice.
My son in laws dad was 92 and in bad shape. Got shot and got very very sick and died. But he was in very bad shape before. Still, terrible;;;;;;;;;;;;\
What scares me is that no one knows the side effects or long term effects of the shot if you then get sick with symptoms. The whole thing is so awful and scarey.
sorry to hear that, but you are right, 92 and in bad shape to begin with, not sure you can link it to the shot.
speaking of 90 year olds, I just heard the other day that Bob Dole is 97. I had no idea. how did time go by so fast?
It was the shot for sure. No doubt about it. But i am sure his body was too weak to fight of anything new. So i am not sure that nursing home people should be given the shot......that is my take. Who knows. Terrible decisions to make and terrible times.
No matter what humans will always have diseases to contend with. That is my take away.
research is showing that older people have much fewer effects from vaccines than younger people.....hello all...
We think we can conquer diseases but new ones appear. And that is nature.
Hi pen.
my brother and I got our first shot of Moderna on Saturday....no reaction....
Well i only know that i cant find a place to get it yet in md. And i am 73
Glad you had no reaction.
ty...
Mom got Moderna and Hubs got Pfizer.
well, I think they have to give it in nursing homes because of it running rampant in them, but maybe not to the patients in really bad health
i don't think they can pick and choose...
First two columns grey. 28 left. Time for breakfast.
My wife and I have had both shots with no problems. We both got Pfizer
dang, bea. you are working hard on this grid.
that's nice, uncagain....
yeah, that's great!
has anyone found any dh words?
just did because you asked....lol...
LOL, glad I could help. what's the stats?
dh 5/14....
dh5/14
okay, it was the last thing I tried ;)
Dh plus Spanish exclamation
heading out....Qigong awaits....be back later to finish....bye all....
I think nixer should be a word. one who nixes things.
bye, pen!
Third column grey.
have made it to 33 but stuck
Column by column, Bea darkens the grid. Soon? Lights out.
she's a grid assassin
closest column to gray I have is the 5th but still need 4 L's and are apparently impossible
She is very methodical too.
that's how she gets it done
hmm, I do just need one i and 2 D's for 2nd col
found the i!
Do you have a di7?
yes, one that's kind of stupid
hi all. I do not have dk7
di7 even
or fi7
It is more so, peri.
I guess if you were more gossipy
they are more like words Peri
fi7 rhymes with di7
fi7 is the same.
And the chorus sings
How was your weekend, Molly?
ty all got them both
I am also missing 1 F, and it's not fi7
heh. The fi7 is the one F I'm missing. :)
All F's are normal
Two fe and six fi
bl
fi7 is at least a real word, unlike di7
Oh, I got the fi7...duh...right under my nose!
(Well, you wouldn't WANT it under your nose...could get pretty smelly!)
mine was a plural that I'm sure I entered
is the fi7 a compound word?
No, it is more so
no, it's a more than
Is it more than, more so, more of?
It's a common word with a suffix.
found a hot dog! I always miss those
What ever it is, it probably doesn't smell good.
Note to guys: Carla always misses the we6s
now just need 4 in 1st col and 2 in 2nd col
I am good at lobbing up softballs
I have finished this grid.
well done. still 27 left.
what are the 4 crazy L's I can't see?
FTG! FTG!
There are some trees. li6 and 7
well, that's 2 to look for, gracias.
ty bzz
Of to start the day...
bye bea!
down to 22 here. 3x4, 6x5, 9x6, 4x7
20!
18!
have not been able to find those trees
W SS H RR LLLL A DD ii CC W, in case anyone wanted the stats ;)
looked up the trees on this website called nounsstarting. com. interesting website. anyhoo, was trying the wrong vowel.
just found some chemistry ones that I always miss. harry would be so proud.
morning all
gm mool! :)
hi Hokie!!
moo!!
hey dolly, hoke...happy Monday
dolly!
down to 10 now. not sure how much farther I can get.
apologies for leaving off the !
down to 120 :)
how rude
edhs
I shall beat myself and repent
oops
thanks dolly :D
:)
sadly that was not one of my 10, dolly
sorry about that hokie!
helped me tho :)
:)
I did struggle to see that one today. didn't see it until someone asked for stats.
top row grey
I struggled on it too until I totally focused on that specific E
me too ru :)
and I know the word :) just couldn't see it right off
me too
I have SS H R LL ii CC left
I have 65 left
46 here, keep plugging Mool!
46 now :)
left row grey
still 4 left on that column
so, am I missing easy c's then? why am I asking ru, they're all easy to him.
I just got a ca 6/7, probably what you're missing
yep, will look, thx
oh yeah, tx for the clue dolly
don't know how to clue it but go right of the ca and and don't use the obvious con for your next letter
:)
check out person...minus a letter
ah, we've had that before, thx
ooh vg clue mool!
bottom row grey
same :D
still one w on that one
I had one w forever and then finally saw it. a little twisty.
here too, working on my last w
wh5 singing disney tunes a bit drunk
another miserable day of pouring rain here
mid 50s here today, bit of wind tho
the youngest has a soccer game at 6. supposed to be sunny and 50s by then, but I"m skeptical.
ty Ru! got it!!
lol, just typo'd my last 4
7 left!
well 6 because of a plural.
21 left
1 5, 3 6s, 2 7s
5x4, 8x5, 4x6, 2x7 and 1x8
well, the 8 is easy today so you must not have done that letter yet
probably, bit random today
SS H R ii
I finished my i's
are you missing off the bottom right i?
yes
if you want a clue, let me know
have in5 and il4
yes
ok, will take a hint then
just s'
ah, there's the 8...just didn't put the ending on it :0
just s's here now
it's a 6/7 combo...and the ending is also a word
go Ru go!! there are a lot of S's off that 1 tile
still 5 s's to go
15 to go overall
alright, looking now for the i6/7. assuming IN.
ru, when you finish the S's you can help with my last 2. ;)
that might be a good assumption
Both the is6 and is7 are common-ish words.
well, I kept trying to make in7/8 and once I realized what I was doing I found them, thanks, moo.
yw hoke
13 to go here
more chemistry apparently
4 here
ah, never knew the meaning
1 5, 2 6, 1 7, so I'm going to guess I need a 5/6 or a 6/7 on the S
11 to go
found one, probably a bad assumption
finito
3x4, 5x5, 2x6 and 1x7
also since I would need another s to make a combo
well done, ru
nice one ru
I have 2 6 and 1 7 left
10 to go
i did a few last night so i had a small headstart mool :D
ah, well congrats anyway :)
9 to go
well, I've been here all morning and had a big head start, but that doesn't matter with me. :D
still have three 4s...
what could my R be...
not a lot of options for RE words
you only have 6 and 7 left?
yes
and you have the tape button I assume
yep
then I'm missing it too :)
and as much as I want to not win again, not a word
heh
or untighten again
At the risk of asking something too givey-away-y, is that X ever used??
rain is coming sideways now
or to complain again
yep, tried that too
aha, a pt
oh yeah...tx
7 to go
charlie daniels had done many times
S6 and H6 left. that should help.
was that before or after he went down to georgia
h6...sounds slangy
why not both?
ah, good point
well, it's not what a toddler calls something he rocks on
ooh, just answered my own question. :)
ah no...if he did. the police would probably get involved
lol
and I'm sure I'll lol at moo when I find the word ;)
still have 2 fours
I might need 2nd letter and points for the H
o
they're all 1 point tiles after that h
and it's not the * than thou? but I think you were implying related to the oldest profession?
nope
no...nothing to do with pay by play
got it somehow
now one S6
found a word...yay
I think a 4 might be an S if you still have those left
I'm probably missing the same one
not the original one
well, portuguese, not spanish. and i am done!
or the indian sounding one
congrats
okay so I have a De6 throwing me a curve any clues?
ok, I was thinking the indian sounding one
you might need to be more specific about the details dolly ;)
dolly, to say the meaning of a word?
I have that one
that's the only de6
that is the only one as moo said. there is a di6 that threw me for a bit. chemistry
oops you're right, let me relook
ah, there's a 6...your last one that you had
glad you straightened me out, I'd still be looking :)
windy one
the portuguese?
A,L,S,S,S
duh just had make a 4 a plurla :)
4,4,5,5,6
found the l
I think the L might be a weird portmanteau
nm
yeah, it was
the a is off the left?
yes
I think it's the 6 but could be a 4 knowing you
it's the 6
so you have S4x2 and S5 left?
yeah
and the a
oh, I thought you agreeing the A was a 6 meant you found it
no, I don't have an a6 yet....sooooo
found a 4
LOL. well, you know I'm happy to give the tiniest hint if you ever want it.
and the other 4
2 to go
my last S5 has no definition
there's a few odd s5s
switched to merriam webster. I now know it is a variant of another word.
normally with the double letter in the middle?
ho 6/21, second one, pls
in the S's here we gooooo!
a slang term for an unwanted english soccer fan
ty mool
yw
no, normally sc
oh, have that too
oh, maybe thinking a different one
unless you're trying to teach me a new word
oh, but so is the double vowel in the middle
this one is geology apparently
and there's a scottish one I don't know but guessed at
and there's one in NZ in the movies :D
sorry, I'm clue blurting now
hello
no idea what that last clue was
:)
but that one's easy so surely you had that
hello, mty
there's the australian pianist one...if that's what you mean
rachmaninoff one
I don't know that one. I was talking about hobbits, of course.
oh
ah yes...well change the fourth letter, and you get the australian movie :)
whoohoo!!! done!!
woot woot!
wd dolly...still 2 here
brb, cat is throwing up and my daughter is freaking out
uh oh
good luck
*Throws lunch in the trash
Hi all. Clue for the li7, please?
plural of li6 - a tree apparently. there was an actor named Hal li6
LOL, Molly. luckily I already ate.
ty, hokie
np
There IS an actor named Hal Li6, famous for the show Barney Miller
He was also on Saint Elsewhere
Speaking of actors, name that proper noun. Actor/Producer Thirtysomething
it's a tree.
My dad loved Barney Miller.
I just assumed he was dead, sorry
I said it was apparently a tree

Ding ding! Carla wins a set of Ginsu knives
at first was looking for a T for Peter Horton
Ah, Gary Shepherd, the one who didn't make it
as in, he died? I just rem. bits and pieces of that show. I was in high school when that was on.
wow, literally the exact dates I was in HS - Sep 1987-May 1991
Man, I am terrible at this game
haha
How long have you all played here?
thank goodness there isn't a timer (there isn't, right?...)
well, looks like I joined in 2005. I played religiously for a few years and then quit for several years and came back.
24 hours for each puzzle. timer is the little hourglass on the upper right. currently 11+ hours left on this one.
I know the guy who programmed this, but I somehow never heard of it until last month. :)
Wow!! You're a pro
that's funny, dauber
and oh right -- beyond that timer, though
not like boggle
*Boggle
(If you've played that before :) )
I read the early chats recently and it looks like it was the creator and most of his friends playing at first
How long does it typically take for you all to complete them, if I may ask?
It doesn't matter -- I'm just wondering!
Depends on how many words there are.
I think it will take me a while to ever complete a full puzzle, if I ever do
I'd say it's a safe guess that most people here have played boggle. this is just a boggle/scrabble hybrid. boggle setup with points on the tiles like scrabble.
yeah, it depends on size and number of weird words for me. mty, look in the "friends of babble" section below the grid at Lickety's Babble Clues. that will give you a list of all words in the grid if you get stuck.
I did finish today without using that list but usually I have to to finish
another good thing is that it appears I'm not being penalized for submitting silly words
:)
Makes me feel better about using the online Scrabble dictionary. :)
like "wixel"
that should totally be a word for this purpose
;)
lore
oops -- sorry
Is my newbie-ness showing?
There are a lot of words that aren't in this dictionary. Some real, some, well...things like Linux and Nintendo.
aaand...finished!
well, just like Scrabble and Boggle, proper nouns are not allowed, real words or not. but there are ones like ramen that are real and not proper noun that aren't allowed.
The only words allowed in this game are words on the Enable word list. That list makes no particular sense. It allows some French words, but not others. It allows some abbreviations/acronyms (AWOL) and not others. There is no rhyme or reason to what works here and what doesn't
FW with some tough ones at the end
Hello!
good afternoon everyone :)
like you can re5/18 but you can't relo4/4
ah Ms. Old hit and run is back.. must be boring on Christmas Island
anyone want to guess what my missing a (first col.) is?
ae6
ty carla - first col. black
creole is accepted, but newfie isn't?
you would think both of those are proper nouns
agreed
thought I'd try rolex just in case, but nooo
