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.

8:42 am

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;;;;;;;;;;;;\

8:43 am

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?

8:45 am

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.

8:46 am

No matter what humans will always have diseases to contend with. That is my take away.

8:46 am

research is showing that older people have much fewer effects from vaccines than younger people.....hello all...

8:46 am

We think we can conquer diseases but new ones appear. And that is nature.

8:47 am

Hi pen.

8:47 am

my brother and I got our first shot of Moderna on Saturday....no reaction....

8:47 am

Well i only know that i cant find a place to get it yet in md. And i am 73

8:47 am

Glad you had no reaction.

8:48 am

ty...

8:48 am

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

8:49 am

i don't think they can pick and choose...

8:51 am

First two columns grey. 28 left. Time for breakfast.

8:51 am

My wife and I have had both shots with no problems. We both got Pfizer

dang, bea. you are working hard on this grid.

8:52 am

that's nice, uncagain....

yeah, that's great!

has anyone found any dh words?

8:58 am

just did because you asked....lol...

LOL, glad I could help. what's the stats?

8:59 am

dh 5/14....

9:00 am

dh5/14

okay, it was the last thing I tried ;)

9:04 am

Dh plus Spanish exclamation

9:04 am

heading out....Qigong awaits....be back later to finish....bye all....

I think nixer should be a word. one who nixes things.

bye, pen!

9:14 am

Third column grey.

have made it to 33 but stuck

9:22 am

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

9:24 am

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!

9:27 am

Do you have a di7?

yes, one that's kind of stupid

9:27 am

hi all. I do not have dk7

9:28 am

di7 even

9:28 am

or fi7

9:28 am

It is more so, peri.

I guess if you were more gossipy

9:28 am

they are more like words Peri

fi7 rhymes with di7

9:28 am

fi7 is the same.

9:28 am

And the chorus sings

9:29 am

How was your weekend, Molly?

9:29 am

ty all got them both

I am also missing 1 F, and it's not fi7

9:30 am

heh. The fi7 is the one F I'm missing. :)

9:30 am

All F's are normal

9:31 am

Two fe and six fi

9:31 am

bl

fi7 is at least a real word, unlike di7

9:32 am

Oh, I got the fi7...duh...right under my nose!

9:32 am

(Well, you wouldn't WANT it under your nose...could get pretty smelly!)

mine was a plural that I'm sure I entered

9:32 am

is the fi7 a compound word?

9:33 am

No, it is more so

no, it's a more than

9:33 am

Is it more than, more so, more of?

9:33 am

It's a common word with a suffix.

found a hot dog! I always miss those

9:34 am

What ever it is, it probably doesn't smell good.

9:34 am

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

9:36 am

I have finished this grid.

well done. still 27 left.

what are the 4 crazy L's I can't see?

9:36 am

FTG! FTG!

9:37 am

There are some trees. li6 and 7

well, that's 2 to look for, gracias.

9:38 am

10:28 am

sorry about that hokie!

10:28 am

helped me tho :)

10:29 am

:)

10:29 am

I did struggle to see that one today. didn't see it until someone asked for stats.

10:30 am

top row grey

10:30 am

I struggled on it too until I totally focused on that specific E

10:31 am

me too ru :)

10:31 am

and I know the word :) just couldn't see it right off

10:31 am

me too

10:31 am

I have SS H R LL ii CC left

10:31 am

I have 65 left

10:31 am

46 here, keep plugging Mool!

10:33 am

46 now :)

10:33 am

left row grey

10:33 am

still 4 left on that column

10:34 am

so, am I missing easy c's then? why am I asking ru, they're all easy to him.

10:34 am

I just got a ca 6/7, probably what you're missing

10:35 am

yep, will look, thx

10:35 am

oh yeah, tx for the clue dolly

10:36 am

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

10:36 am

:)

10:36 am

check out person...minus a letter

10:37 am

ah, we've had that before, thx

10:37 am

ooh vg clue mool!

10:37 am

bottom row grey

10:37 am

same :D

10:38 am

still one w on that one

10:38 am

I had one w forever and then finally saw it. a little twisty.

10:38 am

here too, working on my last w

10:40 am

wh5 singing disney tunes a bit drunk

10:40 am

another miserable day of pouring rain here

10:40 am

mid 50s here today, bit of wind tho

10:41 am

the youngest has a soccer game at 6. supposed to be sunny and 50s by then, but I"m skeptical.

10:41 am

ty Ru! got it!!

10:41 am

lol, just typo'd my last 4

10:41 am

7 left!

10:42 am

well 6 because of a plural.

10:42 am

21 left

10:42 am

1 5, 3 6s, 2 7s

10:43 am

5x4, 8x5, 4x6, 2x7 and 1x8

10:43 am

well, the 8 is easy today so you must not have done that letter yet

10:43 am

probably, bit random today

10:46 am

SS H R ii

10:46 am

I finished my i's

10:46 am

are you missing off the bottom right i?

10:47 am

yes

10:47 am

if you want a clue, let me know

10:47 am

have in5 and il4

10:47 am

yes

10:47 am

ok, will take a hint then

10:48 am

just s'

10:48 am

ah, there's the 8...just didn't put the ending on it :0

10:48 am

just s's here now

10:48 am

it's a 6/7 combo...and the ending is also a word

10:48 am

go Ru go!! there are a lot of S's off that 1 tile

10:48 am

still 5 s's to go

10:48 am

15 to go overall

10:49 am

alright, looking now for the i6/7. assuming IN.

10:49 am

ru, when you finish the S's you can help with my last 2. ;)

10:49 am

that might be a good assumption

10:50 am

Both the is6 and is7 are common-ish words.

10:51 am

well, I kept trying to make in7/8 and once I realized what I was doing I found them, thanks, moo.

10:51 am

yw hoke

10:51 am

13 to go here

10:52 am

more chemistry apparently

10:52 am

4 here

10:52 am

ah, never knew the meaning

10:52 am

1 5, 2 6, 1 7, so I'm going to guess I need a 5/6 or a 6/7 on the S

10:53 am

11 to go

10:53 am

found one, probably a bad assumption

10:53 am

finito

10:53 am

3x4, 5x5, 2x6 and 1x7

10:53 am

also since I would need another s to make a combo

10:53 am

well done, ru

10:53 am

nice one ru

10:53 am

I have 2 6 and 1 7 left

10:53 am

10 to go

10:54 am

i did a few last night so i had a small headstart mool :D

10:54 am

ah, well congrats anyway :)

10:54 am

9 to go

10:54 am

well, I've been here all morning and had a big head start, but that doesn't matter with me. :D

10:55 am

still have three 4s...

10:55 am

what could my R be...

10:56 am

not a lot of options for RE words

10:56 am

you only have 6 and 7 left?

10:56 am

yes

10:56 am

and you have the tape button I assume

10:56 am

yep

10:57 am

then I'm missing it too :)

10:57 am

and as much as I want to not win again, not a word

10:57 am

heh

10:57 am

or untighten again

10:58 am

At the risk of asking something too givey-away-y, is that X ever used??

10:58 am

rain is coming sideways now

10:58 am

or to complain again

10:58 am

yep, tried that too

10:59 am

aha, a pt

10:59 am

oh yeah...tx

10:59 am

7 to go

10:59 am

charlie daniels had done many times

10:59 am

S6 and H6 left. that should help.

10:59 am

was that before or after he went down to georgia

10:59 am

h6...sounds slangy

10:59 am

why not both?

11:00 am

ah, good point

11:00 am

well, it's not what a toddler calls something he rocks on

11:00 am

ooh, just answered my own question. :)

11:01 am

ah no...if he did. the police would probably get involved

11:01 am

lol

11:01 am

and I'm sure I'll lol at moo when I find the word ;)

11:02 am

still have 2 fours

11:03 am

I might need 2nd letter and points for the H

11:03 am

o

11:03 am

they're all 1 point tiles after that h

11:04 am

and it's not the * than thou? but I think you were implying related to the oldest profession?

11:05 am

nope

11:05 am

no...nothing to do with pay by play

11:05 am

got it somehow

11:05 am

now one S6

11:06 am

found a word...yay

11:06 am

I think a 4 might be an S if you still have those left

11:07 am

I'm probably missing the same one

11:07 am

not the original one

11:07 am

well, portuguese, not spanish. and i am done!

11:07 am

or the indian sounding one

11:07 am

congrats

11:07 am

okay so I have a De6 throwing me a curve any clues?

11:08 am

ok, I was thinking the indian sounding one

11:08 am

you might need to be more specific about the details dolly ;)

11:08 am

dolly, to say the meaning of a word?

11:08 am

I have that one

11:08 am

that's the only de6

11:09 am

that is the only one as moo said. there is a di6 that threw me for a bit. chemistry

11:09 am

oops you're right, let me relook

11:09 am

ah, there's a 6...your last one that you had

11:10 am

glad you straightened me out, I'd still be looking :)

11:10 am

windy one

11:10 am

the portuguese?

11:10 am

A,L,S,S,S

11:10 am

duh just had make a 4 a plurla :)

11:11 am

4,4,5,5,6

11:11 am

found the l

11:12 am

I think the L might be a weird portmanteau

11:12 am

nm

11:12 am

yeah, it was

11:12 am

the a is off the left?

11:12 am

yes

11:13 am

I think it's the 6 but could be a 4 knowing you

11:13 am

it's the 6

11:13 am

so you have S4x2 and S5 left?

11:14 am

yeah

11:14 am

and the a

11:14 am

oh, I thought you agreeing the A was a 6 meant you found it

11:14 am

no, I don't have an a6 yet....sooooo

11:15 am

found a 4

11:15 am

LOL. well, you know I'm happy to give the tiniest hint if you ever want it.

11:15 am

and the other 4

11:15 am

2 to go

11:16 am

my last S5 has no definition

11:16 am

there's a few odd s5s

11:17 am

switched to merriam webster. I now know it is a variant of another word.

11:18 am

normally with the double letter in the middle?

11:18 am

ho 6/21, second one, pls

11:18 am

in the S's here we gooooo!

11:18 am

a slang term for an unwanted english soccer fan

11:19 am

ty mool

11:20 am

yw

11:21 am

no, normally sc

11:21 am

oh, have that too

11:21 am

oh, maybe thinking a different one

11:21 am

unless you're trying to teach me a new word

11:21 am

oh, but so is the double vowel in the middle

11:22 am

this one is geology apparently

11:22 am

and there's a scottish one I don't know but guessed at

11:23 am

and there's one in NZ in the movies :D

11:23 am

sorry, I'm clue blurting now

11:23 am

hello

11:23 am

no idea what that last clue was

11:23 am

:)

11:23 am

but that one's easy so surely you had that

11:23 am

hello, mty

11:24 am

there's the australian pianist one...if that's what you mean

11:24 am

rachmaninoff one

11:24 am

I don't know that one. I was talking about hobbits, of course.

11:24 am

oh

11:25 am

ah yes...well change the fourth letter, and you get the australian movie :)

11:26 am

whoohoo!!! done!!

11:31 am

*Throws lunch in the trash

11:35 am

Hi all. Clue for the li7, please?

11:36 am

plural of li6 - a tree apparently. there was an actor named Hal li6

11:36 am

LOL, Molly. luckily I already ate.

11:37 am

ty, hokie

11:39 am

np

11:47 am

There IS an actor named Hal Li6, famous for the show Barney Miller

11:48 am

He was also on Saint Elsewhere

11:49 am

Speaking of actors, name that proper noun. Actor/Producer Thirtysomething

it's a tree.

My dad loved Barney Miller.

11:57 am

I just assumed he was dead, sorry

11:57 am

I said it was apparently a tree

11:57 am

Ding ding! Carla wins a set of Ginsu knives

12:03 pm

at first was looking for a T for Peter Horton

12:05 pm

Ah, Gary Shepherd, the one who didn't make it

12:08 pm

as in, he died? I just rem. bits and pieces of that show. I was in high school when that was on.

12:09 pm

wow, literally the exact dates I was in HS - Sep 1987-May 1991

12:09 pm

Man, I am terrible at this game

12:09 pm

haha

12:09 pm

How long have you all played here?

12:10 pm

thank goodness there isn't a timer (there isn't, right?...)

12:10 pm

well, looks like I joined in 2005. I played religiously for a few years and then quit for several years and came back.

12:11 pm

24 hours for each puzzle. timer is the little hourglass on the upper right. currently 11+ hours left on this one.

12:11 pm

I know the guy who programmed this, but I somehow never heard of it until last month. :)

12:12 pm

Wow!! You're a pro

12:12 pm

that's funny, dauber

12:12 pm

and oh right -- beyond that timer, though

12:12 pm

not like boggle

12:12 pm

*Boggle

12:12 pm

(If you've played that before :) )

12:13 pm

I read the early chats recently and it looks like it was the creator and most of his friends playing at first

12:13 pm

How long does it typically take for you all to complete them, if I may ask?

12:13 pm

It doesn't matter -- I'm just wondering!

12:13 pm

Depends on how many words there are.

12:13 pm

I think it will take me a while to ever complete a full puzzle, if I ever do

12:13 pm

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.

12:14 pm

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.

12:15 pm

I did finish today without using that list but usually I have to to finish

12:15 pm

another good thing is that it appears I'm not being penalized for submitting silly words

12:15 pm

:)

12:15 pm

Makes me feel better about using the online Scrabble dictionary. :)

12:16 pm

like "wixel"

12:16 pm

that should totally be a word for this purpose

12:16 pm

;)

12:16 pm

lore

12:16 pm

oops -- sorry

12:17 pm

Is my newbie-ness showing?

12:17 pm

There are a lot of words that aren't in this dictionary. Some real, some, well...things like Linux and Nintendo.

12:19 pm

aaand...finished!

12:25 pm

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.

12:35 pm

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

2:15 pm

FW with some tough ones at the end

Hello!

2:18 pm

good afternoon everyone :)
