10:43 am

in my deflense molly, I'm not emotional over words :D

10:44 am

the Q was easy today.

10:44 am

I don't want to blow holes in your assertions, but I think that's a stretch

10:44 am

Well either it is in the grid orca it is not

10:45 am

molly's moving in for the krill

10:52 am

I wonder if whales use ipods?

1:34 pm

found another word

see, I knew you could ;)

1:34 pm

1:35 pm

i think the word i just entered was already in

this is definitely harder than yesterday

1:41 pm

so i noticed i had 50 left yesterday

I can't even find my S's with the list.

1:42 pm

found a word

still skipping words on the list

1:46 pm

havent looked at the list much

well I shouldve gotten both my 4's

1:50 pm

found another word after going to the list

1:50 pm

sometimes 4s just dont come that easily

yeah, one was a square, which always gets me

1:51 pm

1:52 pm

are you almost done?

1:56 pm

does it start like tr5 trick or *****

yes, but not that whole word

1:58 pm

no idea

there's an or6 word (not in grid) that means like someone who knows the future. ends like that word

2:01 pm

haha got it

2:01 pm

good clue

2:22 pm

May I please have a clue for sa7-32? Thanks

2:29 pm

2:30 pm

merci Une

2:32 pm

Thanks, Unea.

2:50 pm

te 6/21, pls

3:00 pm

California is now the entire west coast? : D

3:19 pm

Te6 number + high card

3:30 pm

whew! fw! that was torturous!

3:31 pm

ce 7, 36 anyone?

3:33 pm

rhymes with octopus legs...

3:34 pm

ty amelu!

3:35 pm

Tx amelu!!

3:35 pm

yvw!

3:37 pm

20 to go!

3:40 pm

octopus arms you mean?

3:45 pm

they walk on them, too

3:48 pm

So I was briefly excited about "tentacles" being in the grid, then I realized that it's merely a phantom.

3:52 pm

kind of suctions you in

3:56 pm

but then cephalopods tend to octopi most of our thoughts

3:56 pm

Briefly excited. I knew a guy...oh never mind

3:57 pm

Ru is on a roll :D

on a wave...of something

4:00 pm

Could someone tell me if the NE7/8 are words that I'm likely to recognize or if they're weird babble words (not the first NE7, but the NE7/8 pair).

took me a sec to realize. it is a common word usually in an adj form, this is noun

can give more if you want

4:02 pm

I'm sure the ne7 of the pair has been in the grid before, but it's not an especially common word.

4:02 pm

(But as hokie say, the adjective form of it is much more common.)

yes, it has

4:03 pm

Think of newly born babies

4:04 pm

got it, thanks all!

4:05 pm

It would have been easier if I had been looking at the right N, instead of looking at the N I've already finished. Doh!

I do that quite a bit

also, I continue to look for words in letters I have completely grayed out

4:18 pm

Another dumb mistake I keep doing is getting the plural but forgetting the singular.

4:19 pm

rt

4:23 pm

FW!!!!!!!

4:29 pm

Congrats!!

4:31 pm

back to see if I can get any of these last 24

4:38 pm

Hello!!

4:38 pm

Man. I don't know if I'll ever finish one of these

4:38 pm

yeah, it's a beast

4:51 pm

is it normal, would you say, to not finish a puzzle?

4:57 pm

Well, looking at the archives, it appears that probably only about a third of those who played yesterday finished it (for example).

4:58 pm

(Based on the listed scores.)

4:58 pm

Obviously, fewer people will complete the longest and toughest grids.

4:58 pm

Well...I don't use the word lists, so I don't finish a bunch

4:59 pm

didn't have much time to do yesterday's so didn't finish

4:59 pm

17 left here, don't think I'll finish

5:00 pm

Most people who do finish will rely on hints in the chat, Lickety's list and/or word-search sites.

5:02 pm

And it's fair to say that some of the words are uncommon at best, and a few that turn up are downright questionable.

5:03 pm

I usually finish the puzzle, but I rely on hints and Lickety's list. I've only ever finished it once without the list, and I still needed the hints.

5:06 pm

I usually finish, but I generally make use of Lickety's list, hints, and More Words (for the really elusive words).

5:07 pm

I try to get as many as I can without listing or hints, although I do like to try to find all the long words that get called at the flip.

5:09 pm

I quite often pick up hints in the chat...think 4 or 5 words so far this time, either someone asked about it in some form or fashion

5:09 pm

ooh, found a word :)

5:11 pm

ooh, found an 8 that time

5:15 pm

Thank you (I don't feel quite as goofy now.. but I still have a lot of progress to make!)

5:15 pm

oh, I wouldn't feel goofy...this is generally pretty hard

5:15 pm

I have another silly question. Another user in the chat history asked for some help on part of the puzzle, but I don't understand the referrence: ce 7, 36

5:15 pm

many of have been playing it for years

5:16 pm

What does "ce 7, 36" mean?

5:16 pm

CE are the first two letter

5:16 pm

7 is the length

5:16 pm

*reference. Pardon my typo

5:16 pm

and 36 is the "Points"

5:16 pm

Ah! I see. How do they know the points without knowing the word?

5:16 pm

Thank you - again

5:16 pm

:)

5:16 pm

for 4 letter words, take the tile points add them up...for 5 letter words, take then and multiply by 2

5:17 pm

6 letters x3, 7 letters x4

5:17 pm

etc

5:18 pm

Ah-ha! I really am grateful for your help.

5:19 pm

in other good news, I found one! (Took a while, though...) plus, I learned a new word

5:19 pm

cool

5:19 pm

I bet that will happen a lot to me here! Haha

5:19 pm

happens to me...and I've been playing word games since 1994 :)

5:21 pm

two new ones today - still have 10 left, undoubtedly some new ones in those

5:22 pm

Wow!! You go! You really are an expert, I esteem

5:22 pm

and they probably start with C...still 6 C's to go

5:22 pm

lot's of experienced players here...many who aren't too

5:23 pm

I wish I could help -- although I doubt you really need "help"and you have very likely already found all the words I managed to find!

5:23 pm

I am cheering you on!

5:23 pm

I am of the latter crowd :)

5:23 pm

Hopefully I will one day be an seasoned player

5:24 pm

got to start somewhere :)

5:37 pm

Re7/40 please?

5:37 pm

you're actually making one right now

5:39 pm

ha

5:39 pm

mais c'est vrai!

5:40 pm

still 8 to go

5:40 pm

7

5:44 pm

go, go moolingwa

5:45 pm

dregs now

5:45 pm

still missing a 7 and an 8...although I also have a 4 missing, you'd think I could find that

5:45 pm

ahhh-ah-ah-ahhhh, bitter dregs

5:46 pm

bitterest

5:47 pm

Qs Quenched!

5:48 pm

I have a qualm with those Qs

5:49 pm

quite qualmy

5:49 pm

quixotic even

5:49 pm

i found them quiescent

5:50 pm

Quintessentially

5:50 pm

quantitatively, or qualitatively?

5:51 pm

These Qs are the foremost quarry of this puzzle for me

5:52 pm

The plus side of my qualm is that they are keeping me very occupied during the quarantine

5:52 pm

Some quality brain-exercise going on here

5:52 pm

i found the :Q easy toady

5:53 pm

One day I shall be the Queen of Babble. With plenty of practice and perseverence

5:53 pm

Perseverance

5:53 pm

you used a homephoen of a q word

5:53 pm

quit quipping, queen

5:53 pm

What a large quantity of typos I produce, I must say

5:53 pm

i have a cat walking on me, hence weird typing

5:54 pm

Quirky cat :)

5:54 pm

Pardon me. I'll stop now. I am getting annoying! I am just trying to embellish my voacbulary

5:54 pm

quote: quizzical queries quiesce quiet quarantine quantifiably

5:54 pm

he wants fed, which i'll do after housemate is done eating.

5:54 pm

particularly with words beginning with "Q"

5:55 pm

you're going to give him your housemate's leftovers?

5:55 pm

Cats don't eat quiche, I reckon.

5:55 pm

Okay. NOW I am done. For now.

5:55 pm

no, but he's skittish, so i'll do after she's gone from kitchen.

5:56 pm

Hey, look; I only have 120 words left!

5:56 pm

"Only".....

5:56 pm

couldn't figure out how to fit quokka in there

5:56 pm

nice!

5:56 pm

i think i played for almost five months before i finished a grid.

5:57 pm

when I started, I used to use the word list...gave that up years ago

5:57 pm

I have one S left, and 5 c's off that middle C

5:57 pm

i started before lickety list was a thing.

5:58 pm

that makes sense then :0

5:59 pm

I was living in...California when I started...moved to three other states since then :)

5:59 pm
