Hate this one...
done! laters, all!
that's funny, cornea and retina are both phantoms
Literate
Nope, dirtier : D
Does anyone have stats, please, for the i (eye) in the fourth column, third row?
ic4/5
Not that one - the i above it :)
oops, sorry wrong one
sorry, don't have the other one yet :-)
It 7/28. And morning all.
Morning Soodle!
And Biltong, and Molly
Hi Soodle!
Morning all :-)
And Focal :)
Hi everyone. Nice to see you Focal 😊
ty, soodle
Matty - Did I tell you my grandson (2 at the end of May) is expecting to be a big brother in September?
You didn't - congratulations! Matilda will be 1 next month!
Are you any closer to getting to see her?
bbl, bye all
Sadly, no. Australia are talking about not letting anyone in through 2021
Great news Soodle! Hearing about new life gives us all hope!
That is a shame Matty. And it seems a bit extreme.
I would think people who test negative and can prove they have been vaccinated would not be a threat.
Australia and New Zealand have gone for (and pretty much succeeded in) a zero COVID strategy so...
Well, I will hope for your sake that things ease up soon. And for the sake of all other family members who are not able to see their loved ones.
Ah, the Chicago River is green once again. Things are slowly returning to normal.
Big improvement over the usual gray
I wonder if Biden will let the White House fountain go green.
Good morning, y'all.
Judi has joined the jamboree
Judi, where did you have dinner at the beach?
The Nancy Drew word is in the grid today!
Nancy Drew word??
They way they described her hair color in every book.
* clueless * Don't remember my Nancy Drew.
I only read a few. Found them too formulaic - even at a young age.
Nancy Drew and The Case of The Uninterested Reader
I enjoyed them. A girl detective was fun for me. The color is "often confused for Auburn", per google.
And here I thought that word meant a Martian with big boobs : D
:)
Dictionary.com gives pretty much exactly the same definition for it and auburn.
I can't remember ever seeing it used to describe hair color except in those books.
Ah the days of Nancy and Bess and Ned Nickerson, who wanted to get in Nancy's knickers.
No "getting into knickers" with Nancy Drew! She would NEVER!
Nacy Drew dominated my life in the 50's
I'm not alone! :)
I read thes over and over
I'm not a re-reader, but loved making my way through the series.
My mother would never let me buy the books {{{
:( Thank goodness for libraries!
My library didn't have Nancy Drew. I traded with friends
Why couldn't you buy the books?
BB for my last 15. Enjoy all!
I didn't have the money and Mom wouldn't give me the money.
Did she not approve of Nancy Drew books?
No. Mom raised poor in the Depression. If the library had books, I read them
The thing that confused me was that we had a cleaning woman and lived in the projects
hello
People are weird about my money. My parents basically told me we couldn't afford whatever I wanted but had no problem splurging on themselves. Constant mixed messages.
well now I know why we're talking about Nancy Drew :D
I agree that people are weird about money. The guy down the hall in my office makes three times what I make and yet he is too cheap to buy his own Keurig. He drinks coffee all day, but uses the Kuerig in someone else's office.
and the other person does not mind. I am guessing he does pay for the pods or whatever Keurig uses
should be a question mark after my first sentence
hi all
does the co8 build off of one of the co7?
no
ok ty
has anyone complained yet this time about the machine that puts the holes in the ground not being accepted? I know we do every time.
forgot to mention...last col gray!
phantom rhetoric
Hi all
also phantom front and confront
howdy, mkg
Not seeing the co 8 at all nor any co sevens. Clues or hints welcome.
The machine that puts the holes in the ground ends in OR
hmm, I reckon you're right
then what do we always complain about re: those words?
Hello, friends.
bea!
Hi bea
well, I'm going nowhere fast. guess I'll BBL for last 24.
hi bzz
hi mkg
its supposed to be an auger
What is supposed to be an auger?
Still have no 7s or 8s. Darn.
the co 8
clue
i googled it
i am out bye
Okay, the co8 is supposed to be an auger. This chat is weird.
Or just maybe the chatter.
Syn for auger is corkscrew or countersink. Not in grid. But i wil keep looking
co8 has nothing to do with auger
last 2 col. gray! 15 left.
Yeah, I am not sure where that auger comment came from.
Found the co 8 from more words.
119 left!
Did not see it as syn for auger.
it's tough at the end moo, you will catch me soon enough.
I'm out
It isn't a synonym of auger.
oh, yay
It says meaning is similar to colleague.
Right. That is what we have been trying to tell you.
Ok
in good news, bea, I only have 1 A left
I am missing the i word for the i in third row, 4th column. Any help welcome
Haven't made it there yet.

trying to think how to clue it
repeating I guess

ends in * and rave
Got it. Ty.

oh yeah, the other c7 is easier
neither are regular words IMO
I have an easy c7
I am missing one 7 and 4 c's
oh, so maybe there are 3 c7s :)
but it's possible you think that is easy but I didn't know the word
oh no, this is a regular word
I imagine you'll be satisfied when you find it
LOL, could not see that
I'm a little dissatisfied actually
it's very curly
ok, now 2x4, 4x5, 6x6, 2x8

I wish
23 to go

Is that your last 8?
no, still have the C
trying to ignore everything that's been said about it so far ;D

Do you have all the C's, Carla?
1x4, 2x5, 5x6
9 to go...found a 5 and a 6
ooh, a 6 - 7 left
another 5...8 left
another 6. most of these are the same ending, one who does.
yeah, I had missed some of those
bea, I still need 2 c's
I think that is where your 6's might be.
H E T O CC - 4, 2x5, 3x6
There are four c6

weird that you found it too?
yeah, and oddish word
was skeptical about trying it
I kept trying to make hetaera all day just in case but can never rem. the spelling. finally got it right, but it's not there.
there are like 200 ways to spell that word
plus I don't have any 7's left :D
I have 4, 2x5, 3x6 and 1x7
a 4 that is
H E T O C
A CC O R TT
I could almost have a tractor
T6 add a vowel to the greek giants

I tthink I have that already
I need middle T
me too
well, that one is middle T
yes it is
ah, completed the t
5 to go
and are we ttalking about Nancy Drew's hair color again?
I'm guessing you're missing a t5
help with co8 please
hmm, looks like I have 2 t5 from there
nope, 3
I have 4
I needone more L to complete 4th column
hi all
hey perry
peri, ends with * jacques (song)
my guess on the l would be a babblet 5
yes, that was my last L there and took me forever
completed my 4s
A C C O left
which babblet would that be :-)
LI 5/10
plural of lithuanian coins
must be two li5/10
yes
one easy, one babbletty
ends in a vowel
can I have a hint on the t5? P&TY
ty both
last two columns gray
like maybe 2nd letter?
and points
te 5/10
co8 please
nice, peri. you have caught up to me with gray columns
and if you have that...I have another guess
co8 - ends in a five letter word that is in the board
co8 is the one I said ends in french "***** jacques"
oh ok, looking
I have the te5/10 thatt is a bird
there's another one
tyty carla
duh, similar to the li5 we just talked about
I usually see that one
np, peri
yeah
H E O C
A CC O
so my 4 is eiher H or E
is it the second column e?
1st col
oh, there's an uncommon h4...though it's been in the grid recently
yeah, it's that one
the h
mostly sure
yeah, I don't have any uncommon ones
yeah, that was here yeserday or the day before
well it's a babblet...not a word you would ever of heard of
did I tell y'all my T is on the fritz? it either doesn't type or drops T's randomly.
so I think my C has to be a 5 based on bea's earlier noes.
notes
titillating I'm sure
yep, I swear I tried that several times. probably was keyboard related
2 6's left, O and E
I am missing one C and 33 other words
there's the O, was working all around that all morning
peri, I hit a wall around there. keep going and you will find them!
co 8/60, pls

nbs
molly do you know anything about html5?
Why do you ask?
because i know its replacing java
And so...
Are you coding a web site?
are you good with computer related things?
Depends on what you are talking about.
i read htmlf is free but some say its not
supposedly its not been completely rolled out yet
html and java script are codes for writing web pages mlf --- there was never any "charge" for it -- just something you needed to learn -- like a new language.
true
but html5?
Same thing. Is this in reference to a game site? Are you aware that Adobe Flash is no more and any games based on Flash are no more.
yes game sites
yes html5 is the supposed replacement for it?
Yes, but in terms of web site content, not games.
okay ty
so how do we play those other games?
well i need a break....bbl to find my last 19...bye all....
bye pen
anyway i gtg poof
I don't think she understood that the only reason you would need to know html5 is if you wanted to code a web page.
bbl for the last few
Certain games that were based on Flash are gone for good. html5 isn't going to bring them back.
I am missing an8. I hae
I have co8, fr8 and li8
what 8 am I missing please
there are just 3
oh nm. I am missing a 7
still need one more C to complete that column
ci, cox2, and it
to complete that square I mean
tough grid for me
*!*~*!* tough indeed
hagd everyone
I have a rule that I can't list until I have 2/3 of the board.
I usually wait until about then also, joy.
yay nan!
glad to know I'm not the only one with arbitrary rules.
i always work Z-A once i list, also.
I try to get as many words without looking at the tile stats in the bottom half of the puzzle
then try to work through the tiles with the highest number of words remaining
cool. So many different ways to approach this puzzle. :)
yep...no one way to play it :)
hello! 30 to go here
25 now
20. bbl!
2 words left, both 6 letters. For some reason I have a much harder time with the 6 letter words than with the longer OR shorter words.
Anyway I need the OT and the EN, both 6, 21, so if you have any hints, friends...
ot is to do with the ear, similar to ot4, but like think about the medical name for an ear infection and make it an adj
en is a science word, i think it's some kind of plant or insect or something
oh no wait i'm referring to en6/18 there, that is the wrong word
and it's digestive tracts, not plant or insect, go figure
but the one you want is adj built on the en5 meaning related on the mother's side
duh if i think about it, gastro_______ should be a clue that it is digestive not plant or insect
got the OT! Thanks, hurshy!
(i babble in more than one sense of the word...)
lol
got it! FW! What would I do without you guys?
Hello! Could someone please give me a clue for the first co 5/12?
sort of like the publisher co5 Nast, different fourth letter.
Thank you, seain
:)
I got my second Covid vaccine today. Yay!
congrats! I get my 2nd in the 25th.
After a 2 week wait, I can now get my hair cut. It has been almost 18 months and I now look like a wild, aging hippy chick.
i've been cutting my own, so will need to wait longer to go get a proper cut.
and there are worse things by far than being a hippy chick. :)
That's true. Being one with out-of-control, graying hair is an example :D
no hip hip hip hip hip. no hippie chick.
now that song is stuck in my head.
:)
dang, i've not listened to that in a LOOONG time. I remember dancing to it in clubs.
probably the anthem of anti-hippy for that era.
aw, a cute little li6
Howdy!! How are you All? I just want to say hello and wish you all plenty of positive energy :)
hello, mty, nice to see you.

fireworks means we finished the grid.
The Tile stats change to fireworks when you finish.

not yet according to mty
congratulations, seain.
ah, the woohoo was misleading me
oh, did you finish mty?
i think maybe mty was addressing bichon
but i had missed that at first glance
This was a pleasantly challenging grid today.
15 to go! running out of ideas.
12. one each from 12 different tiles.
