nbt/nbs...ma 9/10...what a dummy
I just found an aq8 but don't see a 9 from it. hmmm
aq 10, 11
oops -- no aq 9-10. It was the 10-11 that I found
well, then... aq8!
not seeing that one, but off to bed -- good night everyone
Got the aq 10 11 but not the 8 9. Hmmm.
I do not think there's an aq9, mkg, though haven't looked at the list
called that by mistake, mkg
so I could just be missing it
Oh ok. Ty.
Missing 8s and 9s so far.
but I just found an au7 so I'll add that
dizgrannie called ma9/10
an 9 if not called
not anchor or anchovie
Did anyone call the IN8?
Don't think so. Thanks
joy, against a singing group
Thanks, Diz
nice clue, thanks diz
yw
I think it might actually mean before the singing group, but I'm not sure.
DONT get the singing group
The signing group is tough. Unusual spelling, but common word. They often sing in a church.
sleepy time for me. goodnight and good luck all
TY O
TY JOY GOT IT
Great clue at 1 a.m. my time! Never would've gotten that one.
There are a lot of church architecture words I have learned playing this game.
Didn't look it up...too busy diving in to the lovely grid!
*Pictures Champ with a flowered, Esther Williams bathing cap
Ha! Wasn't she something?
Does the aq10 start with water, please?
Yes, Matty - not sure if you want anything else on those....
I wouldn't mind a wee nudge, if that would be ok...?
np - I have 5 so far....
extend to a branch of military service
Of course. Thank you

I did try the DC character that they made a fairly recent movie of with Jason Momoa
He will always be Khal Drago to me : D
He is one sexy beast even when playing a bad guy
hello
I'll have NBT/NBS if someone gives me ANY 8 word, please;)
I have in8.50
Good morning.
Morning, Scrabs.
A different clue for that in8, please? The below clue doesn't help me.
in + another word for a ditch
i found the 10/11
ty bzz
ty, bzz :)
may i have stats for any 8 pls?
sorry i meant 9
hi cross!!
I have ma9.78
Crossy's here! I met someone the other day that has family in Owen Sound.
:) Owen Sound is but an hours drive west of me. :)
The kid's paternal grandparents live there and the pandemic has kept them apart.
'morning, babblers
Morning, welki.
Hello up there, welki.
Yes. We are still being quite tight with our covid precautions, and in my area mask usage is still thankfully at near 100% compliance.
Excellent, Crossy. A week ago I saw 2 unmasked people in the supermarket and no employee corrected that situation. And the people with face shields only baffle me.
What's wrong with a face shield?
yesterday showed zero new cases in my town and the two adjacent towns near us.
Face shields are also fine, spellit
Thanks!
bzz clue pls?
We have regular unanounce visits by government inspectors who can and do fine both customers and employess should they see a mask or distancing violation. The fine is $880 fr first offense.
sorry for the typs
typos-- my "O" is sticking
ma8 and 9 are dress forms
A face shield does not protect the wearer--they are breathing in all the germs.
Not if you maintain social distancing. Somne people don't seem to know what 2 metres is!
face sheilds in combination with a mask-- our door people also wear eye protection
Good to hear, crossy.
Face shield has kept me safe for a year now.
it gets bad in my store,, as customers do not care to much for distancing sometimes. gets so bad we sometimes have to heave our work and vacate the aisle.
bzz duh ty
leave our work*
because even at the 25% capacity rule, our store still lets in 165 people at a time. :(
The problem starts when all of them are in the produce and dairy area at once. :(
Please stay safe, Crossy.
I have dodged the bullet so far, scrabby. I have been in there five days a week non-stop since day one of covid.
I am due for my first shot next month as an essential food service worker
Yay!
ho 6 clue pls?
It's not honcho. Don't try that.
to be truthful
TY, Bea.
ty bzz
yw
yeah need another o for that. its just like i tried the word sentence not there either

welki!
I love having the q. Lots of fun words.
LOL, you would
I found only 12 so far
but the A next to it is the only one I've had to move on from without half - only 3 so far
There are a many more that use that tile.
That A has several words with that tile.
ok
I did find the fancy pageant dress item
which a hokie?
top A
i have 4 words from it
nice
pb hokie
yeah, I don't care. hadn't made it to that row yet, so maybe you need the PB for giving it away by drawing attention
nope lol
I agree with you, Carla.
so, if a bear's in the woods, and you don't know it
it's there, there is no bear :)
Four letter words should be exempt from pb infraction.
agreed bzz
There are advantages to the PB. Cocktails and snacks, mostly.
agreed, I'm not going to tiptoe around regular convo
and chocolate?
good morning folks
Hey, ru. How are you feeling?
i seem to be ok bea.. no really weird reactions.. just sore in the arm again and not as bad as the first shot..

in and where soilders would dig to protect themsleves on the front line.
I mean, in + that

Being a seamstress, you should have found a 9/10 combo
agreed bzz and doesnt seem like it should be the case
That is where the 9/10 combo is
hmm, long words aren't my forte but I will try with that hint
I have both tens and all the 9s!
i have it
Still missing one 9.
what do the tens start with
wow, zooz, well done. (why aren't you smug like ru)

For the 10 it is MA 9 & 10

Don't be a dummy, Nan & hokie!

oh - ty carla - don't use one of those
The human looking statues that they put in clothing store windows
i had it already
well, I found it after seeing ma, so there. :P
Wasn't there some horrible 80's movie about one of those things come to life
yes, was going to mention that, and no, I never saw it
Yes I think there was.
I quit that line of thought with the painter
didn't it come to life to be somebody's girlfriend?
There were so many horrible 80's movies
There is a song by Kraftwerk called showroom dummy hence why I said don't be a dummy lol
and Dorothy Parker's topic
just found a weird ma set so just need 10 now
ma10 is a pl
Big business I have heard, Hokie. Saw a programme on TV a few years back and some men pay top dollars for one.
oh, the real dolls?
i have seen that on tv as well
Not sure what they call them but that sounds about what they are meant to be yes.
yeah, a bit creepy
living dolls
Well what ever ffoats their boat and they are not hurting anyone I suppose. Not for me that is for sure.
floats*
still only 1/2 the q's -- thinking there are a lot of strange words today
There are only a couple of odd ones in the q's
Not really, Nan.
I too only have half of them. I wonder if we have the same half!
one with a choo choo on the end was the one I struggled with.
That is the poem
odd that so many of the qu's don't have plurals that they could have. I guess I should see what the words mean.
and yes, I just used mean and I don't care
thx bea & zooz
If people cannot find that word, Hokie maybe they should not be choosing this type of game to play lol
have the poetry one
that helped me find french ones
Ditto!
i have the thirst word
yes have the french number there are other french ones?
not a pint but a qu
The other qu8.60 is what you might call Ru when he is on a roll.
i only have 8 qu words
lol, good clue, bea. how that is a word on enable is beyond me.
oh - ty bea - didn't have that one
7 x q to go
is one of them about horse without the first letter?
without first and last letter
I am down to 2 q's
that would be yet another qu 8 carla?
my response to mlfan is for a qu4, the horse without the first and last letters
noting is working
Only two q8
ok -- thought you were talking about the horse rider
What is the horse, mlf?
do either of them start with qu 5/16?
cyber yes
The 8's?
I thought she was referring to equine
yes
qu8.55 ends with the locomotive.
That's what I though the was trying to get. The qu4 and 5
as carla said the qu 4 is a horse without the first and last letter
no equine in the grid
They do not start with qu5.16, mlf.
is the aq10 a regular word? compound? water related? not seeing it.
It's a bluish green colour
semi precious stone
yes, we know, that's why I typed it into the chat, it's not in the grid
the oen i am think of is pertains to horse riding
thx, guys. should have seen tha.
hey, found the 11! :D
NO HORSE RIDING
I just told you it ends in locomotive...choo choo...
lol bea
now I see what word she means - equestrian
and no, I just tried questrian and it didn't take, so no
hokes YES:D
Sorry, I should just check out when I get frustrated.
exactly
but why would you ask us if a word is something wihtout just trying it first to see if it takes? you aren't penalized for wrong words
REmember that almost all qu words are followed with a vowel after the qu...
Bea, I totally understand your frustration
just found the qu 4 that is half of a swamp
not one I need. :D
moving on...
so hten i thought cho lol but went the othe rdirection and got the word

I need 4 top A, 2 under that one, and 6 on bottom
well, the break didn't help. have only found 4 more words.
i'm down to 43 left now
Does anyone have a valid link to the enable word list? I've had a problem with my computers and have lost quite a bit of data.
i didn't know there was a way for us to access it
I know that some use it but I can't remember exactly who.
Is this it? https://www.wordgamedictionary.com/ena\nble/
take the \ out
https://www.wordgamedictionary.com/ena\nble/
the \n
NANCY are you here?
hi all
you can't paste a URL in chat without geting \n added in like that
I see that
Thanks for helping JM but the one I had was in a spreadsheet.
if you google enable word list, there are quite a few results. I don't remember if this game uses the most up to date one or not. I have never seen a link for a spreadsheet one here but that doesn't mean a lot.
Thanks Carla ~ I had done that but will look again.
The gentleman who created the list was a Babbler if I recall correctly.
right column gray
Brandyjack?
good old BJ
I don't think that was the name but....

I just have one na5/10 but a couple of na5/12
aha! thx
ok you prob need the first na5/10 then :D
of course, foreign currency
rehi, nan
7 m's to go
still 10 M's here
hello again
lol, nan, we didn't even know you left since 5 min ago
ooh, found an M
omg - you didn't notice how quiet it was in here :D
I rehi'd you at 3:09
oh - lol - forgot I'd already said hi again
really not clicking on all cylinders yet
makes me glad I'll have had almost 2 weeks to recover before I get my covid shot.
how's it going now? still really sore?
Which shot did you get?
I think she is referring to her fall.
I have been trying to find one. missed a mass event on Wed.
ok, hope for the best
yes, carla -- it was worse 3 yesterday than 3 days after the accident. Most of the scabs have fallen off now and the bruises are starting to lose their colour, so a lot better today, but still sore.
well, I'm glad you didn't break anything
*worse than the day of the accident
oh - me too. Already have 2 bionic knees!
How did you fall, nan?
but still painful, I know
I didn't see that the trap door to the crawl space was open and stepped right through while looking for something in a cupboard. 7 foot drop to a concrete floor, bouncing of walls and a ladder on the way down.
good golly
oy vey!
Holy geez louise !!!
yikes, nan. you must be covered with bruise
cent
sounds like something out of a movie
won't do that again, lol
phantom for the grid, not so phantom for real life: quarantine
W@as some one at home with you?
yeah, I've thought quarantine a couple of times but thought maybe it was just in my head
oh nan, I am so sorry to hear of your fall! How awful for you!
and hello everyone
yes - and I was able to get up on my own, so I knew I hadn't broken anything.
that's amazing
thank you all, but over the worst of it now I think --- it's just still slowing me down a bit and I can't get back to my walking regime until the bruises and swelling goes down.
hello, can someone clue the an9/66 please?
I would have nightmares about it, I think
who left the cellar trap door open that sounds awful nan
an 9?
aha, one of my 9's. looking now.
there is only one other person in this house, ru and he feels terrible. Waiting on me hand and food (Wonder how long that wil last ) :)
against church singers lbd
thanks Ru, weird word.
thx ru
wow..I'm glad you didn't break anything.. so sorry
oh -- thanks for the an 9 -- didn't have that one
Thanks Ru.
yeah, I would have never found that on my own
before, not against, lol
i was just going to say that, hurshy!
yes, was easy to figure out once I realized just one i in play
i didn't even have the church singers though!
sorry.. it was the best way to clue it
I did have the church singers, so that didn't help with my missing 4 C's
my phantom today seems to be "spinach"
took me a while ty all
the word still doesn't make sense -- silence was an 9?
wow, out of all the phantoms I have spinach was not one
lol hokie
yeah i didn't have that one either
trif is special
THAT is an understatement
my phantom is martini - sounds good though
My phantom was marionette.
it does! Not a spinach martini though - gross
oooh good one rainqui!
martinet
tadone!!! thanks for the clue, this was a tough grid!
I even typed martinet this morning JIC
Why thank you, thank you very much !
well done, dawger
huzzah for lbdawger!
grats dawger
whoo hoo! greyed one tile! smug
later folks.. have a great day
ttfn ru
You too Ru
ta ta ru ru
big one today
that's what she said
yep, moo, and not super easy. still 48 left.
brilliant, trif!
im basically a giant 12 year old
my husband and I do those all the time, it's like we literally can't stop.
first 100 down
noice
i have 300 words!!!!
only 279 here. have been trying to finish the 4s at least. still have 2.
it's hard to finish the 4s by trying, i feel
cause you don't know which letters of them you're missing
not really, you just methodically try every 4 combo from your non-gray iles
that would take forever
tiles. I told y'all about my faulty t, right?
well, I had 6 or 8 left when I started
usually just a last resort thing.
200 down
noice
i just started, so not anywhere near 100 yet
moo just started too! he's like superhuman fast.
i just found a kind of monkey
im just regular
I'm regular to slow
now i can put that monkey to work
haha
slow and steady wins the race (not really)
.....waiting for someone to make a "try dulcolax" joke
oh i just found a poetry component
oooooh good one, hurshy!
I am entering words that I know I entered last night
yeah, some of the 4s I just found I had other versions of tthem and know I did the root
ha look an easy pair of r words i missed!
100 to go
19 here
47
surprised how many 6s I've found so far: 51
I just found a 6!
I have only found 55
but they are not my strong suit
normally a weaker part for me too
i only have 15!
just found a pe 7 that is absolutely 2 words
only have 3 8s and none of the 9-11 yet thou
hmmm i bet i need whatever that is
hmm, I don't have any pe7, maybe I should look for 2 words
nm, found a 10 and the 11
want a clue?
i have a pe7 but i don't think it is the same one cause it doesn't look like two words
trade you clues, hurshy
sure, thx, nan
moniker used by a writer
mine kind of looks like it would sound like that Chilean dictator
that is 2 words, I agree
thanks nan
well, i think I know what you're getting at, hurshy but not gtting the right letter combo
got it!
now just need 1 P
or kind of like that game but without the L
ty hurshy
i still need the pe 8
17 left, that's 95% complete!
oh there's an 8 too? :D
guess that's my last P :D
I'm apparently 78% complete...at least on numbers of words :)
I don't want to do the math
87%
"oh no!" says Rilla, "it's the attack of the Crazy Momma!"
okay, gotta get the daughter some food, brb
66 to go
i shall get the list now i think
did you find the pe8?
no
no -- keep wanting permanent to be there
or penchant
I have tried permeate several times today, so I can tell you it's not that
yes - have tried that a few times too
do you know hte points, nan?
pe 8/50
permeate would work perfectly if it was there!
ends in picnic pest
thx for the clue
ty - new one for me
okay, back
rehowdy
rehi there
I think I found one word while you were gone
I just found a word :)
hello again mool
but I have more to find
hey nan
need 3 C's to finish 4th col
happy saturday
and before you ask, I did find the c spelled the canadian/uk way
do you have ce 7?
of course not, thanks. looking...
Clue for on8 please?
on + creek
ends with a brook
tx for the ce and on
still looking for the ce :D
thought for a second it was ceramic
think 100 and french
it sounds like a measure of land using the 100 root
River? Brook? Rivulet?
think slightly bigger
or what you do tto watch netflix
or think about watching video over the internet
Tx for the ce!
Changing horses in the middle of a _____ gets you wet and sometimes cold
Tx! Got it!
I wish I knew any french
there are 100 ...... in a dollar
well, 1 of a hundred pennies is what I get when I google 100 french, so I'm on the right track
add a form of the verb "to be"
ends in a conjugation of to be
thank you both.
found a c5! now just one c left.
whew. finished. certain muscles in the arm were my last word
still have two c's to go myself
were? was? muscles plural, but word singular. very awkward.
omg, can't believe those, hurshy
well done hurshy - still have 50 left
whole slug of re's
weird that the word itself can't be singular. I use it that way all the time
I have 7 r's left. wonder how many are redoing something.
feels like I've tried everything
3 r's left
40 words left overall
still no 9s tho
remances - when you get back together with an old bf/gf
you're sort of close to an re9 with that moo
re9 makes you think of a word for remember as well as a P word for staying power, lasting forever
can anyone clue the re 9 please?
if you take the not-in-grid P word i just referred to, instead of "per" you just put "re"
aq8 is like a guess a person who is of a certain zodiac sign?
why am i cluing that, you want 9s
ty hurshy
oh yeah so there's an9, before the church singing group
and ma9, dummy
tx on the a
tx on the m too
need a break
wow, hurshy with the name calling
no idea how I got that re9 on first try
now just need 1 8 to finish the big ones
hey, found an M!
manch5 - what guys who used to sing in boys' ch5 sing in when they grow up
not seeing re9 or the an9
the an9 is a space in front of the ch5 that sings in a church
I no nothing about churches
do you know who does the singing in churches, sometimes as a group and sometimes along with the congregation?
ends in that, has an prefix that means before
of course I knew that ty carla
re9 please
will go to list soon otherwise I will be here past my bedtime.
well, I was going to clue re9 and then went and read hurshy's further clues and that is exactly what I would have said, so not sure how
ok I will keep looking
almost sounds like leftover fabric pieces (not scraps, but re7) with an extra syllable thrown in
nothing if working for me but ty
sorry
no worries I appreciate the effort
I am belong 100 left so listing soon
have made it to 37 but super slow going, so should probably list as well
I just listed. LOVE the *I thought I typed that* already game.
yeah, I'm sure there'll be some of that
TITT! Thought I Tried That
Fun times!
And you probably did try that, but added an extra space or letter because you were madly typing
esp. with my faulty T, I am sure that will be the case
You're working with a handicap. 10 words is fair, I think!
good point
not on list yet, but just found ae6/7. you'd think I could've seen that sooner.
It has a T in it...bring on the handicap! You typed it, I'm sure...
no, I cannot tell a lie, I can't look backwards.
Like George costanza, 'can't go left'
:D
found one of my last two 4's!
wohoo!
32 left - 90%. guess I will list now.
There are some words that appears in almost every puzzle that I manage to miss almost every day.
yes, we all have those nemeses
as do we all joy -- hi again
oh hey, nan
hey nan. We actually went out of the house today for a few hours. I've almost forgotten how.
I saw an acquaintance at the grocery store recently and had forgotten all social things. I was very awkward.
it is going to take some adjustment to socializing again isn't it?
Tres
Trench
Tench
Teno
Tern
wrong box girl
I read an interesting article in The Atlantic today about what the quarrantine has done to our brains.
Manic
slow down there!
I know. I occasionally run into people I know at the grocery store and I don't know what to do. You can't shake hands or hug or kiss.
Manner
guernseygirl you are typing in chat instead of in the add word box.
guernsey girl you're typing in the wrong place.
...and none of them are words I need
:)
Sorry. I didn’t realise. I’ll go to the pb
well, I'm not a hugger so that has always been awkward, but it was like I'd forgotten how to have a conversation.
it's trying to carry on more than a 10 min. converstion -- after you've asked after the family, there is nothing else to talk about other than covid and politics both of which we are all sick of
we'll send you snacks, guernseygirl. We've all been there.
Thanks. Joym. The only thing getting me through lockdown is chocolate!
I finally got all 42 Ms! Phew!
Chocolate is essential.
add a little grand marnier or henessey to that and I'm in
hey - there is light at the end of this tunnel :)
May I please have a clue for op7-32? Thanks
ends in a picnic pest
surgeon
first ma 7/32 please?
figure it must begin with most of the red planet
Thanks much joy and nan.
I just went and got some frozen custard. I love that they have a walk-up window.
no one for the ma 7 ? How about the ae 6-7 please?
sorry, missed your request.
nm - got them
all 3?
wow, one of my missing M's was a regular everyday word
looking for the first ma 7/32 please
that is my last m I think. struggling also.
I'm looking for that one too.
I feel like the 3rd and 4th letters have to be only one option for each
the ma 7 begins with the red planet I think
has ot be mara I think
of course none of the possibilities for the last 3 letters works
I know
do you have the an 7/28 please?
looked up the M. of course I didn't try that possibility because it's up and back.
ma + * and rave + vowel
the AN7 builds off the AN4 and ends with a vowel
ty joy
yw
not the vowel I was expecting on that an7, but finally got it, thx
ty carla -- must have tried everything else
16 left, all R S T
