lots of compounds in this grid
Buona mattina, IG.
Mornin
I added prepositions to he4 and wh5
A lot of contract words in this grid

Contracts use words like the two he6 and the wh7
aah - Now I see
lots of words relating to what we walk on, too
wow, I got the 9 within 10 words of starting. That's a good omen
good job!
Is it a compound, mael?
I know you didn't ask me, but yes it is
I'm an equal opportunity asker :) All good - looking
And found it - thanks!
Morning!
yes!
Afternoon!
why is it that the plural of money is monies but the plural of honey is honeys? english is such a mess
I think moneys is proper as well, Mael
just show me the moneys or monies!
then I object to honies not being allowed, haha
Name that famous movie dog

he8.45 a contrat word
sh8.45
Hmmm....I have an he6 which I believe is a contract word, but maybe I'm wrong
contract/legal word
There are 5 of the he contrat words.
I can not spell contract today.
thanks bea
maybe you need your contacts
or should I spell that contats
I think I've found there of them that begin with H (and two that begin with W) - but the Hs are all 6s
There is an he8 that extends from a 6

Ah hah - found it
matty what are the stats for the 6?

good...
sh8 please
don't have it....will look....
found it it is a compound word
ok, ty....
do you need a clue?
need to get going, bbl
ok here...bye peri....
Ooh...the sh8 becomes sh9 with a suffix
I think you will find that is the SN, Dauber.
Thanks Zoom, I was wondering
And suffix might be confusing since it's really just an additional consonant.
ty, zooz....
i need to get some lunch.....bbl to find my last 46....bye all....
good morning everyone :)
helllo again
4th column e stats pls?
gm Nan
ew4/8
ty cosmo
I have s8 x2. What is the 3rd 8 please?
jax can you clue the sn8 pls?
compound word. Cold weather walking
he8 but i dont have it either
that He8 is a compound word as well, a legal term
s it the orner he/?
Don't have the he8 either.....
corner
can come off from either H, if it's not there, it's H---then add another short word to it
top corner he
its a legal term i guess
think along the same lines as the he6s
a legal term for what?
A word used in legal contracts
It's more legal language than a legal term
Tx!!
he8 a relative location plus an entry
What is the difference between legal language and a legal term?
not seeing any he 8 compounds -- assuming the first part is also in this place
got it
if you're not going out of something, you're going ---- it
I tried lots of combinations before 1 worked
add that to the he 4
The second part is _____ the abyss
ty dolly - would never have thought of that
:)
finally got the 9
are the 3fo 7s the same first 4 letters?
I've only got 1
no
2 of them are but 1 comes before those
the 2 that I have begin the same
there's 1 before those
ah ty thats the one i am looking for
clue pls?
it is an fo 6/7 combo
rhymes with a deadly potion
ty again dolly - another new one
lots of Legalese and things you walk on in this grid
i can only think of hemlock

more generic than that mlf
Po----n ivy?
ty was goign in the wrong direction to find it anyway
yw
Holy crap. Half the day is gone and not one word from Carla? She must have laryngitis of the fingers.

THAT"S GREAT
sorry
HOWDY FOLKS
those who were born in canada whose grandparents were of japanese descent
or something like that
I'm so glad Molly missed me :D
hokie had a better offer apparently
I played a little this morning with chat off because I saw persons requesting clues, and then I went on a mt. bike ride/picnic.
56 left!
😜
saw a woman in the parking lot at the trailhead with 6 or 7 cats on leashes. I would have died if I ran across that on the trail. alas, she dumped them all into a pet jogging stroller.
enjoy it now hokie sounds like rain might be coming soon though nice here so far
and yes, I'm off RVing and no I'm no longer on FB. quit that pre-pandemic and never looked back.
See, I knew it. No such thing as a day without Carla.
you all can't be so lucky :P
But we can dream, can't we?
exactly
hokie that is awesome you got off of fb and never looked back!
it's just so toxic
it seems like it has gotten that way, i am still on it just dont use it
hokie do you have ce6?
yes, it's like a water source in a cave.looks kinda like a hundred dollar bill slang. we have it quite a bit.
ty
np
got it
I never got the attraction of Facebook. I do know that a lot of my friends have closed their accounts in the past year.
I started on it back when they still required a .edu email address to register, and it was a lot of fun for a few years.
i hate Facebook but i love the connections it enables me to have, esp to college friends, and even alumni that i didn't know at the time, and to people interested in discussing certain topics and stuff
slightly stuck here with 28 left.
just starting here
yes, I had just found a bunch of sewing groups a year or so before I quit. I do miss those.
name that proper noun! township in Johannesburg
afternoon all, back for my last 210
moo!
hey hoke, happy day...whatever day that might be
thanks, no idea!
phantoms: sawn, sown
hurshy, did you see below where I saw a lady taking her 7 or 8 cats on a hike?
no! wow!
that's even crazier than me!
might be the funniest thing I've ever seen on a trail, but we did run into some people with 2 goats once.
were they on leashes?
the cats i mean. well the goats too i guess
well, that's 100 down
she had them all on leashes (with the exception of one dangling by its arms from her back), but then she put them all into one jogging stroller and zipped the top shut.
the goats were not leashed
we actually saw cat lady in the parking lot
i wonder if she will take them out of the stroller at any point and let them walk.
3rd row is my biggest problem right now
i'm doing S, i need 3 top and 4 third row
phantom theorizes
I have 3 top, 5 other
I have phantom heretofore
ooooo
ncie
name that proper noun! a Japanese religion
shinto
ding ding ding!!!
hmm, was moo responding nice or trying to make the PB
I avoided it...you didn't
though it was only coz I typoed ;)
150 down...60 to go
yeah, I wondered if it was an intentional typo
oops
nah, just typing faster with my mind than my fingers
have an4, aw4, what's the other A word?
an6/30
dauber just gave it to you ;)
ah thanks!
am missing that as well
Oh, I could have a lot of pun with this
if it helps me find it, pun away
Love is the An6
duh
well in some ways, it's a "questionable" definition
I just gleeked all over my new laptop. no wonder the keyboard quit working properly on the last one
you should have that looked at
wouldn't nonsent be the singular of nonsense?
no, then it would be nonsents
stop being logical
yeah but since nonsent IS nonsense, it's kind of meta
sintoot - flatulence
now I like that hursh
now you are just being nonsent
27 to go
he8 please
I also have 27 left
but you prob ably found a word while I was typing that
tx for the letters peri
a conjunction I think for the he8
don't have peri, but I had a sneaking suspicion one of the 8s started with he
yes, tx to peri's hint
that was my first 8
mine too
kind of like your ncie word hoke
more help please
are you saying it's similar to my phantom heretofore?
extend you h4
yes, he is hokie
he8 = in this location + not "out of" but...
I accidentally saw another 8 in the chat - compound word, you all should get easily
got it. thanks. new word for me
thx
25 now
24 here
104 here
are there is- words?
aha, no, there aren't, phew
still need 2 i's from the middle.
yeah that was what i needed
nm
turns out i've gotten so used to british spellings that i forgot to try the american one
was trying to make the brit sp work there
same!
yeah
now just need 1 F to finish that row
Hurshy do you spell words the Brit way?
sometimes, if i remember.
I don't, but they trip me up here so often that I was trying to do it this morning
i always spell grey, not gray, idk if that's brit/american or just random
I think I'm the only person here that uses gray instead of grey
No I mean like do you spell fetus foetus?
4th row gray!
And stick u's into words like color and humor
i like to do the u in those - again, if i remember
And do you give out lolly's on Halloween and put the baby in the pram after changing her nappy
i think of foetus less as british spelling and more as latin spelling, though
well, i've basically never had any trick-or-treaters come, and i don't like babies, so...
I heard George Clooney, who is from KY, saying nappy recently on a podcast. Now I know his wife is Italian and they live in Italy, but come on.
otherwise he sounded like a very normal, down-to-earth person
People use Brit terms to put on airs. Like "ta"
if i am talking to british people online, i think i do tend to remember to use british terms like that though. and i definitely say "GP" for doctor, and i forgot for awhile that that's not something americans usually say
do you have a mobile or a cell phone?
his wife isn't Italian, hokie, she's British
still 24 :)
that's neither here nor there
had he never heard of a diaper in all his time in the US?
20!
i do think i saw him in an interview recently saying how they thought it'd be great having the kids learn italian but now the kids can speak italian to each other and not have the parents understand them
We use a hybrid of language in my house
BTW, the podcast was Smartless which is hosted by 2 US Americans and a Canadian.
I don't think I have ever heard someone say that they don't like babies
LOL, I agree Molly
i suppose many people don't admit it openly because it's frowned upon or whatever?
I speak Appalachian English in my house all the time, and the youngest and I do all the Spanish we can (which doesn't amount to a hill of beans).
Who is Clooney married to? What I just looked up said his wife is Lebonese
or a mesa of frijoles?
I love babies. They're so cute and they smell so good.
Hi hi all
she's of Lebanese descent but she was a British barrister
Same reason I don't talk much about how I don't like cats
Amal Clooney, i forget her maiden name
I learned that gray is for the color is grey is a name. Unless it's the other way around; I always forget.
well, a mesa is more a table top
well yes, loma then
had to look that up tho
interesting joy. I do wonder why I'm the only one here that uses gray.
i just think grey seems ever so much smokier and foggier and more ephemeral so i prefer it
Wait a minute, she was Italian a minute ago
I said she was, hurshy corrected me
that was what hokie said, but it was incorrect. they live in Italy now, that's all.
and I think grey is too fancy and putting on airs
grey grey grey
need 1 N on bottom row and 2 T on last col to gray those 2 out
did we find other 8s and/or the 9? only have the he8 that was mentioned
me too..and one more c
did you get no5/20 hokie?
sn8/9 is the compound I was saying you should get
wow, moo is so fancy
ah thanks
I didn't, tx hursh
3 ce, 2 ci
I have a lot of air on right now
tx, have them now hoke
thanks, hurshy. I thought about it this morning from the upper N and declared it a phantom
I need help with the HE7.
see that's why you put things just in case
he7 butts
ah, missing the plural...musta typoed it earlier...tx hursh
I have he7 - rear ends
sheesh, missed those too
well 17 left now
11 for me
19
still 2 T's in last col. any weird ones?
missing two as well
well, found one...easy one I'd missed
I did get the archaic britches one
not really any weird ones, maybe you don't have "more posh"? i'm missing one too tho
and the other...also easy
ok. will check my list twice like santa
thanks for the butts!
sonset - when your offspring finally leaves home
found one t
then we both need one more
off the bottom?
I think my brother is tootier than most
no, the side
oh
still 2 off that one
there's a singular plural
and there's an odd 4
have the singular plural
yeah, the singular plural is the britches
yeah, the singular plural is the britches\
yeah, the singular plural is the britches\
yeah, the singular plural is the britches\
odd 4, i have some of the usuals, like to4/7 and tr4/7
how can 4 be odd? it should be even
yeah, the to was the one I was thinking of
it's worth 7 points hoke...which is odd
no 5, 20...wtf? Really?
sure is, but still not the T I'm looking for
totally
I'm missing one off there now too
yes, Joy, we have that one a bit. noway is that normal.
perhaps we all miss the same one!
still have 5 4's left
well, it's not toer, no matter how many times I try it
Just got it...my grandpa used to say that all the time but I always thought it was two words. Still do, actually.
I have 2x4 3x5 4x6 2x7 1x8
well, kinda stuck here with 10 to go, guess i'll list
weird pair of F's that rhyme with toxin(s)
blast, forgot that hw4
oh, should have gotten no7
I have F finished. We had those weird ones just the other day.
maybe i didn't finish that day
no7 was the first word I saw this morning
aha, sh8, compound
could've sworn that was 2 words
last T was "sorta like 2000 pounds"
and i didn't know you could spell a dog bark that way!
30 words left...trying to finish before I fall asleep. Got my 2nd jab today and I'm getting woozy.
I think it's an onomatopoeia for the sound of a sudden burst of flame
ah, we have that T occasionally and I always miss it
moo, I think you are talking about wo5 and she's talking about wh5
I was talking about the wh
had both those but still need 1 w
oh, now you're just talking nonsents
I think of the wo as more the sound of something speeding by you...just me though?
no
would think woohoo would work right?
woohoo!!
woohoo!!
now with extra exclamations
really, it's hit or miss with enable
still 15 here - 7 are S, 5 H, W, 2 R
that last 8..sheesh
I know it's a thing but it's 2 words!
and it's only arbitrarily a thing
wonder what enable thinks of shoehorn
probably allowed since that can also be a verb
shoehorn is allowed
hokie, when you wonder that, just put it in the add word box. if it says it's not in the PUZZLE then it's allowed, if it says it's not in the DICTIONARY then it isn't
and of course shoestring
shoebill...
but not shoebox
yes, I know how that works, was just commenting to see others' takes. guess I'm just talking to hear myself talk though.
and let's not forget shoepac/k
shoepac takur?
no idea where my post just went
yes...the famous footwear specialist who was taken down by a pair of doc martins
Apparently, "shoepac" is a word that would be accepted.
yes it is
but not shoebox
9 left
There are some exceptions to that rule, hurshy. Recently it has been saying that "spam" isn't in the puzzle even when it is.
let's hope our puzzles never get spammed
where are my posts going?
probably should stop using US Mail
Well, that one is visible to me.
unless you're trying to build a fence
There is some glitch with the word spam. A player claims that Dr. God agreed to add it. Ever since then, it has been saying "not in the puzzle" even if it is.
Dr. God's response when I told him that: interesting. That's all.
Probably the puzzles we've been doing were generated before he added it.
that's a plausible theory, Gillie (she said admiringly)
anybody get a pangram from today's Spelling Bee on the NYT?
i couldn't think of one
weird, moo's shoesstring post was the last one I could see, but now I'm back
that is a good theory, however, we ran out of puzzles not too long ago, and he had to generate a bunch more. that's how we found it he generates a bunch at a time instead of just a new one magically appearing every day.
I think the spam glitch predates the new puzzles
i did not know that we ran out of puzzles.there are so many, i would not remember if there were repeats.
Possibly he updated the list that is used to check whether a word is in the dictionary during play, but not the list used when generating the puzzles (assuming they aren't the same).
well one day there was an issue and Dr. God came in and said he'd run out of puzzles and had to generate more. maybe Molly remembers and I'm not crazy.
Yes, it seems like he could reuse old puzzles and likely no-one would notice.
someone keeps a spreadsheet with different stats. who was that? I'm so bad at remembering names.
luc, i believe
That would be Montreal
no, the one I'm thinking of wasn't Mont
Are you thinking of the alternate list? That doesn't work anymore
no, we recently had 2 days in a row of same number of words and someone came in and last time it happened was just in Feb because she keeps a spreadsheet of things.
hurshy if you're reading this, I did get the pangram for today's NY Times Spelling Bee. It didn't jump out at me though.. took a while
snowshoe
yikes. sorry

Hi Pen
Thanks for the so6 Hursh
i'm a complete idiot
I doubt that
i thought i had email forwarding all set up from an old address to a new one, but apparently i didn't. i missed a chance to interview for a job last summer, because i didn't even realize this until today. i emailed to apologize, but, argh.
oh hurshy that sucks
What a pain!
ty hursh
i wish to goodness i had not changed my name when i got married, cause then i wouldn't have been changing it BACK when i got divorced and had this happen. let that be a lesson to all young women - DO NOT change your name! there are so many other hassles that come with it, too, some of which i've gone through and some of which i've heard from other women.
last word so6/30 help plse
Ends with plural of a word meaning pale
ty liz
yw and congrats
congrats, peri....
Fireworks
congrats...
I agree with Hurshy. DO NOT change your name. It is an inordinate pain in the ass changing it back.
Thanks. Thanks for the clues in the chat. Have a good day / evening everyone
and when Molly and I agree, you know it's good advice! lol
Congrats Liz!
