Hi, Une - slow chat day. everyone sleeping in?

I'm already at fW, so signing off. bye

6:35 am

Kudos!

6:48 am

Just curious . . . do most of you grab words as you see them or take one letter at a time?

6:56 am

as I see them

6:58 am

ty

7:12 am

I do them as I see them. I am not organized enough to go letter by letter or row by row.

7:13 am

I've tried both ways and it seems like grab 'em as you see 'em works better

7:18 am

I do both, go through as I see them. Especially as I often dip in and out while working. Then after that first flush I start going through letter by letter.

7:31 am

Grab them as I see them. Love being random!

7:31 am

waiting for a callback from the Dr

Thank God it wasn't Gangnam style

7:35 am

Ouch! Nasty. Wish you better.

7:35 am

I just thank god it wasn't one of those australian spiders.

7:36 am

🤣🤣 I worry more about snakes.

7:36 am

Hi all.

7:36 am

Australian fauna is terrifying

7:36 am

Any clues for 8s or the 9? Ty

7:37 am

good morning mkg.

7:38 am

Yes Harry. Though truthfully in the 12 years I’ve lived here, I haven’t seen anything venomous in the wild.

7:38 am

heh - I figured it's not quite as bad as the nature shows make it.

7:39 am

though you could get cuddled to death by a koala?

7:39 am

They’re out there but you don’t go walking in long grass. I love cuddling koalas.

7:40 am

Though there aren’t many places that let you do that but the sanctuary near us allows it.

7:40 am

:)

7:44 am

Goodnight from Downunder. I’ll finish this tomorrow. Enjoy your days everyone.

7:44 am

bye liz

Any further hints harry?? Ty

7:54 am

sorry - have to run to class. hagd!

7:55 am

Thanks

7:59 am

en8 = plural of en7 = the epilogue

8:01 am

Is there a synanym for epilogue?

8:02 am

en* = opposite of the beginning + no4 = write myself a no4

8:04 am

Got it?

8:05 am

note to self: if a word won't go, it doesn't matter whether you're thinking of it as "grammatically incorrect past tense of came out of sleep" or "cooked in a wok", it still won't go

8:05 am

Haha

8:06 am

hi scrabs

8:06 am

Are you teaching still, hurshy?

8:07 am

ugh, yeah, but it's vacation this week. i'm in a long-term sub position for the rest of the year

8:09 am

Ty got the en

8:09 am

Spring break timing is so different among schools.

8:09 am

yeah

8:10 am

and i do NOT see what my last W can be!!

8:10 am

a crazy one for that W

8:10 am

I have 3 4's (2 wa and 1 wo) and a wo5.

add two different vowels to the end of the wa4

8:11 am

there's wa5 scrabs

for two wa 5s

8:11 am

ah, thanks ladycece

yw

I guess I am not fully awake. not seeing 2 diff. vowels at the end of that.

8:19 am

I had to go to the list. wa4/13--the 2 wa5s involve a vowel at the end

oh, I get the clue now

I was trying to add 2 diff vowels to the end to make a 5

1 wa4 with 2 diff ending vowels makes 2 wa5's

(I already had the other)

8:20 am

i knew that was the problem and i was just typing to tell you that when you said you got it

8:20 am

Yes, I was adding 2 vowels to a wa4 without success.

thanks, ladycece. it wasn't you, it was me.

8:22 am

hello

morning, mlfan

8:22 am

Good morning, MLFAN.

8:22 am

8:23 am

It's burgeoning spring

I have some birds singing outside here, you might be right, bichon

8:25 am

I love early spring with buds and baby leaves. There are so many colors.

I love it but it doesn't love me

8:26 am

Allergy season.

8:27 am

i am worried that the ecosystems in my town are not healthy. went hiking in a nature preserve yesterday and only heard one bird the whole time. saw no squirrels or anything either.

8:38 am

ty hurshy

8:46 am

ke 7 clue pls?

8:47 am

most

8:47 am

Nothing wrong with the ecosystems in my town. Plenty of birdsong and even more squirrels.

the squirrels are a nightmare at my house

8:47 am

duh ty

I have a peach tree in a planter and I should just move it into our screened porch because every year I think I'm going to get a peach and they eat them all.

8:48 am

squirrels love to climb birdfeeders

8:48 am

They are piggish little things

8:48 am

I buy hot pepper birdseed, squirrels don't like it

8:49 am

hmm, i really thought endcap would work

8:49 am

End cap is two words

8:50 am

hot peppers seeds? birds eat it?

8:50 am

Yes, it attracts the most wonderful birds..cardinals, woodpeckers, flickers, chicadees, red wing blackbirds and more

8:51 am

fascinating

8:51 am

it comes in a cylinder. google it

8:51 am

wow

8:52 am

why google it when we can just believe you? :)

8:52 am

LOL, thank you. It might provide more information than I have given

8:53 am

I have one on a shepherd's hook right outside my window here, constant visitors

9:00 am

morning all

9:01 am

greetings, bonkler

9:01 am

back

9:01 am

birds can't perceive spicy so they don't care, but it deters mammals from eating it :)

9:05 am

so the 8s are de, en, and ...?

9:07 am

I'd say it is probably an S or a T...?

9:09 am

Ns Nailed!

9:09 am

so 8/40

9:10 am

70 to go.

9:12 am

looking... looking... looking...

9:13 am

You can also make your own hot pepper birdseed by stirring cayenne pepper into it. Do a Google search for the proportions.

64 here, made it to half on each tile except the two e's with 3 words. gotta go do some things. TTFN

9:13 am

Tee tee eff en

9:13 am

Thanks for the so8

no 8s and no 9 but I will try those later

9:14 am

I keep looking for solenoid, but there's no i.

9:14 am

is the so8 in combo with a 7?

9:14 am

i have the en 8 but not the others

9:14 am

no

I keep thinking solodeck. 1) not a word and 2) not in the grid

9:15 am

two major problems there.

9:15 am

Bea, one of my co-workers just gave me an obedient plant. : D

9:15 am

is the so8 a compound?

9:15 am

other than that, it's a wonderful idea

9:15 am

It does start like that, Carla

9:15 am

nope, it's a weird compound

thanks, harry

9:15 am

ruru, the de8 goes with de9, and they are normal words

thanks, bea. got it!

9:16 am

I love obedient plants. But they aren't really all that obedient. =)

9:16 am

gpt ot

9:16 am

got it that is

9:16 am

That is what the person who gave it to me said.

of course dictionary doesn't know so8

9:16 am

well i still can't find it

9:16 am

obedient plants?

well hursh it looks like a pl but there's no sing

and now you should know 5/8 letters

9:17 am

it's a salty soil - I'm sure mool will get it

9:17 am

phew, got it at last

9:18 am

his daughter probably has a sample in her desk.

9:19 am

To go with all the compounds

9:20 am

could use a clue for the de8

9:20 am

Obedient plant stems can be bent different directions. They are also called false dragon head because of the shape af the flowers. It spreads by rhizomes which makes it pretty disobedient.

9:20 am

being lonely bonkler

9:20 am

bob dylan song: de10 row

9:20 am

de8 is barren

9:20 am

the sahara is a de8 landscape

9:20 am

barren is a better clue

9:20 am

ty ty

9:21 am

Good clue Harry

9:21 am

bonkler was flooded with clues

9:21 am

excellent clues

9:21 am

so freaking helpful we are

9:21 am

It was a clue deluge

9:22 am

I'm looking for a song to sing to time my 20-second handwashing. Would "Desolation Row" do it?

9:22 am

you would use up all the water in your town. run your wells dry.

9:23 am

Hmmm....okay...I'll use S

9:23 am

Hmmm...okay...I'll use "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" instead then.

9:23 am

tones

9:23 am

heehee

9:23 am

GHGRHHRH....

9:23 am

Lone tennis court dividers

9:24 am

9:25 am

Would she even know who Bob Dylan is?

9:25 am

9:25 am

MollyL is an ACE at them.

9:25 am

But what about curling clues? Huh?

9:25 am

i have to do my taxes today ...

9:25 am

No, let's not get swept up in those.

9:25 am

It'll just make me feel stoned.

9:26 am

Enough of these back handed comments

9:26 am

I was dumbfounded theat they don't use brooms in curling anymore. Now they use swiffers.

9:26 am

Damn...I got served!

9:26 am

there's no love here for sports

9:26 am

Good one Bea : D

9:27 am

don't make a big bonspiel out of it

9:29 am

you know the chog has hit the rocks when the curling puns come out

9:31 am

it will be a big weight on the chat to not do so

9:31 am

60 for later. have fun everybody

9:32 am

Curling puns are the icing on the cake

9:36 am

truly.. especially coming from the rink and file

tonle ts

9:41 am

luv clues

yep, a freebie

9:42 am

ty Luv didn't have that one :)

glad to be of service :-)

9:44 am

Okay, I am laughing and laughing. I'm reading about curling. Curling players are not allowed to touch their stones. (I wonder if they are told it will make them go blind)

9:45 am

it will make them grow hair on their palms

9:46 am

That's why they wear gloves.

9:46 am

glove love

9:51 am

morning all

9:54 am

just read through the chog for all the fab curling puns... can't believe I missed the fun!

9:56 am

off for a bit --keep the puns coming, so I can amuse myself later, ;-)

9:56 am

It never ceases to amaze me what gets missed in this chat.

9:57 am

okay i admit it i enjoy watching curling and i found out recently that their is a wheelchair version of it too

9:58 am

those "stone" are not cheap either

10:00 am

Okay, the world has gone to hell. I just say this on Google: how much does a curling stone way?

10:01 am

you mean weigh dont you?

10:03 am

i dont see the price when i just googled it again, but i think they are 19.95 each

10:03 am

i might be wrong though

10:04 am

They have to be more than that.

10:05 am

$450.

10:06 am

yeah, they are very expensive

10:07 am

looks like a whole set of 16 costs about $12,000

10:08 am

I mean it actually said way and not weigh

10:08 am

hah, spelling is for the birds

10:09 am

i thought spicy birdseed was for the birds

10:09 am

My mind is still blown from a conversation I had with someone last week on the expense of owning a boat. Yee Gods.

10:10 am

Same way with horses...

10:11 am

Does anyone have the stat and clue for the 9? Ty.

10:11 am

Bet you didn't read through the chat did you. Been clued many times.

10:12 am

its de 8/9 and i need a clue as well

10:12 am

Didnt see it recently bea.

10:12 am

Oh, I bet there is a lot of expense in owning horses.

10:13 am

Clued at 9:20 ish

10:13 am

It is expensive to ride English.

10:14 am

One daughter did for years.

10:15 am

Found that clue. Not getting it yet. But ty.

10:15 am

i dont see it in chat at all can someone copy paste it pls?

10:16 am

your house is left to you de8

10:16 am

mkg what is the clue?

10:16 am

There were five or six clues given at the time.

10:16 am

Got the 8 and 9./ ty

10:16 am

At the top of the chat, next to the MY FRIENDS tab are two icons. The first looks like a speech bubble for a cartoon. That will hide the chat. The next is a square which will show the entire chat for the whole day

10:19 am

No wonder I didn't get Hurshy's clue. It is from the Bible. : D

10:24 am

The clue is: like a desert. There is nothing there. It is de******. Plural for the 9. Ends in opposite of early.

10:29 am

Thanks, I have the word. I just didn't understand Hurshy's clue because I am not familiar with that Bible verse.

10:32 am

good morning all :)

10:49 am

nan.. you missed a set of curling puns earlier.

10:50 am

oh? There was some really good competition at the worlds this year.

10:56 am

First run through completed -- time for breakfast. Back Later

11:22 am

Why can't you have more than one Hawiian goose?

11:23 am

You can - the Webster's example sentence implies that the singular and plural are the same.

11:24 am

sold

11:24 am

Hmmm ...

11:30 am

hi again

11:31 am

hawaiian goose but no gooses, North American deer and deers how does that make sense?

11:32 am

Exactly!

11:34 am

a curling pun sounds like an implement used in a hair salon.

11:35 am

that's a curling iron

11:37 am

have to say I saw all the de8/9 clues and can't think of the word. /me slow

11:37 am

didn't realise you needed styled hair to throw stones

11:37 am

either styled hair or living in a glass house.

11:38 am

back for last 61

11:38 am

adjective for wasteland hoke

11:39 am

can also be used as a descriptive word for feeling lonely and depressed

11:42 am

no hair at all needed to curl -- just a great deal of mental agility, physical skill and stamina

11:42 am

I imagine patience too?

11:43 am

and a warm coat.

11:43 am

and a broom

11:44 am

yes patience too and no coat required for anyone but the skip -- the other players are working too hard to need one

11:44 am

oh - and nerves of steel are good as well

11:44 am

30 to go

11:44 am

44

11:45 am

Curlers have big stones

11:47 am

40!

11:48 am

27

11:48 am

grrr

11:48 am

somehow restating the same clue didn't help me. off the thesaurus!

11:49 am

ah, why didn't someone mention Smaug?

11:49 am

it's on the front of a 6/7 combo?

11:49 am

oh yeah, my mistake

11:49 am

you can blame me...I told everyone not to mention smaug

11:50 am

he did.

11:50 am

de + sun + most of tardy

11:50 am

and no, that didn't even come up in thesaurus, it just came to me while I was trying to make desert, which did come up

11:50 am

hardy har

11:50 am

I would have mentioned smaug.

11:50 am

thanks, harry

11:50 am

who is smaug? oh - it's a hobbit thing. never mind.

11:51 am

yes, and there's a certain d10 of him

11:51 am

the 2nd hobbit movie (I think) is called The De* of Smaug.

11:51 am

led zeppelin and such.

11:52 am

did you find it carla?

11:52 am

did y'all see Amazon is making a LOTR show, and season 1 is going to cost like $465M. I think that's USD, not NZ.

11:53 am

I think I vaguely had heard of it, but have not been following it

11:54 am

I just heard about it the other day when that news came out. Not sure what else they can do that wasn't in the movies except the ending of the book, which was left out.

11:54 am

yes, nan, thx. I have been talking about it. :D

11:55 am

I thought originally it was going to be some of the tales from before the story

11:55 am

30!

11:55 am

17

11:55 am

oh - didn't know that was what all the hobbit talk was about

11:55 am

59!

11:55 am

darn.

11:56 am

this is a lovely grid though.

11:56 am

not bad so far

11:57 am

guess I need to buckle down

11:57 am

though I have a mess of 6s and 7s to go.

11:57 am

only 14/59 4's, that isn't good

11:57 am

4x4, 6x5, 2x6, 3x7 and 1x8 to go

11:58 am

11x6 and 8x7

11:58 am

12:11 pm

12:11 pm

oh yes - ty - we have had that one before

12:11 pm

there's also "to put a countenance on"

12:11 pm

and to surround

12:11 pm

not envelop

12:11 pm

of to embrace I guess would be better

12:12 pm

of=or

12:12 pm

and not enclose

12:13 pm

nor encircle

12:13 pm

oh, phone call

12:13 pm

no enface either

12:13 pm

yes, less common, but you're on the right track

12:14 pm

pb for you nan

12:14 pm

Something is definitely wrong with the way this game is interfacing with users. I had it tell me three times this morning that eaten was not found in the dictionary.

12:15 pm

found the embrace one

12:16 pm

yeah, happened to me yesterday or the day before. I thought people were just typing wrong before but I know I did it right.

12:16 pm

you typed another one in chat

12:16 pm

ty mool

12:16 pm

12:26 pm

52 here - friend still talking

12:26 pm

12:26 pm

What, you are just letting her bang on while you play?

12:27 pm

ty mool

12:27 pm

yw

12:28 pm

I have a fo6/7 combo but I guess the other fo6 must be my last one

12:28 pm

lol -- I have a friend like that -- can't get a word in edgewise anyway, so I just carry on with other things while she talks :)

12:28 pm

I'm answering every so often, molly

12:28 pm

three is an fo6 that is an alternate spelling

12:28 pm

all that is required is the occasional oh, mmmph or really?

12:29 pm

she likes to talk while driving and just got to her location. she is ranting (very legit rants too) about her daughter getting screwed on playing time.

12:29 pm

thanks, moo. british strike again!

12:30 pm

now just need 2 O's in 4th col to gray that or 2 A's in top row to gray that.

12:30 pm

12:30 pm

found the o's

12:30 pm

4th col gray!

12:31 pm

it's like a vitamin, nan. I think pregnant women take it.

12:31 pm

nice

12:31 pm

oh heavens - no idea what pregnant women take nowadays -- it's been 50 years!

12:32 pm

Really, it's been 40 years for me and I still remember that one

12:32 pm

ooh, found a word

12:33 pm

we just took prenatal vitamins

12:33 pm

And this was in them, I'm sure

12:33 pm

I remember taking iron. That caused constipation

12:33 pm

I'm surprised you took prenatal vitamins. will have to ask my mom if she did.

12:34 pm

nan, usually it's a 2 word phrase with the f word sounding like an adj. and followe.d by acid

12:34 pm

Didn't all women?

12:34 pm

no - that was my kids --- think all we were told to do was drink lots of milk, no booze, extra iron and lots of fresh veggies

12:35 pm

moo, any guesses on my upper 2 A's?

12:35 pm

I have the british ones

12:35 pm

I have two left on that a

12:35 pm

I think we were even allowed wine and beer -- just no hard liquor

12:35 pm

how many you have left?

12:35 pm

2 there, 3 on bottom A

12:35 pm

49 total

12:35 pm

I have all the bottom ones

12:36 pm

Prenatal vitamins were introduced in the 70's

12:36 pm

they're all short off the bottom...5 letter max

12:36 pm

I have no idea on the fo 6-7, carla -- way after my time

12:36 pm

ok, think not early

12:36 pm

nm - monkeyed them

12:37 pm

ty anyway

12:37 pm

found an A!

12:37 pm

found the rest on the bottom

12:39 pm

12:41 pm

ha! just found a T that usually outwits me

12:44 pm

don't follow tennis

12:44 pm

well surely this was super big worldwide news when it happened

12:46 pm

what's tennis?

12:46 pm

as I said - don't follow tennis, so wouldn't have bothered --- just watch curling and golf

12:46 pm

sports news is usally all football, so never watch it

12:47 pm

LOL moo

12:48 pm

I'm just going to pretend nan is trolling me

12:48 pm

that makes it better

12:48 pm

woo...another word

12:48 pm

9 to go

12:48 pm

AA P TT SSS S

12:48 pm

34 here.

12:49 pm

not everyone is a sports fan, carla

12:49 pm

I also need 1 P

12:49 pm

but 4 T's and 5 + 2 S

12:49 pm

I haven't even watched hockey much since the league expanded beyond the original 6

12:50 pm

yeah, I guess curling isn't sports 😜

12:50 pm

I guess I'll have to wait for Molly to award the dings

12:51 pm

not biting - everyone here knows I love curling and tolerate golf

12:53 pm

finished the other F!

12:53 pm

fulfilling!

12:53 pm

so

12:54 pm

can't find 2 L's

12:55 pm

there's one

12:55 pm

Seles

12:55 pm

ding ding ding!

12:55 pm

thank you, molly

12:55 pm

And that stabbing made national and international news

12:56 pm

never the same after that. could have been the best ever (before serena of course).

12:57 pm

and it happened in Germany

12:58 pm

seles?

12:58 pm

oh, I forgot I still needed 2 E's

12:58 pm

moo, you already missed the dings

12:59 pm

oh yeah...:)

12:59 pm

I see that now...sorry on a call so was not paying as much attention

1:00 pm

ooh, another word

1:00 pm

and another!

1:00 pm

so 8 please?

what were those e's again? I found the one like an embrace

wow, you're on a roll, moo

1:01 pm

to give something a countenance

hmm, thought I tried that earlier, thx

1:03 pm

yw

1:03 pm

AA P T SS S

wow, I still need 7 N's from the middle

1:03 pm

they're mostly regular words

found some bright ones

1:04 pm

enlightening

when you say "mostly regular" does that mean there are 5 that aren't regular ;P

1:06 pm

well all of them occur in babble to varying degrees

1:06 pm

so not new odd

1:06 pm

there's probably 4-5 total n words that aren't common words

lack 1 from the other N too

of course it was a very regular anatomy word

1:08 pm

assume you have the december time one, and the sillyish plural

1:08 pm

back. 28 to go

26 here Harry but slow

1:08 pm

7 to go

I do have Dec one. have one sillyish plural but only because the sing. is also sillyish.

have seen my kids desole many a soccer cleat, not sure why that's not a word.

1:10 pm

pl of the xmas?

1:10 pm

and you can't have tenpacks

probably gonna have to save the N for the list.

AA CCC P DDD Nx5 Tx4 L Sx5 SS

so many remain

found 2 S's. feel like I did those this morning

found an N!

1:13 pm

only n's that aren't normal ar the ne 6 pt of a noun, the ne 5 that sounds like a running shoe, and the no 4(s) that sound like a string tie

forgot that pt, thx. not sure if I have the rest of those or not.

1:14 pm

oh, thought that's what you meant when you became enlightened

1:15 pm

* ne 5 sounds like it should be a running shoe - not rhyming

1:16 pm

that is my missing N

well, I found 2/3 of the bright gas words, moo

1:16 pm

so 8 please?

1:16 pm

ah

1:16 pm

got it.

1:16 pm

I always though that word sounded like a tech dept employee.

looks compound nan, only one + things pucks go in hopefully

what's the point total, harry?

1:17 pm

ah, didn't have that one...tx hoke

1:17 pm

12

That cow in the upper left corner is mocking me.

2:23 pm

Saint Penquis of The Lobstermen. Blessed art thou of the butter and lemon.

2:25 pm

Thanks very much! Bless you, my child.... ;o)

2:33 pm

hello all........beautiful sunny day in Nashville....and I still stink at this game :) day 5

2:34 pm

ni sophie...

2:35 pm

Hi Sophie. A lot of us having been playing for years, so don't get discouraged. You'll improve, probably faster than you think.

2:42 pm

i've been playing for fifteen and a half years. With some gaps in there.

2:45 pm

It does get easier as you play more.

3:07 pm

I have been playing over 16 years

3:08 pm

help with de8/9 please hello all

3:09 pm

a feeling of hopelessness.....ends with consumed....

3:09 pm

devastated...

3:09 pm

tyty pen

3:09 pm

yw...

3:13 pm

stuck at 25 left....listing may be in my immediate future... ;o|

3:13 pm

Is there an ST7 or KE7 and if so clue please?

3:14 pm

No k7....have all the Ks.....dk about st 7....

3:14 pm

Also I have a DE8 and an EN 8 -- what's the third one?

so

3:15 pm

just found an ST 7/28....

there is a KE7

3:15 pm

oh yes, do have a KE 7...sorry....

and my so comment means there is an SO8

3:16 pm

i am missing the third 8...

3:16 pm

so8?

3:17 pm

oh, just seeing hoke's comment :)

I'm back for my last 6

3:17 pm

me too

but I have a list and you don't :P

3:18 pm

found the st

still struggling with 3 N's though. I have to focus.

3:18 pm

is there an so 8?

3:18 pm

yes

there might be

3:19 pm

4 to go

3:19 pm

ty...

3:20 pm

anyone have a clue for that KE7 or the ST7?

3:20 pm

the KE is a superlative....the ST seems to extend an ST 5 word...

3:20 pm

ke...you'd have to be really eager to find it

3:21 pm

the st...add two letters to a 5

3:21 pm

pen beat me to it

3:21 pm

I missed that superlative ending, thanks!

3:22 pm

it's the best

3:22 pm

:)

wow, missed a candy company or what the children were the night before christmas

3:25 pm

hungry?

how they were in their beds

3:25 pm

snug

now just that stupid P, an S, and a T

3:26 pm

I have stupid Ax2

3:26 pm

but do have stupid P and S also

3:27 pm

nm, found stupid Ax2

3:27 pm

I know 28% of the word for the P :)

I swear I tried monkeying the A earlier and it didn't take. and molly said the P was stupid. but I will add the A is too , though bea may disagree.

polo

duh, I'm the stupid one with the S. we have it all the time

3:28 pm

was it the left s?

yes

3:29 pm

was it a 6?

not sure what it means but there's a town in SC I've been to several times.

yes

3:29 pm

nm, found it

3:29 pm

need to remember those finger lakes

now T7 and P7.

3:30 pm

P7 for me...can clue the T7 if you like

3:30 pm

providing you tell me which two you have

I reckon i need it, sure.

3:30 pm

I'm guessing you have the pt and the plural

I need the big points one

3:31 pm

which would mean you need to think about the 6's you have

3:31 pm

those statements go together, in case you were wondering

no 6's around this one though

3:32 pm

no, not remotely near it :)

3:32 pm

at least in the list...on the board it is :)

3:33 pm

if that's too obscure, let me know

it was, but I eventually saw it in spite of your clues ;P

3:35 pm

I live to make life difficult for everyone :)

lol, well done

3:36 pm

I also live for the undeserved praise

3:37 pm

so we're both left with the stupid p7

now if we can find a stupid P

3:37 pm

do you need a clue for the Po 7?...

great minds think alike

3:38 pm

us too apparently

how stupid is it, pen?

3:38 pm

is that a yes?.....the word usually ends in a Y.....

3:38 pm

i actually guessed it at the flip....

3:38 pm

the PO7 is a strong word

3:39 pm

It's getting down to 18 degrees tonight...3-5 inches of snow

hmm, must end in ee, but not seeing how to make the points work. never fear, not giving up yet.

3:39 pm

in case you were wondering

that's just wrong, moo

3:40 pm

It's my fault, I planted some things just over a week ago

45 here tonight so we'll probably have to turn the heat on

3:40 pm

no...ends in one vowel where a Y would normally be....

3:40 pm

po7? clue please?

3:40 pm

It's currently 32 with a wintry mix

well that sounds stupid, pen

70 and fair here according to my watch

3:40 pm

as Joy said...it's a strong word...

I went out for a walk in a hoodie and long pants and that was too much

3:41 pm

I put the bins out...that was enough

3:41 pm

it's 60 here...

3:42 pm

going to have to cover all the plants up again

finally found the P!

3:43 pm

woot

shirlock, something has a po7 (ending in y) means how strong it is, like a poison

3:44 pm

oh boy...thx

3:44 pm

that seems so more reasonable than the words I was trying

3:44 pm

got it, thx hokie

yw, shirl. sorry if I spoiled it, moo.

joy's and pen's clues are much more understandable now.

3:46 pm

oh, that's okay...was done with this board

yep, should get on with other things. still haven't started the quilting of my April quilt

I will add I tried tendence several times throughout the day (which isn't even in the grid).

3:47 pm

was trying to be subtle in my cluing....

I'm just really slow sometimes

3:48 pm

no problem...

3:48 pm

I've got more than 200 words and I'm going to list. I'll be the one tilted to one side.

3:49 pm

I appreciate that pen

3:51 pm

thought you might... ;o)

3:59 pm

The words you killed yourself looking for become so obvious once you list.

4:00 pm

often too true....

4:00 pm

and then there are the words i would never hvve gotten without the context of the list...

4:02 pm

and then there are the words i can't find in spite of the context of the list.... ;o)

4:07 pm

i am finding that i missed some singulars and some plurals....i think it's because i found most of my words at the flip...

4:18 pm

I often miss plurals when I see the word going a different way through the grid (not ending by an 'S', for instance).

4:19 pm

i have that problem more when I start at the flip because then I am just going as fast as i can looking for the long words....

4:20 pm

Yes, me too. Also, I'm convinced that it does sometimes lose the odd word.

4:20 pm

yes, i have lost words before...

4:25 pm

Tx for the po7....

4:25 pm

yw....not much of a clue...

4:27 pm

I am done...

4:29 pm

heading out to make dinner....goodnight all...

4:36 pm

Oh those alternate spellings.

4:42 pm

Yes, I could kick myself for not seeing ap6/ap7

4:43 pm

Oh yes that one was irritating

4:44 pm

there's an FO that took me forever for the same reason

4:49 pm

Done now - goodbye everyone

4:50 pm

bye gillie

4:54 pm

and that's fireworks! See y'all later and good luck!
