another de
ty ursh
de7/36 and de7/48
ty ursh
got it!
Or6/21 clue please?
work place, with diff. double letters
Tx! Just one word to go now.....
Go Une, go.
Fw!!
Yay!
Nice!
tough little grid, this
Yes.
the 10 was fun to find, tho
Clue please?
remember the Arlo Guthrie song "city of New Orleans"?
Somewhat.
its about the 8 and 10
Choo-choo
TY, that got me a few words.
Well, I passed halfway and the office beckons now.
have a great day!
Love that song! "Riding on the City of New Orleans, Illinois Central, Monday morning rail Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail..."
and that got me the ra 8 and 10
sing it!
When it comes to Steve Goodman compositions, I'm more into "Lincoln Park Pirates" [personally happened to me!] and "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request." Sadly, none of those will help me with this puzzle.
I love Steve Goodman, but it took Arlo to make this song its best.
Ill have to look into those, Dauber
"Do they still play the blues in Chicago, when spring time finally rolls around...when the snow melts away, do the Cubbies still play in their ivy-covered burial ground.. Great song!
"Vegematic" always makes me laugh
did that get National airplay, or just in the Chicago area/don't think I've heard it
I've definitely heard both "Lincoln Park Pirates" and "A Dying Cubs Fan's Last Request" on Dr. Demento.
"I am my Own Grandpa" is also well done.
YouTube has clips for all of these Goodman song if anyone is interested.
I have not listed to Dr. Demento in years! Does it still play late night on Q 107?
No, he left terrestrial radio around 2007-ish, after WLUP in Chicago dumped his show. He decided that was a sign to quit radio. He does it online now.
defoosly
CRAP...sorry!
Ooh....fw!
Loved Dr. Demento
I still show my students "I'm a raccoon" every year
and sometimes "fish heads" but that's pretty disturbing
eat them up, yum
found an 8!
nice
Cs are tough. otherwise a nice grid
20 to go
I was playing at the flip but was too sleepy to see any and now I can't even remember what they are.
27 here
is the de 8 legalese?
I really want chill
could be igh - I don't really know what it means.
or a churro iwth my coffee
yes, after a fashion, it has to do with ownership rights
thx
I don't know, but freep found all the big words pretty quickly so I assumed they were fairly normal. that is a mistake to assume with the flip people though.
those flip ppl live on a different plane
Ick! Small and treacherous.
I already finished the A though, bea
yes me too! the A was nice!
found an 8!
Just starting. looking at the first
D
only have 2 of the upper C. eek
got all the 7s
need 1 7
fw
well done!
wtg amelu!
middle row gray!
ohh I got the 8 and the 10, nice
thanks, this one was a bear. A
14 to go. is it an 8/10 mael?
21 here
it is, compound word and pt
Anyone need a hint? carla, the 7s are 2 x de, 1 x ly
got them! ty
oh, I got the other 8 too. Need one more 7, hmm
11 to go.
but if I have 2 D's left, aren't they the de8/10? I have de7 and ly7
I have 2 Ds as well
no, the 8/10 is ra
2 x de7
2 x de7
and I have all the 7 8 9 10
well not 9.
I have a de7/8 set, so the 10 is related to that?
it's probably the 7 stand alone 7/36
confused because the 8 is already past tense
no, it's a separate coupling
ra8 and ra10
there's a de7 and 8 but that's a whole other thing
ah, thanks mael and ame.
yvw
Aw, Luther Vandross would have been 70 today. Happy Birthday Luther, we miss you.
well that was easy for the 8/10 once I had the right starting letters ;)
wow, we are old
I have no idea who that is, alas
that's because you are not old. and now I feel even older. alas.
he was an R&B singer in the 80s/90sish who had a velvety smooth voice and died early due to diabetes IIRC
hell, I'm turning 36 on Thursday, feels old these days. All my gray hair comes from my kids, haha
Wow, it astounds me when someone says something like that.
happy birthday mael. a perfect square!
all my gray hair has sprung up during this pandemic
sometimes it's because I'm younger and sometimes it's because I didn't grow up in the US. I have no idea who any of the boys bands my peers loved are either haha
Frank Sinatra, Glen MIller and Tommy Dorsey were way before my time, but I know who they were.
thank you harry!
oh, he's the google doodle, molly
yes, an early HBD
Yep, that is how I knew it was his birthday.
mael, go click the google doodle and you'll hear him

racialy
on the right track, msr
Sorry and thanks I just got it!
that upper C is terrible, I only have 3 words from it
ok, had one ch5, found another, not seeing how to make either a 6, so wondering if they are even related
yeah, I have 3 now from it too
ce 5/12 and 6/21
yeah, I can't find the 6 either
oh, a past tense backward, so now I have 4
oh a ce5/16
the ch6 has a diff. last vowel
forgot about those ce's, thanks
I still can't see the ch6, this is bad
or6/21, please?
me either, tried all vowels, but maybe he didn't mean it ended in a vowel, just the last one in the word was different
or- place of work with diff double letters
or plus common staple food
got that one at least!
for the ch6, think of something gone Vi---
got the ch6, now working on that ra6
got it! ends in a consonant
got the R, 9 left!

Of course you can.
oh man, found the last C! uit's clouds

I keep trying cloud related things for C. guess I'm on the right track.
I have repressed that time in my life, hokie
yep
my boys used to love that show
they also loved dora the explorer, which I still break into songs from that occasionally.
unexpected word for my last L - 5 left!
oh no, that was just for the left L, still 2 on the other
the babblets went fast once I realized that's all I was missing! now I'm down to one s4 hmm

3 left here, 2 A and an R
all normal words.

yes that was the R thanks!
the a's are all normal or babblet
as in I think just one A babblet, the rest are normal words
ha, i had seen those a before but didn't put them in cause i was on C
You literally will not allow yourself to enter a word you see because you are working on another letter tile?
good morning to you all!!
molly, if i think it's one i will forget to enter later, i put it in, but if i think i'll remember or re-see it, i don't
My problem is if I see it, my brain thinks I have entered it. So if I don't, then later I will try it and think "I thought I got that one".
i don't like these small grids, so many weird words IMHO, i like grids around 200-300
I'm with you Shirlock...
Whats the de8!!
caly
PT of DE 7/48
morning all
Hello, Mool.
hey zoo, happy Tuesday
And to you too!
a hint for the DE 7/8
if you have the 5/6, add de :)
To eject by violence say.
Or DE + a power exerted on an object.
10 to go
And fireworks for me. Happy babbling everyone!
thanks got it! i am slow today!
CE 6?
there's a ce6 which is a plural
it's an odd word
hmm. the only 5 I have doesn't appear to have a plural unless it's something weird.
yeah, it's weird
perhaps welsh or gaelic
oh duh i got it. was thinking past tense not plural!
nice
nice that you got it that is :)
4 left here...might step away for a bit
name that proper noun - actress who starred in the first season of the Crown.

OOooooh! Excellent!
or this vacation....or whenever.....
that's me turned into a pumpkin. Pray my attempts to channel dad meet with success!
Do it for you, not him.
I just want him to watch over me, and help me get it right
He is, but you are putting too much pressure on yourself for it to be perfect. Its the first time you've made a fence. Be patient with the process and yourself.
He is always watching over us.
another shooting in west hempstead on long island
:( I can't stand this.
Prayers being lifted.
cna i please have a clue for lo 4/7
nevermind
fo 5/18, pls
any clues for the de7's and de8?
fo5/18 - to put someone under pressure to do something.
I have one word left which is de7/36
Kevin, the de7 and 8 use the word clued for bichon.
thanks i got those
de7/36 - stems from de5/18.
those were clued for me? Didn't get them
Hello bichon, I clued fo5/18 for you.
That word then occurs within de7/48 and de8/70.
ty Haz
You're welcome.
haz!
I am really stuck on this de7/36
It's the noun form of de5/18.
The last four letters form part of what happens to people in court beginning with t.
TO, nearly missed you there, was in the kitchen. How are you?
i am well, and you? and i thought the de5/18 needs an s?
ah, they are two different words. what an educational game.
I'm fine. I had a lovely walk in woodland alongside a river today, the birdsong was delightful and I spotted the first bluebells of the season.
sounds lovely. i ran errands and did some raking. i am just trying to tell myslef the salad i had for lunch is enough food.
Haz, we're doing that this afternoon
my goupr, whom i have not seem in over a year, hiked over 5 miles on saturday/ the ascent was so steep i wa gasping.
so i have resolved to drive to the hilly part of the local trail today and walk a couple.
I can walk happily on the flat, not so happy on hills either.
bichon, it was just lovely, I stopped a couple of times just to listen to the birds.
yes. doing yard chores is showing just how out of shape i am, since no gym
yes, it's an exlposion of birdsong last couple of days.
The 13 y.o. dog is bounding up the steep and I'm huffing and puffing
lol bich
Hi all. Clue for ly7, please?
musical
ty, bichon :-). Was so sure I had tried that
yvw
A's abolished!
Thanks so much Haz, I am finally done! And for the first time!
Oh well done!
I's i4/5
Congrats, Kevin
C's conquered
haz, are you still here?
Has anyone clued the de 7/48?
Yes, still here, TO.
i am debating the odds that travel to france will be possible in october
local group is going.
de7/48 was clued at 11.23.
It probably depends on their vaccination programme speeding up, TO. Would you be keen to go?
there are other places i'd rather. if going over, would love to spend a month.
to see more.
i saw a headline suggesting that the vaccine problem in the US is shifting from limited supply to limited demand. and i said, well send 'em to poor countries that are willing to take it then!
haz, i have to go. nice to see you.
stqy well
I couldn't really advise you one way or another, but I would be cautious in making long haul plans.
You too.
I need to head off as well. Happy babbling!
good morning/afternoon everyone

TY GOT IT
RA 6
sorry, don't have it yet...
In a sexy or seductive way
it's an adverb...
i am done...
heading out the Spelling Bee....bye all....
DE5/18........I don't really understand what she's asking for....I mean, I know she wants a clue, but what does it mean DE 5/18? sorry to be so dense
A five letter word starting with DE that is worth 18 points
It is based on Lickety's Babble Clues that you will find a link to at the bottom of the grid
Molly thank you so much!
It is not being dense. There needs to be a detailed explanation of this game that the HELP section does not provide.
thanks Molly. i had the word on the tip of my tongue no pun intended!
FIREWORXXX!
Afternoon all
Any clues for the do 5/16 please?
... sound like the name of an Irish pub .... or almost like a female childs toy
Sophie, you still here? Do you know how the point values work? Not sure I've seen that explained to you, but it could have been.
Hang down your head Tom Do5
Yep, I explained it to her right after she asked
sorry I missed it, just saw that you said it was from lickety's list but not that 5's are divided by 2, etc
Hi. Back from chiropractor. Now I need to figure out how to transfer a word I find on lickety to the puzzle on Babble. That can be your next job, Molly! :)
I do it the other way, I enter them here and then transfer to lickety
anyone need a hint for ch5/14.....see the kind of dr I just visited....I'm so excited.....my first hint for others
Enter your words here. Copy your word list and then paste it into the BULK/ADD section of Lickety at the bottom. All the words will populate Lickety's List
uuuuuuu......coooooool
only 18 words left.......be still, my beating heart :)
you can do it!
de 7/48, pls
These are my last two words
what de police are part of

goat......c plus what letter is next?
Okay wow, we have one excited new player here
I can't believe that no one used Monopoly to clue the 9/10. Monopoly really is dead.
O clues?
or6 ends in asian staple
I've been playing on and off for years, just usually not in chat
I got those c words, I'm missing different ones. Thanks, though, Molly.
I used to play alot of monopoly. I can't stand it now - I tried to play with my kids - it was torture.
but that makes sense, since being in Atlantic City in real life is torturous as well.
it was meant to be torturous, and to illustrate the evils of capitalism.
and handily, it includes universal basic income :-)
phantom fedora
sounds like a film noir title
Oh wow, I mentioned an innocent board game and we have gravitated to the evils of capitalism.
firewords! thanks lickety and Molly and all cluers
