i am having huge issues here.
I am
i have emailed dr god.
this is first time chat has appeared but my word list seems to stay put
Apparently a big outage in the Chicago area
Apparently a big outage in the Chicago area
Clues are up
tks lickety
jama
clues are up
what a mess...now it's saying "less than one minute less"
are we up and running now?
aha...cooee with heart felt relief. i have emailed lickety to ask him to try and post the list again.
seems ok now
Rats....all the words I entered are gone :-(
whew there are a lot of A's
ai 7, ja 7
Gi7
ni7
missing a words x 4. shall i li4 what i have in the hope someone can reduce this for me?
Lickety is working fine here
aha. he must have tried again when i emailed him. thanx lizgirl. xx
No worries :)
HASM
SIRA
SHIRA
Rebooted but still seeing lickety from Saturday, not Sunday
Une refresh Lickety
Okay, I'm calling it. The bottom row N will be the most asked for c lue of the day. And no, that is not a clue request, I have it. : D
but Molly, surely everyone has one in their back yard....loll
Oooh look! There goes one right now!
ttfn. hope everyone enjoys the grid. after the teething issues, it was smooth sailing.
just got a sw 6/45 thanks to morewords
Have a good evening
lol....lizgirl.....are you sure that's not a whale??
Not the season yet
*giggle* xx
I don't have anything from that bottom N. Anyone care to give me stats, at least, please :)
an indian antelope and pl
Wikipedia to the rescue - thanks!
Thanks
yw
Tx!
FWs
Hmmm...may I please have stats for the O and for the i (eye) in the second column, third row?
Os4
Il4
Thank you!
Yw. Time for dinner. Enjoy your days.
I could have sworn I'd tried that i. Thanks again!
without Lickety I would give up on this grid!
even with, took me 10 minutes to get the sa-6/45
sw i meant
That sw6 is going to be right up there with the bottom B for most asked for clue. No wonder this grid had a hard time loading. It was a protest from the Word Gods.
Bottom N
are you asking for a clue, Molly?
oops, I should have read your earlier chat closer
Nope. I don't ask for clues. I like to find the words on my own.
st
jil n
Sorry
yeah, no way would I have gotten that bottom N without a clue
there's a limit to how many obscure words I can retain and ni6 is not one of them
I guess I found the sw6/45 based on point count alone
I wonder how people find words like that without the point count/list. I guess endless trying of ridiculous combinations
I didn't think the sw6 was that obscure.
I guess not if you are familiar with Indian words. I am not.
Ghandi used the term frequently.
That is the kind of word that gets Nan's fur up : D I didn't hear Ghandi much. Maybe that is why I don't know it.
People say fatwa is not obscure because it was used about Salman Rushdie. But I guess I wasn't following that news much either because I didn't know it until Babble.
Ni 6 clue pls?
molly the ni6 has something to do with a backyard is that right?
ori a backyard?
It was clued at 3:53.
hi bzz
mlf--ni= empty + alternate spelling of a non-straight person
ty bzz found the clue and used google and now i have it
nbt nbs
I googled too. :)
ðŸ‘
I would never have found that crazy animal Thanks!
agreed
motherowl your pic i so cute
Thanks! I love owls.
i do too
*hoot*hoot* There are barred owls in the woods here that talk to each other. I love them.
Welcome to Babble, MotherOwl! You must be the same MotherOwl from the A to Z Blog Challenge?
hi scrab
hi vicuna
Lucky you! Thank you ... And yes I am
Welcome, MotherOwl. I think you are our first Dane member.
Hello, MLFAN, Scrabbler, et al.
a to z blog challenge?
I am waking up and diving into the grid.
You're the reason I'm here Vicuna ;)
Yeah, 26 blog post, A - Z, through the month of April. MotherOwl and I both participate. http://www.a-to-zchalleng\ne.com
Ha, what fun. I'm an Influencer now! lol
good job vicuna!
A recruiter.
And what fun that I am here at the same time as you so I can greet you. =)
Hehe. You've got to try something new now and then.
Oof, if
vicuna too bad its not a bigger grid huh?
Oof, under that logic I should probably *stop* playing Babble one of these days.
Yes that's fun. It's afternoon my place now.
Oh, no reaston to stop, just add new things ;)
Nah, MLF, I know I'm in a minority, but I like this size. I don't want to spend all day on it.
I actually completed the grid yesterday. Heavily leaning on your clues and a word list - and pure guesswork. And agree smalle is better
Congratulations!
Thanks
Good for you, MotherOwl!
vicuna this size is iffy sometimes though
in 6 clue pls?
Yeah, but no matter how hard the words are, there's a limit to how bad it can be with only 150 of them.
in6 - asking you to a party
good or bad but thats true too
ty vicuna
I passed halfway so I am done. Enjoy the day.
Tgans same toi you
Goodbye, Scrabbler. I suppose I may wander off now, as well.
bye scrab
bye vicuna
The garden is callin me ;)
have fun motherowl
Feeling useful more than fun digging weeds, But Thanks and good luck.
Thanks:)

Clue for ar6 please?
lk - maybe it will come to mind eventually. that financial clue didn't ring any bells for me

i do like grandmother's houses in snowstorms

what the dallas cowboys call their owner

you're right.. they know more about nigeria currency and madagascar obscure animals
i'm an NFL owner but i don't pay attention to other teams lol
ja 6 has a double cons?
yes, think of sa*** McLachlan and make it like that but with double cons

Boy acting a bit like a female say?

ty zooz

well i am having trouble finding it so ..
the bit under your arm + the thing you cut wood with
if you find it pleas help me?
pi 6 is a compound
it's a little tool to cut apricot seeds in half :D
no scratch that i want to reclue
the ____ of Despair + the thing you cut wood with
never miss a chance to give a Princess Bride clue
nice Princess Bride reference!
:)
that was my last P, would have never tried that, thanks
ty all for the clues
agreed hokie me either
ruru, why would people want to cut apricot seeds in half? do you have to do that to get them to germinate or something?
and do apricots have those? I only associate them with peaches.
wait, are apricots just the non fuzzy peaches?
i once wrote a song called "Dining Hall Blues" sometimes when i go to the dining hall well i think to myself, there's just no food at all at least none that i would wanna eat i need something really juicy and sweet i want a peach!
no hokie the non fuzzy peaches are nectarines
oh yeah. LOL
you sound like gollum hursh :D
I love a good fresh peach.
me too but one can hardly ever find them, most ones in the store are rock hard and often they simply never soften. they'll rot before they'll soften. :(
woot, i finally greyed one of the A tiles!
Hi all. I still need clues and stats for the N tile. Please send help. Ty.
yeah, those are the worst. luckily I live close to SC, which is the peach capital of the US, so every once in a while I drive to get a basket or if I see a fruit stand on the way to the beach I stop.
none + what does it profit a man if he ***ns the whole world but loses his soul?
i bought california peaches yesterday
(that's N clue)
i thought georgia was the peach capital
me too
wow, would have never ever gotten those, thanks, hurshy
it's actually not!
more peaches come from SC
GA just names all their streets with the word peach in them
posers
Hurshy how many letters in the N word? I am not getting the clue.
that true and hotels
ni6, plural for 7
and here's a link https://tinyurl.com/ast6r83n
actually, per the link, CA is by far the biggest.
but SC is much, much closer to me :
Gosh still dont get the ni 6. I think i have the first part: but not the second. Dont know that phrase.
mkg, I thought her asterisk part of the clue was owns, but think of the word that's opposite of loses/loss
ni 6+ nothing + profit minus last letter
Think of biden's new tax for the last ;art - capital ****
somewhat stuck here at 46 left. going to walk Winston. TTFN
yeah i've read that CA supplies like 90-something percent of the US's produce
if i'm remembering that correctly
hello friends. is the top o fishy? just can't see it
just a babblet, os4
not fishy, OS4/4
hmmmm
oh yeah, there it is. sometimes they hide....
last word very very weird, sw6/45
YIKES! Enable allows the ji4???? Don't think I have seen that before.
huzzah for hurshy!
hurshy clue it pls>'?
Hi Trif!
hello mlf! Nice to "see" you!
it's related to british rule in india so it ends with 3 letters that you would associate with indian rulers
same to you Trif
got it ty hurshy
okay, I LOVE my students, but......jeesh. they are blowing up my inbox today, trying to submit assignments for credit. We have been on April vacation for a WEEK, grades closed 10 days ago, report cards are already done. Let it go, kids, the grade you have is what you have.
That is insane Trif
the kids are one thing - the angry parent emails are about to be another.
Why wouldn't Enable allow ji4? It's a word. And I have seen it before.
haha i just tried "dyealog" for spelling bee cause i'm not seeing the pangram yet. i find that trying wrong things helps me eventually get it.
get over it stupid parents! But at least the kids did extra work . who knows how many were forced to by the parents though
Dyealog: a coversation between two hair coloring stylists
what word are you looking for hurshy?
not babble, mlf, the NY Times' Spelling Bee puzzle
I am sure you have, Molly
lol ohh
dyealog: people who make colorful dead trees
I have only recently discovered the spelling bee - delightful diversion!
it's not "yodelage" either
Sorry you haven't, Trif.
hurshy are you doing it online or the in the actual paper by writing that is
online
it's also not "egolady"
ooooh, BURN. seems someone can't quite take receiving what she dishes out all day.
w wrangled
