Just noticed - no Lickety. Checked - his list has an extra word. I've emailed him to let him know. If you work out what it is, please let me know and I'll email him, so he can correct it.
zo 7

lizlin - looks like lickety has 10 f's, to babble's 9.
Thanks Q - I'll let him know
it's the 8 letter one (lickety has nine 8 letter words, to babble's eight)
Thanks :)
I haven't looked, but there SHOULD be an f8. I mean, it's a word....
I tried that and just accepted that babble didn't like it.
Enable is such a weird word list anyway!
That's what I told my kids when they were babies, too. "Sorry. Can't give you one of those. It's not a real thing." Went well!
It's only 3.38 pm here, so Lickety probably won't get to the list until after he gets home from work.
assuming the g is a gn, but not finding it
and there it is
cyber- doesn't that just make ya snap your teeth?
nbt, nbs and good night :)
Sleep well
have all the Fs - fe 8 is the extra word
I've let Lickety know
I am in the grid as well. Also extra.
You get the crown ;)
I will be a benevolent crown-wearer. I will decree F8 a word! And everyone gets a pony
Clues are up
licketey did you see that your list has 1 more than the babble list?
or so someone below was saying...
help with top O pls hi all
nm
May I have stats for that top O please?

Hi Bea and Leona.
Good morning, Scrabs.
Yes, it is good.

No clue what that was about...sorry!
No harm.
Twisty words today.
I might as well work on re- words.
Morning all!
Hello, IG.
Hi IG
I need to warm up
just noticed the Gerund- fun grid!
It's been cold, rainy and windy since Saturday
We had that on Friday and have warmed up since then.
Brought back the fleece top and sweatpants
Yes. We were in the low 40s on Friday. It was miserable.
Of course we didn't turn on the heat
I increased the temp from 65 to 67.
And, we had taken off the flannel sheets
But, we have the dog to keep us warm
I still have mine on the bed, haha.
I love the 40's. It's cool and the air is fresh. I'll take that over humidity any day.
The sun is what makes a day for me.
I passed halfway so I am done. Enjoy the day.
I could see that argument for 50s but 40s is way too cold
Carla, have you had your grad party?
no, Fri night
That's interesting. I don't consider 40's "cold"
Any clues for the o word 4th column?
well, 50s is a bit cold for me too. I'm always cold.
willow tree, we have it quite a bit, mkg
And I run hot, hence the difference
yep
Any clues for that O in the fourth column? It is annoying me.....ugh. I am sure it is obvious......
Carla just clued it. os5
Yep, I'm sure I saw Carla's willow tree, we have it a lot, clue
Sorry. I missed it.
it's just weird you would ask for a clue and then immediately ask again without reading only 4 posts
Agreed
oh well, stuck with 45 left. must get busy. TTFN
good morning all. help with eithe sp8 pls
going to fast, peri
and going faster
I got one ty
looking for the other
I have the one with the comparative ending
Use the gerund
ah did not see the gerund. ty Bea!
You will use that a lot today.
Well i searched for the willow tree word with an O and found nothing!
79 left and that is the first time I used it
It's a five letter word. Surely you can monkey three letters
it is a shrub
it is in the grid often
Will look again peri.
my scrabble dictionary says it is a European tree
Found it! Ty ty ty
now you just need to remember it :)
stuck with 79 left bbl
willow tree starts with an o and is 5 letters?
4th column e stats pls?
er5/12
ty hurshy and hello

ashy fireplace so7
hi dorens ty
good morning everyone :)
gm Nan
good morning cyber
there is no fe 8 to go with the fe 7 -- who can forget the 2 am fe 8 with a new baby?
now I know the creator of enable is a man!!!
that suckles
ty cyber
Suckles is Hurshy's word
I hope she won't be nursing a grudge that you used it
you all are really milking these puns
we're claiming words now?
I guess Crosshair has Beloved then
really just keeping you abreast on suckling hokie
ooh - I so regret starting this
naw nan.. it's a titillating conversation
fireworks!
grats dolly
ty!
areola done with these puns?
this is udderly ridiculous
someone should nipple it in the bud
oh good, I was thinking I lact good timing
I seem to have woken up this morning to a bunch of boobs. I might have to go back to bed.
if this keeps going I feel it's going to be a colostrum mistake
tata, joym
thanks for the mammaries
Leave me alone, I'm nursing a grudge.
Although I have to admit this conversation is titillating.
I wish there was some kind of a formula for better puns
It never fails. There are always repeats. Or in this case, reteats.
Well, as long as you don't bottle things up, things keep flowing.
these puns are suckling
that depends on how you latch on IG
we are really milking this topic
We are certainly milking this subject for all it's worth.
IG and I are drinking from the same cup, or maybe bottle.
yeah.. we're like the la Leche league :D
this feels like an episode of Twin Peaks
*Puts on Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up"
hate to unlatch from the current convo, but I'm having troubles here with my printer/scanner. I can print from my computer but the scanner won't connect, no matter what I try. It's the same machine!
i'm missing one 8 ... grrr
got the weird Di 7/8?
That's weird...did it used to connect, and just stop?
yes.. i have the di8
it's a s or a t for me.. that's what I"m down to
I don't have the DI 8 and I'd love a clue
I di- into the chat + mis-spelled horse color
there's 3 SP 8s
2 SN 8s
ok.. that's it.. i have two.. i'll look for that
yes, just googled the error message and apparently canon hasn't updated it to be compatible with Big Sur MacOS
got it.. thanks greyhound
YW, Ru
thanks IG
glad it helped, Joy
I didn't understand the "into the chat" part but the horse color help. Weird word.
Anyone know how many EN words there are. I don't want to list yet.
3
ty car
is there a nonequine clue for that di 8 please?
ends in an, Nan. tough one to clue
an + s
swim + negative + AN
ty joy
hmm, thought I got that one , but it's not dipnotan
was trying to connect an r in there somehow
rhymes with the horse colour, carla
nothing going my way right now. LOL.
one more and heading for the list
have an air quality contractor arriving in an hour or so
still 41 left here
have moved up to mr. homie's computer to try to scan from it but it's literally the slowest computer known to man
and if I get it to work, I will have to run up and down the stairs for each picture I want to scan
and there are 3 more -- 43 to go
oh - I know I entered some of these last night!
I guess freon is a proper noun. Damn.
i am missing all of the8s
well at least I can look for words here on my laptop while the slowest computer in history is doing stuff
ha 7 clue pls?
I only have 3 8's
guess ha7 is one of my missing H's
i need 2 h words
hokie do you have ha 6?
me too
no
but was wondering if they are related
those are the two i am missing.. not related
ha 7 add a gerund ending to the ha4,6
the HA 6 is weird
I mean I was wondering if my other missing one was a related 6
ty vioxx
archaic gerund for ownership
hmm, thanks vioxx
joy clue pls?
ha 7 -- gerund for the gate latch
archaic or scottish? got both, thx
huh?
I have 3 HA4s, 1 each HA5,6,7. What am I missing?
The HA6 has a lot of vowels
if you own something you ha** it, mlfan. I think the ha6 is scottish without the consonant.
ha 5 - dif. conjugation of one of your 4's
I am ha* lunch, but leave out the consonant
ty nan
is it ha and then a cons then the vowels?
no
leave out the cons in the middle of the ha4 word - I ha** something (not in grid) but leave the other 3 letters and add the gerund
It's really a pity ionize isn't in the grid.
got it
or sneezier
no sneezes or freezes of any sort
now we are sounding like Dr Seuss
uh oh...if you get this bunch started on Dr Seuss we'll never stop.
exactly!
why is it so hard to find a 4 letter word sometimes???
di 7 please?
because the letters move around when you're not looking?
OMG no not that di 7 again.
i dont have that one either
can you repeat the clue please joy?
oh geez it was right in front of me bu ti was going the wrong direction duhhh
there's a very long, painful discussion of the DI 7 and 8 below.
waffles are ready, gotta go
it must have occurred during the wee hours of the morning for me, because I haven't seen it
did you find it mlf?
cyber the chat about the di word..nope
did you find the di 7-8? can anyone clue it please?
Hello all. Only one left. Any clues for the ep7/32?
red can you cleu the di 7 pls?
loooking redshoes - would you clue the di 7-8 please?
oh it is the ep 7 that I am missing
i need both
di 7-8: is to take swim + vowel + part of my game name
ep 7 please?
ty cyber
di7/8: potato chip condiment + negative + article for singular word that starts with a vowel
ends in 4 vowels
teh ep7
go up
ty mlf
*!*~*!* any clues wanted before I leave?
yw cyber congrats
not sure what to ask for lol
ep7?
I can't even figure out the 3rd letter for the ep7
dan it ends in 4 vowels
go up and to the right
ends in the na 4/4
e ***s and needles
ends in 3 vowels then
ep begins like the allergy pen and ends with a 4 letter babblet also in the grid
ty IG and MLF
and nan
ep7 like the pen with and ending of one of the na4's
then how does it end in 4 vowels, mlfan?
sorry apparently i cant count lol
3
vowels
between us all we have spelled it out now :)
yw dan
Thanks clg! That was it for me.
Fireworks!
now can we please get back to breast puns
jus kidding
congrats red
hagd everyone
tone
pe6 the first one. should ne easy I know the first 3 letters but I think I have tried everything
WTG Red
hi frances
LOL, grey
first pe6 I have relates to the bathroom
Grey it's nice to see someone with the right priorities!
past tense of the 4 above it
pe6: gerund of the pe4/6
but that is also the only pe6 I have
pe 6/24 and pe 6/27
there is a 6/21
pe6/24: looked at
p + ee5
Going to take the puppy outside before she ends up pe6/24 in the house. :)
ty itallain
YW Fan
thanks redshoes
well my first pass through lickety has certainly taught me to try to gerund everyth***
i just tried some dan and got 3 words
don't forget to plural one of those
nad igo ta 6/33
and igot a 6/33
huh
ðŸ‘
i found a 6/33 with the gerund end***
fe 6/27 clue pls?
collecting a F--
I'm back from my yummy waffles. The fe 6/27 means the same as a common fe5 (not in grid) that means wild, like an animal.
fe + anagram of horse controlling rope = fe6/27
oops, sorry. wrong word
tona
tons
ooops sooryh
as in tona fish?
more like tona tona tona! (group in the 80s, sort of)
firewords! thanks all cluers
clue for the top o?
hsnpdier
CRAP!!
and congrats Dan!
Woo-Hoo1
yay Dan
os5/10
the willow word
thnks!
taking a break -bb soon
How many SH words are there?
I have 3
hello...middle fourth column E stats pls
ER5,12
ty joy
3 SHs, huh?
yep
OK, I'm going to need some clues for those SHs, because all I see is one SH4,5
sh 6/21 and 7/32
hmmmm
mis-spelled sea shack (or song)
sorry - you didn't ask for that clue
ty IG.
I didn't ask...but you knew that I needed it!
I've got 50 words left and I'm going nowhere. Time to list.
made it to 31 with some help from the chatterbox
well 29, didn't see the latest clues
hmm, I guess my missing F is that fe6. not sure i know another word that means feral but I guess I'll try some things.
aha. thx
Just starting listing. Why or why don't I remember to add plurals?
yes
any guesses on my missing z? not the 7
Anyone know the meaning of that DE4,8? I've seen it before but it's not in the dictionary and google thinks it's an anagram.
The other 4 Zs are 4/5 pairs
don't have, so I couldn't guess!
the De is an abbr. thought not allowed?
so, I guess what you were saying about making things plural applies to me too :D
lol
Merriam-Webster defines it as "challenge/de------" (from the French, I guess)
oh, we get that de4 a bit. not sure if I ever knew
ty gillie
google says decentralized finance
so it's the noun version of the verb that ends in y per m/w
pretty sure I've never seen or heard it used as a noun
yes, but it's not the first time you've seen a word in the grid that no one in real life ever uses.
truth
amen to that
any clues for the EN7/8?
several in this grid
didn't have the 8, thanks
e + country
e + country
stereo
beat ya, Carla : )
call it a tie
ty both
I was too busy talking about how I missed another plural
zo7?
more so than zo4, which isn't allowed (think suit)
try working that word into conversation and watch the faces
zo4 suit is a always capitalized I think
agree, but why isn't the adj?
It probably isn't accepted because it's only used as part of the phrase "zo-- suit"
makes no sense, you're right
or proper name ?
ty
what is the other i on the bottom?
clumsy ?
or angry
ugh
thx
it was the 5
can't go backward
is it safe to assume all the bottom R's are Ri?
can't find one
Yes. There are 9 RIs.
they are all normal words except for one
stats please?
which RI is abnormal?
one of the RI4s is weird but it's easy to monkey
one RI6, the rest 4s and 5s. You can find them.
I have faith in you.
LOL, big mistake!
It is Carla, Joy. : )
it's not ript, even though I've tried that roughly 26 times
shampoo and ri
lol, it was a very similar 4 that I had the 5 and 6 to
so moral to the story, not only check your plurals but check your root words as well
23 left, mostly big words. does not bode well.
make sure you plural that gerund
well not all of them
just one
ha, found the last 2 T's. compound that always gets me.
finally, a col/row grayed! (middle col)
oh, also top row gray
last 2 A's were missed plurals. starting to look up here. but still 4 7 and 3 8 left.
ooh, there's an 8
I've got the SP7,8 combo, the Scottish one, but I can't find the other SP7s. Any clues?
ooh, there's another 8, 1 left
I don't seem to have the one you have. or any sp7. will look. still need 7 S's from that tile, yikes.
sh6?
ok, got the scots ones
sh6 is like an old shack
ty
the second sp 8 has a gerund ending...
second one I have anyway.... ;o)
joy mentioned sp7's so that's what I was looking for
I'm looking for an SP7 (not an 8), the one right before the creepy crawly
sorry....it's the third one, LOL>..
ah, there's a PT of a 5 I didn't have
it's before the 8 legged creature but I don't know if it's right before.
it's a gerund....
also scottish
got it, and that's FW for me!
congrats...
still need one from that S, I assume it is another SP7?
well done, joy
sp 5/8/8 and sp 5/7/8....
there are 2 past tense sp 5/12
those are the ones i have....
two sn 8...
ok, I have 2 pt sp5
8 left - SS S RRR D D
Moving day, due to living so close to a seniors home, I am on the public wifi, it is weak and spotty but I'll take it until I hook up my network tomorrow.
hey sukee!
The move went smoothly, 2 hours from start to finish.
Hi hokie
nice, sounds very smooth
I dread when we eventually move. have been in the house too long.
Having a patio helped, they brought everything in that way
ooh, found my last 4
I threw out so much stuff before I moved, it is crazy.
Now I have a huge storage closet, which could be dangerous :)
have been decluttering since Jan 2020 but still have too much stuff.
rest of my words now are 1x5, 4x6, 1x7, and 1x8, so I think i'll have to list.
Have to run, need a nap :)
have a good one
hmm, last 2 R's were plurals. I still didn't learn joy's lesson.
and last 2 s's were a plural and a PT
now I am moving on. finished with heavy help from chat and 6 on the list.
it's interesting that, according to Enable, you can be more zo 4 but zo 4 is not accepted....neither is capitalized in the dictionary....
any hints for the 8s, plz?
two sn 8 words are comparatives (more of the word)....
one sp 8 is also a comparative.....another two sp 8s ending with gerunds.....
gotta go....hope that helps....
I have one sn. Do you have a clue for them?
Drips
Pier
Oh dear so sorry
anyone ot there?
i need z clues!
i only have 2
i have a zo 4 and it's plural, if that helps?
those are the 2 ihave....
i also need halp with the n's
ze 4.9 and its plural
thanks, tri!
of course!
fun little grid.
phantom = sneeze
is anyone here?....
Im here
oh hi....was having trouble finding my last word, but i monkeyed it....i am done....
good job - big grid
ty...i did list for the last 25....didn't have the patience to finish without it...
heading out....goodnight all....
