Good morning lurkers.
Morning Scrab!
Hi Matty
I'm finding this a tough grid so far
I have started at a fast pace but I expect to slow down soon.
I haven't found anything bigger than a 7, and am still missing anything from the E in the fourth column, third row
...and now I've found a word from that E
think Australian bird
flightless
For the E or for a long word? I found an em4/5 from the E
it's em4.6n (mispelt IMHO!)
Alternate spelling for the bird
although maybe it is the em6.24
Aaah - that seems to have come from the other E :)
Ah, maybe it's the six, then :)
Yep, it was the 6 - thanks!
Goodnight all
Sleep well, lynxxx.
I must get ready for work. Bye.
Em7.32 and 6.24 come from that E.
straight forward fun grid - finished it with list
I'm really struggling. Still nothing longer than a 7
Do you want stats for the 9?
Please!
ma9.60
That will not give you an 8 however.
Is it a word I'm likely to use in conversation?
Noy unless you deal with buildings and architecture.
Sadly...I do not
Foundations of stone assembled by ma6.21
Matty, I think it a word that is familiar to you
Thank you - Bea's clue did it for me!
yw
Bea's clues do it for everyone : D Well, almost
Yes, sometimes I do not have enough crayons.
My problem was I didn't have the ma6 (now I do) - getting that really helped
Crayons, hmmmm
50 left for later.
what is the crayon clue about?
4th column e stats pls?
em4/5
hi phae ty
yw
good morning all
aussie bird comes from the middle col.
4th col. e = em 7, em 6
human memory is so interesting and weird. like i can remember a word that we've had before, even ones we don't have very often but that aren't extra-memorable like crwth, and at the same time i can forget that i entered a word five seconds ago and type it again!
you are not alone. Sometimes I wonder why I bother coming in at the flip - I can't remember what I entered the next day
phantoms: insure, ensure
not seeing that em 6 that was called last night -- have the em 7
hmm, i'll look, i have neither
got the 7
ugh, i keep thinking emesis and it keeps not being there
yes it was pretty easy
ok i got it! like the green gem but put O instead of AL
ty hurshy
back after breakfast
I keep trying emu but there is no U near the m. So i am lost
Oh got it. Forgot one vowel.
Anyone have the 9 or stats and or clues?
not i, said the little red hen
Hurshy thinks green gem and I think what you need Preparation H for.
Ty anyway
em7 is not from the fourth col
ma9 has to do with building, specifically brick work
true
em6 and an em4 are
thanks molly
yah
Yah, said the guy from Bahston
latch broke on a window lock this morning.
what a hassle
I can epoxy the thing or try to fix it right. probably means taking the whole assembly apart.
I have ma 5 and 6. They are builders. But not seeing a 9. Is it two words?
Oooh just got it. Ty for clue.
No
My grandfather belonged to the ma 6. He built houses
did he know the secret handshake?
i never really understood how it morphed from a professional association for members of a particular trade into a sort of a weird non-secret secret society
perhaps i should look for a book on the history of the group
I assume so. I have a watch they gave him at some point. He became very rich and then in 1929 was wiped out during the depression. He had 100 houses rented out. And tenants couldnt pay so the bank took all but 3 of them. And he lost the rest of his money in the stock market. He never evicted one tenant. He didnt have the heart to do that. I didnt know him because he died when i was 2
Hurshy if you find one let me know.
there's this short story "cask of amontillado" where the guy says he's a ma5, but he means a bricklayer rather than a freema5
that's Poe :)
right! I forgot.
I heard they started in biblical times or before. And were the first formed group based on a persons work.
ugh, 25 left and i already found all the 4s
we had a ma5-ic temple in the NJ town where I lived. it was always empty. eventually became condos I think.
41 here.
Poe is hardly factual
i have one 8, ad8. anybody have others?
There's a so8
I have so8, ma8, ne8, ad8
that's a wealth
I only have ad 8 also hurshy. Need the others. Harry send clues.
Ty
is the ma8 related to the group also?
no
at least not the one I have
Yes.
found the ne8!
Oops not the 8, the 9. Sorry
wtg
you can't see the forest for the trees hursh
got an mo8!
missing one 8 now.
that's so funny, i found the word just by pulling it out of the recesses of my babble memory, and now because of your clue i know what it is, lol
hah - I thought it had something to do with italian mothers.
Opie is in a Mood
Sacre bleu! Found the mo8. :)
does that mean it's kind of french looking?
oui
indeed madame
Wow. I still dont have mo 8.
oh, VERY french lol
Got it. Now how on earth is that in this grid? SO NOT ENGLISH.
I had to google the spelling.
ok now i am caught up to Harry for 8s
so what's our missing 8?
well it must start with one of the letters in HERDS
oh.. found the 9
i have an ho 8
!!
ok will hunt
haha it's so normal too

oops pb for me i meant finished
MLF is the only person I know who sends herself to the PB
well its only because i want to eat the good stuff in here before anyone else can get to it
Nan, start like nerve specialist prefix and end like cancer suffix
I found an 8!
good job hokie
lol, it was molly's clue
i got a ne7 from that clue?
plural
hello all....
pen!
carla!
weird i tired that before and it didnt work tried it again knowing it was right the first time and it took
Hi pen
hi MLF....
1st col gray!
same here...
ðŸ˜
The clever girls are at it again
lol...
ðŸ‘
this grid is one of those that you have to try plurals even if you don't see them....
kind of a mirror like quality to it...
so true
does the grid really have an ou5?
yes...
clue pls pen?
starts with the Top O in the last column....
ends in two vowels....
ty pen
was going the wrong direction to begin with
yw...
rehi
oops
😂
I kill me
found another 8! this time on my own
rehi....
i am stalled at 40....
still 91 here
first half went very quickly....
well, I think i have gotten halfway on each tile
76 now
not good at French - took me a long time to find the French gent
are both U's UR?
ah....i spoke french before i spoke English... ;o)
yes, Carla
yes, UR...
wow, french and spanish misters today, thx for the french IG
funny how certain words in the 2 languages are so similar but others are so different
yes....when i studied Russian there were words that came from French....
Latin and German were tought at my school
took two years of German in college...
actually, Spanish was tought as well
back again - lazeboy repair man arrived
only spanish and french at mine, though when my mom was there 30 years earlier she took latin
I loved Latin in school - basis of so many words
i had French from 1st grade to 10th grade....also took two years of Spanish in college....and one year of Japanese...
only had one year of Latin in high school...teacher left....
oaky, now youre just braggin! :)
okay
my freshman year roommate at school took russian and dropped it after one of the first assignments - writing the alpahbet
LOL....
i took 5 months in a night class some years ago....every one else had dropped out so they dropped the class...
I took languages to balance other courses....no papers to write....
my dad majored in spanish and then taught it for probably 15 years
nice...
still looking for that ne 8 -- does it have somehting to do with the brain?
How many letters in the French mister word please
brain or nervous system cancer I guess, nan
five
what? I thought french mister was 7 letters?
8, Nancy
I mean 8 letters
Thanks
oh.....i was referring to the french lord or squire....
stat for that?
si 5/12....
remember than MON means my....
sieur
oops
bingo!
found it - ty carla
lots of french in this one -- even the city at the mouth of the Seine is acceptee for some reason
yes, weird...
Ooo, Cuomo bites the dust
stat for that?
like, he's dead or what?
ro 5/12...
not right at the mouth but closer to LeHavre than to Paris
he resigned
God Carla, I'm not that crass. He resigned due to sexual harrassment charges.
i was there two years ago...
ah, thanks for clarifying 🤣
i guess it's a duck....you can pl it...
I think there are a lot of politicians out there that are guilty of worse crimes than he is charged with
I guess if you said "bought the farm" that would've been clearer
anyone care to guess what my missing h is?
hmm, found ro5/12 that is a pl. so I guess back to work.
nan, I still need 6 so in no position to guess
carla....you may have most of the city word...
maybe HE 6/27?
ok, found what I assume is the ro5/6 set like the city
yes - have he 6/21, but not 6/27
yes, a wild duck
ends in the occasional vowell, Nan
wow, no he6's here. gotta get busy again
slacker
ty IG...that was my last H as well....
still 68 left, so I'm missing a lot
ty IG - top row black
30 here...
4 H's now
ha, 4H
(maybe half of you know what that is)
I think I do, Carla
i would have thought US people would all know, unless like, raised in the inner city or something
I was included non-US people in the half that didn't know
and the big city folk
youth Ag club, right?
we have several that grew up in NYC. I can't imagine any of them ever heard of it
but maybe canada has it too, as a neighbor?
yeah
I don't know, maybe Nan will chime in
head heart hands health
wow, nan comes through!
when I was a kid our local skating rink had 4H night every week and that was a big deal, everybody went
even though we now have a population of 108,000 with accompanying high rises, when I was growing up here the pop was 10,000 and surrounded by orchards and farms
meanwhile, I think my small town has decreased in pop.
yes, well, this is what happens when your town is situated in a valley on a large lake with a mild microclimate and someone has the brilliant idea of building a couple of highways connecting it with large cities like Vancouver and Calgary
looks like my town was 1543 in 1980 and 1327 in 2010, so not that big a drop
see the lost fish is in the grid - too bad it's a proper noun
but the city next to us where everything is was 32k in 1980 and 48k in 2010 so it grew a bit
why isn't smores a word?
i am assuming that is a rhetorical question... ;o)
yes
it's as valid as a lot of the stuff we get
the apostrophe
it's a contraction and none of those are accepted
due to the apostrophe
smores are not even in dictionary.com....
and there is no apostrophe in he 5?
Back to work on the last 50...
no, click on the def of that. not what you think it is
hey bea, 63 here
probably not even english
hi Bea...
it is a civil law word for those who inherit
44 and tough going
Had to take my BF to the airport.
not sure why that's different from the other he5 for those who inherit
thought that was the other he 4-5
does mr. bea know you have a boyfriend?
Yes, he knows.
honestly I'm surprised at the spanish words with ñ that are accepted
Are they Spanish or Portugese?
spanish. I don't know if portugese uses the ñ or not.
That's waht I was wondering as well.
Carla, did you get the cat sound?
of course not, thx
I like my cat sounds spelled like normal cat sounds
that n is a tough one today
tough to finish, for sure...fun to start... ;o)
yes - looking for the last 3
I need 3 N's as well
i am down to 21...still missing one N....
the NE 7/8 ends in -- and Pa
have those
have those...ty...
theres a plural NO 5/12 without a singular
was missing the singular on that
that was one, thanks. and of course I tried it as a sing. more than once
ty IG - down to 1 now
Japanes decendent
have that
have the descendent....must be missing the pl that has no sing....
no, i have that pl....
have the Ns now...
need a break....bbl to finish....bye all....
what was your last one pen?
duh - found it
now for the r below that n -- missing a lot there
There is a ra6/7 combo that is like the gas.
yeah, I need 4 there
RA 6/7: Delilah's beau, Mis-spelled
lol, thanks IG
ty IG
Bea, you may need the shelter : D
I guess my last 2 are bea's combo
not seeing how to make that though. maybe I'm thinking of the wrong thing
Juliets beau, as well!
and ty bea
still need 2 from that r
Change the last letter of the gas and add a silent letter
thought ramen was some kind of noodle
get up again, Nan?
lol, ramen comes up literally every time it's in the grid. you know enable is picky on its allowed pastas
have that
Bea's ra6/7 ends in circular ceiling
good clue, Molly!
I'm feeling quite the moron as nothing is making any sense.
There are a lot of words that come up every time they are in the grid. Oreo is another one. And the never ending discussion about spam
yep
Bea's ra6/7 ends with the first part of Juliet's parnter?
the youngest was sitting next to me earlier and I told him to look for words. he kept trying to get me to try oreo, and I was like, no. just no.
Only start with a different letter
radrom?
is that anything like redrum
Baldy is a "chrome ----"
Well I wasn't going to go that far but there you go
finally something that makes sense - thanks IG!
well, apparently I am super slow today, molly
ok, if you had said circular roof instead of ceiling I might have gotten it
You are too smart to give clues that include that many letters of the word. I would feel like I was insulting you.
now just need one R from the right to finish all those stinkers
Did you plural it?
yes, I finished that R
need one from the right
need 2 from there
He6/27 please
yeah, try to plural everything from the right side
this is a dumb game you say? that's he6 to us!
The bird with an extra vowel Une
Blasphemy, une
Tx!!
Ooops, sorry, wrong H
down to 19 - need to take a break
55 still here!
ok, it was a plural I was missing
last col gray!
20 left. All the bottom S. Must contain my last 8
I need 8 from the bottom S
"that certain, special, So------"
Didn't really need the clue, but thanks.
sorry, I have a habit of clueing unasked
working on it
oh, found another N
some people are so excited about the words they just can't help sharing, IG 😜
been waiting to use that word in a Monte Python movie song
no SM, correct?
correct
has anyone complained about domo today?
just found a boatload of Ds
not sure how I missed them on first pass
just looked up the def of the second SO 6/18 - 7/28. Gotta start using it!
its Scottish
I had a feeling it was scottish
and yes, I already had those, so still 5 S's. but just working on all tiles right now. wait, if you want to clue something, what is my missing U?
bear-like
thats for the 6
why do I see it immediately when I was trying all kinds of things around the bear word this morning and nothing
youre distracted?
no, it's like I just can't see it unless I know it exists
That's it for me today. See you all tomorrow!
well done, bea!
Hi, peeps. Clue for the EM6 or EM7 please?
the em7 I have is like nail files
do not have a 6
and hi joy!
Hi, Joy - They both start like the jewell. one is plural
one ends with rocker/crooner stewart
thx
ty carla and grey!
yw
just found D6 similar to the S6 we were talking about. 3 different regional definitions and all pretty different meanings
and just discovered both have spellings as 5s
Yeh, I looked that one up and was surprised to find the 3 different meanings too!
english is weird
26 now - still 10 M's. my goodness
ooh, found the 9 all by myself
I have learned so many ways to spell the sound a cat makes since I started playing this game earlier this year.
it's ridiculous really
I wish someone would make a list of all the cat sound words.
I need a clue for the NE6,18. It should be obvious, but I can't find it.
Does it start with the Roman emperor?
Just stumbled on it. No, no emperor. Weird word.
hmmmmmmmmmm
ty dauber. That is weird.
well, I reckon that is my missing N. looking
should have gotten that
weird, but we have it all the time
Well, we don't all keep lists of the weird words like some folks do. And I have no memory retention for words like that.
I've learned about the existence of at least five weird words from this puzzle just by typing in letters from going with random paths!
make it six. good grief!
aaaaaand fw...again, from guessing.
re hi as carla would say
grats dauber
maybe I should learn what some of these weird words MEAN!!
anyhoo...I'll keep the tab open for a few minits. Anybody need any clues??? I'll try my best. :)
anyone still looking for the em 6?
no, but I need one E
which e carla?
the middle
I need 2 2nd row s
me too
and 2 H and 7 M and 3 D and 5 A and 2 S from the bottom
you have the money from over the pond?
One of the second-row Ss is the root of one of the weirder words that people are questioning as to why it's allowed in this puzzle!
yeah, that's from the top E
so it is
the weird 5?
or should I say spooky?
if it's french, we have it, dauber
spooky it was. usually just try that if we have a lot of e's
oh, I forgot hiree is not allowed. thought I was onto something
Where are you seeing an H and I and an R that connect?
LOL, in my mind I guess
this might be my problem
dauber - are you talking about the french si?
do you have the he 6/27 - to speak against church teachings?
Mais oui.
yep
Why do people still question what is allowed in grids. This is what is allowed in grids: Whatever the hell the Enable word nerds say is on their list. That's it.
missing 5 s's from the bottom - missing a series maybe
So true, Molly! :-)
do you have the 7/8 pronoun combo, nan?
You can't make sense of the senseless Une : D
there's also a set of 3 scottish words so6/7/5
yes
Three scotch coming up. Single malt.
have a scots so 6-7 combo -- meaning healthy
there's an alt sp 5
oh and the 7
molly, you know I can't have scotch!
make mine a macallam please
oh, just found 5 A to finish it
*macallan
I'll drink hokie's macCallan
back in the before times we had a scottish guy come to our soccer place (which is owned by scots) in the summer to run kids' camps and stuff and he used to do women's camps. anyhoo, we ladies would take him out for drinks and he would always order a beer for me and then take it so he could have 2 at once.
wow, that was a long story
you can't drink beer or alcohol/
but ru reminded me of it
I can have some rums, potato vodka, cider, wine
don't like wine. is that he6?
I did say in here yesterday that I liked a late harvest semillon that I tried once but my friends who love wine thought it was gross.
late harvest wines appeal to a certain person. I love them personally, but rarely drink them
I think I have one in my fridge (unopened) that I bought at an NC winery maybe 3 years ago. 🤣
can you have peaches and ice cream? that's a good pairing
yes
peaches and ice cream are great together 😜
with the wine you dork
haha
late harvest wines are great well chilled and served with fois gras :)
I'm more likely to have peaches and ice cream available
giving up and heading for list
11 left - 0-2-3-4-2. I think I should just list
missed trumpsie -- who knew that was a name
*a word
oh, I mentioned that earlier. rhymes with the S?
well, my H's were fairly normal words, just big, so I couldn't find them.
and I know I entered the radioactive gas last night
had to look up some m's that were fabric. never heard of it.
and the gypsy guys that I added last night
glad I went to the list
yes me too. hagd everyone :)
back atcha

Tablets are great for most things. Babble’s not one of them.

I do babble on my tablet and it is fine.
Just delete the auto correct.

I am looking for the ho8 but no luck as yet
just found the ho7/8
No luck at 4:54, found it at 4:55
classic peri ðŸ˜
so8 is an unlikely plural of a common word
Unlikely plural is the most given clue today for so8
And I don;t actually find it so unlikely

Good morning Babblers all. Today is my 16th official birthday of Babbling. (I played for some time before officially joining.) I never tire of seeing what the grid will bring each day.
any hints for the ho 7/26?
nm
wow ! Happy 16th Babble Birthday, Jacula. xx
Thanks grannyrose. Just going through my first sweep of the grid. 68 left to find. HO7/26 isn't one I've found yet. x
well you have plenty of ho's in you, unless you are going through menopause...loll
emeu
sorry about that
Thanks for the clue, granny rose. Got two words from that. I'm well past that stage in life. :(
Thanks maggiej. Hadn't got that one. 64 left to find...
Congrats on your 16th year ... I have been playing off and on for 9 years ... wow where has the time gone!
oh i'm loving it. have been through it, now coasting on the other side of the hill...
Yes, indeed, maffiej - the years go by so quickly.
maggie, i was just thinking. what if we added up our individual time spent on babble...how many years would it work out to? loll
Glad you're loving it, grannyrose. I'm not finding all parts of the other side of the hill so sunny.
A silly hint on the HO 7 ... what verbalization does a hooker make ... and it's plural for the 8 ...
No kidding granny
Jac you will honey, you will.
I think we must have hundred of years Babble expertise between us all.
I haven't found this side of the hill pleasant either ... been going through a messy divorce for 3 years, had to weather heart surgery alone, trying to resolve family business issues all the while ... but I try to be positive.
roflol. a few years back when i was still working, one day we added up all the years of work experience in our recovery room. it came to over 200. collectively.
((Hugs)) maggiej.
Sorry TMI by me. Not my usual MO.
ty Jac
Don't apologise, maggiej. We all need to let it out sometimes.x
maggie, you will make it through. because you are female. sure, every now and again we break down, throw thigns, like words, kids, ....but then we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and say, bring it on. honey, i have been through all that rough stuff. and here i am. happy, and mostly content with my lot in life. xx
grannyrose talks sense. However, there are times when it seems there is yet another mountain to climb. We'll get there!
any time you want to vent Maggie, either email me or PM me in FB. i will be there for you.
thanks you very much for the encouragement
Maybe the sight of a well-toned Ad6/21 would perk us all up? (Clue.) *grins*
cabana boy??
lol
Yep. lol
my cardio doc in his younger days (still does actually) would set all the nurses hearts aflutter. i mentioned it whilst out with a group of bikers, saying what terrific eye-candy he was. you should of heard those blokes howling me down with cries of sexist etc.
haha to over the hill - sometimes a daughter will say come to the shops with me - I say oh no I am not dressed decently - then think what the hell - I am invisible and wearing a mask so I go as is :):)
Snowflakes, every one of them! ROFLOL
