could someone tell me why for the past few days my daily babble comes on screen with 2 tiles missing/blanl. refreshing does not seem to bring them back, thanks H
hmmm and if you close altogether and go back in ?
yes I tried that.. but every day for past 4 days..i work from lickety list..also have rebooted computer...
odd - i checked the grid on lickety and all tiles are there
i'll log out and try again if not I am bushed.
older computer? I had to get a new video card for one I had - it worked better for a while, before it blew up completely, haha.
no a new computer
oh, I see. Maybe it's just not quite right yet. I don't know much about them, really. Mine used to do that to me, seemed like maybe when the rest of the people living here were hogging internet. Not enough to go around? I always wondered.
I mean, I just got more lag and slow'poor loading when more people were on.
nutso should so be there :)
retire
sorry
This seems to be a difficult one...
Will be back later to see if it gets any easier.
yes - there are some tough tiles here. first pass. 123 left
bbl
great, can't wait to get started!
you know you've been playing this too long when you're like "oh! how could I have missed the Angolan monetary unit!!?"
Aha, I shall type lw4 without looking at the grid.
you're good!
Great timing, HH.
99 to go! gotta go cook!
How ominous that de5/12 is in the grid.
ah ty - didn't have that
LOL, I did not rem. lw4's definition
You don't use lw4 in daily conversations?
haven't yet today
Me either.
I need to go to the bank soon to exchange my lw5 for US $.
well, now you have used it
I did.
well I have found 2 8's
Wow.
kind of a high % based on the number of words I've found
are they wo's?....hello all....
Hello penquis
but now I must walk Winston before it becomes heat stroke weather.
hey pen, it was an re8 and un8
I saw a toddler named Winston yesterday.
hi scrabs, hi carla....
no, my wo's are 7s, not 8s....
That C is tough.
i have 2 words from it so far
I have 8 but that means I need to find 15 more.
yeah sure does
i have 8. no plans to finish. i usually aim for half way. that is enough time for me. pressed to get through with all else every day.
i have 3 d words btw
any clues for any 8s? ty
I need about 20 more to get to halfway. I have no 8s.
ty a nyway. i am only on 79 words so far.
One 8 is a lo8/40
is the u mostly un words?
I have 2 un- words.
all are un
ty. for lo 8. any clues? not seeing it.
found one ty scrab
all un
lo6 + 2 for one thing
♥ Love ♥ Bea's new icon
dauber what do you mean?
One of the clues: an lo6 + two more letters. Hang around and you'll see it.
ty
mkg lo8 is an extension of lo6
I need the lo6. Clue please?
Hang around
when you hang out or move at a slow pace
OK, got it. I passed halfway so will see you tomorrow morning.
As Dauber said in her previous post "hang around and you will see it"
Sorry, his previous post
bye scrab
"her"??
her?
hi ruru
hi mlf
well dauber you wouldn't be our first transgendered player :D
ha!
Yeah, I'd have to explain a lot to my wife...
(and I didn't see Molly's correction!)
Ooh...another 8 is one of the un- words.
i still dont get the lo 6. darn
the sign on the sidewalk said "No ******ing!"...stores don't want people to hang around in front of their stores....
will look for the un word
got it pen. ty. just not the 8 yet.
got the 8! ty all cluers. great clues.
yw...
that makes you all cluers Pen :D
now just must get half way/ ugh.
all for one and one for all... ;o)
going for my siwm. aiming for 1.5 miles today. did 1.35 yesterday
bye, mkg...
good for you.. i do a half mile a day
thqts plenty ruru. i used to do that but since covid decided to do more.
any clues for the last 6 of the un 8 before i go?
the book has no writing on its spine.... ;o)
that is a clue for the whole word...
i assume that is a clue but not sure what it means. binding is all i can think
writing is not binding...
thanks pen
he means the book has no name
unrited is not a word. and unwritten not in grid.
well ok... ;o)
what writing is on the spine of a book???
thinking.
GOT IT. TY TY TY
but un-ti5 is
noblemen have these, but peasants are un8
what is the name of a book???
ty ty all cluers. off to swim
wtg mkg
8 posts in one minute....must be a record...
just noticed that I did three of them, lol....
triple enabler :D
guess so... :o|
ty for the un 8/50
scroll down a little....multiple clues....
crowed
ok... ;o)
does anybody know how many ao words come from the corner a?
nope....didn't realize there were AO words... ;o)
found one...
i only have one and i am trying to grey that corner a but the other a can also be ao words
but not from that A....
ye ai dont have any from first column a
i am still missing two words from that corner A...
one now...
i have 5 al words from that corner a
one ao word
same here....
i have 8 a words from first column
to find
i have ten of those...
5 left to find...
morning folks
make that 4...
hi hursh....
now i have 10 on fist column a to find
it's always weird to come in on people who are almost done when you've just started lol
morning hurshy
not for me hurshy lol
I still have 70 to find...
i have 200 left and i started this AM
oh i thought you had 4
pen and i have one word from corner a we havent found yet
four left from the left column A....
and i have 8 to find from first column a
there are at least 3 ao words
and i think the are from first column most but one that pen and i know of comes from corner a
ty, hursh....
so you're saying that someone else told you that there is an ao word that comes from the corner, did i understand that correctly?
my one AO word comes from the left side A....
all three that i have come from the left
i just found ao6 from the first column
one is a greek case in linguistics so that's a little hard
i just get it because i took some greek in college
pen one ao word from last column a that i know of
i found two more AO words from the left A...
so how do you know that MLF?
ok you can add a "person who" ending to the singing voice from the corner A in order to create an al7
its the only one pen and i have found from the last column so far the other one is from the opposite
ah, yes...ty, hursh...
that is just incorrect, they all come from the left.
AH ty hurshy corner a done!
my other AO word, MLF, was from the left side A when we were talking about AO words....
<--- finished the r's.. smug look
congrats ruru
i'm having severe trouble with C
i still only have 2 c words
ok not that severe, but still...
That would make C's constipated for Hurshy
and confounding
i have a 4 and a 6
and a conundrum
found two more
6 so far
i have 14 but didn't get anywhere after the last one i found....
Good morning
It must be an off day for Ru. He said nothing about this..."it's always weird to come in on people who are almost done when you've just started"
good morning origami
hi ori....
trying to behave myself actually
good luck with that, ru
to set a good example for your dog?
His dog is better behaved than he is, hursh :D
a lot cuter too
well that goes without saying. it's hard to be cute without FUR
tired
oops.. so sorry
Yeah, me too :D
why did i think criolet was a word? something is that rhymes with violet
starts with a T....
aha thanks
according to morewords, also piolet
yw....
only found it after you mentioned the cr word....
so many phantom c: creole, cherries, crew, crept...
yes....
i need to eat so i am heading out....bbl to find my last 57....bye all...
ttfn pen
bye, pen
this site is giving me probs
is your new furniture arriving today ori? :D
new furniture? how exciting
My new dog gnawed on the wood backing of my upholstered club chair. No new furniture until he has been whipped into shape :D
ohhh silly doggo
Evil hell-hound more like :D
ugh i just hate 19/23 but i can't find one more C word
I only have 12/23
haven't finished my first pass though
you've heard of the hound of the baskervilles, this is the hound of the basketcases :D
oh and cerise is another phantom
but I did move on from C
An apt description, ru
his saving grace is that he's cute as hell
I think that saves a lot of dogs and kids
He is and he's very sweet.
and now we come to the "why does that re- count but not this re-?" portion of the day
which is particularly maddening when you just need one more R
hey, truncheon is almost there again today, that was almost there in another recent grid too
And this is something you remember because...
because it's an interesting word
yeah, redeal is absolutely a thing
and reworn
yes
i mean the fashion police are horrified when a celebrity wears the same clothing twice
which is really bad
i see the lw words are rearing their ugly heads again
And we must always comment on them when they are here. Some things are so predictable in this place. : D
yes, we must, for the sake of people who might not notice them and will be glad that we have smoothed their path
harry said earlier you've been playing the game too long when you automatically see angolan money
should we now complain about the acronym in the grid when others aren't accepted?
Oh lets
awer
;awd
kaplan, I try awer literally every day it seems
You just wish you were one : P
lol tu7/32
I'm sure I awe all kinds of people here
can you elaborate, TO? I don't have one yet
i have a tu7/32 but it is not lol worthy, does that mean i'm missing another?
Oh you just might be
I'm not really sure what is funny about either one though
I can't find either one. is that funny?
well mine's just castle towers
Well that will give you one Carla
it is funny that i typed it as a joke and it worked. enable.
I thought that was just a phantom. just another time I should type stuff in.
i know. i do that all the time, not as if we're penalized for wrong guesses
I was wondering why Diarrhea was funny
thank heaven for that
yeah, not like in the old days of babble 1.0
back to work
/trying to think of t word for diarrhea
diarrhea is the other tu7?
It would be a much more competitive game if you were penalized for wrong guesses
it would be a much more STRESSFUL game too
sometimes i play that way, how long i can go without a wrong guess
No, you would just play differently
true
yes, if you lost points for wrong guesses it would certainly change things.
The race to finish first at the flip would certainly change
If you use the list for every word, you could probably be perfect
you would definitely go to the list much sooner
the list isn't ready at the flip tho
not long after though
ive never seen the flip - what time ?
Let's see if this got any easier while I was away?
babble 1.0 - no list and penalties for entering wrong words - if you go read the early chats, you can see how hard that was
Midnight Central time in the US
Oh, I see the time over the grid - so in 12 hours
flip is 1am for me, so it's rough
thx, Hursh
imagine when clue requests were few and far between, usually the last hour or so
yep, the game is wayyyy different now
much like wheel of fortune
and there were some clever cluers, witty
I would like to go back to the day clue requests were fewer.
lol carla
i remember when they had that big rotating platform from which players would choose prizes with the money they had won
There was a time when you were penalized for entering wrong words?
yeah, when the game first started
lol i can just imagine someone dropping in and reading that. heads would explode
I agree with Bea. Chat is like an all day cluefest these days.
if they thought that was babble
yeah, the early players considered a lot of commonplace things today cheating
I find it annoying when someone comes on and asks for multiple clues for multiple words and complains when they don't understand the clue given.
What? Like or + re4...giving 4 letters of a 6 letter word. Not cheating, but really awful cluing
yeah if someone doesn't understand my clue i'm like, sorry to hear that. not going to feel obligated to keep coming up with more clues if i don't want to.
I find that annoying too Origami. I refer to it as clue begging. The complaining that they don't understand is just rude.
I don't mind giving clues, but I try to make them non-obvious.
<-----Thus my new icon...
Funny, Bea :D
clever clues are one of my favorite parts of babble
And then there are those who feel obligated to clue blurt (so you know they are a smarty pants and already found the word)
but I tend to go as far as I can without a list or even reading the chat, so it doesn't bother me
I've heard you refer to them, Molly, as "clue blurters," which sounds like a medical disorder. "Oh, no!! It's a terrible case of clueblurters." :D
It is, it's similar to Tourette's : D
oh man, I totally brag about finding long words if they jump out at me right away. But that's because it doesn't happen often. :) but then I don't clue it, just say I found the 11, yay or whatever
Unfortunately, those who are the most offensive will not understand we are talking about them.
People used to call you out if you gave anything less than a clever clue. I remember Jillibus nailing me once. Good for her, I learned from it.
but, there is always a lot of grace-extending necessary in any community, because people will always have differences that bother each other
And don't get me started on the chair letter, cross letter, roundy letter clues.
well yeah those are most annoying
snake letter
Double hump letter
There is a difference between extending grace and enabling. There is a lot of enabling that goes on here.
but what about when I clue lw 4 and 5 just for fun?
personally i think it makes sense to MENTION the oddball ones in chat because there will always be newbies who would never think of that
It is a matter of perception I guess. What if there are new people who are trying to do what the game says and "find the most words that YOU can find"?
I'd say 'turn off the chat'
Origami, clueblurters is a lot like the golbloots from I Love Lucy
i love doing clever clues
A lot of people do play with the chat turned off these days.
what's amazing is most of the time people get them
In saying that, I enjoy being at the flip when peeps say is 8 and I frantically try to find it...LOL
i do love how there are sympatico brains here
If I was a person who asked for clues, I would rather get a clever clue than one that basically spells out the word
yeah, most of us prefer clever clues
Frantic is a good word to describe the flip
like ask me for a clue for the pe6/24
Oh, I remember that, Molly :D
Ru, what is a clue for pe6/24
a person who molests bike parts pe 6
I enjoy that also diz. But, random cluing in the chat annoys me.
lol thanks ru
see what i mean ? :D
I always wondered what that word meant. =)
i think i'm spelling that pe6 word wrong
Name that proper noun, scary looking Speaker of The House
Pelosi
Ding! Ding! Bea wins a day at the spa.
2:40 am here, going back to bed, see you all later.

Well, they are odd ball spas. No massage or mud packs.

ok, back to the grid

emile zola -- also defended drefuss
*dreyfus
my fingers do not want to cooperate today
Come on Carla, get Frenchified
Emile Zola. He's the guy that went out in the boat in Jaws with Richard Dreyfuss : D Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies
we studied the Dreyfus affair way back when in high school history.
Richard is the only Dreyfus I know
I think there was a tr 8 called last night that I never found?
I have looking for the tr8 but not found it yet
I only have 2 8s and that ain't one

I have lo8, un8 and re8

every card player knows that redeal is a word!
have already complained about it
Finally back to try to finish.
hi again - took a lunch break there, Still need 123 and am at a standstill
Just started here so still have 231 left.
missed giving you your crown yesterday zoom
Sorry. I was here and I did see it. Thank you anyway.
95 left here but I've been helping the youngest pack for the dorm. tomorrow's the day.
empty nest coming up?
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
yes, nan
don't be sad -- new stage of your life coming with the freedom to do what you want when you want :)
It will feel strange and sad at first. I am sure they will keep in regular contact at first. Also there is zoom type devices to keep a face to face when needed!
alert
alertist
poo sorry
want to try something we don't have already? my missing 8 would do
thanks, and thanks for the a word. did not have.
and our house is going on the market tomorrow!
Wow big changes for you this year then.
making sure they won't be back?
haha
Do you know where you are moving, Carla?
no bea, still up in the air. have an open rental house we can move into if necessary.
my sewing room has been packed and in the garage for like 2 weeks. not sure when I'll get to get back to sewing.
I'm about to haul mine out again to make some new masks. With this new delta surge, I think I need to be prepared.
Are you thinking of changing states, hokie?
most of the places we've considered are still in state, ori
don't want to get too far away from the kids or my mom
Makes sense. Are you downsizing?
yes!
dont envy you the task of sorting through everything and deciding what to get rid of
I know, have been in this house longer than any other, so lots of accumulation. I did start decluttering back in Jan 2020 though.
So you have been planning this for a while then it seems.
well, I think I just started decluttering back then because it was winter and I realized it really needed it 🤣
but we have been trying to figure out where we want to move to when empty nesters for like 5 years
so if I disappear for a while you all will know why
Real life comes first, Carla!
plew
I am will have to shut up now. Sorry again.
plew to you too. and I didn't have that either
hope it warks out for you carla
thanks, nan
Wonder if the TR 8 is your missing 8, Nan.
I think she was here earlier when peri found it
I still need 2 8's
I just need one more here.
one here as well - went to list at 98, but haven't come across it yet -- will call when I find it if you wish
I have un, tr, re, and is

I have a weird wo7 but it is a pl

Sorry, Bea. I did not see your post in time.

No problem, zoom

Lawd is most certainly a word i the south.
I have tried lawd twice
oh lawd
IKTR!
I tried it also. I had a southern mother :D
Good lawd!
We also say lawsey.
also correct, zooz
who does that song, I can feel it coming in the air tonight? is that the eagles? I feel like they say it.
Phil Collins.
yeah, lawsy me is big in Appalachia
oh, that's right zooz. I feel dumb.
Tried lawd too! :-)
Of course you did, Une!
You are far from it, Carla.
I'm really missing my boyfriend.
Has he been gone long, Bea?
Three days. LOL!
Ha!
Haha!
He is such a good human.
How is your food garden doing this year, Bea?
We do not have one, ori. It was sold by the city about 2-3 years ago.
Oh, too bad. I guess I thought it was on your property.
I have 8 little tomato plants and three pepper plants in my yard. My neighbors have been enjoying the bounty.
I hardly have anything this year. I broke my arm just when I should have been planting, so didn't get much in.
It was a community garden on city property. We have tried to talk them into other properties around the city, but they want to sell to property management comps.
How is your arm doing?
Pretty much healed. Still need to baby it a little. It's been almost 4 months now.
Good.
only think left in my garden are green beans, strawberries and lettuce. Not much sun and lots of ashe, so the tomatoes are hard and acidic and everything has to be thorougly washed after picing
49 left. Need to give my eyes a quick break.
*picking
my volunteer tomato plants have a few small green ones now. look kinda like roma which I don't ever remember planting before.
still 82 here but getting back to work. TTFN
we have had so much heat and smoke with no rain, that the tomatoes are ripening before they have finished sizing. We are also on water restrictions with the drought, so it is a no win situation.
Finally found my last 8...
breaking for a while at 50
my cat just woke up out of a dead sleep and attacked my arm. I needed to tell someone.....
Loll!
oh no! bad dream or is she always like that?
I've known both types.
That happened on the last Friday the 13th also. Last time I had to go to the doctor.
or he
or they
Raised by horses. No social skills.
This is tje first I have thought of it being Friday 13.
oh no! naughty kitty!
I have many like that, harp. Lots of ferals.
one of my darlings can attack while being petted. she forgets herself i think. i try to speak authoritatively to her, but she just advances. scary.
We've been working with this one. He's too timid to be a barn cat but too mean to be a house cat.
poor guy.
He would be a good candidate for that TV show "My Cat from Hell"
could I get stats for a 7/8 combo? for nbt?
is7.28 and is8.45
thanks., that ought to keep me occupied for a while
Shouldn't take you long...

Oh here I thought Bea had a boyfriend and she's just calling her husband her boyfriend. Well, that's better than DH, or my beloved.
Oh my beloved...=)
He is my boyfriend.
I can't believe I still have 48 words...
Although I do like playing later in the day
Beloved makes me gag. I'm glad you still think of him as your boyfriend.
Me too. I would never call him that.
