Morning all! Does anyone have stats, please, for the bottom O?
Osta
Sorry….cursor keeps moving….
OM7.48 & 8.65 Matty
the 15th letter of the greek alphabet
ty for that clue lynxxx
Thank you!
That bottom O will be the clue ask of the day
Pen, you grab that naughty little cursor and put it back where it belongs : D
I think you're right, Molly, about that bottom O
I feel like I'm missing a tranche of words with a suffix or prefix, and that once I see them a whole bunch will fall into place
And Matty shows off her advanced vocabulary using the word tranche
Hah. That reminds me of a story - many, many years ago, when I was in school, my mum belonged to the PTA (amongst other organisations - I have several stories but that's neither here nor there). She said that something was a 'moot point' and one of the other members said 'why do you always use such big words?!'
need help with both le6
got one need the other LOL
nv, found both LOL whoop
and FWs
Congrats!!
ty
good morning! made it to 100 left.
Me too! I have exactly 100 left :)

Backatya!
I have all the 8s but only 1 of the 9s (and only five of the 7s
I have found 5 7's, 1 8 and 1 9. but gotta go. we are moving some things today into storage and mr. homie just got here with the truck. TTFN! 99 to go.
*Marks the tally board
82 Essesssss!
82 esses is excessssssive.
I agreeeee!
It's like the hyperactive kids club in here today. : D
More coffeeee...
Grab a Red Bull while you're at it
That probably has too much sugar for me.
Name that proper noun...resort lake in Nevada/California
Tahoe
Ding! Ding! Bea wins a jet-ski!
thanks! That gave me the ma 5/14
Yeah, I guess that was pretty much a PB violation.
I started before I went to the dentist and I have nothing higher than a single 7, lol
Did you get a crown, mael?
I ask because you can get the tiara for the day. Might as go big.
hah, thankfully no! two old fillings that failed but I have terrible dentist anxiety so this was bad enough
half my mouth is numb now so I'm having a hard time with my coffee
I'm also in the grid, so that would have been quite the day if I did get a tiara
I believe that is why Bea said you can get a tiara
in that case I will definitely take the tiara
:)
te
sa
do re mi
can anyone give me stats for the bottom o pls?
om7.48 and om8.65
ty bzz
and ty morewords
once you said the stats I got it but I'd always seen it spelled with a c
Same here.
mael Morewords had both
i have never seen that word before
i'm sure it's an acceptable variant, but C is definitely the "normal" spelling
Greek O
it'll give you a unit of measurement too, also normally spelled with a c
oh
is donald trump still american president or is it joe biden now?
Yeah, it's a greek letter. Lots of them in Babble grids. Tau, beta, zeta. Another Greek letter is in today's grid too.
biden
President Biden.
ok
Biden has been President since January
oh i didnt know that
Any clues for the 9s?
Time for a coffee break
me9.66 a device used to keep the tempo in music
Ty. Got it.
ty bzz
Any clues for the A word fifth column? Ty
aa4
Ty got it.
Any clues for the i words? I have only one, the io 4 4
Just got two more.
hello...may I have stats for bottom O pls
om7/48
ty ru
clued at 8:52
Greek letter spelled wrong.
It is not spelled wrong. That is an alternative spelling.
I rigorously tried Mortis in the grid
LOL!
Too funny for a groan.
as did i ruru
I guess you needed a stiff drink after that Ru
this grid seems harder than normal
I firmly believe I'll get through it though
You are dead on with that
Cadaver you do, don't stop now
it's making me a bit slab-happy though
Of corpse
Don't get too excited Molly you might have a coroner
(liked the of Corpse pun)
Nope. No coroner. That is not in the scrypt
this subject gets funnier the morgue you go at it
If anyone has a question about this, feel free to casket
Gosh, you guys are quick on the uptake!
I know... and we could go on and on ad masoleum
Speaking of corpse...(had to walk the dog)...
too sleepy to walk bea?
NCSTU has a corpse flower. They ahve had it since 2016 an it is getting ready to bloom for the third time.
it's pretty stinky.. we have one here in GG park
Smells of rotting flesh.
Oh yeah, just what you want for the dinner table centerpiece
clue for sn7?
Has anyone clued mo9/60?
Well, it gets to be six feet tall and three feet wide.
swimming gear, pahe
phae
ty Bea
mo9 is the a lunar occurence.
I'm sorry. That's not correct. MO9 is a single veined stem
tks, looking
oops Bea...PB for the st4
thanks bea.. my first 9
Ru, the other 9 is from that first letter.
got it.. the piano thing
I was too keyed up at first to find it
Confused by mo clues.
I have mo 7 and 8. But not the 9. Have first word, the lunar thing, but then what???????
the lunar words are the mo7 and 8
Ok. So what is the mo9 please
mo9 not related.
9:57
Thank you. My brain was bending trying to figure out what that mo9 had to do with the moon
I get microphylls………???????
Do you know the prefix for one?
Yes i do. But then phylls is not in grid.
So that can't be it, can it.
And the st 4 word gives 8.
moron is a phantom today for me
Not a phantom
OK, so the MO9 use that four letter prefix for one, is that correct?
I found it but it is not in google. Ty anyway.
Yes, matty
Yes matty and then a different spelling for very hard metal.
:D bea
Thanks mkt :)
I was convinced it would be the duckbilled platypus, but that's not in the grid (close, but no cigar)
tks bea and mkg, finally monkeyed it!
Oh there goes Matty, showing off that vocabulary again
Or maybe I'm wrong and everybody knows that duck-billed platypus's are monotremes
Well, duh...=)
hello all....
Hey, pen
hey, Bea...
Good morning. I try "most" every time. As if Enable is going to suddenly recognize a word that's been in use for 40 years.
hi ori...
*mosh, rather
that's the pits ori
:D
I'm off for the day. Toddles.
bye Bea...
Toddles. That is the US way of saying Toodles. Or the baby way, not sure. : D
the word i found for the vein is an Mi word?
sorry, i dk what you are talking about...
the other 9
i have the one relating to music
hello...si7 clue pls
i have one but i don't think it's related to music...mo9/60....
that is the one about a leaf vein that you have
the music one is the one i have which is 9/66
I'm intrigued by the number of people who say they try a word every time, even though they know it won't work. I wonder if they are the same people who keep buying products that don't work (stretch mark cream) hoping this time it will work.
i don't know...no definition....i just monkeyed it....
i sometimes do that because i am not really sure it won't work....no penalty for trying the words....
not me molly
is it like the m&m trying ot get the fudge brownie inside of i?
perhaps.. ;o)
Pen, mosh has been in dozens and dozens of grids. Are you honestly telling me you try it because you are not really sure it won't work?
that is not a word i ever try....
No, Molly, I'm not one of those people who continue to buy useless products. I just play other word games where ceertain words are allowed that aren't here and I keep oping they will be added.
I'm talking about words like mosh and oreo that are in a lot of grids and people say "I try it every time". I don't get it.
same here....some are accepted here but not at Spelling Bee and vice versa.... hard to keep track...
does that 9 begin with a low tone?\
mo 9 starts with a prefix meaning one....at least the one i have....
Spelling Bee is a pain in my butt
Okay, thank you Origami for the explanation. However, Enable has not been updated for 21 years. I kind of doubt it ever will.
sorry, bichon....i like it... ;o)
I do too, pen, but it doesn't take so many words
very true...
i thought so pen my monkeys are not working
there is a link somewhere to tell them what words they should have accepted....
But, it takes bibbenbop. That's a Korean word
I have only attained Queen Bee a couple of times and I've been playing for about 4 months.
i thought it ended in st4
same here....
no, MLF, that would make it mo 8...
I keep telling Mr. B to send them an angry email
he should, or at least point out what words should be accepted...
And there are a lot of commonly used words that aren't accepted.
agreed...
Wait, Spelling Bee is a pain in your butt because it takes a Korean word? But Babble is okay, even though it takes Hindu, Japanese, French, Dutch, German and countless other language words.
never said that Babble wasn't a pain in the butt at times... ;o)
what korean word was it?
Read the chat MLF, she said what word it was.
Spellin Bee is a different game. It doesn't have Enable as its dictionary
ohh yes a beef dish
its actually bibimbap its has veggies
Looks like the Spelling Bee word list is as random as Enable. "Spelling Bee has a separate curated word list that strives to incorporate commonly used words, with a couple challenging words from time to time."
yes, it's a bit arbitrary....apparently bibbenbop was mentioned in Babble on April 3, 2021...my name is in the google link... weird...
I think it is hysterical that you can Google search Babble chat.
bichon... you complained about that word in Babble on that date...
i did not do that....i googled bibbenbop....
No, I mean that it shows up in Google searches
ah yes, that did surprise me...
well i am kinda stuck at 69....need a break....bbl to finish...
what a great ki6!!!
"There's a ki6?" she said wistfully.
there's more than one actually
i'm referring to a ki6/33
but i also have a 6/30
just found the 6,33~
she said fatefully
:D
good morning everyone
Good morning, nan.
need help with the mo 9/66
Prefix that means one + misspelled product of Bethlehem PA
ty Molly!
mo 9 - single comemmorative column -- doesn't really make any sense
there is another KI 6/33
it's actually something to do with plants....hello again....
Our Master Gardener knew that : D
the ki 6 I have is an old musical
think japanese...
similar word nan...change of last vowel
The other 6/33 is a vowel different from the one blurted
ty kallia
ah...didn't know that word....ty, waskallia....
alternative for the other...yw
there is also a ki 6/30...
yep love to wear mine around the house lol
that is the 6/33... ;o)
nope 6/30
oh...guess it could be the 6/30, too... ;o)
do both of the 9s start with the "one" prefix?....not asking for clues yet... ;o)
at least one does, pen
I only have one 9
yes, i have one....
No
ty, molly...
Chatty Kathy must be busy today.
hi all . help with bottom O please
hi peri....om 7/8 .... a greek alphabet word (alt spelling)....
been looking for that one too, but don't know greek
ty looking
tough to clue....
Clue ask of the day, that bottom o. Google is your friend Nan
stats for the last col. a please?
i knew the word from a women's educators' society....my old chapter was om 7....
will google as a last resort, Molly
aa 4/5...
was never into that kind of thing pen
ends with most of Swedish money word....
never been to sweden, so don't know their monetary units
ty for the aa
yw...
do you know any mythology?
You know what they say, St. Pen, the Lord helps those who help themselves
I googled greek alphabet and found an om word but not sure how to spell the alternate
very little -- will probably have to google it
change the second consonant...only way to get a homonym of that word....
figured it out and got both ty pen
yw...
google the Greek alphabet....you will see it...
very slow going here...
would never have monkeyed that -- amazing it found its way into an english word game
blame Enable...
we have had other Greek letters....tau....th 5 (in the grid today)....
That is just it. This is not an English word game. The rules only state that "foreign words NOT ACCEPTED by the Enable word list" are not allowed. Which means foreign words that ARE ACCEPTED by the Engable word list ARE allowed.
Engable?
We have French and Scot words all the time. Sometimes Japanese words and German words. Other languages as well.
yup...
no need to yell, molly
finally found the other 9....
and my missing 8....on a roll....not... ;o)
stats please, pen?
me 9/66....
ty - looking
it's a recognizable word...
Not yelling, just stating the facts.
duh --- with all my musical training how did I not see that?
i felt i should have seen it earlier, too...
I use capital letters for emphasis, not yelling.
i am heading out....hope to find my last 53 later....bye all....
still need 104, but taking a break at 100
the mo9 plz
one + hard me5 spelled differently
one prefix + product of Bethlehem PA
Spelled differently, the product
monojesus
damn it .. wrong bethlehem
Personal Jesus
Jesus please us
Jesus Mary and Jo Jo the Carpenter
one + stone column (usually carved to commemorate something)
i have MI 8 and OM8 Stats for the last 8 pls
mo8
help with that mo8 please
A lunar group of things and plural
How about that, I beat the "nm"
*marks Babble calendar* (a feat not accomplished in years)
ty looking
got the mo7 and mo8 thanks Molly
i only know the first 4 of that word
what are the stats for the ma 5 ruru is referring to?
IDK, what are the stats for the bottom o? can't get anything to work for an OO but feels like it has to be that.
Most asked for words of the day, om 7 and 8
hmm
Unlikely you will get them without a clue or a look up, only the mental giants did
lol, are you calling me a mental little person? 🤣 it's okay, if the shoe fits...
No, I was thinking more of myself.
so a young lady is valid, but an older title of respect doesn't "rate" as a word. Ageism! (lol)
Not sure I get what you mean
mi 4/4 is is the grid, but maam doesn't "take"
ma'am has an apostrophe
I think it's a contraction for madam
and apostrophes go in contractions where the letters are removed.
it is, but I think it's been in use for so long that the apostrophe should be dropped :)
but i'll let can't, won't, isn't, doesn't, stay as the status quo. My favorites are sha'n't - shall not and daren't, dare not from Victorian novels
well cant and wont are other words too so the apostrophe has to stay in the contractions to tell them apart
good points! English has enough homonyms as it is - at least punctuation and spelling variations can help a reader differentiate!
I do wonder how will not became won't
I think the conditional kicked in - would not, because willn't was to hard to say!!
ah
or maybe some Saxon derivation?
from the interwebs " Abbreviation of wollnot or woll + not, negations of archaic form of will. The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology agrees: XVII. contr. of wonnot, assim. of wol not As to other forms, Etymonline only mentions wynnot: first recorded mid-15c. as wynnot, later wonnot (1580s) before the modern form [won't] emerged 1660s.
TIL, thanks
grammarphobia dot com has an interesting blog post about it, too :)
Oh my
Even Hurshy doesn't dig that deep
sorry - I'm a college professor on break between terms, lol
no need to apologize
I teach architecture and interior design, but I *love* words and language and etymology -- and learning!
slowing down here 89 left
I need one more H to gray out top row
found the missing H
excellent, peri!
ty
80 left bbs
ta, peri
anyone got the bottom Os?
alt spelling of a greek letter
om7/8
ooo neato
I heard it was om7 and 8 but haven't found
that honestly should just be the spelling since greek itself doesn't really have a C as such!
hokie, google the Greek alphabet.
yeah, not really up on my greek, so just thinking there's no way this can relate to omega
O + a very very very small measurement
I also heard I wouldn't find it without looking it up, so 🤣
it's the sort of word that once you find it, you might say "oh yeah, i have heard of that but i forgot it"
(at least that would be my guess)
well, I looked it up, but thanks all.
and I got mi6/7 too
heh - just got those :)
Most people think omega instead of the grid word. We know the Greek alphabet from sorority/fraternity names
we have Omega Sports store(s?) here and now the jingle is stuck in my head
hello again
howdy nan
done!
much indebted to lickety.
and happy to be done with this farshluggina grid.
Great Yiddish word
sameth
I think it's made up. I got it from Mad Magazine.
No, it's real. My German husband knows it
mo9 please, my last word and cn't see it
https://tinyurl.com/y5ns9m6n
one of my fave simpsons scenes
mo9: one prefix plus homophone of a hard metal alloy
homonym?
thanks, got it
staring at all these letters and not seeing any words :(
I think homophone because it sounds the same
Got it, thanks and done
but I think a homophone is a homonym
wtg bubba
nan, still have 80 left here and not doing very well
bottom and top rows black
well done, bubba
I have no idea what the difference is.
farshlugginer
nan come to the dark side and use the list
kits
oops - sorry
75 left
I just googled and it said homonyms are homophones and/or homographs. I do not know what homographs are.
think I may have to harry even though I still have 75 left
the Ks were impossible for me.
I will go to list soon. I do not want to spend all evening here
I found 8 k's
Ms are tough too
I was inventing new Khardashian first names.
still missing 2 k's
I have 11 k words
wow - I'm impressed. I wasn't able to find many w/o the list.
:)
need 2 L words to gray right column
I was only impressed I found the one that is destiny
I need 1 L there
there are two ki6/33
there are two le5/12. one is more common than the other
I have 2 le5/12 thanks
my last one was le6
don't have anle6
maybe somebody could give me one on how to play this game better.
ty carla
right column gray
the other one is different last letter
I still need one E in right col
found it! right column gray!
yay
phantom: maestro
oooeeeee i got me9 and i am so proud and happy!!!!
well done hursh
Oh that excitable Hurshy
don't want to rain on your parade, but me9 was very easy for me and I'm not a babble genius 🤣
but weren't you excited when you saw it?
yes
well there ya go
it's an exciting word to spot
think I was more excited about ki6, but I think me9 was last night when I was half asleep
i was excited about ki6 too, yeah
and therefore not as exciting
I'd be really excited if I could find more words now
i'm going to feed my cats before i settle down to work on the S words
giving up and listing at 68
still need 13+13 S's. geez
still 77 here
I think there are probably a lot of little 4 and 5 letter words I'm just not seeing - there are so many of them
finally finished the i!
and then there are the plurals
and grayed the o! both those were easy pairs
hello friends
hems
oh shoot, sorry
hi trif

ooh, I got a pangram on spelling bee
what's a pangram?

spelling bee is fun!!! I have only dipped my toe so far, but I like it a lot
I broke down and got the game subscription. really not doing well on today's crossword.
I mostly concentrate on the boston sunday globe crossword

hurray nan!
NTPN - video game I played so much in college I used to see it when I closed my eyes to try to sleep
Mab, youre profile is both scary and intrguing
Oh. so silly. I wrote that years ago.
And was endlessly amused at myself. silly.
it amused me - so thx
you're kind IG :)
more honest than kind
what video game Carla?
diogenes will be looking for you then with his little lamp.
nobody sees it in the grid?
????? tell please
not sure i would know it even if i saw it...
tetris
never played it
very addictive
is that the one in which things pile up and you have to maneuver the stacks so they don't reach the ceiling?
I blame my daughter - I do RPGs
oh, i do know that game....it is addictive....
yep
final fantasy (?)
never really got into RPGs
gotta be retired with time on your hands
what are RPGs
hi all
role playing fantasy games
around the year 2000, i belonged to a sci fi writing group on Scifisites...it was Trek based. We had a location and era, we posted our character bios, and then wrote scenes either with others or on our own.
thank IG
thanks even
Pen Huh?
what?
sounds fun pen. i used to write stories jointly with my friends, but we used pen and paper - so long ago.
we did a lot of communicating using ICQ....does anyone remember that messaging system?
i remember hearing about it but never used it
it was a little app that appeared in the corner of your screen....you could assign wave files for people on your communication list....so when you heard their "sound byte", you knew who was messaging you....it was free....
Ok, Cowboys will win tinight
we should get points for almost words like almost hamster
some of the mi words today are bogus....
Dont think so the Champa Bay team will rule.
Has football started already? on a thursday?
Go Bucs!!
opening game of the season mab....go Bucs
Thursday Night Football. Since 2006
2nd se5/12 please
I was thinking they wait until college football is over for NFL on Thurs
ends with the sound you make in a hot tub... ;o)
no, they start in the fall with "free" games for a bit and then you can't watch them without some sort of paid channel....
huh
picture yourself, peri....relaxing in the hot tub...
its on, Molly
OR....what charlie chan used to say "** so*....
ty pen was looking in wrong direction. and done
so great peri!
congrats, peri!
tyty good night
i am down to 16...
are you really a Buc fan?!
I think not
if i rooted for any team, which, you know, i wouldn't, it would be D.C. - I think they're still calling themselves the washington d.c. team, or something equally imaginative.
thank goodness they finally gave up the old name. was an issue for years and years.
the generic football team
so correct now
limited opportunities for mascots (thank goodness again)
I grew up a Cowboys fan but moved to Charlotte the Panthers' first year, so it's Panthers, baby!
ok Carla its on
i am done...
heading out...goodnight all....
well done, pen. 69 left here but I'm not really looking for words now.
i haven't found a single -ism and i'm starting to think there might just not be any
I found one hursh
i have an ish, and there must be more.
hmm, i thought i had one but now i'm not seeing it
i have a -less
I thought the word lists under resources on Babble Expert were from the Enable dictionary (as stated in parenthesis) but I had to go to another resource to find the mo 9
