got it via morewords - never heard of it
well that gave me nbt/nbs :)
I've got 3 hu7s which just seems like a lot of hu7s. that's my pithy comment this evening.
420?!? I'm gonna need some 420 to get through this grid.
do7, os7, re7 x 4, so7
I have 5 re7s
Actually, so do I - I must have miscounted
au 7
Nice one
*beams*
well, I must leave the rest for tomorrow (if then). Good night, all!
Good night, freep!
I'd better go too
se7
Will I feel exceptionally silly if I admit I can't find either the E in the last column nor the i (eye) in the bottom right corner?
try id5.14 & 6.24
and I can't even clue the er7.36
Hi everybody. Grandson number 2 arrived last night. Mother and baby are doing fine. Grandson number one's nose is a bit out of joint, but he'll have to get over himself. :-)
How wonderful Soodle...Congrats!
Thanks Lyn. James David. He is a beauty.
Congratulations, Soodle...
There is some nasty words in this one - both Lickety and Morewords getting a workout
ugh, 36 As
ugh, 53 Ms
420. Wow.
and halfway is a challenge too scrabs
And I am leaving for the Adirondack Mtns this morning.
Have a great time!
We will.
good morning doren
Hi Ruru.
hi scrabs.. have a nice vacation
We will. Six days of backpacking.
morning ru
hiya saan
OK, I feel silly about the i words. Now the e word....
<<<< *lurking*
hi judi
Corner i = id5 and 6
Clue for the lone e?
it is a doozy
er7
My eyes stop after 4 letters.
Found the i words!
Great. I found them just before you asked.
Good Tuesday Morning, y'all.
I keep thinking you all are here early, but forget I'm in a different time zone...
is there a def for the er 7/36?
i couldn't sleep
is that a complaint or a clue / :-)
it's an Herb
I need to get going. Enjoy the day.
Is the capitalisation of the H on purpose
i.e is that a clue?
I'm a plant person, so eremurus is my phantom today
er7 er & vwl & most of eye ointment or artificial tears
oh crap, I just realized what the er is, sorry
Good clue, Lynxxx!
ER, vowel, three lettered alcoholic drink much loved by sailers (backwards) vowel.
LOL, Mael!
Maels was better!
sorry, damn latin plurals
I appreciate both - thank you!
of words I didn't know took the latin plural
pb for me
that's a better clue than what I could have come up with mael
the best clue, in fact
Mael's Latin name is "clueless erroneous".
I grow weary of this endless grid. 253 left. Doubt I'll be able to come anywhere near finishing today.
is the er7 a word that anyone has EVER heard of?
well Mael has
I've never heard it before. Those who dabble in horticulture sling it around like a dead cat, though.
it's a very pretty flower bulb
I wouldn't call it an herb by any stretch, though I guess it technically is an herbaceous plant :)
*Whine*
sounds like one i may never figure out
I've got 202 and hit a wall
hello all
Meatball, at 8:10 mael shared her phantom with us. Rremove the last two letters and chnage them to a vowel
Meatball?
Meatball 421 formerly Jeanius421, don't know what hppened
ohh hello
:-D
i only see the er clue from lynxx clue
but havent figure it out yet
mael didn't clue it. It was her phantom
it was the silliest thing
lynxx clued it
So did soodle.
first 4 letters of Mael's phantom, yes?
first 6 letters, actually
a te5.12 for Jillibus!
so the alcohol part of that clue is backwards?
The phantom is nearly the word. But plural. But not with an S
i didnt see the phantom
Scroll down. You'll see it.
found it lol
Hallelujah and thanks
I was going to clue the lone E as e + vowel + The Ghost and Mrs. _____ (scrambled) but Mael took the lead on that one
er + vowel that is
i finally got it and i used morewords
Not sure what the appeal of that plant is
supposedly a pretty plant molly
I've seen them. Not my thing I guess.
I think they are lovely.
It's like the phallus of the garden : D
I don't plant them because I try to only plant natives these days, but they look gorgeous in the right settng
Oh how ecofriendly and sustainable of you
Actually, planting natives goes beyond ecofriendly. It's just smart practice.
I don't garden for just me anymore, mostly for the birds and the bugs :)
and I find it very beautiful to plant for the health of the environment
4th column i stats pls?
Me too, mael. And Mr. Bea can no longer use chemicals in our lawn,
id5/14 and 6/24
ty
ir4/5
oh sorry
I misread as 5th column
We know who wears The Master Gardener pants in that family
I've managed to get my husband to switch over to organic products on his lawn, which is second best to getting rid of the lawn entirely. but you know, baby steps :)
North Carolina isn't the best place to grow lawn. Mr. Bea does a lot of hand weeding.
This grid is killer...
people out here smoke them bea
I have 135 words left and it feels like I've been at this all morning
i have ten m's to go
good morning everyone
Good morning, nan.
this was a tough grid. whew
It is a good morning -- we still have a miority government, but the Trump wannabe didn't win :)
Looks like you elections went your way.
yes the did -- would have preferred the NDP as the official opposition, but they at least hold the ballance of power.
we were hoping you guys would take trump up there nan
no thank you ru.
I mean after all we took in Justin Bieber
and Captain Kirk
and Celine Dion.. so it's only fair you take Melania and Donald
uh, still no.
rats
i can think of better ways to spend $600,000,000 than calling an election during these times
no kidding. I was very po'd about that bit of vanity
agreed welki - it was a waste of time and money
what a waste of money that could go towards the environment and homeless people and feeding people
and staffing hospitals
ru, did you actually finish this puzzle?
...and the border to the us remains closed until (at least) october 21
hey nan, how are you?
good saanich - you?
yep saanich.. i'm done now
fine, all things considered.
congrats ru, that was fast!
got to get to work.. I'm meeting up with ori to bring her some doggie stuff
Tell her I said hello.
hope some people stuff is there too. Like wine.
hello from me too.
i have some vino packed for her.. she'll be a happy camper..
bye.. good luck with the grid everyone
au revoir ru
202 words left and stuck already - its going to be a long day
can someone clue the i on the 4th column pls?
ir4/5
ir 4 babblet
if its the one ending in s i have that
found it
no - that one comes from the top i
I love that Mael refers to the lawn as "his lawn". : D
I get it. I have nothing to do with ours.
stas for the lone e please?
er7.36
ty - will have to chew on that one for a while
it is his lawn, I don't want it
ends in a vowel cyber
Ler me know if you want a clue.
yes please
also scroll down if you want pretty much the whole word because I wasn't paying attention to latin plurals :)
er + flightless bird + do, ** me, fa, so...
ty bea

yw

bottom O stats pls
om 4.5
ty
rehowdy. did not even notice there were 420 words this morning
I'm glad we have a down day. But that will probably change at any moment.
weird, my post never showed up
Last night I gave the grands the quilts I made for them.
The rehowdy post?
hi all, I agree Bea.. am calling this my "office day" bc I need to tackle piles of papers to organize and file. Rainy here, keeps me inside.
No piles of papers when you scan things and store them digitally
true, Molly.. good goal!
still nothing
well, I hit refresh and everything showed up. not sure why my chatterbox isn't working properly. no issues on other websites.
It might be from overuse : D
hi again -- good morning Carla, Aloy and Molly
I was wondering if molly managed to do some kind of coding or script to keep rehi or rehowdy posts from showing up
hi nan
hi nan
Lots of rarely seen words in today's grid.
well, I still have 331 left but have found some
clue for ul6 please?
think ireland lindy
ul + last four of not brother
thank you
yeah, I think we've had the ireland one before and questioned why it wasn't a proper noun
no idea how that relates to ireland
I shall have to google
I can't figure out bea's clue so maybe there are 2 UL6? there is a region of Ireland.
no, just one
bea clued the same word carla
only one ul6
oh, duh.
wow...hello all....
hey pen
ntpn: great american band leader
Take a flotation device when you plunge in, pen.
will do, thanks...
UL is one of the four provinces in Ireland, Mu 7/36 is another one of them. If this grid was any bigger, we'd probably have Leinster and Connaught.
funny that they are not proper nouns soodle
Hww is the new grandbaby, soodle?
Just adorable, Bea. I've only seen him by video link, but he is a smasher. :-)
Congrats, again.
guess nobody is up on american bandleaders? also composed numerous marches played whenever there is a marching band and invented an instrument for the marching band
I assume that means smashing good looks?
sousa?
Sousa
gold star, carla
and bea
He invented the Sousaphone
and all together now ... be kind to our fine feathered friends...
I missed your question.
for a duck may be somebody's mother
Yep, Carla. Smashing good looks. Clearly inherited from his maternal grandma
obviously!
Man, there are a buttload of S's...
I may just be shooting for half on each tile today
really tough going - 128 left and I still need 7 x24 and 8 x4
273 left here
And there's my plant...<sigh>
wow, just need 1 on first R to get half and can't
got 2!
There is a 7/8 combo in the top R
my 2 were a 6/7, pretty good for me
one of those sets is a 6/7/7 carla
eek, how are there 24 S's on the top?
ooh, found a 7/8 in the S
has anyone complained yet today about hoser?
so I'm looking for an r? 7-8 and an s? 7-8
To myself.
I believe so nan
ri? re? ru? se? su?
SE7/28 and pl
The r combo is re 7/8

Thanks, Carla.

er 7/36
ty...
is that a regular word?
that er7 is a plant new word for me
type of herb
clue, pls
er+vowel and most of a type of eye drops
er + flightless bird + half of an asian grain
better clue nan
ok, would never have gotten that, thanks
ty, nan....never heard of it...
ty
and ty, peri....
half way through the list and it is still slow going
I never think of plants that do not have culinary or fragrance purposes herbs. You can make glue with that one though. Otherwise, it is poisonous.
yuck....
128 here...
mu 6 following the pack animals please?
don't think i have that yet...
maybe those who ponder?
don't think so , amelu -- this is a 6-7 combo I think and directly after the pack animals
♫♪You just keep on mu4'n me, until you mu4 me up♪♫
no idea what that is molly
I didn't expect you to know Bill Withers Nan
and there is an mu 7-8 as well
the multan of swat
oh - thought you were giving a clue
found the 7-8
found the mu 7/8 but not the mu 6...
same here pen
name that harry potter spell!
found the 6
Pack animal + B Pack animal + short thanks
ends in airport times
ty, nan...
You Harry Potter cult people are amazing. I read the books but do not remember all the spells.
there is a 7 too in case anyone else didn't notice
i got the mu 7/8....
and the pl of the 6...
I think Pen noticed. She said she got the 7/8
that one they used a lot, it turns the wand into a flashlight (or torch for our british friends)
this is a 6/7 I don't have the 7/8
do you want a clue?>..
haven't really looked yet for it, but thanks. still working on first pass here
ok...
haven't officially made it to the M yet, just started the O
we work differently.. ;o)
108 here...
well I'm usually more methodical but been jumping around a bit today. that happens on the big ones.
Oh damn Pen, who knew that was a real word?
which one?
I mean other than a proper noun
i just guessed... ;o)
oh, turns out I have the M7/8 because soodle pointed it out earlier.
Now I see why people have been saying this grid is a bitch. Both mu7/8 are out there
105 now...
I guess my clue blurting sign isn't working : D
oh, so I still need another mu7/8?
you can always turn the chat off, molly
no one can read your sign unless they click your profile
and who's blurting?
yes and both mu 7-8's have the same values
thought I had it but that was just another 6/7
I do turn the chat off Nan. A lot.
so there are two mu 7/8 combos?
I have a Mu 8 that is the name of one of my favorite childhood shows
that's what I heard
that's what I have cheryl
Carla I thought you said you got that one from Soodle's statment
do you want a clue for the others?
it's the same one, multiple irish provinces = the tv show
do you want a clue for the other 7-8 combo?
yes please
begins like the eye drop brand and ends with consume(s)
ty, nan...
thanks, thought I tried that
i need a break....bbl for my last 100....ugh... bye all...
just have 17 left
189 here
and the mu8 theme song stuck in my head
that was a slog...I had more than 100 words left when I went to the list..so many new words
yes - I've found a lot of new words as well since I listed
thanks Nan
I can't get the MU8! I know it's staring me in the face!
nan, just clued one. the other is an old black and white tv show, or irish provinces
au 6/24 please?
fancy word for someone who writes a book?
or filmmaker
and thanks
the MU7/8 combo I have is a kind of cheese, more or less, in addition to being a 60s tv show
no idea on the author/filmmaker
looks french, you usually get those
clued at 12:59 joy
not this time, carla
not sure how to clue - only 2/6 consonants
3/4 of short word for car + 3/4 of money overseas
end like not-professional athletes
ty hurshy and carla
*!*~*!* last word (close your eyes Molly) was Captain Nemo's ship - don't know how I missed that!
any clues wanted before I leave?
no thanks, still haven't made it through
:O smush doesn't count :O
tried it too

hagd everyone - stay safe :)
thanks, you too
Ds Demolished!

no, that's all I have
od 5/6
thx, amelu
thanks amelu!
yvw!
phantom blemish
i learned two new words last night whilst reading
one of them i really really really want to get a chance to use in scrabble
quincunx
50 to go!
Oh I am definitely remembering quincunx. Imagine that on a triple word score. Yowza
exactly!
and it is a cool word anyway. it refers to the arrangement of five things with one at each corner of a square and one in the center, such as the dots on the 5 side of a die
it is a neat word
157 to go here
but I did go food shopping and I just made a fish stew
wow awesome!
does it have a creamy base?
the fish stew is very easy to make, all in one pot
tomato base.
I can put the recipe in my profile if you or anyone else is interested
is is very good
yeah soups and stews and casseroles, i like one pot or one-dish things
I will do it but not today
this grid is not too bad but very long. I will try to finish but need another break
I do too, hursh. most of what I cook are one pot
given the number of words, i wonder if doing it while stoned would help
it might
*Gets the Cheetos and Sun Chips for Hurshy
sh8 please
nm
150 left bbl
I have made it to 101
as usual the B is a pain in the butt
yeah several weird ones
Name that proper noun...censored, but formerly well loved Uncle of stories
Remus
also Romulus' twin, also Prof. Lupin of Harry Potter
hurshy, you missed my name that harry potter spell earlier
lumos!
✅✅✅
Ding! Ding! Hurshy gets a bouquet of carnations.
done with first half of the alphabet! 24 words to go
done. listed with 50 to go and had no regrets.
have made it to 92
Remus Lupin in today's grid, lumos in yesterday's, in keeping with my theory that there is always at least one Harry Potter-related word in the grid
lumos is here today too
🧨
🧙â€â™€ï¸
And the Harry Potter beat goes on and on and on
I just found an MO7,8!
I have a set. no idea if there's another
Only one mo7/8

I have 3 re7 but can't make 8s out of any of them
Are you two looking for get on a horse again, plural?
resaddles?
and thanks
74 left.
Saddling is not getting on a horse and there are no double d's
I was thinking saddle up!
Ive been to the desert on a horse with no name...
Well, I could have given a dirty clue, but Ru isn't here to appreciate it.
One of the worst songs ever, Bea
Are you cluing the re8? Get on the horse again.
Yes or the breeding dog had to position himself again
or you plug a hard drive or flash drive in again. but I'm sure that predates enable.
Since when is doing that the word that comes before Rushmore?
well, I know un+ that is what you're supposed to do before removing the USB cord from your computer
I think the sex clues would have been more fun. : D
I just found a bone
But no boner I bet : D
LOL!

i listed at 81 and I don't regret it....i was babble blind...
lol
I have 130ish left
if it is no longer fun, list...
good rule.
Everyone repeat after me.,,using the list is nothing to be ashamed of.
it's not about being ashamed, it's about having an extra challenge. I get a little thrill if I complete a grid without listing
I use the list if I feel like it and then like today, I don't.
i am done....
nice
clue for the BR7?
nice work, pen!
ty...br 7 starts with the same four letters with an adjective ending...
