you know that chopped meat stuff, four letters, starts with s -- isn't that word in Dr. God's book?
it's capitalized
aha. thanks.
me6/7
It is in the newer Enable dictionary, and for some reason now the message you get now if you try it is "does not exist in the puzzle", even if it does
yes, exactly that -- thanks, Gillie, I thought I was losing it.
the rumor I heard is that Dr. God tried to update Babble with the new enable dictionary and something went wrong.

The ec6?
come
yes, the ec6
oops - not sure how the cursor got here
It happens to all of us, Chris.
I found the ec6 after not skirting around the high-point tile.
what's funny is I didn't see the word but saw the 2nd and 3rd letters together and typed it just in case.
54 left and I need a break--laundry needs to get finished and I need to do a long hike.
going mt. biking here and I cut my finger making breakfast so gotta go find some bandaids somewhere. TTFN
have a good day, scrabs....
Bye

*squeal* The sun just came out.

is the i word weird or am i just being thick?
getting nowhere....taking a break....bbl....bye all....
it's IP 7 and it's weird...some kind of flowering plant....i don't have it....
ip7
its a plant
ok cool
I used morewords. There's no monkeying that sucker!
yeah
starts with a stock market abbreviation, ends with three different vowels
ditto champ
but it reminds me of that song, the girl from ip......
Well yeah, I can sorta see that...
with dropping the n and rearranging a bit
in SA small informal sellers of goods have a business called a spaza sh**
neat
stats for the lone E please
there are two lone E :D
ec6/39 and em5/12
tx I had the ec looking for em
aarrghh easy one should have seen that
Haha! I had the em not the skin condition one. Thanks.
how about the right-hand o?
I have an OC 4 from there.
thanks
i think it is oo4
there are 2 oo4 from the upper o
ah but another from the lower, yes, thank you!
looking for a nudge for either of the ca6
then i guess i am looking for the same nudge
Sorry do not have them either.
ca 6/25 like a small village
sorry 6/24
thanks!
there is a funny vernacular ca8 here too lol
oh, I just found one that looks like a tumah
but it's not, it's fungi related
if i had any idea what a tumah is, other than a tumor in boston
not sure what a small village is like
haven't you seen that movie with Arnold saying "it's not a tumah"
the small village is also like the protagonist of a shakespearean play set in denmark
I wondered if anyone else thought of that carla!
kindergarten cop?
i haven't really watched any movies with arnold in them other than that batman one where he played mr freeze
I'm not even sure I've seen it but the scene is kinda famous
or well-known I should say
is this tumah thing another ca6, or something else?
BBL
well, leaving now. I don't have the small village ca6. this is a ca6/24
it only rhymes with the small village
the first letter is different
Still do not have either ca 6. I am almost at tyhe end of my first run with 89 words found haha!
slag
slags
sure, insult us why don't you
Oh my good grief so sorry everyone
oops
At least Dan2bit put a word into the chat log also so I do not feel as bad as I did haha!
zoom, it's ok, I had those.... everybody does it sometime
yep pb for me
I was happy to see a conquerable (not a real word) puzzle today. Have to leave in a bit to take grandson to his basketball game and take 5 year old with me. Haven't adjusted to moving to Nashville area in some ways, but love being with these grands.
really? to me this is a really icky grid lol
Hope you have a nice time, Sophie!
Must admit I am struggling with this grid also, Hurshy.
Still have 48 words to find. Think I will go and have a cup of tea and a bar of chocolate. Back later.
oh just remembered an odd te6/7 alt sp that we have sometimes
or no, maybe that is the only spelling of it
point is, i got me some words
anyone know whether there are any ph words?
none hursh
and hopefully no ps or py either?
p is such a silly letter
3 x pa 1 pi 6 x po
ok i gotta hit the po then
tx
want a hint?
i found 2 more, just need one po now
Oh I bet she can find them
See
you're right, too early in the day for clues
well so many things go into whether it is a good time for clues. not just time of day, but how bad a day you're having and stuff too
rats, can't spell kazoo with a c
oho, just remembered a weird compound to6/7
Too late, Ru called that earlier
well i wasn't so much calling it as just kinda sharing my happiness that i found it
clues for the lone I and the lone E?
there are two lone E, em5/12 and ec6/39
the i is just weird, ip7/36
i was saying that it reminds me of that song the girl from ip...... but without the n and like rearranging a bit
hurshy, good clue
it's very VOWELLY
back later for the other 48....thanks for all of the hints
Anyone else having issues with the sp6 reformed pork meat? Says it isn't in the puzzle and it really is!
the sp4 is definitely a trademark
but it's also the email junk that clogs up your inbox
yes, by way of a famous Monty Python skit
Hormel tried to combat that, but there was nobody to sue.
finally found the first ca6 - also very vowelly
de 7/36, pls
help with ec6/39 pls

oh lord, that would make me grumpy too
Hi everyone...I am totally not getting that TE6 clue.
nan, me6 ends in shortened word for how many units are in food. and first syllable has the high pt tile
ME 6 is one of my favorite drinks. It's from southern Mexico.
was there a te6 clue?
ruru said "thanks for the te 6"
someone else said it was a clue
that was me. I was being snarky that someone requested a clue and he answered with thanks for telling me about the word
ty carla - another new one
Sigh. So it wasn't a clue.
te 6: change last letter in the vessel you use to brew your afternoon beverage
one of my high school principals was named me6 but the other spelling, and I never knew it was a word
*!*~*!* ugly ugly grid
thanks for the help everyone
thanks nan!
well done, nan
was he a heavy drinker ?
on my way -- still have a little Christmas shopping to do, but don't know if it will happen today!
Trying to find a brooch or pendant in the shape of a swan (preferrably black). Only one I've found so far is on etsy - doubt it would arrive in time for Christmas.
we did have a heavy drinking principal but it wasn't this one
Could someone tell me what the other two 7s are, since I don't want to list yet? I have DE, IP, ME, and TE.
well I didn't try the TE. LOL
TO
TO7 is a pl of a compound word
ca 7 - what hitchcock did in most of his movies
would not have thought to try that, thx
I still don't have that other ca6/24 that sounds like a small village or something from a shakespeare play.
a smaller version of King Arthur's domain?
or a small photographic device
got it, thanks all
11/17 left are 4's. guess I should busy working on those.
ty for the CO; I had the 5 but also didn't think to try the 7.
bye everyone - enjoy the rest of your day :)
bye nan, you too. PS - 70 degrees here today. sorry you have snow.
Tx for ec6!
30 words left and I think I'm going to list.
Every time I say that I feel like I should lean to one side.🤣🤣
Forgot to thank you for the TO7 carla
no probs
down to 7 now - 5 are 4's!
kinda baffled since I just tried to make 4s on all of them.
clue for the first CA6 -- not the small camera/Shakespeare one
CA + another two vowels + two lettered word for mother.
dromedary
oh, weird. thanks, zooz
ty zooz, that's a strange word
Use the C next to the Z and go down first.
Welcome, DC I was just passing. Happy babbling everyone!
thanks seain for the dromedary
stats for the i please?
IP 7, 36
I got distracted, soryr
sorry even
why are you sorry?
I was here and then clues were requested and I didn't respond so I didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. I realize as Molly likes to point out all the time that others gave clues and I don't have to be here, but I was literally just posting right before.
Still, you don't have to apologize. You do your fair share of clueing, IMO
FW for me!
finally found a 4! 6 total words left. 4-1-1
well done!
ooh, 5!
My last word was the ZO4, which I can't believe I missed the first time through, considering what I do all day.
4!
ha!
Need any clues, carla or anyone else?
maybe you thought of it as a proper noun
I have M P C D left. 2-1-1. if you want to guess any of those...
there are 3 C6s. Do you have them all?
only one 6 for each of the other letters
I do have 3 c6's and the m6 I know of. will check the P and D, thanks.
ok, looks like it's the P
ok, gotta go. Hasta manana
adios
stats for the Y?
YO 4/8 and pl.
te 6/27, pls
it's like the thing you use to make an afternoon drink but change the last letter
ty carla
I stole nan's clue from earlier
po 6/27, pls
what are the Y stats, please?
Indian practice
thanks
yvw jane
po 6/27, pls
it's like the rough stone you can slough dead skin off with except you change the vowels
or po+ what you spray in someone's face in self defense
Ooooh...thank you! Just came back for my last 3 and that was one of them.
yeah, 'twas in my last 3 too
Did anyone give Zo4 a tiara?
Yikes. Last comment is 2 hours ago. Just came back from this am to try on the last 36. Anyone available for clues?
can clue for a few
how about EC 6 ,,,,, is it a common word I'll be mad about because I didn't see it
not common - it's a skin condition, uses the high point tile
thanks, got it
27 now
go Sophie go
how was the basketball and the grands, sophie?
great..... thanks......Autumn is much better this year...it's her second year to play....she's in second grade....they won by a lot.....Lukas, in 4th grade, had to go into overtime,,,, apparently, only 1 minute....they won by 1.... a nail biter!!!
ok, now I'm stuck on ME6.... if it's a common word, let me know and I'll struggle on for a while
not common for me at all, but I think ec6 is common
anyhoo, ends in low * food
yes, got it
common if you're into peyote I guess
wow, never would have gotten that one,,, thanks carla
one of my boys played basketball one year (like 1st grade) and it was excruciating. no one on the team would shoot.
for some reason I just tried the me6 this morning without knowing of its existence and it magically took.
I think they should have signed up the 5 yr old....they get to lower the goals a little
but both my boys really got into basketball as teenagers and like to play each other and with friends now. we always point out how we tried to get them to play rec bball as kids but they refused.
19 left
what age are your boys now
my new picture is my 2 grand daughters....Autumn, the basketball player, soccer player, dancer on the right....Kathyrn, Charleston SC, cousin, only does competitive swim....we all got together Thanksgiving
nice! my boys are 21 and 19 now
ooooo, I'm and oldster..... mine are in their 30s
they look like sisters
they both kind of look like their dads.... and they're both going to need braces.... ok, for the 8 year old,,,, her mom's a dentist
mine did them and both had teeth shift back and need them again. oh well, they can do it if they want.
back to find my last 40....
good luck I have 18 left, but I'm struggling
oh i listed....too late in the day for more frustration.... ;o)
pen! I made it to 3 left before listing, but got a few from chat
really struggling with spelling bee though
you did very well!.....i made it to Genius and a couple more words today...
cannot find the pangram and only at Great
whats coming tomorrow
grid size, IG? I will guess 256
do you want a hint?
feels like we are due for a mega grid
no, I'll just be angry tomorrow when I read the answer ðŸ˜
yes, it does....
I could use a hint on the DE7 please
BTW, what is baobab?
DE + what teachers have
a tree...
i used to read a story to students about it....
an African tree..... it's a third grade book
thanks carla,,,,duh
just confused why it was included in spelling bee
my story was in a listening comprehension test....
watching its a wonderfful life
watching football...

i hate the Cs....
upset
No horse in thr race
down to 10
29 here...
lost some words from this morning ....
ugh
5 left..... all starting with C....think I'm hating Cs also
c's are often the worst
would you like any clues (c used there)
ok, I give up CO 5, word 11....am I going to be mad?
is the first CA 6/24 an ordinary word?.....it's my last word...
dunno....it comes after the 5 I asked about....maybe plural of mine?
not unless you're into fungi that looks more like a tumor
ah....no.....
co 5 might be the one that is an alt spelling of an animal....
the co5, there are several, what points total?
only 12
i would take a clue for the fungi....
sophie, I think you are looking for the aussie greeting
or the co 5 could be the one that is french for a person of specific nobility....
c + lots o vowels
ends in the tumor suffix
pen, ca + vowels + not pa
thank you carla!
no prob!
got it....ty.....i tried something similar....i am done....
well done
ty....listing helped... ;o)
well i am heading out....goodnight all....
thanks again, Carla, down to 3....all C from the second column..... getting some fruit to eat....maybe that will inspire me....I refuse to quit with just 3!!! oh goodness it's not even 8pm.... seems like it should be much later,,,, have I mentioned how much I hate this time change, even more than the letter C
good night!
I will check back in if you want more clues
just stumbled onto 2 more, down to a CA6
the first or second one?
the 2nd one rhymes with a shakespeare title
Holy Smokes!!!!
thanks Dan!
woo hoo
My fireworks tonight are definitely a group effort!
huzzah!
forsooth!
umm spam does not exist in the puzzle?
it's a legendary story, cheryl
as in , babble legend
lol
it was not a word when the enable list was created (was a brand name - proper noun). supposedly someone asked dr. god (babble creator) to add it and he did but it didn't really work so now it says it's not in the puzzle instead of saying it's not in the dictionary, like other unaccepted words.
got you
but yes, it does exist in the puzzle, you aren't seeing things.
good to know
165 next grid
