ooh more birdies
barnyard birds and vee flyers so far
and yet another species emerges
de7
(which makes it d7 x 2)
and another barnyard flock, mammals!
is the de8 called?
yup
sorry freeps
it is now :)
I forgive you... this time. :-)
gr8 called?
no!
not seeing anything more -- good night everyoen
night, nan
re8 called?
yup
a simple past tense ?? not the way I was taught grammar
not a word I've ever seen in the wild, as they say. (But this grid has way fewer of those than yesterday's, so there's that!)
I word you might use if you were telling a story about having to break somebody out of jail twice
Good clue!
Lucked out....whew....tornado passed north of me
Hi, Une - Crazy night! Glad you are ok
Hi all - glad you missed the tornado! Does anyone have stats, please, for the E in the second row?
looks like sunrise might show a lot of destruction
news is saying at least 50 dead in Kentucky alone ?!
Yes, possibly 100 dead in KY :-(
Matty er.4/6
Matty. then you have the sword and plural .
Record breaking tornado in KY -- 4 touched down but the most powerful one touched down and stayed on the ground for over 200 miles!
Tornadoes... terrifying ..
other States will be reporting soon as sun comes up
Amazon warehouse full of workers collapsed in Illinois
how sad. why are there always disasters just before christmas? Thoughts go out to all the families
Une, did you get any of the storm?
We had heavy rain and lots of thunder and lightning but the tornado headed for downtown Nashville ended up veering north of us......very lucky
just missed us here (North Texas) but arkansas got nailed
I know :-(
phantom: those things that pull Santa's sleigh
phantom: danger
good morning all. help with de8 please
do you have the 7? if yes plural it
Hi Peri. de8 - drives you mad, perhaps away from the farm?
which d does it start with pls
second row
top D :)
got it thanks
Yay!
darn
ades
this is a pretty nice grid
Good morning. Yes, I started 10 minutes ago and am enjoying the grid.
morning scrabs :)
How are the cats?
yes, am actually graying tiles on first pass
cats are good
Go Carla, go!
lol, didn't see scrabbs's cat question and was like, what does that have to do with gray tiles?
I love hearing about hurshy's cats.
Rilla did a cute thing one day where she had her tail draped over her arm so she could clean the tip of it
Tail-cleaning is so important.
Good morning, friends.
morning, bea :)
hey bea!
Hi Bea
well I gotta get coffee and start breakfast. BRB. 48 left still. no HOET yet thanks to 4th row S.
really? that's the S i have been able to grey out
nm, HOET!
well I only have 6 now. just tried sensei. again.
oh, found a car.
there's a very dr. seuss-ish sn6/21
And of course, it's a Scot word
If you put a word within a word in the chat, is that PB worthy? (Carla)
What's happenin'. Molly?
i'd say not if it's so etymologically unrelated as that
Nice to have you back Bea. Nice $10 word Hurshy.
:)
ok, back with coffee. those words are so unrelated I was like, what is she talking about
Yes, but technically (not etymologically) you put se6/10 in the chat. This place is full of the pedantic. : D
well, if we're being pedantic, I think you mean se5/10 😜
I do, typo
what'd you call me?
I feel like the gr7 and 8 should be painfully obvious, but I'm just not seeing it. May I please have a wee clue?
oh, I will look
I just still refuse to believe enable doesn't allow sensei and i've been playing this game for a decade
No matter. The PB popularity has dwindled in cancel culture. It offends the sensitive.
I'm quite certain those two things are as unrelated as pigeons and fruitcake, molly
matty, I did find a gr5/6 I'd missed but I guess I need a wee clue as well.
I am not saying they are related. I am saying that she put a word, se5/10 in the chat.
I'm talking about the PB and "cancel culture"
but I didn't really, I put se6 in the chat
gr7 and 8 are not obvious. It is a rock
Oh no, those are very related. Cancel culture is all about the sensitive.
if you say so, but that still has nothing to do with the pb
still trying to find a dr seuss scottish sn6 too
and no idea about these rocks
There are people who have been offended by being sent to the PB, even though it has always been in fun.
I enjoy being in the PB.
I have the SN, Carla - want a clue? (if I can)
sure, thx
I'm not getting the rocks reference - must be a clue I missed!
bea said the gr7/8 are not obvious and are rocks
eh, sometimes it's how one enforces those fun rules. I like the PB (and still put myself in the PB) but tone is hard over the chat. I don't think anyone's... stopped the PB?
sensei is a word. My SIL named his company sensei in honor of an aunt who taught him a lot. Hello to all
hello!
Hi Aloy.
I'm still looking for those Gs
gr7 is a form of granite
aloy!
I figured, but I can't say I know how to spell it haha
It sounds a bit like a sound you make when exasperated (as this conversation is clearly doing to a few people) - - it's an sn/61 ending in an aspirated command to be quiet
hah, thanks matty
Think famous Purdue quarterback for the gr words, then extend
ah, thanks. was going the other way.
alas, football is not my thing
Um...I have no chance of knowing a famous quarterback, from Purdue or anywhere else! :D
oh geez, was this QB before I was born and did he play NFL? otherwise, not a chance.
Wow, sorry. Didj
Didn't mean to exasperate people
can someone tell me what the gr7 point total is? P&TY
26
36
Well, I found it by looking at Wiki for granite!
sorry
It's G plus the German word for 'to travel'
🤣
🤣
see, that works! thanks matty
I will just look it up, but thanks to all.
for some reason enable thinks that it is spelled sansei, that is the problem
I looked at the 7-letter word list.
yeah, enable is dead wrong there
You know what Nan's response to that clue would be : D
No? What would Nan's response be?
well i looked up the german word for travel and got it, now i have all the 8s!
hi, babblers
She's not fond of foreign language clues
Good morning, welki.
no that's me
Hello over there, welki!
hi welki
for those who don't know german, think of the storck chocolate candy and reverse the vowels.
Nan wouldn't have liked my clue either since it involved football : D
To each her own - pop culture or sports related clues don't usually help me, but language or geek clues often do - we're all unique in our own ways
I have a much easier time with foreign language clues that any popular culture before eh 1995
so you are talking about Bob? I think that was his first name.
and college sports are right out
Yes Bob. Your uncle to the Brits
...and Fanny's your aunt
I have heard of him of course but couldn't think of how to spell it exactly.
75 left and I am done. Enjoy the day.
ok, now just need one O to finish top row.
have a great day, Scrabbs
bye scrabbs, have a good one.
I think if a Brit called their Aunt Fanny, they might get slapped
hah, I remembered the Deutsch for travel.. took a while
True - but the whole idiom goes 'Bob's your uncle and Fanny's my aunt' (I think)
Carla, it's a 7
methinks matty was doing a saying from there
and I bet there's a few Fannies who happen to also be aunts :)
thanks, bea. 'tis
duh, got it.
top row gray!
Fanny used to be a reasonably common British name - the most famous being Fanny Cradock (though her real name was Phyllis - go figure)
missing hego.. she has the tiara today
<----wonders if bea is good enough to guess which D out of 21 I'm missing
I mean, there are plenty of Richards who go by Dick so it's not like it's unprecedented
found the D!
good cause i didn't know what to guess
unexpected pl of a stupid 4
Good. Me either, hurshy.
I know some Richards who should go by Dick
man, I always forget the pe6 bird
well I guess I do too since I don't have one
Poor girl...Always over shadowed by the cock.
Vegetable female chicken
ah, thanks, bea
Not going there Bea
there are, in fact, a lot of cocks in the grid today
now need 1 F to finish 1st col
Ru would
Haven't made it to the F's yet.
i know they've been poking up at us all day
perhaps you need fe 5/16
ru is here, why is he hiding right now. seems he would definitely come out of the woodwork.
I do not have one, so perhaps you are right!
1st col gray!
you probably have the two words that flank that fe5
read the def for that fe5...who wrote that?
oh, never mind! you found it, yay
hmm, I'm missing one 8
I only have three
I have D, E, F, and G
Me too. The ones I have are thus: The insane person was sent to prison, but first his sister helped him escape; he was recaptured but his brother broke him out again. Thus he exited the establishment, taking with him some granite.
I need 1 too
(I'm missing the F, it seems)
I have the same 4, mael
re8
I've sort of clued it in my whimsical story below :)
aha, that must be my last R then
I still need a lot of R's so it makes you-know-what it's in there
Found my last 8 (the Fi) Just 41 more words to go ;)
down to 31 here
got it, thanks matty
I'm half way. Time to make things happen. Back to finish this afternoon.
bye bea
re5/16. what an odd choice for enable when they're so willy-nilly on the do again words
fyi, you can't fancy up fescue by spelling it fesque :)
FW! have a great day everyone
haha
well done, mael. still 28 left here.
Congrats mael!
wtg mael, enjoy your day
well of course I forgot to make the aforementioned bird plural
hello all....
pen!
okay, hurshy...what's my missing P?
hi pen
hi carla, pen....
back.. keep getting interrupted. Hi penquis..
hi aloy...
hah! I said hi to myself! Perhaps I am not awake yet... :o|
meant to say hi welki....
🤣I didn't even notice
lol pen
or you've become narcissistic pen :D
is welki your alter ego?
or maybe my personality is starting to split... :o0
understood when you posted it :)
a welki in Canadian is a Pen
in a lobster sort of way, carla
the both have a crustacean sense of humor hokie
any SQ words? still struggling with the S's. need 5 + 4 + 3
and neither of them get very crabby here
that's true
There's one. It's weird. sq5/20
ty matty
that is weird, thanks
is the RE8 from top or bottom R?
Bottom. You could say it's to break someone out of prison again...
nm
and I did read your cute story earlier but wasn't sure where you were going with it.
Heh. Trying to use the four 8s I had (I have the last now) in a fun(ish) way :)
no, I knew that's what you were doing, but couldn't get the re8 with the story is what I meant
Aaah, fair enough! I didn't say it was any good :)
it was!
FYI - synque is not a fancy way to spell sync
good to know - thanks! :D
ooh, found the tuna.. it was a fish, lol
tuna stats?
re6.30 and pl
you're thinking of yellow fin tuna aloy.. re6 is a minnow
oops.. ty ruru

it is.. now we just wait for your albacore.. er.. i mean encore
lol, give yourself a point!
def. a groan
Scarlet fish limb, Carla.
good clue matty
duh, thanks. should have read ru's original correction closer
he basically gave it away 😜

8!
22 left here, including 2 7s

aloy's having trouble with me sardine-ic sense of humor
one of them is si7.36
well, I'm missing 3 from that S so that sounds right
my (oops)
oh geez, the groan machine is whirling
That S is seriously weird as well (the si7)
well, I'm trying some really weird letter combos
monkey time
Um - a mortal or venial bad deed, with a misspelling of a trig function
is it a plural, matty?
No
got it. weird.

LOL, it's scottish

annoyed about some I missed yesterday (as usual)
ooh, found the other pangram

yes... center letter is tough....
carla, I agree. u with no n
could make lots of Bee words with an N....
good morning all :)
hi nan...
darn - it still won't accept my name as a word

thx, pen!
re 8/55....
finessed
yw...
oops!
yup...got a second one....
anyone want to guess my last three words?....one five and two sixes....F S S ....
Well if your F is a 6, that gives me a direction to look
it's either a six or a five...
I know. I have 3 F5s, no F6s, and I’m only missing 2.
well i only have two F 5s, so I am assuming that is what i am missing....
no, that isn't true...i do have three F five words....
i have one F 6 word...
I have a bunch of S6s that pretty much all involve suffixes. You might check for missed endings
i will do that, ty....
Off to look for an F6 then. Ty too!
yw...
remember your own advice... ;o)
All my fives already have endings, heh. Maybe I’m looking for a 5/6 pair
i only have one F 6 word and that has an ending...
Found that I think
My last was another 5, 4 total F5s
found my last F....
four F 5s and one F 6...
Hooray!
ty, now I have only two S 6 words to find...
Most of the words I have left to find are S words today
well there are 65 of those...
clue for the gr8?
it rhymes with Jackie G. who used to be one of the Honeymooners....just change the second letter and the last two vowels....awful clue....that is for the gr 7....the 8 is a pl....
bad clue or not, i got it. thx!
yw...i did double check it to make sure it worked.. ;o)
i am an expert at word guessing games, so i m good at deciphering clues.
that top left a is giving me trouble. any help beside the god of war?
a 5 ends with a writing implement....
i knew there was one with that letter in it.
i am done....listed for the last two....
one i have never seen, I don't think, and the other i have seen, but rarely....glad to be done...
well i am heading out....goodnight all....
hi all, ker-sploosh
nbt, nbs, more than 2/3 done, woot
may i have clues for the first re 7 32, and the re 8 55?
Re7/32 is colorful, the 8/55 hopped again
don't have those yet, looking
thanks, wake, looking harder now LOL
oh, oh, oh - thanks windingwake :))) so tangled in re's
My last 3 are two 6 and a 7, all towards the end of S. There were a lot of re’s
they're making me so crazy.
At least there are a bunch of little tiles so you can take breaks from banging on them
and then i get a clue (tx again) and I can't believe I didn't see it.
I hate when the hard ones were obvious
oy, got the re8 finally, thanks again
Anytime. Also fireworks! The monkeys were busy in the sp’s
woo hoo windingwake !!!!
wireworks, night all
Re8/55 please?
Une - re8.55 - helped to escape from jail again? Or perhaps made a mattress or sofa more comfy?
Or even leapt out at again.
I'm back for a while, though I finished the grid hours ago, to give clues if anyone out there still needs them. Am up, keeping an eye on poorly partner to make sure he's okay throughout the night.
hey Jacula. other half?? poorly ? did you have your next vax?
Yes, we've had 3 now. But his ailment is digestive system based. Got to go for a moment, he's just got up and had to go to the loo urgently and is throwing up again. I assure you it's nothing to do with my cooking. He's been like this for a couple of weeks now on and off.
I'm thinking it might be gall bladder based, from my own experience before I had to have mine removed aome years ago. His mum is waiting and half-starving to death, to have hers removed at present.
He's been back down, had one mouthful of coffee and had to go back up to the bathroom again. I've told him to go back to bed!
If this escalates much further I might have to do something I've never done in my life before... ring 999 for an ambulance. Having said that there could be up to an 8-hour wait before one arrives... even if he was having a heart attack, which, thank God, he isn't.
He seems to have taken my advice. All is quiet upstairs again for now.
Sorry Jacula - i think dehydration would be a concern now if he can't keep anything down
He's got water, ursh. I made sure of that hours ago.x
and the water stays down ?
Sadlym no, Ursh.
Oh dear, Jacula, you must be worried sick.
I am. But I really do think he's having a a minor gall bladder stone attack. Not nice, but a warning.
But he's a trucker, out on the road all week and doesn't always stick to the healthy meals I make him. Sometimes he eats from roadside places and that has struck him down once before for 6 weeks with some horrible form of food poisoning! Hope it's not that again!
