I was just thinking that I was too early or too late. :)
'morning, everyone
morning all! foot of snow overnight here...
ugh you can have it saan
but
I think it comes here tonight
morning welki
it's the sparkly kind if that helps
haha not much! i still have to shovel it off my sidewalk
Hi all. Any clues for the top corner F word? Ty. Stats too please
don't have it yet mkg
Ok ty anyway.
just started, i don't have it either
DC getting more snow? Wow. I am returning on the 11th. Hope i can get home.
Jmcnrick, where do you live in DC? I live in the burbs. In Potomac marlyand
I live in NW DC. I don't think it will be as much as earlier, but the ice after was the worse part. Made me glad I am pretty much in my house all the time now waiting out omicron
Well i am stuck so will take a break. No 7s and need that f word…….back later.
bye mkg
hello all
hi aslindy
hi lindy
how is everyone today?
I am back. I am a realtor rick, so i am out and about. I swim every day so go to the pool. Hope omicron doesnt hit you.
i really should stop reading the news
Everyone needs a day or so not to read any news. And you then realize you missed nothing.
Darn that top corner F word is not coming to me. Darn.
Big snow headed our way!
*singing from white christmas* snow... snow... snow... snow... snow!!!
*puts hands on ears and sticks head in sand*
you do not like that song? even if you don't like snow, it's a great song
I didn't realize Nashwille got this much snow.
I just don't want to think about it. No, the song is a great song.
fu7,, fu + if you spill wine on your shirt, you have a *****, rearrange the letters
ty bubba
thank you bubba
i saw bubba's clue and thought he was cursing lol
haha shirl
I sew a lot and never saw that word before. Me thinks it is dated
i mean that's what i do what i spill stuff
OIC! good point
I do too, shirl. And then Siri makes some rude remark.
Is the SP7 a 'normal' word?
is siri telling you to wash your mouth out?
She usually says, not again or that figures.
sufe
sp7 is not normal
It is part of the brain
sp + contact ***se + two vowels
thanks bea!
yw
I am not getting the middle of that clue
What I put in my eye so I can see.
oh. but it doesn't end with se.
I guess it should be ***s
You are correct. Sorry for the confusion.
got it now, thank you. :)
Thank you - got it!

ty bzzn
I must take my leave. Driving to the Big City for appointments.
bye bzzn
where's the dark mode on this thing? my eyes are bugging out today
sadly, that's not a thing
i wonder how much longer i can play this on my device
i will pray to Dr. God for some intervention then
i was chatting with a friend and he said that this would not be too difficult to "redo" for modern devices
can you adjust the brightness on your screen?
I am wearing blue glasses to reduce the strain myself
it helps a little to dim the screen, but maybe i should go fetch my glasses
JMC is correct. If ou go into your computer's settings you can adjust the screen brightness. Same as your phone.
turns out i have probably rarely adjusted brightness, it was on full blast
wonder what my eye doc would say, staring into the sun each day for so many hours
*beams with pride for being right*
please don't beam too brightly :)
sorry, I will tone it down!
i'm stuck on the first one, corner F, anyone have it?
fu 7/44
what, it's not funpits? that ought to be the name of those ball pits at chuck-e-cheese
if only there were an r i could get it
if there were an r it would be fustier
ooh ooh i was on the right track, got it now
got it too, thanks hursh
Or we could just type the word in the chat : D
that never happens 0:D
still took me like 20 tries to get it
cocoa time
bring some to pour into my coffee hursh
k
haha as a cat lover i just tried a un5 that pertains to them, not at all thinking it would work, but it did
thanks
proving once again how stupid enable is with the un's and re's
has anyone tried that wordle?
wow, never would have thought that was a word
wordle? is that another game?
ty hursh
yes, I think the link is short enough.
https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle\n/
so take off that \n/ at the end
i know :)
basically you have 5 guesses to get the word of the day
so it's like mastermind, that game with the colored pegs, but with letters/words instead. cool
I know you know, but others might not
I have heard it is like mastermind but I don't know that one
I just tried it and it is more logic than words to me.
got the word in 2 but that may have been luck of the draw
this is my 2nd day. got yesterday's in 3 or 4. have 1 letter in the right spot today and can't think of a word to try.
i got today's!
I also know one other letter but not where it goes
I think the game is a lot of luck
it's not that much logic, just thinking of words that use different letters than the words you already tried that you know are wrong
you gotta maximize the variety of letters you try
logically thinking of words and trying letters 😜
yes, I think it's good to start with a word with a lot of vowels
anyhoo, apparently there is a new word each day
pf4
just alerting you to its presence
ty hursh
that's a new one to me. also took me about 20 tries
if any one of those Es were an I instead, we could have impunity
when I was younger and would read me5 (restaurant) I would always think I was reading meanness.
whew! I finally monkeyed the pf
did you check the def?
ridiculous
it's just like, making a spitting noise, right?
it is alt sp of a ph word that is an interjection
actually the definition shows a completely (and more common) spelling
if you know cartoons, there was one Hong Kong Ph
why were you even trying that, hurshy?
but he spelled it the more common way
because we have it in grids and i saw it
yes
same reason i would try psst, knowing that works too
so a new babblet for me
so if I could find one more E that would be great
oh, there's one of our dwarfs
fun!
ok, HOET!
You two are like Blurtina and Blurtette
well, I knew I was in the right company
Yeah, but you are not the only two in chat
lots of people like it, though
It doesn't matter though. Blurting has become the norm. No one wants to find words on their own anymore.
meh
jmc was the only other one and she doesn't seem opposed
one can always hide the chat if one wants to be truly independent
Yes one can, and a lot of people do. Which makes chat less fun, but so it goes.
either way is fine for me. I haven't se** fireworks in years
cluing has been a big part of babble for as long as i've been playing. i don't think there was an old non-blurt norm
<===not the brightest bulb on the tree
it's always been a very collaborative game
Cluing is different from just blurting out a word because you found it.
just tuned in for a peek before breakfast. Have to say I don't like it when people throw out defs. and clues at the flip -- don't mind the calls for the 7's and 8's but no clues please.
but this isn't the flip
if a word is sufficiently weird, like pf4, i figure lots of people will not see it, and will appreciate the alert. i don't mention every word i find.
Someone blurted peri yesterday. I mean really.
and I agree, I don't like seeing words clued or offered without a clue request when I start playing so I don't look for a while
but how many times have we told peri she gets a tiara? is that the blurting?
sometimes those things are just accidents, or newer players
That is what I do too Carla. I don't look at chat until I have found all the words I think I am going to find.
you mean at the flip molly ? That is why I left.
I will remind friends of my 200 word post
I will remind friends of my 200 word post
*hic*
That was Babble history JMC
and I do disagree with hurshy saying it's always been collaborative. you know, I've read all the early chats. it was very competitive at first
There was one player last night (or maybe it was the night before) that gave a clue for everyword she found as she found it it. Most annoying.
yeah, that would be bad, at the flip especially
that would be annoying but you can ask people not to clue all the words
I did see some recently but don't rem. who the poster was that I was like, did someone ask for help on that?
I don't think I have ever laughed so hard while playing this game. And yes Nan, that was annoying.
at me or the person cluing last night (or the night before)?
I agree with Carla the clues should be given when asked for.
I think some people drunk Babble on occasion.
*adds clown shoes and hat*
No JMC at what you did. It was hysterical.
would be nice if y'all remembered when that was so I could read the chat
I blushed so hard I was sure everyone could feel it
Someone please have me committed if I start remembering dates of what was posted and when.
gosh it was years ago hokie. . .
maybe 2009?
jmc's faux pas goes down in Babble history.
I had been around long enough to know to use lickety. . .
I try to big!
I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often since LIckety added the copy/paste feature. Origami is my echo today.
it's a cautionary tale. I double check before pasting that I'm on the right screen.
as usual, i'm finding S and P the hardest
need 7+5 S and 9 P, so not that easy
I still blush a little. . .
I use expert, so have been guilty of posting one or two words when I didn't move the cursor from the chat.
speaking of clues -- pi 7? -- still haven't found it
JMC the red-faced Babbler, you'll go down in history
still need 5 7's
actually 4, I can't subtract today
need 2 more -- the pi 7 was called last night - don't know what my other missing one is
but I don't have pi7
me neither, though i just found a bunch more pe words
*adds reindeer horns*
I also do not have the pi7 - does anyone have the full stats handy?
got it
add the goose and then pl
That did it. Thanks.
ty hurshy - like the 2fers :)
i have one su7, are there other s7s?
There's an sp7 (weird one) - I don't have the SU7
I just have su7
I only have one su 7
ty matty - looking for the sp - my last one
su7 is the plural of su6 which i wouldn't have thought you could pluralize but i tried it anyway because babble
matty, the su7 is a pl adj
I shall look! I only have one su6 which cannot be pluralled as the last letter is not near the S...but looking!
a body position
guess i need whatever THAT su6 is, then
Gotya. Thanks!
su 7 is a puralized adjective
oh, ah, duh
and found the sp7
I am taking my reindeer horns for a break
Found it - thanks for the help - one 7 left to find (though I don't know what it is - I've been playing sporadically today as pesky work has interfered.)
i have two 7s left to find
is the sp 7 a compound or weird in any way?
I have the de, the fu, the pi, the sp and su.
The SP is weird
Sounds like a word for excellent or wonderful...until the last two letters
aha thanks, got the de now
Anyone know what 7 I'm missing?
AHA
un7
Ah, figures. I shall look. Weird word or normal word?
think I'm on the wrong track for the sp -- was using the firt 5 letters of the word for excellent, but can't find two letters to add to tht
not TOO weird, but not USED a lot either
Ah hah! Found it, thank you!
ah - have it now - ty matty
we have a brand of sugar substitute in Canada that is close to that
We have the same brand in the UK
off for breakfast - bbl
we have a punman here - surely there are more than one!
woot, that got me my last p
we also have that sugar sub. but I'm still not finding the SP7
ditch the D in the sugar sub
use a vowel in its place
very like the sugar sub. change one letter
finally, thanks village
now for the DE7
monica lewinsky did not de7 her little black dress
it's a noun... it may not mean whatever you think it means
stop using that word! ðŸ˜
Hirshi, after that clue all I can think is ‘de-stain’. Thanks for that. =P
oh, I remember the word now from previous grids
…my autocorrect does not like hurshy
This reminds me of something I just read by a teacher about an admission essay where the student used the phrace "my self-defecating sense of humor". 😊😊
oh lord
he's a scatologist likely
I thought you were off leading your very full life.
I can lead a full life and finish my grids too. I'm talented
…that was a good clue though. Had to take my brain farther into the gutter and then back out
I'm however not in the kitchen a lot though
Sugar substitute?
top row sooty at last
UN, sugar substitute with one letter removed, vowel to replace it
Don't know the sugar substitute.... saccharine? Equal?
yellow packets
starts like a word for fantastic!
Aspartame? Stevia?
except it starts with SP
so, for the Monica clue, I tried DESMELL apparently, cleaning something is not desmelling it
my 14 year old grandson needs to desmell his tennis shoes
the monica post wasn't a clue!
it's not a real word, it was a joke saying she didn't remove the se5 from her dress
Easier sp clue please????
an organ some people have ruptured minus a vowel + a postal abbrev for a 4 letter state
de 7 has to do with land ownership -- old fashioned word
it is an anagram of my monica joke
se 7 is also a homophone for the de 6/24 that means to put down in an insulting manner
*meant de 7
going to shut up now
is a homophone a device you have gay conversations on only?
<---me furiously trying to get an se7 to sound like the de6
Ruptured organ??
third letter is a cons
une what are you trying to find?
thankfully une didn't have a typo
she is trying to find SP7 but can't think of the sugar sub so I wasn't trying a different clue
I was trying
sp + most of borrow's opposite + 2 vowels
Got the sp!!!
huzzah
I thought that SP sugar substitute was pretty well known. Not as well known as Stevia, thanks to Breaking Bad.
Aahh, love me some Breaking Bad!
I think it is but une was just having a mental block of it
I could be wrong though
maybe she hasn't ever heard of it
Have heard if it.....just hard day......no sleep plus fighting ice and snow to take pups out to potty without falling and breaking a leg ...
Une, I just rewatched it again over the Christmas holidays. I am always amazed at the great way that story and the characters develop.
I've rewatched it multiple times!!
If you go out to restaurants, it is kind of hard to miss the little yellow packets.
I have never watched it
I don't have time to watch TV... I have a full life
wow, ice and snow still or you got new? 57 here.
No restaurants with covid floating around.....
I hear it's very full right now
true.. I'm usually full of something
been stuck at 53 since I came in -- time to list
Snow and sleet constant today for 6 hours so far
And temps dropping to single digits by morning
we now have 2 ft. snow on the level. Another 8 " added last night
talking to my mom, she is near NETN and they let schools out at noon due to weather forecast, so I guess it's coming from your way.
Yep
Hello, friends.
Hello Lucy
Hey Bea:-)
*!*~*!* monkeys co-operated for a change :)
hi bea
any help wanted before I leave?
12th night -- have a good one and stay safe :)
*jingles sleigh bells*
it has snowed here in Nash area all day..... a lot....if I ask Alexa how mush, she just says it's snowing right now, like I didn't know that
much, not mush
mush Alexa mush!
Lotsa white stuff indeed!
6" at my house!
thanks UNE you're so much more informative than Alexa
We turned Alexa into Ziggy. I like him much better.
my other grandkids have 61 degrees today..... Charleston
Hi everyone. I'm liking this grid but I have so much work to do that I've got less than 100 words even though I've had Babble open all day.
I hate it when life interferes with Babble.
Nan keeps referring to it as 12th Night. Do protestants not celebrate The Epiphany?
I thought yesterday was 12th night and today is The Epiphany.
no electronic spies are allowed in my house. I turn off location, tape over cameras, set my electronic privacy levels at the highest rating.
Alexa is an electronic spy? That's funny considering how poorly programmed she is.
a friend was talking to her daughter on her phone about swing dancing and Alexa started playing Big Band.
evanonut woke up one night to hear alexa babbling about something
and hi
JM I have a friend who started talking to her husband about a cat.....they don't have one, she's allergic....and the next day she started getting ads about cat food on her email
People have their phones connected to Alexa
my grand children thought I would really enjoy Alexa... I'm not really sure yet
yes, but my phone is too ancient
I like it for Amazon music.
speaking of which, all of a sudden i am getting a sh*tload of spam. i ordered from macys and used that email
me too
my brother used it to play music, sounds great
I have an email just for buying stuff.
i mean, uses alexa for music instead of radio
People don't need access your shopping habits to flood you with spam. Retailers sell their mailing lists.
I use SMX for my music.
so do...but it does link to my real email where the spam is coming
i do not use my personal email for buying or for fb
i do, however, link the commercial account to my personal account in case i am locked out
*Thinks of JMC as Mel Gibson in "Conspiracy Theory"
speaking of which, my order is ready.. i think i will take a run up to the mall and pick it up
ugh try me as Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State.
although Will Smith was pretty cool in that movie too.
FB, BTW, thinks I am an overweight, African American woman Lawyer. Which is pretty close.
no privacy setting is perfect but I figure there is no reason for me to leave my door wide open
I may just be able to get this one done.
go bzzn go!
FB thinks that all I'm interested in is food, which may actually be true.
45 left taking a break still stuck on F word....no jokes, please
The F has been clued all day long. Do you know how to review the entire chat?
yes, I will do that Molly....thanks
started at the bottom of the alphabet today...then jumped to the top...skipped F for later.... in the middle now.... L M N P 16 plus that F back later
da 6 please
to do something very carefully and sweetly. precious.
sorry not a verb.; adjective
TY MAB, got it
not at all.
weenie
ha!
nope
ooh. sorry. it worked. penalty...
strike that, reverse that: yep
I thought it didn't at first! ha
the e's are sort of tangled a little.
a tad, yes
wandering off for a while
down to 2 words, both PE
pe 5/20? and pe 6/33?
no, 4 and 5 just messed around and got them....now to look up and see what in the world they mean
ahhhh ill gotten gains
ok Fireworks, any help before I log off?
yes, Rose, I learned a new word today
WTG SOPHIE512 !!
hi rose!
hey ya TO
well, I have a high fever. no exposure that I'm aware of. I don't go anywhere.
sorry to hear it.....i have been fighting off a mild sore throat for two days....
had to cancel my appt with the PT tomorrow for the vertigo. but I am not dizzy laying down now like I was, so I've got that going for me.
well that's good anyway...
29 left here. probably not going to finish. and I can't see anything on the bee! still at solid.
there is bingo today but I only have words from 3/7 letters.
i did better on the bee when i went back a second time....made it to genius today.... i sucked yesterday...
I got to genius yesterday and then stopped.
i am missing a U word then....along with seven or eight other words....
I just found an M and L
i have one of each....
mostly B words today...
at least in my list...
thought I was onto a U with umlaut 🤣
it isn't umblaut... ;o)
yeah, I think i tried that too
pen, un + cat's sound?
ty, rose....
thanks granny, we are talking about the U on NYT spelling bee
well serves me right for sticking my nose in... loll
actually, i did not have that U word that you just clued....it was one of my 7 missing words... ;o)
no worries, I appreciate the help!
is the NYT spelling bee similar to my target word. i have 9 letters with one which must be used in all words of 4 letters or more.
yes, similar....there are seven letters....every word must use the center letter....the grid looks like honeycomb, hence the name....
you can use letters more than once in the Bee....
like if there is one A, you can use it twice in the same word...
ahhhh, i am only allowed to use a letter once if it is not repeated already. i think i have seen similar puzzles in my logic puzzle books.
yes, i have, too...
sp7/32 pls?
starts like an artificial sugar and ends in two vowels....
ty
yw...
I was saying earlier today there's a new game called wordle if anyone is interested.
where is that?
I can give you a link. hold please.
sure
https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle\n/
remove the \n/ that babble sticks on
supposedly similar to a game called mastermind but I've never played that.
it is like playing that game called Mind something....
yes, that is the one I was thinking of...used to play that with my niece...
ha!
I think there's a lot of luck.
there is indeed a lot of luck. A friend in Scoland posted about it yesterday.
won my first one...yea!
huzzah!
Well, I just got today's word in 5 moves. I started with a word with 5 different letters, and tried to guess strategically.
at least it tells you when you try a word that isn't in its dictionary
i got it in five as well....
I took 5 today too. I got 3 or 4 yesterday. jmc or someone here got 2 today.
Actually, it might be easier if it let you guess non-words
i was just wondering about that....
well, I was hoping you could just put in letters
but I discovered today you can't
I got the 4th letter and couldn't think of any words based on my letters left so I was hoping to just enter some in random order.
yeah, needing to go in order left to right top to bottom is frustrating
am i supposed to know that ze 6 word?
nope. i had to morewords it.
not unless you are a botanist...lol
and i am not...
i am done...
WTG PENQUIS !!
ty!
so there is only one wordle each day?
yes
congrats, pen
numbnut not accepted on spelling bee
ty....
lol....
okay i'm stumped. what is the second letter for the wordle word please?
A
thanx pen.
yw...
my brain has left the building. i will persist however. is it a common word?
normal word....i don't use it much in conversation....
well i am heading out....goodnight all....
g'night pen
sweet dreams pen. xx
hello all, and congrats Pen!
Back for my last 3 sixes
Woohoo! The monkeys got my last word on their very first try!
congrats, winding wake!
found a goose.
and birdies
da6? is anyone there>
da6 is delicate and smalll
should have been small sorry
sp7?
sounds like the coffee sweetener sp7
ends with two vowels
ugh. that took forever. thank you.
it's a weirdo word
guess it means spleen-less
sometimes I think Enable is just kidneying us
sorry to be bladdering on
