hello everyone
hi, nan

ty - wouldn't have thought to try that
I'm not sure why I did :)
Clues are up
desperation?

thanks, lickety
Night, Nan
I'm finishing 35 tomorrow, too
fw here
good going freep - i have 11 left
found some simians
hello all
Here's hoping for a bigger grid tomorrow
isnt it odd. During the week when lots of people are at work we can get enormous grids. At the weekend when most people have more time we get silly little ones
This game favors the fortunate retired, who no longer have "work days".
was just thinking the same thing @deeha
Hmmm.. now what
good morning all. was looking forward to a nice long one but this was fun to do. hope everyone is keeping well.
'morning, babblers
*Refrains from comment on "nice long one"
why refrain?
:)
it's a little thing today, might as well get whatever enjoyment out of it that we can
hello
hi TO@
I started ten minutes ago and I only have 4 left, quickie today
FW! possibly the first time I've done it sans list or hints!
wtg mael
have a good day everyone, enjoy your sunday!
you as well
Still here, Owl?
arrrgh
Hi Hurshy. A small grid.
3 under 100 in a row is cruel and unusual
Agreed.
especially over a weekend
morning all! Go Bills
Go Bills. This city is so fired up and KC is filled with Buffalonians.
I bet
This city is so desperate for a championship.
my packers lost, but, i already felt unhappy about this season due to aaron lying about his vax status, so i don't think i would have enjoyed a super bowl victory properly if we had gone all the way
just think of it as his team immunizing him against victory :-)
Aaron never had a shot. *groan*
I don't really root in football, except against concussions
as there are thousands of us team owners, i feel that he lied to his employers (us)
True. It is a violent game.
small grids should not be allowed on weekends....hello all....
i once asked doc to adjust the settings of the computer generating the grids, to toss anything under 100, but he said the grids are already set for like 5 years into the future
wow....
I agree, penquis.
while this answer did not really satisfy me, i didn't push it
i thought he just had a program to generate random grids....
he does, they just generate them way ahead of time
yes, but i don't see why they would be doing that for a fixed period of time...
hence the answer not really satisfying me
got down to 8 left, back after laundry
bye, dan...
Fireworks!!
Any clues needed before I go?.
no, thanks....but congrats....
4 left and I will pick them out, sandraf, TY.
derr
Don't bother with that one.
Done. Enjoy the day. Go Bills!
3 left here, 2 P and 1 S
got one P
both remaining words are now 6s
got the S!
phantom: peddle
And needle.
i wonder if i am the only person on earth who still utilises the word ph4/11
well, maybe. I've never heard it.
just checked the def, sounds like something snoop dogg might have said.
it was a Dickens word, actually :)
i've never heard of it either....
it went back older than him but he liked to use it
words, words, ah how i love words!
hurshy, don't try to hide your word ne4ness
it is also the real name of the person who illustrated a lot of Dicken's novels....weird....
well i'm kind of stumped on my last p6. it is lower P, so it's not pr. i have 2 pe6, both past tenses.
I am on 2nd row
did you plural your face word?
pen, by real name, you mean "nickname"
and dickens' own nickname was boz
dictionary says real name...
that's a weird plural, thx
pen, thank you. i thought i had tried that and that it hadn't worked, but apparently i must have mistyped.
dictionary is lying
sorry, misread that....i think that was his nickname....
Hablot Knight Browne, pen name Ph4
Hablot Knight Browne.....guess i would have wanted a nickname, too, if that was my name....
lol
wow, I finished the 7 without trying
ok, 13 left after first pass. guess I will try a little while but I'm sure these are weird words I've never heard of. 6 4's though, so I guess I'll look for them.
derp is used a lot to describe golden retrievers. guess it wasn't a word back in enable days.
never heard of that....
yeah, like when you see a pic of them just looking goofy, they are a derp or are derpy
nd
interesting...
down to 6 now - 4-1-1
14 here....2 - 8 - 2 - 3
make that missing 2 sevens, not 3....
they are all other tenses
or word forms
which is how I stumbled across them all
thought i did that...guess i will recheck....
well, I found 1 4 but still 3/5 of my words are 4's
oh, 3 left!
2-1
i bet one is re 4/6.....
yep. LOL. I usually miss that one.
i am still missing two fours...
guess I will look for those...
now I have 1 4 and 1 5 - D and P
there's just so many E's it feels like I tried everything 2x already
4-6-2-2 now...
now just P5 left
tada!
congrats....ten left here....
you can do it!
7 now....hate countdowns, lol....
oh, just do the countdown 😠I am in suspense
i am moseying....watching tv while playing....
I'm working on the bee now. only got to great yesterday and missed some easy ones but some of those were ridiculous. not sure I'll ever understand his reasoning on his words allowed.
got to amazing yesterday....haven't looked today....
words like bibinbop, the Korean dish
agreed....weird word choices and rejections....
doesn't even accept ALEE.....
yet accepts HIYA....
I know, I complained about that last time
But, yet, we still play every day
the world is caving into slang....
more and more in the crossword as well...
is the spelling bee the circle thing in the NY Times?
what is callaloo? from yesterday
yes, ru
yes, ruru. it is edited by a young man who picks and chooses the words allowed based on these arbitrary rules
no professional jargon, no bad words, etc
and he doesn't always follow his own rules...
I keep telling Mr. B to write him an angry email
Doren used to send me those.. i got bored with it
I'm sure he gets angry emails all the time
we should all point out his mistakes... ;o)
too easy for ruru 😜🤣
I did email about a missing word when I first started playing. I don't rem. what it was, but he took a lot of flak that day for it.
How do you email him?
i saw his email address somewhere there...
there's a link to report missing words. I doubt he reads that personally but I don't know.
If you find it pen, let me know
if you click more on the upper right and then how to play, scroll down to "think we missed a word" and there's an email address.
he better not mess with the babble ladies
I get the impression he has much bigger problems than us
buzzwords@nytimes.com.....
we should all email him with problem words and call him "Buzz".... ;o)
or have a few select players give him a piece of their mind :D
i don't have a piece i can spare...
ones who know how to do it :D
I already got a response. I asked why coon wasn't recognized. Racial references
that was quick....
Probably a standard response
yes, I try that every time for raccoon but was sure that was why they didn't allow it
or a coon dog
i do try that, too...
i am down to 3....
fw
Yeah baby grids
congrats....E R P left....all fives....
my last word was P5 that is a weird plural of a P3 that looks like a plural
yes, i think i just found that one....
the R was a pt...down to one E5....
a pt....i am done...
woot!
ty, ty....
well i am off to the Bee....bye all....
well, I am just at Great and struggling, so I wish you better luck
thanks...i am at great as well and stalled....
hi Carla! turns out we have a mutual friend in the real world :-) I work at echo360 with Paul (Randy) H.
good norning everyone :)
hi nan....not really here....working on the Bee....
not familiar with that game,although I do see a bunch of you talking about it.
it's part of the new york times crossword app I think
it's also just online....but full participation comes only with a Times crossword subscription, i think....
dan, is that randar?
down to 7 and stuck
keep going, nan! only a couple of weird ones.
probably a few missed plurals and pts, but going to the list to find them
5 left now
carla yes I think so. he says his wife is the bigger "word nerd"
is pe 5/14 one of the weird ones? feel like I've tried everything...
a babblet. plural latin feet?
ty dan
forgot mr. foxx was considered a word
yes, he hates that people use obscure words in babble and thinks you should only play words you know 🤣
start that debate with him...
*!*~*!* hagd everyone :)
and BTW, I only "internet know" him, though we've known each other for many years.
good job, nan!
off to find a new icon for tomorrow --- a demain
oh, dan, I mean obscure words in boggle
dend
