in7
to7
ju7
Clues are up
hurrah, tyvm Lickety
not seeing any of these 7's :(
incel is not accepted....
thanks, lickety
way too new for enable, jane
but thanks for giving me a chance to use the word portmanteau.
et 7 if not called
hmm, had to skip that E
aha, thanks
what does a suitcase have to do with anything, carla?
oh geez
I forgot about the other definition
didn't know there were two!
a portmanteau is 2 words blended to make 1. in this case - incel that harpjane mentioned is involuntary celibate. earlier today I mentioned retcon which is retroactive continuity.
portmanteau is "carry coat" - or a suitcase (case for suits) originally
never heard of that def. before -- it has always been a suitcase to me.
smog is a portmanteau word - smoke + fog
I've never heard of it being a suitcase (until the time we discussed it here)
nbt, nbs, le 7
tu 7 x2
oh, the suitcase is "chiefly british" which makes sense that I don't know that
but with the eau ending, should be a French word
hi Hokie!!
you would think so. hello dolly!
it is french for suitcase
It is french, for suitcase (a coat carrier)
awww love it when you sing to me! LOL
nan, smog is a portmanteau for smoke and fog (per merriam-webster)
(diving back into the grid)
not doubting you carla - just never heard that def before
I don't suppose the in 7 is related to the 6?
just on 4th row here
I don't think so, nan - I have in 7 but not in6
duh - just found the ju
that leaves the in le and to
ha, I had the ju6 but missed the 7. possibly past my bedtime.
well, I had HOET going until the 5th row
HOET!
not seeing anything -- good night everyone :)
was just about to say the same. 52 left for tomorrow.
doh, saw 4 on the way out. maybe I'm not stuck.
hello all
phantom - incest
it's all relative
a type of kin-dread
Today is a practice in how many Babblets can you remember.
truly
no one? incest? kin-dread? where's ruru when you need him lol
I groaned, shirlockc, worry not :)
my goal in life, pun-ishing fun
hello Babblers and Babblettes
hi folks
Aloy, have you heard how our common friend is doing?
haven't heard: everything ok? She is snowed in I imagine
I was talking about the one down here.
oh.. no, hubby should call?
He had a heart attack. Was in the hospital for five days.
so sorry.. when?
I think he drove himself to the hospital on Wednesday last. Got home on Tuesday.
ok, thanks for letting us know, Bea..
Not sure of the timing as we didn't know anything until he called Larry to ask him to go pick up his car and meds.
phantom: fascist
hope B comes to help !
phantom: falsetto
hursh, I keep seeing falsetto too
I just see falseto 😜
heh
a false-etto, if you will
but I still need 11 F's and no ideas whatsoever
oh, I see the old veep in the grid
Lots of falsies talk in here today.
phantom: golf
just found a word that I usually miss. it's a moral victory!
know what you mean, hokie.. one of mine is "asea"
I always miss the U babblets
I have this game on my phone called whirly-word and it does not accept asea. very annoying.
I have finished the U and the J today!
ooh i found a nice one
I have tried sunnies more than once
phantom: juice

well, I gotta get on with my day. TTFN.
found 'em! woot!!
10 to go!
thanks for the 8's you guys
Tx for le8!
Not that it is a normal word or anything 😊
Neither is the fa8, unless you have occasion to strengthen ramparts.
But then, don't listen to me, as I am hysterical.
Why are you suffering from hysteria, Molly?
scene
crap
I'm all for strengthening ramparts .. but that's me
Probably from listening to too much Def Leppard Bea
Hello all…
good morning pen
Hi ru…
Lunch break! Yay!
Hi scrabs….
How are you up there?
Doing ok here….a few days of warmer weather….
Yes, we have had warmer weather for 2d but it has been snowing today.
Supposed to get colder here on the weekend….but other than that, ok weather….
I want lots of snow for XC-skiing and snowshoeing--through the end of March.
Lots of people have enjoyed the big snowfalls we got in ski country here recently…..
Wonderful.
A babbler here from Northern ME said they got 18 inches last weekend and another 8 a few days later…
I love it!
hello everyone :)
Hi nan….
hi Nan!
there was an le 7 and an in 7 called last night that I couldn't find don't have the 8's either
Hi Nan
Hi marksdolly
Don’t have any of those yet…
hi Scrabbler
do you play scrabble online?
if anyone has clues for the 8's that would be great!
No, I don't like Facebook's Scrabble interface.
I play on lexulous
le 8 and fa8
I play Lexulous.
Oh got the in 7…..what a hippie burns to make a room smell better….awful clue…
Nan the fa8 builds off several before it
what is your name of Lexulous?
compound? not true?
Ty, dolly….
No, nan….
no nan
different 3rd letter
guess I don't have the ones before it then -- only other fa's I have are to fwoory and ciggies
it's after the untrue,
It builds on the word for what is under your skin…..you remove it when skinning chicken….
fat is the only thing under my skin!
No, think of skinning chicken…
don't know pen
Ends with US spy agency….
That is the fa 6….
ok - found the 6, ty
Fa 6/7/7/7/8…..
I thought that was the board that goes up under the overhang on a house roof
got them all - ty pen
It has a lot of different definitions…
Yw…
le or in 7 please?
I am back. (I am typing chart notes before lunch our ends.)
the le is 6,7,8 combo
Can someone please give me STATS for the second row E?….
Wb, scrabs…
Scrab, what is your Lexulous name?
et 6-7 twinkle twinkle
Ty, nan….and ty, dolly….
yw
oops - sorry, you just wanted the stats
It’s ok….
I cannot type my name here, marksdolly.
ahhh okey dokey
Grrr, my first 2 patients for the afternoon are already here so I must go. Enjoy the day.
bye scrabbs
Bye, scrabs…
which l does the 6-7-8 come from?
not that it matters - not seeing anything from either one
What 6/7/8?
dolly said there is an le 6-7-8
Oh….LE….second row L, i think….
the Le 6,7,8 can actually be from either L
The 8 has to be the second row L….
but to get the 8 it needs to come from the upper L
I think someone said it has something to do with ramparts -- now I am old, but not that old!
no Nan, it's an amino acid
The fa 7/8 relates to ramparts….
But you may already have those…
found them -- once I knew that either l would do that made it easier to figure it out
yes - found the fa's
missing 3 7's still, but getting there
I am missing 4….
I know that in 7 is one of them
I clued that one for you….unless there are two….
oh ty -- will look back in the chat
What a hippie burns to make the room smell nice…questionable, lol…..
ty - just couldn't see that
Yw…
7's so far: et, fa x3, in, ju, le, tu x2
Ah….got one tu 7, will look for the other….ty…..
Got it….
So now we are both missing the same two 7s….

Two sevens are latin pliural and plural

I am done…..don’t think I will try using the ipad split screen to play babble again anytime soon…..whew….
Heading out…..goodnight all….
see people saying they play on their phones and I wonder how? I can't play word games on screens that tiny.
I can only enter words in babble on my phone and only if I have on glasses and have off autocorrect. no way would I try to use lickety with it.
i play on my phone when on the train every firday AM. it's tough.
can someone pls clue un6/30?
oops, found it. ty
I'm glad you peri'd it
decided to give up and use lickety and it's not loading for me
clue for en 7 please? i don't see any in the chat, so it must be really obvious and everybody got it, but for me. always like this.
do you mean en6? I don't see a 7. I had to look it up. actually I had to look up en6/27 and en6/18.
oh - yes.
the 6/27 is (I assume) to make a * of yourself. think 7 deadly sins.
all tangled. it's the en 18 i need. after getting the en 27 for the second time.
haha. en + land in the middle of water
so great. thanks so much.
6:35, I'm stuck on your clue, mab, could you do it differently.... sorry
i think it's a kind of grass, sophie. begins with end of admitting one's guilty, and then the stick or the ball for playing pool.
also, it's a pointer used to point out letters for children learning the alphabet - merriam webster.
omw, I even used to have this kind of grass, thanks so much
25 left, I'm done thanks for all the clues today Be safe and God Bless
only one word left - can anyone clue the un 6?
heck, pass the fish.... got it
