found some rodents
and felines.
well 67 for morning, good night babblers!
they can amuse each other
and teeny bugs
not seeing that tr 8-9 - don't think it can be a common word.
depends on the city you live in. the first part is common and then comes the suffix
I just assumed it was something tripled, but I don't live in a large city -- 240k
it's nothing tripled
don't know then - don't see anything relating to a city either
you probably already have the tr5 root
only have 2 - piece of land and transportation
then add a suffix to one of them
Thanks, Cow!
yw sue
what dumb words! --- not even sure there is such a word as the 9
ty for the help -- would never have tried that
yw
the ti 6-7 is just as bad

Fine here, but trying to get in touch with a few people in the target zone
uhoh, no E
this grid is demonic
Maybe a little over-reaction
lol
hello all
morning lindy!
phantom: fractal
and faith
and fuschia
and caftan and caustic
and lactate
I've tried artful three times
i was so excited when i started out because i was able to grey the top row
but then
once i hit the F i started having mucho troublosos
There is an 8 in the F
ok i'll have to find that then
thanks for the -ful ending idea tho
I don't think there's an f8
Fractal is my phantom too
sory take that back Fi8
got it!
anyone have the bottom S or the bottom T?
I have the bottom t...let me see which one...
sa5....chip dip
i tried tuatara just in case
ta5.12
ooh thanks got it

Thanks, phae.
yw
and do we know what the 9 is?
yes.
tr9.78
ty
got 'em!
phantom: artisan
so then 8s are tr8, as8, fi8, and...?
ca 8
ty
hmm is it weird or normal?
in7/28.....clue please
that's a plural aeb
an alt sp of when you hire someone to put in or in______ your new countertop
tyvm....thought this word had 2 l's.
yeah, it normally does. hence my saying "alt sp"
phew, finally got ca7/8
can i get a clue for the first in7/44?
nm
Man, everyone wants to be Peri these days.
there is and there will only be one peri
I think there might be some people who don't know what alt sp means (alternate spelling)
i sure don't know what a lot of these words are hiding in the grid
It's not the same here without minute by minute status from Carla on her progress
statin is not accepted?
guess it is too proper musica.. hi all
clue for ta6,21 please?
think hummus
rhymes with teeny weeny bathing suit
a paste of sesame seeds
thank you all
'morning, all (cellist in the grid!)
hi welki
Isn't his name Cassals?
Nope, it's Casals, my bad
i only know yoyo ma
I know Ma and Casals, which is weird because I am not a cello fan.
yoyo ma is incredible
I'll second that
I saw YoYo Ma at Symphony Hall and I cried. I was so excited and it was so incredible.
lucky you, car
I've seen him in SF twice.. I wasn't moved to tears though
I cry a lot at symphony when the music is moving. I'm squishy that way
(note to self.. when you go out to shows with Car.. bring kleenex)
LOL
I would be more concerned about the squishy part Ru
LOL
*water accident*
whew, am still missing 18 and stumped. Thought this was an easy grid at first but there seem to be a lot of words in it I don't see. Out of my vocab range apparently.
same here aloy... lots of weird words in this one
ok, maybe not too many fish will be slapping me as I list..
i doubt it.. i've blundered upon a few odd ones.. I think I'm hitting morewords for my last ones
good idea, hope they are there, lol
am joining you.. tempus fugit
The Mysterious Case of The Woman Who Saw Slapping Fish
so far none visible..
ok.. found my starting c.. now i have a benchmark
that helps
whew... brutal grid
amen !
only 2,765 points too.. seems like there'd be more pointss
ouch.. missed a plural
oh well, didn't have to hunt too much for that one.. 2 left
and didn't have to use morewords bc tr8 and 9 are extensions that I missed seeing..
are you close to the finish line, ru? I have to get ready for pickleball but can help for a bit
.. maybe; some of these are so weird that cluing might pose a problem
ok, good luck Babblers.. ! poof
hello nerd-buddies!
Hey Gwen!
hi une and nbt!
Clue for ac7 please?
Good morning all! This one looks tough. I remember the other day, the grid didn't have an A. Now, no E.
only have one 7 so far, hunting now
ac7 = a piece of land (first 3 letters) + a continent
and another ac7 = same first four letters + a naughty deen
deed, not deen
Tx!!
(!)
thanks Gwen
hey no prob
sacarin -- not a word
not sure I'm gonna frinith this one
it's saccharine....hello gwen, sophie, une, everyone....
Hi Pen!
yeah, but sacarin is what i got LOL
well, i have at least 50% of every tile, gonna quit for now
taking a break and leaving 57 for later....bye all....
Puts Pens 57 next to the Heinz 57
good morning everyone :) Guess the weather gods didn't get the message that this is spring!
Ours did. 64, beautiful and trees blooming everywhere.
Y'all Canadians don't get Spring until June, right?
not quite -- we will be having a heat wave in may probably. Cherry trees are blooming in Vancouver, but colder than normal today -- tulips up about 6" but no buds yet - crocus about to burst.
as 5/14 please?
arf???
is that a clue, soodle?
Sounds like "got a question for the chat? as5/14 anything!"
ty freep
ends like a desert plant
I feel like it's the flip in the middle of the day.
I don't think I will finish this after reading how tough everyone thought this is
going through list now and so far the monkeys are hard at work
in 7/44 please?
in7/44 - heart attack
sorry -- first in 7/44 please?
That is the first one
oh - I thought it was the 2nd
I have no idea then
oh - got it - reversed letters
Both words have the same letters but in different places
not very familiar with latin medical terminology
and like most of us, I expect an english puzzle to be in english
the French really throws me for a loop
I'm ok with french usually, but not latin, greek, japanese, german and spanish
missing your sunflower, sophie
English borrows from other languages so extensively that it's very difficult to decide what is still a foreign word and what has been integrated.
I think latin is pretty obvious seeing as how it is a dead language
If there is no alternative word for it in English, then basically qualifies as English.
I don't agree -- latin is latin
That is funny. Latin is a dead language, yet it is used quite a bit in medicine, landscaping and The Catholic Church. 😊
not only that, in this game 1/2 words count as words
I agree Nan, Latin is Latin.
And "manic" is Greek (ancient Greek)
I think that is because roman society was much more knowledgeable than the rest of europe (except maybe Tuscany and Greece) in those fields of study -- ie first scholar to discover something gets to name it
Waldeinsamkeit is a German word that means "the feeling of solitude and connectedness to nature when being alone in the woods". That doesn't make it Ebglish.
Argh, doesn't make it English just because there is no English word for it.
Let face it .... England was kind of backward compared to the Mediterranean and Arab countries in those days
Unless the English decide they need a word for it, and decide to borrow it. And actually, all languages that interact have been borrowing from each other for a long time.
In French, the word for "shampoo" is "shampooing", which is taken by the English from Turkish.
that's just it, gillie --- the words are borrowed or adopted, not english
You think "shampoo" is not English?
"Shampooing" is definitely French.
yes -- but only because it has been in common useage by most of the population for a long time. Medical terms and latin names for plants are not in usage my most of the english speaking people.
I'm sure they are in common usage by medical professionals, if only because there is no alternative. Basically, you're saying you don't like words that aren't familiar to you.
no, I am saying I don't think words that are not English or are specific to a discipline practiced by a small percentage of the population belong here.
the latin name for heart is not english
Let's put it this way - they qualify as English if they need to go into an English dictionary.
cor is too short anyway
No, because we have a name for heart. But many anatomical words don't have pre-existing English names.
this is the longest day ever.
we're going in circles, gillie -- think we need to agree to disagree and call it quits.
Gillie, you are not the only one that has had this discussion with Nan.
Agreed :)
tartini - pastry with a boozy filling
c 7-8, lu 6, ta 6 --- giving up. Hagd everyone
29 here can't decide if I want to quit or not, but I'm definitely taking a break
as7/8 too
fa
la la
Something is wrong with my compputer. I have sa 4 that is pepper and sa** and aother sa words and some sl words and yet it shows me no words for the two S’s in first column. Any ideas???????? I refreshed already
refresh?
I just refreshed again and poof it shows 11 s words for the s in 4th row first column. Whew.
Third time refresh worked.
Any clues for the 8s? And also need the 9 please.
I have as7/8 and that's it
Ty i missed the 8. Ty
mkg-just totally stumbled onto fi7, starts with a clenched hand; and plural.
thx, pjs
Any clues for the tr 8 or 9?
Tr 8/60 & tr9 79. Locomotives crammed to the brim & plural
ah, thanks soodle. I had just discovered that suffix but hadn't thought to try that.
Great clue soodle. Ty. Got them
now if I can find 2 more lower i's I will have HOET
What is hoet?????
half on every tile
Ooooh ok. Ty
I just find that more challenging than NBT
I am missing the T tile bottom row if anyone has a stat or clue. Ty
Kinda chilling mental picture, given the images coming out of Ukraine 😕
so, just a personal daily goal for me
it is TA5/12
Good one carla. My goal is half way with nbt and nbs.
But the half way is the real goal.
yeah, if I find HOET then I automatically get halfway ðŸ˜
Yup. Would have to be half way.
Or more.
Not seeing the ta 5
usually a bit more
Hey Carla, mkg, everyone else...
ends in not them
hey joy!
Hi joy
Got it. Great clue carla.
Ty
I now have 2 i's in 5th col. what are these words?
First full day back at the office in over 2 years today. I’m exhausted. Having to wear undergarments (bra) make-up & a pleasant smile has worn me out. I really REALLY want to work from home forever.
I just started and so far I don't like that first I in the top row. Think I'll just jump to the N.
lol, I put makeup on today and didn't like it.
What do you do soodle?
Oh that sucks Soodle. I'm hoping I never have to go back to my office.
well, the N has 0 words, joy
It was an easy one, carla! 🤣
I see moo is online, maybe he will speak up
Uh oh another I.
I keep typing insta over and over
eureka!
HOET
Great carla.
49 left
I have as and tr 8s. Can i have clues for the other two and stats? Ty
PJ just clued fi7/8. I don't have the other one.
I work for the Govt. The Coroners Service. I was Soooooo much more productive at home. And during the height of the pandemic, I was working 7 days a week, because, sadly, the death rate was so high. I was operating really well (bra-less & lipstick-less) from home.
that's sad, soodle.
the deaths I mean, not your bra and lipsticklessness
Truth be told, Joy, that was a bit sad too. 🤪
lol
I work for the govt too, but I think we won't ever have to go back to the office full time. They've realized that they can save a lot of rent money if we're not all in the office.
hey all
my brother works for a hospital group and they were told they would never be going back and now they're telling them they will. he does accounting. really no need to be in office for that.
MOO
hey hoke...happy not weekend
maybe tuesday
possible
but don't ask me the day of the month
My gripe is.... I functioned perfectly well working from home. The bereaved of Ireland were given a decent service. Now I have to pay exorbitant diesel (gas) prices to get to an office where I’ll spend more time at the water cooler, gossiping & chatting, than at my desk. Crazy stuff
it's a day
how is everybody's C tile looking? I still have 11 and I think I've tried everything.
16 to go...but I have 98 overall to go
11 left now on the C
soodle, my SIL just went back a week or two ago and she said she gets way more done at home. she was also complaining that they had a team meeting and everyone in the office wanted to just join in from their desks. so why are they even there?
found one word but not a C. this is a hard grid.
7 C's left...70 over all...and I agree
can't rem. last number I gave but I have 41 left.
Working from home, I tumble out of bed @ 8.50. Sitting at my ‘puter @ 9.00. (Wearing PJ’s). If I have a Zoom call, I’ll do the hair & make-up thing wear something respectable from the waist up. Days in the office - up @ 7.00. Shower. Hair business. Make-up. Sundry household chores. Leave house 8.30. Negotiate traffic. Arrive in office 9.15. Go to kitchen & make coffee, meet assorted colleagues, shoot the breeze, working day starts @ 10.00, then tea-break @ 11.00 sheesh
I'd believe it
phantom factual
50 to go
yeh, about the same here Soodle
are you in an office or WFH, moo?
Well...I've not been my employers office on a regular basis for maybe 20 years
I kinda had that impression
I was travelling to chicago every week to a customer office back in 2019 from around January to March
But I quit that job :)
I'm currently working with some corporations around return to work, so this conversation is interesting
I bet
There's a lot of people changing jobs, or work lifestyle in the US...in fact they even call it the great resignation
lactini - a milk cocktail?
oh, just found the 9...lame
I have certainly been seeing lact-words but missed that one
lame is the definition or it's a stupid word? and can you share the stats, P&TY
stupid word
tr9/78
J ga\\
are you ok, peri?
I have as8 help with other 8s pls. hello all
I am fine
There’s a lot of that here too, Mool. (Changing jobs, not lactini-ing 🤣). Rents in urban centers are crazy compared to more rural locations
tr8
I do not have the tr8 or tr9
still missing 2 8s
ca8
oh, forgot I had the tr9
sorry, just found that one :)
ok, ca8 is my last 8
Peri. See mine @ 4.33. Awaiting update on the 2022 toenail colors.
8-8-13-6-1
catiful - a very pretty feline
4=9=18=9=1
ah, them sixes
Any clues for the ca 8? Pretty please?
the sixes are the nemesises
yep
(yes, I know it's nemeses, but it doesn't rhyme as well)
yes, and it sounds more professional when you use nemesises
ok, do I need help on ca8?
probably
it's a flavor of italian ice cream...just remember from a kid
The ca 8 is a flavor? Boy i donty know this word at all
neopolitan
maybe it's italian ice cream in new zealand
well the def says italian
Alternative clue -sounds like a little female house in spanish a bit
well, I think that helps with at least the 3rd letter
yeah
just need to think of a spanish feminine dimunitve
it's not exactly that, but approximately that
well I found a ca6 that is like a little spanish house
interesting
muy
I have the word house in spanish but after that i am lost.
yeah, well it's not exactly that it SOUNDS like it
well, I googled italian ice cream ca and found the 7 and then got the 8. never heard of that.
yeah, pretty specific word
25 to go
my boss back in my early 20s actually had that as a last name. I think it was spelled the same. he was a new yorker italian and taught me ricotta was really pronounced rigarta. I still say ricotta.
5-5-10-4-1
I got spumoni……..hmmmm

Is there an ia in it?

Ugh. Carla i am not seeing it. Anywhere. Ugh

Now i get cali cream ice cream in calif.
I give up.

if you use google...italian ice cream with candied fruits
rem. the mamas and the papas? mama ca4 died of like choking on a sandwich (or is that a myth) + a preposition + an article
That did it!!!!!!! Ty mool

No babbler left behind
never going to give you up

Whew.

mama joplin
Cute moo
late to the game did not realize no e
I am just not seeing any words. still 38 left.
hey cheryl, an e would be helpful. but then it would be a lot more words to find.
yah, will try and talk from now on, without using that particular non-consonant
in honor of da grid
Just googled it. She died of a heart attach at age 32. Died in her sleep. No drugs and no choking. Her heart gave out.
would catfish sport catfins?
sad. my boss last name ca7, died at 42 of heart attack.
that's young
thats true Carla
for both
yeah, it was very shocking, I came into work one morning and the people already there told me and I couldn't believe it. now that I'm 48, it seems really young. didn't seem as young when I was 24.
speaking of heart attacks, just found a word related
21 left...almost out of time
Bye all.
seeya mkg
