Phantom: saviour
good afternoon all
Hi Sprite. 6:51 AM here.
hi Scrabs, almost 1 pm here. Always fun, the timezone thing. I wish you a wonderful day today.
Almost noon here (I have a call with a client at 12)
I am waking up, getting motivated for work.
Hi matt
hiya matty!
I actually did a truckload of work this morning, the rest of the day should be low key, starting now with babble. Just some more time with our dog, but that is more relaxation than work
it is hot here, and tomorrow is Robs birthday.
We will get close to 90F here later.
I don't do heat very well. Here, hot means humid and thunderstormy. Makes me feel like there's an elephant sitting on my neck. How are you with heat?
I do not like heat. I prefer temps around 70F.
had to do a quick bit of math, that is around 21C. I prefer the temps to be around 18-19C. Or 21 with a bit of wind.
Yes.
morning - waking to a low of 80 here
hiya IG, wow that is hot that early
Hi IG. Stay cool.
hey Scrabs
and Sprite
fun grid so far
I hit a wall with 42 left. I want to find a few more before work.
yes, a vowel fest
go go goooo Scrabs!
The U and bottom A elude me.
un4 is a babblet. un5 pull down stacks
take down the sails for the U
TY for un4...thinking about stacks
Got it. TY.
ig's clue is better
which bottom A do you need?
all 5, haha
4th column, sorry
the shun words (AV)
I have an AV combo : to try and stay away from
I greyed out the middle A.
TY. That gave me 2 V words.
hi folks help with the i plese
please even
in4/4
it is a babblet, peri
sheesh, thanks Scrabs
and sprite
bbl
34 left and I must get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
have a grand day, Scrabs
As abolished
some Ds and Gs left now
di6/24 my new word learned for today. Pesticide.
fireflies. That was fun and fast. Have a great day, IG, and stay cool. Bye all, have a blessed day and a peaceful night. *leaves hug for rose*
Congrats!
apparently, the HEAT DOME we're all under here in the South is centered on Nashville--it's headed toward the mid-90s AGAIN today, 97% humidity and no rain in sight for at least 10 days
was supposed to be 101 here yesterday but we had a thunderstorm in the morning and I think it only got up to like 98. but so humid it felt like 102 when I walked winston.
Same here in Houston. So hot I can't take my pups out till after 7:30.
our dogs refused to go out at midday yesterday; hc, I'm so jealous you got rain
It's definitely not a good time for them.
pretty sure there was hail mixed in and very crazy wind. I would tell you how much rain but it blew my rain gauge over.
Jealous of your rain!!
wow blew your rain gauge over
and i just realized that we all PB-ed
I do not think this grid is fun. Cannot find any of the 7's
I know what they start with
... tr5 then tr7
I have a tr5 is there more than one of them
How do you guys take the humidity. Ugh
... one of Sheldon Coopers favourite things ... or what athletes do before competing
thank you great clue. Love the Big Bang tTheory
... I remember when the show first became popular that someone did a survey of university physicists .... everyone claimed to know at least one Sheldon Cooper but no one would admit to being a Sheldon Cooper ... ... everyone thought of themselves as Leonard
with a Mom like Leonard's? that inferiority complex was off the charts and allowed Sheldon to trample him
... but if you take as one of the main aims of growing up the idea of overcoming the terrible things that one's parents do to you and becoming more or less normal and mature despite the stupid things that your parents did ... then Leonard becomes a heroic everyman ...
... even if he is a whiner
true--I'd prefer to hang with Leonard
we love that show and even love Young Sheldon
I just loved how some of the jokes played out over years
great writing
... but you must also hang with a Sheldon from time to time because despite their selfishness and self focus they help drag you up to the higher levels or that one topic that they excel at ...
can anyone tell me the i stat?
in4.4 hokie
... in 4/4
hmmm, have been trying all kinds of in4
oh, that one
yup, the babblet
now just need one more A from the last A for HOET
... well unlike Sheldon who would have finished half an hour ago ... like Leonard I must leave the last 13 for later and the list ... ... luck to all who continue the struggle
bye dos
fw.. stay cool, folks. Any clues needed before I scoot?
have you got the AR 4/7 carla , from that last A ?
nope, thanks, monty. HOET!
I have it!
ok, Happy Babbling! poof
well done, aloy. have a good one!
yay !
So many phantoms today
bye Aloy
1st pass done, HOET, bbl for last 19 - have a great day all
Feels like more phantoms than actual words. Ha.
It's been a minute since I've chatted. What does HOET stand for? Hit on Every Tile?
half on every tile
ahhh thanks carla
no prob
waits for GATBO to come up
Okay ruru, hit me with it.
Got All The Big Ones....hello all.....
Thanks pen. At least I know PB. Ha. Any others I should know about?
NTPN....Name That Proper Noun (a word in the grid)....
NBT- no blank tiles
NAPA also
no, ru....that's where you live.. ;o)
Not Another Pun Again
lol
lol...
YES = you every session
I did know NBT, which I just achieved. :)
Less than half to go. Guess I should log in to work. booo. Ruru, pen, & Shirlock: thanks for the acronyms. bbl
I've never seen YES
bye, red
bye red...
well.. it was a bitchy little grid today
agreed....
di 6/24, pls
I still have 26 left. not seeing much more on 2nd pass.
20 here...
oh, thx, bichon. add a vowel into the small appliance that gets wrinkles out of clothes
time to get to work .. have fun
bye ru...
bye ruru
carla, sorry, don't understand
ty, carla....did not have that one...
well, it's like a chemistry word, maybe someone else can clue it better.if you look at the points, it has to have one more 2 pt tile besides the D, so really only a few ways to get that.
i thought your clue was fine...
yeah, but if she doesn't understand it maybe someone else can make it clearer.
it is a little twisty in the grid...
golly gee
i love it when i type something i don't think will work and it does work
sometimes it's easier to just type it in that to find the connecting letters...
well i mean i saw connecting letters, i just didn't know it would be a real word
ah, another fun thing...
if brrr counts why not grrr too?
the mysteries of enable...
2nd row grey!
go, hursh!....i am stalled at 19....need to go....bbl to finish....bye all....
down to 10 but have no 7s
i found one 7
like a person new to a job
ty
On6 please? (Ruru did you see that Rafa's gonna be a daddy?!)
hmm, don't have that and not seeing it
good morning all.....won't have much time until later this evening to tackle this....feel free to leave lots of clues for me..... :)
hi sophie
on + farming prefic
prefix
weird, thanks
what a weird word, thank you
thanks got it
so it's the plural for the ON6 phantom I was seeing
thinking orange is a phantom, right?
yw all
well, orange is a phantom too, but also on6 that's the singular to the on6 in the grid
are the u's both UN?
bye for now
yes
bye sophie
I have a UN4, what is the stat for the other?
5/16
ok, thanks.
5 left and I only have one 7... hmm
aha
15 left here - 4-3-6-2 very 6 heavy as usual
Need the un5.....
think of a sailboat maybe
remove the sails and lines from a boat, Une
lower a sail, une
wow, we all had it! :)
LOL, it was a complete and total clue-a-rama
Tx!!!
ohh found the 7s
nice
9 left now
uh, what were they mael?
FW! I was missing an easy ri5/6
have a great day everyone
ah, that was my missing R's, thx
7 left - 1-0-4-2
what do you have left, hurshy, maybe we can narrow them down
1-1-2-2
I have O GGG N T D
my guess is at least one is a G
one from each O, 2 G, N, and bottom right A
for T do you have the tr6 God (Father, Son, Spirit)?
um, don't see trinity, so you all must call it something else
yeah there is another word for it as an adjective
think french
I have a tr5/6 that is related
well, I don't know french so that rarely helps
yeah that's not what i mean those are nouns too
what's the stat?
you know our friend from Aix is ***aixoise
ah, I thought I tried that earlier, but apparently not. thx.
and you gave the di6/24 clue, right? so you have that
and I thought she was from nashville.
everything else is pretty easy on the D
yes on the di6
did you plural the di5 currency?
there's an ar4 on bottom right, the rest are sets
woot woot, just got ne7/36
I tried that when I found the di5 but I guess I didn't
you don't mean ar4 "dry" do you? cause that comes from upper A
oh, no, of course you wouldn't mean that
no, it's ar4/7 which tells you everything
ty
ok, so it was just a regular plural and I was going to wrong direction trying to make it fancy. thx
now O GGG N. will work on that NE7
so the other 7 is either G or O
if O, is upper O right? i also miss one lower
did you miss the ON6 in the chat just a bit ago?
yes
i mean i saw people asking but didn't see a clue
it's a weird plural of an ON6 that I only know from here
it has already scrolled off. - ends in farming culture
ty
my G words, have one 5 and all the rest 4
so then there's probably, hopefully, either a 5/6 combo or a 6/7 combo for the other two Gs we need
same here, was just trying 4s
ok, found a G4. now 0-0-2-2 - O GG N
found the N!
yes, I agree
wait, has to be 6/7 if it is a set because I finished 5's
so maybe O6 and G6/7
only other option is O7 and G6x2
found the O!
found a GA6/7
GA, ok, that narrows it down, thx
but it feels like I had already tried everything. are these regular words?
robot ending
arg, thanks. that's it for me.
have GA7 and TR7 - what is the 3rd one please ?
ne7, same ending
there is an ne 7 -- good motning all
thank you both, will look....
got it, thanks !
how are you nan ?
well sorry but i have to go - bbl
missing that di 6/24 mentioned earlier - also missed the clue for it - Please repeat?
mainly just frustrated with red tape, mtl :{
pesticide
mmm - only one I know is dazanon
Yeah, I'm stumped too.
rhymes with ne 6
Did anyone post a clue for on6?
sorry -
rhymes with a word having to do with nerves
mm - don't have an ne 6
Ah. Thanks, Knight!
on6 clue was posted by IG right after you asked 😜. on + farming prefix.
fw!
Thanks, Hokie!
di6 = d + thing that gets wrinkles out but stick another vowel in there to make it 6/21
Tx hokie!!
stilll getting a not found
I thought it was di 6/24?
see so i was missing a different O than you, i need an O5
it is a 6/24, cnan
aha - was using the wrong vowel - ty
out for breakfast before the last 20
there, done
Or6?
sorry nan, can't math today
OR6 looks like the state (at least how I pronounce it), is related to the herb that is a phantom
*!*~*!* kicking myself for missing the vo words and the other two associated with them :(
I found those very late as well, nan, and felt the same way. congrats.
hagd everyone
ZOET, and good morning :)
Tx hokie!
Haha ZOET!
hey wake
HOET now
Afternoon now here. =)
time is relative ;)
10 to go
moo! 82 in 13 min is pretty good
6 remaining :)
1-3-2
well, I am very confident you can do it
O G U O R D
did you find the rest at the bee yesterday? looks like I missed pipit, puli, and uptilt, so I wasn't ever finishing.
glad I gave up eventually
I missed pipit and uptilt
disappointed I missed pipit
I have 29 today, with 6 remaining
what is a puli?
only up to 23...late start
and a pipit? is that a bird?
no idea, but puli/pula both work in enable
yes, pipit is a bird
yes, but goes back to the age old question, if that guy is curating the list to be regular words, then why include puli?
looks like it is a hungarian sheepdog. mmhmm
yep
it's pretty arbitrary to that guy's knowledge
also has a word today that isn't in enable
well, I have 30 pts left with 6 words so looks like I might be missing some big ones. out of ideas though. should probably just settle on genius.
30 words
if you're missing big words, then I must be too
6 to go....
me too une :)
I have found a word not in enable as well, plus there is a enable word not allowed, agee
also agha
and aglee
galea/e
chang...a lot of enable words not in bee
Da4? Have what you throw at a target....
socks
or the dog when it gets out of the yard ;)
5 to go
in case that needs translating 😜, how you fix holes in socks or an interjection
heh
4 to go
O G O D
OMG
heh
didn't george burns have a movie called that?
possibly
sounds vaguely familiar
well, I mean it was Oh, God! I think
I don't know what lengths are left but I bet a D6
oh sure
O6
maybe another O6
maybe G5
all makes sense
found the d, and it was a 6
found the g, and it was a 5
so, you're saying I'm good at the guessing
you are
and so I have an o5 and an o6 remaining...one off each o
oh, then not perfect
I thought it was 2 O6
ah
nope, have one weird o6
there are 2 weird o6, with different 2nd letters
from different o's?
yes
hurshy was also missing an O5 at the end. I can guess which one but am surprised you all didn't get it
it's a babblet that I somehow saw first thing
oh duh
tx
well, I didn't really say a lot
more than enough :)
I'll be really surprised if you get the other O but not really if that makes sense
heh
well there's not as many words that can be made from that o
it's related to a word not in the grid that I only know from here
ovaroe :)
aka eggseggs
hmmm
ga7 please
robot ending
plural
second letter on the o6
ty new words for me
please
I have or6/24
on
well that didn't help, that's what I figured :D
the word it's related to is ON6 also
found it
well done
didn't know it was related...and though the other word had a different meaning anyway :)
I don't have on6
yeah, it's an odd one
it's a plural of the ON6 I only know from here
peri, ends in farm culture
farm culture?
farming is ****culture
how's that for subtle? 🤣
the proverbial sledge hammer
ty got it
31 words at bee
124 points
bbl
I think I'm giving up at 29 words, 119 points
yeah...that doesn't bode well
I feel I've exhausted my vocab there today
reusing the letters is the tricky part
took me a long time to find the big word
he is apparently not into thai cooking
actually he is...I typoed :)
32
ha, yeah, the pangram took me a bit too
you said there were 35?
yes
and 149 pts I think
oh well, that suggests big words left
at least 2
although to be honest, not sure how the points work there :)
yes
you get 1 pt for 4s, 5 for 5s, 6 for 6s, etc
ah
well could be smaller then
do you just subtract 3 from the word length?
no, the word length is the score, except for 4s, which is only 1 pt
ah
well I have 3 left...17 points, so that could be manageable
I need 6 words and 30 pts, so I could need all 5 letter words, or any combo that adds up to that. too many left for me to tell, but yes, yours is doable I think.
assuming no 4s :)
well, you could have a 4 and 2 8's, or anything. so yeah, will probably be easier once you get down to 2 left
33 ...139
34 - 144
so you have a 4 + 9, or 2 5's
too fast. so you have a 5 left.
now just a 5
I still haven't found any more
well, I gotta go clean the griddle. good luck with the last one, moo. and good luck lurkers here.
tx
Fw!!!
Just got here. 12 Gs, huh?
