Ante
quick 100 down - what a grid!
55 left and still 4 8's to go
will see you all tomorrow
dang it, i thought sure i had a 9
if they ar6 the wrong guy, it's a misar6
but no
Letting him go isn't a disar6 either
no, but i wouldn't really have expected that one to count :)
Then why expect the mi?
because it's a more plausible word
we already have other words for letting go, like release
so we don't need a di9 for that
but i do need help with the top left S, i only have two of those
me too
morning hokie :)
howdy
i suppose we have the same two
both very normal sa4
yep
I spent a lot of time on those last night and can't figure out what in the world they would be
yeah not even smelt to take care of one of them
they are the two I have as well
Finally a big grid.
yes, indeed, scrabs!!
hey katie and scrabbs
Hello all.
'morning, everyong
Hello :)
...and everyone, too :)
No tornado in you town, welki?
hey welki
I also only have 4 from the other upper S. quest for HOET not going so well
thankfully, no - there was a horrific one here in on july 14, 2000, 12 dead, so folks are a bit squirrelly when we get watches and warnings
Good, welki.
I only have 2 from that one as well
oh i did see news about derechos over the plains
oh i can help with the corner S, i have all of them
some of those photos were incredible
let's see, there's the mountains
there's the name of the lion cub/king minus the letter that isn't in the grid
you can add a consonant to the end of that one for another word, and then you can pluralize both of those
then there's the game where you run fake people's lives
thank you hurshy :)
phantom sidearm and warhead. must be in a mood.
I have only just started playing again after years off so fireworks on a 380 word grid will be a stretch.
*hands out flak jackets*
welcome back, Katie!
I forgot how much fun it is
yeah, I probably won't bother with finishing today. and welcome back!
Welcome back, KatieMcG!
i remember you, katie - another welcome back from me :)
word i'm making up: sh6: the belief that the world would be better if it were run by women
ok, got them all now except the mountains. must be too slow for that. actually, I need to make coffee.
found 2 more from top S - SA& = SA + cons. + ME5 --- remove last vowel for SA6
should read SA7 = SA + cons. + ME5 --- remove last vowel for SA6
I used to play every day but haven't had a laptop for years and it just isn't the same on a pad. glad to be back
thank you very much, monty!
np ☺
am at the A, 2nd col....and struggling a bit...
any stranger things fans feel sad seeing Ed5 in the grid? i sh4 a te4 for him
I only have 9 of those a's
just made it to 9 as well...
those As aren't really too bad
i have 15
65 A's is not my idea of a good time. where is bea?
wd hurshy
just have to go various directions
a few al, a few as, a couple ae...
and struggling with this SA7 clue with 8 letters and must be an ME5 I don't have/can't find.
there was a TV show called The Me5list
sorry, it was SA8
ok, that is the me5 I have
got it, thx
got to 12 As...moving on...
I'm going to bottom right corner, that's where I fell asleep last night
FWs

Yay Grannie!

I have a di8 but i don't think that's it
same
stomach ailment
good morning all - carla giving crappy clues again?
yep
lol
oohh, crappy
got it
ty i got them!!
that puts me at 90% too
phantom: herald
my problem is that I always forget how to spell that word
i didn't realize you can pl that word, i mean how would you use that in a sentence?
immodium treats various di9?
are there different kinds of di9, is that maybe, like doctors would say?
I don't question plural words with enable, just try them all
there are various types, I would guess
idk
but wouldn't it be different forms of di8 -- as forms is the pl?
similar to why you can pluralize the an6
yes, according to the WHO, there are 4 types
so a doctor giving a talk about a treatment might say it works on two of the di9, theoretically
i suppose, just sounds weird to say it out loud
yes
Tx for the di9!!
350 words!!
Back after talking with mom.
