any clues for the sa8's?
to clean things
ty ru
That's an odd word.
3:30 in the morning i heard the Very Angry Cats... i put Opie and Fritz in the bathroom while i tried to look and see if there was a stray cat again or what. i couldn't see anything. it smelled like skunk outside, but not so strongly that it seemed like a skunk had been RIGHT THERE and got scared by them and sprayed right there. i left them in the bathroom just to be on the safe side. sigh.
i'm not allowed to talk about cats here
THAT is a catastrophe, ru
why not??
you have strong felines about this shirl?
i'm a pawrent and have been fur years
it gets certain players riled up mael
nothing more pawsome than kitties esp on the internets
do you say mean things about cats or something, ruru?
no hursh.. i like them.. i am allergic to them though
cats are not for everyone, only the smartest people like them ;)
i just got a wonderful offer from a woman I've never heard of wanting to leave me 30 million dollars... gosh I'm so lucky all the time
well, i'm going pretty well here. 13 left.
lol that's fab ruru
Must be the wife of the man that made me the same offer.
y'all need better spam filters lol
wow, ruru! what an offer
it just goes to show that I just don't need that much money in life, I'd rather she "give" it to someone else
upon reading it again it''s mostly for charity but I'm allowed to keep 9 million :D
you should pick your favorite charity and set up an automatic email to go back to that address every day encouraging them to give it directly to them
ok so for 8s i have mu, those two sa that were recently mentioned, and te
anyone know what the other one is?
vi8
is it related to vi7??
to one of the vi 7s yes
there are two sevens
oh ok so i need a pair probably
vi + locomotives
ty
9 left now, from 9 different tiles
phantom: truism
I bet all the long Vs are related to glass
the one i had before is not
idk about those ones ruru just helped me with
I have the ones ruru clued and they are, in a roundabout way
the other 7 means to take the strength out of something
huh, like the word that usually starts with an E?
well, sort of, but simpler
the E word is more, take the GUTS out
the viscera being the guts
this word comes more from spoiling something, etymologically
I was thinking more along the lines of evirate, which means castrate but apparently enable doesn't know it
oh ok i thought you meant eviscerate
not seeing the in7 word even with clues
but you could have like, a new piece of evidence in a court case that vi7s the whole defense argument
in7 = plead with
yeah, evirate means to castrate but also to weaken, and that's the one I'm stuck on right now
ty hursh
FW...and clues or stats wanted?
congrats phae
ty peri
I have vi7 with choo choo help with other vi7 please

u2 pen
she moves in mysterious ways ohhh it's alright, it's alright, alright
huh?
that's U2, the band :)
ah ok
This chat is eluding me. I have no idea where the U2 comment came from and Pen left a while ago.
pen said hagd and I said u2
phae said it, but I understand how you mixed them up :)
That is where I got lost. Phaeton said have a good day
U2 is a band. You too is you as well.
my ears are burning....i am back....
hi pen! there you are :)
:oD
Got bagels Pen?
yes...only six because they were out of ones I usually get...
also got chive cream cheese...
Mmm, chive cream cheese
it's yummy...
just made myself a brekkie of grilled tomato, air fried potatoes + scrambled eggs. got some fresh cherries for "dessert."
sounds yummy....
Guess that proper noun...Persian poet
Rumi...
Runi!
rumi

Ding ding, Pen wins a Persian rug
everyone know poets, that makes me happy
bbl
bye peri...
Are you on vacation Eva, or do you work from home now?
i work from home now. :)
ive actually been working from home for about 2 years now.
Ah, one of the fortunate
working from home is good and bad, I miss human interaction
it started as a covid thing, but i made it a permanent thing. lots of life changes these last few years + i couldnt have that horrendous commute.
i agree, mael.
the great parts are amazing, but I get pretty lonely
COVID made a lot of people realize what a toll their commutes were taking on them
i already KNEW i hated my commute, but covid changed everyones minds about telework. it made it a viable option.
Not for my boss. He doesn't believe in working from home. Very old school.
luckily my boss + my customer are very open minded.
good morning all
hi nan...

duh -- don't know why I couldn't see that!
bye all -- hagd
What is a babblet?
It is some weird, made up word to describe words you only see when playing this game.
LOL Okie dokie then....
Back in the early days of this game, people used some strange terms
I think many of the words accepted here are not accepted anywhere else :-)
The word list this game uses has not been updated since the year 2000
wow
Also, it accepts some foreign words, but not all. For example, merde French for shit is accepted. Merci French for thanks is not.
avian
FW! have a good day everyone
well i listed for my last four words....should have found the four that I missed....
18 left man that x is in alot more words than you would expect in this grid
some odd unfamiliar words here...
i still have 92 left. dont even have NBT yet... my brain just aint findin em today.
true
it's not an easy grid...
I have found more than a few by fat fingering for sure
gotta go get some laundry done....bye all...
one of the biggest dangers of working from home is when you leave at lunchtime to run an errand + dont want to come back.
At least you can get stuff done during the week and don't have to cram it all into two weekend days. Hence the reason most women are so exhausted all the time.
very much agreed. my mental health + quality of life is hugely improved because im not spending all my "spare" time adulting. but im also a single mom 50% of the time, so thats tough.
whoa, who blew the chat?
oh, 'twas Pen
And she has no cat to blame it on
The single Mom gig is tough Eva. I did it for years. But I have great kids so it was worth it.
yup. and its so much better for everyone involved than being together and unhappy.
and while his dad + i werent good together, i dont think hes a terrible person. hes just a mess. and he can be someone ELSES mess.
Here's to someone else getting the mess. Cheers!
shes a mess too. so i guess theyre a great match. LOL
Sounds like a match made in hell.
hah. i dont hate her, but i dont particularly care for her either.
good gravy is that top-left corner S just really unusual words? or am i being dense?
Unusual words
ok. at least im not being TOO dumb. lol
Day 11, second day in a row testing negative! I still tire easily but yay recovery!
yay! moving in the right direction!
Yes, I’m so glad! I go home tomorrow I’ve been in a hotel since a week ago Sunday.
I hear an alarm, from another room. I think next door.
not quite the staycation you hope for...
No, but a king suite at the near to home Courtyard by Marriot has been lovely. It’s been nice having two rooms, and a mini kitchen (small sink, small fridge, small microwave)
I look forward to seeing my cats.
I found a Pokemon....not one most of you would know though
and no, it wasn't acceptable lol
if ya gotta qurantine, do it in style!
LOL Jeff! I see it.
It took Latin ta5.22, but not the Latin ma5 with a similar ending. Huh.
morning ll
60 left... my brain cells may be tapped out...
65 left for me, so right there with you eva
Good morning, moolingwa
sa8 grocery. In 1947 “Your sa8 is now your Safeway†serving Washington, DC since 1888.
4 left and none of them are 4s first time I have ever done that 1 is a 5 one 6 one 7 and one 8
I’m guessing you checked plurals for the 5?
yeah going back over that now all the words start with t I have left
got the 6
Go, go cherlyq!
only the 5 left
watch it will be a simple word lol
Fw at least it was not a word I was familiar with India marshland?
Congrats, cherlyq!
how's everyone today?
quiet...
multitasking :)
I have no idea what that Safeway comment means
t
Neither of the sa8 words have anything to do with Safeway or former names
Molly - one does if you lived in the DC or VA areas
Well, as it turns out, Washington area Safeways were called Sa8 (the clean one) But that is the most obscure clue for that word I can think of. And I do live in that area. Didn't in 1947 though
A couple decades ago my folks moved to a small town where the diner on the Main Street was the Sa8 Restaurant. Which... I mean... I guess it's appetizing?
Not to me. It brings menstrual protection to mind.
I was comparing it to the un10 Restaurant :=-)
could I get a clue for the TE7/8?
lol, I got an SA8! and I had no idea what the safeway clue meant.
I am finished with painting (for now)!
Are you painting a portrait or a wall?
we have painted our entire house. well, except for the bathrooms, but I can take my time on those since no furniture will go there.
Phew. A lot of work.
indeed
but these walls and trim were so ugly and we didn't want to pay a painter $8500
we shall now dub you Frida
I just had to leave the one room I was working on today for my own (phantom) sanity. painted the walls like 2 mos ago and taped them to paint the trim, and the tape pulled the wall paint off, so then I was touching all that up and there's a 2" section between 2 closets that pulled off almost the entire paint, and of course I got touch-up paint on the trim.
you're convincing me that it's worth hiring someone else to paint
LOL
all 3 bathrooms are ugly. one has wallpaper, and I can't decide whether to remove it or paint it.
how are there 5 y's?
found some, whew
found all!
Carla, you all remind me of my in-laws. They would buy a house and do stuff to it until there was nothing left to do and then go buy another one.
mr. homie says he's never leaving here then he talks about upgrading in a few years within the neighborhood
I am antirat, why isn't that a word
antivax isn't there either, but that's a pretty modern concept, sadly.
yep
I saw it a few minutes ago and got angry
I just had COVID and it sucked. I am very grateful for the vaccine, which likely made it relatively mild. Almost everyone who is dying of COVID now is unvaccinated.
the antivax movement started by that quack dr is older than you think, but probably after enable, plus would probably just be anti-vaccine
Right, Wakefield started it, phonying the data to make $$$.
yep
He still promotes his work -- I had an argument on Facebook with some antivaxxer a couple of years ago who told me "I choose to believe Dr. Wakefield."
1998
and he's not even a doctor anymore
Seems like that is all people do on Facebook anymore, argue. I have about a dozen friends who have quit it.
There's a lot of arguing, but for me there's also a lot of catching up with friends who are far away
feels like we just had that te7/8 this week
I have always used email to keep in contact with friends. I don't like doing it on a public forum.
have definitely lost touch with a lot of people since I quit FB a few years ago
NTPN - tumbler
well, 31 left after first pass. and HOET.
21 left here

1 m on the top
how dare you
I do dare
I am stuck on the AR7
well I guess I am too
nope, there it is
think of fancy bread or some other product
ty carla
and an anagram of russian royalty, or ancient spears :)
pretty twisty
and backwards
like the proverbial pretzel
is there a proverb about a pretzel?
let me check...
My mother always said, 'When you're eating pretzels, chew before you swallow'. Always listen to your mother. — George W. Bush
Love makes intellectual pretzels of us all. — Sarah Bird
these pretzels are making me thirsty- George Costanza
Oh, I saw that attributed to Jerry
I think they both said it in the episode but I don't remember all the deets
indeed
watching the scene on YT - kramer said it first
of course
but they all said it
I was just surprised you knew who I was talking about since you don't watch TV
Well I did watch some back in the day
pretty much anything much after around 2007 or so...not so much
haven't really regular watched series/showss since the mid 90s
I don't watch as much as I used to since I have a million different streaming services and it's hard to keep track of everything.
worked my way down to 13... 5-4-2-1-1
yeah, I have a million different streaming services
still 23
D+, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max and Peacock so far
and also have a SlingTV subscription, though only for hockey
D+, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Discovery+, Peacock, Paramount+
I'm tempted to add AppleTV too
Oh, we have Curiosity too
I am annoyed with hulu live, we can't watch at our new house because we used up all our zip code changes for the year. guess I'll call them if possible.
had to factory reset one of the TVs the other day, so had to go through the process :)
forgot about AppleTV+, have that
I really like Roku, have that on three screens
what's annoying is we moved to a new zip in Sept, but it's the same local tv markets and then when I switched ISPs it changed it again, which is stupid since it didn't change.
The other two using their native "SmartTV" OS
yeah, I have 3 or 4 apple tv's, a roku, and 2 fire sticks but now all our tv's have their own. I hate one of them, so should just use one of the others.
it's an LG, but we put LG's on our motorhome that are good, but this one is completely different and stinks.
yeah, my main TV is an LG, so has the WebOS smartTV
then I have a Sony one with Android
we have a couple of samsungs and for my sewing room I bought a cheap fire TV.
I put the roku on my samsungs, and in my movie room....just better than the crap Samsung interfaces
I don't like the samsungs interfaces or remotes, that's why I said we should get that LG. 🤣
yeah, they're crap
But basically got the two TVs and the smart DVD when I bought my movie room stuff
got them for free that is
I got the roku for free when I had sling tv
so it's kinda old as are the apple tv's, but I might pull them out when we are fully moved in and see if they can be updated.
yeah, got my roku's last year, so pretty new, two sticks and a box
found two more years
er words :)
sorry, on a call at the same time
lol
I am looking for 4's now
4-3-2-1-1
6-5-5-5-2
surprising how many smaller words left here
yeah, not finding any
greyed first column
nice
what do governments do to their populous? taxum
populace
sheesh
haha
keep seeing the same phantoms
perhaps you're having a psychotic break
maybe
certainly not seeing any words in this grid
or could be just sleep deprivation
I am almost falling asleep
probably the paint fumes
probably
all those inorganic compounds
- T M - - - A - - - - - VV Y - - - - - TT - - T A -
this M is mystifying
yeah, there's some unusual words
also very confused about my 6 4's
yeah, I still have 4
found my last 6
found my last m
magnificent
maybe
maximus?
naughtius
very fine fwiend in wome
4-2-0-1-1
FW for me. Anyone need clues?
how's the bee? I'm still on amazing.
no idea what I need, but thanks, joy
and huzzah!
I'm often told to get a clue
ooh, found an easy 4
carla, you got me hooked on Spelling Bee. I'm so compulsive that I can't go to bed until I'm the Queen Bee.
oh, and another one
I haven't started today's yet
wow, I usually strive for genius but it doesn't often happen
I did it before I started babble today...normally stop at amazing
sorry yes genius
I got to amazing pretty quickly today and then got stuck
I was about to call BS on that statement 🤣
yeah, I shot through to genius in about 10-15 minutes today....just seemed to come easier
started off with the pangram, and went from there
I have 10 words to queen bee, 5 points to genius
same, pangram was the first I saw
no idea on either :)
I have 25 words and 92 points
make it 26 and 98
I have 26, total is 36 today
so I have 26 and 85 points which means you have missed a lot of 4's
oh, apparently
well there's three of them
29 and 101
this is why you are much better at serpentine, see the big words, whereas I see the small ones
yeah, I hate doing the small boggles
all typing :)
I used to play 5x5 with 6 letter minimum...liked that
i'm not so good at the 6 letter words 🤣
really?
hehe
To be honest, I'm better at 7s than 6s
played a lot of scrabble, and six letter words aren't as useful as the other common lengths
and 7/8s are very usefual
well, I decided to go to the list. it's not going super fast.
2-2-0-1-1
just started.
hello all
T VV Y T A
harry!
hi carla, mool.
Hello Mr Hood
this v is curious
and the y for that matter
corner E has got me stumped.
I somehow grayed the Y on first look
yikes
corner e is a regular word, harry
nm, fond it
missing one on the Y
5 to go
oh. ty carla.
always miss that for some reason.
probably the same one I was missing
not sure if it too is mongolian
2-1-0-1-1

yes, I have v7x2 and v8 left
I have v7/8 left
I can't find any of them
well you may have heard of the "culture"
ooh, found the set you need, now just need the other 7
and no, it's not a word I've ever seen
take the culutre and turn it into a verb sounding word
fw
wtg mool!
nice, you beat me on the list
tx, only the one accidental clue today, so pretty happy with that
Is anyone having trouble with Lickity?
yeah, once I knocked out the 4s, that made it easier to wrangle the remaining
no, came up fine for me
I don't interact with lickity, so never have any prroblems ;)
Thanks hokie. I'll try again later.
looked up the last one. would never have monkeyed that.
lickety's a nice guy, you should interact with him when you see him, moo
I will keep that in mind
30 words on Bee
he is an aussie so I don't see him a lot
I have seen him post after the flip on occasion
but given I don't use his services, have nothing really to say
well, he has an automated note when his page changes after the flip, so that's not really him
well there you go
chances are I've never seen him then
35 to go. still missing 8 of those bottom Ts!
totally trying today
must be a clue in there somewhere, but I'm just too tired :)
actually there isn't
oh! that's funny - cause there's so much trying in the grid.
hi all (diving in) (might be too hot to finish)
nbt woot
sima
hoet, except one, woot
bowing out, cheers y'all
mils
Tessagram, put your words in the ADD WORD box
Any clues for the 8s? Ty
Just need one tiny 8 letter word to be done. Any help welcome. All help welcome. And more help welcome. Ty
Got the mu 8 so all set. Syal
I don't know how hokiecarla knows that Lickety's message is automatic. I do know that he has sometimes added a comment that definitely isn't.
The
The clues are up comment is an automated message. And I know that because Lickety told me.
yes he does sometimes post something else that is really him
is it live? or is it memorex?
