zo6.33
Thanks, looking
And finding. Cheers!
got the African fly
Does anyone yet have that lone N in the fourth column, third row? If so, may I have stats?
NI 7/28? plural
I have an ni7/28, but the silly word isn't from there (you old ni7/28) :D
I have all the Ns, but dont know which column they all are
Ah, yeah, given the layout of the grid, I can see how that can be a problem. It's full of Ns and Is!
Its gotta be NI 5/10. Japanese
Nope, it's not that, assuming I've got the correct Japanese ni (second generation Japanese American, typically)
I think it is a plural
single n is a ni6
TY Movieman
yw lynx
Yes, a plural ni6
Aaah - anyone have the point total for that plural ni6, please?
Thanks for the Z clue. I have NBT and NBS, I don't get why the ch8 (think ni7' hi7) isn't a word. I learned it fair and square from the 3 little pigs!
ni 6/18 matty
what a funny looking grid
phantom: ionic
It's Eyes and Ens Day
INdeed
gridshaming
lol
hello...may I have stats for the single top i please
not there yet :)
i think that's just in4/4
ty
That lone N is killing me.
It ends in a plural of a light switch position
i found the lone n
Thank you - you're a Babble lifesaver ;)
phantom: ersatz
and etna
Sounds like a fake phantom to me
ha
nonster: an ogre who is not really scary at all
Shrek
and maybe the dragon is so heavy that it's a tonster
note
and a woman who turns down nine suitors is called a ninster
wow gem that is a large picture of a dessert tray.
Those of you who like to blurt grid words are hinsters
Sorry, hintsters
remember an advertisement for certs - it contained retsin!
It is time for another Icon Resizing 101 refresher.
Two, two, two mints in one
now that makes me think of the doublemint gum commercials
Nope, that was double your pleasure, double your fun
i know, i'm just saying it made me think of it
echos of spiro agnew in the grid
I hope no one ever mistook doublemint gum for a breath mint
hmm, my 5s just finished themselves
phantom: astonish
estonich: a surprised person from a former SSR
phantom: instestate
i think you mean that without the first S
Hi all! I need the two N words for the Ns with only one word. Stats and clues please. Ty.
mkg - see molly at 8:46
yes.. that's a typo hursh
Ty for lone n--it was vexing me.🙂
8 left: 2-0-1-2-2-1
24 here.
lots of vowels today
There are two lone Ns and i am trying but not getting them.
20!
mkg: one is a plural which rhymes with a plural of the disney mouse's girlfriend.
Inon
or was she his wife? we will never know.
NOT GETTING THE N WORDS. Darn
and that brings up the joke. which we can't say in polite company
which got harlan ellison fired from disney
Minnie was a hooker
is that the title of a new Primus song ru?
i thought she was a low-down hoochie coocher
Minnie the moocher
could be... I don't know primus
bea gets points for obscure jazz reference!
primus has "jerry was a race car driver"
loved cab calloway
It's not obscure, it was in The Blues Brothers
and Jeeves & Wooster
they also have Wynona's Big Brown Beaver
primus sucks!
ooh found my first 9. 16 to go.
Okay, now we are covering sketchy territory talking about Wynona's private parts
Got one of them. The fifth row one. Now still need the one for the 4th column. Any help welcome. That is the ni 4
I didn't talk about Wynona's private parts, Primus did
and don't forget the south park theme song, mael
:)
i feel like the other 9 may be an S word, but i could be wrong. it is either A, E, or S, at any rate.
sa
I am assuming the single N is a nonstarter?
see molly at 8:46
nice, i guessed right!
No clue what that means. The single n is a plural
a non-starter? get it?
I only crack myself up, alas
nion
i got it mael but it took me a sec :)
oops. didnt mean to noodle IN the chog. lol
Ha ha but i still dont have the N for the 3rd row 4th column….
I'm laughing on the inside.
There are severe penalties for chat noodling
10 lashings with a wet noodle.
I would be laughing if it was funny
and sorry, I meant the other single N. I have the plural
Ok all…………. Does anyone have a real stat for that lone N?
I will settle for that
Stats and clues are in the chat
All other ns are grey
punning is a great way to go through life, Molly
ni6/18, mkg.
Ty. Now i must find the word. Ty harry. I was given a 4 and it is not possible. Ty
got it, thanks
I had the singular
it's very twisty
but minnie had a heart as big as a whale
heidy heidy heidy hi
hody hody hody ho
heedy heedy heedy hee
W00T! Hi All. I like when the grid is <200. Better chance of me finishing it!
I have the plural of the mouse but not seeing the singular. Darn,.
Is this where I confess that I've never seen the Blues Brothers?
i have 4 left. 2-0-0-1-1
Go hurshy!
I don't think I've ever sat through the whole thing either mael. but I've probably seen it in pieces.
they spell EASE
i like it when they spell things
The blues brothers?????????huh??????????
Ok all this is crazy. I still dont have that n word.
it is a movie
not a clue, mkg, just talking about cab calloway
Ok. Well i have the ni 7 that is what you are speaking of. And i know the song. But there is no 6 for it. Tried several versions.
the ni6 is plural of an ni5 which comes from the middle N
the ni7 is not related to the ni5 and 6
the no6 has nothing to do with the ni7
Ty
I GOT IT. Hurshy ty for this clue
Whew. I always feel so stupid.
Off for the day.
have a fun day, mkg
11 to go here. I am missing 2 Cs, and keep looking for cistern.
Harry, you are so kind to Mkg, good to see
probably same two Cs i'm missing Harry
well mael it's not cistern, so don't bother entering it.
I found one!
there is a ch8
I was just to say that Bea, great minds think alike
and it's not one with the biggest facial feature, alas
that's my missing one.
if you have the 6 it is the plural
ty md :)
the 6 was the one I had just gotten
yw :)
Harry, what part of Mass are you from?
mael - they sound like one who is overly thrifty
boston area, md
as a kid, I lived in Dorchester for 6 yrs, as an adult, I worked and lived in Norwell area
how about this stupid drought and heat wave, harry?
awful mael. it's over tonight!
well the heat wave anyway. the drought will be with us for awhile.
I think we lost some young trees.
and all these chances of thundershowers are just vanishing...
we're losing established trees, I've never seen it this bad!
I feel terrible running our a/c so much, just exacerbating the situation. but it's so uncomfortable
7 to go here!
1-1-1-1-2-1
6
howdy folks
5!
hi carla :)
Hi hokie
137! go harry!
4 to go here. 0-0-1-0-1-1
0-0-1-0-2-1 rather
it's a lovely grid.
good to hear
ugly on the outside, but it's got a great character.
lol
already struggling with the first tile - C. but I have 4 so moving on!
like a pineapple
I think this might be one of those days where everyone but me thinks this is easy
it was easy for me until I got down to 20, now I'm very stuck :)
not a lot of weird words at least!
there are certain players that I ignore how easily they finish, and you are one
it's funny, I always feel like you have a much easier go at it than me!
Me too Carla. The speed at which some players get through these grids eludes me.
yep
phantom: satanist
these last 4 are impossible. I'm taking a break - gotta write some letters of rec. have a nice day all!
That is rather strange since Carla is always here long after you are finished, mael
but mael and ruru are stealthy about their finishes. are they finding them all without a list, or going to the list with a few left to finish up? maybe I should have more mystery.
exactly, molly. certain people come in and finish in one fell swoop. I come back all day long looking.
What? You mean not put every minute detail of how you are solving the grid in the chat?
I'm sure it's what the people want 🤣
I list at the very end, usually, because I like finishing. I just play when I'm at my desk for work, it helps me relax haha
Carla is there after but I just feel like she has an ease to it :)
oh geez, i'm like the slowest player here
I wouldn't think so, you're always so helpful
I think I got you there, hokie. The grids I actually finish take me forever!!
maybe you are too busy folding paper ðŸ˜
ha
😊
I just can't stare at the yellow screen for too long anymore. I gave up caring about finishing a long time ago.
I definitely can let it go now without finishing
I'm staring anyway, at least this is a break from work emails :) I also play muted while I'm on stupid conference calls
There is sound?
that confused me too, but I think she means she has her phone muted so they don't hear the typing
the clicky clacky of the keyboard would give me away
ahh
thinks mael needs to learn stealth typing
back when I worked in the late 90s I had no work to do and a minesweeper addiction. the guy I shared a cube wall with would yell over, "you sweeping?"
lol
hah
minesweeper was so fun
I type during conference calls all the time
I am a very heavy typer, not sure why. I'd rather mute my mic than worry about it
we also did not have internet until '97 or '98
I would be finding words faster if it weren't for the neighbors having a screaming match and my husband asking me about my family tree...
I am surprised you are old enough to know minesweeper, mael.
haha bea, hope there is no gunfire today
it was getting pretty heated
I'm not that young! we didn't have internet when I was a wee one either, just lots of minesweeper and solitaire
We had a thunderstorm yesterday. First rain since last month
oh bichon, I'm so jealous!
did it bring some cooler temps too?
we had one as well. looks like my rain gauge is at 1/2".
*Imagines maels co-workers shouting "Could you please stop typing so loud??"
we have one daily though
and it's so humid again today, like walking in soup
I work from my home office, so it's just me a my cats unless I'm on a conference :) luckily for them my cats don't care
today's bee is haaaaard
hi all. help with lone N please
I can't find either one, peri
Here we go
there are two
and i thought the same thing molly.
lone N 4th column pls.
both the lone Ns are plural
and agree on the bee, hurshy, haven't tried much, but only 3 words so far.
ooh, found the 5th col
N
Your brainiac friend will pop in and claim to be almost done with Spelling Bee
I thought I was in trouble with the Bee, there were too many possibilities left
i got to genius but there are 6 more words and i don't know what they can beeeeeeee
hah, sorry, I meant wordle
bee's done :)
if it makes you feel better, molly, one time ruru told us he doesn't like the bee because it's too easy for him.
better than yesterday! where every single word ended in Y!
I wasn't talking about Ru and see, male is done with Spelling Bee too.
Oops mael
mael you're done as in you got queen bee?
I know who you're talking about, but mael and hurshy are just as good as moo on the bee. I'm super slow at it, just like here!
Me, I'm done with all the hard word games I play and I have read the entire internet!! TA DA!
Queen Bee for Mr. B
I'm still trying to find that 4th col N. stats please?
ni6/18
lone N in 4th column is ni6/18 a pl
Well, I believe Mr B is a word game genius. I've seen him strut his stuff on TV.
i keep seeing things like actividad at the bee
yes, it's spanish
and the yogurt, activia
yeah, I like the small boards. Queen Bee is much easier even if the words are usually harder to come by!
and verbs that end in E
I'm mad that ATAVIC isn't a word today
it's only 20 words for QB today
yes and i have 16
also no ADIT
Really, Mooly. Jeopary, 7 second quiz, Who wants to be a Millionaire?
sorry Molly
I think it was Jeopardy.
He was wearing a beret.
wait, he's been on all those? and what is 7 second quiz? never heard of that.
That was a looong time ago. He won one game and then a trip to Hawaii for 2
Sorry, Million Second Quiz
still never heard of it
I am no good with trivia!
Ryan Seacrest was the host
people who are good at Jeopardy are like wizards, to me
interesting
NBC 2013
I'm pretty good at Jeopardy from my couch 😜
Mr. B was a university librarian. He was known as "The man who knows everything"
All that library information just seeped into his brain via osmosis.
well that's pretty spiff
I thought the man who knows everything was a beloved babble player
back when I worked in the 90s with no internet, anytime something came up that we would just google these days, our admin would call up the library and ask them and they'd look it up. I had no idea you could ask librarians things other than where books were.
you should watch Desk Set
Katherine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy
No Ru, he just thinks he is the man who knows everything. (The Babble player)
ah.. ok.. my mistake
bye all, I'll come back later for my last 11 :)
have a great day
well, 41 left, no HOET. gotta go too. TTFN.
No hoet, gotta goet
is this place dead?
I forgot this â‰ï¸
I am here almost to half way only one 8 so far uggh

Thanks
thanks
ch 8/50
I have ST8
ty
another in8 = to have something appear right away.
I have another in8
thanks Carla
ty....
is the ch similar or something I should know?
I tried like crazy to spell it with a z which is the normal way if that helps
builds on ch 6/24
ty, cheryl...
Thanks, I didn't realise it could be spelt that way
ah, thanks
your welcome
st8 please
nm
I remembered the 6 from prior grids but didn't think about plural
I have ch8, in8x2, and st8 what am I missing?
no idea and I still haven't found the other in8
duh, had the 7
and there's another in7/8 where I had the 7
plural the one that comes fast
thaks Carll and everyone else
sorry Carla
there's another in8 that is plural of the 7, meaning to put in place.
I have 3 in8 - 2 plurals and 1 sing with a plural 9
hmmm....guess i am missing an in 8...
me too
Missing 4 8's here. Can't figure out either the st8 or the ch8, then one other.
st8 more rock like
ch8 is pl o the ch6/24
the ch 8 is pl...alt spelling of a type of cloth...
ahhhh....thank you peri!
yvw Cathy
is the Z word something i should know?...
No
ty...
taking a break...bbl....bye all....
hi all
hi moo
hey Soph, happy Tuesday
Happy Tues to you, too
hi all, back to find my last 25
rehi - I do not have Z yet either
z word ends in past tense of to ingest food
thx peri. I tried it with the -ic ending, but not this.
still no HOET!
hi all. Any clues for bottom row N?
10 left here
nm
joy - to chat/talk maybe incesssantly
way to go, moo, 34 here
1-3-3-0-2-1
33 here - 6-10-9-5-2-1
ty moo, I saw them right AFTER I asked for help, as often happens.
4 columns gray back later
no columns or rows gray here
only right column grey
Wow, how does someone grey 4 columns in 2 minutes
need one R to make first column grey, 2 C to make first row and 4th column grey
sophie's one of those super speedy players 🤣
I need 1 H to gray top row/5th col
I'm surprised this game doesn't bore people like that
if you're bored you can guess my H
do you have horse sounds?
I'm going to list with 40 words left, in hopes of getting some work done today.
me?
I don't see neigh
actually that's incorrect, it's a hybrid horse + donkey
I don't see mule
There's an AS8?!?
or honky
good morning/afternoon -- not seeing much of anything
maybe joy
lol
hey nan
rhymes with the plural of the word of a horse sound
well, that was easy, thanks, joy
is that a clue carla?
but mule I think is with male donkey and female horse, the h is when the genders are switched (or I may have it backward)
it's a pl like the at7 but with an s thrown in
ty, just monkeyed it but have no idea what it means
hmm, not sure I've ever heard of the other way. but I know thanks to tigon and liger it matters.
still 10 to go :)
yeah, it's not very common
ok, got it
I should just double check all my plurals
:)
phantom astute
that's very astute of you
finally HOET
still 10
28
not really lighting the world on fire here
I'm glad, it's hot enough already
almost streusel. that sounds good.
Missint on c - I think there was a ch 8 called? clue please?
plural of ch6, 24
it's a pl of the 6
alternate spelling of material
Sounds like plural of a fabric normally spelled with z
ty carla
Everyone chime in at once now
sophie beat me to it, nan, but yw
*and all
I can still clue it now that you have it if you like ;)
sounds like a good idea
lol mool
I'm sure there will be lots of opportunities to clue -- still need 50
still 10
21 now - 3-5-7-4-1-1
ooh, found a 5/6
ah, found a word
where were you when the utes left the building?
missing o x2 and don't know what else to try
utes are pickups in Australia :)
O still need 1 O
I still need 1 O
like pickup trucks?
probably the plural that doesn't have a singular in the ooard
yes, trucks
short for utility
makes sense
definitely the O I need
nan's is probably a set
have 3 sets
what is the stat for mine? feels like I know the ending but not getting anything to work.
there are 4 sets of 9s
and 2 plurals
er O's
not 9s
he means Os, right?
I'm talking about sets of 0's
multitasking :)
yeah, 4 sets of O's, nothing weird
so I am missing a set then
yes
mmm have ovens, westerns and animals
and I just need the plural without the sing
early starts of dementia, etc, nan
want to know what you are missing carla?
ty carla
yes, please
if you're in the desert...and you're thirsty
they're in the desert -- not a mirage
oh geez, thanks. I was going for the -ies ending.

LOL, now I know the song. they were muskrats.
came back for my last 5. FW! and we got a thunderstorm!
sam said to susie honey would you please be my missus
nice, mael
temperature dropped almost 20 degrees instantly
don't worry, it'll climb back up fast
Seriously, what kind of drugs do you have to be on to write a song about muskrat love?
it is a bit odd
I have C&T's greatest hits album on vinyl
missed a lot of normal words
oh, found a plural
oh I'd rather we never see temps in the 90s until next year, trust me
My bad I thought they were related
they could be for all I know about muskrats
amazing, they look just like all the rodents we were talking about yesterday
well, turns out my missing 3 T's were easy words
totally tremendous twist!
the 2 from the other T were words we've seen. yes, I have consulted the list.
still 4 to go
only s and t words left now
down to one R6
hmm, monkeyed it but not familiar with that
21 S words left who knew
well, good luck, all. getting back to work here.
