di8 is a good one

There is an si6 between that last si8 and si7
was curious about Deanoz at 3:28 and bluey
Australian cartoon dog
Hi IG. I missed the grid yesterday. Too busy.
Hi, Scrabbler - been busy here as well
I'm having fun now.
all right!
we had most rain in 24 hours in history - flooding and no power for 8 hours yesterday
Oh, no. Did your basement flood?
no basements here - streets flooded. The lake is up 10'
Was the lake low?
just about the lowest ever - now flood stage - amazing
What a change.
nice day today, tho. How things there?
Another rainy day here, third in a row. But I am working all day and on call.
Youre amazing
I am hanging in there until retirement in 2+ years.
then youll head for the hills and trails
Absolutely!
Nice gerund in the grid btw
doesn't seem to help with the W though
1st row done, missing 1 W ...
i only have 3 of them
i have a WE 5/6 combo...
hmmm
i have a 5/7 combo
here too
try a 7 Mont
ok thanks got your combo
ty lyn !!
aHA thanks lynxxx
2nd row not going as well as the 1st...
i have all but 2 D and 1 H
got the Ds!
an unusual hi5.14
ty again!!
woot woot
rats, can't spell seagull with only on eL
name that proper noun! big green aliens in Christopher Eccleston's season of Doctor Who
sorry, never watched the Dr...
your loss :)
there's another major Who word here but it's a regular word so cannot use it for NTPN
if you say so ☺
stupid stupid words
?
I'm just not enjoying doing grids so much lately - needs Morewords etc to find all the obscure ones
sorry to hear that
me to lyn, did not finish yesterdays
hello all
but the challenge is still there lyn...
me too
gm peri
hi Peri
I agree, the grids have been a lot less enjoyable lately
And it's not a challenge if the words are so obscure that you would have no way of finding them without help
phantom: penguin
goodnight everyone
goodnight lyn
night, sleep well
anyone have the lower E?
no
help with corner D please
wrestling with that myself :)
de6 untruth
lend
ending
sorry!
ty gran
Little de5 coupe and the past tense which I didn't think was a word
it's cause people have used it as a substitute for "damned"
thank you
Morning all, trying to get back in the habit of playing every morning
morning sukee :)
Hi hurshy
The lower E ends in the 22nd letter of the Greek alphabet
thanks
what's the stat of the word for those of us who don't know the greek alphabet?
Degeneres without the double consonant in the middle
Meaning just use one of the double consonant
well, not elen. which is why I asked for the stat. 🤣
Also a kind of tea...the ending
It is el7 and you have the beginning
different spelling
Thanks for the MLF move of posting it in the chat 😊
thank you, now I can narrow down a search
well, I knew I was posting what you were saying but my point was it wasn't helping when I had no idea how long the word was.I'll just go back to my regularly scheduled first pass.
by the way, the definition is refuting an argument :)
never seen that or the singular before
me neither
I had to look up what the 22nd letter was
me too
It is words like that, that piss people off
the def. says "college level". I went to college! never seen it.
yeah i didn't know it either
And I took several university English courses
Level this, Enable
But I guess it would be more in philosophy
but i don't mind there being a couple of weird words in a grid as long as i can find MOST of the words
yeah, but you're not really the average player, so molly's statement doesn't apply to you
today's Bee, on the other hand... yowzers
I got to genius on today's before I got out of bed. LOL.
but struggled on some other days this week
Is that Spelling Bee at the Times
hmm ok then i must be being thick
yes, sukee, but hurshy plays a free one that is the same letters.
sort of, sukee. read info in my profile
ok got genius now
it took me a long time to think of the pangram
well, I couldn't see the pangram until I saw the letters in a different way
I'll check them out
yeah
i just keep wanting words that don't use the M, like window and widow
The more word games the better
yeah, I had that problem too
You guys could make money starting a Spelling Bee chat.
or just use something like discord
i just found a new one called waffle
well, going for a walk. will have to come back to this later. TTFN
the conversation in Waffle are too syrupy
Dear God, how many word games can a person play in one day? I don't even have time to finish this one most days.
this one takes a lot longer than any of the others though
Oh well, I got superb for the first one
well done sukee :)
Every time I see the word pi4 I think of Captain Kangaroo reading The Story of Pi4, about the Chinese duck on the Yangtze River
lunga
excuse me
Hurshy hocked a lunga
hope you don't mind if i blurt you a clue, molly, but double the vowel in the word you just referred to
thank you both!
a couple of the tiles are giving me fits
Blurt away, I have no idea what you're talking about
Oh, the duck. Yeah, another ridiculous word
yep
Name that proper noun...a high end brand of teddy bears and stuffed animals
hmm, can only find 2 i's on the 3rd row. am I being daft?
No, the other 4 are weirdos
great, thanks
phantom chili
The teddy bears are Gund. No one wins.
sorry, I tried but couldn't think of anything
i would have gotten it but wasn't here
I wouldn't have gotten it
mooo
morning hoke, happy day of Tue
thanks, you too
mucho gracias
hello...may I have stats for lower right E pls?
hey phae
seems as if i keep finding words but still have so many to go- if that makes any sense. a long puzzle
same here Owl
el7/36, phae
okay time to close chat have fun
hey, henge is still not a word, guys
figures it couldn't be any easy one...ty carla
no prob
right side s is surprisingly hard for an S and for a tile with 31 words.
why do all the D words come from the top D?
are you asking the mechanics of the grid? it goes top to bottom, left to right, so if I word can come from either, it always comes from the first one.
so I think the corner D is going to be dr something
I have 2 DE from it
finally found an 8
ah, I have five 8s so far
I have a re8...don't know about the other 11.
just found se8
of course you do, moo

ha, just made up 2 that worked.
heh
and a 3rd to gray it. top row gray!
2 pi 6's?
nope, sorry. I just have one right below a pa6
but I still need 12 P's

heh
unless you are an austrian skier I guess
re 8 please?
any help on that left i?
I have 2 nan, one is an ocean doing something and one is a pt of the verb that looks like a condiment
which one?
the i on the right...is for 3 of them, il for one...need to look up the other one
oh, il for two of them
well, I need 2 there, so thanks, but was looking at the left i with 6.
is x3
probably in 5,6,7,7
I have in4 and 6
it's the ocean one i guess
if you have se8 it's the same except the first letter
guess a male hairline would be better clue
there's a set of 3 in's
don't have the se 8 either
well texas and california have both talked about se8 from the US :)
Nan, the re is what a man's hairline will do
ok, would love some help on the in's since I can't seem to monkey any and molly said they were weird
have that one, ty mool
They are in words and end in various forms of what you get with an appliance, a ______ Manual
thank you for helping me HOET
carla - back in the day kids used to ask their parents to ex**** them from the dinner table. replace the ex with in
first col gray
I am looking for the last re 8 - have the first two
oh, I only have 2
and I'm looking for the se 8/45
okay, you are looking for things I don't know exist. sorry I can't help. still need 7 8's.
just now remembered that big group of SH words moo mentioned this morning.
and I have no idea
The last re8 is re + a position lying flat on the back, face upward
didn't have the root either, thanks
and I didn't realize you could redo adj
Ends in a kind of Christmas tree
so stupid the things you can and can't add re to. that's the stuff that makes me angry in this game.
What a nutso word!
Agree!
no idea on the lying on your back word
ends in Christmas tree
starts with another word for eatting dinner
There, we got ends in a Christmas tree twice
christmas tree is a tree - know no other name for it
what kind of trees are used for Christmas trees?
The kind of tree Nan
su6, rhymes with lu6 that I thought was wolf like but apparently is a flower or seed.
ok - think I see it, ty
not a fraser fir, but a tree that drops cones
what a silly word
se8/45 ends in the singular of the ____ of March. Starts with s + degeneres minus one L
Perfect timing! I'm on the L as we speak. Thanks!
don't forget our fave werewolf from harry potter
Nan, you have never heard of that lying on your back position?
yes - just couldn't think of it
Carla blurts another one. Give her some beano
ty for the se Molly
not sure how my blurt is any worse than you spelling out the se8 that I didn't see anyone ask for.
but thanks, I didn't have nor wouldn't have gotten
I was gonna forget it, carla...thank you!
The werewolf.
I didn't even remember it, just thought I'd try it.

I only played a little since I was still working back in 2004
I had to stop for a while because I became obsessed with finishing every day.
i worked until 2008...
I only worked until 2000. in an office. worked a lot at home.

So I need a de 6. Gotcha
