ty gillie and freep

12:54 am

ty freep - those are even weirder, I think

12:54 am

the 8 doesn't even look like a real word

12:55 am

Definitely not a sequence of vowels you see often

12:56 am

nope

12:56 am

I'm trying to come up with another word with that

12:56 am

(ummm... other than a babblet that is in the grid today)

12:57 am

I went to morewords and came up with 8 total

12:57 am

well over half way, but still no 8's -- maybe tomorrow. Goodnight everyone :)

12:58 am

Thanks, Gillie. We have 25% of them, and I think that's pretty good

12:58 am

12:59 am

3 of the 8 seem to be variations on hi8, with different first vowels

Egads! hold my calls...

110 (?) S words

5:17 am

401!

hi, Scrabbler - plural every noun (seemingly)

5:19 am

I have started doing that.

5:23 am

How odd. A sheriff's deputy just came to my front door saying there was a 911 call from here. That didn't happen here.

Ive heard of that happening - its called getting "swatted"

its also very illegal by whoever called it in

5:27 am

How was my phone # used? And he said their office tried to call me back but there was no answer. My phone did not ring.

5:28 am

Did you ask what number they called? That is frightening.

5:28 am

What is the goal by the perpetrator?

5:29 am

It was my landline phone #. I rarely use that phone; it is backup.

hackers can do just about anything these days - Im no expert - its jst happened to some Politician

5:30 am

I have had spam calls using my phone number.

5:30 am

I didn't know if the cop thought I was actually in danger or if I faked a 911 call.

5:31 am

I hate what people do by messing with phone numbers.

I got a phone call on my cell phone from my own landline #

5:31 am

Wow

it can be dangerous, Scrabs, since the cops are expecting a bad scene

5:32 am

sounds like kids showing off how clever they are

5:32 am

I was shocked when the cop came into my view at the window here, with the motion sensor light, as I wondered who died.

5:33 am

He was actually my patient 30+ years ago but I didn't tell him that. He was so serious and concerned.

A lot of these "Swat" calls say that someone beens shot, etc...

5:34 am

What an odd experience. I don't need coffee after this experience.

funny spelling

maybe lose the landline, Scrabs?

sorry, I dont really know what Im talking about on this

5:38 am

There is often static on the line so I have considered that, but I want a backup if there is a cell phone outage.

5:38 am

had a phone call late one night 'This is DCI Quick can youask Mr Hall to come to the door?' no one here named Hall. it went on a while..Can you come to the door, stand in the light and you will be approached by my officers!!I though it sounded like an armed response so I went outside--nothing!! thought what a good joke. 10 minutes later another call 'what number do you live? I told them-lots of apologies 'we've been given the wrong number'!!! A few years later I saw DEC Quick on TV and he was the head of themurder squad for most of south london!!!

5:38 am

I'm in a rural area and can't have my nice internet connection without the landline. The company as a monopoly in the area.

5:39 am

Oh, my, Deeha. How scary.

5:40 am

Kamanjah, I have internet service fortunately although some people out here need a landline or link to their cell phone.

5:40 am

my daughter was furious. She said you could have had a heart attck! I'm made of sterner stuff than that I thought it was hilarious

5:40 am

WE can have a landline number changed quickly here - and have it listed as private (not listed anywhere at all)

not even the police dept?

5:41 am

lynxxx, my number is not "listed" in the phone book but I am sure it can be googled.

5:42 am

Don't phone numbers show up on cell phones you call from the landline?

5:42 am

Yes, they do.

if they can "hack" your landline and call 911, the cops are coming unlisted or not

5:43 am

I think privacy is non-existant these days.

5:43 am

Agreed, K.

need a geeky nerd here to explain the process - but they arent Babbling

6:11 am

Could have been a call from an unlisted mobile. Some shops you can still buty a pay as you go off the shelf wirth no contract or anything to fill in

6:12 am

Like a burner phone? But how did the call show my landline #?

6:12 am

oh thats weird. Cloned number, though seems a lot of effort for no monetary gain

6:12 am

all I can think of. very strange

6:13 am

Such a mystery.

if someone using my landline # can call my cell, it can call 911 - i agree Scrab - hope it never happens again

6:15 am

I passed halfway. Enjoy the day.

I recently saw part of a netflix production on the whole thing of "swatting". People have been killed (after a SWAT team was called). It is so so scary.

yes, I saw this Swatting thing on the news the other day

caller says he killed someone and was suicidal, then hangs up. Swat team shows up at the house

somehow their smart phone shows your landline as the caller ID to the cops, I guess

7:32 am

tsures should be acceptable if tsores is

7:35 am

hello

7:35 am

the H is giving me fits today

7:36 am

missing 11 Hs right now

7:36 am

13 for me

7:38 am

gotta run. first pass through and 108 to go! lovely grid so far

7:39 am

have a great day harry!

7:52 am

Harry knocks out 293 words in record time. Doesn't this game get boring for the Mensa smart folks?

oh geez

8:05 am

hi hokie!

hey mael!

8:06 am

how are you?

good, how are you.

8:07 am

better, finally clearing my bronchitis. Kids are in school again

meant ?

nice. are they happy to be back?

8:07 am

very

8:08 am

how were things in babble land while I was gone? :)

don't recall anything different. I wasn't here a lot though.

too busy unpacking my house

8:09 am

how's that coming along?

8:09 am

We adopted a new mascot, an inia. Pen named her Babblette. We need to keep up with The Spelling Bee and their Miss Beeatrice Buzzby.

pretty close now to being finished

do I have to look up what an inia is now?

8:10 am

I do like inia

8:10 am

Mael, they will be moving again, once they fix up this house. It's a vicious cycle.

8:10 am

it's a river dolphin I know only from babble :)

no plans to move any time ever again. so annoying.

8:11 am

excellent hokie, moving is the pits

8:11 am

Isn't that what you said two houses ago?

8:12 am

*Watches out for those who had their Wheaties peed in today

the crazy market led to the temp house we were in for like the last 11 months. before that we were in one 14 years.

8:14 am

that seems reasonable to me, I've moved twice since I finished college

8:14 am

and the market is bananas

8:15 am

I work with someone who bought due to the crazy market. They may as well have just built a house from the ground up. They are completely remodeling. $$$$$

hmm, this is technically my 6th place since college but that's over 27 years. my mom hasn't moved since 1973.

8:19 am

most people move more often than I did, I just happened to buy as soon as I was done with college

we started in an apt, built a small house, had to get a bigger one with kids, then had to move to better schools once the kids were in school and stayed there the rest of the time.

LOL, we didn't buy a bigger house with kids, we had the kids

8:21 am

heh

8:22 am

kids were the reason we moved too, we wanted to be out of the city

8:22 am

you do move a lot now though don't you hokie?

no

8:23 am

haven't you moved a few times in the last few years?

8:23 am

I must be mistaken then..

we sold our house of 14 years and had to move into one we had no intention of staying in while we found one we wanted to live in. so we moved to that one last fall and this one now.

8:24 am

???

twice in the last year

and that's it

8:27 am

how are you liking your forever home so far?

I like the size of it but need more storage

8:28 am

wordle was tricky today

8:28 am

it really was, shirlock

got my sewing room set up but haven't started any projects

8:28 am

Agree.

guess I better go do wordle

8:29 am

bee was very straightforward though

8:29 am

If I'd used my usual start word, it would've help, but NO...went rogue.

8:29 am

She who lives in a condo laughs hysterically at a single family home owner saying they need more storage

8:30 am

You can never have enough storage.

8:31 am

I'm european so I grew up with a very small condo by american standards. I much prefer having storage space.

8:33 am

Got Wordle in 4

8:33 am

Did you get anything with your start word?

8:34 am

I got two with my start word

8:34 am

I can't seem to do wordle without paying for it

8:35 am

Really? I just do a Google search for Wordle and it is play for free

8:35 am

That's a big help. Congrats! Took me 5, but it was a real slog to get there.

8:36 am

https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/

okay, got it in 4. nothing with my start word.

wordle is free

8:36 am

That link is for the free site.

they said when they bought it they would keep it free

8:37 am

The Spelling Bee is what you havre to pay to play

8:37 am

Not a problem for me since I am no fan of that game

ru doesn't like the bee either because he's too good at it

8:38 am

Oh, pardon the eff out of the rest of us

8:38 am

with wordle you just guess? there's a zillion things it could be?

8:40 am

spelling bee is too easy .. it's easy to max it out

8:40 am

The trick to Wordle is to work with letters you guess right. I would guess the odds of getting the word on your first try are pretty damn long.

yeah, you guess and then if you have a letter in the right spot it's green but a correct letter in the wrong spot is yellow. so you narrow down that way. and the letters you try are grayed on the keyboard so you know what you've tried.

8:40 am

i've only gotten the word in 2 a few times

8:41 am

So many brainiacs, such little time

yeah, I have 7 2's out of 173 games. not a lot.

8:42 am

good morning everyone :)

8:42 am

doren used to send me the bee and I'd get the panagram in a minute

hey nan

8:42 am

yeah, I have 10 2s out of 251 games

8:43 am

I enjoy all word games :)

8:43 am

7/195 on 2 for wordle

8:43 am

I got it in four today. Nine twos of 225

oh, new wonder woman is in the grid

8:44 am

*Makes a little more room for someone's large ego

8:45 am

lol

he's very smug 😜

8:45 am

not really.. i suck at most other things

8:45 am

I usually see the pangram first, it's the rest of it that takes longer

8:46 am

Don't mention the new Wonder Woman or Lynda Carter will come to your house and kick your ass

I either see it first thing or it takes me all day

8:47 am

I'm pretty sure Lynda Carter quite likes Gal Gadot

8:47 am

Really, do they have some site called Word Games For Geniuses for all of you "it's so easy" people?

8:47 am

nyt bee only lets you play to "superb" then cuts you off and trys to sell you a subscription. I play at the free bee site.

✅✅✅ for mael

8:48 am

You would have to live around here and hear the things I have heard about Lynda Carter (I know people who have worked on her house)

not quite, superb isn't a level and they only let you play to a certain % of points before cutting you off

8:48 am

linda carter lives near you?

8:48 am

I already had a subscription because I do the NYT crossword puzzle

8:49 am

https://spellingbeegame.org/

8:49 am

Ru, she lives in Potomac, where mkg sells houses.

8:49 am

oh

8:49 am

I'm plenty hopeless at many things

how did she end up there?

8:50 am

I' was trying to picture you running around with bullet proof bracelets

8:51 am

She is married to a DC attorney

ah

is the sh 8 a compound word?

nm, found it

8:53 am

thanks luv.. didn't have the 9 yet

8:53 am

sola

8:53 am

crap

8:54 am

thanks luv, I didn't have it either

glad to be helpful when pulling a Peri :-)

8:54 am

and got 3 more because you reminded me ruru, thx

shoesaga - having trouble finding the right footwear for a certain dress

8:55 am

it also let me grey out the bottom row, hooray

8:55 am

which means I only need another... 22 Ss lol

8:56 am

is the sh 8 a compound?

8:56 am

yes

8:56 am

I was looking at shoes on the Saks site yesterday, wondering who had $1265 to spend o shoes

yeah, not me

8:57 am

you'd be surprised molly -- that's a low price on saks shoes

8:57 am

and no, i would NEVER spend that much on shoes

8:57 am

and pb for me

8:58 am

I'm mixing drinks in the PB as I started the shoe thing. It's kind of hard to avoid grid words when the grid is this big

8:58 am

I can't imagine why anyone would want to pay over $K for shoes -- especially ones with 6" spikes for heels that are impossible to stand or walk in comfortably

8:59 am

those are limo shoes you don't "walk" in them

8:59 am

I guess the first half of the sh is shoe

I also can't figure out why my friend will pay $2k for a louis vuitton purse when I think they are so ugly.

8:59 am

no

9:00 am

Oh don't get me started on designer handbags.

9:00 am

I have a hard time with handbags period, never mind designer ones

9:01 am

i just buy coats with big pockets

9:02 am

There is no way I could have done without a purse when I had young children

9:02 am

ty - have the re and sh 8's - anyone know what the 3rd one is?

it was so freeing this summer when I went to MLS soccer games and just put stuff in my pockets and could walk through with my family instead of going through bag check line.

9:02 am

I use a fabric grocery tote if I need to carry stuff for them

9:02 am

but purses, nah

9:03 am

Nan, it's hi8

9:03 am

ty bea - as weird as the 7's?

9:04 am

What about makeup, brush, wallet, phone, etc. What do you do with all that?

soll

9:05 am

what makeup and brush?

there, a free word that isn't real

9:05 am

phone and wallet go in my pant pockets

9:05 am

Yes, its weird.

9:06 am

I've been badgered to carry a purse for work meetings but thankfully those are few and far between

9:07 am

I have a very pretty backpack that I use as a purse. Love it.

9:07 am

going to have some breakfast and go back to bed for a while - ddn't sleep all night.

9:08 am

I've settled on a small crossbody bag for summer when I want to wear skirts that don't have pockets (those bastards)

9:08 am

take a good nap, nan

9:09 am

whittled it down to only two Ss left...

hmm, I thought pi6a was a tiny gun

9:25 am

I have two pi6s, one is a gun

I'm talking about that pi6 with an a on the end

9:26 am

it's a gun in italian? I didn't think it was an english word

9:26 am

but I've been surprised before lol

so, it is italian, or you're asking me if it is? (which would be odd)

I've def heard it used for a tiny one

9:27 am

it was more of a statement, sorry. pi6a means pi6 in italian

alright, 103 left, HOET. need to get moving. good luck, all!

9:33 am

have a great day!

9:35 am

FW for me! see you all tomorrow :)

10:21 am

hi all. does the sh8 start with footwear?

10:26 am

shoedust - what happens when you don't wear them for a while

10:29 am

peri, no it doesn't. compound word beginning with a method of travel.

10:30 am

thanks, saan

10:30 am

yw, glad you got it

10:31 am

10:32 am

11:09 am

hi peri, hursh...

11:10 am

lol, was trying a made up B word but it turned into an A word I've never seen and finished the middle A!

11:12 am

it's like the invention of penicillin

11:12 am

maybe not quite as useful, but, still

11:12 am

you're saying a happy accident?

11:13 am

ya

11:13 am

want to clue it for us?

11:14 am

al5/12

90%!

11:36 am

YW!

11:42 am

FW! Enjoy, everyone!

11:42 am

congrats...

12:06 pm

You all have people looking for something that begins with A that was an accidental invention.

12:09 pm

Speaking of which, did you know that Toll House Cookies were invented accidentally. A toll house baker was out of baking chocolate and chopped up some semi-sweet chocolate to make chocolate cookies (thinking the chocolate would melt and mix into the batter). Voila. One of the world's best loved cookies was born.

12:09 pm

interesting...

12:12 pm

I had to over-explain that story to someone who doesn't' bake, hence doesn't know the difference between baking chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate 😊

12:13 pm

well i don't bake but i know the difference...

12:15 pm

I think a lot of things we eat were a result of something accidental. The most famous of which is probably popcorn.

12:17 pm

i think so, too...

12:23 pm

rehi - I'm baffled by this last lower L

12:23 pm

hi...

12:23 pm

also, on a grid this size I'm pretty sure there are words I entered that aren't there.

12:23 pm

i have two from that L...

12:25 pm

have tried so many things

12:25 pm

on the laptop, i often have words that i thought i entered but the cursor must have moved and they are not there...

12:27 pm

I think it's something wrong with this interface - it's always the big grids and always a 4 or 5

12:27 pm

no idea....with me, I know it's a "moving cursor" problem...

12:27 pm

hi Hokie!

12:30 pm

hello dolly!

12:31 pm

with me it's always words that I saw green after I entered but when I go to lickety list it's not there so then I come back to this list and sure enough, not there.

12:31 pm

hello to you all!

12:31 pm

hi dolly...

12:32 pm

dolly, do you have the lower L finished?

12:32 pm

hi Pen :)

12:32 pm

yeppers

12:32 pm

what's the hard word stat?

12:32 pm

I'm working on my L's now

12:32 pm

it's not LOLS 😁

12:32 pm

there is an LO7

12:33 pm

oh, I thought the yeppers was answering my L question

12:33 pm

wonder how many people tried that lols....

12:33 pm

ok, will look

12:33 pm

it's a Lo 7?28 builds off the lo 5 before it

12:34 pm

got it based on the points, thx. I had tried something very similar.

12:34 pm

yw :)

12:35 pm

ooh, just saw my last A. now finished with A, G, L, & T

12:35 pm

I've got 40 left here

12:35 pm

40 here as well\

12:36 pm

3-8-17-11-1. if only moo were here to see how many 6s I have left.

12:36 pm

^5

12:36 pm

140 here LOL

12:37 pm

85 here..

12:37 pm

well you probably haven't wasted as much as your day, une & pen

12:38 pm

Got it off the points? What is so significant about a 7/28? That could be lots of combinations.

12:40 pm

I don't know I guess I looked at my lo5s too. only one lo5/10. no idea where it is on the list.

12:42 pm

Well, you may be excused. I know you are off your game because your boyfriend isn't around.

12:42 pm

stats (for molly) D4 S4 B5 R E2 S5 U2 D3 O H7 P3 S3

12:43 pm

also missing three off that bottom S...

12:43 pm

the B is baffling since there's just one way to go

12:43 pm

oh, found 1 B

12:44 pm

missing 5 Bs here...

12:44 pm

and it was a 6, which I need tons of

12:49 pm

A SIX??!! 💥💥💥

12:50 pm

IKR

12:50 pm

wonder what my last O is

12:50 pm

Hey, I can fake enthusiasm as much as the next person

12:50 pm

still missing four Os here...

12:51 pm

Because really, if I ever get that enthusiastic about this game, someone shoot me

12:51 pm

they are mostly babblets, pen

12:51 pm

Smugly has all the O's

12:52 pm

the usual suspects

12:52 pm

ty...now missing one O...

12:53 pm

ok, what are pen & I missing then, ru jr.?

12:54 pm

oe7?

12:54 pm

now just need 1 S on the bottom

12:54 pm

aha, dolly with useful info, thx

12:54 pm

Sorry Pen, I wasn't going to clue it

12:54 pm

:)

12:54 pm

ty, dolly....that was easy... ;o)

12:54 pm

not sure it will help me though. is it like an E word that I don't have?

12:55 pm

:)

12:55 pm

yes..

12:55 pm

I thought Pen liked finding them on her own. So much for being courteous

12:55 pm

how was that easy?

12:55 pm

well i had the E word...

12:56 pm

I think pen is like me, I like finding them on my own but when it's apparent I'm not finding it on my own, I'll take a hint.

12:56 pm

i appreciate that, Molly....and I appreciate dolly just giving stats...

12:56 pm

Yeah but you all usually ask for a clue if you want one

12:56 pm

very true...

12:57 pm

and I asked for a guess, so it wasn't like she blurted a word, just gave the 2nd letter

12:57 pm

well i am down to 66....feel more encouraged.. ;o)

12:57 pm

so, to recap - I asked for a guess, she guessed correctly, I still don't have

12:58 pm

My brain keeps trying to convince me that you can spell strudel with an A. Shut up brain.

12:58 pm

like you can spell status with a d....stadus....

12:59 pm

maybe your brain is thinking of strusel or struesel. someone tell me how to spell that.

12:59 pm

Stadus is your ranking when you have a cold

12:59 pm

ha!

1:00 pm

it's streusel....

so, what is the 2nd letter of my E6?

1:00 pm

S...

1:00 pm

Do you want us to spell the whole oe7?

no need, I see it now

thanks for your help😜

1:01 pm

Of course you do, with three out of 7

well I had to find the 6. now one E left. had hoped that was a set.

1:01 pm

Strudel is a word too. Like apple strudel

1:02 pm

just add the es 6 to it

1:02 pm

Don't worry. Someone will blurt it

1:02 pm

See

1:02 pm

LOL just for you Molly

1:02 pm

she already found it...

yes, I have it, but still need 1 6

darnit, I mean one E

still need 14 6's

was sealab a show? seems like a good word

1:03 pm

I know which E you need and I will never tell

1:03 pm

found my last E...

that's okay, pen will tell me

1:04 pm

babblet...

or dolly

1:04 pm

lol

1:04 pm

anyone feed Babblette today?...

I have ed4/6 if that's the guess, pen

1:05 pm

probably fish...

1:05 pm

Ahahahaha she is missing an easy one

1:05 pm

the other Es are easy....

1:05 pm

tada!! any clues needed?

oh, it was what we do at meals

1:05 pm

congrats, dolly...

1:06 pm

none for me, thanks...

probably a word I already put in

1:06 pm

tyvm big grid!

well done dolly. 34 left here.

1:06 pm

what are you working on Hokie?

1:06 pm

You got the es6 and you couldn't get that?

1:07 pm

Tell her which ones Carla, she wants to enable you some more.

1:07 pm

everyone goes babble blind sometimes...

I could work on the U I guess

ha! too slow, molly

redtag sales not in enable

1:09 pm

Mael may have fed Bablette. She said she likes inia. However she doesn't carry a purse so I'm not sure how she would have enough food on her.

ha! my last R was an easy 4

1:10 pm

mine was, too...

I'm missing anagrams today

did you finish the U, pen?

1:10 pm

deep pockets...

is that a U clue?

oh, mael feeding the inia

1:11 pm

pockets?...no, that is how mael had food to feed Babblette...

1:13 pm

If Ru The Spelling Bee genius was here he could help you with the anagrams.

1:14 pm

And the pangrams, and the bananagrams.

1:17 pm

Clue for de7 please?

1:18 pm

i have one that ends in the plural letter....

1:18 pm

Molly I heard on the new that last month was the hottest August on record.

2:41 pm

down to 110 left and slowing down

2:47 pm

Hurshy. Have you noticed your cat is in the grid? And more importantly, why do I remember Hurshy's cat's name, yet can't remember what I ate for dinner yesterday. Shakes head.

2:47 pm

hi Soodle

2:47 pm

thank you soodle, i hadn't really noticed!

2:48 pm

Hi Peri & Hursh :-)

I knew that

2:51 pm

how many cats do you have? and what are their names?

2:51 pm

Opie and Fritz are the regular cats

2:52 pm

spoken like a true cat-person, Hursh. I also remember the name of your late cat, Peri. Zoe-Anne, right? How can I retain such information in my little brain?

2:52 pm

yes Indeed, Soodle. I think of her often

2:52 pm

when i first started babbling i had Mitten, Marty, and Cinder, but they are gone now :(

2:53 pm

She crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2013

2:53 pm

I remember those cats, hurshy

2:53 pm

it is a hard time when a pet passes on

2:53 pm

it is indeed

2:55 pm

I have 2 daughters, both of whose names begin with the letter S. I frequently call one by the other's name, yet I can remember Peri's cat's name. I think my brain must be wired to remember feline names and not my own offsprings.

2:55 pm

:-)

2:55 pm

it's just that your daughters' names would be stored "near" each other on very well-worn paths

2:56 pm

and maybe there's not much grass growing between those two paths so it's real easy to step from one to the other

2:56 pm

i just realized when you add them all up there are 110 S words

2:57 pm

that's over 1/4 of the grid

2:57 pm

If there's anything 'growing' there, Hurshy, you may be sure it's weeds

2:57 pm

thanks for that info. it is overwhelming

2:58 pm

lots of plurals in the grid

2:59 pm

Meanwhile, Son of Soodle's wedding is rapidly approaching. September 17th. MOG dress purchased. Hat purchased. 4 pairs of sh5/12's purchased, not one pair of which I can walk easily in.

3:00 pm

A dear friend's daughter is getting married on Sept 17th too

3:00 pm

Too high, too low, too tight, too loose.

3:00 pm

You going to the wedding, Peri?

3:01 pm

:(

3:01 pm

I hate buying dress shoes

3:01 pm

no I was not invited which is fine with me

3:02 pm

bbl

3:02 pm

woohoo, finished!

3:02 pm

listed for the last 36

3:02 pm

3:17 pm

Well done, Hurshy. Thats an accomplishment with a grid like this.

3:40 pm

Congrats!

4:27 pm

just 11 S words to find

I still have 6

4:29 pm

I've got more than 200 words and I'm exhausted. I already did today's SB (I am Queen Bee!) so maybe that's enough word games for today.

5:39 pm

need an ho7 that I know 5 letters of. why can't I find that?

5:41 pm

5:41 pm

I still haven't found the hi 8

geez, weird pt

now 5 H left, all between those like you are talking about

5:42 pm

can you give me a clue for the hi 8 please?

haven't got it yet, just know the first 5 letters.

ok, add a vowel to the 5 then pt it for the 8

5:45 pm
