Well, progress is being made.
Yay!! Grid loaded!!
And there are the words. Thanks Dr. God
First time I have ever seen only 12 players on line.
There were 9 earlier
hello!!
And I bet there were 0 before that. Hi Peri.
hey there!
I've been refreshing all morning
Me too, mael!!
Lickety is still not right, I sent him an email
so glad this got fixed, thank dr. god!
*Imagines Une and Mael, sweating, shaking and madly hitting REFRESH over and over and over again
Thank you Dr. God
it was pretty much like that molly
There are support groups for such things
this IS the support group for such thing
good morning all :) -- nice to see that we finally have a grid
It is so nice to play when the grid is new and not have people blurting out stats
I found the 9!
I think maybe the problem with lickety is that his program was set up for Explorer and all service on that search engine has stopped. Maybe the program is not compatible with the new version of Edge
Sorry about that, Babblers. We ran out of puzzles. :) We're set for the next few years now though.
Thank you!!
me too kitty :) describes my way of life
No Nan, it has been working fine in Chrome up until today. It needs to interface with the puzzle to populate.
Thank you!
Thanks Dr God, good to know we are set for a few years!
*Raises a cup of coffee to Dr. God
Tx dr. god!!!
ty Dr. G
cheers!
hey carla
4 players when I looked earlier
Thank you Dr God .
12, 9, 4, anyone else?
alas, I have to get back to work here
TTFN
Someone may need to go administer smelling salts to Hurshy. I'm sure she passed out from "lack of Babble grid stress"
when did the grid finally come on line?
in 8x2
so has anyone reached out to Lickety and heard back
Oh rats, here we go
CL8. yes, I'm still here.
I sent Lickety an email. He usually gets back to me in a bit
but couldn't resist calling a big 😜
also cl 9
also CL9
So it is flip rules now?
high five, nan
it did just flip, yeah :)
:)
I say not regular rules but calling words
fe 8
Oh well
Doesn't look like Licketty is up yet.
Yep, Lickety has been contacted
i have nbt but need the 9 for nbs
pt, peri
Don't worry Peri, I'm sure someone will blurt it right soon
CL9
strange that we can have fe 4/9 but not the one(s) who extensions
agreed nan
I found the 9, already had the base word
cu 7x2
i nner
The Devils in the grid - and thank Dr God Im playing!
fe 8x2
fe 8 x3
oops that was a 7 - sorry
di 7x2
de 7x3
Correction: S/B di 7x3 - not de 7x3 - Sorry for any confusion. :(
Ah, we're back!
hi matty - off for breakfast - maybe the wall will disappear :)
I am loving the fact that the first word I found was apt (cl4/6). But I don't need one yet :)
wish we could save all the stat calling for just the flip. it's not really needed during the day
I think this is the flip for most of us
I agree with Ru. It is not time for flip rules.
it's flip time though, just this once.
What is the point of the stat calling, other than to show off?
what's the difference? too much clueing before folks have time to look on their own?
it's just that if it's okay at flip time, it ought to be okay today
that's it.. I like to find words on my own
whatever... it's just annoying
but it's really no skin off my nose, I don't look at the posted stats unless I want to look for a clue
It didn't used to be okay at the flip. Not in the first hour.
it's easy to ignore the chat until youve had your first run through. Already have the words being called now.
not a problem. I"ll come back later when it calms down
Later folks have a good game
bye ru
I also don't think any of us have the right to be the arbiters of how the chat *should* be use. I get it, there are things that annoy all of us - and some things that some people love, other people hate. But that doesn't mean any single one of us gets to decide what can and cannot be done (beyond avoiding slurs, trolling, racism etc etc - I mean things like 'blurting', calling stats etc - as Nan said, you don't have to look at the chat!) Peace!
Amen.
phantom: turtle
yay, matty!
well said, matty
I'll cosign that
you know what annoys me? that fourth row E
agreed
ahhh finally a puzzle!!
phantom: vein
el5/12 mael
Absolutely second what Matty said.
thanks, got them!
yw
Ns Nailed!
was there a clue for that 4th row E?
I'll be back later, have to run to the grocery store before the kids get out :)
have a great day everyone, thanks again to Dr. God for fixing everything!
Funny - Shirlock asking for a clue
it's for NBT ...
i words inveigled!
EL 5-6-6 combo
just kidding
Is there something wrong with Lickety's clues today?
Yay we're back!
Because Babble was down earlier (they'd run out of puzzles) Lickety had nothing to pick up
it wouldn't be surprising if there was a prob with Lickety since there was no grid for hours! lol
Molly has emailed Lickety
I'm sure it'll be sorted soon, when he gets a chance
I might be wrong, but I think Lickety is in Australia - if so, it's the middle of the night
Lickety's list needs a grid to populate off of. He has been notified of the problem with the list.
Thanks, I'll be patient.
1.30 am actually
Ah, I see the Morning Star!
I guess also it depends on where in Australia you are :)
I think it is afternoon in Australia when the flip happens so Lickety should still have been around when things went haywire.
I need stats for the 3rd Y, I have the tents
christmastime
think xmas
Christmastide
Ah, doh, so simple, ty
vide
oops
hints for the left-hand U words?
ty :D
ur5/14
And UR 6/36 and UR 7/52
TY peri + soodle!
oops i meant 2nd row, 4th column :D
wow i can't believe i managed to find those
I haven't yet. If you'd like to give a wee cl4, I wouldn't complain ;)
helps with the large point value
did you get my t4 message? yes, i got ** ****
That's a mad word
Thank you!
finally nbt, nbs
4th row N, E & T still not finding anything
I have one word from the E in the second row, fourth column. May I have stats for another, please (I think the one I have is the es5/10)
en6/24
tu6.24 from that T
Oooh, maybe not. Hang on....it's the ef4
That I have
ty
EN6-6-7-6 combo might make you jealous
er 4.4 I believe
sorry...that is en7/40
Oooh - yeah, terribly jealous. Thank you - got them!
very much so!
thx for those en clues, NBT!
phantom ferule
phantom: lettuce
Lettuce Entertain You is a restaurant group with outlets near me.
nice
not seeing that ur 6-7, but then don't know much medical terminology
also letter and lecture
have the ur 5, but 6? 7?
not medical--literary
ends in a message you might send fromyour phone, nan.
ty bea - would never have come up with that!
ty, kate
I have a cat laying across
ty, bea
my wrists for the first time in many years.
nice!
90%!
last time was before smart phones.
it’s nice he’s this relaxed. LOL the watch annoyed him, he shifted.
found the milk curdler :) Should have been obvious
ty, dcseain. that led me to the cu 8
did anyone make a list yet ?
i'm guessing no
is that ed 4/7 really a word in this puzzle?
anyone make a list yet?
no, bichon, perhaps you are looking at yesterday's list?
when I refresh the clues, they're still there
There are no clues for today.
no they are on Wednesday/9/7/2022 list
well the trouble is, there was no grid for hours
so lickety couldn't pull this grid, it wasn't there
There are in my clues column
so maybe it says today's date but it is using yesterday's gird or something
Look at the grid that is with them. It's not the grid we have now.
phantoms: destruct, detect
Thank god it isn't today's grid: only Ts, Gs, Ls, Es, As and Os.
name that proper noun! actors Ralph and Joseph
Fiennes
ding ding ding!!!
just emailed Lickety requesting a new clue page.
yeah that's been done but he might not be awake :)
You and everyone else. It the middle of the night in Australia.
at 3.00 am I hope he is tucked up tightly in bed
speaking of which, what are you doing up lynxxx?
I forgot about the time...oh well,he'll have a lot of emails to delete when he gets to them
I know, I know
250!!!
name that proper noun! a Lannister queen
go Hursh!!
Lannister?
it's from Game of Thrones
which i haven't actually seen
or read
ditto
Cersei
lucette
but people discuss it a lot and i just have seen the name...
ding ding ding!!!
bea got it
Good night all
sleep well lynxxx
Wait, if you haven't seen it, how do you know the story?
Sorry, missed the reason
i don't know the story, just recognized the name
i have a good memory for random crap like that
sweet sleep Lynxxx
Same here, hurshy.
I see the devil is in the grid.
'I'm sure that comes in handy...for...something
it can help you fake your way through conversations, and it helps with jeopardy/trivia kind of things sometimes
lu7/48 the most blurted word of the day
meanwhile i am dismayed to realize, via another word game, that "muppet" isn't a real word
You thought it was?
well idk, i never thought about it before, but, i mean, it just feels like a real word given how popular the muppets are
it makes sense, it just dismays me at the same time
15 to go!
I think it was a mix up of puppet and moppet
yeah probably
we might be able to collaborate to make a list if a bunch of us have finished different letters...
hmm all i have is i, y, u, n
still need one or two more of most letters
Can we wait a while for that? Good chance Lickety will fix the list and then there doesn't have to be tons of stats in the chat
I greyed the E's
isn't it bedtime for lickety?
i need one more top right E
has anyone contacted lickety to re run his clue program?
yes TO, but it's night there
Technically yes Carla, but someone else from Australia was just here until 3 am their time.
really?
i think lynxxx is an insomniac
maybe lickety likes his sleep
lyn is here a lot during our day
By 9 PM our time it will be 7 AM Lickety time and that is when he emailed me yesterday about fixing the list
yeah i'm sure we can make our own list sooner than that
Well, you know, some people just don't sleep at all.
yes that is usually how it happens.
if we are persistent
are you suggesting hurshy wait until 9pm?
No, do what you want. It was made clear earlier the way things are around here.
turf
what luck! that was my last T!
unfortunately not mine
brushy.... maybe you could make us a t list
well, i can summarize, at any rate
I am having my computer programmer son make up a list. As soon as I figure out how to transfer it from e-mail I will post it. Stay tuned. May be a while since I am practically technically illiterate. Sorry.
please!
20 TE, 7 TR, 8 TU
many thanks broll!
hello broll. thank you for thinking of us.
wonderful Broll!
TYVM BROLL
ty Hurshey...all I have left are te's...very helpful
How To Make A Word List Copy word list into an Excel spreadsheet (the word, the number of letters and the points go into 5 columns (because of ? for dictionary).
Then insert a column after the word. Then write a formula in the first line after the word, example - " =left($B1,2)"
Halfway.....
(the $ makes the formula absolute) Then copy the formula all the way down
(put cursor in bottom right of the top cell with the formula and drag down to end of word list). Voila you have 3 columns with first 2 letters, length, points
10 to go!!!!
well done, hurshy - just back from wordle and have 86 to go
Wordle was fun today, Nan. I got it in 3.
yes - same here
me three :)
any luck with a list somewhere?
Working on it. The list my son sent me does not have clue length and points. I am entering the words now and will make a list for my profile when I am finished.
that's a lot of effort, thank you!
yw
brill......how do we get into your profile? I tried already with no success. Is it because you have no picture?
click on the person - circle with pink below
has anyone posted a list?
ah, just read recent chat
there is no circle with pink with your silhouette on my chatterbox postings
that is odd. It's between the persons name and their flag.
thanks saanichcat never knew one could do that before
Like a bunch of junkies.
actually until you asked, neither did I!'
;)
Bojazz, Broll is working on it. not in his profile yet.
thx...
phew! I think it's there. Will someone please check and tell me? thx
it's there......tyvm!
I can't see your profile.
looks good Broll! thank you and your son!
lickety not here for me yet, broll
To see Broll's profile, click on the pink purse looking thing in between BROLL and her flag
lickety's not here for anyone because of problem with site at flip. list in my profile. good luck to all puzzlers!
got it. thanks.
ty broll
It is so much nicer for someone who is finished to post a list than to have posts and posts of stats in the chat
yw
Mol - the way we GET finished is by helping each other by posting in chat when lickety is not up!
indeed
Oh, I didn't see any posts in the chat to help you Broll. My mistake.
thank you so much broll!
but Broll told us she was having her comp programmer son make the list. that is how she avoided that. if he didn't happen to be able to do that, then she wouldn't have a list yet.
Broll's son made the list for us from her finished word list. That is the only way to make a list. Unless you go to the cheat site.
broll's son presumably made it the same way lickety makes it...
So you are saying Broll did not finish the grid.
You are so right Hurshy! So, so right! I don't think I have ever finished without help in all my years of playing this game.
i do not know whether broll finished or not
i just know that Lickety wrote a program that does it, so a human finishing it is not the only way to make a list, and not how we usually get the list
And I think Lickety's site makes the list from the cheat site too. All you have to do is plug the letters of the day into a 5 x 5 grid.
ok well the point is SOMEBODY programmed it
https://www.dcode.fr/big-boggle-solver\n-5x5
wow, totally didn't know that dcode had that
Broll did not finish the list - she copied the words her son sent her and then generated the list (this is the first time I have ever done this). wait. . . there's a cheat site? Why am I just finding out about this?
Take the \n out. I thought that was short enough to avoid tiny url
Here is the tiny url https://tinyurl.com/yrxpx7re
And another https://tinyurl.com/3mt6p3mr
ugh, 18 v's?
And they aren't pretty.
you can do this Hokie! and hello!
i got all but 2 without the list
hello dolly!
:)
still just in and out. not sure when I'll get to a proper first pass.
Broll - Thanks for your list. I needed it to find my final two.
Thanks Broll. Your list was very helpful. 🤗
y'all are welcome! I'm outta here. See you tomorrow.
Oooooh...thank you so much!
Anyone have stats for the 9, please?

yes. missing 8 Vs
5 left for me

Ur + most used method of cell phone communication
that's a way better clue Luv!

There is also an lu 8…..
ok I have lu7
I should be quiet now.. ;o)
I Had the lu7 but not the plural.

Same here..
I guess like adonis
the lu7b I have is a plural
Yes, peri…
another name for the devil, peri
does the lu8 have anything to do with the lu7?
Yes, it’s a pl…
plural
found the 4 in8 words thanis all

I just got excited…
What are the stats, pen?
Cu 8/50…a pl…
oh, I have that one
My last one too.
I'm trying to grey the C's.

I had the short version but not the long one…
HOET! 73 left though.
i'm trying to ungrey my temples
still 16 c's
Still missing 8 Cs out of my 33 words left…
LOL! @ ru
I'm not getting any more grey, but I'm loosing my hair at a dramatic rate.

Yes, i like that…
I have 3 or 4 grays right in the front that are about 3" long and just stick in all directions

broll had one I think
broll has one
Broll…

Can find her in the rankings…
My brains are fried….taking a break….bye all….

Oops so sorry thankfully typos.
Did anyone let Dr God know the game was messed up at 1 am? Or was it my computer?
Probably about 50 people
cu---
Lickety actually had a new grid (with a mystery letter in the middle) that I played for a bit. It's got the new grid now.
I assume the mystery letter in the middle is why it wasn't loading here.
Lickety's grid turned into something else later. A grid with two E words.
No clue what Peri's post means
I must be word blind. Help with tr 5/14 pls
The first tr5/14, that is.
to stop battle tr5
Oh - how did I miss that. Thanks, Ru
I am still here
typed in wrong box
well i am done....goodnight all....
