hello everyone :)
evening, nan
Clues are up
ty, lickety
ty lickety!
he7/8
thanks, lickety
ep7
pe7
the Os were easy today
pe8
I should have called that - I was thinking that the plural was the 7
ba7
good night. must sleep. busy day tomorrow.
er, today.
phantom "seepage"
ap 7 x2
I'm not doing too well - the only long ones I've found were et8/9 and pe8/9.
Oh, and now I've got one ap7
I don't think you generally have just one ba7
Even with just one player.
Sort of like having one trouser
be7/9
Gillie, I think it's an adjective form
oooh. thanks, jessmom
yw :)
Oh, apparently it's a nautical term (verb) too.
don't have either of those 8-9 combos
They have the same endings.
there's only one 9, nan
Sorry - I was thinking of the et7/8 and pe7/8. Maybe I should call it a night.
no - the ba 7 should be a plural - there is no singular
It's also a verb
(turns out)
have an et 6-8. but no 7-8
Websters and Brittanica disagree with the 'only plural' thing. It is odd, though.
The 7-8 requires one extra letter
well I'm not sure about the dictionaries, but the scots play the ba 8
or I should say a scotsman/woman plays the ba 8
But you can listen to that type of music - ie ba 7 music, making it an adjective
I guess - hadn't thought of that
pi7
has the 9 been called?
jess called be7 & 9
ty -- not doing well with the longer words - only 4 x7 and one 8
early morning - good night :)
ap7/32.......clue please
ap =+
ap =+
pe 7/8 x 2
AP + conc + loch monster
what does conc mean dizgrannie
sorry consonant
tyvm dizgrannie
yw
got the 9!
(but no 8s yet :)
A hint please, Harry?
it's a plural of the bottom layer of a river or lake. I remembered it from a stream sanitation course :)
sounds like a japanese lunch box
I have to run to work! sorry!
lain
Free clue, YW.
Mornin, Scrabbler
3 of my nemesis P
have we ever figured out why gila doesn't count? gila monster?
phantom: people
Gila...proper noun...river in Arizona
well sure but Adonis is a greek god but ALSO a common noun, so, since there is also the gila monster...
You can try to understand the logic of Enable, but it will make you crazy...er
yeah
name that proper noun! website where you can check the accuracy of stuff you hear
snopes
ding ding ding!!!
hardish grid
hottentot doesn't count over at the bee :( sadsies
good morning everyone
and to you. Just slipping into A
afternoon here
can I have a clue for the lone N, it is probably easy but I can't see it
It's a 4/5.
I've been trying that
Ends in A
ok, I am officially blind
there's a lone N on the bottom that's NE5/12
are you asking for that or the top one?
Thank you, that is the one I asked for...lol, got the top n
Ha! I was talking about the top one. Thx carla
I forgot about that :)
np
The P's are my nemesis in this grid. It's like I know no P words anymore.
I still need to find 12 Ps
yeah, I can only find 3 P on the top one
Glad I'm not alone
make that 30 ps :)
i've only got 2 B
already slowed on the big left one at 9, need 20. what the heck. haven't even looked at the big right P.
I found 4 B and moved on.
made up a 5/6 set, hursh
The right one was even harder for me. GAH!
ok thanks hokie
this appears to be a really hard grid all around
I still can't find that N
yes
ends in a spinning toy, sukee
or not bottom
The big one is in the B
Lol, I just typed it in as you said it
ty
nbt :)
Hello all…
pen!
Carla!
phantom sopapilla, and how is that on enable
You’re speaking in tongues.. ;o)
try it again tamale hokie
Hearing about Queen Elizabeth, not too positive today.
The family has gathered.
has she been sick or just because she's super old she's not doing well?
Well, the doctors said they are concerned. She has been going down for a while, and...she is 96.
I didn't realize the queen was 96
I rememer watching her coronation. Longest living British monarch, right?
I thought she was older
wasn't Philip like 99 when he died last year or so?
yes, longest living
She has mobility issues.
yes, I think Elizabeth I was the longest before her
Second longest. Her mother Victoria was the longest
Victoria was.
Sorry, great great grandmother
she is the longest reigning though, in the UK
Like they were saying on TV, she has been queen as long as they have been alive, me too. She became queen about 5 years before I was born.
in modern times, really, I think only Louis the 14th reigned longer
we've had older queens here in SF than that
lol
hah and they're kicking too, I bet
It is strange that monarchy still exists. It seems so outdated.
agreed
that the commonfolk believe that god made this one family to rule over their country is so weird
it is outdated
It is going to slowly fade away...
The Brits love their Queen. After watching "The Crown", I can't understand that
The world is not ready for King Charles.
He won't be the one.
Well, we were brought up on it (I was born in Scotland and lived there until I was 12). It was a big deal when the Queen visited
I don't think he'll be a very popular monarch, let's put it that way
If people give him a chance, but they are so prejudiced against him.
But, regardless, he will be king
Ha! Camilla will be Queen Consort. That title has such a negative undertone.
hello...may I have stats for the left bottom E pls
well, I'm getting nowhere on this grid. I'm declaring it the worst ever. I do have NBT, but still 3 tiles that I have nowhere near half. 74 left.
ep4, phae
ep4/5
**Faints** No mention of HOET
ty carla and mael
well if you read the post, I don't have HOET
Time for a break, bbl
the Ps are the problem
yeah, I gotta get busy. TTFN
Problem Ps if you will
Carla, you must be desperate if you are mentioning NBT. You have always said you thought that was a dumb stat
finally found the 9
the other words off that e phaeton is ep6/24 and 7/36
phantom: epitaph
Thanks, ru.
what a weird word, thanks ru
ty ruru
finally got all the Es too, this grid is a pain
phantom: epogee
change the last cons and you are on point.
Ooo, so close to a PB violation
change that first vowel and you have words :)
thanks!
Yeah, I don't think it is a word when you start with E
I don't think so either, Molly
maybe the ba7 is appropriate for the day regarding the queen?
thanks, ru - now i hear a phantom bagpipe
PB for welki!
:)
you can listen to it in the PB Welki
oh shit.
(That's a classic )
hilariously not a phantom one :)
LOL!
sorry ... wanders into the pb to 'scotland the brave'
Can someone now post their word list in the chat?
ohh, I just found some birds
and i just found some fish - we're on our way to the zoo!
(she said, from her seat in the pb)
I just found my last P.
(not my last p, but just saw one that sounds like a good name for a group from the 50s)
and the pocket fisherman, which is a proper noun
tough little grid.. but made it
wtg ry!
*ru
I found my last P too, effing finally
good work ru
FW here too, have a great day everyone
wtg mael
hints for the left-hand E? i have the 2 swordy ones...
et6/21
et8/45; et5/12; et7/32
those all come from another E. looks like it was an EP6-7 combo i was missing. got em!
*Hoping Origami is okay with Mamoa's shaved head
Oh, no! I hadn't seen that.
I'm not sure how shaving his head protests the use of plastic bottles, but points to him for trying to do something to clean up the environment
He's still pretty hot.
Since he's the only man in my opinion who can sport a man bun, I hope he grows it back.
Not my cup of tea, but apparently, he fills Origami's whole cup so that is okay
Oh, he does!
may I have a clue for the first ep7/36?
Ends in a word that means drink alcohol to excess
ty
good morning everyone :)
binge isn't there -- do you mean like a wine ***, Molly?
got the 9 have had quite a few of these but never thought it was a word
I don't think that means what you think it means
don't have either ep 7 -- don't understand the drunk clue unless it is as I asked 5 minutes ago and don't remember what the 9 is
No, I meant a 4 letter word for to drink alcohol to excess
kinda figured Molly
guess I don't know it then
Yes you do
It is in grids all the time
ep 7 36 is ep a vowel and a color first one the other is also a 7 36
unless it has another meaning, then no -- have looked for a 4 letter word meaning drinks to excess beginning with every letter that is next to a p
The color is spelled differently
Nan, I am looking at the definition and it says "to drink alcoholic liquor habitually and to excess."
ok I dont drink sorry did not know that
so sounds like a color would be more accurate got it
then I obviously don't know the word, Molly. Don't see a colour in the grid either
ep + vowel + not bottom + vowel
I thought that might be what cheryl meant by a colour, but that isn't working either
oh hang on - see a new direction
ty cheryl and molly
you are welcome but molly mostly got it for you
does the drunken word come from the same e?
So you have never seen that 4 letter word that means to drink to excess?
Nan, the clue was ep + vowel + word that means drink to excess. There is no E drunken word.
don't think so -- not seeing much of anything when it comes to the longer words in this grid
binge is the only word I can think of
Tope Nan.
ep + i + tope
yes I got that, molly, no need to be nasty -- the colour is spelled taupe
yeah I looked it up, it was what I thought of though sorry for the bad clue
now I'm looking for the other ep 7/36 which is the drunken one isn't it?
I give up
ok - now I see that you were both clueing the same word -- I thought there were two ep 7/36's. And I did not know the definition of tope -- never bothered to look it up.
that one is mostly vowels and is also a 7 36
guess I just assumed that tope was the american sp. for taupe
its a 6/7 combo if that helps
ok - need to leave for a while - bbl
have a good day Nan
the painter will be here shortly, so it will be busy
eeeeeeeeeek
Hi Hurshy
Did you just see a mouse, hurshy?
i just had such a great tutoring session!!!
i'm so jazzed
WTG
this kid hadn't had a great attitude the first few times, said he's just bad at math, always has been, etc
glad it went well
come to find out, he's just missed a ton of school over the years due to illness of himself and his parents, including then his dad dying
so i said ok, so it's not that you can't do math, you just didn't have the chance to learn it
today i taught him how to multiply
and now he can do it
Can someone give me the stats for the left column n please?
and i pointed out how many different strategies i saw him using and how that shows how good his brain actually is, to figure out ways he can do things
ne5/12
and after he had the hang of two digits times one digit, we went to two digits times two digits
and he was like, i'm not getting this the way i got the other ones
Thanks.
and i said, but you will, you just need more practice. so we did a whole bunch more, and then i said, "ok so you remember before when you said you weren't getting this the way you got the other ones?" and he was like "now i am getting it" and i said so that's the whole point, of course it's hard when you're just learning it, but you CAN learn it, and then you can do it!
Are you teaching and tutoring or just tutoring?
just tutoring
fantastic
it was very exciting
Any clues and stats for 8s and the 9 are welcome.
Also need stat for top right corner N. Ty.

Just got a ba 8. Scottish musical instrument. But no be 9
Oops that was a 7 not an 8. Still need clues for 8s please. And for the be 9 please.
it sounds like a compound word like be4 and Ho5
I tried both be 4 words i have. Not seeing it.
But now i got it. Ty.
The singular does not work. Very interesting. Ty.
So still need a clue and stat for an 8 please.
Yeah its a 7/9 combo not a 8
Ty
Any 8s welcome
Pe 7/32 8/45 combo

THE QUEEN DIED :O
The queen has passed. Long live the King
it's the sort of thing where you know it's got to happen at some point but when it does it's still a shock
It is weird when something has been the case your entire life and it changes. For many of us, Queen Elizabeth had been Queen all our lives. Now...goofy Charles.
I feel in shock. Never has anyone been so devoted to her realm and her job. Her smile could light up a room. Charles just doesn't have her charisma.
yeah. my MOM was only 1 when she became queen.
well, it'll be interesting to see what happens next... will y'all decide to do away with the monarchy entirely?
Oh Man I knew they were worried this morning I hope william and harry got there in time
i don't see how harry could have, if he was in CA
Megan didn't go. Harry went on his own.
Y'all are talking about Harry and Meghan like they are friends of yours😊
that's like a 12 hour flight if you can do it without stopping
Doesn't he fly on a private jet?
probably, but it still would take 12 hours
cause it's 6 or 7 across the US and about the same again across the "pond"
it makes sense if you have two young kids, and short notice, that he would go by himself.
Oops. Meghan. I missed out the h.
She is not with the kids. They were in London for some event. He went alone due to the recent "strained feelings" among the family.
ah, ok, that's easier then
Kate Middleton stayed home with her kids.
i knew that they'd gone over for something but didn't know if they had gone back to CA by now or not
a word! i found a word! (i'm at that stage of the grid)
has anyone got all 5 G words?
Yes
i have one each ga, ge, gi, all 4s. help with the others?
gi 5/6 combo....
ah, tyvm
yw....new ones for me...
yeah
over half of my remaining words are P
Oh look, Pen swooped in
oohoohooh i found one
saints can fly like angels... ;o)
In other celebrity news, Angelina and Brad are saying nasty, nasty things about each other.
right col grey!
*flying off to do other things*....
No! Exclamation! point! Pen!
Queen Elizabeth has died.
did not realize it had already been posted
i was beginning to think she would never expire. i lost all respect for her over the appalling way she treated Princess Diana.
90 left and stuck
People have been commenting all day on what a hard grid this is.
it really is, more so than recent ones
Even Ru, Babble Whiz Kid
will have to list earlier rather than later
Queen Elizabeth looked quite cheerful (unusually so) when she met with Liz Truss just recently.
Horrors! 😮
dr. god springing the super hard one on us today since we all came back after yesterday
My comment was to Peri
I need help with left E so I can gray out that column
I think they're all et's
sword combo, and ep6/7 which is weird but we have had before
hello again - finally made it bck
hmm, thinking
ep6/7 what you do to corn for the movies is in the middle of the words
/ty both. I do not receall ever seeing these words in a grid.
new ones for me
ty molly - good clue
according to my scrabble dictionary ep6 is an epic poem. so nothing to do with swords
CLUE for the first ep 736 please
right, it's the short ones that are swords
yes
oh lawdy
didn't find out until I got home about an hour ago that the Queen had passed -- when was the announcement made?
weird word, also seems new to me. and I was wracking my brain on what people do to corn in movies until I reread it
I wonder if Charles will stick with Charles or use one of his other names?
well jeepers, wikipedia has already put him up there as Charles III, idk if whoever did that actually knows or is just assuming
They keeps saying King Charles on the news.
my thoughts as well, hurshy
Ick! That's awful.
If you recall they were calling Catherine "princess" at first
well, now Kate actually WILL be princess kate
yes
The news that I've seen is calling him King Charles III, and I'm sure that's something they would have sorted out pretty quickly.
yeah i mean one obviously can make the decision ahead of time so that one is ready to announce it when the time comes
you would think so -- especially as she was obviously failing the last couple of months
phew, done with this grid at last
grats, hurshy -- going to take a lunch break
I'm eating a delicious ðŸ‘
hursh, can you clue me the first ep 7 36
wish I could taste a delicious strawberry :( - had Covid, lost taste and smell - 7 weeks now - lost 14 pounds - there's the plus LOL
that stinks
sorry to hear that it has hit you so hard, sugr
it does hokie - all I smell is like burnt ashes or wires burning it's horrible - but wine goes down ez LOL
and no delicious strawberries for us, they're past the season so the ones in the grocery store aren't good
tx Cyber - its my 2nd time
I have an appt for the new booster on Mon
it's amazing how playng this game gets you through hard times - just reading all your stories, realizing your out there like me LOL
haven't had it yet and hope to keep it that way
prayers Cyber
I haven't ever tested positive. thought I've had it like 4 times.
will be eligible for my 3rd booster in November.
no more shots for me - done with it - 'll get the flu shot though
3rd booster? wow. only my 2nd one.
getting my flu shot mon too
this past time that I had it, I tested negative 4 tmes - but i was very very sick - with like the worst cold - but I spoke with the doc, and he said not all strains of covid are tested with the tests - he said since i lost my taste and smell, especially for so long, I had to have had some strain of Covid. I'm sucking in essential oils like they are going out of style, I did the burnt orange, I ate the burnt orange, I suck lemons - I even did a round of steroids - but, I can taste watermelon, I think LOL LOL
I'm expecting that a COVID shot (for the latest strains) will become a regular thing like the flu shot. It's certainly been deadlier than the flu overall.
no offense but I think essential oils are like snake oil, lots of promises, not a lot of delivery
Ditto.
and no testing to speak of, because there's not much money to be made
There has been medical research on using essential oils (and other strong smells) to retrain your brain to smell normally.
After COVID infections.
Probably doesn't involve eating burnt orange and sucking lemons, I would guess.
yeah, that
that's why I tried them LOL
At worst, I guess it's unlikely to be very harmful.
Just got "chassis" on my third guess in the 7-letter version of MoreWordle!
I hope that wasn't a spoiler...
My sis is a General Practitioner and was a huge advocate of vaccines. Right up until she jabbed her healthy 17 yr old son & he developed Bell’s Palsy & horrible lesions all down his aesophagus (sp?) Otherwise very healthy teenager laid low with random ailments directly after getting vaccine. Go figure
Well, there certainly hasn't been an epidemic of that going on.
yeah that's the thing - there will always be some small segment of people that reacts badly to anything
and you can't know in advance who that will be, usually
Hi, Soodle, A belated Happy Birthday to YOU!
kinda like how in a very small percentage of car accidents, people are saved by NOT having their seat belt on, because they are thrown from the car and it then explodes. but the vast majority of the time, you're still better off having your seatbelt on. so you gotta go with the stats.
Soodle, I'm sorry to hear about your nephew's reaction. Epidemic or nt, something like that can make a person re-think their view on vaccines.
certainly, once a particular person has had a bad reaction to, say, a flu vaccine, THAT person might not want to keep getting them, but it doesn't change what everyone else should be doing
Except I didn't read anywhere where there was a definitive link between this poor boy's medical woes and the vaccine. People assume a connection where one doesn't necessarily exist. It isn't very logical
yeah, we often don't know. but it wouldn't be unreasonable, esp in consultation with one's own doctor, to decide not to risk it
One anecdotal story would never make me change my attitude toward vaccines or anything else for that matter.
Sorry, I don't usually express opinions here.
^5 for statistics being more important than anecdotes!
I hadn't heard about using essential oils to retrain your smeller, but I guess I can buy that. I don't think you're supposed to eat them though.
Well I am giving big value to the fact that his mother is a physician
help with 2nd ap7 please
peri - if something is very fitting, it has a lot of ap7
I don't see the connection Molly
well, certainly not calling soodle's sis a quack since I don't know her or anything about her, but some physicians are, despite all their schooling.
it's not even about being a quack or not. it's just that doctors are human beings and might sometimes be swayed more than they should by a negative personal experience. completely understandable.
esp when the negative experience is in one's child - such a fierce protective instinct there
Yes. I think spreading thsi anecdotal stories can acuse a lot of harm, becasue people are too quick to jump from A to W or something, without logically working it through
And there's this for Bell's Palsy - it almost always temporary.
True Hurshy
True Gillie
ty hurshy
but it's funny too because i have a friend who is a doctor and she was TERRIFIED during her pregnancies because she knew ALL the possible things that COULD go wrong. but, none of them did, she had two perfectly healthy pregnancies and babies.
having trouble here even with the list. ep7/36 anyone
Ask Nan
my sister has Bell's Palsy and has had it for years. she is a doctor herself. It has effected the right side of her face and ger right eye
peri, you know an ep7 word that means like the best example of something - like he's the ep7 of a shrewd lawyer, or something? replace m in that word with p
I was morbidly worried during my second pregnancy that I would suffer a uterine inversion, which is extremely rare and quite fatal LOL
Sounds like Soodke's nephew got more than Bell's Palsy after his vaccine
thanks hurshy, new word for me
I have a friend who has had Bell's palsy for several years
And I'm not sure how the credibility of Soodle's sister's medical skills or the word quack got into this conversation.
Maybe you should go back and read the conversation. No one called Soodle's sister a quack or questioned her credibility.
Thanks for the advice. I did read the chat.
So did I . No one sdai Soodle'
said Soodle's sister was a quack.
Well, that's it, met my goal for today so I am out of here.
Although, if she is actually giving up all vaccines on the basis of one bad reaction to one vaccine, "quack" does seem like the appropriate description. (The flu shot is a vaccine too, incidentally.) Bell's Palsy can be distressing, but it's nothing to the death or paralysis polio brought to so many children.
