ty diz - just realized those were for me
I got distracted trying to find long ones that had been called
167 found. I30 for later.
Sorry! Just passing through so don't have time to comment until later.
not looking good for Naples/Ft. Myers area
Yes, and Babbler Aloysius is in the path.
I need to get to work. Bye.
Naples is a wealthy vacation area, Ft Myers more working class - small but dense pop.around 70,000 near the water. I lived there years ago
the whole state of florida is in big trouble right now, I live ocean side and waiting to lose power any minute. Lots of wind and rain. scary stuff. Now a cat 4 and just short of a 5
good luck, Nancy - hope youre not on the South West Coast
take care nancy - so, so scary. can you evacuate safely?
I am ocean side in Melbourne.
not evacuating, No place to go that is safe. All of Florida is in danger for the next two days.
you should be ok, except for power outage, and poss. tornados
oh, is that all.
sorry - didnt mean to minimalize it
Ten inches of rain forecasted for my area. wind at 140 right now.
that ok grey, i know you didnt mean to minimalize. Just really scary stuff because Florida is so thin there is apt to be flash floods from both sides with a hurricane this size.
I've been praying for the people in Florida, may God protect you Nancy
News says Ian is expected to be a cat 5 when it hits.
It is daylight here but still dark. Weird.
looking at the map, Ft Myers is about to be under water
Thank you marksdaool
140 - i've never heard of such wind force as that. and you're in the dark at 8 still. worrying. to say the very least.
yvw, I will continue to pray throughout the week
stay safe, Nancy! I hope your power stays on and that your house is in a higher spot
marksdolly and all of my Babble friends. If I disappear, you will kmow my power is out.
hope people left town, but I doubt many did. Ians winds are now at 155
I am not brave enough to hang around for a Category 5 hurricane. I would drive hours away and sleep in my car if I had to.
prob have to since hotels are filled up; as power goes out no gas, even up-state. Thats why so many just hunker down
my cousin just moved to Tampa a few months ago. I hope she went somewhere.
I hope she did too Carla. Scary stuff coming down there.
my inlaws in Jax never leave
Floridians tend to think "it will prob.miss us". Until it doesnt, as in Ft Myers right now
hey, found an 8/9!
and I love finishing a big tile on first pass
my cousin just sent a screen shot of where they are. she said they are out of evac zone c, whatever that means.
you also really don't want to get caught in gridlock traffic when the hurricane comes, sometimes leaving late is worse than not leaving at all
Oh I wouldn't leave late. I would scurry on out at the first indication of trouble. I'm a big chicken. I probably wouldn't even live in a place that could get hurricanes.
Holy shit. Cuba's power grid completely collapsed. 11 million people without power.
yeah, I saw that. horrible.
wow, bad bad news for all from the hurricane
are they expecting the hurricane up your way hokes?
:(
pr 7 40 please
we're definitely getting rain from it, not sure what it will be when it gets here, ruru
ok.. stay safe
we have been doing lots of outdoors stuff since it's going to rain for like 5 days starting Fri.
and now I'm going to walk winston - today is his 6th birthday!
happy birthday, winston!
pr 7 40 let's get going
Or, before we pr7 further
ooh ty got it
top row grey!
still stuck on that pr7 - any alternate hint?
You may pr7 to the next level
my driving app always says "pr7 to the route" at first, when i'm in a big parking lot
derp, ty (btw, derp is not accepted and I find this .. unacceptable) :)
lol
phantom: paper
Happy birthday to Winston!
I guess the free spelling bee still isn't working right because it is stuck on yesterday.
curiouser and curiouser
I've got 150 and wallowing
I found wordle to be very hard today
wordle was tricky today -- i got lucky
It was tricky. But some zen master here will say they got it in two.
mech
oops not a word anyway
hello all....
hi pen
hi hursh....doing better today?
somewhat, yes
good...
ty
do you know how you caught covid hursh?
Mech sounds like a Yiddish word. Like drek
Probably from the COVID virus molecules flying around attacking everyone. Especially lone drivers in their cars.
well, my dad was sick, but his PCR test was negative. then my mom, then my sister (after visiting here), but they didn't get any reliable testing done. so that's one possibility. the other is i got it from one of the kids in tutoring
They can shoot you with their tiny COVID attack missiles.
ooh, so close to ceremony
I almost got it in 2, I was so mad at myself :)
off to get my new covid booster, wish me luck!
good luck, mael....
phantom: desert
and propose....
you know it's interesting about wordle
just hearing people say that it was hard was a clue in itself for me, made it easier for me to get
i think the ones that require more than two or three tries are more satisfying than the ones one gets in two....that, to me, is luck....
Told you some Zenner would say it was easy
agreed....when someone says that, i try less likely words....
i'm not saying it WAS easy, just that someone saying something about it made it easiER, because of what pen said
hi all. help with so9 please
hi peri...
do you have so 6?....it builds on that
so9 is like a person who is in a club about a certain kind of poetry. There was a club in the 60's that Annette Funicello was in like it.
it is a so 6/8/9 combo...
There were also three guys with muskets like it.
i think of swords with them rather than muskets but i guess they did have muskets
well they weren't called the three swordsmen.. ;o)
Okay, that helps me with the last 4 or 5 letters
Yeah, musket is where the name came from.
The poetry part of the clue is supposed to help with the beginning. Starts with so...
doh...got it
i have the 6 and 9
ty Molly
there is a pt...
well i am heading out....bbl for my last 50...bye all....
and have the 8
Hi. I am stuck on the E from the 3rd column and the one from the 4 th column. I have 5 8's, both 9's and some E words are throwing me off!
And Smore is SO a word. Babble may just be being unAmerican!
lol
it's s'more
that's the problem
similar to why we don't get to have yo-yo if that is present
I love s'mores
or "isn't" for that matter!
third column E, i have an ec4, playergirl
4th col has es5 and es6 (the latter is a normal word)
i too would be glad to know what the other 3rd column E is
*Lights the fire and gets the chocolate, grahams and allows for Origami
*mallows
25 left!
i have been finding this a nice grid. Ps not harder than other letters, which is a nice change for me
good morning :) Started out the day with wordle. Is it my imagination, or are the words getting a little less common as time goes on?
dunno. i’ve found it easier as the words have gotten less common, though that’s about me, not the game, i think
have a question on behalf of my granddaughter who is writing a skit for her film class -- do or did the people living in the southern US have a slang word for cigarettes that was peculiar to that region?
not, to my knowledge, at least in the Virginias and Kentucky.
cigarillo was heard some when i was young, mostly from younger people, though.
so just called smokes down there?
bum a smoke is a common phrasing, historically.
i meant older not younger below, oops. cat on my chest and wrists,
I've heard "a cig"
.. clue for the first sc 7 plz
and rehi, peoples
Google says a southern states slang for cigarettes is "joe" but I have never heard that. Cig and smoke are the more common ones.
oops nv got it
huh. never hear joe for cigarette, that means coffee.
A cigarillo is a cigar not a cigarette.
I thought a cigarillo was a tiny cigar
also agree on joe being coffee, but wasn't camel's mascot Joe Camel?
maybe that's why google is confused
All I can tell you naysayers is that if you do a Google search for "southern states slang for cigarettes" joe comes up. As I said, I have never heard it either.
I have found two so6 and 8"s but cannot find the rest 9 for the life of me.....?
pull the ending from volunt***
The only slang word I have ever heard for cigarettes is stogie but that was used many years ago. It made it into Roger Miller's "King of the Road"
I thought stogie was a cigar
Or maybe stogie was a cigar too
tyvm Molly....sorry to the rest of you clears for being so dense.:(
Now joints, they have a lot of slang terms.
I am still doing first pass so ignoring all clue posts, so no biggie
I thought joints were always pot
No, I mean words that mean joint, like doobie, blunt, fatty, etc.
oh, you're saying now take joints for ex, not joints currently. I got ya.
Thank you - have passed this along.
Sure Carla. I have no idea what that meant, but sure.
What a convo to come in on...
e
speaking of E, these lower E's are an enigma
or are enigmas I should say
4th row
yes - only have one from each
same
from that left hand E there is a 5/6 combo using 3 of the same vowel
closed the bottom one with an ec 4 babblet
ah, thanks, dolly. I always miss that since it's initials.
yvw
ty dolly and carla

are 2 6s to go with that combo

lol

just need 2 more for the 1st col. e now
I just have one left there
glad I could be of help
I have ea4 plus the 3 em's

same
another ea4
wow, did not see that, thanks, bea
ty bea
off for breakfast :)
yw
I need to eat lunch
well, HOET after first pass but still 62 left. so many left on the P & C.
I did not get the so9 even with clues
found an so8
oh, thanks for the 9. I did see some partial clues for that earlier so now it makes sense.
I have so6 and so8 help with so9 please
it's one who composes so6, but there's an extra vowel in there, such as in some retired folks do v* work.
annette funicello was a famous mouske*
ah got the so9 thanks
ty carla
no prob
hidey hodey
hey moo
hey peri

too early for stats? 8-17-19-10-6. yeah, maybe.
Sad that people don't know the Annette Funicello club and The Three Musket----
My Mom bribed me to stop watching the Howdy Doody show and watch Mickey Mouse Club
I mean, I wasn't even born yet but know AF
What did she have against Howdy Doody?
9-7-14-5-1-1
Too childish for a 10 y,o.
Never saw either of those shows. I was 13 before TV reception came to our town and my kids watched Sesame Street.
I lived in NYC and we got all those shows
alright, I decided to make waffles for lunch
sounds ambitious
sounds yummy - only waffles I make now come out of an eggos box
the hardest part was finding where I put the waffle plates for my cuisinart griddler.
hi folks! getting ready for a long camping trip - and packed the waffle maker (same as yours, hokie)
I don't consider Eggos to be the same thing. I actually thought for most of my life that I didn't like waffles because I'd only had Eggos.
where are you headed welki?
ooh, welki, sounds fun!
Mr. B makes Belgian waffles every Friday
where to ?
back to california for a month and then
, destination unknown for another two-three months
wow
that is a long trip.
we're planning on doing a LOT of fishing. bought a small (but very sturdy) inflatable boat and trolling motor, plus we'll flyfish streams/rivers as they turn up
we were going to bring our float tube set ups, but the lake in california is a big one - very tiring if the wind whips up and sails you across to the other side
please make sure the water is safe --- you don't want montezuma to come for a visit!
Sounds wonderful, welki.
hey, we're south of you but not mexico!
it does sound wonderful
boring slog of a grid
with a little luck, we won't end up in the water, nan; and we catch/release, so no worries from the fish
where are you, hokie?
yes but with all the drought we have had the streams aren't as pure as they used to be
no, it's the same in california - the lake is very low, streams are slow
you are going to mexico? my friends just moved to rosarita
well, we moved to SC, but was just pointing out to nan that montezuma's revenge is from drinking the water in mexico.
(no mexico for us)
ok - if you aren't eating the fish then it doesn't matter. Only time I've been fishing is every weekend when I was akid -- always looked forward to having rainbow trout for dinner :)
ohhhh, hokie, i thought you meant you were on a road trip
they are building. high end $() SF compared to $3-400
we have our motorhome on consignment at a dealer right now. no idea if they are even getting any bites.
not only mexico carla -- had a visit from montezuma while touring France and China.
what class motorhome?
we have an f150 powerboost with the 7.2 generator on board - we tested running the trailer with it yesterday - winner!
we have a class A
(which means we can boondock if we want to)
like a bus?
yeah, we didn't do a lot of boondocking, but it was nice having a generator.
yes, the class A is like the bus type that rock bands, etc. have.
not the partridge family *lolol*
they are very hard to come by because so many bands are on the road now all at once
sorry, got distracted
I would think the price of gas would prohibit a lot of travel in those things.
okay so who's going to mexico?
yeah, ours is a diesel which is very high right now
back to packing - later, folks
Or (in Carla's case) the Barbie Dream Camper
bye welki
not me - staying home. With gas back up at $1.89/litre it is cheaper to fly.
time to do some housework. this grid is that boring.
and now that masks are no longer mandatory on planes, I'm not going to be flying either.
I never had the dream camper. my neighbor did.
I agree TO - going to list just to get it over with
Aren't you protected as long as you are wearing a mask?
keep seeing innermost, which clearly isn't there
only about 30% if everyone isn't wearing one, molly
30 left here
still 60 here
first row grey
are there some big i's?
biggest one is a 7
still need 1 L and 1 A there too
a's are pretty normal, except perhaps the french word, ad another odd one that shows up a reasonable amount
got the french one surprisingly
we can talk about that afterwards then :)
thought there are two french a's
I only know it from skiing
what's the other one, nan?
I believe she may be referring to the 5/6 combo
along with the other one
yes - mool is correct
phone call
tree service is here to cut dead branches out of my maple tree --- don't think there will be much left when they have finished. Between the extreme heat and extreme cold we've had over the last year and a half, there are a lot of dead limbs.
ok, I think I have those
is it changing colors yet, nan?
You have dead limbs Carla?
well, probably but was referring to the a5/6 combo
not yet -- haven't had any frost other than 2 nights ago when it went down to 2C.
that sounds cold

hi mool....

was 50 here when I got up so am assuming it hit 40 something
first column grey
refresh...
oh...misunderstood...
66 here now....
66 and sunny here
good thought tho...if you go outside and it's not the temperature you expect...refresh and check again
sunny also....
how often does that happen, SC same as ME
71 and partly cloudly last time I looked, supposed to get to mid 80s
i think this is the warmest day of the week here....cool fall....
yeah, I wondered what pen was telling us to refresh
ah, completed my 4s...14 to go
repeat of yesterday, I am slow
0-3-7-3-1
63 and sunny right now, but supposed to get up to 78 today
ha! my last A up top was ae4, very common miss for me.
ah :)
now just need an L and 2 i's on top row
I can guess the L
please do
L6
thanks, had tried that with 2 other last letters but didn't see it until you said that

13 left PP E M TT C SSSS RR
pr7?
to move forward BB?
hmm, don't have that, but I have tried what aretha wanted to get several times
just a little bit...
not propel
no, we are all antipel on this board
not process
ps - yes I know propel is not even a 7
indeed, too much bureaucracy
earpose - something that ear models strike - yes there's such a thing as an ear model
maybe for an earring shop
right
12 to go

0-3-5-3-1
I'll work on it. Ty
it's an ordinary word...
so terribly ordinary
I just spent several minutes saying prepose in my head and wondering what the real word was if that wasn't in the dictionary 🙄
yeah, it's just not acceptable in this dictionary
also I am finished with the small P so I know this has to come from the other
it's a little twisty...
Now that I realize I'm looking at the wrong P, might be a bit easier...
last column and middle row greyed
possibly B
it would work from both Ps....
glad I could help someone if not myself 😜
eureka!
do it with caution
california!
*discreet clapping*....
much fewer odd words than yesterday
I must've been dumbed down yesterday then
final 10... 3-5-2-1
oops, 0-3-5-2-1
I did get :09 on the NYT mini crossword, which is a new record for me
sounds impressive :)
found some words!
That was too hard...
ty
agree, bea
pr 7/40 please?
look for it nan, but pr7 with caution
duh - ty carla
yeah, that's so easy I don't know how you missed it 😜
me neither - getting bored with this
well, bea and I struggled with it literally just below, so I was joking
oh, just finished my 4's with 37 words left. not good.
0-11-14-7-5
I'm assuming that ra 8/50 is a compound, but not seeing anything
oh - found it
do not have but will look
botany -- might have guessed
so, not a compound?
no but could give a clue
it is ends with a large deer missing a vowel
hmmm
lol - was going to say topo gigio without a vowel
Well I have learned something new today. I did not know that a Bullwinkle was just a large deer.
or competing mickey or minnie without one vowel
actulally he is an elk
tx, needed that one
0-3-4-2
thanks, could not think of anything
According to Google they are all the same animal family. Elk, deer and the other.
bullwinkle's last name is moose
Yeah, I was trying not to use that word.
I know, and I didn't care 🤣
not seeing that ra8 even with clues
You so often don't.
how about a running contest + a rodent minus a vowel
That was to Carla, not you Peri
LOL, was just going to say I can't believe you would say that to peri 🤣
Worked for me! Thx carla
U got the ra8 thanks
I'm not going to finish this one. Been a rough day. See you all tomorrow.
meant I got the ra8 thanks
bye, bea. hope tomorrow is better.
back from laundry....
I did laundry today too
and some packing
did you find a new place, peri?
yes
cool...i know you have been looking a long time...
I have my own washer and dryer and a dish washer. central air.
10 minutes from where I am now
wow...i am envious!
awesome! glad you found somewhere.
it is nice. but the landlord will not let me have a cat :(
moving day 11/1
ceiling fan in bedroom
ah, that's too bad....
but it sounds really nice...
oh, that stinks
it is near a nice shopping center that I can walk too and a super market is close by. another market is a little bit farther but I am familiar with it
sounds like a great location for you....
maybe when he see that I am a good tenant he will change his mind about the cat
my room mate is moving back to Mass
perhaps...my old landlord accepted a few pets after saying he would not....
so your find comes at a good time...
110 left and stuck
as a landlord, I would be more likely at accepting a dog than a cat. no offense to cat people but I have been in too many houses with cats that just smell bad. I know some people do a better job with the cat litter than others because I have also been in plenty of houses with cats where you'd never know.
both of my neighbors here have cats and you would never know
and I feel the same about dogs -- dogs do smell! you can clean up cat litter every day, but few people bathe their dogs every day.
agree nan
missing 4 of the 8s but did not see them clued in the chat
true too, nan. would never bathe my dog every day though, for multiple reasons, the main one being it would smell like wet dog every day.
it all goes back to the owner and not the pet....
yes, and a landlord just isn't going to take the chance
I mean some do, obviously
I understand but I do not like it
bbl
yes....here there is a significant extra deposit and monthly fee for someone with a pet....and it's counted by the number of pets...
I agree with Carla about pet odor. Cat odor is much more pronounced than dog odor.
yes, now that we don't have our motorhome I have been looking at vrbos and airbnbs that allow pets and it's ridiculous how many have a weight limit for dogs.
Probably because dogs don't do their business in the house.
probably because they do their business IN the house....
LOL....
Not to mention the cat hair everywhere in a cat owner's house.
like winston is going to cause more damage than a dog that weighs 40lbs. I mean, he is going to leave more dog hair than others, but not because of his weight.
No clue what Pen means but okay
we pretty much said the same thing...
pen just said the same thing as you and was laughing about it
:oD
you said dogs don't, pen was saying cats do
here it is, lunchtime, and I have been at this all morning and still have 29 left. So much for productivity. bbl
i am stuck at 25....
bye, nan...
I am stuck at 36. think I will look at the bee and then go outside.
the Bee isn't bad....bye for now...
gotta go...bbl....bye all....
Big grid, must be fun.
someone said yesterday that the wordle 2 spelling bee on nyt was up and running, but it doesn't seem to be running today - just a blank page
rehi, back to see if I can knock off these last 9
hi again it is the sc's that are my nemesis
bi 6 please?
nm - monkeyed it
Not a fan of that word. BBL for last 7
no idea what it means
what's the points?
bi 6/27
shortened form of the actual word
no idea
I have at least three pairs, though one is currently unlocatable
I use them for one of my interests :)
ah
thanks
yw
co 7/40 please?
still 9
so it is a shortened version of a visual aid?
don't have that co7
follows the contestant words
you know, nan, what people use for like bird-watching
yes nan
which co7/40?
oh
sounds like a last person's name
can you tell I had 4 hours sleep?
yes - you do seem to be struggling
anyway...same stem as the others
but goes the other way
but a surname could be anything, so isn't helping me
and thanks for the clue...didn't have it
0-3-4-1
monkeyed it though
apparently an ecclesiastical term
I'm talking to my brother and trying to play so of course not paying attention to either
ah, found a word!
7 to go
and another (related)
can I get some help with the in6/7 I can't manage
perhaps you're more familiar with the adjective form, which has ntly on the end
or the sticky word that isn't in the grid
ah, thanks
or more bluntly...we're not out there
lol

do you have the yiddish ones?
sc 7/40 please?
don't know any yiddish
so no
heh, just found that before you posted
sc 7/40 is what they call a blob of creamcheese on a bagel in New York City
yiddish has roots in german if that helps
was my last 7...
I have a sc 5 that is like the little blue blobs that were in the cartoons a long time ago -- suppose that could be yiddish
I actually have that one
got the sc 7 - ty
there's a 5/6 combo
sc, yiddish
I don't know german nor yiddish, so I just don't think of that word
right
lived in NYC a couple of times, so came across it there
*!*~*!* --- a long dreary grid today, I thought
congrats nan
5 left for me
I'm getting to the point that it is the company in the chat that is what keeps me coming back :)
one of the reasons I stick around nan :)
me too
as I said in the philisophical blurb I posted in my profile -- I am thankful that all of you are passengers on my train.
that's a very sweet thing to say nan
* sorry - fingers getting tangled up there
definitely enjoy the company and the banter here
Back. 202 left.
hey scrab
Have we heard from our Florida Babblers?
hi scrab - just about to move on unless any clues are wanted?
No, I am fine.
enjoy your afternoon nan
if Ian hit Florida as badly as Fiona hit Nova Scotia, they may not have any power.
yeah, I was watching some live camera footage from Fort Myers...they already had almost 6 feet of water over the barrier island
Enjoy your evening eveyone -- have a date to play cards at the clubhouse tonight, so think I'd better grab a nap.

I will look.
I think that ca8 is bs
but of course I tried it earlier thinking stranger things have been on enable
me too
you've never lost control of your car ;)
that would have an n
actually it can also be as it's spelled
first in6 please
of course no def if you click it
a verb to move swifty in an uncontrolled manner
just look up the stem
I imagine some people's professional life also do that
I still call BS 😜

mr. homie needs some bi6, he was just telling me about this big bird in one of our trees, so I'm thinking hawk or eagle, and then I finally see what he's talking about and it's like robin size.
more help with in6 pllease
not that many robin sized birds :)
not out there peri ;)
any markings or colours hoke?
not a cardinal
looked kinda boring. was not a robin.
well that eliminates one of the 600 or so possible options ;)
ty moo
a thrush maybe...the american robin is part of that family
of course it flew off when I finally saw it
of course
I don't think thrush, just looked and I think it was bigger than that
I had a juvenile redtail that was actually flying lower than me on my bike ride yesterday...tried sneaking up on a squirrel
the squirrel was not amused
So cool.
haha, squirrels have it coming
yeah, it actually flew past me just over my head, and hen down just above the ground
I once put my thanksgiving turkey carcass out in my yard when I lived on land in PA...got a redtail on that too...and some turkey vultures too
Haha.
that was my best wildlife house
I have a pair of broadtail hawks living near me in the woods. They start whistling and I go look for them.
you know, it might've actually been a female cardinal but I don't think there was any red on the wings
would have thought I'd find the e by now
hard to see the red on the wings
but the black on the face normally is pretty prominent
plus the bill shape is distinctive
def not close enough to see the bill
robins have pointy beaks for catching bugs...cardinals have triangular ones to crack seeds
which E? I still need 2 upper but have all the others
cardinals also a bit smaller than robins
one upper E
it's a 5 or 6 tho :)
I'm currently looking at the top 31 backyard birds in SC
I passed halfway. Now I need naproxen to knock out this weather-triggered migraine.
ugh, good luck
let me guess... House Sparrow, House Finch, American Goldfinch, Northern Cardinal...
Northern Mockingbird, Blue Jay, American Robin, Mourning Dove...
Carolina Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse (maybe), European Starling
have only seen the cardinal out of those so far. have heard mourning doves here but not right now and it wasn't that, but probably about that big.
yes to the chickadee
I can give you the link
it's okay
american crow #6. we have a buttload of those, but obviously it wasn't that.
obviously
looks like they're projecting Ian to loop back around into South Carolina after getting restarted some in the Atlantic
I have not seen any turkeys today, and I would consider that a large bird
yep, we
yep, we're def getting rain. looks like here and charlotte (where my oldest is) might get hit.
maybe I should get into bird watching since I'm old and live with old people
hah
Hurricane Ian is getting a lot of news coverage in this part of the world. I hope all Babblers and everyone else are safe and dry. Prayers with all...
it's a big one, soodle
the painted bunting is pretty. I'd like to see one of those.
yep
I saw my first one in SC, albeit near Hilton Head
yeah, it says southern part of the state
I got a bunch of female ones in my yard in Miami once
I'm guessing the male is the pretty one
that's a good guess
finally made it to 29
still 4
went to list. have skipped 2 r's.
I only have one r left
a 7 and a 6
all the 7s are regular words, with perhaps the last one being a bit contrived
well the 6 was easy, not sure why I missed that twice
now I know which R the 7 is from
geez
I am sorry about that for sure
:)
argh. pe6. how am I missing all these? I am losing my mental faculties.
well it curves back
I hope the first pe6 is not that easy because I can't find it
still can't find my missing e
no, it's an odd one
not seen it before
I am working from the bottom, so I haven't found mine either
do you have any clue that I might understand?
measurement of really long periods of time?
for instance, something that very really happens, might happen once pe6
really=rarely
thought I tried that, thanks
r
my missing e's were easy
great
probably one of those is yours
because the rest are easy too
heh
well it's the top e
but one is a word I know but don't really use
uneven one?
not sure what that is, it is a 5 I learned in a bible study group several years back
now to the c's - 9 left
oh, the time period one maybe
yep, that was one
yah, had that
the other of mine might describe molly when we post our stats and stuff /s
a small decorative purse :D
😡 just realized I have 4 c8 left
um, no
ah, found it
not that I would have used that term
the c8 all start with the same begining
the en6?
teah
er yeah
so 0-2-1 to go
the year 1800 was preted
of course the most regular of those co words gave me the biggest trouble
of course
well, another crappy game of babble in the books, but as nan said, at least the company is good.
heh
what letters do you have left?
crappy? i was enjoying it
well 3 left, a P an S and an R from the bottom
two 5s and a 6
middle p for reference
i have 20 left
crappy for my performance, hurshy. I'm sure you're doing great.
ah, found my 6
dumb word
the S could be anything. R might be re6.
so a P and an S to go...both 5s
hello all...
pen!
r was re6
carla!
12 to find...
but was it re6/30?
yes
hence my comment
s may be alt sp of yiddish but I think you have all those. or it could be rocks at the bottom of a hill, but I doubt it.
I have the 5/6 combo
need 5
found it
p5 to go for the win
i need co7 after the ones about what you do in like sports or games
there's a P that's italian plural musical term
it's almost like me talking about my performance today, but with a letter removed
I am not a big fan of musical terms, of which the vast majority seem to be italian
(that was for hurshy)
oh
(music clue was for moo)
uh-oh, still confusion
AH
a ty
fw
that's an alt-sp of an evening service
in churches
something about voice parts - italian
it's a mark for like row row row your boat, telling the next group when to start singing
yeah, never heard that before, hurshy
I see, well the italian clue worked enough, thanks
of course
not too many new words in that one
fewer than 10 clues gained or needed...so not too bad
I feel there were a lot of new ones to me
time to cook supper. see y'all tomorrow.
bye, carla....
any clues needed before I leave?
the bi 6?
used for watching feathered friends
hmmm...
its an abbreviation
ah, ty...
uh, pretty stumped here on ro6
it's a "one who" word...
oh wait i also need a 4 there so that is contributing to my confusion
silly me
there is a 4/6 combo...
i thought it was between the next two ro4 that came AFTER that, so i was like aaaack
do you have the first re 6/21?
found it...i am done...
hursh....do you need anything before i go?...
guess not....goodnight all....
The finishers are done. The Itchy and Scratchy Show is over.

I'm looking for the same word aeb, can't find it even on word list
ty for responding back Luv

to go forward
or if you make a donation, the pr 7/40 go to your favorite cause
ty so much.... I had tried everything as one can see on the past chatlist
Many had trouble with that pr7

Bi 6 should not be legal in the grid. I hate all the abbreviations. You dont know what will be used and what will be rejectecd.
