too tired to keep up -- good night all
night nan
finding this u incredibly hard
I'm certainly finding it hard, but you've been doing better than me, I think.
now have 3U and still can't find that single L, so no HOET
I might have tried lablist more than 4 times. you know, either one who labels or a list for the lab.🤣
I've definitely tried, even though I think it would come from the higher L
you are right, took me a while to see it that way
I think I've tried lablier twice now, and I don't even know what that would be
lol, me too!
are there any LL words other than llama anyone can think of?
I think llano
dizgrannie said the lone L was la7 (if that's what you were looking for)
Found it - ends with a drink
a liquor drink?
yes
I must need sleep. can't get that to work. but thanks!
yw - I'm going to leave this for now. Good night!
good night
phantom liability. 53 left for tomorrow. good night.
that la 7 is an old fashion banner
jeepers - tough grid for sure
wow - my 3rd word was a 9
My first word was fl4/9. Hahaha.
HI, Scrab - I started with the bA 4/6, then got the 9
I see it. TY!
im liking this grid, so far
I am doing ok so far.
23 Cs. Ugh.
May I have stats, please, for the L in the fourth row, first column?
I can't figure out that word.
Me either
flare
Sorry!
I have that word.
:)
wow - found a 4 letter word with 3 Ls; hi Champ
Oooh....will be on the lookout...thx IG!
Just got it. Never would
have typed that!
TY
murn
Not a word. Too bad.
try an A or the N
TY
prepping for big storms here in N. Texas today
Tornados?
possible; hail, wind, etc...
It's so gross out there this a.m., IG! We'll get those tonight, apparently.
We are have a return of summer for several days, with temperatures in the low 70s
good old squall line coming thru around noon here - fun!
Us too. I wore shorts yesterday afternoon again. Hate this in-between time of year!
I could wear shorts today and tomorrow, getting up to 18C here today and 20C tomorrow.
Youll get cold soon and sure enough up there, Sukee
We will...it'll be downhill from here on
amazing how many words you can add a y to
I tried tried a bunch of those that didn't work. I am desperate.
yes, adding Ys and Cs to lotsa words
Have to go, getting groceries delivered soon
Enjoy the ay, Sukee.
see you later!
I will try, you too.
found the other 9. AR 9/66
Thanks...looking now....
Does it have the same ending?
a formal cease-fire
Then NOT the same ending... :) Got it. thx
Got it. TY.
Tx IG!!
Yw, Hi Une
Hi Une
"same ending" confused me, Champ - its early
gonna crank up the brain with some black coffee
I passed halfway so I need to get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
Gotta run. BBL. Have a great day!
emuscoire
I truly did not expect that to be a word, honest! lol Note to self, do not leave cat unattended by laptop.. :)
dont like todays grid!!
It's not nice, can't get many at all.
its awful
flab
flabs
ball
ball
sorru
name that circus in the grid
Barnum!
ding ding ding!
Hee hee :-(
:-) smile not frown!
ablist is SO a word!!!
Oh NM, It keeps the e
there's an E in there too, player :)
but that hadn't stopped me from trying in, to be honest
what a miserable grid today!
a grid that has mu5/16 in it can't be all bad
I did get HOET last night but still 47 left. there are some real words we don't get a lot though, so kinda fun.
the -LTY -ILY ending is killing me
yeah, just add it to everything
I still have a lot of words left on the big tiles...5M, 5A, 6S, 6C, 7B
you can be listlessly but not listly or listily
the S is my worst letter so fr
i'm just on the first row so far
I really struggled with the E on first pass but now just need 2
name that Italian pasta in the grid that is mysteriously accepted, or rather, don't name it beyond the stats haha
hmm, not sure I have seen any pasta
it's not a shape, it's a brand
<---- my angel baby is in the grid too :D
Barilla
I did try ru7 which isn't a word but might be a pasta sauce brand
ba 7/36 mael
yes, thought of that last night, hurshy
ah, thanks molly
they have good GF pasta
ding ding ding, but put it in the grid too, Molly
origami wins :)
the def. makes it a little less appealing
I guess it's also "an impure alkali made from the ashes of burned plants" who knew
they have good no-boil lasagna in GF but it's hard to find
Really, who thought that would be a good name for pasta? Unless it is someone's last name.
it's probably unrelated, like when the Chevy Nova didn't sell well in Spanish-speaking countries because No Va means it won't go
I keep trying lasily because the brits hate z's but of course it's not a word
Yep, someone's last name. Pietro Barrilla.
it is, it doesn't mean that in Italian at all :)
it's just the guy that founded the pastificio
i've got 4 U but even that has been a struggle, and i haven't found any un-
yes, I have 4 UR and that was a struggle
oh then i need one of yours and you need my us6
there, got another one
ur5/6 and 2 4s
oh, found a us6, thx. been trying that for everything.
I only have a u4 and a u6
make that two u4s
don't forget the bear!
I have the bear :)
bbl
you are the bear
(unexpected PB)
Name that proper noun...she had a handsome ghost friend
Mrs Muir
Mrs. Muir
Tie between Origami and Shirlock. You both get a blueberry pie.
there's also John Muir, who was instrumental in the creation of national parks
I'll take that pie!
hello...may I have the stats for the bottom left L pls?
la7/44
ty
la7/44 - I had to look it up even knowing the last 3 letters
:O
but I didn't know the points, that might've helped
can give a clue if anyone needs
please, carla
it's like what I tore in my shoulder, which is la6, but stick an extra vowel in.
ends in caribbean liquor
la7 place where a mad scientist makes a pirate drink
ty carla and Molly
ty carla, molly
ahh, babbling on a quiet, sunny morning, drinking tea...
misice - when the restaurant puts too much or too little ice in your drink
Thanks for that la7. I try to work it into almost every conversation.
lol
I wouldn't. It sounds way too much like another word that would raise eyebrows.
well, I have just tried to make every -ity, -ily, and -ably M word and still have 3 M's left.
I live to raise eyebrows :D
i do have two mis- words, do you have some of those hokie?
I have one, mi6/21
there are two, same stats
(at least)
One of the many reasons I like you, Origami. 😊
well, it's not to tie your shoes wrong
😊
Ts Toppled!
Ys Yanked!
phantom mystic has inspired me to crank up Into the Mystic.
does anyone have both i's in 2nd col?
I love that song.
one of my top 5 faves of all time
no, hokie, i only have the flower/eye part
not for lack of trying on my part
is + what sheeps do
oho, just found two more ur words, 6 and 7
thanks ruru
well that's a new one
oceanic term
stats for 8s and 9s appreciated, i only have nu8
and that's a bs word inclusion, as it's an acronym
AL8
MU8
(says the queen of acronyms)
ba9/72
BA8
I like acronyms but they shouldn't be on word lists as actual words
sorry, BA9, not BA8 (as far as I know, still missing 1 8)
ty, got the ba9 now
got the AL
let's go back to this UR set...what's the points on the 6?
got the mu
ur6/24 - tis a medical condition

38 left
oh.. it's been fairly easy until hit 150.. now it's a little more difficult
the big ones have been easier for me than usual but the rest, not so much.
Finally got an 8 :D
they're not too easy for me to find. I have only 2 and only 1 9
found a word to gray a tile! now just need one L to gray 1st col.
I only have one 9 and one 8
I only have one more 8 than you ruru. I have 3 8s and 1 9. but that's easier than usual for me.

Medical pedant here. ur7 is "a raised level in the blood of urea and other nitrogenous waste compounds that are normally eliminated by the kidneys." hematuria is blood in the urine. And yet Une got the clue. All is well.

Hey, ru. Just a heads up...we are going to Wisconsin (you should hear how I say that!) for Thanksgiving. Leaving the weekend before and back after the holiday. We are staying in an AirB&B while there. Stopping two night at hotels up and back. Always fun with my momma and two cats. Mr. B also adds an edge to the experience.
oh sounds like fun jeez
I don't travel well. And Mr. B's 1st will be there.
rehi

It's not easy, for sure, mool.

well, we had a nice weather day
going to have a couple of days in the 60s then down to highs in the 40s for several days coming tho
we might have rain tomorrow
that's good
I mean on the nice weather :)
not for my sat tennis game (rain)
yeah, unless you're ready to switch to water polo
ooh, just found my other 8
sorry 9
I still need 1 8
5-6-7-10-1
yeah, me too 4-7-6-6-1
it has been a board
yep. I got to 47 last night and have only found 18 words today.
yoiks
still have 5 B's and 5 C's
E MMM EEE LL AA SSSS C BBBB L F
actually should be 3 F's on the bottom
EE MM N R U OO L AA SSS CCCCC BBBBB LL FF
I'm really confused about your 3 E's on 2nd row
and should be R on the second row :)
I have tried several times to find my 4's but nothing
just found a 4
easy one
did you notice noice in the grid?
any guesses on my last N?
noice find
certain problems and more musality than others
oh, we saw another bear in our neighborhood when we drove back in this evening
it's an infestation!
you have bears!
there are definitely a lot
found another 4
I have prairie dogs, though only have seen one at my actual house
also we have wild hogs tearing up people's yards but apparently we have some pros that trapped and killed a couple the other night. but they are gonna keep looking!
found a 5
still have found none
barmist (n.) (1) someone who practices being barmy (2) fog in a drinking establishment
a twofer
thought it was worth the extra time
so was that a clue for my N or just a random musing earlier?
random
hmph
all the n's are either common words, or commonly found here in babble
two packs of three, a two pack and two individuals
what about the U? I have one US and the rest UR
you need another ur...could be a 4, but possibly the 7
or maybe you missed a plural
ok, looks like I'm missing an N from a 3 pack
btw, I think noirist should be a word
all those detective novels from what the 1940s?
or film
I gotta go, might check in later
adios, I'm sure I'll still be at 29
carla
what up, TO
hello...am i supposed to know RU 7 and SU 7?...
which ru7? one yes, and one no.
su7 rhymes with the no you shouldn't know ru7
guess i have the "yes" one...
a clear "cup" that sticks to glass is a su7 cup
should have found that one...thanks...
Good morning and thanks for those :)
hello liz! and you're welcome
hi liz...
and of course you're welcome too pen
i am done...
broke down and went to list with 29 left. still can't find words.
well done, pen
Congrats, pen
I've also gone to the list - but with 50 left
I wish I could say that the list was helping lots
ty....i went to the list with 42 left....lost patience with this one....
a lot of words I've never seen before.
same here....
well i am heading out....goodnight all....
seems like they're all 7s too
Have a good evening
good night, pen!
well 9 left after listing
Good work - 29 here, so far
so now I either quit or look up 9 words
Eventually I look up words - then hope I'll remember them in future grids.
I usually do too, just hate to do that many :D
:)
I don't know if I ever have remembered them in future grids though.
I guess eventually I do because I remember a lot more "babble" words than I used to - not just babblers.
babblets
I dont even care if I finish but would like to have only 80 left as that is 2/3rds of the grid
I mean getting 160 is two thirds lol
oh, you can do that cheryl
well, the first one I looked up is scottish!
One of the things I like about babble, is that everyone can play in their own way and either complete a grid or not - no judgment.
because of course it is
yep
So many are!
I'd say 90% of the words I check the def of because I've never seen them before are scottish
Can I have a hint for al 8 please
Someone who shouts "Fire!" in a theatre
Also for me 8
(when there is no fire)
Oh wow! I thought that was there but decided it wasn't. Thanks.
Should've tried it
yw - don't have the me8
quitting at 202 -- have had enough
Good score nan - have a good evenign
good job, nan
of or having to do with segments
I'll have to think about that.
Thanks though.
hmm, me too
yeah sorry dont know how to clue it never heard of it more or less fat fingered
OK - off to make a chocolate babka - back later.
Good luck with the grid.
yum
Wow this grid
got my 160
woot
May come back later probably not
Got to 180, and I'm done. My brain is ready for the weekend.
mine too, I have a migraine
well done
The me8 is derived from the Greek word for division, apparently (if that helps). I used MoreWords
ok makes sense segments are a kind of division I guess
i just looked it up right after I looked up er7. so lizlin if you come back and see this and have an odd er7, add an M to it.
hello all
Thanks for the er7, carla!
haha, yw
hey TO
there's another er7 I had to look up gillie. you may have it...the act of using the other end of the pencil
I didn't - ty
i got excited after that and tried the 80s new wave group, but that needs 2 r's and 2 e's. ;)
Not in my wheelhouse, I'm afraid :)
erasure
Of course!
well, my last one - and I looked it up - is a stupid form of a somewhat valid word.
Good going!
I've got 64 left, but I only just came back to it after last night
me 8 pls?
I ended up leaving 47 for today and it took me a really long time to get to 29 before listing.
ends in facial spasm
ty
middle part is most of what the sun does in the morning
i do not like this grid. lots of questionable words
and boring 4 letter words
turned into a slog for sure
i am at that point where i cannot seem to see anything.
I know that point well
but if i wait too long and get stuck there will be no clues
okay i need to break now. later gator
sorry I missed you leaving, my mom called. good luck!
are you here, carla?
bailey
