but it worked..lol
calling it a night -- see you tomorrow :)
night Nan
`easzh2 csalo
I must be talking in tongues. oh.......it is my eight week old Havanese puppy learning how to tiptoe through the alphabet
I figured it was a cat trying to communicate, but good for your pup, lol!
And, the Indian bread not naan doesn't really have anything to do with the ro7/8, it just starts that way.
ro7/8 = tiny crustations
thx
Good morning, IG.
mornin, Scrab
cl5/12 greyed out my C. Nice surprise.
aeb, you have a Havanese! Would love to have one
Would Marco let you get one?
Marco is 15 +. Don't know how long he has. But, he keeps going.
Good boy.
Off to work. Enjoy the day.
hello all
good morning aslindy
how's it going?
really busy catching up from being snowbound for a while
wow, 20 Ks
top row grey!
I can't see any of those As
they're pretty standard babble issue
phantom: faerie

Falk

90%!
name that man who invented the polio vaccine!
Salk
ding ding ding
name those chips in the grid
outside columns done, and bottom row
chips are not my forte!
frito
oh duh haha
even I know those :)
right? I even tried it as a word earlier!
the chili cheese ones are yummmo
clue for the eu please?
never mind!
what the miners said when they found gold
thanks ruru
what I said when I found the eu word
great clue
ru, are you being affected by the flooding? What about ori?
ori has been a bit.. mostly power outages. I'm ok here.. driving has been a bit treacherous though
Stay safe.
sure has been coming down here one storm after another
excellent clue, molly
and fw for me
stay safe Ru, what insane weather
I wasn't aware that I posted a clue
oh sorry, I meant lindy
you usually post great clues molly
me neither.. but sometimes people confuse the two of us
:)
True Ru. Maybe we should go by Thing 1 and Thing 2.
after a decade of playing I've finally started remembering that oc5 is a word
hello all. help with bottom Right R please
nm monkeyed them
old but snazzy, peri
nope I didn't find it
Like bell bottom pants
ah ty Molly and mael
It has been years since I heard or saw anyone use the word snazzy
need to go food shopping bbl
(note to self start using snazzy in the chat)
It sounds like a word Hurshy would use
it's a good word
i must be not snazzy as i can't figure out that word
it is a good word
I use it fairly often but then I'm old
substitute snazzy with stylish, if it's easier!
I use it too, and so do my kids haha
They have a pleasant mix of antiques, re5 furniture and contemporary art.
but I heard my 6 year old use "wicked" like a native the other day which made me realize that he... is a native masshole
masshole (affectionate) that is
There are some words I associate with my parent's generation. Nifty and swell are two of them.
The one that got me when my cousins used it was bubbler (what Massachusetts people call a water fountain)
That and tonic for soda
I love the Boston accent
I love the Boston accent
I love the Boston accent
same :)
That's big love
I've lived here long enough that I've taken on the lingo, if not the accent
I work with a guy whose wife is from Boston and he says her parents brought her up NOT to talk like that.
bubbler, packie, wicked, jimmies, cellar
We have an ice cream place nearby called Jimmy Cone
it was definitely a class thing, the accent anyway. but the lingo is pervasive even if you don't say cah and hahvahd
Used to. I think COVID closed them down.
hello...clue for the ro7 pls
I lived in Mass for 13 yrs, they have a lingo of their own, when there they said I had an Iowa accent, here they tell me I have a Bostonian accent
I hired a cab driver to drive me around Boston once just to hear him point out the sites in his accents. I loved it
i've ended up with a very neutral accent, the mass accented balanced out the british accent I started with
ro + note after lah + first three of a boat that transports cars
like I said, molly gives great clues :)
Someone clued it early as tiny crustaceans and I was like "say what"?
I was gonna say that it ended like a source of drinking water
ty Molly
yeah.. they're brackish water crustaceans
I thought you were Italian. Where did the British accent come from?
learning English in Europe
:)
And someone would know that how, Ru
taking marine biology I guess...
Everyone who took marine biology raise their hand
yeah, I don't know my tiny crustaceans
that was going to be my degree Molly at one point in my life
Some dream of being the next Jacques Cousteau?
maybe.. I met him and his son several times he was a pretty great man.. his son, not so much
Oh, that's why you liked that Octopus book so much
yeah.. loved that book
oh man, that's cool
I met Julia Child twice too.. that was really something
The movie won an Oscar for best documentary.
holy crap! that's awesome
Julia Child and Wolfgang Puck? You are really in with the celebrity chefs.
I'm doing an event with Wolf before too long at Chinois on Main
Have you had dinner at Housef Nanking or Fang?
no neither
Alinea in Chicago is HIGH on my list
I'd love to go back to SanFran just to eat.
come on out bea
great places to eat
I just looked at Alinea's website. I would simply not know what to do with the food pictured there. Eat it? Appreciate it's art form? Take a picture of it?
all of the above, molly!
I know it's amazing
I've always wanted to go to Alinea
I think he's one of the greatest chefs in the country
I have pedestrian taste in food.
no you don't..
I've only really explored awesome restaurants on the east coast, I need to make it over to the west coast for food
and also the middle, obv
the food scene is really exciting out here
how do you like sushi, Ru? My favorite restaurant in the world is actually in Boston, O Ya
i'm not a raw food guy.. unfortunately
sushi isn't for me
it's not for everybody :)
I guess steak tartar is out too 😊
another of the most delicious things
yep that's out too
and oysters
I guess I qualify as a raw food gal then
You guys go to some high-stakes restaurants. They look like they charge a cover fee just to get in.
my 8 year old daughter could eat her weight in oysters, it's actually a little alarming
fancy restaurants are my only vice, molly
(no, I probably have more vices, but they're definitely my only expensive vice)
She is 8 already? Damn, I remember when you were pregnant with her.
yup, going on 9
time flies
she's a giant nerd like me, it's excellent
Enjoy her while you can. Once the hormones hit, life with kids becomes very different.
oh I bet
I hope it rolls back around after
if only restaurants were my only vice :D
I also have word puzzles as a vice
(bourbon, scotch, gin, fine wine, good books, fast cars, restaurants, museums, etc)
all good things
yeah that's what I think too
except the cars, I'm more of a "four wheels and a steering wheel" kind of person
I love my sports car
though I shouldn't say that, I love my car right now
I'm never not having an electric car
'morning, babblers
hi welks
morning welki!
I finally finished the Ks
20 Ks is a lot of Ks
I"m missing three
I was just throwing letters in there by the end
usually k's are just four letter words
most of them, with some 5s thrown in, and a couple plurals on top of that
Damn, I didn't hear that Jeff Beck died.
got them.. just difficulty with one four.. that's a wrap.. have a good day everyoone
yeah.. yesterday sad
have a great day ru, 2 left for me
bye for now
42 left here. hi/bye ruru. hi y'all.
still no HOET, not even NBT
FW!
hi hokie
congrats, mael
I'm guessing the single R is RE?
yes, but not re again
hmm
old but new
ugh, thanks. always miss that and similar words
yw
and found one of my other missing tile for HOET!
a bit stuck at 28. think I will do some things. bye, bea, and anyone else still here.
I thought the F's harder than the Ks.
5-6-8-8-1. too many big ones.
the F's have been tricky. I need 4 + 2, and still need 5 K's.
Leaving 15 for this afternoon...
Hi all, 5 minutes to kill, diving in
hello all...
hello everyone :)
hi nan...
ks done
nice!...
grats - still need 8 of them
i need 15, lol....
missing one a from that top row -- dont think it is a 4 unless it is awfully weird
don't have any of those yet...
i have all those As.....did you find the 6?...
every golfer here would argue that retee is a word
yes
they are all real words....
a 4 and 2 5's as well
make that 3 5's
another 5...
ar or at?
no At words....
tried every possible ar 5 from there -- guess it is an ao
or an ae
no AOs....i have all the As from that A....no AE words....
do you want a clue?....
please - i must be skipping the same letter combo over and over
there are four AR words that start with the same four letters....
ty -- missed the one that ends in a vowel
whew!
yw...
there was an ro 7/8 called last night but i haven't found it either -- apparently begins like an indian bread
don't have that....
running out of ideas here -- bbl
bye...
thanks nan
i have ro8 and st8, anyone got the other one?
those are the two that i have...
i only knew those ro words because once i saw a title of a science talk happening at Yale called "Sex and Death in Bdelloid Ro8" and it was just so weird that it stuck in my mind
interesting....i had never heard of it....
another st8
i suppose i would clue it as being similar in format to another word for evergreen trees
same word, different vowel
I do not have the RO
oh, well that's an anticlimax, isn't it? thanks hokie
but, Ss Slayed!
well i just gave a clue there hokie...
carla!....ty....
I can't think of another word for evergreen trees
pen!
think about the way they seed - pine c___
ah, added with the clues I saw last night, I got them, thx
huzzah!
it was "starts with indian bread" and I tried everything for the last 3 letters, but TBF I was on my phone, in bed, and it was super late.
5-6-8-7
still too heavy on the big end
if you just google "bdelloid" then it kinda comes up with the ro word with it anyway :D
honestly I thought bdelloid must've been a typo
science has some wacky words
frue
scuse me
doesn't work anyway
too late
This conversation is getting into advanced word nerd territory
anyone else keep seeing cloak? I don't even need a C.
the c is in the corner, but no cloak
she meant, she doesn't need to find any more C words, but she keeps wanting to try cloak anyway
I was very confused by nan's statement
don't know how anyone would know that ro combo
nan took it as "i keep seeing cloak even without a C"
well, as i mentioned a few minutes ago, i just happened to see it in the title of a talk and it stuck in my head
sorry - thought you said I don't even see a c
haven't really wakened up yet
yesterday on the freebee website i managed to dig "zemstvo" out of my high school history memories to get that as a pangram for that bee! i was so proud of myself for that one
haven't really wakened up yet - maybe some breakfast would help!
excellent....
that site must use a different word list... ;o)
yeah they use like... idk... allll the words lol
it's sort of annoying because then you don't know if you're just not seeing the pangram, or if you're not seeing it because it's a word you don't even know in the first place
so a bigger dictionary has its drawbacks, too, i guess....
pretty sure I've never seen zemstvo in my life
same here...
what kind of history is that?
I play the bee at spellbee.org and spellingbeegame.org Where do you play hurshy?
I just got to great at the real bee yesterday and not doing so hot today
Zemstvo is Russian Tsar era.
happy thursday everyone
same to you, mool....
tx pen
Hey, mool
hey BB
speaking of word nerds, bea and moo have entered the chat 😜
Good to see you.
hi bea....
hurshy?
moo!
hey hoke :)
Even if I had seen zemstvo, it would never remain lodged in any memory bank
moo, let me save you some time, cloak is not here
oh, okay thnx
oh um, wordle2.io/spelling-bee and freebee.fun/play and spellingbeegame.org
It's a word nerd herd
I'm lucky to have remembered the word tsar from history
I got wordle in two today. Had all five letters at one.
i have to protest. i admit to being a word nerd, but the science words are nothing to do with us word nerds, they are the science nerds' fault
I got it in 3 but was just one letter off in 2nd guess
99 to go here
25 left here
hurshy's protest noted. but she's still a word nerd.
33 here...
She said she admits to that. Not sure about the science part.
I only know a few words in passing
I didn't realize that georgia okeeffe was spelled with two Fs
Who mentioned the word bdelloid?
I don't really get her argument, just noted it. just because science nerds came up with science words doesn't mean her remembering them isn't word nerdy.
HOET
I have fw.
woot congrats BB!
huzzah, bea!
still 25 here, but I'm eating lunch and chatting instead of trying words.
congrats, Bea...
Will see you all tomorrow, although it is a busy day...
bye bea
41 to go here

hi mool
hey nan, happy Thursday to you, how's the Tundra today?
melting!!!
frozen
ha
nice, melting here too after some unusually long snow on the ground
haven't seen ru or ori here lately -- anyone know how they are mmaking out with all the flooding in CA?
been a little over 2 weeks, which is unusual
ru was here this morning. ori's been here too, though I didn't see her today.
yes - unusual here as well --- between this year and last, I don't know how anyone can be a climate change disbeliever.
Ru said he's all good. He said Origami has been struggling with power outages.
ty for the update Molly
30 to go. that's it for me. hagd!

I'm guessing some sort of wrestling move, or maybe a protection device to stop someone stealing your hearing
ah, thanks
now just need 2 A's in that col
1 A, thought ae4 was a phantom
34 and stuck -- maybe some food will help
eekfeast - a halloween movie marathon
or maybe it's a tuft of hair that an old man has growing in his ea3.
enrue - to cause someone regret
I don't think food helped me at all
ooh i am the closest!
oh yeah, that's certainly possible
I may be the farthest from understanding what you're closest too
the meaning of the ea7
her def for ea7

treefeet - roots
Good one!
toefake - using your lower digits to deceive someone into thinking you're going a different direction

I have NEVER done that ;)

12 to go 3-2-3-3-1
I am stuck and need to work on my kitchen so I think I will too.
20 - 3-4-7-6. way too big word heavy. will prob have to list when I come back.
It's so cute, they even take their breaks together. 😊

*!*~*!*
rehi
what's the count, moo?
9 left
1-1-3-3-1
nice
R RRR FF KK F
I just got back, so mine is still the same
consistency is good
decided to list. 3 of my 4 t's were related ,and the 4th was an easy 4 I also missed yesterday.
the longer t's?
6/7/7
yeah, they took me longer than they should, because of the direction
I actually had the last one for some time, but the pair took longer
like I said earlier, too many e's
one of my R's ended the same
eeeeeexactleee
that's prob your R, sorry
oh, thunderstorm time here
no, have that one
nothing odd yet on the list. these are just hard to see.
found my last 4
2OFOET :)
found one of my 7s, thought I had it already, was a plural
was just about to ask you for a clue for one and then aha! I saw it
yw :)
found my f's
5 to go
8. can I beat you with the list?
well one F tile anyway, still have one on the right
probably
well, 2 of my f's were the same as 2 of my t's
well that helps
mine weren't :)
my other 2 from that F were alt sp
those were mine :)
I would've put $$ on that
struggling iwth the last F. will skip for now.
yeah, still have an F there
that's why I was afraid to ask. and I know the 3rd letter.
now that's all that's left
nm, it's a plural
RRR KK F for me
sorry, two R's
the k's could be anything, but 2 of my last were very similar to another set
yeah, have those
you finished the 4s?
yep
my last R is a normal word but very twisty
reekola - a really awful smelling lozenge
have you done the bee? I'm still on solid.
in amazing, but still 27 points short
only got to great yesterday. this is a tough bee week.
got genius yesterday, had a late burst
did not get the pangram
missed some long ones though
got that first, but not the other -ment words
oh, got tenement late
I think I missed all those
just got to nice on today's
got the imminent/eminent relatively late too
today I got the pangram early
perhaps first again
I typically try to get it first
I either see it right away or it pops out later
the other day I came back late and photography just jumped out. but I didn't get photog, that's stupid.
they've both been tricky tho
yesterday and today
oh, gotta look out, sounds like hail
ah, fun times
winston wants to sit in my lap
he's biggish no?
yes
every time it thunders he's all up in my business
that should work out swimmingly for all involved
he's about 60-65 lbs. no idea what that is in kg or stones.
found my last two r's
about 25kgs
2.2lbs to the kg
so guessing I'm looking for a 5/6 k combo and an f6
oh, cofefe is in the grid
also could be two k6's and an F5 :)
or unrelated K's
do you have one that's a brand of food in the US, like cheese?
f or k?
k
yes, it's also a type of paper
I just noticed that, seain
check your f's for one(s) who does
the 4th column f
have two one who does on that
I was missing a pl fi6
oh, yeah me too heh
so k5 and k6 to end this one
are you sure you have those I was talking about earlier? or the ones seain & I were just talking about?
the youghurt ones?
I have two sets where just one tile is different
one appears to be a grain, the other is the dairy product
ok, that is that one. how about the brown paper one/ food company one?
the limestone one?
a 5
the limestone one was one of my last but I'm talking about kr5/6
oh duh, that it was it
I hate k's
well done
me too
thx for the assistance
I don't trust karlas, for instance
no prob
finally got the pangram and genius if anyone's still here 🤣
nu?
on the bee, sorry.
not sure what nu? means
ah, I don't enjoy that one, that makes sense.
oh, from Yiddish, it's basically "what's that" sometimes a bit snarky, though not in this case, merely inquisitive
¿que?
evening all! so many K's
Seain, are you Jewish?
Oatee
Oarie
yes, sephardic
Ashkenazi here. My family usually used it in place of "come on already!" LOL
what is the exact pronunciation?
we would say something like nyoo for an exaggerated no
Ouner
that is more of a snarky one
Good morning all :)
hey lizlin
HI Carla - were you asking about the pronunciation of NU? Exactly as it looks but with whatever intonation fits the occasion. Often a question - as in So what or as Zadit said.
To rhyme with the beginning of noon - noo
yeah, was wondering if it was noo or nyoo
Definitely no y in it!
it's one of those useful little words which don't really mean anything or can mean whatever.
My grandparents used to use it.
how's the weather down there?
Really good here. It's been the best summer we've had in ages - so far! Still, it's storm season, so I'm sure that'll happen some time before summer ends.
stats for the lone r on the right?
Not the same everywhere in Aus though. There's been flooding in the NW and I've heard of bush fires too.
glad you're having a nice summer so far
re5/10, shirl
Thanks - hope you're winter isn't too hard this year.
*your - I hate random apostrophes.
we have been having a big thunderstorm all afternoon and are under tornado watch for 3 more hours. but only saw snow flurries at my mom's and have only had some cold cold weather here.
I heard there's flooding in California :(
finally NBT
And of course, we heard all about that really big freeze
yeah, I think that's what happens when you finally get rain after no rain forever
keef
Agree
oops
Fireworks - have a good day / evening everyone.
well done
you have a good day
eu6! I found the eu6!
Thanks dan, that was bothering me!
yw
Hi all. Any clues fo r the 8s or 7s? Ty
DC it is hard to explain Nu to anyone. It means “so give me the info†i guess but it is a great expression. All should adopt it. So DC, nu, wus machtsu?
Half way and no 7s or 8s yet. Hmmmmm.
Anyone here for clues?
ro8/40 take ro 4 and add slang for "for"
The third ro4
st8/60 He who runs naked !
Thanks!
there is a phantom referee in the grid!
hi, all. I do stop in once in a while. Enjoying the discourse on "nu?"
FW just in time
