The easiest way to clue it is look up ribbon worm and add N at the end

antman no good - ha ha ha

5:09 am

Thank You Molly

5:12 am

thanks Molly

Hoffman movie not accepted - super grid tho!

6:02 am

hello all

6:08 am

hi aslindy, big grid today

6:08 am

sure is. yet I'm slow to find words for the right column

6:09 am

first word I saw was british slang, not accepted

6:09 am

same here!

6:09 am

I still don't know the other w

6:10 am

how are you today?

6:10 am

pretty well thanks, and you?

6:11 am

the other w is wa 4/9

6:11 am

doing ok. colorful. broken toe has a lot of bruising.

6:11 am

thanks for the clue, I monkeyed it

6:12 am

broken toe? That must be so painful, hope it gets better soon

6:13 am

yes. I did go to urgent care the day it happened, and got a fracture shoe. that really helps to not keep hurting it.

6:14 am

still, one of my dogs manages to step on that foot pretty much every day

6:14 am

they have come along way from plaster casts, for sure.

6:14 am

oh no! why does that always happen?!

6:14 am

indeed. or just taping it to another toe. seriously, how would that help.

6:16 am

heh. probably for the same reason I have kicked several things with that same foot since then, too. thankfully, the shoe is protecting me from my own clumsiness, at least.

6:17 am

when do you think it will be better?

6:17 am

they said 4 - 6 weeks. it's been 5 days so far.

6:18 am

at least it's winter...good luck with it

6:18 am

thank you

6:20 am

phantom: ointment

6:46 am

hey, I found the 10/11 !

6:54 am

BIG grid!

I found th4. TY.

7:32 am

ty lindy I'll have a look!

7:33 am

is that a real word??!!

7:33 am

yes, I'd say so

7:34 am

Which toe did you break, aslindy?

7:34 am

I say enable takes liberties with those two letters on the end of words.

7:34 am

left foot little toe

7:34 am

The one that catches on furniture so easily.

7:35 am

went to change from slippers to shoes, took off slippers, turned around and kicked a step

7:35 am

I was excited to be able to take my dogs for a walk for the first time in weeks. then, not. :(

7:35 am

Ouch. Big ouch. Was it dislocated?

7:36 am

thankfully, no

7:36 am

Good.

7:38 am

DO you have any of the far right A's?

7:39 am

just one

7:39 am

am5,12

7:40 am

Got it, TY.

7:41 am

I have 2 am5/12s

7:41 am

Only one is from that A.

7:41 am

yep. the other starts with the other A

7:42 am

just finished all the Ts

7:43 am

That's a lot.

7:43 am

yes. after going through all the grid, I'm listing

8:12 am

finnaly finally finished, that was a grind

8:13 am

when did you start?

8:13 am

about three hours ago, off and on

8:13 am

guess you got up early

8:14 am

couldn't sleep

8:14 am

ah, sorry to hear that

8:15 am

it's chronic and I am used to it now

8:15 am

In fact I really enjoy the quiet of early morning

8:15 am

that's good

8:16 am

anyway, see you all tomorrow and hope your day goes well

8:16 am

same to you

8:27 am

woot woot! found the 11

8:27 am

Then you should have a 10 as well.

8:27 am

yes, i do

well, I found a 9 so I've got that going for me

8:31 am

i have one of those also! :D

that was assumed

8:32 am

but you can't assume these things. you know how weird this game is, how sometimes we miss obvious things, etc

the assumption is, if I have found one then you certainly have

8:33 am

Then there is that whole ass out of u + me thing 😊

8:33 am

well, it might be true a lot of the time, but not EVERY time, owing to the weirdness

8:35 am

Hi all. I am missing the E’s for the second column E. Any clues or stats? Ty

8:46 am

i only tried it once

8:48 am

so far

8:48 am

lol

8:49 am

I know, I don't get continuing to try a word you know is not there.

8:49 am

me either... yet there I am.

8:49 am

it's like pushing the elevator button more than once

8:50 am

usually because I'm not sure I spelled it right the first time I tried it

8:50 am

you know it won't do anything, but it's a gesture against the frustration of impotence

8:51 am

opie, hearing sirens: don't they know i'm trying to nap?

8:52 am

Don't look now but Hurshy is having some kind of Mayberry hallucination.

8:52 am

8:59 am

I thought the act of repeating oneself when things don't work is a step towards insanity :D

9:00 am

it's also a good way to break things

9:00 am

That is what Einstein said 😊

rehi - found the 10/11!

9:01 am

How many times have you seen someone post "I know ____ isn't a word but I try it every time"?

9:01 am

yay, good job hokie!

are we talking about ramen?

just had to hide for a few min 😜

9:01 am

I have to plead guilty to that mostly because it's close to another babblet I know

9:01 am

9:02 am

9:03 am

ar10/77

9:03 am

wellll that's a silly word!

9:03 am

oh.. thank you molly

I have found all kinds of words and UK spellings today that usually stump me and still have a lot left on those tiles. that means there are a lot of words.

9:04 am

nevermind, it's just Scots, not silly, lol

hmm, I thought about that word being longer but didn't think to try that, thx.

9:04 am

got it.. thanks molly

9:05 am

well, while we're talking about long ones, what's the other 9 besides re9?

9:05 am

ne9

9:06 am

weird or normal?

9:06 am

it's the phyla of a disgusting worm

9:06 am

Very weird

so...weird

9:07 am

oh, bother

9:07 am

Phyla? Ooo, you get in on the exotic word users conversation.

9:08 am

all that college studying had to go towards something in my brain

9:09 am

By the way, I would like to publicly thank the 49

9:11 am

I wish hursh.. that's why I admire Atalante's work

9:11 am

9:11 am

She's doing Seinfeld lines

I almost did my seinfeld line before she did but thought it might be lost on this crowd 🤣

9:12 am

Could be worse, could be Friends lines.

9:13 am

I am a seinfeld fan. Wouldnt be lost.

9:14 am

I thought all of america was but am finding here that people don't/didn't watch tv like me. 😁

thanks ruru, my last N there. and I always miss that.

9:15 am

I never got into Seinfeld.

9:15 am

i had a prof who really loved seinfeld and i worked for him one summer. one of my jobs was cataloging everything that happened in each episode so that he could easily find clips he wanted to show in class.

what class?

9:16 am

ty for that one ruru, had missed it despite having both components.

9:16 am

9:33 am

9:33 am

I have 160 left. Need to start laundry. Toodles.

He gets tied up a lot

9:38 am

Tether or not you enjoy them, Ru

9:38 am

well, well, well, he beat me to it

molly boldly using a big PB word

just realized the fish was my last lower T

9:39 am

'To bind or knot to bind, that is the question'

9:39 am

get th4 to a punnery and a PB

9:39 am

No one acknowledges the PB thing anymore

9:40 am

I go willingly, but I'm a hockey fan

9:40 am

A punnery might take me, a nunnery, never

9:40 am

I'm pretty sure I'd go up in flames if I darkened the doors of a nunnery

9:41 am

Trying to Imagine Sister Molly

sometimes my house is neatish.

9:44 am

I haven't found any -ish words at all, sad

9:45 am

Trying real hard, but I am not seeing neatish

I can't remember if I did or not, sad

9:45 am

i haven't found any either

molly always swooping in with grid facts

9:46 am

whoa....another big one....hello all....

9:46 am

Not me, I have never swooped in my life

phantom neatish

9:46 am

one of my fave expressionist artists is in the grid

pen!

9:46 am

manet is a treasure

9:46 am

carla!

9:46 am

I almost did that as a Name That Proper Noun but figured no one would know it

9:46 am

indeed :)

I almost guessed manet but then was like, is that right, there's manet and monet? I think I learned that here.

9:47 am

yes there's Edouard Manet and Claude Monet

9:48 am

the fact that there's a manet and a monet is in fact very confusing, given that they're both impressionists

9:48 am

Monet's house and garden in Giverny is so lovely. One of my favorite places that I've visited.

9:48 am

Monet is the waterlilies, for reference :)

9:48 am

that's pretty much where the similarity ends, though - so very different

9:49 am

Manet generally uses a lot of black and dark colors

9:49 am

i used to cut school and go to moma to stare at the waterlilies

9:49 am

I prefer Manet, personally

9:49 am

I go every time I'm in NYC!

9:50 am

me too (my all time favorite is cassatt)

9:50 am

you should go L'Orangerie in Paris then

welki was ferris?

9:50 am

they have these big long waterlilies in an oval room

9:50 am

but there's a lot of Monet's works at the Boston MFA too

9:50 am

still am, hokie

pretty sure I just saw a Monet at the Biltmore Estate

9:51 am

I love Cassatt!

sorry, there are 2 at biltmore

phantom remnant

9:55 am

phantom emanate

yes, tried that in like a million spellings until I looked up the actual one

9:56 am

When did the Biltmore spa drop manicures/pedicures? I know I sent my sister there for a pedicure some years back.

I'm not sure. I didn't know they had. That was in the inn, right?

I'm guessing during covid and then never added back.

but they are still doing other spa stuff?

9:59 am

The spa at the Biltmore is only showing massage and skin care. Nail care is now at The Spa at Biltmore Village.

ah, I do remember seeing that at the village this last time and thought it was new. I guess they moved it there then.

10:10 am

well, I am stuck with 44 left. 6-7-12-9-7-1 2nd row has the biggest problem tiles. think I will take a break. good luck.

10:14 am

12:19 pm

I wish our club would build indoor courts

12:20 pm

there are 2 hard courts that they moved the clinics to, so they were dry.

12:20 pm

the one day I finally see manatee in the grid and it's not there

12:21 pm

:)

12:21 pm

i feel very fortunate since my area is so small....our facility was built by five families who wanted area kids to have a place for exercise all year long....tennis courts, ice rink, and gym areas....they turned it into a nonprofit ten years later...

12:21 pm

wow, that's cool

12:21 pm

yes, it was a great thing to do...

12:22 pm

Those are some seriously wealthy families

12:22 pm

hi all no snow here. just gray and rainy

12:22 pm

yes, they were well-to-do.....they are still around....one lady plays in my tennis group on Tuesdays....

12:22 pm

hi peri...

12:23 pm

this area does have some people with money....two different couples recently donated $7500 each to have a court resurfaced....

12:24 pm

yes, I was thinking how I'm from a small town and that would never happen 🤣

12:24 pm

well i live in the largest town in my county....about 7500 people....

12:26 pm

yeah, mine's about 1300, and the town next to us where I went to high school is about 2000. there was like one rich coal family and some others we thought were rich, but they were prob just appalachian rich and nowhere near maine rich.

12:27 pm

if i could move an i , I could spell arthritis....

12:27 pm

if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, it'd be christmas all year long

12:27 pm

there is no such thing as Maine rich....most of the people in this state who are rich come from away... ;o)

12:28 pm

new england rich

12:28 pm

yes, there are those for sure...

it's a book, Molly :)

12:47 pm

well i am taking a break....bbl to find my last 59....bye all....

12:48 pm

Oh, never heard of the author

12:49 pm

really? she's quite famous, I'd think

12:49 pm

What does she write?

12:50 pm

I guess you could call it speculative fiction, she's been writing since the 60s

12:50 pm

What is speculative fiction? Fantasy?

12:50 pm

The Left Hand of Darkness? The Dispossessed? The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas?

12:51 pm

she died a few years ago

12:52 pm

no, fantasy is fantasy. Speculative fiction, if anything, is closer to sci fi. But The Handmaid's Tale is speculative fiction for example

12:53 pm

I just looked her up. I don't read the kind of books she wrote. Hence my say what? 😊

12:54 pm

they're very much worth a read for everyone, I'd think

12:54 pm

but I guess there are very few genres I don't read in toto

I've heard of her but never read any

1:21 pm

Meat

1:21 pm

Fun trivia for today...1) A club sandwich is an acronym (Chicken, Lettuce Under Bacon). 2) The word “facetious” includes every vowel in alphabetical order.

HOET is half on every tile

I don't use it a lot because I have to think about it a lot before typing. 🤣

3:08 pm

Carla, did you get all your quilts done for Christmas?

was just doing the one t-shirt quilt and was trying to get it done before the oldest's graduation in mid-Dec. finished it last week. I need to put a pic on my insta.

just started a big poppins bag this afternoon

3:14 pm

I've seen those bags.

3:15 pm

I've finished for the day. See you tomorrow.

I'm making it for my bike gear but I got the giant one which apparently can hold a sewing machine. I probably could've done with the large.

bye,bea! well done.

5:36 pm

i have no idea.....i was just illustrating how arbitrary enable is....

5:37 pm

aah, gotcha

5:37 pm

as long as I'm on a grumble... it won't take wank either

5:38 pm

5:38 pm

And it will take the "N" word, but not "negro"

5:38 pm

People seem really annoyed that it won't take wank

5:44 pm

6:47 pm

6:48 pm

that sounds like a big tiring trip

6:48 pm

how long was the whole trip

6:48 pm

i was gone almost six weeks....the 12 days in Hawaii were quite relaxing....

6:49 pm

very cool

6:50 pm

it was a great trip...in the days when you had to get invited to visit China unless you were a diplomat or a business man with a visa.....i helped chaperone a college group....

well, I was alive in 1981, so not really before my time. that sounds cool.

6:51 pm

6:59 pm

googling gets it quickly....

6:59 pm

listing was pretty painless today....

yeah, but then I had to see all those pictures

7:00 pm

yes, a downside for sure...

already stuck on am7/8

7:03 pm

well currently, I can't imagine what it could be :)

7:06 pm

well ducking out again...good luck

stuck again already. there's a reason I couldn't find these without the list.

not sure how pen said it was painless

7:24 pm

It may depend on how long you've been playing Babble. There are a lot of strange words that you get used to seeing after a while.

7:30 pm

72 left

7:30 pm

hi all

hey peri and gillie. I have looked up a few that I haven't seen. now down to 5 T's. I got distracted elsewhere.

ok, the t's weren't anything I haven

haven't seen before, just couldn't see them all day today

7:39 pm

36 left. will keep plugging along

7:39 pm

list is helping

7:56 pm

I have the ne9. What is the other 9?stats or clues?

I think it was a plural but I can't see it in my list, hold on.

re8/9. can give easy clue if you want.

7:59 pm

Also, i know the stats for the bottom row i, but i can’t seem to monkey it. Clues? I have one that mean a thing.

8:00 pm

I will take it carla. I am tired. Lol

hokie, I'd love that re 8/9 clue!

things kids wear after they're finished with braces

wow, thanks!!

8:01 pm

I cpuldn’t see how that worked until you said it. Now it is plain as day.

the i is e6 that or this. or something will w6 away to nothing. last 5 letters of those words is the it5.

8:02 pm

Thx for all 3 carla!

8:03 pm

and done, good night all

well, I'm glad you got the last one since I couldn't figure out how to do it 🤣

well done, peri

8:03 pm

Now for the a’s in the lat column. Just not seeing them…. Or the n’s there for that matter. 😔

the 6 a's has a couple of sets of babblets

one is "gets closer"

8:06 pm

Okay. I’ll keep searching.

8:06 pm

Those are the pnly ones i do have!

there's one (am5) that is similar to what they call a test for pregnant women

lol, was watching Aus Open and just looked up and suddenly the court was really shiny. where'd the rain come from?

8:09 pm

Am 6/21 is the fluid in the womb

8:10 pm

Thx, nef

8:12 pm

if one can be "mawkish" then what is a "mawk" ???

8:13 pm

It's as puzzling as why "tinker" exists, but "tink" does not.

8:15 pm

had enough of this grid. bye!

8:20 pm

I’ve been working on & off on this grid today between other activities. I’m aiming for going half way now & have just 6 more words to reach that point.

10:45 pm

for 6 years now i've been dealing with the fact that unlike so many verb/noun combos that go walk/walker, read/reader, teach/teacher, etc, we have pester as the verb and pest as the noun. i've decided to simply ditch the word "pester" altogether and use pest for both noun and verb.

10:46 pm

(i use it every day because my cat Fritz is a PEST and i have to remind him of his first commandment, 'thou shalt not pest thy sister')

10:48 pm

aman t

10:49 pm
