just found sh8 but it may have been called when I was napping
yes it was
finally got half of the s's -- my last letter for HOET
yeah, the s is tough. I still need 9.
just found an sh 6 that I didn't think would be a word because there is an actor/chess master with that surname ( or was)
well, I am down to 26 but falling asleep again. good night!
late flip and my first words are fa7/8 so I think I'll just stop
you are way ahead of me, but also heading out. Good night everyone :)
wd freep
Good morning.
hello all
Hi aslindy
you were here early
I woke up at 5 so had an early start to my day.
When an alarm looms 45 minutes away it is best to get up.
indeed
I need to get ready for work. Enjoy the day.
you too!
morning all
hi kiani
how's it going?
it's going
Name that character! Last name of the main character on Burn Notice
Weston
ding ding! yes indeed
7 left. a struggle.
and done
have a good day
no mention of Sam Axe in the grid too?
I thought that was weird.
morning! top row grey!
21 left here but no rows gray, just 2nd col
there's an awful lot of re- that aren't words
I still need 1 T in the 4th col
probably the 6/21
probably since I don't see one. TO?
yeah
ty
I needed that too...thx!
is this a real word?
np
nm
top row gray! :D
huzzah!
20 left - 1-6-7-5-1
are the 7 As hard? i have four, dunno if there's just really weird ones or what
I have 5
there are 2 A + other words
ok i think i need those
and I just remembered a babblet, so now I just need 1 there
I have 4 A+other words
Actually 5. And one with a double vowel.
I don't see ahorse, so that's not the culprit today
i suppose it depends what you count as a + word
yeah, was just thinking the same. not sure champ's criteria vs. mine.
like, is it like "ahorse" or is it just like ah5/14 too
One is iffy, but the other 4...
well i got two af5s
btw, the babblet i just found is a + my last 4 letter word
so that's better
so now 0-4-6-5-1
oh, guess my last one is ah5/14?
oh geez
15 left!
Yes
fezzik, are there rocks ah5? :D
11 left here
1-2-6-1-1
RR S6 D HH R F TT
let's compare 8s
i have: fa, he, sh
Fi
I don't have HE
There's also an Fi
is the fi a compound?
thought for sure I had it with headwear
the fi is one who does
aHA!
yeah i had thought i had 2 he8 when i saw that hokie
but you're half right
aha, like in a car
Done! last word was re621.
well done!
from which R?
i have 3 of those
one weird of the 3
oh, I only have 1, from the bottom R
but we have it sometimes here
4th column
you have re6, I married him, i suppose
It's a word I've seen but don't know. Maybe I'll remember it next time.
there's took another photo, and there's the spanishy looking babblet
Have a great day everyone!
did not have the photo one. I only had the person who does things with books.will have to think about the spanishy looking one.
bye champ!
not sure at all what the married him clue is
again
I have re5/20, no idea how that would make into a re6/21
do you have the mended again?
that's 6.30
yes, but I thought I was looking for re6/21s
I need 1 R from each. are there 3 re6/21 or 4?
it is the one hursh said looked spanish ends in vowel
guess what, chat was confusing 🤣
Chat is often confusing. Too many people talking at once.
finally remembered what I wanted to look for for that one and looked from the correct R. now just one R on the top.
0-3-4-5
ooh, found a 7
the married him clue was the re6/21 you already had. last chapter of Jane Eyre, she says, "Re6, I married him." best known direct address of author to audience in literature
Of course if you have never read Jane Eyre, that one goes right over your head
Who hasn't read Jane Eyre.
yeah it's a great book.
Stephen King refers to his fans as constant re6s and addresses them that way in a lot of his books. A lot of people haven't read Jane Eyre.
yeah, I still don't get the jane eyre thing
The character is speaking to the person enjoying the book, the re6
ah, thanks for explaining that
Did you get the Tom Petty re6?
ah, i've never read Stephen King - i have enough nightmares as it is, lol
not sure about the tom petty one
oh yeah, i did
I don't know if that is what was referred to as "Spanishy" or not
I haven't read Jane Eyre
yes, I think those 2 are the same
ooh, found another 7
Are you going to ooh every time you get a 7? 😊
and a 6 to gray last col
0-3-3-3
Maybe you should change things up and aah next time.
I'm sure someone would send me to the PB for that
R S6 H F this S is crazy
i just finished a book in which a character dies of a broken heart. i want to know how that works.
The PB is a thing of the past. People love grid words in the chat now.
I just want to be a finisher of today's grid
i don't love grid words in the chat...
I want to know why people believe that Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives were the only people on the Ark and the new world was not reborn without inbreeding.
if you don't call attention to it, it gives nothing away. but when someone says, "ooh, PB for you", it gives it all away.
where did that come from, molly?
lol was wondering the same
I watched the movie last weekend.
i didn't know they had video cameras back then!
Yep, and Noah looks strangely like Russell Crowe.
ðŸ˜
that's where good to Noah you came from molly
found an S finally
and another
ooh ahh (for molly)
too bad hotties isn't my last H
oh, found it. TIHT
6 left now -0-2-2-2 R SSSS F TTFN
I keep waiting for the day when it's IDDONTTGIVEASHHHITT
😊😊😊
haha ru
Watch out for the peed on Wheaties people Ru
haha Molly
NIce, Molly.
and a good morning to all
I think that is just "person".
I always heard the saying with cheerios
Hi Just bopped in. Molly, Noah's three sons were married, so no inbreeding there. And according to the Bible, first cousins isn't considered inbreeding, so the sons' kids could have populated the world. I know a number of married first cousins couples. It isn't even frowned upon in Judaism.
And I didn't feel like my comment warranted a pissy response.
Was I being pissy? I didn't mean to be!!!!
No, pg. I'm sorry. I wasn't referring to you.
i just came in, just looked like your stating your position.
good morning.
good morning all
if you meant me, it was a simple hopefully cheerful "good morning"
why is everyone so touchy? did something happen today?
Lol, I didn't see anything happen nor anyone being pissy. this is like one of the calmest chats ever.
well, ruru was being pissy about my acronyms, but that's normal.
gm Hokie!
oh okay. i just stopped in to try to distract from eating before lunchtime
a bit too chilly for my taste to walk.saving that for later.
hello dolly!
already 59 here but I will wait til this afternoon to walk too.
carla was just waiting to say that
hit 60 here yesterday, but today's a diff story
yes last two days seems as if the grids were endless
I wasn't being pissy hokie.. just crackin' a joke
I took it as such
a joke
good.. i have to give a bunch of crap about acronyms :D
yeah, and I obviously don't care, I'll keep using them. 😜
ha!
time to work. later and happy babbling all
have a fun day!
bye
hints for the upper i or bottom N?
in 7/32
na 5/10
TY!
hey all
hello!
hey car!
HOW is rewear NOT in Enable? I mean..come on now!
I know! there are so many re- words today that enable doesn't like
morning all
hey there
fairly quick today
moo!
mael with a quickie! still 6 left here. 0-2-2-2 R SSSS F
hey hoke, how's stuff today?
54-37-16-7-4 here :)
ok, just had a conf call with my bros and the therapists/nurses/etc. I think things are going okay.
that's good....how about you, how you doing?
well, you need to catch up so you can help me with these last 6.
trying :)
I'm glad things are heading in the right direction, hokie
pretty good, thanks. feeling better at my own house with husband and dog but then feeling guilty about not being there.
thanks, mael
10 left for me, maybe we can collaborate :)
yeah, though hard to be useful if you're not taking care of yourself too
oh, I thought you finished
nah, not yet But it's been easy going so far
true.
clue please for DE 6/21?
well, mael...you can see what I have at 11:37
collab? haha, that's what people say on instagram
it's a dry place, car
5 left, all Rs for me
and btw, I found that one just trying it for the heck of it and then it took like 5 min to figure out how it's actually in the grid.
<gak> ty
84 to go
still 6 but I haven't looked again
63....
found half back later thanks for the hints
I don't know why this S is so hard today
hey soph
seriously
that's what I'm on right now
S is a lot of nonsense s5s that we get often
just throw some consonants on there
FW!
congrats!
still 53 to go
huzzah
you might say you are finito
I tried that
but alas they just take the french
I tried it more than once
i just tried it again since I still have an F there
yeah, but already had that unfortunately
do you have the f5/16?
yes
oh
but my last was a 6, most fr4/7,
talking to hoke
the one I think you are calling french? I have that
that was it, thx, mael
oh nevermind, I thought it was from the french but it's from latin. The more you know!
mine was the most fr4
yeah, it climbs all the way up thre
now 1 R and 4 S
shir
shirn
should I complain about rearest? or will someone tell me that's rearmost?
sorry....
I think you left me behind
i complained to myself already...
well moo, I've been playing since 1am last night
36 to go :)
there's a re5/12 that sounds like the car
yes, I'm at the bottom
I'm such a bum
that's my R, good guess and thanks, mael
15-3-9-4-3
now just these stupid 4 s's and I can beat moo
beat me beat me, make me feel cheap
lol
turns out one of my S's was the car that rhymes with the R I just found. gee, I'm slow.
0-0-1-2. so an S6 and 2 S7. what could go wrong?
5OFOET
sexfan - I'm sure you all can come up with a def
a gendered cooling device
well that went a different direction
4OFOET
3OFOET or 3.00 WPT
2.00 WPT
11-2-6-3-2
s**twear - clothes you only wear around the house
and sorry pen, forgot to greet you. PEN!
oh hey pen, too busy amusing myself
found one S7
superb
superbs I guess
your 7s might be comparatives
the one I just found was a PT of what I thought was a noun
did you use your mouse to find it?
yep
well at least you tamed that s
anyone else try shitton? I know a lot of people that use it, though I guess they make 2 words.
firehot - obvious
early caveman
are you saying a shitton of people use shitton?
yes
one wonders how a shitton would compare to a US ton
I wonder if it's like nautical miles vs miles
or a metric ton. that's a thing, right?
metric tonne
although I suspect there are people in the US that would use metric ton
a metric tonne would be 2200 lbs
what a US ton is I have no idea....5000 lbs?
yeah, F those extra letters!
I also have no idea
or it's probably one of those weird numbers like 3842
because yeah....logic of imperial measurements
turns out it's 2000 lbs
I used to know all the ones I needed to for cooking but now I just ask Alexa to double check so I don't need to know anymore
I kinda know them, but growing up with metric, it's still a bit confusing
like if I wanted to know how many feet in a mile, I'd actually figure how many feet are in 1.6km to figure out approximately what it was
I've really been getting my NZ accent down with my Les Mills workouts. ðŸ˜
choice
still 21
10-2-5-2-2
yeah, I have to do conversions if I see something in metric so I know what it looks like, and I use my knowledge of running races to do the maths, like 5Ks, 10Ks, and 8Ks.
heh
found some words
thought for a second maybe seaweed was there
can't kelp yourself can you
earnoise doesn't work...in case you wondered
I'd love to continue the pun thread but kelp is probably the extent of my knowledge of seaweed
yeah, I would have to branch into Japanese from there
and nori isn't really seaweed, it's an algae
and I don't think I can pun wakame
firesit - to watch over someone else's campfire
7-2-5-1-1
T R SSSS E HHH A A RR F F
I know you're not a tv watcher, moo, but anyone else here with Netflix, I highly recommend Cunk on Earth. hilarious.
I do have Netflix, not that I get to watch it
well, it's a british history mockumentary
oh, sounds interesting
you would like it, last episode I saw she was in Greece
found a word!
1.5 WPT
found my last 7!
Seaweed is a kind of algae
and she interviews actual professors and experts with ridiculous questions and somehow they answer with straight faces, albeit some confused looks. those interviews are almost too awkward for me, stuff like that doesn't usually make me uncomfortable but this does. 🤣
oh, look who's nerding it up today
oh, sounds like this reels person I just came across
yep, it's her
funny
ok, I have 2 SH7. is my last 7 also SH or S something else?
I saw a reel of her doing the Model T Ford
the s7 is not sh
yeah, I know she has done other stuff before this
yeah, she did it like one of those car shows
was pretty funny
ok, what is the 2nd letter? P&TY
st
hmm, ok
ooh, another word
5's complete
6-0-5-0-1
is this ST7 a regular word?
oh geez
thought I had that
ok, S6 left
yeah, it happens
11 to go
see, you can still catch me
probably not
or more probably....definitely not :)
10
well, unless someone comes in and tells me what I need, I'm not seeing it
quite possible I'm missing it too
top S or bottom S, hokie?
4-0-5-0-1 And 3 are S
never mind, there is just one S
I just see one S, is that my problem? 🤣
one who sh4/9s, maybe?
so it's a trick....it's the top S....AND the bottom S
so the correct response would either be yes...or neither
anyhoo, it's not that one.
or the law enforcement with only one consonant, or the same word with a different first vowel?
9
I have 5 sh6
I don't
ah, it was omar, thx
there are 5 total, you got those then
oh no, there's6!
or the bundle of hay sh 5
so you are missing an SH, the dress?
finito!
yay!
woot!
see first 12:30 post
congrats!
didn't realize you all thought I was still playing 😜
thanks
oh, now I understand your clue
yeah, I don't even remember how his last name is spelled, but it makes me think of him
that way I believe
there's velveeta in the bee today
still 8 to go
you can do it
not sure I have the energy to do it, to be honest
what's the count left?
you've finished the 7s
3-0-4-0-1
did it break you mentally when I beat you? 🤣
yeah, I am devastated
I haven't eaten or drank anything since you won
have been unable to sleep in the last 6 minutes
I'm a mess
do you have 2 Fs left? or perhaps an H?
sounds like it
one F, on the right
I hope you can recover and do all those things
life is hopeless
do you wish you could be a F8 like me?
convinced yet?
this takes a lot of energy
I have that one :)
darn
R SS HH A R F
ok, so you do have an H
yes....I do
I meant H left
and now I don't
well I have 1 H left
but no 8s left
aha
thinking the F is maybe a 4
f***
the H might be a 4 too
h***
people are going to think that I'm cursing
a shitton of people?
found my a
a crapload of them for sure
the 4s aren't really hard today so you should be able to get those
yeah, that's half the battle...literally in this case
alright, winston is whining, so I'm going to walk him. good luck! will check in for an update later.
okay, enjoy!
so interesting morning this morning my daughter in law has ms and they thought it was under control as no seizures in about a year, she had one this morning driving my grandson to school, thankfully they are both ok
Oh, cherlyq! That's frightening! I'm glad they are safe.
oh, crap! that's rather a rude awakening, so sorry to hear but glad they're ok.
Yeah me too, she was frightened and shaken but they did a cat scan and said she is ok
Connell just thinks he got a day off of school
lol! a day off is not necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure she's a bit freaked, just when you think things are going on an even playing field someone yanks the rug on you... or, in Charlie Brown's case, Lucy pulls the football away.
yeah she is going to go home and get some rest now she said ( well my son said as she is not driving right now lol)
hello all
help with top i please I think it is in7
hey, pero
peri
and I found it :-)
I always wait a few seconds before giving peri a clue, because she usually gets it! lol. I wish I had that talent.
I looked for it a long time earlier. just got back and voila!
but I do not have or seehe8 or sh8
I just started, so have none of those.
I have fa8 and fi8
Well, if you're offering clues, I'll take them off your hands please!
fa7/8 are compound words
fi8 is what your are when you have completed the grid
ah, got it! Thanks, peri!
did you get them all?
still working on those compounds, but thanks!
yw

10 left
still 1 :)
go moo & sophie!
heh
I am stuck on the two fa7's, any help please?
there is just one - some people do a big fa7 when others announce they've finished
OH only one fa7/52, I presume the 8 is a pl
yes
it's a compound word
yes, what cooling devices eat
I have on the wrong glasses and thought that said cooking and was very confused
well this last word is being stubborn
Good clue Carla
what have you got, moo?
r6
I thought so to and all really good clues but I am still lost
oh, my last R was a 6, so it's prob that
bottom r
actually yours is prob the one molly called the tom petty one
actually that may have been my last one. I can't remember now and had a couple R6.
really?
interesting that R6 is a color. never have I ever heard of that.
well that narrows it down, I'll do a search of colours you haven't heard of :)
well, I know a lot. I had my share of Crayola 64 boxes with the crayon sharpener.
I don't think it's Bastard-Amber
apparently puke is a colour too
falu and zaffre are colours as well apparently
do you know any tom petty songs?
just know that she's a good girl
don't come around here no more
she's crazy about elvis?
not that one
oh, that one
then no
but where does she live
it's okay, I don't really mind
I am so sorry but I am still stuck on the fa7?
well if we announce it, then it should be accompanied by a lot of fa7
I'm actually having some fun looking up weird colour names
for instance rare sausage
okay, the good girl loves her mama and elvis and lives in a town in california
probably pretty expensive then
Finally got it thanks all
let the fa7 begin!
yay!
oh...found my last word
was it a weird color?
huzzah!
no idea
I kind of got distracted with the colors
it does appear to be a colour
Drunk-tank pink is another good one
if you lean more towards the older ones, then Caput Mortuum - when means dead head
ooh....Goose turd green
canada goose?
that sounds like it matches the definition
well it was coined in the 1500s, so more likely a european goose
Banan-appeal
Elephant's breath
hawaiian goose?
the def link did make it sound british, which might explain why I've never heard of it
apparently crayola had goose turn green crayons too
with the r word?
oh, well the r word sounds spanish
to me at least
says latin...
well, that's what hurshy said this morning and I almost told you that, but I liked molly's tom petty clue and my unknown color. that was like your kind of vague, subtle clue. 🤣
neither would have helped unfortunately
As it turned out I just kind of stumbled on it
I figured you would say you've lived there
no, not familiar with any towns of that name I'm afraid
Carla, my laugh of the day was you throwing out the Tom Petty clue. Might as well have been cluing Nan.
looks like it's in LA, which one of my least favorite places
I only know it from the tom petty song 🤣
have been within a few miles of it, it would seem
well, I know moo grew up in a galaxy far, far away, but surely he's heard tom petty since living here. he did know the elvis part.
I believe I once had that album
freefalling is the song no?
see? he's not completely pop culture clueless like nan.
yes
know some of the lyrics, but didn't know that was in there unfort
well, I should go do something useful
we have some south african neighbors and they had some friends or family in town and someone said the guy looked like James Taylor, and I sang too many songs trying to get them to figure out who he is. I guess my point is other countries don't know all our music. ðŸ˜
yeah, James Taylor didn't travel as much outside North America in terms of songs
yeah, I'm going to rip out a waistband and add elastic to it.
think my dad had a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album tho
I don't even like James Taylor but he's hard to escape in NC
yeah, a bit blah
well, enjoy your waistband...and thanks for the assistance
no prob. good night, y'all.
hello everyone - finally made it back, a busy but productive day
hi nan. working on last 17 here.
31 here and thinking about listing -- would like to find my 2 missing 7's first though
gonna list soon. making no progress
just read the chog -- no idea what all the tom petty, elvis and free fallin chat was about
anyone having any issues with their antivrius and babble or lickety?
not today
tom petty wrote and performed a song called "free fallin'"
but were they clues for a word in the grid?
idk
the tom petty thing is a clue... first line of freefalling talks about a city in CA...
oh yeah - had that word already :)
first 2 letters?
hey nrk
