hi all, multitasking
Hi Gwen.
test
hello all
Hi aslindy
I passed halfway and must get to work. Enjoy the day.
you too!
good morning all. help with top row E please
hi all
ef 7 and 8
ty just found them in my scrabble dictionary. new words for me
Turkish title of respect
hi kiani, peri, pabtrek
It's words like that that make me grumpy about these grids
because they are not english words?
I don't mind words that are not English as long as they have some common knowledge base with people who speak English. There is no rhyme or reason to the foreign words Enable "accepts". It takes merde, shit in French, but not the more commonly known merci, thank you.
it also doesn't take shite, which is a hell of a lot more common than merde
but the ef words are literary and were in use when the dictionary enable picked was compiled
yeah, it doesn't make much sense
which was what feels like eons ago, hah
enable is NOT a dictionary; it is a selective word LIST. That,s the frustrating difference!
What book was the ef word used in?
it wasn't a list selected from a specific dictionary? today I learned
I mean, I knew the ef words.
but I read a lot of older novels as a kid :)
The ef words are fairly commom, came across them in reading, same as mael
and this is not to say that I know most of the strange words enable selects, but ef7 was definitely one I know independently of babble
I must have the low-rent reading list then. Never seen those words before.
I am reading a series about an Egyptologist, those ef words have been used a few times
I don't think it's low-rent reading at all, Molly. You just maybe weren't into Victorian travelogues or historical novels or the like. Fantasy grabbed the word too.
but that does not counter the point that Enable is full of incredibly obscure or obsolete terms :)
clue for mi8 please? either one
I mean, mi8,60
hadn't made it down there yet, looking!
Use the incorrect prefex and attach it to "dictionaries and encyclopedias are _____ence books.
Now that is a dumb word
thanks molly!
thank you molly
that has the same beginning and ending of the other mi8,60
that also got me a mi8/50 and a di8/50
is the mi8.60 a weirdo or normal word? It is my last one and I am blind to it..ty for any hints in the right direction
ask and ye shall see.. found it. fw
Both mi8/60 are weird, in my opinion
Funny that you had one and not the other
must scoot.. Happy Babbling to all!
bye aloy!
I don't have the second mi8/60 either, it's my last 8. Hmmm
Super similar to the first one...
I have neither ;)
thanks champ! moving some letters around...
aha! was looking in the whole wrong place, thank you
I also have neither. in fact, I have no 8's.
FW!
nice
there's an ar8/9 combo, di8 x2, ef8, fa8, fi8, mi8 x4, and mo8
so far, the grid is much nicer than yesterday's
I need a hint for the ar please. Feeling dim!
1st 6 of the poison CF...
thanks, monty!
Thx!
np hc ☺
np CF
Got it...great clue!

dammit - raindeer isn't how you spell it
dammit - raindeer isn't how you spell it
nor mindreed
Ha! That would be awesome...but no, it's not.
if you owned raindeer you'd have to have an umbrella insurance policy
need
ugh.. sorry
I'm laughing, ru, it was a good one
You're sleighing them in the aisles Ru
I'm always trying to blitzen the chat with puns
Not sucking me into your raindeer games!
I can never comet up with any good puns
just give it the old heave ho ho ho champ
Rudolph the Red knows RAIN dear!
Love that aeb!
ty
Let's not speak of the dreaded draindeer who live down in the sewer with Pennywise
yes. best to curb talks about draindeer before we end up in the gutter
After swimming with no bathing cap yesterday I Drained ears for awhile.
well, I am done. time to dasher!
so the dictionary says sh5 is a verb, but we can't make it pt?
first fe6/30 .......clue please
think about leg bones
ty ....I kept trying it with the last letter being s
or try to be humeris
Don't anyone go into orthopedic surgery with Doctor Ruru
you have a bone to pick with me molly?
little help with the top E?
stats-wise?
ef7/56 and 8/75
oh geez
so I guess not a regular word
it is if you're a turk
According to earlier chat, it's well known if you read books about Victorian times or Egyptologists. 🙄
guess I will just look it up, thanks
yeah, never would've stumbled onto that
it's in the movies too
i need to study m words.. i'm lost on my last 6
What movies?
oh movies about istanbul and such..
Can say I have ever watched a movie about Istanbul. This place has interesting book and movie taste.
Oddly, it's never in movies about Constantinople.
The one i remember was a prisoner movie
I saw Midnight Express but I don't remember the ef word from it.
Oh. Uh. Not to be crass, but I feel like if I were trapped in a Turkish prison, I'd use the ef word....
I don't think it was Midnight Express.. although I did see that movie
*giggle!* (@ freep)
big grids of late more than I needed this week
second grid in a row where the S words are a pain in my list...
morning
morning all
look at us, arriving at almost the exact same time
I replaced the batteries in my ESP device just this morning
that explains it
phantom: diminish
I don't want to belittle that phantom
do you want to help me find top Es instead?
I'm still on the first column :)
Os Overturned!
your top E's are ef 7/8 combo
oarsome!
ok ty dolly
yw
not every day words hursh
ok how did i just manage to think of them? maybe we have had them before
ah, just found the 9
and what did it start with?
a
thank you!
yw
well, first pass completed...30 to go
7-5-4-7-7
ah, just found two 8s
2OFOET
that's good, i have a problem spot at the lower M with 6 left there
ooh but now i got another pair there related to my earlier phantom
:)
tx, I didn't do the PT before
you were probably thinking it was an adj
6-5-4-6-3
yep
5-3-8-7-5
last column grey
well done moo. I grayed the C square
I rejoined the gym
Have not been there in over a year. will restart slowly
nice
they have classes for active older adults so I might start there and maybe make some new friends too
good plan....hello all...
hi pen
very cool peri
another gray day here. only in the 50s and looks like it might rain again
hopefully it will warm up sometime soon
yeah, it's grey here today...in the 50s at the moment, a few spots of rain
46 and cloudy here...
rehi - 64 and sunny here but was cold this morning
carla!
brightly sunny and 57 here.
pen!
hey hoke
moo!
seain!
hi, carla!
hello, pen
hi, moo
we made it to Thursday...the question remains, can we make it one more day?
maybe
I only have one 8
help with mi8 or mo8 please
I have no 8 yet, but only 96 words
I have 3 mi8s so far
do they all start with mis?
the mo8 I believe is the deposits left over from glaciers, looks like an anagram for a type of lettuce
2 do, the other does not
i have FI 8 and MO 8...
I have an a8, d8, e8, f8 and the 4 m8s
I have 3 mis 8 words
yes it is, moo, thank you
clue for any of the mi8 words please
to ask the waitress for the wrong meal
that was one I didn't have :)
bottom row grey
to take the wrong underlying meaning from something
to attribute wrongly
I am still stuck on the top e...
yeah, it looks italian
got the first one you clued ty nrkii
apparently it's Turkish
the top E is an obscure word ef7/8
got it!!
yay!!
okay, now about that mi8 that is not a mis word...?
is a "center" word?
to attribute wrongly not finding it
the mi8 looks like it's an adjective that has been converted into a verb
it's a 6/8 combo
and here I thought or5 was a phantom. that was my missing O on top.
peri, a dictionary is a *****ence book
ty nrkii
thanks, got those 2 now, but not moo's 6/8
bbl need lunch
The mi8 that is not a mis....if it started with di it would mean to make smaller
Then past tense
weird, thanks
def. never seen that
Thanks, Molly, that did it!
of course it is the archaic version of the di word
Me neither but apparently my reading is quiet plebian compared to some 😊
thank you, enable, for including all the archaic versions of words 🙄
dimine
is not a word
true story: it took me this many minutes later to realize fi6/8 is there
I'm down to 16, and my dog is happily snoring. It's walk time, but I think I'll let him keep snoozing a bit.
I'm down to 62 ðŸ˜
70 here...
maybe I'll work on top row since I have 3 gray tiles. unfortunately I still need 5 M's and 6 D's to gray the row.
did you find the mo7/8?
no, I don't have that. will look, but won't complain about a nudge.
yes...i took earth science in high school... ;o)
the skies are grey again today, and I don't want no MO **** (add a vowel)
got them somehow with pen's nudge, thanks
but I like your clue, nellie
my monkeys helped me on that... I skipped earth science :)
i wanted to drop French after taking it 10 years..
I took science at some point but don't remember specific earth science.
I am missing 1 8, but can offer a clue for any of the other 10... ha! ar, di, di, ef, fi, mi, mi, mi, mi, mo
anyone know which one I'm missing?
I still need 4
fa 7/8....
thanks!
yw...
I have ar, ef, fi, mi x3, mo. looks like I need the di's and fa, but that's just 3 more.
there are 4 mi
three "wrong" words
ah
are the di's dis words?
one of the di words matches one of the mi "wrong" words
yes
oh, a real word, thanks
the other is a di6/8 combo
both are real ! :)
ooh, a comic strip! 8's done!
Thank you Gary Larson! And penquis!
ah, got that, thx.
now just a di and mi left
did you get the mi that means to ask the waiter for the wrong meal?
yes
okay, so that's the only di/mi matching pair...
do you have all 3 of the "wrong" words for mi?
no
before the waiter one, to draw the wrong conclusion
it's not to plow a field wrong
ah, got that, thx
after the waiter one, to attribute to something wrongly
now just need the other di
the other di8 is the di6/8 combo
to remove weapons
sorry for delay, my dog just jumped on my keyboard... I guess it's walk time
oh duh, thanks. big words are not my forte.
12 left... bbl
51 here
54...still missing an MI 8, I think....
48 now - need 3 M and 3 D for top row.
did you get the archaic one molly clued?
doh, found a fabric
yes....not sure what i am missing....have to recheck...
ah...t's a DI i am missing....
they are both surprisingly regular words
ok, thanks...
off to cycle laundry, bbs
bye seain
bye, seain...
found the di 8....duh....
mi6/24....clue please
one who obeys?...
second one please I already had the first one
oh...that is the mi 6/8 combo, i think....like the fi 6/8 (to end something).....just put M for F....
tyvm pen
yw...it was Molly's clue...
tyvm Molly
Nope. My cluel was...The mi8 that is not a mis....if it started with di it would mean to make smaller
or clue
must have made it up myself then... ;o)
down to 39...taking a break....bye all...
folded sheets in dryer, blanket in washer, and changed sheets. Also too the Winter duvet off and put on the lightweight one I use most of the year.
sounds like spring cleaning is afoot
and there will be chocolate chip cookies later if the butter ever softens.
it's been out for 2h, and it's cool today, so patience is key.
my house is too cold to soften butter right now too
but I want cookies.
back, and down to 9
go, go nrkii!
almost all 6's and 7's
I could go for some cookies
hey, just found a 7
The microwave is a great way to soften butter. Put a stick in and heat it 5 seconds on each side of the stick.
You can also grate it if you don't want to use the evil microwave
I do usually use the microwave but also usually let it go too long
rehi
ooh, found an 8

monkeys working overtime

100 left
they are both common words, peri
starting with "bad" prefix
the first is part of a 6/8 combo
and one rhymes with another 8 :)
12 to go
so... which f7 am I missing...?
only F7s I have are plurals
I am missing an F tho
fa7, fe7, fi7
oh nm, found it
if you want a clue let me know
ah, fa7 is not a plural, so now I know I need a plural... thanks!
there is no fa7
yes there is
oh, didn't see the f down the bottom duh
I have 2 words missing off that :)
okay, I'm not seeing anything that could be pluraled beyond what I have...
yeah sorry, I don't use a list so misspoke
good morning/afternoon everyone. Just found my favourite comic strip (Gary Larson) and it is accepted - wonder of wonders

that'll be the missing one

just before you clued, I saw it like it was just waiting for me all this time
yeah, you asking for an f7 actually helped me find it :)
congrats on completing!
peri, any other help needed?
thank you moo!
anyone want a clue or two for the wacky words?
I'm good thanks...will muddle through the remainder...or not
stats for the top e please? (hope it isn't a fish)

sorry - sure you had it though
down to 38. 7-10-14-7. yep, I think I have that- you never know with the big grids
78 and struggling -- time for a lunc break
really need to vacuume this keyboard!
i need to wipe off the dog slobber on mine
funny you say that, I just used compressed air on mine and cleaned the screen
in what world is s4-ed right?
not sure which 4 you are talking about
I'll risk the PB - sended
instead of sent
wow, would never have tried that
it was my last S on the bottom and I don't know why I tried it. I guess desperation.
have made it to 24 left. 4-7-8-5. need 5 S and 5 i in 2nd col but everything else is <=3.
0-2-1-4 here
O RR AA SS
found an r
M3 R R A3 S5 D3 F i5 JJ
all one one of the j's are related
and that j that isn't related is a great tile dump
hmm
there's a latin plural m from the top that maybe you missed
well, I have 4 related. don't see a way to make more without a D.
keep imagining :)
maybe the latin plural M goes with my other 2 missing ones
well there's a stand alone latin plural m
oh
my last O was a 4 babblet. probably yours.
I have all my 4s
oh
then an o5 babblet
prob not since it's kind of a hobby for you
it's the top o
yeah, this one is from there
it was that
always seem to miss that
5 to go
three of which are 7s
somehow I usually get that one
found an i4 babblet!
inconceivable!
actually not really
still no idea on the j's. I have a 4, 5, 5, 4
j4 and j6
one of them is a currency :)
of course
you can bet money on it
weather is looking kind of rainish
still sunny here
phantom insofar...not that I need any i's
maybe your right R is a 5
5 of the i's are related (chemically)
I have 5 im that look like they could be chemicalish
ok, and the last i is also a chemical related one
do you have an is?
and the 3 before that are related too
related to each other, not the last word
I do not, though I have tried some is words
is6.21
duh, left off the last letter
i need so much more r :)
i got all the r's i hate leaving them until the end
I can't even figure out which 2 r's I have on the right
to have given food (again)
that's from the left
oh yeah
r6?
there's two other r5s that are related
to each other, not the 6
re4 babblet is from the right
no, that's the left isn't it?
the related 5s are from the right
and then the 6
no, the re4/4 has to be from the right, but I sure can't figure out what the other one I have from there is.
oh, re6 is from there
the three words I have off the right are r5, r5 and r6
but its related 5 is from the left
two related r5s
for the 4
oh nm, I see one of the 5s comes off the left
no, the 4/4 can only be made from the right
confiusing
yes
pretty sure you're missing r5/14
ok, will look for that
the other two related come from the left r
yeah, a PT. could have sworn I tried that earlier. thx.
hey, a column gray!
yay
so what you have left now?
21 - 3-6-7-5 MMM R AAA SSSSS F III JJ
what is the stat on the jumble word j?
ji4/9
oh yeah
your f could be the flower f7
no, picked that up earlier from the chat
wrong f
and it's the lower F
maybe a pt
or a plural
fa6.33 maybe
was a one who does
well if it's any consolation I have found none of my last 5
fa6/27
oh, I thought that was an adjective
bea, guesses on my 3 a's?
apparently it's a comparative
oh, guess so
assume you have an a6/7 combo
you should never assume
you have the 8/9
yeah, she has just 4,5,6 and 7s left
I have a 6/7 next to each other on the list, but they are unrelated.
oh, I have a 6/7 combo
are you missing an a4?
maybe butt chemicals :)
and you have the two I need :)
the 8/9 are the butt chemicals, though, right?
they are as well
I have 3 a4
there are only 3 a4
these are contracted butt chemicals
you have all those then
do you have the as7 - don't be stupid, moo
oh, I typoed it apparently
tx
ok, got the 6/7 set
a 5 that ends in not bro
woot
didn't have that BB...thx
ah, thanks, bea. another gray column!
3 to go
R SS
16 left here
6 7 7
2-5-5-4
the j6 comes after your first j, but it's the 3rd j :)
well, the 3rd one would come after the 1st one
yes it would, but I said YOUR first one
trying to give two clues in one
sidefer - as in...what's a sidefer?
but I have 5 now, if I put it after my first one, it would be 2nd
am I being an airhead?
it happens sometimes
yes it would be, but it isn't
the j6 comes after YOUR first j, but it's the third j
finally thought about how to make the 5 spelled different and got it. it is after my 2nd j.
but it is 3rd
oh, so you completed the j's?
another gray column!
woot!
yep, thanks
sorry, thought you were still missing the other one
who's on first? 🤣
what?
that still amuses me
gonna look at the 4th col D now. assuming it is di words.
could be, there are quite a few of them
what number are you looking for?
could actually be all of them
I am missing 3
2-5-4-4
think I'm giving up on these last 3
lenghts you have left?
wait, what letters, moo? I might have them.
disref - what happens in soccer a lot
R and 2 S from second column
one is a 6 and two are 7s
ohhhh. probably not then
unless...do you have the shriveled grape?
yep
I don't think that is exclusive to soccer
good point
and maybe misref instead of disref
fw!! whew
wtg dolly!
well done, dolly
ty!
chocolate chip cookie dough with strawberries made, will bake tomorrow. Mory laundry achieved. woo.
