thanks lickety!
my 7 & 8, Dutch sir
ta8
ca8
don't see a ta8 on lickety's list, and that was after I looked for it for 45 minutes off and on, haha! :\
Oops - sorry!
what was it instead? a 7? or another first letter? (still missing several 8's and haven't looked further at the list yet.)
It was a ta7 - I miscounted and didn't check it properly
ah, thank you for clarifying. :)
FWs...wasn't a bad grid, my worst words were the my 7/8
congrats! I'm putzing along slowly, wa5ing This Old House episodes on youtube as I go.
an5? driving me nuts - help?
to bother someone
duh - ty - LOL
yw, I just found it after you asked
goes
goil
well. oops.
It's that 8 month old Christmas hat you're still wearing. It's doing strange things to your brain.
Oh okay, now we have Dutch words in the grid. I guess we are all supposed to be multi-lingual.
may also have something to do with having to call a plumber to look at the dishwasher thats leaking into my kitchen + through the basement ceiling below -- after i spent MONTHS over the past year with those exact things torn out after my fridge leaked all over the place.
I swear to God, I would go back to renting in a heartbeat but current rents are higher than my mortgage payment.
i hear that! when my ex + i split, we were going to sell the house until i looked at prices...i decided if im gonna be house-poor id rather do so with more space + possible equity.
good morning all.
help with the wa8 pls. I have the 3 wa7s
wish I could afford someone to clean my apartment
sheesh, found the wa8
it was a pl
what are the stats for the dutch word pls
phantom: decathlon
Peri - my7.44 & 8
oh dear, our odds are not good then lol
Think my man in German (Cabaret) and then bastardize the spelling
ty molly
hello
hi mael
how are things? :)
oh have mercy, 57 c's??
I've found 37 so far... feels like a long way to go
morning, friends
39 of em found here so far
mostly common words, Hokie, :)
howdy bea, and folks
hi Hokie!
hello dolly
hey hey
lol, just had a c word in green when I am trying to find o's and realized it was a typo
good morning. barely slept. going to go make coffee, and I think a spot of food.
hey seain
*hugs* seain, sorry you had a bad night
woot, just hit 50 C words
wow!
go hurshy go
well, I made it to 38 c's and am moving on
grayed the bottom row at least
but now I'm typing with a cat on my keyboard
noice
well, just found 10 w's right off the bat, but as usual can't finish it
ooh, there it is
yeah, they were not too bad today!
not many ways for that W to go
yep
a catlog: enumerates the felines in one's house
if you find you have too many you might need to decat
no such thing as too many!
eww, I'd say there is
I mean, sure, you're right. Be we'd need to be in double digits
definitely 10 is too many
the kids and I are working on convincing my husband to get a third cat
ideally to bring balance to the force, because our two cats do not get along
but how do you know they will get along with the 3rd and vice versa
we don't! haha
exactly
and it's not really true, our young cat loves our older cat but she wants to play and old lady emphatically Does Not
so adding another younger cat might help give older cat a break
I agree with Carla on the too many cats thing
I went to a woman's house once who had 9 cats, oh my God, the smell
my brother has too many cats and dogs and last time I went to his house I almost gagged
oh I bet. I was mostly being facetious because I like cats. 3 or 4 well kept ones is the max, with enough space and cleaning the litter boxes every day
whew, good to know😜
Caring for that many animals the right way is a full-time job in itself.
tell me about this bottom A...can only find 2
meanwhile I've crept up to 53 Cs
they're all an
found a 3rd!
no wait
yes, all AN
kthx
Oh God, the abbreviations are getting lamer
oh that one's really old
like, 25 years old at least
Still lame 😋
it's the "getting" that we're refuting haha
My favorite quote of the Business World week..."a sentence with more than one acronym in it does not ooze intelligence". 😊
rich coming from the Business World with their jargon!
everyone circling back to shift the paradigms...
I was going to say the business world is the worst for that stuff
I work in the field and they are horrid
well, tripped up on HOET at the very end due to the M. only found 1. still 86 left.
I only have one M too, hokie
It's the Dutch words

They are big and they are guys

it is a dutch address like sir
... thanks for the guy hint, I monkeyed them
can someone give me the stats, please?
my7.44
and 8,60
my7/44 and plural
Did an6 say they are my 7 and my8? 😋
must have been an7 poster :)
well, google translate gave me a different spelling then there was a different spelling below that with a j, and then I finally figured it out from that.
Well aren't you the cleverest little thing?
FW!
congrats, mael
wow, well done

Tgodes
hello everyone -- late start on this one
What is tgodes????????
hey nan
Goches is not a word. Was a word for me.
I think it is yiddish though. I always get confused as we used yiddish and english mixed and so i never knew what was english and what was yiddish.
I think this is often the case.
Often the case in bi lingual families
well, lunch over, going to do some straightening up here

I may have
yes if mean la7

and la8
looking at the definition, it doesn't seem milk related
I don't know, ch. I have some la7s and an 8. was wondering about lacto-words
what ch said
I don't know what it means, but it plays off a milk related word.
ooh, just found a 7/8 set. I guess that's it, thanks.
it's basically someone who can't sing or have any rhythm
now just need 1 L
have a sudsy la 8 -- are there two?
still need 4 L's
3 l's, because I missed that one :)
yes, nan. this one ends in the first number.
there is a 7 that ends that way

now I found my last o
still one on the upper o
second row grey
still need O, EE, and RR on 2nd row
any non words?
dang it i already had 2 an6
so that's not mine
well that's bothersome :)
maybe you are missing the easy an4. that took me a while.
or an5 (another subtle hint by moo)
no, it was what Fritz does to Rilla
- yeah, an5
or maybe a different one ;)
just found some misspelt ch 6
moo was right, i was saying no to the easy an4
hmm, not sure I have that c
even I can be right on occasion
you mean the one that looks like a misspelled kind of ch... dang it i can't even clue it
yeah, I have that one

tired of looking for words and knowing full well that some of them will be ridiculous

enjoy your evening hoke
you too
hello all....
pen!
carla!
hi all... I'm down to 22 and seem to be ground to a halt
hi nrkii...
i am stalled at 45....
I decided to list
i had a burst of luck....down to 41....going to list as well...
down to 19...
I'd love to get one more C and one more T before I list
there's a set of 3 T's that I'd never heard of that has to do with a dowry if that helps
TA? TO? TH?
my other T was an adj version of the powder
is that the pt?
TO is the set of 3
I have the powder past tense :)
me, too...
thanks, will look...
not a past tense, but an adj meaning containing the powder
or I guess technically the mineral
i think i found those....TO words....ty for the nudge...
not a pt ending then?
ohhhh, ta7... nice
no, the pt is a 6. nellie got it, ta7.
oh...i have that one, too...
and ugh, I already had the TO series, courtesy of my monkeys
but I knocked out a T, so just need a C and can list
i think we have had the dowry word before...
I only have 2 CA words
how many c's do you have left, nellie? I still have 4 (started at the bottom of the list).
i have three CA words...but still missing two Cs....
3 to go... trying to get to 2 or less on each tile before I list and that's the only one left
okay, so I have ca7 and ca8
i have a CA 4...
found it
but it's not at all familiar
thanks for the nudge... 17 to go. list time
did not have that 4
i have seen it before.....but haven't looked at the meaning....
currently looking for se7/8 from the right side if anyone has any clues
do you have the pl of the calm word?
found them
were they the ones you were missing?
this is 7/32. looks spanish.
plants of course
hmmm.....found se SE 6 while looking....no real definition...name of a lake....
we've had that before but I never think of it
my missing Cs were the clams
my N was the stupid one that should be 2 words or hyphenated
ha! my missing L was a 4 that I was sure I had.
oh, didn't have those either, nellie.
oh...those were my missing Cs....
that was my missing N, too... ;o)
didn't know they could be spelled that way
34....am listing...
hmm ,my H is a 7 and I know the first 4.
oh...missing that one, too...
moving on for now
found it...
it's not a compound word....
Salmon not clams
i believe the co 5 is an alt spelling of a clam....
clam
I think the salmon is co4/5
the clam is usually qu6 and the name of the town on family guy
yes, exactly
co5 is clam, co4 is salmon
we used to buy some co 6 sometimes when we went to the coast when I was a kid...
FW!
nice! still 9 here.
anyone need help before I go?
er6?
old-fashioned word meaning before this time
ah, thanks
congrats, nrki...
well, my last C was a plural that I was sure I had.
do you have an 7?.....\
yes, regular word
oh...duh...
if you have n6 you should see it
yes, ty...
4 left that I'm not seeing and 3 are 5s!
well i can relate....i can't find a four!
I had one that took me a while
duh...mine was one i as sure i had...
first an6 please
93 left. will not finish this one
it looks like it sounds like an7 that means an opposite word
an 6 ends wth the same ending of a word meaning "a word that means the same"
ty pen
I'm about to just look up my last 4
what are the stats?
ty hokie
anyone have the first LA 7?
starts with milk word, ends in sound
la7 = milk prefix + hue/shade
ty....will work on that...
ty nrkii
ty hokie
found it....ty...
well I am finished
congrats....
thanks
CA7 and CA8?
ends with a poem lauding a person or object....
anyone have re 6/24?
To yell again and have it come back to you
ah...always miss that one...ty...
It looks weird to me, so I get that!
champ, was that cllue for the CA?
No the re 6/24
anyone have CA7 or 8?
ca7/8 is an old tv word - remember CRT? * ray tube
I clued the end of the CA 7...
i am down to two A words....
still not getting it
starts with a pet and ends wth a homonymn for pt of word meaing to till the soil...
i am done...
congats pen
WTG, Penquis!
these are my last 2.....
ty!
woot!
Jen....did you see my clue?
ty....glad to be done with this one...
I did, but not making sense, pen
kitten + 1/3 of santa's saying + eastern state
eastern state could be any.....
Jen, its the smallest state
I thought RI was
A poem to Catherine the Great? And plural
it could be any, but are the postal codes for all the eastern states in the grid?
I am baffled
sorry, that happens to me sometimes too. but there have been like 4 different clues and I don't know how else to make a different one.
you are right, Jen, my mistake. It's the First State, home of many corporations
the 8 ends with an O 4/5 word....
never gonna get it
have you tried something like bestwordlist.com
i am using more words
love bestwordlist....
heading out....goodnight all....
bye pen!
the last wa 752 clue please
Nancy, if you are still here. It is the plural of the base word of that series.
many thanks wht, got it
hello wht.. how are you.. how is your journey going?
