Somehow managed to monkey that gr9, but I still don't have anything for the lone E
Well found an ER 7 but from a different E…
gillie, en7, to make angry
Of course - ty
sorry that's en6. ketamine brain here
Well, I got it anyway
;-)
Pi 7….
sooo... are there 2 re8's and two gr8's? they both got called twice, looks like to me.
Only one of each….but i am missing an 8….
ahhh. same here. I have the four from chat now.
Well it will wait….heading out….goodnight all…
yes - not feeling like hitting the list just yet.
huh I didn't think enable HAD seven Z words. Morning all!
hi dan
missing 3 Zs
bottom row is tough
40 for later. hagd
Good morning. I will start with the Z, Dan.
When I first looked at the grid (pre-coffee) I read it as 17 z words and said WTF??
I have 3 and am going random with the grid now.
7 is plenty of Z words!
I also only have 3, alas
It was the sixes that were tough. And JMC's favorite words, but I have those committed to memory.
Buona mattina, mael.
buongiorno anche a te, scrab! :)
Where did you grow up in Italy?
lake garda, in the Dolomites
we were back home just a few weeks ago with the kids
Ah, up north. My mother's mother grew up in the province of Caserta and her father in Sicily, in Gualtieri Sicamino.
the South is beautiful but I have to admit I've never visited
I always thought there was time and then I moved to the US...
I would like to visit their villages.
it would be the trip of a lifetime!
Yes. My grand-fa6 had 3 siblings that stayed in Sicily so family is there.
it's curious because most people from Northern Italy emigrated to South America, not North America. All of my grandfather's siblings went to Uruguay. It all depended on following someone you already knew, so they clustered in different parts of the world
no farro, enable is as usual behind the times :)
Not updated since the year 2000. Not sure why people keep expecting words of recent years.
I'm not surprised, Molly
it's just always curious to see which words were pre-2000. Orzo is accepted but farro is not, it's a strange cultural divide!
Mael, my grandparents emigrated to east Utica, NY where everyone was Italian. They met in a textile mill.
it's always a great story, scrabb
heading out for a while, 35 left. Managed to finish the Fs but still only 3 Zs and no 9 :)
see you all later
Ciao
su8 just doesn't sound right
agreed Molly, apparently a real word though
Some sound better with more and a shorter version, like more su6
Su 8 not a real word
Freedictionary.com and a couple of other dictionaries acknowledge it.
(or are we talking another su8?)
i have always said that enable takes great liberties with that suffix. But just because it doesn't sound right to our ears doesn't mean it isn't a real word. Just not a word you might not use frequently
I was talking about su8/55.
The su8/70 is just whacked
already a few comparatives here
worse than po7?
Yes, po7 is amusing. su8/70 is just weird.
And so is the 9
haven't reached that point
but you can give stats if you care to
gr9/78
ty
the po7 didn't stick out to me at first
I would like a clue for the gr9 pls
have I come at a bad time?....hello all....;o)
no, you've come at lunch time. got to see what i can rustle up
just ate...
Did it need to be pointed out Ru?
sometimes I need a little poke to get this grid going
It's an up and down thing I guess
could i get a hint on the gr9?
starts like the golfer Gr 4 Norman....
thanks
yw...
i monkeyed it....never heard of this parasite....
I'm glad to hear that Pen. It keeps you another step further from total geekdom.
*phew*....
I thought it had to do with monks 😊
i was up at the flip and saw the call....
cant get the 9/ have the 7 and 8 before it and just not seeing the 9. darn.
any help welcome for ending assuming it is same first 5. ty
The flip is another story when it comes to total geekdom.
it's a stand alone....
i clued the first part of the GR 9....
ty. i now see it is not from the gr 5 i though. so it is a weird word yes?
yes...
ends like the fruit tange****....
hi all. help with center R please
ty. does it have a z in it?
extend the ra 5/20...
ty need to find ra5/20
it comes from the other R...the center is ra 5...
i have it. but it is from the R in third column and so confused.
the singular is from one R and "one who" is from the other R...
got it ty pen
yw...
one who gr***s is not in grid. so confused. i assume it is g and then the r 5 word?
i did not say that the gr is a "one who"....it's a parasite.....i gave two clues...one for the start and one for the end....scroll down....
the "one who" comment referred to the ra 5...
yes.
sorry. all i see is the end. will look further back.
oh i found it! ty! missed the second g in grid. ty
yw...
i totally missed the clue about the golfer. sorry.
it's ok...
now stumped by e in second column. trying to find it.
en 6....to make someone angry....
... to make someone very angry
got it.
ty
howdy folks
ty much all cluers. ty.
hi carla
well i am down to 24....taking a break...bye all....
112 left here
afternoon, babblers! sent kiddo off to his 1st day or first grade today. ::SNIFFLE::
awwwww
next thing you know he'll be in college
he will be taller then me in like a week. LOL
true
Did he go to all day kindergarten or half day?
well, was on track for HOET until the bottom row. 39 left. 11-8-11-5-3-1
good morning everyone :)
hey nan
some people are gropier than others
free clues from carla?
Some guys are definitely gropier than others.
and Molly?
gropier is not a word
even though it is
lol
had tried it - didn't realize it was declared not a word
What dictionary did you find gropier in Carla?
no, I was saying it is a word in real life but not in enable
HOET finally
25 now. 4-6-8-4-2-1
anyone seen moo lately? did someone run him off last week?
not liking this grid much
it was okay
not sure why I said was since I'm still working but stuck
I need one f and one t to turn the left side black
got the f
I need 1 F, but the F is in the middle
I need 1 T in 1st col and 2 T in 2nd col. 1 F and 2 A in middle col, then the 4th and 5th are all white.
yes -- I am just missing a t from the first col. to turn the left 3 col. black
any guesses on my 2 T's in the 2nd col?
there isn't anything new in the f's
maybe you are missing a comparative or a plural
working on the p's now -- need 5 of those
I have 4 p's left
oh, one was an ER word
one of my T's that is
missed the adult rated ones
completely monkeyed my last T in 2nd col. that's a word people know?
and the abbreviation for your poltical leader
ah, I did not have that one
taking a lunch break then heading for the list
hey all, can I get stats for the lone e in that second column?
en6/24
thanks
no prob
that's less helpful than I was hoping it would be lol! You wouldn't happen to have a clue for it too, would you?
it might make you mad when you see it
but hopefully it won't en6 you
WOW what an appropriate word, thank you
haha
well, I went to the list and still have 10 left. guess I will take a break.
never heard of er7 32 kinda fumbled upon it lol
not doing so great today have 58 left this one seems like a kicker
that's one of my 10 if you can spare a clue
ends like rise and s____
gracias
carla
th
So sorry!!
babble time!
i thought toerag was an insult
hello again
su 8/70 please?
a variation on Susan and wet weather
Great clue
ty ru -- looks familiar, will have to see the def
gr9 please - don't even know where to start after the first 2
yeah, it took me a while to look it up even. looks kinda like the gr chant but kind of a blue/green gem ending
ruru, did you actually know the su8? never seen that before in my life. like who knew there was even a word that means that?
Man's name + end of the citrus that starts with tang
I remembered seeing it in a historical tome I had to read for one of my history courses after I saw the def.
nan...the gr 9 starts with a man's name....
Like I said
ty Molly. My younger son's name!
sounds like the parasite you would inject into lawns to kill grubs
hagd everyone :)
well it is a parasite...
bye, nan...
The su is a parasite not the gr
dictionary.com.... type of sporozoan parasite that inhabits the digestive and other cavities of various invertebrates and produces cysts filled with spores.
other way around
the definition was for the gr 9....
sorry, meant other way around - su8 is not parasite, ge9 is
gr 9
exactly...
I'm surprised pi7 was not a proper noun
Right
we have had that pi 7 before....makes me want to sing "Au claire de la lune...mon ami Pi 7".....
The non proper is a white faced French actor. Mime?
yes, with a pointy hat...
the proper is a specific male character, the non-proper is a buffoon who dresses up like that guy
I didn't know the non-proper version existed
Missing 2 Z words.. any suggestions?

glad you found it
no problem, nrkii....
the Zs must be ZA 6/51 x 2..
first four letters are the same...
wow... that should be easy
i think they are alt spellings of the same word....a word I never heard of...
I looked up my last 10 words and those 2 were in there. tho I had tried similar.
DONE!!!
