Does anyone know if auto add game format will work on an iPad? It’s been a few years since I have played
I had it on my computer for years
Or how to add the words from lickity to here, again on an ipad
From memory you can add a small quantity to cut - you could try that just for a test. I assume you can"t load BabbleExpert?
The instructions to cut and load all or part are at the bottom of LicketySplitAU

Sorry!
My word list is all confused today. Words are not in alphabetical order and I have considerate as a 6 letter word and it doesn'
doesn't even exist. Is anyone else experiencing this?
maybe wrong list are you showing 454 words?
OK I refreshed and now it is okay. Tres weird
No, Ivesy it was the right list, just weird
oh hey, right most column gray! lol
good morning all. it is 30 degrees outside here!!
27 here! I'm going to go get the kids bundled up and come back to this beast late
later
Ridiculously cold for the second of November.
indeed, Molly
As for the grid and word list appearance, things have been weird since the server went down. The grids are not refreshing at the flip the way they used to for one.
yes it is confusing. I dont know what time it flipped
hello< back at my desk
hi mael
down to 200 left
130 for me, going crosseyed though
hey molly, hey peri
Bbl for my last 94.
at least I finally started finding some 8s... no luck on the 9s yet
I have 4 8s. no 9s
same
Good Morning
hi christa
I have sm9
may I have a hint pleae
oh I found it! it's clever :)
I think we all need to give DrGod a break. He has moved Servers enabling us to play now. Transferring everything else will mean a massive unpaid work load for him. I guess there are a lot of players who did not even paid the inital few $s to join/play. Not forgetting IronSudoko which a lot play also. Praise be DrGod and thank you again.
I hadn't even seen that ending yet
got the sm9!
clue for sm 9, pls
do we know if there's a way to send dr. god some money to cover expenses? maybe if we all pitch in a little it would help
stats for the other 9 please
you'll feel clever when you find it, bichon

compound sm9/60.
my sister and I did pay the initial fee and I am very grateful for Dr. God and Babble. I have been playing since the summer of 2004

Ooh got the 9! Ty.

I spy a scottish disney princess
it took quite a while lol
and Merida is one of my favorites!
✅✅✅
we watched Coco last night, speaking of disney. one of my faves.
I cry so much when I watch Coco, still

I've never watched UP! again after the original time
tr8 please
nm I have it
454, whoa.
Its a big'gun!
Hi Eeyore! Do you still have a boy in HS?
Hello My dear Scrabs!
No! Both kids are in college :) and kicking ass!
How is partial retirement?
Are they local?
One is. The other in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Melon.
Ah, just 3 hrs from me. My friend's daughter went there and was an art major.
He's a physics major...leaning toward astrophysics
CMU is an excellent STEM school.
Such a fantastic place!
A former patient is working n a PhD in electrical engineering there.
How are you doing? Your mom?
Mom is 92 and her mind is sharp. Skeleton is frail.I retired 5 weeks ago and am liberated.
Are you still doing the class ?
Done for the semester.
How did you find it?
I loved it.
Excellent!
Are you done with hiking for the season?
I am still in the upper left corner.
I am done with backpacking because it's too cold for us. I am still hiking most days.
I figured. We had our first frost this morning.
We have had intermittent snow since Halloween night.
brrrr
hi guys. I had a great hike on Sun and it was 82 degrees. now it is just 43.
can't even work up a winston walk
Wow! Quite a jump
well, first pass done. HOET and 118 left. gotta get on with my day. you all have a good one!
Big temp swing.
Have a great day
I have to go to. I have some very uncooperative turkey cookies to finish and I am not looking forward to it.
I bet they will look stunning.
They are more goofy than stunning. But I"m doing my best. I'll send you a pic in messenger.
I hope you have a wonderful day! The next time I'm in Pittsburgh, maybe we can meet!?!?!?!
That would be amazing.
i really liked Pittsburgh. such a striking looking city, really. and of course the best part is the Mr. Rogers stuff!
I went to a baseball game once at Three Rivers and that's all I saw of the city.
right column gray
i am happy for a nice big grid! but i sort of wish it were tomorrow instead of today, lol
120 left bbl
well I already have the right col gray
oh maybe i should try to do that then
right col grey!
4th col I need 4 L's and 5 S's, but have the other 3 tiles gray

my last re 6 is part of a re 7/8/7 chain...
i'm working the r's right now.. not there yet
the re 6 starts the chain....but i do have 105 words missing....
No I Have all the re s in the chain but the last one

It is the last word in the end of the chain
not sure i understand...last word IN the end of the chain?....what does that mean?
oh....found an re 6....
It is the last re/6 right after the re/21
i understand now...
ty for the clue...

Ty… I am almost to the end of my rope
Still here, penquis?
Any one find the

New word for me.

Penquis, do you live in Lewiston? I thought about you on 10/25.
Me too….Ty ruru
rs done now onto the s's
i was born and raised in Lewiston....but i live about an hour and a half from there now....haven't lived there in about 40 years....
No family there?
my cousin's daughter lives there...
A horrible tragedy.
my brother knew a family who was at the bowling alley but they were not hurt....
yes, truly horrible....
i had been to the bowling alley before when my great nephews were young....nice place....
I have been following the story of the boy that was transferred to Mass General for Children. Terrible arm injuries from being shot. He's had 3 surgeries already with more planned.
yes, the baseball pitcher....i have heard about him....
I found a word but don't know how it is made. de6/21.
I figured it out.
sometimes i just type words without following the letters in the grid....
Yes.
Well, the first 312 words were pretty easy.
my feelings exactly....
the last twenty are murder
i am stalled at 35....
not 35....94....don't know how that mistake was made....
253 left for me.
:)
Hi RB! How are you?

Go Bea, go.
Been gone all day. Drove to the ortho for a noon appt. It was at 1:30.
ugh
wow from famine to feast!
Enjoy, Owl.
no way.
carla did you do the halloween squardle?
I just passed halfway so I am done.
not yet. just realized I haven't done the daily today.
well done, scrabbs!
enjoying yourself?
same as last year. i would be interested to know if you do it. i find it too frustrating.
lots of A's today
I managed 14 of the lower A's but only 26 of the upper
happy babbling.
I gotta get busy again, can't get sucked in here or squaredle. have a good day.
FWs
Congrats!
apparently we had a large grid 15 years ago today - 599 words. my fb memories so inform me. lol
lol....i think i remember that one....
212 words are hiding from me.
i listed....37 left here....
Go Penquis, go.
i haven't listed yet but 36 left
Go Hurshy, go.
nice going, hursh...
i feel like i SHOULD get the list but i don't wanna either
You will know if it is time.
i was too tired to continue without listing....
well i have 6 words hursh, i am willing to clue any of those
lol
an 4/4 an** up
i've just started "All the Light We Cannot See" on Netflix... haven't read the book yet though
The book is outstanding, definitely in my top 10.
usually works out better that way, really, if you read the book first the filmed version is usually disappointing
does anyone want to clue the ar 7?
oh i need that too
how about ar 8?
the things that carry your blood and spurt if you cut them
TY
What does this mean, ar 7 or ar 8? This is my first time playing.
there is a word with seven letters that starts with AR....and one with eight letters that starts with AR....
you can find these stats on Lickety's list....look below the tile stats and you will see a link...
Ah. I actually got the ar 7. But how do you know that there are ar words even? The tile stats just indicate first letters, yes?
phantom: detonate
look at the link for LIckety....below the stats...
rids
Thanks penquis!
detonate was one of my phantoms, too....
yw...
welcome adonax! FYI this is really big for a grid. average # of words is probably 100-200. new grid every day at midnight US central time.
hursh....still here?
yes
do you have on 7?
hey LA!
yes
found it....
mk
hi TO! i like your profile pic, have a similar looking kitty on my lap currently (sans knife [that i know of])
hi TO....
:)
Hi LeslieAnn. That's good to hear about the size. I'm more likely to come back for a smaller board. I've got 310 with 144 to go, so far. The tile stats are very helpful clues, but also make it harder to put aside the puzzle.
in the beginning, if you did not pay to join, you got no stats.
warning....babble is addictive... ;o)
rehi
that's great for a first grid!
so can you still join now, or are you doomed to forever babbling in the shadows?
people come up with all kinds of goals to make it easier to walk away lol. like having one from each tile, or more than half from each tile etc.
i believe Dr. G. said he stopped collecting money and just gave anyone who signed up a "paid" account at one point (a few years ago?)
i am down to 4....A and D words....7s and 8s....
yeah, I think everyone can see the stats now
nice pen
i was wondering. seems like all new players are shadow people
109 left here
carla!
pen!
no one has AR 7 or AR 8?
LeslieAnn, I play a lot of Wordsplay online. Some of the folks there mentioned this site so I thought I'd checkit out. Definitely fun. I have one S (col 1, row 3) that is not at half yet. 9 of 22. I like that halfway for each letter goal.
we call that HOET - half on every tile
some days you have time to track them all down, sometimes you don't!
and it's a great goal
ooh, just finished the L
now if I could just find 5 s's in the 4th col I'd gray the whole one
a few i have from that S are Mr. Claus with the last vowel changed, and college Se*** Hall
that's the 3rd row S
yes
oh, you're talking to adonax, not me. sorry.
oh! haha sorry i missed that
Bunny Fiona hopped out of her room and is staring at me. I think she wants another salad.
hey scrabbler
how's life these days
pen, wanna guess my missing O?
LeslieAnn, those two worked. I'm at 13/22 with that letter now. Can walk away, happy. But...
Life is good. I retired on 9/28.
haha babble claims another
hursh....check your plurals....
congrats to you scrabs!
i know! congrats!
Retirement is a great gig.
shhh, LA....
indeed, that's what i've heard from my parents
hokie carla, did you find the 9 letter s from the fourth col?
check my plurals for ... which? lol
I did not, thanks
I think pen was talking to me, hurshy
well the Os have two pairs of sing/pl.....
I need 3 O's. I have the number and the water mammal.
I have 2 sets of sing/pl in the O and one 3 letter pl
there is an on 4....and an on 7....
the slimy veggie, scrabs
ok, on7 is what I need. and what's the 2nd letter of that S9?
anyone have AR 7?....it's my last word....
I don't
can't find it on Best Word List...
slimy vegetable
I still need 13 A's there
penquis I have ar 7 . what would be a good clue (if you are asking for one)?
how many points for ar7, pen?
28
well if i knew what would be a good clue, I would have to know the word already... ;o)
TY. I dislike that slimy vegetable.
ditto
So, I need on7.
me too. still.
it's a comparative, scrabs....
penquis, I meant that in terms of being new hear and not wanting to do something like make it inappropriately easy
on7 is a babblet. sounds like more nasty
any serious bakers here? i made a new cake and some things need to improve
more cranky, in a special dialect based spelling
well, I kept trying to think of something like that , Leslie, thx
it's too labor intensive to fumble my way to perfection
found it....ends with not "fro"....
I found on7 on the list.
thanks, LeslieAnn
aHA
understood, Adonax....
that wraps up the Os
oh yeah, we have trouble with those double t a words every time
i gave a small clue....if people ask, I can give more of a clue...
what kind of cake was it TO?
did i miss the clue for ar7?
So what is that ar7?
an alt sp of a lipstick tree
pear yogurt cake spring form
yeah, I don't know what a lipstick tree is either
i am done....
I never heard of a lipstick tree.
woo hoo!
whoa that sounds advanced TO
TO....i said it ended in not "fro".....
yes, that's too fussy for me.
and carla said she always has trouble with those double T words....
not advanced. just a pain with a small work space. peelin and dicing and all that
I suppose it could be used in a cake recipe, but that might be a stretch.
*smakcs forehoead* thanks
180 left and I am done. Good luck to everyone trying to finish. Welcome to Babble, Adonax.
good night, scrabs
made it to 100 left
bye, Scrabs...
i have never made a cake in spring form except cheesecake and ice box cake
anyone need anything before i go?
night scrabbler
295 words, pen :D
just guess my 100 words 🤣🤣
sides darker than i want. pan is non stick, but not dark metal.
LOL@carla
on that note, i am taking my leave... bye all....
still searching for ar7
good night, pen!
72 Temple Owl - part of what makes it tricky is that it is not the usual spelling for this word.
TO, go down right then back left
oh hell. ty
i think it's time for a small break. i am in the bedroom.going on a month without the led tv. need to go downstairs for snacking.
oh dear, there's bea's fish
got it already
and the other five that follow
i only got 3 that follow. guess that's my missing 2 from that T
5,6,7,8.9,6
of course an 8 and 9. looking.
8.45 and 9.60
looked them up, thanks
yw
did you finish your a's, bea?
yes
what do you need?
nice. still need 12 and 1
there are 12 am's
oh, missed the french one
hmm i only have 10 am
I had 6 but have 10 now
oh, found my lower A
haha
there is an am7.
is it a real word?
they are all real words...
ha
that's why i don't use that phrase
weird or normal
it builds from the am4.6
that's one more word!
am4.6, 7.36, 5.14, 6.24, 5, 14
a make that statement tongue in cheek..you knw
i had an rsv vaccine on monday and my arm still feels like i was kicked by a horse. today is was a cortisone shot in the hip. feel like a pincushion
yikes
next week, i get the spike vax
I went to get it last week but they made me wait too long and I had to leave plus they were going to make me pay even though it's supposed to be free for most everyone. so I keep forgetting to call my ins and ask what's up.
anyone got sa7?
nope
nor i
how many points?
and which S do you think it's from?
32, it's got to be upper right S
it's after equivalent but before non-crazy
aHA got it
thanks
japanese istrument
egads, a big'un! (hi all)
somehow that helped
hey gwen, here's a life raft
oh dear gwen, you just got here?
yep, been busy today
well, I have found 42/43 upper R's. is there a chance I'll ever find that last one?
nbt, woot
sidereal (phantom)
this grid would be improved by an n in the upper rows
have made it to 50 left
i need 63. guess i should list.
Am at 115 left. Started looking at Lickety Babble.
it is very helpful
59
halfway done, night all
night gwen
85 left...night
night bea. guess I will list now for 43.
hi everyone - been busy all day so just getting back to this now. 242 left from last night (gulp)
good luck, nan
carla do you have the final re6/18?
just on the M but will look
no luck yet and I know what the 3rd letter has to be
either s or t
so i am pulling at my hair
oh, I thought I finished that other R. might help if I look at it.
found it. want a clue
it's a t
that's okay, going back to the M for now
Ack, am having big trouble with ar 8 40. That is my last A word. So, all 1 pt letters. Also, comes after ar.. (should I not reveal?) but before as.
it's a regular word. in your body, with blood
plural
also, I say don't worry about revealing too much this late in the day (well, don't give the actual word but you know)
doh! thanks. OK, was thrown by the tricky path.
yep, I didn't see it either, saw it clued at some point today
I didn't think to backtrack to the R--but took that R as taken, despite it having a neighboring R.
early day tomorrow. good night and ha[[y babbling
good night - still 16 left here
i certainly hope the demonstrators will not be at the station tomorrow. at least until i catch the train home.
good luck
they started out peacefully but then blocked trains. why do they think the US can end the conflict in the middle east?
who knows
that's what i say. see you tomorrow.
good night
it is very interesting. like with most things nowadays. younger people have their own views.
night al
but what do they think stopping trains there will accomplish?
well that was a slog with the list. why I usually don't use it with that many left.
have totally lost interest so leaving - hopefully the next grid will be more manageable.
they likely feel that they must do SOMETHING, anything... even if it seems futile
OK, ready to leave this one. I just have one I'd really like to figure out: on7.28. Clues?
it's a comparative, alt spelling of say what a grumpy old man is
thanks, got it.
oops maybe not
no prob, come back tomorrow for more fun!
OR8 (not in the grid) is how I would spell and say ON7
there, just bobbling some of the letters That was fun. If the board is smaller tomorrow, I'll try again. But this might be too addicting.
they're usually between 100-200
I'm guessing 153 for tomorrow
95 left, three hours of life spent, not bad
agreed about or8
have a good night!
lol, I'm sure I spent way more than that
I'm very slow
out w 284...
Just started playing this. Seems to be adding to the words I got yesterday? How does that work?
