Yep!
*Imagines the MOST ENTUSIASTIC REALTOR IN HOUSTON award sitting on Champ's desk
Ha! You know I try!
I do enjoy an award!
84 T's is going to be a slow ride
Haven't gotten that far, but yes.
BBL. Enjoy!
Never heard the ia word before. Apparently, it's Greek
hello all. help with i in 4 column please
Back!
Stats for the ia?
ia6/21
thx
Ha! Go it on the first guess!
woot! first word is an 8.
stats for i in 4th column please
Peri - there are 2 it7.28 - first 5 letters the same
You're already on a roll!
or I've already peaked
ooh, another 8 and a 9!
ty lynn
wtg carla. no 8s or 9's here
the 8/9 is regular words. let me know if you want a quick clue.
found an 8 and a 9 !!
woot!
another 8
I have ex9, re9 and th9. Stats for any of the others please?
I only have the R one
ty, hokie
I only have the th
ce9,60 or9,54
And another re
how are you feeling today, molly?
ty, Molly
phantom warthog
ooh, found another 8/9
th9
are you asking for a clue?
no, just calling it
ok
1/2 bbl
well, 104 left and HOET after first pass. BBL
I'm blind to the c's. Really a slog for me.
only found 15 c's
they were a bit of a challenge to get half on
14 here.
just found a plural I'd missed, so 11 left
Oooh...good for you!
oh, found an 8 there
and another plural. amazing when you can look in different directions
I feel like I've gone all directions, but guess not!
oh, found a c9. now 6 c's left
went and played squaredle in the meantime
Go carla, go!!!
it is quite a slog though, you're right
37 re's
yuck
oh my
I only have 27
and only have 13 total R's left
I have 31, but
...getting close.
i've only closed out six tiles so far
I have only grayed the right side i with 2 words 🤣
still need 1 x and everything else is a million words needed
I need 1 there too.
found my nemesis R
wooHOO!
you have a nemesis R?
yep, similar to bea's T
bea has a nemesis T??
well, I don't know if it's a nemesis, it's always referred to as bea's fish
you think you know people well and then you find out they have nemesis words
I also have a nemesis T
:)
are you saying they are similar in that they are both nemeses, or do they also share further similarities? your R and her T i mean
similar in the 3rd/4th letter combo
do you have an archnemesis word carla
et 4/4?
I get that one all the time
finally got the ce9 thank you hokes
no prob, ruru
I've never been surer of your skills than now
Well now that I know it's ce, I got it too!
One 9 left, but only have 8- 8s
I still need 9 8s and 2 9s
oh, found an R8
and another
I have 5 so far.
I have 7 re8
i have 6
Found an f8
fantastic!
i need one more corner R and three more lower right
I need 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 on the R's
one plus two plus two plus one
oh good there's another re8, now just one each from corner and lower right
you go this!
the last couple are usually quite hard to see when there are so many
just cause your brain is like... it keeps wanting to go the same ways it already went
was just thinking the same, I prob won't get these unless I list
got all the c's now.. whew
some really hidden ones
cool
way to go!
9's done!
phantom: extra
nice
I wonder who one who ex5s themselves is not a word
nor can you do it again
Yep
I have a LOT of e's left. 5 + 6 + 3
i just need 2+2+1
I'm low on those. Need T's and C's mostly.
found 1
I need 13 + 8 T's but haven't looked again yet
phantom energetic
also why isn't one who leaves a word?
Os Obliterated!!!
agree
i wondered that too hokie
good morning all -- didn't really nead a grid this big!
hey nan, it's so cold here I'm not going outside until dinner tonight
maybe you just didn't KNOW you needed a grid this big
It's a bear.
phantom: entertain
these e's are enigmas
i only have 9 ex, that seems low
Same
I only have 6. I think I read there is a big one, but I sure can't find it.
it's a normal word, ex9
can clue if desired
normal for who?
Found another one. Added an E on a ex6
just found a 6/7 set
Hurshy, does it come off the 8?
just finished the e's
normal for anyone, unless they're like... really really uneducated
i don't think so champ as i haven't got an ex8!
LOL
excellent, ruru
thx
is the ex8 also normal?
yes
and the ex9 is too
apparently I need a clue for both
because I must be a moron
ex9 = prove innocent, clear from all blame
KNOWING a word and being able to find it in the grid are two totally different things
thanks
If you add to letters towards the end of the ex 6/36 you'll have it.
yep
two!
thanks champ
that's less normal than the 9
well, I already tried to make ex6/36 more so
i suppose it's the opposite of es8 (not in grid)? people use es8 but not ex8 so much
ah, thanks hursh. that cleared it up. I read "towards the end" as on the end
hey, I grayed another tile finally!
:)
winning!
any guesses on my 2 upper o's?
on7 and on5
or maybe ox5 and 6 pair
I have on5/12 but no 7
heavy beast minders
no, have the ox set
on7 is one version of the cranky/prickly word
that on7 is almost on my nemesis list
That's what I needed...ha!
and I thought it was a phantom because I was only looking one direction
ot4
Agree about the on...
that's it, not sure how missed it other than wasn't looking that way
anyone done with N?
nope, 5 left
3 here
well found 1
did you ever find that x, champ?
No. I have 5-6-5
same
same
well, found 2 e's when looking for i's
whatever works!
i have all the x's
tener
scuse me
is it another 5?
chat is racing away from me!
5, 6, 5, 7
i decided to ignore it....hello all....
that's why I ignore it if I'm playing at the flip and sometimes first pass in the morning
thanks bea, first try
7! oh my
pen!
thanks bea
carla!
did someoe say there are 9 ex's? have found 7
at least 9, yeah
11 from upper E. I need 2 3rd row e's so it's possible there are some more EX but I doubt.
oh yeah i forgot i added that ex8. ok so my last top right is ex also then
all those kids glued to their cells are't te 6's?
come on, you know enable is pre te4 in that meaning
hurshy do you have ex4 that is an abbreviated word?
ummmm idx
yes
the corporate one
yep, that. did you get the 7 champ mentioned. like an et6.
feels like everything is in sets or we talked about it
hmmm
ok thanks yeah it was that 7
phantom: transient
yeah, I typed that earlier just to be sure.
mmm - don't have an et 6 nor an ex7 -- looking, ty
the et6 looks poetic
you might say it always looks poetic
found - ty again
I never seem to find the long words without the stats
argh, one away on the S too
I can never find them with the stats, I have to just stumble onto them
snarf is obviously a word
I tried that too
me too
phantom: arthritic
i got stiffed on that word too
har har har
that is no phantom
is there an against-something word or a before-something word? missing one A
I have 3 AE, are there more?
idk i'm missing one A! lol, i have 3 too
I still need 5 a's
I have 3 but am still missing 4 words there.
oh, found the dog one
have it
how about one missing W
I still need 3 but now just need 2 A
My last was a door decoration, hurshy
oho, got it, two wh5s
thanks
wr 6 maybe, hurshy?
she found hers, but I still need 2. have wr6 though.
the darn birds. they're on my nemesis list too.
wr x4
5 normal words
i found an an6.36
2 wh, 4 wr, the last one i found was the non-normal wh5
I literally can never see those birds.
i need that bea!
yay i got it thanks!!!!
thx Bea!
yw
thanks bea for when I someday find it
same!
there we go, didn't take as long as I though
thought
look at the points
now still one A
finished the 9s!!!!
bea, when you said arthritic wasn't a phantom, were you making a joke that it is very much real in you or that there is a similar word here?
real in my life
gotcha
I still can't believe one who passes gas never made it onto enable
is C the most difficult tile today
still need 6, but no
It is to me! Well, that and all the dang T's
well i still need 5 and that is the most i need from any tile
I still need 5 + 6 T's
was there a big F?
finally found that an 6 - down to 130, so breakfast :)
i have an fa8 and fr8
both normal
but also, still need 2 F
oh got one F and it was a 7, have fa7 and fr7 now :D
I have the fa8. just found an FR7 and tried to make it more so to no avail
There's an fr 8
found an FR8
oh, finished the F
Greyed the A, finally.
awesome. still need 1.
what F do you think i have missed, hokie?
do you have the fr7?
let's see, hokie might miss... ar5/12... or one of the 3 ar6/18
Carla, my last was ar 6/18, the 2nd one.
oh, I bet FR6
yes have fr7, do need fr6
thanks got it!
it's a weird version of fr4 bro
ok, do not have ar5/12, thx
phantom: crwth
ooh finished top E
wtg
well, that A took way too long
Es Eliminated!!!!!!
my last center E was much ea6 than i expected...
now one O on the bottom
still need 2 + 2 e's
oooo just remembered ia6/21 is a word
extend oc5 for a 7
well, I tried that and then stopped. but that's the one, thanks.
phantom: intoxicate
FW!
Thank you hursh! Gotta run for a bit. BBL for last 55.
huzzah!
only 40 left here ðŸ˜
20 for me
good job phae
4-4-15-11-5-1 umm, that's very bad
2-3-3-7-5 lol
9s are ce, ex, or, re x2, th
found a 4 ðŸ˜
pretty sure you have the first 3 of those hokie, and the latter 3 are all normal
must be another RE
phae are you taking off or did you want to help us poor mortals
first re9 is to say again, repeat
second is lawyer fees or things preteens have to wear in their mouths at night
ok, it's the first one but wondering if I have the root
root is it7
ah, thanks
the more common version
aha and 2nd i word 3rd row is a related 7
that's the first tile I grayed!
woot woot
dang, i thought maybe i had my last N with neato but no such luck
2 g's, have you finished that?
no, i need 3 g
I always think bulls should be gorers
and cows should be mooers
ooh monkeyed a gr5
and cats meowers
i guess we'd be adding an awful lot of words to the dictionary if we allowed all the -er words that make sense to us
well, I only have one gr5 and it's a very regular word, so I guess I need to look there
yeah this one is gr5/16
ooh oooh ooooooh gr7 and 8
related to the 5 you just mentioned
oh yeah, we've had that 5 before
yeah, have those
bottom row grey!
there's another 8 if you don't have
oh then um do you have the other gr8
and gr6 (normal)
and last gr is a 4
there are two go, 4 and 6
some places have gr8 burgers than others
I do not have a gr6. will look.
gaaah what can this N be???
I still have no idea on a normal GR6
it is a person who runs a food store
geez, thanks
oHO in8 was my last i word!
still need 3 i's
well maybe that is one of them
and did you see earlier when i found ia6?
it is
I got that from the chat when I got here
in7 is another one, first in in the list
I think I've hit babble blindness. guess I will make lunch
lunch! good idea
ok, have acquired midday sustenance
anyone know... 5 ro or 6?
aHA
there are 5 ro. got the other R from there at last
that leaves R N S, 5 C and 6 T
well then i should ask... 6 ri, or 7?
got my S!!!!
I'm back and found my last R in the 4th col to gray the whole thing
oh, there's my last 5th col R, but still need 6 C's
ok but did you finish the top R? i need one there
top left? need 2.
ah
well i got totally stuck after finding my S
and need 1 bottom left
phae said earlier there are 37 RE's. I need to recount mine.
i need one more re8
from the top left
I have 35
ok then i need RE also
how many RE8 have you got ruru
all the ones I have from there are plural
god dang it.. it was a plural
that s on the left caused me grief all day
but how many? i have 8 re8
I've already done it but today's grid is the kind to scan through your list and just try all options, without looking at the grid.
8 re 8
me too, ruru
ok so mine is NOT an 8
so i need one RE8. is it upper or lower is the question.
the first 3 re8 all come in a row
unless my one missing R comes between them
have those, but I have those R's gray
glad this one is over.. tough grid again
well done, ruru
buries again
people who are on a fixed income - from french
i know you have the one after that
people who are older and done working
no idea on a french one
teaches an old dog... old tricks again
I think it's the french one if you are cluing in order
if you didn't know what the frenchy one meant you might think it were landlords
ah, that's my 2 there. so now my other R is not an RE
but mine is :(
do you have the re4 babblet?
well i thought i did but turns out no
which is portuguese/brazilian coins
no that wasn't the one it was a later re4
down after "keeps"
was going to say there's another re4 babblet. but you had the a5.
yeah but i thought i had put that in
so must have just mistyped or something
why isn't rhotic on enable??
now if i can get this blasted N that will just leave C and T
I try it every single time it's in the grid
what's rhotic
it has to do with language
rhino porn?
lol
like UK and boston are non-rhotic
1-1-2-5-3
that's dang it all stats
we are missing lots of C and T 7s and 8s, is my conclusion
29 still here. 2-1-12-10-4 I should just quit now
I have E2 i3 N4 T4 S3 E2 R T4 C6
there's a difference between listing and quitting
oh, found my R
yes, normally, but in grids like this I struggle to find the bigs even with the list.
there are no NA words, is the first thing i have discovered with the list
there IS an ne8 so that is what i need
is it new?
yes
did you get the ne8?
not me
it's like that ex8
ah, thanks, had just tried similar
found another N
and an N4 ðŸ˜
now 1-1-10-10-3
ok done with Cs. one cr8 i missed was normal. the rest of what i missed was weird
is there more than one cr8?
yes
more wrinkly and a standard judgment
I have the wrinkly one
what cr8 will you use to decide which hair dryer to buy ?
I'm goign to be honest, I thought that was a phantom all dang day
and was trying to make different forms of it
I still couldn't see how it was made. but now I can.
was going down
turned on basketball now
who is playing?
VT and NCSU. I just turned it on and there's under 3 min left
we are up by 12
there, done at last
huzzah
hi again - don't have the wrinkly cr 8 -- points?
45
8.45
it's like the gr
bea, have you heard of cr6 greens (not in grid)?
not sure without knowing the word
more folds nan
take the cr8 and make a root word
I grew up hearing my family talk about and making them but would never try because I was picky. looks like it is an appalachian type of watercress
drawing a blank on that cr 8
only gr 8 i have is getting bigger
okay, yes, i've heard of them.
some food is gr8 than others, nan
very high in nutrition
found - a 2fer
i need a break.
ty everyone
I need a break too. after this game I will do some paint touch-ups.
ci 7/32 please?
Has to do with a kind of fruit
have that one, ty - looking for the first one
help with ex8 or ne8 please
found ex8/70

38 for later
note
sorry
these r' are endless
I have ended them
and I'm very smug about it
i still need 3
i see your smugness
but I think I'll list for my last 24
found one. thought it was a phantom all day
did you finish the c?
yes
I should've started at the bottom of the list. can't find the first ci7 nor the ci7/8 set(?)
one who writes a ticket
so a weirder version of ci5?
yes.
that just seems unnecessary. thanks.
put a vowel in the middle
i still have 78 words left. no idea where they are...
a lot of hiders today
looked up the ci7/8. of course there's no def.
reminds me of harry potter
my last C - maybe I don't have one and that's why I'm so slow here
its a stringed instrument of old
ci7.32 do you have that one?
oh, I think we had that fairly recently and I didn't know it then when someone clued it as "the lute"
finished with the c
well, my last middle e was the sexy word which I know I already had.
carla, do they make gf ramen?
yes, there's a brand that I'm drawing a blank on. costco has a big bag.
but not like the cheap ramen from college with the seasoning packet. basically just a block of noodles.
yes, i'm familiar with those as my grands are part korean
the brand is Rice Ramen by Lotus Foods
Er7/40…….clue please
i've been eating a lot of ramen lately. probably what's for dinner.
make the er5 an adj
add the facial twitch at the end
Tyvm
Back again. Will be half in/out...watching the Texans/Ravens.
I'm watching US soccer. we are currently losing to Slovenia.
same here, champ
We're the underdogs in this, but I'm hoping we make a game of it.
also thought I had the in6 (college students working in the summer) all day but apparently didn't.
Hope it's a good one, Bea!
the ravens should get penalties for the way their fans dress.
Ha! Carla, I hate when I find out the word I assumed I had wasn't actually there.
have you seen the bengals fans, bea?
yes. i have to say, football fans are just weird
Well it's cold as heck there today, so hopefully they're covered up.
One of my pet peeves is seeing someone else's boobs. Put 'em away, chicky!
lol
down to my 8 T's
Go carla, go!
have looked up quite a few. I don't feel bad about not finding them.
i have 59 t's and 2 r's
oyvey
I'm at 54, so going to do what I can with the list.
oops, just accidently closed the list tab so now I have to open and copy pasta again
well there's a plural
annoying!
I did better than usual on getting them today
are there more than three AE words?....hello all....also watching the game....
which football?
I'm super blind to the C's, and it's making me feel like an idiot. My have more martini.... :)
just 3 AE pen!
the C's aren't easy
the houston/baltimore game...
ty, carla....
doh, there's another plural
Go Texans!
tiro
oops...
yes, go Texans!
well there's another plural
and I had to look it up because I either wasn't seeing it or thought i had it
easy to miss those in a grid this size...
So true!
one T7 left now
but this soccer is almost over so I am distracted
shew, that was a slog indeed
The cute eTrade commercial!
