Wait - I don't know why I called re8 x 4 - I only have re8 x 3

fireflies and poofing.
just got re9
I cannot see the E and the S on the bottom row - can anyone give me stats, please?
Found the S, now just the E needed
Aaaand found the E, so no stats needed :)
does anyone know why my points are going down when i finish every puzzle??
... do you mean in the "Who's Hot" column of the rankings?
yes.. this is the second time the points have gone down..
... that's the sum of your scores for the last fourteen days .... .... which means that every day the score from fifteen days ago drops off ... ... so if you got more points on the day fifteen days ago than you got today (actually yesterday) then that total goes down ....
oh . i just thought if you finish a puzzle you stay at the most points. kind of sucks lol
thank you for explaining it!
... I misspoke a bit ... it's the last 30 days not the last 14 ... that's for another game ... ... .... you'd particularly notice it if you finished the game 30 days ago but then don't finish it today ... ... ... the other columns are accumulating totals from when you joined the game so they never decline ..
There is an explanation for how the rankings are calculated at the top of the rankings page. I have always thought that the rankings here are a little weird.
hi all. help with S and T on bottom row please
the thing is a always finish a game. so i assumed i would stay at top points its a little thing but drives me crazy lol
If you finish every grid, your points in the third column should stay at 1030. If they didn't, contact Dr. God and ask why.
... the s is the third person of a verb which involves leaking water ... haven't found the t
The t is the fly
ty Molly
... yeah ... thanks Molly ... don't know why I was refusing to type that word .... ... ah well ... half way ... must be off ... ...
Sometimes we just don't see a word.
Nature of the game.
thats what i thought molly . had them go down when i didnt finish but never when i did.. does anyone know how to contact him . his page on fb looks like he really doesnt go there much
almost tapestry
ivesy, there's a contact button at the very bottom of this page

woot! found the 9.
well, HOET and 58 left. going to get a move on. 16-16-18-7-1
bye hokie
have a good day :)
oh ... i missed out on hokie's phantoms
woot, bottom row grey!
i don't have the lone s below
Hokey's Phantoms sounds like some twisted new show on Netflix. Like Baby Reindeer.
The lone s is an easy plural.
thanks
It's not like you to miss a word like that. You must be all about getting your kilts ready for your trip. 😊
ohh found the sh6
We must have that word a lot because it's in my memory bank
same, thanks babble for teaching me things
Maybe because I associate it with the Streisand movie.

Hi all. Missing the bottom row E word and S word and T word. Any clues welcome.

as usual I think a dictionary that is not full of ethnic slurs would be more palatable. But a new dictionary would mean new babblers and unfamiliar words.
I think the enable list is free which is why a lot of word game developers used it. I'm afraid if he had to pay for a different one he would just shut the site down instead. And how would it bring new babblers? Did you mean babblets?
Even an updated dictionary would contain the ethnic slurs. Dictionaries don't discern on the basis of offense. They list words and definitions.
There's no reason he couldn't edit words out of the dictionary - but he really has no incentive to do so
yeah, but I think some word games do not allow them, which means they are using a different word list or dictionary.
Squardle does exclude offensive words, even though its base dictionary (an official Scrabble dictionary) has them
Weird because they are words whether they offend or not
I know nothing about coding and making a website game, so considering squaredle is new and this game is 20 years old, I don't know how hard/how much work it would be.
the spelling bee doesn't allow swear words. It does allow bibinbop
Speaking as a former software developer, I'm sure it would be very easy
spelling bee "dictionary" has a lot of issues. I think the editor just made his own list of words with his own biases (i.e. NY friendly words).
But I think he generates a lot of games ahead of time, so there could be a lag (as there was when he added "spam" in)
he definitely does that but the spam saga dragged on for years and he runs out of pregenerated games like once a year.
ooh, found my last 2 R's
It took a long time before he added "spam", but not *years* before it really took
And he really just needed to make sure he coordinate the change to the front end with newly generated games
well, for years it said it was not in the grid even though it clearly was and then it started accepting it
I'm sure it wasn't that long - just seemed like it
well, on the flip side there's no way I started playing this 19 years ago and yet I did
I started in 2006
Both of you well before he added spam into the dictionary, in short
yes, and I remember spam being "not in grid" for a long time. but I don't have a great sense of time. ðŸ˜
hello all...
pen! just in time for me leaving. going to ride my bike around before the next rain. 18 left for later. 4-5-6-2-1
carla!
have a nice ride....i did my walk this morning....
14 left here.... 5-5-2-1-1
hi mool...
hey pen, happy Thursday
same to you, mool...
I did mean babblets. And these things are words, but they play on stereotypesiWhen you look these words up in a dictionary, it is made clear that it is offensive.I think the online dictionary does that. Words have meanings and in these times, we know the damage they can do. I don't know the answer to what should be done as I believe in free speech. I just don't like to be confronted with these words when I am playing something that is only a game.
but this comes up every time there's an offensive word in the grid. i think it should be clear after years of it that doc does not plan to remove them, unless he has not noticed the many many times it's been discussed. i would bet some people have also emailed him about it directly though. so like... what is the point of complaining about it every time if you know that's just how it's gonna be?
I have let a lot of it go by and have not mentioned anything about it in months. Or even a year. I certainly have not complained every time.
none of the players can do anything about it so if you really must say something each time it seems like emailing doc repeatedly would be more logical.
perhaps others have complained, it seems like usually someone does - i don't keep track of who
Unless there is somebody other than myself.
words are words. if the word in question is the wo4/9 it's not in common usage but it is still an important word. definitely worth knowing just for its place in history.
Its a world of ha** and all its variants.
wow.
Speaking of, is anyone going to watch the spectacle tonight, or do you choose not to be masochistic? Trainwreck.
the ha4/5, 5/12, 6/21, and 5/12?
there is literally no point in watching that unless for some reason you actually enjoy it
How did we get to the point where criminals are in power. Here's my vision: put them (and you know who they are) in one of Bezo's rockets, let them play strip poker, and go to Mars and never come back
if it gets ratings that will just make them think they still have people fooled into thinking that america has a democracy when that's an illusion at this point. unfortunately i suppose they still do have a lot of people fooled.
I sugest Elsbeth, or if you really want to escape, watch What's My Line on You Tube. Times were just as hard, and it was going to break into the 60s, but imagine a game show where people are smart and witty, and use actual deductive reasoning. And no screaming. I'll take the white gloves. Arlene Francis - her kid grew up to be an editor of Tikkun, s noted progressive Jewish magazine.
i've been working my way through "Heartbeat", an 18-season-long British show set in the 60s
Eleanor Roosevelt was a mystery guest on WML, and the panel stood and gave her complete respect.
I don't really want to go back to the 50s because America wasn't great, but I do want to go back to Sid Cesar and Imogene Coca.
there was this funny bit on one of the eps i watched last night... there was this family of italian immigrants to england where the parents had built up a fish & chip restaurant business with also like food trucks that would go around to sell fish & chips in more places. and the dad had just died of a heart attack and his son wants to try a crazy (according to his mother) idea - selling pizza! "pizza is what italian peasants eat! british people aren't going to buy that! they want fish and chips!" but he believes pizza can become popular. and then one of the main characters, who is eating at the restaurant, says, "i had pizza once in Italy".
If anyone wants to read my memoir of growing up in Flushing 1950s-1970s DM me and I will give you the link. Or just tell me here- I don't know if you can DM.
Hurshy I think I heard that plot
it's crazy to think that people in england in the 60s might never have had pizza unless they had been to italy!!!
It's on the evil Amazon with a scam self-publishing company.
there is no DM feature in babble. you could post the link in your profile.
Does anyone read profiles? "Does anyone still wear a hat?"
i mean, if they read this convo, and they are interested, then they would look there for it.
i don't really think there's much other way for you to share it
As Axed!

then it was the one I thought...they're related
to each other? 🤣
aha, the adv
yes
the 2 6s and the 7 (and a 4)
okay, I have 2 E6 but they both go in a set so you probably wouldn't guess them
