1:59 am

yes, I took it easy and I do feel a little better this morning. Slept well too.

i am so happy to hear that. i slept well too, nearly 8 hours straight. but i cheated. took some valium to calm the nerves and muscles. ma4 all the difference.

2:02 am

that is not cheating, that is self care. Well done, darling.

2:03 am

this is a lovely grid. Big, but it flows like crazy.

2:05 am

thank-you. doesn't a full night's rest make a difference?

2:06 am

i loved it. the words just jumped off the screen.

2:06 am

omg yes. *grins* When I was young and stupid, I didn't think so. But now I know.

2:08 am

when we were young and stupid, a full night's sleep wasn't important. * giggle * we had the stamina of a bull.

2:09 am

so true. Lol, you know the little joke: "Dear Sleep, I am so so sorry that I pushed you away and did not want you when I was young. I know better now. Please come back."

2:15 am

it's yiddish for lazing around

8:29 am

8:30 am

8:30 am

hi doren

I thought th7 was a brand name

8:34 am

th 7/36

36 points, no others

any other clues? have tried things like thermador and theramin which are both bigger than 7, I know

8:35 am

brand name with that beginning, carla

insulated container

oh, duh. lol, thanks

8:36 am

It keeps hot hot and cold cold

8:36 am

it's a word, not a brand name

8:36 am

lol.. love that joke molly

8:36 am

How it know?

I think it might be one of those words like xerox and band-aid, that "lost" their brand

kleenex

8:37 am

Google says it is a brand name

8:37 am

how do it know

formica

8:38 am

I have heard that joke from a Cajun and she uses "how it know" which works, especially with the Cajun accent. She tells great T-Paul jokes too

8:39 am

Damn autocorrect...Ti Paul jokes

8:43 am

<---top row grey

I have a lot left on top row, but what is my K and why isn't it kois?

8:44 am

same here carla.

8:44 am

another brand name ko4

I know, what's wrong with kois. I know lots of people who have them.

8:44 am

the one I have is ko4/9

ah, the eyeliner color, thanks

now just need 2 S, 3 O, and 6 S for top row. LOL

8:45 am

Isn't koi plural by itself?

8:46 am

sp 6/24 - 7/36 is another I thought was brand name

always miss those, thanks

probably, molly

Do all fish take no plurals? now that I think of it, trout, salmon,

8:46 am

wait till you find the sp8

8:46 am

Probably because they are so hideous to look at Carla

kois are carps. yeah, no plural on either.

8:48 am

groupers are plural

giant grouper are crazy

crazy looking

8:50 am

The other so is a compound word

1:51 pm

but don't be upset about not seeing it

ok, I get the first part

2-11-16-7-1

guess I need to look at peri's 8's list

1:53 pm

3-11-8-2

or molly's

1:56 pm

That so8 is hurshy today

1:56 pm

monkeyed the so8l it is a twisty one

looks like I need sp8

what's wrong with hurshy? migraine?

1:59 pm

yes

that stinks

any clue for the sp8?

2:00 pm

build off a 5

2:00 pm

Male stuff

2:00 pm

thanks, village. got it.

and found a 7 while looking, so that S gray now. just need one on the upper left for the whole top row.

2:02 pm

still need 3 s's on the left

2:03 pm

ah, found 2 more s's

35 left here. gotta get ready for golf. 2-11-16-6

2:24 pm

22 to go....

2:24 pm

3-10-7-2

2:25 pm

i've been pecking at this all day and i still have 197 left

2:45 pm

It is a horrible grid. I don't know how anyone enjoys them this big.

I like them when they are big because they are more interesting - I don't intend to finish, I just like to find where the density is, if you get what I mean. I find small grids annoying.

I have 201 left. It means there is a cluster I haven't found yet- at least one

Now I have 197 left also.

now I have 188 left. I will stop when I have to start to work and call it a day.

Remember the 700+ word grid?

it's the process more than the outcome

dado

oops- freebie.

now I have 160 left.

Sorry I kill the chat every time. Probably because I answer myself.

3:23 pm

There are lots of players that talk to themselves in the chat.

3:24 pm

The chat hasn't been very active of late.

3:28 pm

much less so than in a while, agreed.

3:29 pm

nice to see you Bea and Kaplan

3:29 pm

Good to see you dc

3:29 pm

:)

3:29 pm

I have 307 to go

3:30 pm

still 22 here :)

3:31 pm

nice, moo!

3:31 pm

tx seain, hope you're doing well

3:31 pm

better than in years. I'm back on Paxil for two months now.

22 left? Wow! Are they biggies or fishes?

3:32 pm

not sure I understand the question

3:32 pm

if you mean lengths... 3-10-7-2

3:33 pm

Drugs can be a wonderful thing, dc. Gladd yoou are getting relief.

3:34 pm

yes, glad you're doing well seain

3:34 pm

thanks, y'all :)

3:34 pm

it's nice to smile and laugh again.

I have 157 left . It kills time. I mean 8 letters or 4 letters. It's weird that there aren't 10 or 12 letters wordsin the grid

3:34 pm

I think probably a lot to do with that second row

I'm distracted because my most vulnerable daughter has got into a bit of trouble with an out-of-state DUI.

A true call for help.

3:35 pm

oof

3:35 pm

I'm sorry, Kaplan.

3:35 pm

oh dear. May all go well for her.

3:36 pm

ooh, found 2 words

3:36 pm

I'm glad she called you.

3:37 pm

yes, my mom's DUI is what got her the help she needed with alcohol. May it be so for your daughter.

It kills because of my two daughters she is the one who internalizes failure, and my older daughter is very judgmental.

3:38 pm

hi all, sorry to hear about your daughter

3:38 pm

though a short term failure, it's an opportunity for her to grow and achieve even more.

3:38 pm

hey hursh, hope you noggin is on the mend

3:38 pm

yeah it got better quickly after i took my triptans

3:38 pm

cool cool

3:38 pm

I'm glad to hear that, hurshy.

3:39 pm

well hopefully you can be a calm port in the storm kaplan

3:39 pm

now i get to re-try all the S words i already put in this morning

3:39 pm

that sucks

3:39 pm

I have to usually anyway

3:40 pm

they didn't disappear or anything it's just looking for the last few you end up doing that

3:40 pm

yes, I miss words all the time, but I'm not fond of combing through the list

3:40 pm

ooh i found 2 i had NOT got

3:41 pm

now i am only missing 8 S total

3:41 pm

a celebration is in order, I'll get the cheese

3:41 pm

oooh there's another one!

3:41 pm

I'm down to three S...one of the top left, and two on the bottom

3:41 pm

3-2-2 here

3:42 pm

what's the SP and SW count? that would help

3:42 pm

This is National Farmers Market week in USA. Everyone try to vitis a local market this weekend.

3:42 pm

I have 16 SP

3:42 pm

and 2 SW

3:43 pm

ok thanks then i guess i need SP

3:43 pm

so that would seem to add up

3:43 pm

look at me just assuming no SK, lucky it is true

3:44 pm

oh it was the bathing suit words!

3:44 pm

yeah, you can almost spell the capital of Macedonia, but otherwise, it's a wasteland

3:44 pm

yeah which is funny cause that was today's country in worLdle

3:44 pm

agreed re Macedonia

3:44 pm

that it was

3:44 pm

oh, my daughter plays that

3:45 pm

just 3 si you think? i know you're still missing one up top but... for what you have?

3:45 pm

only have 3 so fare

3:45 pm

far

3:45 pm

sheldom - a rare shell

3:46 pm

and 6 ST?

3:46 pm

I have 6 ST so far

3:46 pm

OH OH i found 2 more SH

3:47 pm

so there are in fact 6 ST and 3 si

3:47 pm

shurrah!

3:47 pm

now i just need 2 from the bottom

3:47 pm

did you get sh5 hebrew afterlife world?

3:48 pm

yeah, just found my missing one tho

3:48 pm

did you put the person-who ending on the olde english sh4?

3:48 pm

apparently an alternate spelling of which no one uses

3:48 pm

oh ok good

3:48 pm

FWs

3:48 pm

wtg grannie!

3:48 pm

ok i have 16 SA and 17 SO

3:49 pm

15 SA

3:49 pm

which do i need more of (if grannie wants to say) or do you have different mool, if not

3:49 pm

and 18 SO

3:49 pm

so i need an SO and you an SA and after that we don't know

3:49 pm

So I'm missing an SA, and you're missing an SO...and then the other one we're possibly both missing

3:50 pm

jinx

3:50 pm

heh

3:51 pm

mind were both sa

3:51 pm

mine

3:51 pm

then i need one of each

3:51 pm

so you're missing an SA too

I think it will get her the help she needs with moods and self esteem and trying too hard to please people. The alcohol part of the restaurant gig- she is a freelancer. She needs a lot of structure now.

3:52 pm

freelance what?

she thinks her life is over at 29.

3:52 pm

mine's been over for awhile but somehow it just keeps going...

Same here.

3:53 pm

got any guesses for me mool?

3:53 pm

She has no idea what is out there.

3:53 pm

let me look, perhaps the sa5/6 combo that isn't a plural

3:54 pm

I assume they're related

3:54 pm

it can't be a combo if i need one sa and one so

3:54 pm

the second doesn't have a def

3:54 pm

i mean i could have missed half a combo...

3:54 pm

yeah, sorry you're right

3:54 pm

so I'd check an sa5 and see if it'll take another letter...unless you already have it

Except some people's lives do become "over" because of one wrong turn. I would suggest becoming a cat lady if you have a choice. Too much agony otherwise. Besides, it's the childless cat ladies who are going to get Kamala over the edge

3:55 pm

or it could be the sa7

3:55 pm

not related to the 6

3:55 pm

i have a 7

3:55 pm

i have two sa7

3:55 pm

sa7 then

3:55 pm

one is briny

3:55 pm

oh, if you have two, then not that

3:55 pm

i am a cat lady!!!!

3:55 pm

Me too!

3:56 pm

I have two cats.

3:56 pm

I'm a cat man

3:56 pm

but ok i prob need to add a letter to a 5 like you said

3:56 pm

I have children but they have cats too.

3:56 pm

yeah, maybe that last sa?

3:56 pm

got it! ok that leaves the SO then

3:56 pm

do you have all your 8s?

3:57 pm

for the whole grid? no, i've only done a couple of letters so far

3:57 pm

otherwise perhaps so5/10?

I have 3 cats but I have two adult children, so I am not the audience The Vance is talking to. In Yiddish, a "vantz" is a bedbug.

3:57 pm

i have one SO8

3:57 pm

i thought of a great insult for Vance

3:57 pm

"you put the sicko in sycophant"

3:57 pm

So you'd get three votes then Kaplan under his plan

3:57 pm

:)

3:57 pm

your children just one each, assuming they don't have children of their own yet

3:58 pm

I would get zero votes tho

3:58 pm

though I do have a child

Funny that bedbug would be a Yiddish word that I know. A daughter of the Lower East Side. No I wouldn't get 3 votes because I have children, and one of those has a child and a half.

3:58 pm

then why don't you get votes

3:58 pm

not a merken

3:59 pm

what is a merken

3:59 pm

but JD thinks people with children should get more votes

3:59 pm

american

3:59 pm

yeah, he's a POS politically.

Childless Democrats are the Vantz's scapegoat. Imagine, a party led by people who don't have children of their own.

3:59 pm

ohhhhh

4:00 pm

childless cat lady here so i'm a lower class citizen according to Vance

4:00 pm

ok so is there just one SO8 or is there another one?

4:00 pm

I would frame it more like...I have significant world view differences to him...and he appears to be an opportunist rather than a larder

4:00 pm

just one

4:00 pm

I'm too childless and with cats

4:00 pm

sorry shirl, but in my world you count

4:00 pm

and you too seain

4:01 pm

it's so dumb too because i care very much about future people even though i do not have kids of my own.

4:01 pm

We all count!

4:01 pm

leader, not a larder...that would be weird if he was used to store food

4:01 pm

explain the rather than a larder, moo?

4:01 pm

yeah sorry, I'm using three screens on my laptop, and sometimes my finger placement gets off when I'm touch-typing on my left screen for some reason

4:02 pm

bwhahahahahah larder/ leader

4:02 pm

ah, yeah, not a great leader.

It's funny that you would have to explain that to the Vantz. There's a great meme with his face and Sarah Palin's hair and glasses and the quote is "I can see Appalachia from my house."

4:02 pm

ONE SO8 OR TWO??? i am on tenterhooks waiting to know!!!!

4:02 pm

one

Herr Trump couldn't have picked a better idiot.

4:02 pm

ok and i have an so5/10 also

I don't have any so8s so I will go there

Oh, now I do.

4:03 pm

so 6/21? there are two of them

4:03 pm

otherwise I'd start looking for 4s

4:03 pm

ok, 4s it is

4:04 pm

stats for the lone E?

4:04 pm

en5/10

I have an so8.

4:04 pm

thx hurshy, that's finally NBT for me

4:05 pm

2 so8

4:05 pm

yeah, that e took me longer than it should of to find

4:05 pm

MOOOOOOL lied to me???

4:05 pm

oh sorry...there are 2

4:05 pm

duh

4:05 pm

tx Bea for checking my work

An so8, two daughters, one grandchild, one grandchild on the way, and a kid having a tough time.

4:05 pm

i feel betrayed

4:06 pm

ok mine is a past tense what's the other

4:06 pm

I know, I shall throw myself on a proverbial sword

4:06 pm

something you had earlier hursh

4:06 pm

what you had this morning

4:06 pm

a headache?

4:06 pm

in a sense

4:06 pm

aha thanks!

4:06 pm

yes

You mean ate, or found or what?

4:06 pm

oh, the French/Canadian spelling of that word the EN5 Fishy

4:07 pm

well that is a silly word

4:07 pm

I'm bilingual

4:07 pm

well you don't have to be a so8 about it hursh

Don't give any clues that are too direct to the word. There are so many times that chat has just given the word away. No fun.

4:07 pm

well i didn't MEAN to

4:07 pm

I normally get accused of being too obtuse

Sonovabitch? Sonavitch?

4:07 pm

oh, that's a compound I've not heard in decades.

4:08 pm

i was asking if that's what they meant, to clarify

4:08 pm

well not so much accused, but more tagged

4:08 pm

which I actually don't mind

I like obtuse. I don't like "vowel, squiggly letter, sometimes vowel"

4:09 pm

my grandfather was really into cryptic crosswords, I am only now beginning to appreciate them

4:09 pm

like a puzzle in a puzzle

4:09 pm

elds

4:09 pm

I gave up on crosswords 43 years ago.

4:09 pm

GAH scuse me

I like cryptic crosswords but have forgotten how to do them

4:10 pm

that's the trick, I think you have to learn the lingo so to speak...and I haven't done that yet, at least not beyond a few common things

4:10 pm

have a ko4, what's the other K?

exactly. Don't just give it away-

4:10 pm

it's not the fish

4:10 pm

i know

4:11 pm

it's cabbage

4:11 pm

:)

4:11 pm

oooo go it, it's the eyeliner

4:11 pm

at least to certain people

The clues are in halves, and you have to figure out what it is. Someone taught me years ago and then I did a whole book, but my brain is older and dumber

4:11 pm

found it

4:11 pm

missing one lower O, 2 middle E

4:12 pm

I love that cabbage

4:12 pm

as usual annoyed that "omni" doesn't count

4:12 pm

missing the O, and one E

I don't have time to figure it out

4:12 pm

omni doesn't work unless it gets on the bus

4:13 pm

yeah, and there are often action words that tell you what to do

4:13 pm

OmniRide is the name of the bus system in Prince William County, Virginia

It's a Brave New World, but the other so8 will have to elude me. Can someone tell me tomorrow?

4:13 pm

that lower right keeps le4ing my brain to Dominion, a common word where I live.

4:13 pm

So omni takes the bus to work would be better methinks

4:14 pm

Finished!

4:14 pm

woohoo!

4:14 pm

namaste

4:14 pm

wtg BB

4:14 pm

still 16 left here

4:14 pm

Yay Bea!

4:14 pm

wait you didn't get it even after i clarified that bea and mool meant the headache i had this morning, kap?

4:15 pm

3-7-4-2

4:15 pm

11 different tiles

4:15 pm

great job bea

4:15 pm

thx for that fellow cat lady

4:15 pm

well just as well you kept ah...privating?...on seain

What's the other other? DOn't tell me...

4:16 pm

well there's a literal meaning and a figurative meaning

4:17 pm

the use is the figurative, but the clue we gave was a literal one

4:17 pm

petty is a way to say one SO8

4:17 pm

hursh had one earlier, but is much better now

4:18 pm

stupid A words

4:18 pm

I have 9/14 and ⅜ As so. far

4:18 pm

4:18 pm

i need one left and THREE bottom

4:19 pm

have you got any AO?

4:19 pm

nope

4:19 pm

you might have my missing one on the bottom

I must leave with 152 left to conquer

4:20 pm

what makes you think that

4:20 pm

or, 282 words found :)

4:20 pm

my amazing powers of deduction hursh

4:21 pm

it's not certain, but it could be the case

4:21 pm

be well, Kaplan

4:21 pm

found my a on the left

4:22 pm

what was it

4:22 pm

an abbreviated word

4:23 pm

not sure it would have been accepted on conjunction junction

4:23 pm

hmmm... not AWOL

4:23 pm

oh i know what you mean, i have that

4:24 pm

so the others are more standard fare for the most part

4:24 pm

hmmmmmmm

4:24 pm

just one ae?

4:24 pm

amorel - a mushroom with questionable values

4:25 pm

just one ae

4:25 pm

I have one on the left, with one to go over there.

4:25 pm

THE TREE

4:26 pm

it never gets old...

4:26 pm

that was my first A word, but one of my names means keeper of the al5 grove in Old French.

4:27 pm

bottom i have 4 am and 2 ar6

4:28 pm

man, that really is a lot of Ws

4:28 pm

well then, you don't have what I am missing probably

4:29 pm

I have 4 am and 3 ar

4:29 pm

so much for your powers of deduction

4:29 pm

I never claimed to be good at it

4:29 pm

amazing could also mean unspeakably bad

4:30 pm

ahh

4:30 pm

I have an ar7 from there also.

4:30 pm

true that re amazing, moo

4:30 pm

yes, I have an ar7 from there

4:30 pm

TWO SEVENS

4:31 pm

As Axed!

4:31 pm

actually hursh, when you told me, you said that you were missing 3

4:31 pm

oh duh, i missed the easy one :)

4:31 pm

but then i found another one, the last am

4:32 pm

14 to go...at this rate I should finish around 5 hours after the flip

4:32 pm

lol

4:32 pm

amazingly - there's that word again - I still have 3 m's and 3 d's to go

4:32 pm

almost half my remaining words

4:33 pm

i will tackle M then

4:35 pm

ah, found one

4:36 pm

the lightning strikes soon after in celebration

4:36 pm

well i caught up to 3 Ms but now you only have 2

4:36 pm

m's massacred

4:37 pm

or none

4:37 pm

yeah, none...no lightning for those last two

4:37 pm

now the D, which promises to be more challenging

4:39 pm

if you hold a bunny, wouldn't you dehop it?

4:39 pm

hopefully not permanently

4:40 pm

no, purely temporary

4:40 pm

I count rabbits when I go walking

4:40 pm

today was a 12 lagomorph walk

4:41 pm

I'd count prairie dogs, but there are really too many, I'd be standing there for 30 minutes

4:41 pm

LOL

4:41 pm

I remember the first time I saw prairie dogs in the wild. Quite the site.

4:41 pm

we don't have those in the East.

4:41 pm

phantom: deposit, and i love the word dehop

4:41 pm

indeed, they are expanding their operations currently into one of the city parks, so that'll end at some point

4:42 pm

tx shirl

4:43 pm

avoir du po4 :)

4:43 pm

phantom: death

4:44 pm

if only

4:44 pm

apparently that french phrase got corrupted

4:44 pm

i thought it was so funny, it's like, you're fat, so you should HAVE SOME PEAS

4:44 pm

imagine that!

4:44 pm

it was bound to happen

4:44 pm

but apparently it was originally poids

4:45 pm

i like it better my way

4:45 pm

you need TO HAVE SOME PEAS

4:45 pm

ah, spelled as pronounced.

4:45 pm

I like peas

4:46 pm

j'aime pois

4:48 pm

found my last r...onto the final 10

4:50 pm

2-5-3 This seems doable

4:58 pm

i must be missing some obvious stuff, missing 7 of the D with 30

5:00 pm

there are some weird words there

5:00 pm

I have some odd ones already

5:00 pm

well feel free to clue any weirdos

5:02 pm

da6 & 7 - sounds a bit like a Doctor Who villainous race, ending with a lisp

5:02 pm

oh found one normal one

5:02 pm

thanks gille!!!!!!

5:02 pm

that was one of the weird ones I was thinking of

5:03 pm

past tense of da4 babblet

5:03 pm

that's the other d tho

5:03 pm

yeah i have that from the other D if that's the one you mean

5:03 pm

slang for staying on campus at college?

5:04 pm

oh right - sorry

5:04 pm

you have the do8?

5:04 pm

to have the qualities or appearance of a fool

5:04 pm

sadly i have that 6 mool

5:04 pm

i do NOT have an 8

5:04 pm

yep there's an 8

5:05 pm

common word, and it stands alone

5:05 pm

if you add a gerund, it means overbearing

5:05 pm

oooh got it

5:05 pm

and i didn't have the 6 that is part of it, either!

5:05 pm

now i am down to 2 there and one from the right!

5:06 pm

I need 0 on the right, and 3 on the second column

5:07 pm

did you get the past tense of handed out the cards

5:07 pm

yep

5:07 pm

or removing a metal

5:08 pm

hmm what could you have missed that i have then

5:08 pm

yep

5:08 pm

metal? metal?

5:08 pm

THOSE ARE MY MISSING TWO

5:08 pm

nm, found my d's

5:08 pm

5:08 pm

5:08 pm

5:09 pm

HWPLO

5:09 pm

5:09 pm

LEFT COL GREY!!!!

5:09 pm

nice one

5:10 pm

yes i have that one gillie

5:10 pm

if there is a DW i don't have that

5:10 pm

nope

5:10 pm

no

5:10 pm

4 dr?

5:11 pm

yes

5:11 pm

do you have the one that looks like it's about hair

5:11 pm

well then it must be de, and if it is a prefix then

5:11 pm

hair... hair...

5:11 pm

or the obscure tree

5:11 pm

no i don't think i do

5:12 pm

skin but not hair

5:12 pm

tree?

5:12 pm

that's the one you said you have

5:12 pm

(the tree, I mean)

5:12 pm

oh ok

5:12 pm

the only reason I remember it is because I knew a guy from Guyana who had it as his last name, though he was of Indian heritage

5:12 pm

so maybe hair then

5:13 pm

yeah

5:13 pm

is it like de- is a prefix?

5:13 pm

yes

5:14 pm

it could mean removing curls, for instance (but it doesn't)

5:14 pm

YAY thanks!!!!!

5:15 pm

yw

5:15 pm

found my last L

5:15 pm

i haven't even started L yet!

5:16 pm

i see we can't reverse the parts of so8 to get an he8

5:16 pm

gotta save some of the fun for later

5:16 pm

erk

5:17 pm

are there any HW words?

5:17 pm

not sure I'd want to see that

5:17 pm

well I have one H left, but none so far...and there's only one I know anyway, and it's not in this board

5:18 pm

no hw's

5:18 pm

phew

5:18 pm

H's handled

5:18 pm

odd one to finish that tile... WPPO

5:18 pm

0-3-1

5:19 pm

what was the odd one, i still need four lol

5:19 pm

rhymed with another word in the board

5:19 pm

oh well, if it rhymes with SOME OTHER RANDOM WORD, that's super helpful

5:20 pm

loner's skin?

5:20 pm

found my Ps

5:20 pm

0-2

5:21 pm

om5?

5:21 pm

pondering the loner's skin...

5:21 pm

ooh gillie that is my missing O

5:21 pm

got it

5:21 pm

we have it sometimes

5:21 pm

tx, just the w left

5:21 pm

anagram of bin laden

5:21 pm

i mean i get the skin part but

5:22 pm

yeah, sounds like a japanese word, but isn't

5:22 pm

well then maybe i do NOT get the skin part

5:22 pm

it's not a literal clue if that helps hursh

5:22 pm

maybe more a portmanteau :)

5:22 pm

oh i figured that much

5:22 pm

there's a weird we5, and a few weird wh5

5:23 pm

okay, let me look

5:23 pm

weird is a weird w5 btw :)

5:23 pm

phantoms: whelk, whelp

5:24 pm

lawrence would be sad

5:25 pm

the we5 has to do with an Austrian skiing technique (not a word I know)

5:25 pm

i can make too many weird w5s and they aren't right

5:26 pm

well

5:26 pm

ends with same syllable as a very loud mountain singing technique

5:27 pm

tx, that did it

5:27 pm

fw

5:27 pm

i googled it and found something close enough to get it :D

5:27 pm

I normally wouldn't have bothered finishing, but I was already very close

5:27 pm

good job mool!!!

5:28 pm

yeah, that was large

5:28 pm

Congrats!

5:28 pm

tx, and tx for the assists

5:28 pm

I'm actually finished (if you hadn't guessed) - went to the list at about 50 left

5:29 pm

well i must be thinking all wrong about the loner's skin because i tried h*de4 in morewords and it only has hypode4

5:29 pm

Well I saw the first two letters on 4 of the eights

5:30 pm

that last one of course, and maybe a couple more here and there where I saw references of some sort. And of course comparing notes with you hursh assisted

5:30 pm

for the loner, I think he meant a different 2-syllable word with the same first syllable

5:30 pm

I did consider crab skin

5:30 pm

the first syllable is the syllable i couldn't figure out lol

5:31 pm

rhymes with a skin-related word also in the grid

5:32 pm

are you just talking about he4?? and 5 perhaps??

5:32 pm

cause i have those

5:32 pm

i was tryna make something longer

5:32 pm

yes, the he5

5:32 pm

sigh

5:33 pm

well now i feel like a dope

5:33 pm

5:33 pm

5:34 pm
