3:09 am

sorry

Still working on a fix for 2 things - one - getting clues to run normally and 2 the issue with Babble Expert sending 1 word rather than many

3:12 am

lickety, i repeat myself. you are amazing. on behalf of the many, thank-you for all you do.

3:19 am

my words dont show up in the word list when i type them . for instance i have 3 words so far and only one shows up in list. any one else having this prob?

3:19 am

not here ivesyj

3:21 am

oh well. words dont go to clues, no word list. i guess it may be time to quit babble .. too annoying lol

3:22 am

probably teething problems. Dr God just changed servers.

3:23 am

yes i know . but it kind of hard not knowing what words i put in .

3:24 am

hang in there ives. give it a couple of days and try again. xoxox

3:25 am

thanks grannyrose. i will try

3:53 am

my game witihout expert shows me what words i have.so thats better. i will just have to use licketys list for now .

4:09 am

ivesyj, also having same problem with words not entering, have to refresh all the time. using three different devices sometimes at the same time! I am sure it will all settle down soon

4:10 am

Teething troubles. In a week we'll all have forgotten about them.

4:14 am

saanichat, nice to know im not the only one lol. i have 2 different babbles up so i can use help if i cant find a word. very confusing. but at lesat i can play. hope it gets well soon lol

4:20 am

I am glad I never got into playing with Expert. Regular Babble works fine and I could not be bothered with all that trouble to play Expert.

4:21 am

I dont think I ever heard of expert. I think I paid a £1.99 sub about 20 years ago (IIRC) - best investment I ever made!

4:25 am

Yes Lickety Add doesn't add the wods to the list for me either

I imagine Lickety will have to make code changes to Expert as the server has moved for Babble. I don't use Expert because I often play on a Mac, though I have used it in the past. Lickety (and Dr God for that matter) does this out of the goodness of their hearts - I imagine real life gets in the way!

5:16 am

Lickety is having a problem because this new site is https and his solver doesn't work with that. He is looking for one that does.

Hi, Lickety is working for me.

5:17 am

They are talking about Lickety's Expert site

oh sorry

5:31 am

Babble is not working for the words I find are not registering

5:42 am

that is happening to some of us too.

5:49 am

6:39 am

Hard to not get a clue when it give 4 of 6 letters

7:27 am

I am so not used to seeing Ivesy as a grey head

7:28 am

ds

peri and mari, are you trying to play through lickety's babble expert?

7:30 am

Good morning, Babblers. :)

7:30 am

Is it really that hard for people to play regular Babble while Lickety works on Expert?

that's what I'm trying to find out

not singling anyone out but I can't believe how many people don't know there's an actual site

hey crossy and everyone else

7:32 am

Lickety's clues come up in a new tab by clicking the link in black below. And if you don't understand tab browsing, I am at a loss. I tried and failed to explain it to Ruby.

7:33 am

playbabble.com folks. It's where the rest of us live.

lickety's babble expert is not the actual website and not the only way to play, people.

7:33 am

im a gray head!! lollol i really look like that too. lol.

you enter your words on playbabble.com and then at the bottom in a black bar, click on the helpful link "Lickety's Babble Clues", then you can copy your word list here and paste it in there under bulk add.

7:36 am

MollyL, after the migration to new server, the links at the bottom of the page is not there in Chrome browser. So Lickety disappeared for Chrome users. Maybe that's why the confusion.

7:37 am

https://r46.me/babbleclues - this i lickety's link

7:37 am

I am playing on Google Chrome and I see the link. It is in the black box under the letter boxes.

7:37 am

i have the black box that says clues on mine

7:37 am

It didn't for me. It's in the black strip across the bottom of the page. Says "Helpful Links" Lickety's Babble Clues. I'm in Chrome

7:38 am

Yes, Helpful Links: Lickety's Bablle Clues. Click on Lickety's Babble Clues.

7:38 am

It's in red, and it'll take you to the clues.

7:42 am

Part of the problem is that there are people who don't under tab browsing. That is why they use Expert because it's an "all on one screen" kind of thing. They don't get that when you click on the link, the clues come up in a different tab.

7:46 am

Does someone have a link for Babble Expert? All these years and I have never really looked at it to see what all the fuss is about.

there is a note on the lickety clues page but I think it says to email lickety for expert

7:57 am

when I open mine...this the site: https://r46.me/babbleclues.html

8:16 am

No, that is regular Babble clues. Expert is: http://tinyurl.com/asayuk8

I didn't know that they had turned the cowboy competition event into a trucker competition event

9:26 am

You have never heard of the competition where they lasso horses and ride bulls

9:26 am

those are called rodeos

lol, I had no idea what molly was talking about either

9:27 am

I thought you mean something else like drinking six packs of beers and driving trucks and missing their old flame

9:33 am

Nan ta7 is actually a plant and it is native to the Southwest. Not found in your area

9:34 am

I know you Canadians are like flies on a ham about our elections but I pay very little attention to Canadian politics.

So anyone have any 8s to send my way? Ty.

9:35 am

yes ru - thanks to Trump - lol

9:36 am

I see things are not back to "normal" with babble. Was using lickety's page and not getting words to come up in the word list. When I went to the web grid, all the words I had added at Lickety were on my

word list

9:36 am

yaeh.. it's a reacetion to trump for sure

Got them. Ty

9:42 am

9:43 am

Ty so much.

9:43 am

I also am missing the E words for top row E, second column. Two words. Help welcome.

9:44 am

is the tr another compound? beginning with a plant

9:44 am

The tr doesn't begin with a plant

9:46 am

is it a normal word? a compound?

9:47 am

normal word

9:47 am

just found it

9:47 am

no way!! That is 2 words

9:49 am

just noticed you have changed your dogs out for what I assume is the horse's ***

9:53 am

the horse's ass will be up for this whole four years

9:54 am

lol - very subtle though :)

9:54 am

just found my 3rd re 7 -- are there more?

I only see 3 re's

9:57 am

when you pull out those dandelions for the millionth time did you not just re 6?

9:59 am

ok - have dawdled for long enough - time to get breakfast and head out to the garden

darnit, thought that was leading to my missing upper R with getting married again, but I already have that one

10:12 am

11:10 am

11:10 am

11:12 am

11:12 am

er6

11:13 am

11:14 am

but it's from the first E. I need one from the 2nd E.

11:14 am

Do you all have like a nickname for the Saint at the pearly gates

11:14 am

for R? can't remember who that is.

11:14 am

Or Rose the baseball player

11:15 am

there's a nickname for peter that starts with R?

11:15 am

Well I was trying not to do that, start the nickname with r

11:16 am

As in "like the nickname"

11:16 am

oh, yeah. that's the 4 babblet I mentioned and hurshy has

11:16 am

do you have two en6 hokie

11:17 am

no, just the dining one

11:18 am

yeah there's another we have pretty frequently, babblet

11:19 am

does it have 18 points or a lot of points?

11:19 am

18

11:20 am

ok, finally saw it, thx

11:21 am

ugh, got the R!

11:22 am

28 to go

11:22 am

top row gray!

11:22 am

10-5-7-3-3

11:22 am

woot

11:22 am

40 here

11:23 am

what was the R

11:23 am

what the tv network did to the show

11:24 am

ha

11:24 am

thanks

11:24 am

funny we both missed that one

11:25 am

yeah

11:25 am

still need 4 R from the bottom though

11:25 am

I need 6 of those

11:26 am

none of mind are really weird

11:27 am

3 Rs from the bottom for me

11:29 am

13-7-5-6-3 gotta get back to work

11:29 am

found an odd T pair

11:31 am

Wow, you two are a pair. One of the most normal re words from that r.

11:33 am

It is probably that lingwa guy's missing r too

11:34 am

Sorry to disturb, but I am using Babble expert and it doesnt seem to be registering in the babble word list, is it just me or have I done something wrong?

11:34 am

maybe it's cause of the server move?

11:35 am

Sorry but my daughter usually sorts things out like this, whats a server move and can I fix it?

11:35 am

yes, not just you. lots of players are reporting expert doesn't work, and lickety, the creator of expert. said it will take him a while to fix it.

11:35 am

doc moved babble to a new server on sunday

11:36 am

Ok thank you!

11:37 am

you will have to play directly on the website on playbabble.com. then if you need lickety's babble clues, scroll down to the black bar that says Helpful Links (in white) and then click on Lickety's Babble Clues (in red).Then you can copy your word list and paste it into the box on that page that says "bulk add".

11:37 am

It is a Lickety fix and he is working on it. Follow Carla's directions to play the regular way.

11:38 am

Thanks!

11:39 am

All this time I thought everyone started out on regular Babble and moved to Expert. Do they forget how to play the regular way?

11:39 am

i've never used expert

11:39 am

don't even know what it is :)

11:39 am

Me either. It always came up as an unsafe site so I just never got into it.

11:40 am

the difference is that it gives a little more away. if there are three fe4 in a row, and you enter one, it puts it in the right spot of the three, i believe. so you know more directly what you're missing in relation to the list

11:41 am

I do remember thinking that it made things easier. It also appeals to people who don't get tab browsing.

11:43 am

I know peri and mari were here before me so they definitely played on the website. expert came along a year or two later.

11:43 am

i was definitely here before expert

11:44 am

yeah

11:44 am

before lickety usually brandyjack would post a list

11:44 am

I remember a user profile list and I would put that into a spreadsheet

11:46 am

licketys list page has a web counter since apr 2006

11:48 am

he added the bulk add to that in apr 2007, and the note on the side said expert was in beta, so it was probably at the earliest 2007. so a lot of people played this game several years before expert.

11:48 am

Today if you enter a word in Lickety, it shows up on the web but not on expert.

11:49 am

hello all...

11:49 am

hey pen

11:49 am

Hey, pen

11:49 am

hi mool...

11:49 am

right col grey!

11:49 am

17 left

11:52 am

bottom row greyed

11:52 am

10 to go

11:52 am

no row grayed!...no column grayed!... ;o)

11:54 am

anyone have Gillie's goofy ro7?

11:54 am

3-2-1-2-2

11:55 am

Ro7 is what I was talking about earlier. The trucker competition based on the cowboy competition word

11:55 am

ohhh forgot about that one

11:56 am

It is a 6/7 combination

11:56 am

yeah

11:56 am

now i just need one more D to grey the bottom row

11:56 am

I didn't know there was such a thing

11:57 am

Nope. I'm not going through that again

11:57 am

i just know i've seen that ro in babble before

11:57 am

Just to find out it's dean or something

11:57 am

lol

11:57 am

well it's not that but i can't guarantee about the "or something"

12:00 pm

fourth row grey!

12:00 pm

woot

12:00 pm

me too

12:01 pm

0-3-1-2-1

12:05 pm

got a 5 and a 7!

12:06 pm

name that proper noun! Dicken's unfinished Mystery of Edwin _____

12:06 pm

drood

12:06 pm

ding ding ding!!!

12:08 pm

Poor Edwin. Doomed to eternity with no ending to his story.

12:08 pm

presumably SOMEONE has finished it. multiple people have written endings to the novel Jane Austen was working on when she died.

12:10 pm

Oh people have written THEIR endings. I was talking about the INTENDED ending

12:11 pm

And I don't know how someone has the nerve to finish something started by Dickens or Austen. Some things are better left unfinished.

12:12 pm

well, i have one titled "Sanditon" that is by "Jane Austen and Another Lady", so i thought that was cool that she didn't want to put her name to detract from Jane getting the credit, and it's very good. i picked up another version called "Charlotte" and flipped through it at a bookstore and it seemed all wrong - the language was more Shakespearan than Austenian.

12:12 pm

There is even an Edwin Drood musical (gag)

12:31 pm

hit a wall taking a break...bye all...

12:54 pm

clue for the ra 4 10 plz

12:55 pm

double cons at the end

1:01 pm

ty!

1:02 pm

yw!

1:02 pm

odo

1:02 pm

oopsie!

4:38 pm

Namaste

5:34 pm

CLUE FOR THE SECOND TO LAST RE 5 20

5:40 pm

got it and i have fireworks. and hope that this gets fixed because it is crazy doing it like this lol

5:45 pm

It's really not that hard. A lot of us play this way.

7:11 pm

Hi, all! Love this chog so I had to speak up to say so! Also, oldtimer here and I play on the website, no lickety or expert or anything. Molly--I love your flowers (avatar).

8:23 pm

Greetings
