thank you, Lickety. Morning, babblers.
and Thanks, Robespierre
It lives! Thanks Dr. God
Ha! I was just think it would probably be a small grid. Could've been worse though.
woot woot!
gm hursh
morning champ
got here early today. Hi all
morning gwen
ooh, found a 6
found the 9!
same
WTG hurshy!
And Champ
woot
must not brag that I found a 7 LOL
:D
you can brag about whatever you feel like bragging about
Sure you can!
8 - D
i mean, it's what one expects from daleks anyway
i will exterminate this grid !!
12 left, mostly C's
Yes...they're neverending today
yeah, how are there 45 c's???
Plus 14 in the 3rd column
maybe I should just start there
oh 45 + 14 c's
just found a set of 5 so I've got that going for me
I'm just adding all the endings to everything without even looking.
That works today, for sure.
went on quite a roll with the left C and looked when I slowed down - only found 30. {crying emoji}
Yeah...false sense of security!
well, the z is not super obvious to me - should it be?
yes
I think I'll get a second opinion :P
a suffix that comes up in geology and paleontology for "eras" or other spans of time
I disagree
thanks. I really thought I tried that but must've had an extra vowel in there.
finito! my last word was actually a re6
Oh me too. Not super obvious at all.
Way to go dan!
congrats, dan
and 2 dissenting opinions - this I why I take genius ruru with a grain of salt. :D
I object to the tr5/20 more than the zo4
lol, never seen that before. thanks
I don't know why you pay any heed to someone who says Spelling Bee is easy
I do appreciate him trying to help me
well ... I do suck completely at wordle so there you have it
The tr5 is an alternate of a Scot word, of course
I got so lucky this morning on wordle. Got it in 2.
wow, that is a good one. took me 5 I think.
they are running out of words and getting harder
Lucky second guess for sure.
You suck at Wordle because you can't see what's not there
You can overthink it too, esp after playing so much babble
yep, like I'll use words that I know from here but they'll never be the answer there
Exactly. I objected to "gofer" recently.
well, I was not surpised about that one
my son texted me - what does that even mean?
I didn't think it was a word
we have it and twofer here
Yeah...still annoys me
Gofer has been used for years to refer to a person who goes fer things
haha
Yes but it feels like a colloquialism to me.
well, I'm not seeing these upper R's, but found 8 so I guess I'm moving on.
oh, when I was backing down my driveway this morning I saw a big buck in my rearview mirror, just grazing in my neighbor's yard
Arvo is a colloquialism and Enable takes it, so go figure
what does arvo mean?
cool!
hmm, afternoon. never heard that.
you mean a venison of the deep?
Australians use arvo for afternoon. They also use servo and, well any word that has an o tagged on the end
ty. i have wondered about that word but never looked it up. servo is short for servocylinder.
and what is a servocylinder?
Servo is short for service station
In Australia anyway
hydraulic device
in UK = servocylinder
ok, should these o's be super obvious to me?
keeps the piston moving on a straight defined track
in England wouldn't it be servoucylinder?
saervocylindour
the british do love their vowels
the oe is my favorite
One o is normal, one is not
hmm, ok. thanks
There is no word that starts with oe
she was talking about extra british vowels
oeuvre
O
i am in bethlehem this week and am watching chef staib cook right where i will be today, fun.
wow.. we're having a vowel movement here
who is chef staib?
o.
Keep it in cheque Ru
o.0
TO, I was just in Bethlehem yesterday! Ugh, I forgot to check with you.
oh, bethlehem PA
oh, bethlehem PA
oh heck, i was on the southside. and meant to check with you yesterday
but I still don't know chef staib
weather is
perfect
and i am now a member, will check with you next time there is a dinner or evernt.
I need a dictionary when I read Brit authors because I can't figure out rucksack or car boot
kerb got me one time
I played hooky yesterday and went to the casino while Ricky was at the groomers.
Would have been cheaper and way more fun to grab a coffee with you!
so you were right down the street.
Kerb would get me too
could have walked there
what does kerb mean?
Curb
if you decide to come up for anything text me
curb
oh.. so in England a house has a certain kerb appeal
will do!
taking some days off but working about 7
we fixed the spelling of kerb and also aluminum LOL
Then there are nappies and lollys and all the other ies
whats a lollys?
not to mention the unmentionabes. ata
lollipops
maybe lorries?
still haven't found an O, can someone share the stats?
Well, lorries are trucks and I have never been able to figure that one out
oh, lollies
oo4, slimy word
oo4/9 carla
aha, thanks
why should it be any more figure-out-able than "trucks"? they're just words.
HOET!
woo hoo
i'm losing my umpg with 40 to go. later y'all
Some of the others sound similar. Kerb and the lollipop one
bye gwen
anyone else try coozee just in case?
I feel I should try now, just in case
lol
lol, save your energy
do you all have coozies, atalante, or call them something else? the neoprene beer can holder.
We call them cozies here.
there is a company called koozie that makes them, though they aren't the only company that makes them, so i would have thought to spell it that way because i happen to know about that company
interesting. I've only ever heard coozie in NC/SC/TN/VA
I did not know that, hurshy
Oh Hurshy is right, they are koozies
not sure I've ever seen it in print
I am thinking of a tea cozy
anyone else heard of coofer(s)? it might be specific to VT.
google AI tells me it is
AI Overview "Coofers" is a term primarily used at Virginia Tech (and some other Virginia schools) to refer to past exams, homework, or other materials from a previous class that students can use to study for the current version of the same course. It's essentially a form of "crib notes" or a study guide from a previous semester. The term is believed to have originated at Bluefield College, a former extension of VPI (now Virginia Tech), and is thought to be derived from the word "coffer," meaning a strongbox. It's sometimes spelled "koofer".
oh when you said VT i thought you meant vermont haha
I assumed VT was Vermont lol
I was afraid of that
does anybody have the OTHER o word
it's interesting that the co4 here means a dolt, so maybe the word is derived from that.
besides the one that was mentioned
well, molly does because she told me earlier it wasn't obvious
sorry for chat hijack. happy babbling to all
or should i say chatjack? :D

The 9 doesn't have an 8
mmkay

Does it? Sorry!

Duh!

they are people who go to a longer word (not in grid) that is based on a 6
I saw the 9 and never went back for the 8

There is no F6

I still have 3 6's and 1 7 left R CC R

Agree. I looked it up, and that's how it's always spelled.
