Thanks sprite

1:40 am

Thanks sprite

1:40 am

Oops, see I'm doubly grateful

1:41 am

*giggles* feeling grateful is very powerful

1:44 am

I'll use the excuse of having to hold the phone and type one handed as my little chihuahua is curled up asleep in the other arm.

1:44 am

no excuse needed, but if you needed one, a pet is always a good one!

1:52 am

Quite a few latin spelling today. :)

7:55 am

All you have to do to get a definition is to type the word and then "definition" in a Google search

7:56 am

or go to dictionary.com

7:56 am

many options really

7:56 am

It was nice to be able to click on the ? and get the def. I miss that too.

7:56 am

ta8 is a horse drawn carriage

8:04 am

I do too, Champ. You get what you pay for I guess

8:34 am

easy grid.. just need a t6

8:36 am

ugh.. (smacks head) and I had the boat guy

8:36 am

Ah yeah....took me a bit for that one too

8:44 am

i have a pair of Ks, what's the third K

8:45 am

ke4 8

8:45 am

ty champ

apparently I need more coffee before starting the U. hello, people.

8:47 am

hi hokie

8:47 am

I still need 1 there.

just found one that doesn't even make sense. it's like putting toothpaste back in the tube.

8:48 am

3 bone words, 1 un, 1 ut4

ah, it's always the bones that get me. and I think I say every time, that is the only bone I've broken.

8:48 am

I need the un...figures.

that

that's the one that doesn't make sense in that form

now as un6 (not in grid), it is regular word

8:49 am

well, i think that's because some of the ones that don't make sense have been made words solely in order to express the fact that you can't do it

8:50 am

like parents might warn kids not to be mean because you can't un5 things

well, they don't accept unsee

8:50 am

or unring

8:50 am

yeah idk why that one and not the other two

ok, that is a good example

8:51 am

i am also stumped because morewords is only giving me one possible word for tr7 and that word is not in the grid

8:51 am

Got it...thx

what's the points?

8:51 am

oh no, i see, my bad, i was thinking of the wrong part of the list

8:52 am

7/36

8:52 am

i just found it and it is weird

8:52 am

I need that too

8:52 am

can clue unless you prefer to look first

8:53 am

sure!

no objections here

8:54 am

attempt + go out in a wind powered boat

8:55 am

wouldn't have attempted that

8:55 am

ty!

+1

any ts words?

8:59 am

I still need 2 there, but so far no

still need 7 and stopped. will move on for now.

in case you ever wondered, sayonara is on enable

9:02 am

no, no TS words today

9:03 am

2 tu, 2 ty

9:05 am

hursh, I need a 2nd i in the last column. Have the 6. Stats for the other?

the one I have is in6

oh, I see you said 6

9:05 am

Me too I need the stats for the other one.

in 6/8 and in 6/21

9:06 am

thx luv

9:07 am

Wait...6/18?

the one i have is 6/18

9:07 am

That's what I need

only see one letter option to make a 21 so I assume I'll stumble onto it eventually

I have 2 in 6's from the i in the last column

9:08 am

Looking for the 6/18

let me know if you want a clue

haha, I almost typed sl4 into the chat. you would have thought I was calling you that.

lol

look at your 8 key, champ

9:09 am

Thanks for your restraint! :)

I guess I'm going to need a clue for the 6/21

duh

found it. and it fits with me name calling.

in + what twinkles in the sky

oops that's the 6/18

in 6/21 is when you call someone a name

9:12 am

sorry i didn't warn you before i did other things

9:13 am

my angel was being really cute and i had to snap some pics of her

9:13 am

now i'm on Spelling Bee and i can make Enola Gay but that doesn't count of course

yes of course

9:14 am

finding a real pangram is more difficult lol

I'm still working on the wordle

are you doing NYT bee, because I just saw the pangram at first look

9:18 am

yes NYT

yes, you have to be with enola gay

9:19 am

couldn't you tell based on my... yeah

funny how that just popped out to me

9:19 am

yeah it is always funny why it does or doesn't

9:19 am

my most plausible guess so far was nonlegally

it is a common word that I've only recently learned to spell so maybe that throwing you off.

9:21 am

idk, i've always been good with spelling

9:22 am

aHA

9:22 am

i accidentally closed the tab for it

me too, but this one is tricky

9:23 am

and when i reopened it i saw it right away

9:23 am

my mom is very into that

:D funny how that happens

does the tr 7/36 use the sometimes vowel?

yes

thanks

hurshy clued it earlier if you need

9:25 am

haha @ Connections

9:27 am

the green category... in my head the category had an adjective modifying it rather than just being the noun they listed.

ok, just finished first pass here. 27 left and HOET. going back to NYT games for a bit.

9:33 am

hagd!

rehi - hurshy, can you do the xword? it seems to be star trekkish today.

9:50 am

An X word?

you've never seen a crossword called xword?

9:51 am

Guess not.

if you google xword, it says "these are results for crossword"

10:12 am

Does that mean xmas means crossmas? : D

10:17 am

somehow x= cross and christ

10:18 am

AI Overview The abbreviation "Xmas" for "Christmas" comes from the Greek letter "Chi," which is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ, "Christos"

10:19 am

i don't have a subscription so i only have access to the mini

10:19 am

i used to do it all the time when my workplace had a subscription

10:19 am

well you would like today's

10:20 am

and just started connections - green is the only one I have so far :D

10:23 am

well did you think it should have included the adjective "posh" in the category name?

10:23 am

because that was my feeling

10:24 am

well they all are but I didn't think that way

10:24 am

like when i was selecting them i was thinking "oh, posh _____"

10:25 am

so i did something which turned out to be stupid

10:25 am

also, posh is more of a britishism and NYT doesn't do those much

10:25 am

and it resulted in an unpleasant smell

10:25 am

and now i cannot get the smell out of my nose

10:25 am

hmm, any candles around?

10:26 am

yeah

10:28 am

Saline wash

10:29 am

light a match under your nose, but don't burn yourself!?

10:33 am

i lit the candle

10:34 am

only it took two tries, the first match refused to light

10:36 am

Old matches? The scratch pad gets bad sometimes. Especially in humidity.

10:36 am

yeah

10:37 am

although it's not that humid today, 30-50%

10:39 am

almost tarantula

10:39 am

i think that was discussed thoroughly when the ta8 was being discussed lol

10:39 am

A good way to keep matches working for a long time is to keep them in a Ziploc bag.

10:40 am

well, since I had no idea the 8 was TA, I guess that was before I arrived.

10:40 am

yes

10:40 am

And you don't read every word of the chat before you start Carla? Shame. : D

10:41 am

btw for anyone who wasn't around when i've mentioned it before there is a site called clevergoat.com with some nice games

10:41 am

some easy, some harder

10:41 am

Clevergoat? Must have been created by a Wicked fan.

10:42 am

well, I was going to say ain't nobody got time for that, molly, but then I remembered I have been known to read chat archives from like 2005 on here.

10:45 am

Molly, you do read the whole chat, i think?

10:45 am

yes, she is a bot, remember? :D

10:46 am

i must have missed a discussion of her being a bot...

10:47 am

well, if you read all the chats from the past year you will find it. ;)

10:48 am

It can be interesting to read the archived chats. And no, I don't read the whole chat unless I am looking for something specific.

10:49 am

oh, i just figured you did because you so frequently seem surprised when people are not aware of something said earlier in the day

10:50 am

yes, I found the chats from the early early days very interesting

10:50 am

okay, made it down to 18. 7-3-4-3-1

10:51 am

guess I will get some things done before our afternoon golf

10:51 am

is it hot golf or regular

10:53 am

Usually the surprise is because people here are very "word clever" and it seems likely that with a word like ta8, someone has already mentioned the spider thing.

10:54 am

well, we are in a "cold" spell right now, which is marvelous. thurs was feels like 101. current temp is 68. it has been raining some, so hopefully that will stop.

10:58 am

We have the doors open. It's glorious.

10:58 am

i'm sitting on the back porch

11:00 am

yeah my cats love it when we can have windows open, they love the fresh air

11:02 am

'morning, everyone

11:03 am

Hello, welki.

11:17 am

bea, have you found your pup a new foster?

11:19 am

Yes, he has been gone a couple months. Not sure what happened to him as he is not listed to adopt any more. The rescue has not been forthcoming with any information about him.

11:21 am

Hi Bea...we just moved my daughter to Durham to go to school. I was wondering if I could email you to ask a few questions about the area?

11:21 am

have to hope he's found his home. rescue is an emotional rollercoaster

11:24 am

Certainly, April.

11:25 am

Thanks! I'll put babble in the message line so you know it's me :)

12:04 pm

good morning everyone :)

12:12 pm

Howdy, Nan. :)

12:14 pm

both the british and the irish represented in poetry today

12:16 pm

Yes, Mr. keats is in da house. :)

12:17 pm

mr yeats also

12:17 pm

Oops, typo

12:34 pm

oh - found an su 7

12:35 pm

So I'm puzzled - seemed like hokie and hurshy were talking earlier about one of the Connections categories being "green" (and maybe "posh green"), but that wasn't the case for the puzzle I did. There was one a little while back that had a category of "greens", though.

12:35 pm

rehi - sorry for spoilers if anyone hasn't played. the category is sports and hurshy thought it should be posh sports

12:36 pm

oh - I misunderstood you

12:36 pm

it's the green one today, so second hardest according to their colors

12:37 pm

I don't remember what was in the "greens" category I'm remembering now, but some of them did seem like snooty "decorator" names for green

12:38 pm

I kinda got out of playing it regularly

12:38 pm

I usually do, but I'm not great at it

12:39 pm

I actually have only found yellow and green today. have a group of 3 I'm pretty sure about.

12:40 pm

I did alright today - sometimes I just end up using my guesses out of frustration to see what the groups are

12:41 pm

same

12:44 pm

Do you ever look at the hints? There's kind of an obvious clue there today, I just realized.

12:45 pm

(didn't see it before I did the puzzle)

12:46 pm

I don't. I just had mr. homie look at it and he saw my missing one and then I knew what the cat name for the remaining four was. I just couldn't think of this one word but then of course that was it.

12:51 pm

have you tried the sports connections? sometimes I find those easier but I'm not seeing anything on today's

12:54 pm

I haven't seen sports connections, but I would probably be very bad at it

12:55 pm

Anyway, I'm off now - good luck with the grid

12:56 pm

Have a good one

2:04 pm

2:05 pm

I love it when new people type in the wrong box. I did it constantly! Everybody yelled at me KAPLAN!

Welcome to the funny farm, cg.

2:25 pm

I would not yell, because I've done it before, too

KAPLAN! K*A*P*L*A*N*! I remember writing creosote in the wrong box. How many times has that word even come up? Has anyone ever attempted a word frequency study?

We've all done it.

good afternoon y'all

But I can see that cg has a good method for sussing out words
