Man, not seeing *any* of these ri words…
i've only found one of them, robspierre, and it's only a ri4....
found them! if you need clues, robespierre, i can help!
Thanks—I wouldn’t mind a lttle hint!
ri 4, to form a cleft between two people or objects; ri 6, a coastal resort area; then, the other ri 6, change the last letter to an e; ri 7, pluralize it.
Thank you!
yvw!!
Definitely wouldn’t have found those on my own…
if those don't help, let me knw, i'll try to make them make more sense.
No, those were great; found them.
great!

gm - anyone get the vi6?
Good morning, Babblers. :)
Ty to all cluers for the ri 7/40, ri7/4, and ri8/55
Ri 7/40*
I had found the regular ri7/40, didn't know that changing the last vowel was also acceptable. Learned something today!
vi 6 is a musician who plays a percussion instrument
Thanks Kallia! New word for me.
Have no idea for this one, and Google is not offering up any help.
I just looked it up. It has to do with a specific percussion instrument that contains the first three letters, so can't clue that way.
check out nick parnell
Stats for the lone E please? Just not seeing it.
er 5/16
ry!
ty! duh
yvw!
Ty, saanichcat, a new word and instrument for me.

the best of colors!
i always remembered you chose green because it rhymed lol
ugh, gtg to work, ttfn!
bon voyage!
I do not like these green sardines. I do not like them Eva Nadine.
wow, i'm just getting worse at this game every day
what makes you think that hokie?
just not seeing the words
well maybe you slept badly? need caffeine? or there is some reason
IDK. my sleep score on my watch is pretty good. drinking coffee still.
even if you find today's hard that doesn't mean you're getting worse every day, anyway :)
but I feel like I posted the last 2 days that I was struggling so didn't want to post that again.
*hugs*
:D
was just about to ask you about the top i and then finally saw it.
nice
you pre-peri'd it
or something
the one i'm most puzzled by is the third row R
yeah, I only have 2 there. but also only found 2 M
only have 2/5
That's the one with the biggies in it.
oh really? what biggies?
oh, didn't notice there were biggies
ri 7/40x2, ri 8/55
oh, would never have guessed ri
oh myyyy
Me either. Someone else gave the stats and there it was!
thanks champ, got them!
no idea, but thanks
have you been to the French Ri7?
no, but thanks
change last letter
I have been to the redneck one
:)
there's a redneck one?
actually have heard panama city and myrtle beach both called that
keep thinking certain letter combos are here that aren't
like -men or -rth-
yep
Playing words with friends with a Babble friend. Going in, I thought that I was skilled with the game, but I am being shown that I am merely average. Lol!
which friend? :D
crossy, I have a friend who traveled extensively for work. He always kills me, mostly with obscure coins. Makes me nuts!
so... what's the other 8 besides that ri we talked about?
oh i peri'd it!
fi8!
Yaa!
1-8-4-1
i have 3 vi4/7. anyone know what the other v is?
Vi 6/33
but i already tried vibier and it didn't work
oh got it!
at least i was on the right track
Yaa!
and how about the G. have 4, 5, 4, 4
Yaa, V's vanquished!
:D
I still need three of those, so I am not much help at the moment.
oh ok :D
I have the same hursh
I have a ge 5/14 that is a little uncommon.
Are there 2?
Thanks crossy

guess i will list
oh and of course french for book counts!
lol
that doesn't even make sense
and I only know spanish for book is libro. maybe it starts with L?
good morning/afternoon everyone :)
I have ri 7 x2 and fi 7, but not seeing any 8's - help please
well, pluralize one of the ri7
I don't have the other but hurshy said it was fi8
ty - was looking in the wrong direction for that one
I guess the fi 8 is not related to the 7
no
I was trying to make it a compound with that fi4
me too
just now got the 7, thanks
it's a comparitive
hi, folks
hi welki
welki!
well, I can't find what we're comparing but will keep that in mind, thanks.
so not a superlative but a comparative?
that's right
and it's FI? I must be blind
or going the wrong way
me neither but did find an fa 7 superlative
fa7 of them all, nan?
oh, you dirty girl (that's a hint)
yes
that should do it - anyway, I'm off now
aha, thanks welkster
and gillie
can someone help me understand something
I also have an fa7 that shoes horses
i just did the atlantic xword puzzle and for the clue "whip" the answer was "auto" and i don't know why
I guess we can try, hurshy
that is odd
whip is slang for car
from what era?
ty welkie
fancy that - i just put gas in my whip :D
wow, never heard that. are we too old?
youre only a few years older than i am, hokie. ;)
<-- is older than both of you and i've never heard of it either
like it's young slang? i never heard of it either
obviously
never heard of that either so it's not that you are too young :)
do we know how it originated? who thought there was a good reason to call a car this?
https://www.thedrive.com/article/7495/ why-is-a-car-called-a-whip
not getting anywhere with this grid - still need the 2nd row e and r
sometimes I know younger slang but now that my kids are both out of the house I have to ask them sometimes.
got one of the r's - thought I'd entered it already
TL;DR it initially referred specifically to the steering wheel, which controlled the car much like a whip would control a bunch of horses pulling a stagecoach.
nan, the E is ER5, looks like someone mispronouncing good vs. e4
maybe it's regional?
thankee kindly eva
ty carla
it tends to be used in the hip-hop community and urban areas
i always dislike it when i HAVE a crossword answer that i still don't understand so i greatly appreciate the help
now
the atlantic puzzles do trend a lot more young/modern/current than, say, the NYT
weird, google AI says hip hop artists revived the usage in the 90s. I still listen to 90s hip hop and have never heard it.
don't know what happened to the first part of that -- was saying that at least I have nbt, nbs now
escaping to codeword and wordle for a bit
li7 or ha7 please
ha 7 has the same ending as the guy who shoes horses....
ty pen
yw....li 7 is a comparative form of the previous four letter word...
ty
yw...
72 left and done for now. may be back later
bye then...
