hi smithchick, it's me
Me who??? Lis?
yep, sound it out.
R7/32
C6x6 (so far)
has anyone actually used the Z yet?
This is only my third time to play, but it seems to me the z is just to take up space.
Have 60 words, but no Z used
14 words, z used.
just used the Z! (not the first letter)
I suspect the Z is a red herring.
okay what do I know. ;)
have the Z in 3 words so far.
duh. I had already used it twice before I said that. I need to go to bed now. Happy spelling!
How long are these z words?
64 words, 850pts. Stopping now in favor of Harry Potter. :)
curses! this game makes me feel stupid... but! i cant *not* play it...
smithchick: 4, 5, and 5
smithchick, mine are 4 and 5, i haven't found pmbuko's second 5 yet
Thx! Have fun with Harry.
..z. 4/13 .z... 5/30 .z... 5/28
.z.. 4/13
i found 5 words with z so far... 4/13x2 5/28x2 5/30
Hey elmer, brother-in-law
Since when did indian cease being a word?
The game is just like Scrabble in that it doesn't allow proper nouns.
The proper noun ..z./13 and ..z../28 are proper nouns and should not be legal. The weapon .z../13 is an abbreviation of a weapon, an appreviation of a proper noun, and should not be legal. According to the ENable dictionary, there is a defintion to .z.., and if you can display actual proof, I'd love to see it because Google is not working for my cause.
When it is used generically it isn't capitalized...i.e. indian bread, indian summer, etc.
All of those Indian words are capitalized in my Webster's, for whatever that's worth.
there is a spanish word in this one
More than one Spanish word...
the hairy-nosed dolphin is back again - the words I am learning here...
Learning new words... my very convincing excuse for playing babble! :D Morning all...
sprite - you know how to get the stats, right? can you post them please?
I like to play without stats until I am a good way, so give me a little more time - I'll make the stats in about half an hour, ok?
sprite - sure, whenever, thanks... (I just don't know how to get them)
How nice, my favorite P5 from yesterday is back too ;)
c7/44: Feel good hit of the summer. I was trying to piece this word a couple puzzles ago. Have a fun time trying to decipher the reference. At one point, I believe one of my friends believed this is what the White Album displayed on the cover.
Nosy, very nosy indeed... ;)
Okay, today's babble stats: 8 x 1 7 x 3 6 x 10 5 x 24 4 x 61 --- 99 words --- A -- 13 C -- 27 D -- 9 H -- 4 i -- 4 L -- 3 N -- 5 O -- 5 P -- 4 R -- 11 S -- 10 W -- 4
thanks augurus - a fun clue (couldn't get it, so took a break and got it while I was in the shower!)
thanks sprite - now I know why I was getting stuck so early on - not that many words in today's grid
No, I had the same... usually get about half without really working hard, so when I got stuck at 55, I knew we were in trouble ;)
h5/18 - i thought it was just a car name but I know now it's more than that :-)
I mistyped an A5/12 and got a peculiar A5/30, definition is 'chemical compound that contains the group N3'. Never heard of that one, so it definitely makes my babbling allowed today!
Oh, that name-thing I had with C4/6, first time it popped up in a grid. Never knew it could mean 'a possession; a spear' as well!
It's great what random guessing can get you - R7/32 was too sappy for me to have know.
42 words and im already stuck. :/
Can you skip a day without it affecting your Player Ranking?
I can only find three P words - the last one is driving me mad!
Go stuff that c7/44 up yer nose.:)
same here beepbeep, i have: P4/6 P4/7 P5/14
also missing one i i have: i4/4 x2 i4/5
Rats - looks like we have the same three.
got the other i -- it was another i4/5
beepbeep, got the other P, its another P4/6
The fourh P is another P4/6
A plea folks ... could the chit chat be kept to a minimum today so I don't have to hide the log? Please?
You could always just not read the log Darleen.
Well gee, leff, I never thought of that. I like to be able to see stats and clues/hints. I'm on sloooooooooooooooooow dialup and it's been taking forever for the page to load not to mention trying to sift through all the junk to find the meat. If you get my drift.
Or copy out the stats from the chat log and use them like i do
I do a stat list then add the ones people have found and cross them off as I go, then go back after I have found them all to check for more hints
The chatting is half the fun for me, especially when my mom and aunt are playing. (Hi Gail and tedybeth!)
Hi, Sarcasticah!
Question: If a c6 w/ lime is good, would a c7 with limes be better?
Now I have that lime-in-the-coconut song stuck in my head...
That second P4 / 6 took me far too long to find! Thanks for the help evanadine. Now I'm going to work on GoBrave's cryptic(?) clue!
sure would GoBraves! plus, i hear itll change your whole latitude. ;)
Soooo, acronyms are allowed? The one I found by chance is REALLY obscure!
good morning:)
good morning, all - argh, 25 words and stuck already! :)
Bugs!
Sheeps!
Sigh. 92 and running on fumes. Time for a nap.
repost: 8 x 1 7 x 3 6 x 10 5 x 24 4 x 61 --- 99 words --- A -- 13 C -- 27 D -- 9 H -- 4 i -- 4 L -- 3 N -- 5 O -- 5 P -- 4 R -- 11 S -- 10 W -- 4
Question: Isn't "Endian" a valid word?? Something to do with most significant and lowest significant bits.
unfair - "india," as in "india ink," is not legit... :(
i can only get 2 Ls (both lo4) anyone find the third?
3rd lo4 means bereft
there's a third lo4, Dani.
argh - sorry to repeat again! computer isn't cooperating...
found it. L4/6 x2 and L4/4 x 1
Yes, India and Indian should be accepted words, you'd think.
That's odd. It accepted a car/motorcycle name...Indian is a brand of motorcycle too. >:(
does anyone have a clue on the fourth i? I've got 2 i4-5s and one i4-4.
never mind; just got it :)
there are 2 i4/4's
I have 12/13 a's. Does anyone have the 13th? ac5x2 ad5x2 ai4x2 an4x2 as5x1 az4x1 az5x2
nope, i've got the same ones as you
heatherann you are missing an ac5- ac5/16, ac5/14 and ac5/16
thanks for the tip boober! :)
Just call me "Queen of the 4 letter words"! That seems to be all I can see today. LOL
any clues on the R8 and R7?
Hail queen cherry!
It doesn't accept India or Indian because those letters don't connect in the puzzle.
i've got the ac5 chilly and the ac5 squirrel food but could you give me a hint on the 3rd one?
yeah they do
boober, thanks :) I was missing an ac5/16.
the letters for india and indian do connect, but I guess they're considered proper nouns?
ac5/16- unpleasantly sharp, pungent or bitter to taste or smell
i am stuck on the last h -my eyes are rebelling. i have: h5/18 h6/30 h4/7..what am i missing :)
oooh, lookin' in the wrong direction--thanks!
evanadine - R8 is a compound word
I have an az5/28...
h4/8
You're missing an H4 / 8 I think.
thnks une:)
h4/8 -, a coal scuttle
thanks IceBoySF
now any hints on the R7? :D
R7 - A translucent yellowish to dark brown resin
you know, i'm no sicko, but this is the second day where a man's "member" is one of the accepted words
Sorry to argue about the indian/india thing...but, you would have to use the same n twice for indian. I'm pretty sure that's why it's not working. And there's too many iii's together to make india work.
sorry judi, but youre wrong on this one. you start with the upper right i, go straight down to the d, then you jump diaginally up + left to the next i and go diagonally down to the left catching the a and the n. its possible, it just doesnt accept it.
start with one of the top i's go to the n on the 2nd row go to the d on the third row go back to the i on the 2nd row go to the a on the third row go to the n on the far left on the 4th row
judi...india and indian are both in the puzzle
yes, captainlou, and it makes me mad because its always one of the first ones i find! :)
My apologies. I see it now.
thanks for the "h" hints - finally got them all! :)
thanks again IceBoySF!
I can't find the n words at all. Any clues?
I found four n/4
n/4: A nest or brood of pheasants
i looked even in my dictionary for a coal scuttle beginning with H...and i am too new to really do this game..ugh
I found one n4/13. I can't believe it accepted THAT. *rolls eyes*
There are 4 n4s, and one n5, which is a plural of one of the n4s.
found the n4/13 (and related n5) - thanks, Abby!
abby, don't forget the plural..
strange choice of words, id seen it but didn't even try...

hey smithchick mad is making me let her use the computer, i just got on.
thanks, baggo! finally got the last o4/6 - can't believe it took so long... :)
man, i *SWEAR* id tried that one before! thanks for the help, guys. :) ...off to tackle the rest of my Ds now i have: D4/5 x2 D4/7 D4/8
i am soooooooooo depressed. I wish I had never found this game...without dictionary i found 68 words...some of the clues i dont understand..actually..lol, MOST of them

R7/32 - A translucent yellowish to dark brown resin
r7/32 To coat or rub with a translucent yellowish to dark brown resin derived from the stumps or sap of various pine trees and used to increase sliding friction, as on the bows of certain stringed instruments
smithchick - what the pitcher did last inning in the rain got a clue for the r/8?

i thought that was the r5/10?
At 11:46 am Goose said... the r8 is compound - think about one of the benefits of AAA
check my 11:46 clue GOBraves :)

to make the sign of the cross over somebody or something as a blessing or protection against evil ( archaic ) sa/6 def
thx sj

Anyone have a clue for the C7-44?

Judi: there's quite a bit of C7/44 in Requiem for a Dream. Things like the sun have C7/36s. Okay, I have 25/27 C's and last two are driving me nuts: ca4x3 ca6x1 cl4x1 co4x6 co5x4 co6x4 co7x2 cr4x3 cr5x1
wow that sa6 was staring me in the face! how about some clues for the n5?
Yes, Goose. Thanks.
Already have that one heatherann. Thanks.
They really like that P5/14 word ... 2 outta 4 puzzles I've played
sj - n5 is a plural of an n4 you probably already have
The last n4 is not coming to me. Any clues? I have na4/13, no4/15, ni4/15.
you are missing an n5 - plural of a n4
finished! 99 words, 1212 points. I was missing a ca6 and a co6, if anyone else is trying to finish them.

a hammer is usually called a Ball p___ Hammer

Goose, I thought it was just high-lighted
Goose, think of the gool ol' days.
I had the o5/12 all along... Got it last night. My own blonde moment there. I'm missing three d's and 5c's.
I'll take the clue if you have one for o5/12
idiot!!!! right in my face..thanks sarcasticah, good clue
missing 2 o's, i've got o5/12, o4/6, o5/14
would anyone be able to give me a clue for one of the ca6s? I have the honest one, but for the life of me, I can't find the other one...thanks! =)
LOL @ himself, always assuming there is only one AC combo, and not looking past it! Now is there any hints for az5/28?
o5/12 days of yore
sj, two more o4/6's
oh, and I also have the game-related ca6
really long def mtnjock - six membered heterocyclic compound, such as pyridine, that contains...
d's: da4/5,de4/5,di4/5, di4/7,di5/6,do4/8 What am I missing?
Okay, help: I have s4x7, and s6x1... what am I missing??
sarcasticah - you're missing an s6
Had that one goose, remember I was a chem eng. for a while, I need the other az5.
Hrm. Hint? I have one sa6.
smithchick - theres a Do5/12
sarcasticah... an s4, too
ty, evandine
sarcasticah - one s6 is "fragments of dark lava". the other, I can't find a definition for...sorry!
sarcasticah - the sa6 is the one I couldn't find a definition for, so the sc6 is the one you need (that's the lava one). sorry for any confusion!
Any hints out there for di4/7?
sa6 is past tense of s4/4
sj, think herniated
sj - think of a CD
I can't believe I missed that! Thank you :) Now is do5/12 that obvious?
Ah ha, that was it, llama! Now I just need one... more...word! My brain hurts.
its the plural of a D4/5
Are there three ca6's?
Oh, duh, the last word was right in front of me. Finished!
smithchick - no, I was confused. sorry - it's a co6 that I'm missing. it's the last word I need, and I can't find it!
if someone could kindly tell me what the 5th co is, I would be *ever* so grateful! I've got coc6, cor6x2, and cos6. thank you!
co6 is an odd spelling of another c word
llama, its another Coc
hey SJ I just got that one, I believe it is spanish for 'gifts', but to make it easier, just think is NASCAR or the opposite of ya's
im still missing an o4/6 and its not either of the weird ones 9atleast they are weird to me)
evanadine - thanks so much! you've just helped me complete a babble for the first time! woot woot! =) good luck to everyone else. =)

have a hint on the sa6? :)
o4/6 is this A perennial plant (Oxalis tuberosa) of the high Andes, grown for its edible tubers but plural
Sa6 is past tense of a Sa4/4
saladspork(i love your name..lol) sa6 i have is past tense of a word you probably already have meaning -at peace, not crazy (lol) :) Im sure it has a prettier def :)
got it, sweet.
ok, i know the D i am missing is a D6 -- anyone have any clues?
the last or4/6 is an acronym
thanks sj!
mtnjock, could you restate your d05/12 clue pretty please???? :)
*GRRRR* cant find my last D and its my last word! does anyone have a clue?? it should be a D6
goose, its the plural of a D4/5
What about India and Inian? What the crap.
d5/12 is the plural of d4/5 which is an honorific title for a woman in spanish. not really sure why it works on this puzzle, but it does.
though it's not my last word evanadine, I am working on the d6!
i hafta leave in 15 minutes. it would SO suck if i couldnt find my last word...heh
its probably the other d I don't have..do4/5 and do/12 is what im missing + the elusive d6
Drat, I'm down to that same d6 word and two c's and I have to leave. Dang reality for intruding.
thanks!
How about help for ca6 but not frankness or sincerity of expression; openness.
**NOTE!! i finally found the final D, but its a D5, not a D6 (which means there are only 9 6-letter words, but there are 25 5-letter words!) and it uses the Z ;)
yay evanadine, but can we have a hint!
I dont get your coded messages... what the heck does d6 and c7/44 mean?
Di5/30
congrats evenadine!!
ah, lucky people who are done... I'm only at 85 words... :p
just in time to leave work. :D
code is first letter of the word and number of letters/points the word is worth! good luck! :)
wuu hooo! got it (not cause im clever, cause i kept typing in possibilities) :)
Thanks!
Throw me another hint please goose!
Need a little help on the N's - I've got the two dealing with dictators, and the one that has to do with sleeping... what are the other 2??
def: relating to or containing a pair of bonded nitrogen atoms, one of which is also bonded to an aromatic hydrocarbon...wher's mtnjock when ya need him?!:)
the Di5 is a Bi5! LOL Never heard that one before!
thank you goose! maybe I can trade you some hints for that one.
n4/4Taking effect at a specified date unless cause is shown for modification or nullification: a decree nisi. n4/5 nest or brood of pheasants
oh my gosh!!!! i didn't cut and paste right...sooooooooo sorry...please don't hate me!!!
down to the last two: ca6 and co5
I won't kill you; have been looking for that for ages! LOL :)
haha yeah, that one was obscure!! k, now i just need a's, c's, and r's...
ok, what is this dratted diz__??? Driving me nuts... and to think I used to know about organic chemistry...
it's not diz__.
That d5/30 is more commonly known in the graphics industry.
i had too much ca6 in my last clue; sincerity of expression; openness
got that one, need the other ca6
Sorry, Evanadine. There *are* 10 6-letter words. So does that mean there are actually 100 words, not 99???
What does the 10th 6 letter word begin with?
90 words - getting there slowly!
Sc6 - any clues out there?
any clues on the r7 or the r8??
di5/30! Thank you, saladspork!
r7 - take an r5 you probably have, and make it a verb. r8 - clue from Goose earlier, regarding AAA benefits. :)
I just went and checked the stats that my husband got this am. the stats that sprite posted are correct...there are 10 6 letter words and 24 5 letter words....
Here are the 10 6-letter words: Ca6/27 Ca6/24 Co6/30 x3 Co6/24 x2 Ho6/30 Sa6/21 Sc6/24
i gotta stop people...another grid goes unfinished for goose...the sadness of it all!!!
sounds like you got most of it, though, Goose! :) Thanks, Doogle - missing a couple of those.
Bugs! Which ones are you missing?
Any hints on which r I'm missing? ri4/ 4 ri4/ 5 x 2 ro4/ 5 ro5/ 12 ro8/ 50 ro4/ 4 ro4/ 5 ro5/ 10 ro7/ 32
Jessamyn - thanks, but I don't have that r5. I'm woefully lacking in R's.
aha, just got a bunch... i think i'm just missing an r4/6.
r4/6 = A mythical bird of prey having enormous size and strength. Plural.
Sheeps! Dratted sc6 - been looking and looking. Also 2 co6s, apparently, and a ca6.
Saladspork - the r5 is frequently rubbed on smooth substances to make them less slippery (if that helps!)
One of the co6's is related to an s4 - think geometry.
Right... you already got that! Sorry...
there are 5 co6's
forget that 5 co6's remark. think my stat generator needs work....
got it saladspork, thank you!
Bugs! Sc6 - highly-vesicular (almost "frothy") basalt
I have 2 co6/24s and one co6/30 (the one related to the co5/18.)
brandyjack, there better be 5 co6's! I've been looking for the fifth one for an hour.
Thanks, Sheeps - got it!
ok, down to C's now... 5 to go...
I finally finished.. whew!!!!
I do think the stats are somehow off today. I've got 98 words, and if the stats are correct, I MUST be missing a c4, but I've punched in every c4 combination multiple times now, and I really don't think there is another one. But, just in case... here are all my Cs, in order - anyone have anything I don't show? ca4/7 x2 ca4/6 ca6/27 ca6/24 cl4/6 co4/8 co6/30 co7/44 co5/18 x2 co6/30 co4/7 co5/16 co4/7 x2 co5/14 co4/6 co6/24 co7/36 co6/30 co6/24 cr4/6 cr4/8 cr4/9 cr5/20 Arrrggghhhh! :|
Torgone - yes, there are 5 co6s.
Sheeps! There's another Co4 for 8, unless I'm much mistaken.
jessamyn27, there should be 2 more co6/30's. I have one, a variant of co7/44.
Nope, I'm not mistaken... look again... :)
torgone, I know; darned if I can find them, though... ;)
Thanks, bugs! Can't believe I missed that one given how many variants of it there are! So I'm done (assuming there are only 99 words and not 100). Okay, off to do something useful. :)
Doogle - after Co7/44, there's one Co5/18, then the missing Co4/8, then another Co5/18.
Heh... you already got it! Ah, well... ;)
The weirdest Co6/30 is a variant spelling for "A small foxlike mammal, found in Central Asia." The Co word is also part of its taxonomic name.
Stop da music!! I have 98 words(including the co4/8 you're missing) but I'm missing one of your co5/18's AND your 3rd co6/30!
So there *are* 100 words then. Very frustrating - I now have no idea what I'm missing. The 2 co5/18s are very similar, and related. One is the plural of a c4/8, the other the singular of a c6/30
Ok, I'm stupid. I just need the last co6/30.
Sorry, I miscounted. There's been some confusion today. I blame Canada.
Well, so maybe there are 100 words and maybe there aren't. But Evanadine said that he got 99 words with only 9 6s, and there are definitely 10 of them. And the problem is that if anyone who has 99 or 100 words, they've stopped playing. Sigh. Guess we'll find out when the scores are posted.
torgone - one of the co5/18s is the singular of a plural you already have. The other is the plural of Doogle's missing co4/8.
argh - sorry to repeat. :( Not looking like I'll get past 96 words, unless remarkable things happen in the next five minutes! ;)
What are you missing, Jessamyn?
Right, I have both co5/18's. Doogle was just missing the co4/8 that just drops a letter from the second co5/18. I am still working on the weird co6/30. Sorry again for being a dolt. It's getting close to going home time.
Any clues out there for the ca6/24?
torgone, there are 5 co6's. I misinterpreted someone elses found list which mismatched mine. Unfortunately, doublechecking my program kinda runed the game for me....
Ca6/24 - establishments found in Monte Carlo and Vegas, for instance.
and i'll bet the one you don't have is an asian mammal (nicely vague hint don't you think?)....
cheese
Thanks, brandyjack. I was also led astray by some earlier posts. I just got the 5th co6/30. 99/1212. I guess that's it.
thank you doogle, i have been seeing a variation of that word all day! now which letter starts mysterious word #100?
Anyone have a clue for the R8?
R8 is a compound word of 2 4/5's
Jfactor, it's a compound of 2 words you probably have. Think AAA
Thanks U2...i got it:-)
I have s4 x 7 s6 x 2 what am i missing? thanks
i'm betting there is 100 words because my stat generator only shows 1 sa/6 and doogle found two.....
brandyjack, I only see 1 sa/6 in Doogle's 2:59 post...
could someone give me a hint re the missing s? no. of letters?
Yep, only 1 Ca6. Does anyone have 99 words with a total other than 1212?
Uneaixoise, it's a 4
thanks!
Can you all tell a newbie what you mean by R8/50 or C7/44?
First letter; Total letters/Points
Uneaixoise: one more s4
Ok...the R's have stumped me today...I'm going crazy trying to figure out Ri7
i have 2 ca'6s - buildings, and blunt
JFactor - there's no Ri-7. There's an Ro-7...
NM. first my dirty screen makes me misread Doogles SC6 as SA6, then he typo's SA6 into CA6....... getting my hopes up.....
LOL thanks saladspork...I guess I need to figure out what the heck I'm missing.
let's talk about the a-words now... i'm missing two. i have 8 a5's and 3 a4's... any ideas?
2 more a4's
Geez, Endian is a perfectly acceptable nerd term. Very sad.
done! w00t!
norn?
Uneaixoise: missing s4/4 pl n for A cluster of sporangia borne on the underside of a fern frond. or A reproductive structure in certain fungi and lichens.
got all the s's, thanks--now looking for 3 more c's! :-)
did anyone else have something weird happen to their ranking from yesterday to today? I slipped from 20 something to 60 something and I don't see how . . . just curious
Brandyjack - It wasn't a typo. Somebody asked about the Ca6 as well , which was what I was writing about in that post.
Uneaixoise> It has to do with the large numbers of new players i think. Less than 100 last weekend, now almost 500.
Uneaixoise - I've already written to Jamie about the stats thing. I slipped from 32nd to 65th, then to 74th, all during a time when I got 2 completions, a 17th highest score and a 20th highest score. I know that this huge influx of people is adding a lot of people who are scoring very well, but that still doesn't explain how one's ranking can plummet like that when one is posing high scores. I'd suggest writing in a comment - the more people he hears from, the more likely it is that he'll figure out the problem (if there is one).
Doogle - Do you only have 1 CA6? I have ca6/24 and ca6/27.
dacron?
brandyjack, i know the number of players has gone through the roof but when newbies who score considerably less are ranked higher, something doesn't add up (pun intended!)
thanks, Doogle
Brandyjack - ca6/24 and ca6/27 is correct. I posted all 10 6s at 2:59.
aaaahhhhhh, i finally got the last c6!!!
I think there is definitely a problem in the rankings. I am quite new (this is only my fourth -- maybe fifth-- puzzle), but I am already ranked #8? I mean, I've done pretty well, but I haven't even had a single completion!
ok, I'm way behind. any clues on the 2nd i4/5? Thanks I feel like I have tried everything
This is my 5th day - my husband found it for me. Bless his heart! How did it become so popular all of the sudden? I am having a blast with it!!
Whitney Matheson hipclicked it on USA Today's web page.
I'm glad she did. I hope those that have been playing for some time, don't mind the new comers.
I kept having to leave. I'm finally down to my last c. I have: ca4x3,ca6x2,cl4,co4x5,co5x4,co6x5, co7x2, cr4x3,cr5. I'm confused by all the earlier postings about what I'm lacking. Help!
smithchick I have 6 co4s.
Thx, sfneil
no problem... I seem to be missing a co6 myself...
I'm going to assume that the earlier stats of 99 words are correct, because then I can be finished!!! WOOHOO!!!!
Anyone have clues for Co5 & Co6...I'm as far as I've been since I started 3 days ago...but totally frustrated now:-)
sorry....I meant Co7.
There are 2 Co7's. Do you have either of them, jfator?
yes I have the one that I wouldn't snort about:-)
having a hard time finding the other though
jfactor: the other one has several meanings: a long cigar tapered at both ends. Also a luminous halo around a celestial body visible through a haze
the other co 7 is a plural of a co 6
oops - the C7 is plural of C6/24
or plural for a kind of beer
Thanks so much Tedybeth and Jax:-)
LOL, JAX !! may not be in the dictionary, but probably more well known!!
any help on the 2nd i5?
which one Jax?
the one I have was the easy one, at least to me, related to a thought, don't know the other one
JAX -- I have i4 x 4 ---- no 5's at all. Didn't the stats say a total of 4 'i' words??? did I miss something?
how about this one Jax: "Rainbow: iridescent"
Teddybeth, sorry it was an i4/5. Jfactor, I have one with that def with 4 points, is there another similar one with 5 pts? hmmmm
sorry, got it. Duh
that one should be worth 5 points
Got the other co7... thanks Jax!
I have the 99 words but are there 100 words?
Finally hit 99 and am hoping that's all! :) Good night, folks
Extra post to add - I got 1212 too, so I'm thinking 99 is all. Phew! ;)
done . . . whew!! night all
Okay... I am at 66 words and I have been on and off all day (though, in my defense, I have a 4-year old!!!) and I AM SPENT and going to bed 11:11... everyone make a wish! Good luck to the rest of you in further time zones. :)
now at 99/1212, so I, too, am assuming I'm done. yippee!
Trying for my first completion... I am missing an ac5/16 (I have the "bitter" one) also ca4 (I have 4/6 and 4/7x2) and co5 (I have 5/16 and 5/18x2) Would love some clues.
Found ac 5/16. Now missing di 5/16.
for the ac5's, you also need 'to grow cool', and 'squirrel food'
there are only 3 ca4's
for the co5/16, skin for the di5/16, 80's music that is universally hated. Except by me. I still love the stuff. Saturday Night Cowboy?
Hm.. Arrived to find 12 minutes left. At least I get in on the beginning of the next one. :)
thanks brandyjack - so close
