Mornin' from Bawlmer, Hon! Brandyjack - could I request that you not list the 2nd letter of words this early in the game? That's something that can be very useful when the going gets tough, but it's nice to be able to try to find words oneself at the outset. Thanks!
hola from il
Huh. Surprised that Freon is a registered trademark.

hi
how many words have you got?
Its only 8pm here
72 so far and running out of options fast. Really a tough grid. I am never that good at vowels.
Where do you come from
Holland, it is 9.00 am here. Got to go, back later. Good luck babbling.
sorry- Its 8am here in England
Nodding off at 3 am with 70 words... will be back later when the suns up here! Have fun everybody!
Ick. 91 and brain blind.
75/716 and struggling :(
12 A words and 3 I words - crazy
w6/45
meant to say 33 I words - even crazier !
Dianne - it's just 3 I words, not 33. Brandyjack also posts the *letter* count when posting stats. Confuses me too.
72/752 missing last t...will have to check after much needed sleep...did get the q's!!
85/859...I'm off to Norwich shopping..Brains fried!!! Have fun, take care, be happy & smile.. Lifes too short.. :) x
Doogle, thanks - I caught that after I sent the message. Even just 3 Is are 2 too many for me!
1 hour 30 mins, 68 words, got the Qs, 2 As, the 7, I'm happy with that! ooer, norra lorra laffs in this one! : D x
babbler - any help on the 2nd Q would be good have the Q5/18 struggling with the other
juls, they're both q5/18. would you like a definition? or is it too early for that?
babbler - my frustration levels would be helped with a definition but wouldn't want to spoil everyone elses fun too early! will give it a bit longer - thanks
got it - time for a coffee!!
Babbler/Juls - it's not so early in Hong Kong...................
Ooh, I'm playing this for the first time. Being German, this is a real challenge for me. I can't believe how many words some of you have already found. I'm at 28/253 and quite satisfied with it...

Welcome, Hightower, and don't worry, this is not a very competitive site. Every word you find is a good one :) And if you should check back here later, you will find many clues that help to find new ones. Have fun hunting!
Hi from Illinois
Wouldn,t you think that the plural of quorum would be quora?
Dianne - 11am bright and sunny in the UK, should be in the garden taking full advantage, just can't tear myself away - how sad is that?
Missing the last L. Any hints? I have: 4/4x7 5/10x2 6/18x1
Good thing you don't get penalized for typing in random combinations - I've tried over 40 different Q "words" but still can't get #2.

sorry its a l4/7
oh gawd am goin nuts, ubgrud, ur missing one l4/4, forgive me lol
Dianne One of the qs sounds like a bit of metal in your purse
miman - thanks but that's the one I already have. :(
thanks absolute annie! got it.
Dianne... the other sounds like ... a Canadian University in Kingston Ontario.

What am I missing in the o's, any idea? Ive got......... o4/4 x2 o5/10 x2 o6/18 x2
I never knew so many words didn't exist!!! lol
ubgrud - got it just when I got your message - thanks.
I'm new to Babble. Is it me, or is it incredibly tricky?? I should've stuck to sitting in the midday sun!

Is anyone else having trouble with the As. I have a4/4x5 and a4/7x1 and then get stuck. Any ideas?
miman - yes - along with most of the others!
there's an a5/10 and an a6/18
Tks cathy22w Bit of a difficult one today. I have 19 words to go and have hit a brick wall
Just finished the As and they were BAD! If you list what you have, I can tell what you are looking for.

Good Morning from Colorado
....almost an hour, and only 9 more words! Ubgrud-- I only have 3 ns, and I made one of them up!!
Is it the remains of the meds I took last night, or is this puzzle tougher than usual?
LOL. I made up one of mine too. I just don't see anything. Probably obscure medical terms or extinct animals.
Think this is a real tough one Munner. Way too many vowels. think I might just go and sit in the sun instead! :)
Hi munner, how are you doing today? It's not your meds, I'm afraid, I am really battling too!
Good call chessy, think I'll join you!
I used to be an English second language teacher as well as every grade K-12. I just try word patterns and come up with words I have no idea what they mean and don't care as long as I get the points!
sometimes I think that's how the puzzles are set - just by random typing ! :)
I'm really struggling too I've only got 31 words
Good morning all!
Aaah, I can see another support group forming as we speak- "random typers anon"! :)
surely "romdan pyters nona"? :)
Good call chessy LOL!
It's amazing the new words you learn that way, LOL!
Ive got 37 how the hey you can get 134 words is mad
Have we had any cllues on the Q's yet?
cj25- make sure you have all your plurals :)
sometimes I look at words and think they arent proper words but when I get the word I realise its such a simple everyday word, I need help hehe
lola100: LOL re "random typers anon" :) that is how my nickname was made...
Does anyone have the I's?
they are both qu5/18's :)
Any hints for the 7 letter word please?
Okay, so everyone meets at my place next tuesday for RTA. I'll do tea and coffee, you guys bring eats. Hahaha!

I'm blank... money from what country??
Jera, money in general.

Success!! Bless you! You don't have to quite spell it out for me! ;>
I'm one W short. Any clues, tips or other wisdom. I have: 4/7x4 4/10x2 5/22x1 5/28x1 6/45x1
so sorry! I was probably too obvious...
Sorry you are past me ubgrud
Oh no, obvious is sometimes necessary with the evil Q's. Now I must battle the final I!!
ubgrud, you need another 5/22- want a clue?
Yes Please! :D
One is a plural of a w4/10. The other is a tropical fish (sounds like a search engine or the noise you might make when you finish this puzzle!)
I have 2 i4's any help on last one?
lola100: Thank you!!! Perfect clues. I actually made the sound when I found the word... ;)
Ye gods that was a forefead slapper. So busy looking for weid words I overlooked a plain one!

Tks edmo
I feel at a disadvantage here. All you seem to be Brits..and your jargon is a wee bit different than here in the Southern USA..I imagine some of our words would throw you for a loop as well..(i want to visit ENGLAND!! and try mushy peas..lol)
I'm new here. Is there a way to see the final list of words after the puzzle is closed? I would like to be able to see what I missed!
Hi lianakate I can't say that I use all the words I find in daily conversation!!
mickie, the next day you can click on "yesterday's puzzle" and it'll give you a list of all the people that did it... I usually just click on the highest score, because that'll give you all the words. Welcome! :)
Thanks, Jen!
mickie. click on yesterdays puzzle at top of page
mickie. click on yesterdays puzzle at top of page
ha, mi, BUT..your clues are somewhat obscure..i feel like i just fell off the turnip truck..lol. I only play for an hour a day..do all i can think of..look at a few clues..then, VAMOOSE..i go nuts otherwise..only manage to finish most of the puzzle..with a usual 30 or so left unfound. (i want to go to England and try...Bangers and Mash..lol)
i could only find 80 words , dang! I am not gonna start using a dictionary..its too tedious. I do the words I know..and guess at a few..lol, THATS IT..am off to speed boggle..where i also am lousy..since i dont type fast..later, all..and ty..:)
Don't bother about mushy peas, lianakate, they are gross. But bangers and mash, thats much better!
Can someone give me a hint for the w6/45 pls?
Linda: it's plural of w5/28
Julie - I'm missing that one as well! Can I have another clue pls? I've be at it too long today!!
linda1 where ships dock
Could ne1 give me ne clues 4 the I's plz? I cannot find any of them...
One of the l's is a shakespearean king movieman that should get u started
movieman: I'm baffled on the i's as well, and have tried a lot of random wordlike arrangments too.
Soz absolute annie, i meant the i's (typo!!)
am stuck on the w5 w6 combo, "where ships dock?????
Kind of a drag that this site uses a font in which lower case l and upper case I are identical...
"fisherman's _____" in san francisco
absolute annie - it sounds like the klingon character from Star Trek - TNG (spelt differently)
two of the i's are daft insane never used words, (well Ive never used them) the other one is somthing I hate but need to do it, or a type of metal lol
sounds like what we fought in 1914and 39 with an f in it :)
Thanks everyone - I've now got w5/28 and w6/45.
Oh gawd, its staring me in the face, for some reason I keep forgetting bout that f in the corner, duh

Hi karenh! Anj- swop you an o for an l?!
Bullseye - Thanx SpriteLynn :)
Hang in there karenh...all for one... :)
Still a bunch to go... Are there really 33 H's??? :)
Deal Lola :) my Os are: 04/4 x 3 05/10 x 2 06/18 x 2
TomazianRedfist Just back from my BBQ and trying to tidy up You need another re4/4
Dearest Anj: you need another o4/4! There are 2 x or4/4, 1 x oa4/4 and 1 x ol4/4 :)
Hi SpriteLynn I have 31 Hs still looking for the other 2 Do u wnat a list?
I'm missing one R word. I have R4x8 and R5x2. What's missing??
Anj which o are you missing, or which o's do you have and I'll be able to tell you what you're missing :)
Hi all, wot no 'fete' or obscenities today?
Cheers me dear! It's the pesky ol4 le4/4 x2 le5/10 x 2 le6/18 lo4/4 x 5 lo5/10
woop, got the R's thanks Anj, now just the h's to go :)
Hi Chessy - no, but there are a few of the usual suspects all the same :)
miman - I've got 30 H's (all the ones in the 12:41 post) so you at least have 1 that I haven't got!!
y/w Tomiazan. I've nailed the O thanx to Lola. I've got 32 Hs, so the missing one is probably soooo obvious lol
Anj: it's the plural of a word meaning :a corrosive solution of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid! There is a book called "White *****nder".
Okay Anj, it's the lo5/10 I'm missing. Please help as brain seems to be on holiday today!
ol4/4 - A corrosive solution of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid. is also plural for a word that isn't in todays puzzle, if you need another clue can only think of one more that would give it away pretty much
SpriteLynn There are 2 he6/27
May I have a clue for the R5-18 please?
Judi sounds like a stone
think of a ball game played with hoops & mallets, and knock off the letters at each end.
Got it -- Thx miman!
Too bad there's no "e" to go on the end of that h/27
These are the H's I have (32 as I'm missing one): ha4/7 x 7 ha5/16 x 4 he4/7 x 7 he5/16 x 5 he6/27 x 2 he4/10 ho4/7 x 2 ho5/16 x 2 ho6/27 hw4/10 Please could someone let me know which one I'm missing? :)
Cheers LOla, I'll work on that one. Your L5/10 is a sort-of acronym for 'long range navigation'
lola100 there are 5 x ha5/16
no wonder I'm going mad - I'd written down that there are 15 T words, not 5!! aarrgh :)
Thanks Anj, just got the L! :)
Thanks miman, will work on that!
Lola, mt H list reads the same as yours :(
miman -- you said there are 2 he 6/27s. I found 1 he 6/27 and 1 ho 6/27. Am I missing an he 6/27?
Cheesy, it just SEEMS like 15 lol
forget it miman. found the answer if not the word.
Cheesy?
there are two he6/27 one is organs and the other a drug
MInski, there are 2 he/627s: 1) U2 song "Two H.... beat as One" 2) Rock star drug of choice...
eek! Sorry...dyslexic fingers again Chessy. They seem to like typos :(
Bye all got to put the grandchildren to bed. managed 125 words and will call it a day
Just have to say, the le6/18 would have my Honors English teacher choking on his coffee
Thanks Miman & Anj. Lola100 ~ you are missing an he 4/7. I have 8 of them.
I think I'm off one here - what am I missing? le4/4x2 le5/10x2 le6/18 lo4/4x5
This H is getting verry irritating. I'm going to have to join the 'romdan pyters nona' support group lol
I am missing a T...any clues plz? I have tr5/10, te4/4x2 & te5/10...
are there 32 or 33 H words?
yep you are missing lo5x10
MInski, there should be 33. I've got he4/7 x 7 but I can't see another...
Movieman, it's another te5/10 - wide brimmed felt hat worn in the sub-tropics. Also an area in Nepal.
So you'll be at the meeting then Anj? lol! I'm confused :{ miman said I needed another ha5/16 and then minski said I needed another he4/7 - I only need one more, not two!!!!!!
he 4/7s ~ to perceive sound ~to take hold of; sieze ~The barb of a feather used in trimming an artificial fly for angling ~a heron ~A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose ~Used to indicate the one or ones belonging to a person of a certain gender ~no definition ~something made or shaped with an axe is ****
I'm confused also as I seem to have one more he than I should but still only have 32 Hs.
MInski, your last clue ref axe - you sure that's not a he4/10?
I miscounted my he's. Sorry. I included my he 4/10 in with my he 4/7s.
Sorry for the confusion. Still missing some hs but baby is rather vociferously requesting some attention so have to go. TTFN
No worries Minski...the prime suspect is now a ha5/16 then...? Can't find that either :(
Anj, that must mean we are looking for an ha5/16. I have 4: - a military acronym - a word that sound like the opposite of love -male deer -a word with no def. but is only one letter different from male deer. Does that help at all?!
I have ha5/16x4... should there be 5? If so, I'm completely lost.
any one got a list of the n's? this is what I got.,.. na5/10 na4/4 x2 ne4/4 ne5/10 x2 ne6/18 ne4/4 no5/10
33 h's in the form of h4's x 18 h5's x 12 h6's x 3 currently I'm looking for my last h5
ab annie- you need a third ne5/10 :)
Cheers Lola...pretty sure Ive got the same as you. The word that is one letter different from the male deer means 'to drag along the ground' or ' the barb of a feather used to making artificial fishing flies'. The dictionary says it is also spelt 'harle' (yaaaay!) but Enable is having none of that (boooo }-()
and I have 2 ne 4/4's
Anj- yup, those are the ones I've got :( Just had to go for chocolate to sooth my frustration :)
Anj, Lola -- Those are all the H's I have too....
right, just had supper so now have energy to continue the fight!
whoot I found it, random typing strikes again, it's an ha5/16, that makes ha5/16 x 5
and that was my last one, time to go find supper :)
Tomazian- please don't go without giving us a clue!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone's got a wicked side lol. Reason this...it's a ha5/16 so the ha will acount for 5 points. The other three letters have to be 1 pointers as the 5 count means it's a 2 x score.
okay well the definition just says " A white person", but it's news to me
now can I go for supper?!? :) =D
Thanks tomazian, but still no closer to finding it :( will you come back and put us out of our miseries after your meal?:)
Lola - I got that h5/16! :) Think Courtney Love's band with an extra letter thrown in it... Or if you switch the first two letters, an (almost) bad thing to call someone.
oh looks like it's hawaiian in origin, one of a small stock of Polynesian borrowings into American English. a word common in Hawaii itself but not well known on the American mainland
SpriteLynn- you are an angel, THANK YOU! I knew there was a reason I liked courtney love's band!!!! :) :) :)
Someone on an American island might call a white person the ha5/16 word
Yaaaay! You're a star SpriteLynn. Welcome to 'romdan pyters nona' :) I'll have to dig out Celebrity Skin now...
Thank TomazianRedfist -- I never could have gotten that one on my own! At least with the H's done I can leave work happy -- though still only at 128!
I'm back and I got the last H. Thanks.
Right guys, that's me done! Third episode of Lost on tonight so think I'll watch that:) Cheers!

Oh, sorry - nevermind.
does anyone know what n i'm missing? na4/4x2 na5/10 ne4/4x2 ne5/10x3 ne6/18 no5/10 thanks!
kebek: it's a no4/4. think sushi ...
Man... this is doing my head in!!! And I still have a way to go.... Are lots of these words really obscure, or am I just not seeing them?
thanks chessy :)
18s... Missing 3 of 'em (I think). S6/18 - I've got the one you do with a sieve O6/18 - I've got the one that sounds like a bird (but isn't) A6/18 - I've got the one that's similar to the O that sounds like a bird. Any hints?? Thanks in advance!
so what is the max score?
any clues on the qu's?
This one definately seems stranger than usual. Stuck on 110 / 1094 pts.
both qus are 5/18 and to be perfectly honest I didn't know they were words. I found them by random typing.
there's an o6/18 that is a bird (and a baseball team, i think)
Hi Zade, it's a nightmare. crawled up to 111/1124 but totally stuck - like trying to knit jelly.
doogle - en6/18 & le6/18
Minski - lol.. today I am finding them ALL by random typing!
Doogle, of the 18's you are missing En6/18 - to sign up Ne6/18 - colorless liquid from orange blossoms Both Q's are Q5/18
i think the total is 1300 points
About time for a repost: --- 134 Words Total --- --- Word Count --- A - 12 E - 11 F - 5 H - 33 I - 3 L - 11 N - 11 O - 8 Q - 2 R - 11 S - 12 T - 5 W - 10
Thanks Gwen & Zade. I've actually got all those - 'fraid I wasn't clear. I'm looking for another A6/18, another S6/18, and another O6/18.
doogle, did you get the other o6/18? it actually is the bird (sing., ends in e...)
Thank you, Kebek!! I was sure that wasn't in there. And I'm from Baltimore!! <laughs at self>
np :)
Need help with my final E... I've got, in order: ea4/4 ea5/10 ea4/4 ee4/4 en7/28 er4/4 x2 What am I missing? TIA!
thanks for the Baltimore clue!!! lol.... I was sure it wasn't there too!
another ea4/4
Aren't there 11 e's?
Doogle, you're down: ea4/4 el5/10 en5/10 en5/16 Did you get the a6/18?
I have an en 6/18 that is the plural of the en 5/10.
stuck in the As. have got ae4/4 x 2 an4/4 ar5/10 ar6/18 ar4/4 all clues welcome :)
oh yeah, you also need: el5/10 en5/10 en6/18
Thanks again, kebek. The El5 is actually the only one I'm missing now. Now I hunt.
yeah, i'm stuck on the last a's. i need another ar5/10 and ar6/18...can't see them. sigh.
i know this sounds like a silly question but i've got one of the qu words but i dont understand how it can be 18 point, can anyone explain please?
en 5 en 6 (the plural) I'm missing the other two el 5/10 e something I think from the log
There's a few missing there Chessy. ai4/4 - think of a mound of stones used to mark a burial site, but with no view of the 'sea', if u get my drift ;)
kebek think it is one that sounds like a wireless antenna - and the plural
also missing 3 s's. here's what i have: sl4/4 so4/4x6 st5/10 st6/18 anyone? :)
hardyk112, the Qu counts as two letters even tho' it's only one tile. 5 letters = double points.
thanks anj
y/w - never heard of either of the Q words tho'!
thanks deeha, but i think i have those...
Kebek - the tough one is an ar5/10 with only one consonant.
sure do, thanx Anj
anybody hav any clues on the 2 qu words, i have one meaning external corner of building
Kebek - You're missing another St5/10, an So5/10, and whatever the one S6/18 I'm missing is.
Chessy, there are 3 ar4/4s: 1) place or region 2) warbled in an opera 3) statues, paintings, ming vases, half a cow in formaldehyde (!) ...that sort of thing :)
thanks doogle
ar6/18 think part of the body
thanx again Anj. Why does one always miss the blinding obvious ones! (too busy looking for obscure Hawaiian dialect words). Tho' I think I still need an ar4/7 & ar5/10
Chessy: Tell me about it :( The ar4/7 is a barking laugh, plural The ar5/10 (assuming you already have the antenna) doesn't have a cowin' definition so let's try your first ar4/4 with added 'e' :)
only 2 words left and yet it seems so far...
Done! Man, this one was brutal! Time for me to go shopping for a lightly used life!
does anyone know the second letter of the other s6/18 word? (i've got one st)
Anj - u r a star
its another st word
sandypops - do you have a definition of the other st word?
lower your cholesterol without drugs...sounds a bit like another drug to me
thanks!
another qu definition pleasee
YOu'rr welcome Chessy. So how's the jelly jumper coming along?? :)
v e r y s l o w l y . . .
did anyone post a list of how many words along with how many words of eahc particular length?
one of the definitions of qu word is A woman regarded as being disreputable, especially a prostitute
hardy; think Elizabeth R for both hope thats not too cryptic. why are so many scrabble words disallowed , I'd have finished hours ago
Cathy - scroll down and you'll see the stats any number of times. The easiest thing to do is paste them into a word processing program and print them out for reference.
another qu word is defined thus:A wedge used to raise the level of a gun.
yeah... i got the list of the amount of words... but i have noticed on previous games that people have sometimes posted how many of each particular word length.... not to worry... i will continue to scratch my head!! lol
thanks finally got my 2 qu words they were killin me to get!!
What happened to the second letter clue list? I scrolled down but can't find it!
How long do folks spend on this - I can only usually spare an hour or so each night so get nowhere near-only managed 53 words so far but having fun and am certainly addicted.The Sunday mail has a lot to answer for!
CathB, I sort of come and go during the day with this. And yes, the MoS has a LOT to answer for hahaha. Jera, the 2nd letter breakdown hasn't been posted yet.
Bummer, only 6 hours to go, brass tacks time for me!
Good evening from Atlantic Canada - Hope everyone is doing well tonight
Has anyone finished the A's? I'm missong 2
A qu word definition is: croquet played on a hard court surrounded by a bank. By the way, how does anyone know that there are only two qu words?
Jera, if you scroll down, I posted a few A clues for Chessy which you may find useful.
Thanks, anj, I think I already have those, hard to tell w/o whole list.
Need last T, maybe I can complete that letter! I have the bird, crying + plural & the hat
yeah the sunday mail has been good for something at last! there is life after countdown
That's the catch22 in this one :) ae4/4 x 2 ai4/4 an4/4 ar4/4 x 3 ar4/7 ar5/10 x 2 ar6/18 x 2
I believe the e7/28 could be referred to as a shower in Fangorn? My apologies. That just struck me while emptying my mind in the shower...
not for Richard unfortunately bless him ugh was that a sick thought?
Jera, tr5/10 now standing at platform 1 :)
Lol Doogle, very esoteric. The Babbletrix has you...
Thanks bunches anj you're a doll
..only in soft focus, dim light, and from the right angle ;)
Hint on last a5... I have the little mermaid
That should have been more question-like... I need a hint! :>
taking a break from today's fiendish puzzle to wonder who creates them. does anyone know?
ah, that one...it's medical-related and doesn't google very well :( TRy adding an 'e' to your first ar4/4...
jrs - My guess, and that's all it is, is that the puzzles are randomly generated, probably with the various letters having different probabilities of appearing.
Thanks... when at wits end, add an S or an E! ;>
Actually, I'd bet that the available letters in each puzzle basically represent a random draw of 25 tiles from the pool of tiles which comes in a game of Scrabble.
Except with Qu instead of Q...
Doogle - at first I thought so, too, but can a program be written cleverly enough to also count how many words can be created? And what database is used for the vocabulary - after all, several of these words aren't in the dictionary.
The daily stats aren't generated from the Babble site itself, or by its makers. Apparently there are several sites on the web which have Boggle/Babble solver programs, some written by our fellow gamers, which are used to get the stats. I've yet to see the stats not match the actual list of words found, amazing as that may seem!
actually the game is definetely boggle . the only connection with scrabble is the letter value hence the name babble give it a rest guys dont be so pompous!
Say what, Ferrari? What's pompous about pondering the mechanics of the game?
Doogle is correct about how the puzzles are generated.
you sound just like my brother
sorry
any hint on the an4/4?
Fascinating ... thank you all for the info. I'm taking a break. Perhaps if I don't see vowels for awhile ...
Gwen: an/4 is a small buffalo
That buffalo is a mainstay of Babble.
Thanks Bellabooks!!! I thought I had tried ALL combinations. LOL
this is a tough puzzle today
Hint on LE words, please. I have skinny & what student does + past tense.
Jera, small biz jet + pl
Thanks! Now I need one more but no idea size of it
I sure miss the hint list, where it gives 2nd letter & number of letters in word. What happened to that today??
le 4/ 4x2 le 5/ 10x2 le 6/ 18 lo 4/ 4 x5 I'm missing one
Gwen - you're missing an Lo5/10
Thanks Doogle. I've been trying to fit Sophia in there. LOL not navigation.
are there 6 he5's relly stuck
I need 3 Ws - any hints, pls?
cathyw--- try "rain" only w/a "w"
sorry-- cathy22w!
I've got 5 he/5's-- but canNOT find that 6th one!
lol... thanks aggie - you're from tnet, right? i am normally cath22
I think there are only 5.
i have 4 he5's... so am probably little help! This is really difficult.
4 of them are plurals of other H words and one is a body part.
Ah - thank you.... now I have them all... a moment of stupidity on my part!
I have all the Ls except for the LO 5/10. Any hints please?
Also, I have 2 IN 4X4s. Any clues for the 3rd i word?
minski - i don't have that either
minski - a heated implement you use to straighten your clothes out
minski did you see the movie forst gump? Lo plus what forest did. I would love some help. Clues please el 5/10 na5/10 na4/4 no5/10 ne 5/10 and another n that i have no clue about
i have one of the in4/4... but am clueless aobut the second!
thanks Cathy. That was definitely a brain fart caused by this impossible puzzle. I've been working off and on all day and still only have 104 words and 1007 points.
el5/10 - "To remove afar off; to withdraw"
OMG! Cath22! You still here???
minski... you have 3 more words than me!!!! lol... and I too have been lookiing at this on and off all day!
aggie - yes, ma'am!!!
I wish I could decipher half of what you're saying with those w5/28!! I've not a clue
How nice to see you here, cath! I 'm STUMPED on this puzzle! It's only the 3rd one I've done--- but I only have 47 words!!! Is there a trick to this?
w5/28 = a word beginning with w, 5 letters long and worth 28 points...
Elmer NE 5/10 and its plural are words I've never heard of and don't remember how I found them but here's the definition. A colorless liquid, C9H17COH, derived from orange blossoms and used in perfumery.
I've got that 5 letter w one, cath! Ya wants a hint???
aggie - nice to see you too! this is my third too... but this is definitely hard! the only trick i see is to try different combinations, and keep your eye on the clues as they come up on the chat thing!
No thanks aggie.. i do have it,... i was explaining the lingo to jenn!
Cathy the only way to find the 2 IN words is to randomly play with letters. That's how I found them. ...checking for definitions.... I don't know how much they'll help though. ~ A South American freshwater dolphin (Inia Boliviensis). It is ten or twelve feet long, and has a hairy snout. ~ A small, usually ornamented box that is hung from the waist sash of a Japanese kimono and has compartments for holding small objects such as cosmetics, perfumes, or medicines.
there's one that's the name of a little mermaid that starts wi "ae"!!! I can't get that one at all! Or one of the qu ones! I have the one that sounds like "coin"
Cathy22w Hey thanks, now I might get somewhere.......lol
thanks minski... I did have the dolphin one... but not the japanese thing... whatever that may be! i will look for words of a far eastern theme!
I also use this website www.a2zwordfinder.com for some help finding words
lol jenn... good luck.... you'll certainly need it!!! i started this at 6.30am... have been back and forth, but still only have 101 words!
the name of the mermaid is also a washing powder in the UK
thanks minski... great resource!

Thank you brandyjack! At last... I can go to sleep! lol... didn't get all.. but I got enough.
just wish i was as sharp-eyed as my program.......... 79 words and counting.
Absolutely cannot find the na4 and na5! Help!
smithchick, na4/4, google cella
smithchick, na5 - nigerian money; na4 - The inner room or sanctuary of an ancient Greek or Roman temple
na5 is nigerian money
haha, nevermind :)
the two na4's are the singular and plural of the room in the ancient temples contaiing the stone gods, or the are where the liturgy is performed. The Na5 is another dratted currency
anyone have the or6 that is not a bird?
any clues on the No4 and No5
no4/4 An edible, dried preparation of red algae of the genus Porphyra no5/10 A water wheel with buckets attached to its rim, used to raise water from a stream, especially for transfer to an irrigation channel.
thank you gwen :)
what is the el5/1?
el5/10 2. (Law) To convey to a distance, or beyond the jurisdiction, or to conceal, as goods liable to distress. an anagram of login that starts with an e
still can't figure out the or6. Gotta sleep
thanks so much!
finally got them all! anyone need clues b4 i pass out? ;-)
or/6 - yellow bird, baltimore or....
I need two... ha/5 and ro/5... any clues?
Ha5/5 -- I can only find 4, and they are all plurals :(
yep, got the yellow bird from baltimore. Need the other one.
the other or/6 is a type of window that projects from a wall, but does not get support from the ground.
the only ha5 that isn't a plural is a body part.
ha5/5 is hawaiian for honky
argh, what kind of body part
mz - ro5 - the name of a cheese, but drop the ending -- xtra hint, it uses the 'qu' ha5 - there are several ... 4 of them are plurals of ha4's, the other...take the name of courtney love's band and add a vowel (saw that clue earlier in the day!)
pk.... thanks, those were awesome hints! :)
got the hawaiian one, thanks
brandyjack... hehehehe I had to google it and cursed that it was another Hawaiian word. I hate those!
i quite agree. if there is an english equivalent, then the non-english should not be allowed.
thanks for the hints, my first time getting them all. :)
I could use some clues to my missing Ws. Have wa4/7 x 2 and all wh but still need the we and a wa/4. Help - please
wa4-sounds like what you do with your clothes
wa4/7 - A piece of plank two yard? long and a foot broad. wa4/7 - A large open farm wagon wa4/7-To make aware in advance of actual or potential harm, danger, or evil.
we4/7 - transition from breast feeding to bottle feeding
Brandyjack - thanks for your help - got the we but the other are beyond me. Didn't do too well today (95) so I'll get out of this one and hope for better things in a bit.
