cbr - ain't that the way? lol... i need to get done by noon tomorrow (us eastern time) becahse i am going on holiday for a few days! it'll bug me otherwise!
And isn't it Murphy's Law that you have limited time on the day with 433 words instead of just 80 or 90!
a7/28 a8/40 a9/72
EXACTLY! i can't believe this, after the last couple of puzzles we have had!

Good morning everyone. From one extreme to the other - only 41 words on Monday. Unlikely that I'll have time to finish today!
morning all. no way is this getting finished today - so many words, so little time...!
433 Words, may as well give up now :-) On your marks...
..and hard to ask for clues "it's a p word, but not one of these other 60 I'll just describe"!
doesnt accept arsy or arsey! Tsk tsk :-)
chessy very true. but will there be a chance to ask when there are so many to find?
perhaps it's cleaned up its language - there've been some pretty dodgy words recently!
Hi Jera - thanks! hope your daughter keeps up the fencing, its definitely worth it.
Good morning, Rhiannon... did you see where I replied to you yesterday?
I did - i gave up early yesterday! thanks for the compliment. glad to hear your daughter loves fencing - it can become an addiction!
So far it's only been a camp-like/worshop atmosphere. I told her if she's serious & does all the intor stuff, I'll buy her equipment. It's a bit pricey!
Right now she rents from the academy, but we bought her gloves.
Is this the most available words ever? It's the most since I've been playing but that isn't all that long.
Well, I'm going back to bed for a few hours until the baby gets up. Only 300 more to go!
Hi Jera - it is expensive but a lot of the equipment lasts for ages if you take care of it. recommend getting her own mask as club ones can be a bit gross (in my club anyway) and you can get a better fit.
I am very new to this game - and addicted already - but am I missing something ? - how does everybody KNOW how many words to look for ?
look at the stats posted at the bottom of the chat area
wow...i'm awake
433? I don't know that many words :( Morning All :) Cancel all appointments...
you and me both Anj
It's scary isn't it? Brandyjack hit the ground running with some juicy ones, but as Chessy mentioned, clues are going to be a nightmare. 82 Rs? ...bleat. Anyone own a time tanner??
Morning All from Croydon.
Morning Bobsta from Croydon, from Moozey in Carshalton
Morning Bobsta. I think everyone has their heads down on this one!

Argh! You're not wrong... 224
Good morning! I think that there may be too many words this time around. They are flying off my fingertips right now, but I expect that won't last long LOL
Won't allow "grok", it's obviously never read "Stranger in a strange land"
Yoink, 223? You're a genius. I'm 163 and must work now.
Genius? I wish! And I'm only about halfway :(

st9/78
st9/78? What Sky WON'T show at live sports events hahaha :)
well that's all the 'O's done LOL
but Anj will do for free ;o)
Fanks ANJ very helpful and funny;)
Jen - clue for that word...people who run through events nude..starts with 's' and ends with 's'
Cheers Moozey, but I try to hang to at least a shred of dignity on most occasions lol
lol
there are TEN 9 letter words?
Thanks! Even though we don't get SKY here in DC, I remembered my soocer games from time in England. LOL (plus the many clooege football games here)
Oops, meant college!
from postings earlier there are r9/60 r9/54 a9/72 p9/90 & p9/66 plus the s9/78 leave 4 more to find :((
the p9/66 is plural of a p8/50
I've got an r9/66 ...
Well that's 240 in 2.5 hours using plenty of hit'n'hope. The next 193 are gonna hurt, I just know it :( Bring me coffee & chocolate...catering size :)
Hi ubgrud! any clue for the kr6/30??? thx ;)
Micha - you might see it on the moon but first letter with a K instead of a C
thx Moozey you're gr8!
ubgrud, i have a ke5/24
hi pat5
anyone has the 5 Ks that Ubgrud doesn't have??!!
Hi Uneaixoise!! any hint about the ke 5/24??
Moozey: RSI???
voted for him in last election
Cheers - that was a very democratic clue Uneaixoise :) Fmitch - any clue on the p8/50??
Good morning from Boston (US, not UK)- don't know how I'll get even halfway through while still getting some work done. Micha - kr6/30 sounds like the big, round valleys on the surface of the moon, but spelled with 'k'.
Swimmy - Repetitive Strain Injury after tapping at your keyboard all day
I think I'm losing the will to live ....
me too chessy...the k's are killing me
LOL Moozey, I think hunt and peck typists like me are at less risk, we are literally 'all over the place' LOL How's your score so far?
P8/50 An ornamental flower garden having the beds and paths arranged to form a pattern. (french)
... when I think I still have as many 't' words to find as there were in the whole of the recent puzzle ... forget it!:)
Uneaixoise could you elucidate your voting clue for us non-Brits?
Hey, jrs, I'm in Boston, too!
the ka6/30 is killin' me! any hints?
could always say it is a County in Ireland us Brits should get that one
ka/6 is the plural of ka/5
there are 2 x k6/30
then I am screwed, cause I don't even have a ka5 that can be made plural. :( thanks guys anyway!
jen.this is the only way i am coping.. http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/
Yes, but which bit of a2zwordfinder do you use?
I have already started using that today too... guess I am just missing it
the only ka5 i have is already plural .... :(
FMitch - did you know your P8/50 becomes a P9/66. Thanks :o)
partial word look up...i put in the first 2 or 3 letters
Me neither, Jen
Moozey - yup I did, good one isn't it
Sorry, forgot the American election (now how could I do that???)
rolin... I use that one and another one at http://www.oneacross.com/ is useful too... haven't used either yet today although I only just started... 1st 54 words in 20 mins... gonna be a long day!
agzam2 - add the letter s in the middle of your ka5 and you will get your ka6 and then make it singular and it will be your other ka5
Woo hoo! I was looking across instead of looking down!
Cheers Fmitch - result! :)
rolin, that's great..thanks!!
Still have 4 K's to go and a gazillion others, but I'm off to the gym. Good luck everyone!
hey Anj...noticed you talked to Kallia yest..whilst i was zzzzzzzzing...Mid Sept. did you eventually work out what she was trying to tell u without being too obvious..... about warmpost.com or co.uk
hi moozey.....hi to the rest of the world...HERE WE GO...
hi tbear get comfortable
This actually inda cool... most words are quadruple: the word, the plural, the ''doer'' of the root word, then plural ''doers.''
With that in mind, 400-some isn't that outrageous.
haven't checked yet....is it gunna be a bumpy ride...if so I'm glad I gave up flying...rather be a passenger. Will I need alcoholic refreshment to get me thru?
alcohol - deffo :)

Dr God wants us..............
Hey Bear, got there in the end lol :) It's the Babble that does it. I now have thousands of new words slumming it in my vocabulary and they are all fighting for attention. I would probably have an aneurysm, but that word is fighting with kumquat about yesterday's ungulates at the moment :( Help!
but not as his "sunbeams" for sure....were all gunna turn into ZOOMBIES
Or Babblies?? What shall we call ourselves? The Great Dr God has yet to name us....... : D
ah Anj.....you need a liitle bear hug.....it'll be alright hunny
433 words? Okay, anyone that gets all of this one has WAY to much time on their hands!!!
Cadfan,at least I never finish a puzzle so today doesn't have to be an exception....lmao
How about The Be-Babbled? Thanx for the hug Bear :) Hey, i've found au7/28, au8/40 and au9/72. Severe, stern or strict in disposition or discipline (and variants)
Dr God, what is time?
LOL. I've finished a couple of small ones - but on days when I had lots of time... this isn't one of those!
thanks anj.... them's were good 'uns
is anyone else having some trouble with beta...it's not putting one of your stern ones au7/28 on my list and telling me I've already used that word????????????? Is it beta or my laptop???
got a good p7/48.... common herb
worked for me tbear perhaps its your laptop or connection or something
beta does that with me too. I find sometimes, when it does its refresh, I lose the words I just put in, so I have to keep a close eye on my list all the time.
going back to the good ole original....however time consuming....otherwise I'll definately never finish a puzzle........!
I am having trouble with this site accepting words..there are 3 so far, ..one means to have sorrow for something done, and its plural..and two others..I know these are words..simple words..but it isnt taking them!!!!
hi Liana, let the page settle, then try again. It will take them eventually.
I sooo didn't send that twice!!
lol! we can call it the Beta Blocker!
LMAO babbler!!
lianakate......me too...wouldn't accept au7/28 meaning stark....think there's a prob with the beta babble...go back to slow original...gl
ty, babb...i went on to other words..and they wouldnt take them , either..grrr..same thing last night..so I just quit.
errr, what does LMAO stand for? am not up on these things! I think it's something good....
that damn beta blocker (very good babbler!!) is only blocking girls....is Dr God 'aving a laff
GRRRRRRR....how long does one have to let it settle..I think i am on the original..and not the beta.
lianakate, what is the first letter of them words please?
laff my (posterior) off LMAO
Babbler...I should have said Laff my re4/4 off...to explain LMAO
lol
ooooh! lol! very funny! just off to do some housework and laundry. back soon....

Anyone noticed that the clock in the beta version has gone a bi 'tilt' ?!
ANJ.......WHAT CLOCK???
If you actually hit refresh - the clock works again - weird
the clock was like that yesterday too
so it does thanks crb
tbear - the clock looks like a Pokemon ball beneath the grid - red and white and counts down to the end of the puzzle
Countdown timer...it was showing about 3 hours to go in Beta so I bolted to the old version
GOT THE CLOCK.......slow or what....by the way while ur there...mine is the obvious,plus...underscore cook @ warmpost.co.uk...i think u,me & Kallia have started the club...nxt step mid sept
ok there is def a prob with beta version....just come over and 'error on page note' at bottom has gone.Everything looking more normal just snail pace page refresh...BYE BYE BETA
Cheers Bear...just given it a roadtest :)
The clock keeps on saying NaN hours left before the puzzle closes. But it's been doing that for a few days now
Does anyone else find that the clock says "NaN hours left before the puzzle closes" after you've entered an invalid word?

I GOT IT I GOT IT I GOT IT!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO Thanx Green Eyes & begrery
bosta..heheh,,i was wondering of you got it, and clues on re/9??
Chessy, re the er6 & 18, can't figure that one out at all. Whatever I try doesn't work. Anything else?
I have an re9 that's plural of an re8
re9 is a plural of re8/50 and is a swift reply
There are at least two re9's re9/54 - police nab someone again re9/66 - those who echo
Mary - if you google 'book misprints', the word should come up in the third entry down ...
thanx skrag, didn't think of the police one.
jcoates, for the other r9 think police
THere's also an re9/66
is there a breakdown of the 9 letter word anywhere?
which 9?
sorry meant to say 9 letter words!
Sorry, i've only got four 9's. help with the others please anyone?
ok got the other re 9 also.
a/9/72 p/9/66 p/9/66 p/9/90 r/9/54 r/9/60 r/9/66 r/9/66 s/9/78 still missing 1 a/8/40 a/8/40 a/8/40 e/8/40 p/8/70 p/8/50 p/8/50 r/8/40 r/8/45 r/8/50 r/8/50 r/8/40 r/8/40 s/8/40 s/8/60 t/8/50 t/8/40 still missing 3
Bobsta..those who echo?..
green eyes...say again?
green eyes, if you say something over and over again you may be a re------ (then you pluralize it for re9)
Chessy, millions of thanks, I know that word but thought I had only one A. That's what you get when you're working with 433 words.
oh i got it!..thanks...
thanks for the echo clue! bobsta you should be working!!!
253 gone, only another 180 to go *groan*

cat2 there is a 4/4. a 6/27 word A mechanical model of the solar system.
any clues to the a9/72
a9/72: an adverb that means in a simple or uncluttered fashion
Uneaixoise could you give the 2nd letter for the bird clue? i can't see it
pa
need one more letter?
Uneaixoise, do you have all of the P9's, i am missing one.
go on then!
par!
how did i know you were going to say that!
great minds . . .
that's twice I've done that in this game. I already had the word, thanks for your help. a9/72
Denny, thanks! Got em!
got it Uneaixoise thanks!
begrery, i only have two p9's--how many are there?
i'm giving up at 277 words! i hope tomorrow's is a quicker one!!
Uneaixoise/Denny, still looking for the par9, any other clues, besides the bird one?
pa/9 clues?..bird isnt working :(
nah birds not enough. I'm really dense. I think I've got the general idea but the wierd spelling combos I've trid have not been it.
Uneaixoise: I've got 2 pa9/66's (but still not the bird one... I've tried every weird spelling I could think of!)
there are three p9's, i found the third. they are all plural: pa9/90 pa9/66 x 2
pa9/80 Bash together bits of the alternate spellings.
it looks like an ESL spelling of a very common housepet bird, usually in the green/yellow family
3 syllables. 1st syllable is a golfing term ie 2 under.... 2nd syllable is the sound you will make when you see it! 3rd syllable sounds like a famous poet who wrote an ode to a nightingale
oops! 3rd syllable with the a!
thanks guys. thanks denny. I really am thick sometimes. But the spelling out of it helps. :) good times, and with that I go back to work.
denny -- excellent clues!
Is anyone else finding that the beta version of Babble is sooooo slow tonight? I've just gone back to the old version and it's much faster.
any clues for the other p9/66? I've got the one to do with kids feet....
that's what all the bird stuff has been about
Thanks Babbler! Lady Smiler, I've been having the same problem. keeps freezing etc. well will grace is on in a bit so i am goning to make myself a nice vodka and tonic and put my feet up. retiring with 175!
denny....lol...im still cant get it.. it means..i NEVER will..i golf! I know the 1st part..and the poet..but the middle has be baffled
babbler, first 4 letters mean to separate (or something you can do to your hair), last five letters are if you make mistakes
the bird stuff is p/90. I've got that, and a p/66 (kids' feet). There's another p9/66 somewhere...... dunno where tho!
Cheers Denny...enjoy...and don't forget the ice and a slice...lol
Finally got that p9/90... What a funky spelling! The 2nd syllable was what threw me. And the fact that the 3rd syllable doesn't have a long "E" spelling. Babbler: The other p9/66 is the plural of an ornamental flower garden having the beds and paths arranged to form a pattern
it is a french word having to do with paths in a flower garden.
yayyyyyy!!! thx guys! : D
i've got p9 x 3, r9 x 2, s9, and a9--what am i missing?
Just curious if my 1:31pm post showed up. I listed 9 of the 10 9s and 17 of the 20 8s.
the bird clue.... I have the bird but can't get the spelling... it's the middle bit!
yes . . . sorry, Jamiekins
Ginger...forget the way the word sounds. Pretend it sounds like set
Same here GInger - I'm confounded by that one - just can't come up with it
There is something deeply frustrating about having 130 words and knowing you're not even half way home
has anyone finished today?
got it.... thanks! CadFan... think 2 of a letter not one
ok, jamiekins, now i've got all the 9's you listed--did you find out which one you/we are missing?
dunno--i'm at 349
There's something frustrating about knowing that there are more words that start with "R" than I usually find in an entire puzzle :)
Uneaixoise - No trouble before, I just wasn't sure if there was something funky going on with the beta babble making my post only show up to me. :) I haven't found any more 8s or 9s yet, but I do know that the missing ones start with A, P, R, S, or T. I've finished the other letters.
I'm right behind Uneaixoise at 342/6006
Holey moley - finally got it - I was hung up on the wrong 5th letter.
356 but less points 5931
any clues for the 2nd r9/66 pls? I've got the one 'again and again and again'.....
Kallia! You kept that quiet :)
r9/66 witty conversations
CadFan and Ginger, make sure you use that p8 to get the P9
thx Kalia!! good clue.
hi Anji well never one to blow my own trumpet,,,had a good run earlier, but think I've got to the end. Did you take up tbear's invite?
DOH!!! or in my case the 9 to get the 8......
a hint on the e8?
Thanks for that Chip!
e8 is an enzyme
GingerUK what's the second letter of the p9/90 please
Might have a jar tomorrow. Have you got that p9 bird thing? It's driving me crazy :(
Lady: Second letter of p9 is a
ANG Long john silver's bird minus the t poet - a :)
Anj, you build the p9 off of a p4/7 and a p8
What's the 2nd letter of the s9?
should have been ang... and plus the poet lol
i thought it was an enzyme but the puzzle won't accept it . . . i checked the spelling and i've got that right--is it a weird alternate spelling?
thanks chip
add one letter to the au7/28
Ouch, just finished the A's. Brain hurts. aa 4/4 ae 4/4 ae 4/7 ae 6/18 ae 7/28 ak 4/8 ak 5/18 al 4/4 x2 ap 4/6 ap 5/14 ar 4/4 x4 ar 4/7 ar 5/10 x2 ar 5/16 x3 ar 6/18 x2 ar 6/27 ar 7/28 x2 ar 8/40 as 4/4 as 6/18 as 8/40 as 5/10 x2 as 6/18 at 4/4 at 4/6 au 7/28 au 8/40 au 9/72 ay 4/7
Uneaixoise - I don't think it's a weird spelling. But think of the waist of your favorite sweatpants for a pointer in the right direction. skrag - that should help a lot!
There's a p4/7? ...bleat :(
Anj, for the p4/7 thing of what Tiger Woods almost always shoots below.
I'm sorry...it's a p4/6 my fault
Chip, u sure that's not a pa4/6??
thats actually a p4/6 and plural is 5/14 couldnt you work out my clue Ang?
yeah sorry about that, I was reading the 7 for the 70 I have under that word...it's a p4/6 from it you can get the p8 and p9
OK, got it...thanx to you & Kallia :) I'm having a 'mare tho' :( Too many words, not enough time hahaha
anyone else looking forward to LOST at 10
hey tbear
I am tbear!!
I'm not I saw it on E4 last week but I am looking forward to Lost on E4 at 11.00
b4 anyone else claims him....the doctor's mine
No No No Jack is allllll mine
gerroff! mine!
have resisted temptation to watch it on e4....it's repeated on sunday aft/eve.....it's rather daft but gr8 escapism
He doesn't do anything for me ;)
there's a lot of detail. it stands up to 2 viewings. I watch on ch4 and e4. (proper saddo!!)
I CLAIMED HIM1st Moozey I'm almost certain ura fella...does this mean.....ahh
I'm a woman, stop thinking I'm a bloke. So phhhbbbttt Jack is mine
has anyone got near the total words yet?
how does everyone know I'm a llllllady?? (is it really obvious?)
Tbear and Jack up a tree.....
Jack desperately climbing down to be with ME
I don't even have to try, Jack knows I'm a llllllady
so Babbler you are a bloke dressed up as a lllllllady
LOL !!! oops, didn't think of that! can't type much, can't stop laughing...... I'm a girl!
yeah right ;o) lol
I'm a girrrrrrrl!
that is an awfully gruff voice you have there Babbler lol Anyway Jack's mine, end off
suuuure...you're a girl and I'm gonna finish this puzzle...uh-huh...we believe you
as I recall, it's dog eat dog, end of (I honestly can't type more, laughing too hard!) : D
i dont
nowt bloke-ish about me!
I'm not going to eat that childs dog, nor will I eat the polar bear maybe Jack prefers vegetarians
so the offside rule Babbler....
dunno. don't care either!
hahaha I bet you were itching to tell but then you would blow your cover tee hee
I could have tried to impress you lllllladies, but all I could think about was shoes. Someone tried to explain it with if you're out shopping, and someone spies a pair of shoes, but you're nearer the counter, so you have to get the shoes off the other person and buy them before they have a chance. something like that...... : D I don't know!!!
what the hell have I started......got mascara running down my face with tears.....only14 minutes to repair the damage....stop it u BOYS LMAO
hate to break up the fun, but can someone help me with the s 9
rude people on a football pitch!!! lol!!!
not that I know anything about football......
k, thanks for the hint babbler, but as an american I have no idea what people on a football pitch are called...rude or otherwise
new clue for the pa/9?? the bird isnt working!
That was way too funny, him indoors wanted to know what I was laughing about, I mentioned shoes and he switched off, so nothing new there then
how many have you got babbler?
S/9...run about in the nude in an unsuitable place maybe?
chip -- ok, now let's see.... heard of Erica Roe? (is she in google). You must have people who do this in american sports games.? Not the contestants, but enthusiastic members of the public.... U got st6/30? add letters to the end....
chip - a person who takes their clothes off and runs around at a sporting event. Babbler could tell you all about it HE knows all there is to know about boys stuff
mo-- I've got 204 words. how many you got? probably more than me! cos I'm a girrrrrl
chip that was lovely.....thinkwhat u get on your windscreen if oily...then add an er and then plural it..GL
well I only have 167 shows what a girlllll I am hahaha
Moozey!! I can't breathe..... : D lol!
well if you were a girl like me with big lungs ;o) you wouldn't have a problem lol
lungs?? oh help, I'm not going there......!
ive only got 215 and im an old lady!
skrag: I can't get the at 4/6. Hint, please.
good try Moozey with him indoors bluff....methinks if you became a s8 we would know for sure...!!!!! Next televised gay womens footie match...
mo's probably been around a bit that is why she is doing so well :o)
a4/6if a give you you a tap on the head will you get it?
mo-- you're just showing off!
the first part of the pa 9 sounds like a French detective and the second part sounds like sets but with a k
no im only a poor country lass
if I got my bits out at a sporting event, I think him indoors would not notice but when one of the children told him he would disown me
time for me to drool over Jack, being a lady and all! : D thx for the giggles, GUYS! 'see' you all tomorrow!
and GALS - have fun drooling Babbler thanks for the good laugh
Well after all that fuss....it looks like Kate's got Jack...they just said she's seen something scary,next on LOST!!!
yeah you up a tree trying to kiss Jack, now that would scare anyone
I'm gunna try the impossible....babbling and Jack. Bye Moozey and Babbler....leaving together
hey guys can you not give any of the Lost story line away. I record it so me and my hubby can watch it together at the weekends so please don't spoil my fun!!! I daren't read any more postings!
Don't worry one eye on the screen the other on my laptop
Thank heavens I found this game and all you gr8 funny people....LOve kissing up trees...bye 4 now
Don't worry Denny no spoilers allowed in here, that was just tbear wishing she was with Jack, poor deluded soul :o)
I've got 228 words, over half done, been at it all day. Have a hairline fracture on my toe so doc told me to stay off it, what better way than babbling. But now I must stop to cook dinner for the family. Will try to log on later.
I have 54 words. I suck at this. I'm doing the thing where you just start typing random words that look like they could be some thing but you really have no idea if it's an actually word or not. Good times...
Promise Denny.....the me and Jack up a tree isn't part of the plot ......YET!!!
bye Mary CU later
Holy cow! I go away to fold laundry and I come back to everyone heading to the nut house! TEEHEE!!!!Can I come along?!?!? }:)
Found the last 9. It's an r/9/66 and has an r/8/50 that goes with it. If an r/8/50 does what his name is a second time, he r/9/66.
Moozey ur just jealous u didn't get a claim in 1st
i 've been having dreams about the big guy :-p !! no seriously i bagged jack when he was in party of five many moons ago
tbear - I hear you are not the cuddly type of bear, more like a YETI. Jack will think I am udderly divine
sorry about the sporadic double posts beta is playing around with my posts
So there are three R9/66's?
skrag - yep
I'm a gorgeous bear.....:( Denny keep dreaming LOL
Moosey, tbear ... I'm laughing too hard to play ;-) LOL

i'm intrigued by the toesock bit...
is it a spelling mistake?!
Denny: There are 3-P/9's
Here's a recap of all the 8s and 9s: a/9/72 p/9/66 (garden) p/9/66 (little children) p/9/90 (bird clues) r/9/54 (police clues) r/9/60 (sorry folks) r/9/66 (discussions) r/9/66 (those who say things twice) r/9/66 (those who say things more than twice) s/9/78 (naked people) a/8/40 a/8/40 a/8/40 e/8/40 p/8/70 p/8/50 p/8/50 r/8/40 r/8/45 r/8/50 r/8/50 r/8/50 r/8/40 r/8/40 s/8/40 s/8/60 t/8/50 t/8/40 t/8/40 t/8/40 These should be in alphabetical order, unless I mis-typed.
Do you know what toe socks are? Do you know what a sock monkey is? That's kind of it. That and is sounds crazy...
can anyone help with a9/72 please?
Even worse....imma chic (music chimes in) *DUN DUN DUUUUUN!*
Alright, I am done with work. Be back tomorrow to feed my addiction. *coughs*
bye TSM

Cheers speedfreak.At 264 I`m quitting.Brain dead.Nite all.
Nevermind, it hit me more than once...
ginger - r9/60 someone who is rueful is a ? p9/60 is a small french garden. 2 syllables 1st syllable is to split something in two and the 2nd syllable is to be incorrect

thanx Denny, got both of them now :)
and 2 ice poles....orange flavour. Hi Anj....
Missing one pe7/36. I've got the one with a fruit in it. Help!
LOL Moozey. I've got to go and do a few things domestic but will be working on that 'p' list, since I've still got 14 of 'em to find. Thanks to those who posted that - at least I'll know what I'm looking for now. If anyone wants any lists off me just ask and I'll post when I return.
Anj....u losing it again.....time 4 another bear hug ( )
Other pe7 - no definition listed, but think of a type of golf club and change the 2nd letter
pa 7/48 - herb
Thanks, skrag!
Ta :) I think i'm a lost cause now. This one is personal. Er...chicken pizza at this hour? You're in for a quick bout with insomnia then...
anyone got total point count yet?
Ginger, how about a decent clue for the P9/66? still lost :(
night all. It's beaten me thoroughly today hope it's a good one tomorrow or the ironing wont get done again
mtnjock - it's the plural of your pa8/50.
Which one? there are 2
i am making nachos..or have them made..just have to pop under broiler..waiting for guests..so I snuck up to find a few words..Like hell i will..damn! My brains are mushier than the refried beans!
both, all I can seem to get is the bird one... garden and little children aren't much help right now.
nite all....gunna play backgammon...good hunting
i have lost my mind. I tried to type in parakeet twice.. slapped monitor when it wouldnt take it..grrrr
(just a quick word about how my puzzle is going) scrabble boggle babble google gobble dabble subtle gabble trouble bubble babble double trouble wobble throbble thrombosis necrosis i'm dead....
bird is spelt like this long john silver's pet minus the t poet - the a :)
I've been trying parakeet, peregrine and anysort of pea-bird too. AARGH! Can't get that bird clue.
should read poet you still here anj?
Lian, there is no para combo on the board... :)
finally got to me!!! PLUS poet
guys, lose an e, and double your r's and there is only one a in this spelling. :)
jacula, i have k4 x 4, k5 x 4, k6 x 3--what am i missing? thanks
Thanks mtnjock - got both the bird words now. I'll do that 'k' list for Uneaixoise now.
I am about to head out, does any one need help with the a9 word before I go?
Full 'k' list: ka 4/8 ka 5/18 ka 6/30 ka 4/8 ka 5/18 ka 4/8 ka 5/18 ka 4/8 ke 4/8 ke 5/18 ke 5/24 ke 6/39 ko 4/8 kr 6/30
thanks, jacula!!!
a hint on the "ko"? just don't see it
centre of an apple
apple ____, tell me more, whos your friend? (old children's rhyme)
thanks . . . I would SWEAR I'd tried that already :)
Still here Kallia...sobbing gently into my keyboard lol.
its a pig , I am going to have to give up when I've found the next few....lol 378 now
Bloomin' heck, Kallia! 378? You're doing well. Anyone want to take a bet on how many will finish today's Babblegrid?
Don't cry, Anj. It's 'only' a game. (Sound of gnashing teeth in the background.)
It won't accept 'presley'! LOL. Wonder what 'the king' would have to say about that? My other half's surname is in here too and his initials. He was a little peeved not to be 'valid'. LOL.
Oh, and if you can 'kart', why can't you be a 'karter'?
Or even several 'kart' persons.
what's this about an A9 hint?
a9/72: an adverb that means in a simple or uncluttered fashion
can I get some help with the p9/66x2, I keep going for pre for some reason on the little children clue.
There are too many As. Could you please give me the 2nd letter of the A9 so I have a chance of finding it? Thanks.
an earlier clue was the ------ of little feet
mtnjock - add an 's' to your pa8/50.
au
Minski - au9/72
LOL... that would be good if I had a pa8/50...
Jacula, it's just being stubborn :) MTNJock...think babies...P...... of tiny feet (rather than the weapons grade bawl)
Got the PA 6, 8, &9. Thanks.
Hallelujah! Twist and Shout! I finally got the bird one.
I've got a bit of a mystery here. I've gone through that 'p' list very carefully, twice, now. I only have 11 p's left to get but I find there are 12 words left on the posted list and that I have 2 more pa4/6's than on the posted list???
Jacula, thanks for the clues, you too Miniski, there hasn't been a complete P list posted yet
Anj - on 'being stubborn'. Are you Taurean by any chance?
got the AU 7&9. thanks.
now what about the other p9/66? Any help, I have to fnish at least one size of letter category when they are this big!
Hahaha, absolutely! The horns are a dead giveaway mind you ...
I'm missing almost all of the KAs. Time to buckle down and get to work.
so you have pa4 x 8??
Minski, think dojo, karate, practice..
I'm Taurean, too. I just knew YOU wre! LOL Anj.
nope, no pa4x8 either
Mtnjock, the other pa9/66 is a pattern of garden best appreciated from above. I'm sure the Fairy Googlemother will come up roses on that one ;)
Ah! Went from skrags's list, not from pfdeele's.:(
Uneaixoise, with the point spread, pa4x6 and pa4x7 are the highest you can get...
Who's the Fairy Googlemother?
right . . . i thought someone was saying there were more . . . aarrgghh!
That's us...passionate about everything. Food, love, art...bleedin' word puzzles lol
Yeah!!!! I can go home now... Thanks for your help (and the GoogleFairey as well). g'nite
Goodnight mtnjock. 'See' you tomorrow.
Yes indeed, Anj. What star sign is your partner, if you have one?
I'm solo at the mo...downside of the sign. Too fussy sometimes :/
Please - need clues for pa 7/36 pr 6/24 pr 5/14 Helllllllllllllllllllllllllp.
Think of your backside, bfdeele
Yup, I know Anj. Spent many years with a ram but am now very happy with a goat. Did try a centaur once, but that was too fiery.
Think of your backside, bfdeele FOR PR 5/14 ... sorry!
Hello. Does anyone have the breakdown by the first two letters? Brandyjack? Thanks. Only halfway there and having to stop soon. bleah
bfdeele - pa7/36 - one who irons might be said to be a pr*****. pr6/24 - someone who talks idly or to little purpose. pr6/24 - more than one person who does the above. pr5/14 - to talk idley or to no purpose.
thats it for me giving up at 397 see you later today lol

I have pr 6/24, but have no idea what it means, but here's a clue. If hotels had special prices determined by the first letter of your last name, this would be the one for Harry Potter.
bfdeele, I need the other two you want clues for, too.
Cancer & two Scorpios...I sure do pick'em! lol
Anj - Yea, my crab chap was lovely, childhood swwetheart and all that. The Scorpio I next got grabed by was far too possessive.
I'm so tired I can't even spell or type now! I really should go but I've only got 299 words and I swore to myself I wouldn't leave before 300. LOL.
munner - that word means 'prepared for auction or a loan of money'. It's an obsolete word. Can't say I've ever been so glad of learning Latin (apart from understanding gardening and medical terms) as I am now for these ruddy puzzle grids!
Thanks, Jacula. Playing Babble is a humbling experience for this former English teacher :(
I've used pr 4/6 to describe a bodypart ... but, then I'm a former fitness trainer ;-)
Munner - it's a humbling experience for one who was 'destined' to become an English teacher (but didn't as she had other fish to fry) and who has been a writer since childhood.
Munner - if you're still there (here?). I think the great thing about the English language is what a 'mongrel' it is; how it grows and changes. It's very easy to be pedantic about spellings and punctuation, but what a great language it is in that it embraces words from so many languages, and continues to do so.
I've got my 300 words I promised myself now (5230 points) and so I'm off to check out my forums. I'll be back in here for a quick look before zzzzzing.
Absolutely! I taught ESOL the last 7 years of my career. I always told my students that English was such a crazy language because so many rules don't fit.
An English Test We’ll begin with box, the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of mouse is never meese. You may find a lone mouse, or a whole nest of mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always men, Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be pen? The cow in the plural may be called cows or kine, But a bow if repeated is never called bine; And the plural of vow is vows, not vine. If I speak of a foot and you show me two feet, And I give you a boot would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teth, Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? If the singular’s this and the plural these, Should the plural of kiss ever be written keese? We speak of a brother, and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. The masculine pronouns are he, his and him, But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim! So the English, I think you will all agree, Is the funniest language you ever did see.

still haven't got the bird clue for p9 what was long john silver's bird called?
i think the person who gave the long john silver clue was referring to the type of bird, not the name :)
Captain Flint...think 'squawk!' but you want to downsize yer bird. The spelling is different...one more consonant, and one less vowel than you would expect...
thanks guys they shot my score up 409 for 7274 don't know if I do any more too tired
Oh blimey Anj, you still in here? Where in the world are you? (Geographically, I mean.) As for the clue, ferrari (not long to that wedding now!) - think parakeet but double your 'r's', put an 'o' where you think an 'a' should be and take out an 'e'.
409 words, Ferrari? I wouldn't have given you the clue if I'd known you were so far ahead! Bloomin' 'eck! xx
sorry jacula
Basket case in Bristol :'( I was hoping Brandyjack might post a breakdown to put me out of my misery but that's probabblebly expecting too much given the volume of words involved. What a challenge though :)
I haven't been playing that long.......is 2431 points any good?
how did you remember the wedding? youv'e reminded me I really must go to bed it's 3am xx
Normally that's a good score, but on today's grid it's just under 33%. This is the biggest word count i've seen
ferrari - I know who I've spoken to! LOL. Your daughter's wedding is very soon. You said you'd send me pics but we didn't work out how to exchange e-mail addresses privately. Anj - Bristol? Just down the road from me here in Worcestershire, 10 miles from Brum.
brum? sollihull?
...feels like Purgatory at the moment... And it's raining now lol
I have 310 words. Why am I not happy? sigh
Hello everybody - I've been babbling away here quietly for the last 4 hours! Have got to 342 words so far and starting to seriously flag!
is anyone else listening to NWA whilst doing this?
Whewee, morning all! 3.14am in London. I got home from work about 45 minutes ago (don't ask - it's not as interesting as you might imagine!) and thought I'd check in. Painful today huh? I started this yesterday before I went to work, and only have 206....
does any one have a clue for the er4/4 that's not a mistake
NWA? as in Straight outta Compton? Just iTunes burbling away in the background here. Queenadreena at the mo...
Ellocin, it means formerly, as in e...while :)
Anj - have you finished yet?
thank you Anj, I just got it
Ellocin. E4/4 at a previous time. It's practically in all the grids.
No Chris, i'm all worded out at 427. I feel i've tried everything but obvioulsy not lol.
427!! I think I'd be happy with that - almost! I've managed to scrape together a measly 345.
That's certainly not measly. Anything 300+ on this grid is resoectable. I'm just finding i've run out of combos...or at least my brain has hahaha.
I wish I still had a brain - it went to sleep about 2 hours ago!
Anj, don't know how you do it, I've been at this practically all day and I'm at 286 words. It does help to walk away for a bit, come back, and find some more.
Did that a couple of times Mary. I've had spare time on my hands today so I could indulge this. There's just too many R, S & Ts for me tho'. Hahaha, and i've got an owl outside now...
my list is too long to follow so I keep repeating words. ugh!
'Cos I'm the type 'o nigga that's built ta last, fuck with me, I'll put ma foot in yo ass...
Well, my cerebral cortex has just downed tools and demanded ibuprofen! 'Nite/Morning all. Have fun :)
Night Anj
I am only missing 1 A word. It's an AR 5/10. I have the one that's the plural of a British slang word. What's the other one?
First time to break 2000! BeddyBye! Good luck to all night owls!
bunlao - no, not Solihull.

formidable board. only have 84 words now, guess i should get to work.
Minski, the A5/10 = a wall hanging of heavy handwoven fabric with pictorial designs. I'm signing off now with 302 words. LOL to all
Straight outta compton, crazymothafucka name Ice Cube....
Thanx, Brandyjack, a little too late, I'm going to bed. But wish I could spend more time, it's a huge help
Brandyjack - I bow in humble thanks....
Does anyone else's clock say "NaN hours left before the puzzle closes"?
Sorry CSA, will try not to forget tomorrow. nasty headache today, might have to wait for morning before I can even post the regular stats.
That's it. I admit defeat at 359 / 5792. I am too tired to go on. Hopefully do better tomorrow?! Goodnight to all who are still battling on & good luck.
Okay, I'm missing an re7. I've got re7/28x5, re7/32x2, re7/36x2, and re7/44. What am I missing?
re7/36 x 3
any hints on the tr 8 please (tr 7 too if they go together)
yes, they go together--think about what kids say at the door on halloween
Do all three r6/36's start with the same three letters?
I have that one in 5 and 6, let me see how you get 7 and 8. hmm
yep
ahh was going the other direction with the t's. THANKS
Don't apologize, Brandyjack. I understand headaches all too well!
Sorry to be a bother, but can I get another hint on the r7/36? I have: do over, and tamp down.
do you have a device for catching vermine?
not you personally--it's a clue! :-)
smithchick.. doing in over
Just not getting it... Too dense, tonight.
smithchick.. if i ask you to say something again..i ask you to re**** it....and there is the plural as well
a device for catching unwanted mice-like creatures
Thanks, uneaixoise, but I've got the ra7, I think I'm missing an re7/36. I've also already got the one you're talking about, green eyes. Yikes!
it's a compound word
Brandyjack - just been off into my forums and come back here before signing off for the night/morning. It's a late one even for me. I saw you talking about a program that solves the puzzle? I can understand the stats thing, which we all appreciate to see what we are working towards. But, if it gives you all the answers, how could you possibly enjoy being on site? I do wish I could talk to you off site, but still have no way of knowing on here how to give e-mail addys privately. I mean you can't even post it and then delete!
smithchick... how about this.. ..........do to something over and over again.... .........you re**** it....that help?
oh, sorry!
i use someone elses program to solve the puzzle. It produces a list of words in lines of 10 on the screen. I cut and past this into notepad, save it to disk then sic my program(s) on it. They produce the lists. Believe it or not, I only see 1 or two words on the list. You wouldn't believe how bad my memory is. Tell me 1 thing, i can remember it. Tell me two, i might remember one. Tell me three, I won't even remember my name....
don't kill me but i don't know what i was thinking--i don't have a third r7/36--going blind with the huge puzzle i guess--so sorry
Jacula, now seems a good time for me to bring this up. There is so much chitchat on this log it makes it nearly impossible to find clues and hints etc. Is ANYone else up for creating a forum (a free one of course) where all the nattering can take place?
smithchick.. get it?..g
not a bad idea
Uneaixoise - it's repeaters!
As for wordfinders, I use them. Then I google the results to find out what the silly thing is. I am not in any contest to finish the puzzles. That's not the point. I mean, a greek girdle from Roman times? Give me a break. I am not going to know that ( I do know though). The whole point is the words. Finding them, by whatever means (except direct lookup of course). It's the pursuit that counts. Do you have any idea how many 8 letter words start with 'aa'? There are 99. How many 10 letters? 123.... Try picking out the one that fits........
already have that--
Darleen - it should be possible to chat elsewhere, I know, but I don't think the chit-chat in here produces too many problems (though having said that, I am on an ultra fast b/b connection). Anything lesser could be very slow and clunky.
DarleenMB. Good idea. With 1600 players, I'm surprised at the lack of chatter. Most of what is there is in fact from about 40 of us only. One advantage to this one though, it gets segregated and cleaned daily....
I have come to the conclusion that BrandyJack, Ang & myself are all from the same mould. Stubborn beggars all!
Donkey Hote is my hero..............
quitting at 390/6767--those of you plodding on have my greatest admiration!
433 words 5.36 7724 And I can't see anymore!
Yep, Hugabugs this one was a doozy!
My 2 cents is that I don't mind the chat at all, but that "hints" that all but spell out the word are a drag. If I ask for a hint, I don't mind getting a veiled clue, pun, or something that makes me think, but some of the hints lately have basically told you all but, say, the third letter, what it rhymes, with, what it means, etc. I prefer foraging to being spoon-fed. But then again, there are now a great number of people playing this game, and there are a great many different goals and ways of getting there. All-in-all, I guess I'd prefer to keep the chat on-site. I don't want to have to toggle between different sites just to play the puzzle.
Talking of chit-chat. How do you do yours? I click onto the site. I see the day's grid and pen it off onto a handy gride my other half made for me on paper. Then I sign in and look for BrandyJack's daily stats of word count and how many words for each letter.I then go away with a cup of tea and some biscuits to see what words I can find. Ater I've run out of ideas, I consult the dictionaries and thesauri on my bookshelves. Also, since the written babblegrid is on the table, it tends to attract people like a jigsaw in the making and so they all chip in. After that, I look for clues in the daily log, and also have fun reading it, and replying. In the course of that, I either romp home or not! The chat's as good to me as is getting the home total.
Hugabugs, you star! Can you point me in the direction of a couple of STs? I've got: st5/18 x 5 st5/27 x 2 St5/30 x 3 and st6/28 x 2 st6/44 x 2 ...missing one of each - any clues?
Doogle - I'm sorry if you hvae found some of my clues too easy. Amd, yes, I did just give a word away just before we posted to each other! But does it really matteron a puzzle this size or really at all in the whole scheme of life?
Anj - are you still climbing for that 433?
a agree, clues that are too easy are annoying. it's bad enough having the two letter list to work with. It's amazing how eay it is to find the huge words if you know the first two letters. It's also amazing how difficult it can be to find a 4 letter word when you know the first two. Like the Ae4/4 in tonights puzzle. I never saw it, just typed it.Then I had to find it. Even knowing it's there it's almost impossible to see.
Final points count for whomever it was who was asking earlier... 433 words 5.36 7724 (and it was hugabugs who gave it.)
Yes, still trying :) Obstinate...another of our traits hahaha
115 words done, 25 minutes to go. Maybe I can at least finish the A's.
Anj, I'm confused at what you're asking for
So, BrandyJack - you obviously feel I should not have done that 2-letter list on the Wednesday puzzle of 41 words? Even though it gave so many a lift to finish a grid for once?
I'm just missing 1 x st5 and 1 x st6 but I can't see them for looking. The list is what I have. I was hoping you could tell me what's missing - like a st5/18 or something similar.
I have st5/10x6 st5/14x2 st5/18x3
Anj - my other main controlling sign is a water sign - the water carrier. It means I can walk away without competing. But I wish you all the best in your quest to get all of the words.xx
I have st6/18x6 st6/27x2 st6/30x3
Sorry - see what you mean now. It's late and my mind is stuffed :( Should have read: st6/18 x 5 st6/27 x 2 St6/30 x 3 and st7/28 x 2 st7/44 x 2
17 minutes to go!
16 mins...
15 mins (blimey this clock goees fast!)
14 mins.
you need another st7/28
Is this clock correct??
13 mins. Who's going to be the winner?
12 mins..
The suspense is killing me!
11 mins.
Never said that. Or implied it. I posted mine some time after you posted yours. I was just late doing it is all. I ad solved all 41 quite sometime earlier and I sort of make it a policy not to post the breakdown before 18:00. Some get upset by it's presence. Some get downright ugly about it. So I compromise. What Doogle was talking about and that I agree with are the clues like mov4/6. Only need the last letter on that one. Wih the first two letters, can still be difficult to find them Especially since many of the smaller ones are foreign langages. Like the aa4/4 'aals' in tonight puzzle. I cannot even find a definition for it. The 9 letter types follow rules and tend to be 100% english words.
Are you still there BrandyJack?
10 mins.
yep. just finished the A's. working the E's now......
9 mins. BrandyJack send me your e-mail addy., please.
8 mins.

brandyjack at cogeco.ca You know the proper format. Am I too paranoid? Heh!
No use - can't see them anywhere :'( Thanks for the help Hugabugs.
1 min. Yes, BJ, you are. I can't get it from that.
sorry Anj.... there's so many words to look at/for
um, replace the 'at' with @ and no spaces..... i prefer to avoid address harvester bots.
No worries :)
o mins. Next puzzle. AAArgh! Hoipe it won't be such a pig as the last one.
rookie question: What does this mean? st6/27x2 word starting with st, 6 letters, 27 points (what's the x2?)
