5:31 am

hydra

That drives me mad too, Deeha. I suppose the dictionary is American and their squirrels live somewhere else!

5:37 am

MollyL

Enable includes many words that are not "American". However, the only words that are accepted in this game are words "recognized by the Enable Word List". If the Enable folks didn't like it, it doesn't count in Babble.

5:43 am

mattygroves

Speaking of which, is the di9 a reasonably common word?

5:44 am

MollyL

Not to me

5:44 am

7:48 am

MollyL

qu8 starts like an interrogatory word ends with what you do on a bike with a DIFFERENT VOWEL at the end, and plural

7:49 am

MollyL

It's what you do on a horse too, or what someone "gives you" when they take you in the car

7:49 am

lil*monkey

If anyone knows Spanish, it is the word for "dear" or "sweetie"

8:13 am

MollyL

I'm kind of liking the word misfart and what the definition might be. : D
