Great to have stats already, thanks Krys10.

There is this P4/6 that pops up in a grid often, meaning "swift Malayan sailboat". I mistyped and found an anagram without def, also starting P.

Thanks for the T, was obvious yet I missed it. Working on S words now, hopefully I can help you in a few mins.

runningforhome

Sprite, thanks for the birthday greetings! It's not 'til tomorrow, so you're not late at all. :)

12:54 pm

sprite

:-)
Great day then to you, tomorrow, runningforhome!

12:55 pm

sprite

@ taglos: that would be great! I need only 2 more words and I can not find them...

1:07 pm

Taglos

Sprite I have SE6 x 3 (24, 24, 30)

1:09 pm

sprite

Thanks. Mine is a 24, right after a 4/4. Are the other 2 obvious words?

1:16 pm

sprite

*roflol* Babble IS using babbler's names! Found one of the missing Se6s. Looks strange, but when I looked up the def it said first and last part can be switched and THAT word I know. :)

1:18 pm

Taglos

Hehe you must have found the unit of measure in space :) The other word I got lucky on, it shares the same third letter as the one you found. Means to discern as separate; discriminate.

1:21 pm

sprite

Yes! Thanks a lot, Taglos, found it right away with your clue. Guess that's it then:
235 words / 4.77 / 3129 points

1:23 pm

Taglos

Grats! Happy to help :) Nice to be able to provide help for a change :)

3:34 pm

periwinkle

thanks metags, got one of them (state of being), still looking for the other.

3:35 pm

periwinkle

May I please have a clue for the H/8.

3:42 pm

metags

the H8 is a superlative of a H4 meaning gray or white with age

3:44 pm

periwinkle

thanks, again, metags, found it. already had the H4. Had not thought to make it superlative.

3:45 pm
