hydra

Why isn't rehome allowed? That's what animal shelters are for!

9:47 am

hokie carla

yeah, we've had that issue before. maybe too new to be on this word list.

9:47 am

hokie carla

also enable just picks and chooses re- words with no rhyme or reason

10:08 am

10:26 am

hokie carla

still have 10 left here. 3-3-2-1-0-1

10:27 am

ch1212

what do the hyphenated numbers indicate, hokie?

10:27 am

hokie carla

GG L RR MMM H R
I think Nef has the right idea. I will come back and see if they appear.

10:28 am

hokie carla

they are the word lengths I have left. 3 four letters, 3 five letters, 2 sixes, etc. and so on

10:28 am

ch1212

Oh, that makes sense. Thanks. I've seen people post similar ones in the past, but didn't know what they were.

10:30 am

MollyL

The simple folks just post "I have 24 left"😊

10:31 am

hokie carla

some of us like stats. word nerds can be math nerds too! not that I'm really a word nerd here but probably amongst people I know in real life.

10:32 am

hokie carla

I know the 9 is RH but I have no idea what that could be

10:32 am

ch1212

Different methods have been used since I joined in 2005. :)

10:37 am

welki

hokey, think duran duran - a homonym of she who dances on the sand

10:38 am

cherlyq

Found the 9

10:38 am

hokie carla

thanks, welki. never seen that before. seems like no one else had any issue.

10:38 am

hokie carla

and now that song is stuck in my head

10:39 am

welki

:D

10:42 am

MollyL

I must be thinking of a different Duran Duran song. The she who dances in the sand is only three letters in the one I am thinking of.

10:42 am

hokie carla

yeah, that confused me so I had to look for another word to add to that. you have the right song.

10:43 am

MollyL

Oh, so the clue was just about the first part of the word.

10:45 am

ch1212

If you combine the homonym of Duran Duran's song with a word in the Beatles' lovely Rita song, you'll have it. ;)

10:45 am

MollyL

Oh, good one Ch

10:54 am

Sophie512

thanks for the clues, but I had to look up the lyrics to get them.....at least since I don't know them, they won't be stuck in my head all day :)

10:56 am

ch1212

Happy babbling all *poof*

moolingwa

merhoe - what merfolk use to garden

12:46 pm

moolingwa

it's by itself

12:47 pm

hokie carla

I'm just not doing as well on this grid as others. why can't I see the words?

12:48 pm

moolingwa

there's some odd ones...but if it helps the g7 does build off the one before it, just not obviously related, although I guess you could extrapolate it from the def

12:48 pm

moolingwa

the other g you might be missing is an adjectiv

12:49 pm

hokie carla

I have a gl5 which one of my friends in college always called the saliva that squirts out from under your tongue randomly

12:49 pm

moolingwa

moohen - a hybrid meat animal that scientists from chik-fil-a concocted

12:49 pm

hokie carla

but that is not the official def

12:49 pm

moolingwa

yeah, that's a noun :)

12:49 pm
