1:07 am

gremlinn

there was a ma7, right Gillie?

1:08 am

gremlinn

I shall start a manhunt for it

1:16 am

gremlinn

fw, no list

1:17 am

gremlinn

I only took 35 times as long as Gillie to find that word :)

1:20 am

m9f9l

Hello all!

1:21 am

gremlinn

hey m9

1:21 am

m9f9l

Wtg Gremlinn!

1:22 am

m9f9l

I'm just starting

1:22 am

gremlinn

ty, need any clues?

1:22 am

gremlinn

ah

1:23 am

m9f9l

Is it a tough one??

1:24 am

gremlinn

a little bit

1:25 am

gremlinn

as you can see plenty of short words, but many weird ones

1:26 am

m9f9l

Yeah.. I've only looked at top row and already feeling inadequate!

1:28 am

gremlinn

Yeah, the L was a challenge

1:28 am

m9f9l

I'm none too happy about the E either

1:28 am

gremlinn

try to use the M and N with it a lot

1:29 am

m9f9l

Ok.. That did get me one! :)

1:33 am

m9f9l

Ah, the E not bugging me as much since I thought of rulers

1:47 am

m9f9l

Whoo hoo got the 9!!

1:47 am

gremlinn

nice!

1:54 am

m9f9l

Almost 1/2 way on all tiles...

1:55 am

m9f9l

Just the R and the O below it not there yet

1:57 am

gremlinn

14 of the 25 Rs are four letters, but there are a bunch of long ones (three 8s) too

1:58 am

m9f9l

one more and I'll be 1/2 way on the R. Just got the cad

1:58 am

gremlinn

a few uncommon or twisty ones on the O

1:58 am

m9f9l

got another

1:59 am

m9f9l

hmmm

1:59 am

m9f9l

got an O

1:59 am

m9f9l

So that's HWOAT

2:00 am

m9f9l

There's no way I can do this without listing!! You are a beast!

2:02 am

m9f9l

Are the ro8s variations?

2:02 am

gremlinn

two are compounds (singular and plural pair) and one's an uncommon word

2:03 am

gremlinn

actually even the compounds are uncommon, but they're guessable

2:04 am

m9f9l

Ah..got them! I had the uncommon one

2:05 am

gremlinn

cool - the uncommon one is worth remembering (maybe) because of how it uses common letters

2:06 am

gremlinn

which makes it more common in Babble if less common in everyday writing

2:07 am

m9f9l

There are definitely words I know because of Babble!

2:07 am

gremlinn

like inia and et4, the very basics!

2:09 am

m9f9l

and the goose

2:10 am

m9f9l

A word in this grid reminded me of a joke my eldest daughter made up a few days ago...about the magician that could control sea birds with his mind.

2:11 am

m9f9l

He has pelekinesis.

2:12 am

gremlinn

pretty good!

2:12 am

m9f9l

I told her that her jokes have taken a te4 for the worse! :)

2:12 am

m9f9l

or te5 ;)

2:13 am

gremlinn

I sea what you did there!

2:14 am

m9f9l

oh buoy! We shouldn't go too far...

2:15 am

gremlinn

Is there a sail on puns tonight?

2:16 am

gremlinn

I'd do two in a row but that'd be shellfish.

2:16 am

m9f9l

We'll probably ruru starting this wave of them

2:18 am

m9f9l

Bingo! First column

2:22 am

m9f9l

does that high point get used other that words it starts?

2:23 am

gremlinn

the Z? no

2:26 am

m9f9l

Ugh. To still have 29 4s to go and to feel stuck.

2:29 am

m9f9l

I should probably focus on 4s. Don't know why I didn't already think of that! :)

2:46 am

m9f9l

32 left. 5s 6s and 7s

3:11 am

m9f9l
