12:26 am
Rainiqui

so 7
12:28 am
MonkeySee

I'm new here. Question for Rainiqui: What does nbt and nbs mean?
12:29 am
mkg

No blank tiles and no blank stats. It means you have one for each.
12:30 am
MonkeySee

Thank you mkg. Also, question for gremlinn: What does found it, and done mean? Are you showing off? If not, can you please tell me what your statement means?
12:30 am
mkg

Found it means she has found the word she was asking about. Done means she finished the grid. And usually the person then leaves.
12:31 am
mkg

Not showing off. Many who does this daily become very good. I have 49 so far. Half way done. But my goal is half way and nbt and nbs. So still a way to go.
12:33 am
Rainiqui

Thanks MKG ~ You obviously can type waaaay faster than I can LOL !
12:33 am
mkg

But i make errors. Should say many who DO this daily…not does. Anyway i do type fast. Not on a phone though.
12:34 am
mkg

Missing the sevens and bottom row A words. Darn.
12:34 am
MonkeySee

Thanks for the info. In that case, I'm hopeless. I won't ever come close to finding a quarter of the words, much less all of them.
12:35 am
MonkeySee

mkg: I don't think this is the place where the grammar pollice venture, so I think you're safe here. In any event, I'll never tell...
12:35 am

12:52 am
MonkeySee

Thanks for the ride, everyone. It's been fun and interesting. I think I'll stick to what I'm excellent at ~ word and number games on my phone while I'm in bed trying to fall asleep. I have a painful nerve disease which makes it difficult to near impossible to sit at my computer for very long. It's only when I stand up that I realize I've been sitting for far too long. I may come back from time to time as my body permits. So until then, enjoy yourselves, and remember ~ it's just a game.
12:57 am
anike

You can also play this game on your phone. We all need time to gain confidence and skill in the game.

11:36 am
hokie carla

well, I played tennis and then showered, but I'm back. was going to drive up to mom's but waze is showing 20 min longer than usual, so I'll just go tomorrow.
11:39 am
hokie carla

not sure what part of asheville your sister is in, but the road construction on I-26 between me & asheville is the worst.
11:41 am
MollyL

She's not in Asheville, near there
11:42 am
MollyL

And we are all grateful that you showered after tennis 😊
11:42 am
hokie carla

I'm sure you have an idea how sweaty it was
11:44 am
hokie carla

gotta figure out lunch but having trouble getting off the couch now
11:48 am
MollyL

It's gross and sticky here
11:50 am
hokie carla

it wasn't even that hot, just super sticky
11:50 am
hokie carla

I think like 90% humidity
11:52 am
hokie carla

currently feels like 92F
11:55 am
MollyL

I'm dreading the obscene electric bill next month
11:56 am
hokie carla

I don't think ours will be too bad. this house feels way colder than our last and it's wayyyy smaller, so we can comfortably keep it on 74ish during the day.
12:08 pm
hokie carla

okay, no HOET yet. 24 left.
12:32 pm
hokie carla

well, can't find either of the 7s

1:22 pm
BzznBea

1:42 pm
BzznBea

I still have 22 left but I never did try to find the 4s.
1:48 pm
BzznBea

1:48 pm
hokie carla

BzznBea

2:37 pm
hokie carla

thanks, and yes, I do not have am7
2:38 pm
MollyL

Spanish sherry. Ru probably got it right away
2:39 pm
hokie carla

that helped, thanks
2:39 pm
hokie carla

not the sherry part, the spanish part
2:40 pm
MollyL

The 7's are weird
2:42 pm
MollyL

But of course they were found at the flip in seconds
2:43 pm
Rainiqui

Yer killin me Molly, lol
2:46 pm
hokie carla

what gets me about the flip, rain, is not only people finding them in seconds, but posting about it too. gillie is good at being that fast. I'm still looking for words and y'all have already posted 10 you found.
2:47 pm
hokie carla

that's why I just play my own game, don't bother looking for the big ones when they're called
2:51 pm
Rainiqui

I'm not the one who posts all the clues. I am very good with nbt, nbs but after that it's all downhill. HOET is out of the question for me. After 60 words or so, my hands are going into spasms. I extremely rarely post "fireworks".
2:53 pm
Rainiqui

I agree with you about the big ones. Everyone should have a decent chance to post and have their moment of glory, so to speak.
2:54 pm
mkg

Hi all. I am also slower. And often i dont get the large words from just the stats. But i ignore the grid when this happens. I still like to get nbt and nbs but need one large word for each stat and often cant get that. Now i have no sevens. The am is alluding me.
2:54 pm
hokie carla

oh, it doesn't bother me, I just can't fathom how anyone sees them that fast. and the first 2 letters very rarely tips me off, I just have to stumble onto them on my own, so I usually just ignore the posts.
2:54 pm
mkg

I dont even get the am clue below.
2:55 pm
mkg

I need help for the 7s so clues welcome.
2:56 pm
hokie carla

am + either/** + a vowel + half of mediocre
2:56 pm
mkg

half of mediocre? Wow. Looking
2:57 pm
mkg

Got it. Ty carla. Whew. Ty.
2:57 pm
mkg

One more clue needed and that is for one of the A words bottom row. Ty
2:58 pm
MollyL

I don't post fireworks either. I don't play this game competitively.
2:59 pm
hokie carla

sometimes I do, sometimes I don't
2:59 pm
hokie carla

I have ab4
3:00 pm
mkg

Molly i didnt realize that was competitive. I thought we celebrated others success with fireworks. Shows how competitive i am…………hmmmmm
3:01 pm
hokie carla

yeah, by the time I post FW, I'm basically competing with no one, and I just give hurrahs to others when they do
3:02 pm
mkg

Ty carla. I just got ab 4 and now have nbt and nbs. Wow. Ty. My daily goal of half way is also reached and so i will bow out graciously. Just for the record i am not competing when you compete you dont give clues do you? I mean why help someone you are competing with? So i feel we are not competing but all helping each other. So much for my non competing soul……….i dont know that i have it in me to compete.
3:02 pm
granadan

mkg half way is my daily goal too.
3:02 pm
mkg

Well i hope you all have a great day and stay safe and healthy.

sorry!

Granadan, good to know. May we both reach it. When there are large grids, and many words sometimes i dont make it
3:03 pm
mkg

Ty granadan.
3:03 pm
hokie carla

I am competitive in a lot of things but not here
3:03 pm
hokie carla

bye, mkg

Turns out Squardle has bonus puzzles. Today they added a 499-word one called "Got Salt", and I don't think it needs to be completed in a day (although I could be wrong).

I read that in a pop-up but didn't look further. maybe later.

Just a question: what is the amount of time one should wait after the flip before "calling" words? And how hard should one have to find the grid before making any comments about finishing?
4:16 pm
gremlinn

That's for chat moderators Molly and Rainiqui.
4:21 pm
Rainiqui

I am sure that you are a very nice person and I've seen how you'll assist any babbler who asks for help. That's very kind of you.
However, a good number of us like to give it a crack on our own without having to resort to turning off the chat which would preclude our ability to banter with, maybe tease and have convos with our fellow flippers. We fully expect babblers to post clues at the flip. What we don't expect to see is babblers listing almost all the longest length words in the first 15 minutes or less. A little restraint would go a long way toward allowing others to have their moment in the sun.
On behalf of myself and those who agree with me, I thank you for your consideration regarding this.
PS - Just for the hell of it, I tried saying fellow flippers really quickly 10 times. After 4 successes, it turned into federal fibbers.
4:25 pm
gremlinn

Fine, I'll stop making "calls" and saying "fireworks" and only do clues when asked for (morning and onwards).
4:38 pm
hokie carla

don't take it personally, everyone does it at the flip, you're just better than most. no offense to the other flippers. they're just now seeing what it's like for the rest of us normal folks when they do it.

5:23 pm
hokie carla

I am sorry to hear that. FWIW, I consider you one of the really good, fast players. I really am not trying to stir trouble or offend, just saying, that's how the rest of us feel when you super word nerds see them super fast. it doesn't bother me, I just don't look or turn it off if there's too much flying around before I'm ready.
5:24 pm
hokie carla

What I'm trying to say, probably poorly, is I don't think gremlinn is doing anything that others don't do daily, she's just doing it faster, so why is she being yelled at?
5:24 pm

I'm a he, but no worries. :)

To be fair, I'd prefer being yelled at to vague insinuations. The latter are harder to counter without looking bad in turn.
5:43 pm
gremlinn

Example: "gremlinn, stop posting so much right off the flip!" vs. "Hmmm, I wonder why so many Babblers have been silent recently...."
5:44 pm
gremlinn

Just be direct and avoid the confusion.
5:44 pm

comments like that sound like sour grapes to me
5:44 pm

good point. it's also hard to read intent, so if someone is flat out yelling at you it's a little clearer.
5:45 pm

I would much rather have contacted you via email.

I'd never find those long words if it weren't for the calls, so thank you.

5:46 pm

fine with me
5:47 pm

maybe you flippers should just agree and post something like "please wait 30 min before posting anything" etc, then there's no question
5:48 pm
hokie carla

meanwhile if I'm awake and playing I'll just keep working on my HOET
5:48 pm

Posting anything relevant to the words in the board, you mean. Not total silence.
5:49 pm

correct

6:02 pm
hokie carla

I hate to sound like a broken record but what I've been saying is gremlinn isn't doing anything anyone else doesn't do, he's just doing it faster. so either have a time minimum for callouts or don't. but telling one person they should refrain but everyone else can post them is not right. And yes, I know, no one actually said that, but that's what it would turn into.

I just haven't found how to access that.
7:54 pm
gremlinn

Never mind, found it.
7:55 pm
gremlinn

Right away I see an unlikely-to-appear long word, so I'm pretty sure they place certain words by intent and then fill in gaps randomly afterward.
7:58 pm
hokie carla

yeah, they are not randomly generated
7:59 pm
gremlinn

I like it that way
7:59 pm
gremlinn

I mean, not entirely random
8:02 pm

wee, 11 letter bonus word
8:03 pm
hokie carla

well the list there isn't helping me much at this point
8:04 pm
gremlinn

How come there's no numbers in the tiles like for the one I played yesterday? Because it's a special?
8:05 pm
hokie carla

you have to get to the star or the globe in the progress bar
8:06 pm
hokie carla

I think it's the star for the red (words remaining that start with that tile) and the globe for the gray (times the tile is used left)
8:06 pm
hokie carla

it won't take you long to get there
8:07 pm

it's a bonus
