Well, you know Babble. If it doesn't have enough words to suit them, they just make up the rest.

these *($*($* mice gnaw through the screens on my basement windows
8:44 am
HarryHood
I finally got some aluminum screening instead of the fiberglass. I'm going to try to replace it and see if it helps
8:44 am
mkg
Amazing that they can gnaw through metal. I have same issue.
8:44 am
mael

8:53 am
rururocks
I bet you did
8:54 am
MollyL
It is helpful to read over the chat before you ask for clues.
8:56 am
Sunrise
rururocks . Sorry if you felt I had erred .. However, I was leaving temporarily and I wanted to send it quickly.
8:56 am
rururocks
it's ok sunrise.. it happens a lot.. I feel it's better to take a minute and clue it so you don't give it away.
8:57 am
Sunrise
I do try to normally..
8:58 am
rururocks
ok.. we'll let you off easy this time :D
9:15 am
MollyL
"Quickly" isn't really a factor here. There are plenty of people to clue and clues in the chat. That 8 was clued first thing this morning.
9:15 am
rururocks
well.. she was leaving molly so had to clue quickly
9:18 am
MollyL
No, what I meant is it isn't necessary to quickly clue before you leave because there are others who can help.
9:19 am
phaeton
may I have a clue for the tu6/24?
9:20 am
phaeton
slowly so you don't give it away?
9:21 am
phaeton
the second one?
9:23 am
MollyL
A tan silk from India 😊
9:23 am
phaeton
now no one wants to clue because they are afraid of not doing it according to mollyru rules. sheesh
9:23 am
mael
super helpful, Molly. lol
9:24 am
mael
I don't have it phae, looking now
9:24 am
MollyL
It is not an easy word to clue
9:25 am
mael
I'm teasing, we'll find it
9:25 am
MollyL
tu...double consonant...word that means so-so
9:26 am
mael
thanks! got it :)
9:26 am
mael
now apparently there's a first tu6/24? I'll look for that
9:27 am
MollyL
No rules about cluing. It used to be that you didn't give any more than the first two letters (like Lickety) in your clues. Giving 4 letters of an 8 letter word is just about spelling the word out instead of cluing.
9:28 am
phaeton
who set up the rules?
9:28 am
origami
R*me*b*r the days when people used to clue like this? :D
9:28 am
phaeton
or decided what you could do or don't do?
9:29 am
MollyL
No one, it was a mutually agreed upon thing. Like no cluing the first our of the flip. Neither one applies anymore as there is no mutual agreement anymore.
9:29 am
sukee
TU 6/24 is a moth
9:30 am
MollyL
Yes Origami, or s, chair letter, roundy letter, consonant
9:30 am
MollyL
I got my definition from the dictionary here.

morning, bea
9:36 am
rururocks
that's a bit rude Phaeton.. and you are misunderstanding my post to Sunrise.. maybe reread the interaction
9:37 am
rururocks
A lot of players turn off the chat due to excessive cluing here.. sometimes it is a bit much for a lot of players. People don't normally complain, they just lurk and close off the chat. I was just pointing out that giving away that much of the word is a bit much. I learned how to clue from Haz and try to do it in a way that doesn't give things away.
9:38 am
rururocks
and a lot of players clue that way.. so it's water under the bridge as far as I am concerned. People can do what they want here ...
9:38 am
bichon
Haven't seen Haz for a while
9:38 am
saanichcat
hmmm. I have been playing off and on for 17 years now and these unwritten rules of early cluing or over-cluing have been traditional. I am one of those who almost always hides the chat.
9:39 am
mael
yeah, I think there's a certain skill to being clever with clues and not just spelling it out. I don't mind helping out more if players are stuck, but that's never my first approach
9:39 am
saanichcat
agreed mael.
9:39 am
origami
I appreciate clues that make me think
9:40 am
BzznBea
or clues that you say, oh, i get it, when you finally get it,
9:41 am
origami
I seldom clue because I am not good at walking the line between giving enough and giving too much
9:44 am
mael
I finally found a 7 today, geez
9:51 am
mael
ohhh and the 8. Nice, now I feel like I'm getting somewhere :)
9:57 am
cherlyq
ok what did I spell wrong why is wetsuit not found in dictionary/
9:57 am
mael

9:58 am
cherlyq
I was so sure it would be there
10:01 am
BzznBea
its two words, i think
10:05 am
mael
it's one (or can be one), but it was invented in the 50s so maybe enable just wasn't hip to it yet ;)
10:06 am
cherlyq
I did not come along till the sixties (early 60s ) so maybe
10:09 am
MollyL
Sprite used to always turn off the chat when it was a clue bonanza. And didn't mind posting that excessive cluing bothered her. Some people like to try and find words on their own. That is why it's good that you can hide the chat.
10:18 am
BzznBea
congrats, mael!
10:24 am
mael
thanks bea, I'm off to look for some leftovers for lunch :)
