periwinkle
good morning all. hel with Middlle i please
7:04 am
MollyL
I predict the third row E will be the most asked for word of the day. I have no clue how people just "find" words like that. I had to look it up.
7:24 am
Sugrraleona
I got it by accident - I was getting frustrated and just monkeyed and slammed my keyboard and whallah, there it was LOL LOL
7:28 am
HarryHood
crikies!
7:30 am
MollyL
No intelligence is needed for this game. Just endless random typing. 🐵
7:31 am
HarryHood
kitchy.
7:31 am
MollyL
Harry is all about misspelled words today
7:32 am
HarryHood
all the words from tv. colonel from MASH used to use ki7 all the time
7:34 am
MollyL
I still do😊
7:35 am
HarryHood
halfway through first pass. bbl

8:51 am
Sugrraleona

8:52 am
Sugrraleona

8:54 am
MollyL
Pe8 ends in one of the golden things over McDonald's

Sugrraleona
aah, ty
8:55 am
periwinkle
I monkeyed it. add sometimes vowel for pe9
8:55 am
MollyL
Well I guess you didn't need a clue then
8:55 am
periwinkle
I was tryiing to clue it
8:55 am
Sugrraleona
I did Molly, I did ty
8:56 am
periwinkle
missing 4 of the 8 letter words
8:56 am
periwinkle
and lots of others
8:56 am
periwinkle
but I have found over 200 words so far
8:56 am
MollyL
You were cluing it? I thought you asked for it
8:57 am
periwinkle
I did ask for it, found it and was trying to clue it
8:57 am
periwinkle
stuck with 116 left
9:00 am
MollyL
fo8 is stupid
9:01 am
MollyL
All the definitions take you to fo4/11y not fo8
9:10 am
moolingwa
morning all
9:11 am
hurshy
trouble right off the bat with the L
9:12 am
moolingwa
hey hursh
9:17 am
moolingwa
big board for a friday
9:17 am
hokie carla
howdy folks
9:18 am
hokie carla
I started on the columns today, so haven't looked at the L yet
9:18 am
moolingwa
hey hoke
9:19 am
moolingwa
yeah, I do columns first...not sure why
9:19 am
hokie carla
moooo
9:19 am
hokie carla
I go back and forth
9:19 am
moolingwa
maybe I should try that
9:19 am
hokie carla
as in I'll do columns for a few days and then I'll do rows for a few days
9:20 am
moolingwa
yeah, I should try mixing it up :)
9:20 am
hokie carla
still need 7 r's, though, so not going very well this direction either
9:21 am
moolingwa
yeah, still need 6 Rs on that first column
9:21 am
moolingwa
I decided to just go for 50% today
9:21 am
MollyL
The lo7 and 8 are weird
9:22 am
hokie carla
I'm sure hurshy will find them immediately now (not sarcasm)🤣
9:23 am
MollyL
And then say "duh"
9:25 am
hokie carla
ugh, why so many p's? why are p's always so hard?
9:25 am
MollyL
I am sick of overloaded P tiles
9:26 am
hokie carla
me too. you'd think we knew all the p words now.
9:26 am
rururocks
most p's are supposed to be hard hokie (you set me up for that one)
9:26 am
hokie carla
I did have that p already
9:26 am
MollyL
Especially that pe5
9:27 am
moolingwa
if it's hard to p, shouldn't you see a doctor?
9:27 am
Dorens
oh lord, what have I stepped into?
9:27 am
hokie carla
still need 12 p's, but moving on
9:27 am
rururocks
good question mool
9:28 am
hokie carla
are you okay, dorens?
9:28 am
MollyL
Here we go
9:28 am
hokie carla
y'all, you have broken dorens with your p talk
9:28 am
MollyL
Well just don't break anyone's p
9:28 am
moolingwa
p'ed her off?
9:29 am
Dorens
oh sorry. sitting outside on q shady balcony at the shore. not seeing the screen so well. apologies, all
9:29 am
Dorens
not p'd off at all
9:29 am
MollyL
Oh gee, sorry life is so tough these days
9:29 am
moolingwa
100 to go
9:29 am
hokie carla
ugh, 46 c's
9:30 am
hokie carla
221 left here
9:30 am
MollyL
C and P, it's a dead heat for most tedious letter
9:30 am
hokie carla
agreed
9:30 am
Dorens
it helps to have good friends, Molly. so far I've had two trips to maine, one to Martha's Vineyard and now the Jersey shore- all to friends' and families. I'm not complaining
9:30 am
rururocks
jealous molly?
9:31 am
MollyL
Jealous of what?
9:31 am
rururocks
of being near the ocean?
9:32 am
rururocks
oh ok.. i misunderstood your comment then
9:32 am
MollyL
Sounds like Dorens has a lot of generous friends
9:32 am
rururocks
it's because she's such a nice person
9:33 am
hokie carla
well, turns out I'm better at the P than the C
9:33 am
Dorens
I am indeed very fortunate. I thought my son was nuts when he bought this tiny house on a cove up in Deer Isle Maine but I certainly enjoy it. (Just not the 8 -9 hour drive to get there)
9:33 am
MollyL
It is not like you to misunderstand sarcasm Ru. Do we need to send you to the sensitive room? 😋
9:33 am
hokie carla
carpentise - to make something out of wood
9:34 am
rururocks
I can't go to the sensitive room, everyone in there hates me
9:35 am
moolingwa
that's very insensitive of them
9:36 am
MollyL
Oh well then don't go. They might throw their pink satin pillows at you.
9:37 am
hokie carla
antirofl - against humor
9:38 am
moolingwa
I wonder if they just object to the rolling on the floor part, maybe they're lmao tolerant
9:38 am
saanichcat
who' is in that room anyway?
9:38 am
hokie carla
maybe
9:38 am
moolingwa
it's a fair question saani
9:39 am
hokie carla
not me, I don't care what y'all say
9:39 am
saanichcat
someone is throwing pink satin pillows!
9:39 am
hurshy
i think the Cs are worse than the Ps
9:39 am
saanichcat
I think the room is empty
9:39 am
hokie carla
so not just me, hurshy
9:39 am
BzznBea
it's not me. i just got here.
9:40 am
hurshy
also i haven't gotten the lo7/8
9:40 am
moolingwa
well it's empty and full...it'll only be determined once we observer it
9:40 am
saanichcat
agreed, mool
9:40 am
hokie carla
not a fan of this 2nd col E either
9:41 am
moolingwa
the second column e boosters are going to be very disappointed hoke
9:41 am
MollyL
If it's empty and full maybe Shrodinger's cat is in there.
9:41 am
hokie carla
hmm, will have to think about that subtle hint for a while
9:46 am
hurshy
did you guys see the thing about how the OceanGate former accountant had quit after the lead submersible pilot quit and the CEO dude asked her to become the pilot when she had like no background in that
9:46 am
hokie carla
no, so she was the pilot? or not?
9:47 am
hurshy
no, she refused and quit even being the accountant
9:47 am
moolingwa
I haven't really paid attention to it to be honest, but on the surface, that sounds pretty sus
9:47 am
hurshy
and there was something else about some of the engineers being teenagers
9:48 am
hokie carla
well, I know they used some kind of gaming keyboard, but you don't have to be a teenager for that
9:48 am
hurshy
and being paid $15/hr
9:49 am
hurshy
not really how one expects serious engineering to be done
9:49 am
hokie carla
don't have the big L set but wondering what the 3rd one I'm missing is so I can move on.
9:50 am
BzznBea
a 6, carla
9:50 am
BzznBea
the set is a trio
9:50 am
hurshy
can we have a clue?
9:50 am
hokie carla
oh, thanks bea. I might just move on.
9:51 am
hokie carla
or wait for the clue :D
9:51 am
moolingwa
not when you're paying millions to go on the vessel
9:51 am
hokie carla
yeah, that whole story is just crazy
9:51 am
BzznBea
lo + white grain with a different end vowel
9:52 am
hokie carla
thanks, bea
9:52 am
BzznBea
for the 6 obv
9:52 am
hokie carla
got the 6 and 7, still looking for the 8
9:52 am
hurshy
woot woot, ty bea!
9:52 am
moolingwa
sounds like a verb hoke
9:55 am
hurshy
how about the upper right E?
9:55 am
hokie carla
looked it up, but thanks
9:55 am
hokie carla
hey top row gray :D
9:56 am
ChampFit
Honestly, when I got that O it made me so happy! ;)
9:56 am
hurshy
big Free Willy fan?
9:57 am
ChampFit
Is that to me? No.
9:58 am
hokie carla
just happy because it was an easy word?
9:58 am
moolingwa
oh yeah, I have a grey top too
9:58 am
ChampFit
Just happy because a row is gray.
9:58 am
hurshy
so yeah anyone have that upper right E? and what is the 9, please? :)
9:58 am
ChampFit
Stats for that top right E please?
9:58 am
moolingwa
no and no :)
9:59 am
hurshy
jinx, champ!
9:59 am
hokie carla
still on 3rd col
9:59 am
hokie carla
oh geez
9:59 am
moolingwa
oh good, an easy one
10:00 am
hurshy
well that's the sort of thing that should be easy to get via morewords then
10:00 am
hokie carla
just found a lower E that I recall dorens entering in the chat. not sure why I didn't type it in then.
10:00 am
hurshy
lol, it is the LESS weird of the two ek7s that morewords returns
10:00 am
ChampFit
Oh for goodness sake!!! Guess I'll give it a whirl for a bit....
10:01 am
hokie carla
well, the other one is foreign money, so I'm sure it'll show up in here eventually
10:02 am
hokie carla
I hope you memorized both
10:03 am
hurshy
checked the flip, the 9 is pe
10:04 am
hokie carla
I need to go look for some more pe5s
10:04 am
hokie carla
like IRL, not in the grid
10:05 am
moolingwa
might want to be careful saying that hoke
10:05 am
hurshy
rule by 5
10:06 am
moolingwa
I mean perhaps that's what she does mean, but maybe wants to keep that to herself
10:06 am
hokie carla
pe5/16, not pe5/12. get your minds out of the gutter. ruru must have left.
10:06 am
rururocks
oh hokie.. you are just killling me today
10:06 am
hokie carla
there he is
10:07 am
hokie carla
I'm good at throwing up softballs
10:07 am
moolingwa
or maybe rofl
10:07 am
hokie carla
be careful, ruru doesn't know what you're saying, moo
10:08 am
moolingwa
oh true
10:08 am
ChampFit
I was just thinking of rofl, till I realized it wasn't a word! I'm losing it.
10:08 am
hokie carla
because he's never seen a text/internet acronym before
10:08 am
moolingwa
he's so innocent
10:08 am
moolingwa
unsullied by acronyms...aka uba
10:08 am
hokie carla
well, champ...rotl is a word, but yes. rofl seemed real to me too.
10:09 am
rururocks
it's not that I've seen them hokie, it's just that I'm not lazy enough to use them or wanting to use them.
10:09 am
origami
Oh, yes. "Innocent" is the word that comes to mind when I think of ru.
10:09 am
MollyL
Some of us are hopelessly old fashioned and actually type out whole words. And yes Ru, not lazy typists.
10:10 am
MollyL
A babe in the woods, Origami.
10:10 am
rururocks
amost angelic don't you think ori?
10:11 am
hokie carla
I almost used one that we use all the time at my other internet place, but then realized no one would know it. ISYDU
10:11 am
moolingwa
I See Your Dirty Undies?
10:11 am
hokie carla
ha. I'm sorry you don't understand
10:13 am
hokie carla
I guess formica is a proper noun?
10:13 am
MollyL
Registered trademark
10:13 am
rururocks
that floored me too hokie
10:13 am
moolingwa
I may have tried it too :)
10:14 am
hokie carla
ruru countering with a pun
10:15 am
origami
Nice one hokie
10:18 am
MollyL
You can elaminate me from the pun contest.
10:21 am
hokie carla
solid pun on the surface
10:23 am
rururocks
i know you can go on ad linoleum about the subject
10:25 am
moolingwa
as long as no one pulls the rug out from under you
10:30 am
hokie carla
finally finished first pass. 84 left. I think I have HOET.
10:31 am
moolingwa
53 left here
10:34 am
hokie carla
exciting finish just now to the tour de france femmes
10:40 am
MollyL
I'm sure it would take my breath away if I was the least bit interested in bike racing
10:42 am
hokie carla
well, there were 2 in a breakaway and the big group (peloton) was about 6 seconds behind with like 600m to go. one of the leaders held on to win, but the group caught up and passed the other. also there was a big crash in the peloton near the end, but it was in the middle of the group.
10:48 am
rururocks
would anyone clue the pe 8/9 combo.. i sure dont' see one
10:49 am
hokie carla
was just looking again myself. but didn't know there was an 8 involved. will try again, but doubt that will help.
10:53 am
hokie carla
yeah, I got nothing
10:55 am
BzznBea
pe8 is the prefix for 5 and the curved top of a door opening.
10:56 am
rururocks
i just got them.
10:56 am
rururocks
thanks bea
10:56 am
hokie carla
ah, thanks
10:56 am
hokie carla
the 9 was not the ending I was looking for
10:56 am
rururocks
that closes out the p for me.
10:56 am
hokie carla
still need 5 Ps!
10:57 am
moolingwa
me too
10:57 am
hokie carla
but still need 12 c's
10:57 am
moolingwa
I mean...I still need 3 P's :)
10:57 am
BzznBea
the grids have been heavy on the p's and c
10:58 am
moolingwa
I mean I still need 1 p...(thx BB for the clue on the 8)
10:58 am
hokie carla
someone guess my missing H?
10:58 am
moolingwa
houdini
10:58 am
hokie carla
I have one
10:59 am
hokie carla
but good guess as you know I usually miss looking at y as 2nd letter
10:59 am
hokie carla
is that a merchant guild, moo?
11:00 am
moolingwa
(had to look at def)
11:00 am
hokie carla
then nope
11:00 am
hokie carla
(me too, and then had to click again since it was an alt sp)
11:00 am
moolingwa
(me too)
11:01 am
hokie carla
now just need 6 c's
11:02 am
moolingwa
4 C's pour moi
11:02 am
hokie carla

11:03 am
cybernan
good morning all -- don't really have time for a whopper to day, but will start
11:03 am
hokie carla
hey nan
11:03 am
hokie carla
I recommend just skipping the C and P
11:03 am
moolingwa
hey nan
11:03 am
moolingwa
4OFOET
11:03 am
moolingwa
but I do have 7 tiles that need 4 :)
11:04 am
rururocks
finished.. what a tough grid especially the p's and c's
11:04 am
hokie carla
well done, ruru
11:04 am
moolingwa
nice one ru2
11:04 am
hokie carla
down to 4 c's and 5 p's plus all the rest
11:04 am
BzznBea
nice, ru.
11:04 am
moolingwa
still 42 left for me, though fortunately only 5 PCs
11:05 am
hokie carla
59 here. still 7 F's and 5 on a couple others
11:11 am
MollyL
It was hard,but Ru pushed his way through with his head erect
11:11 am
hokie carla
ROFL
11:16 am
cybernan
half way on the p's and c's but stalling out
11:18 am
hokie carla
at a loss on this upper F, still 6 therre
11:19 am
moolingwa
4 more there
11:20 am
BzznBea
there is a stupid 8 in that f
11:20 am
moolingwa
the silverware one?
11:20 am
hokie carla
of course
11:21 am
BzznBea
the spanish party
11:21 am
hokie carla
I have tried one who fe5 several times and it's still not taking
11:21 am
moolingwa
maybe type slower
11:21 am
BzznBea
the horse carriage fi + land measure
11:21 am
hokie carla
did not have that one, thanks
11:22 am
moolingwa
oh, didn't have that one
11:22 am
BzznBea
fi6/7 combo
11:22 am
hokie carla
been trying to use the most. that is indeed stupid. thanks.
11:22 am
cybernan
can't find the f 8 that begins with the silverware -- just see that fornicate is a phantom :)
11:23 am
moolingwa
the beer barrels :)
11:23 am
moolingwa
comparative nan
11:23 am
hokie carla
superlative, actually
11:24 am
moolingwa
there you go
11:24 am
moolingwa
I like latives that are super
11:24 am
hokie carla
I don't wanna be that nerd, but I guess I am
11:24 am
moolingwa
I respect the nerd
11:24 am
cybernan
ty - it is a silly word
11:25 am
hokie carla
so the fi6/7 combo bea mentioned is different from the other 2 fi6's she gave us?
11:25 am
moolingwa
the fi6/7 are beer barrels
11:25 am
hokie carla
I do have 3 fi6 but no 7
11:26 am
moolingwa
oh, then I guess I'm missing an fi6
11:26 am
hokie carla
okay, monkeyed those. not sure I've ever seen that
11:26 am
moolingwa
because the 6/7 combo includes a plural
11:26 am
hokie carla
you are prob missing fi6/39
11:27 am
BzznBea
there are 5 fi6
11:27 am
hokie carla
I made that one up and it took
11:28 am
BzznBea
the 6.39 is the beer barrels
11:28 am
hokie carla
well, down to 2 f's now, one of which is an fi6.
11:28 am
hokie carla
no, I have 2 fi6/39
11:29 am
hokie carla
one is like a european polecat. yes, I had to look that up.
11:30 am
cybernan
thought beer barrels were kegs
11:30 am
BzznBea
how about the one that is a balled hand and most of frozen water
11:30 am
hokie carla
well, going to have to break with 44 left. 11-12-8-8-5
M4 F2
H C4 K4
R3 A3 T2 i2 F
P5 E4 N4 S5
a lot of work cut out for me. or not.
11:31 am
hokie carla
oh, that's from the other F, and that was what I needed, thanks.
11:33 am
MollyL
Can't say I have ever seen the beer barrel word before
11:33 am
moolingwa
yeah, I needed that one too (finished that F)
11:33 am
moolingwa
12-10-5-7-3
11:33 am
MollyL
And yes Nan, beer barrels are kegs. Unless you are British
11:33 am
cybernan
is the beer barrel one a 6/39?
11:34 am
cybernan
I have one, but there is no def. for it
11:34 am
moolingwa
this has a defintion
11:34 am
moolingwa
just checked
11:35 am
cybernan
oh - the one I have is like a polecat
11:39 am
moolingwa
I don't believe I have any polecatw
11:40 am
cybernan
it ws a new on for me
11:41 am

Oh my God. Alert Ru. I looked up synonyms for polecat and one of them was wood pu5 (that word we aren't allowed to say here because it's a "trigger". Even if you are referring to a cat)
11:42 am
moolingwa
well if I was to translate what it looks like, it looks like it could be literal name for a tree that is in the family of conifers :)
11:44 am
cybernan
so it begins with the conifer but doesn't end like the polecat?
11:45 am
cybernan

Hi all. Clue for the 9 out there? Please and ty.
3:06 pm
mkg
I am not seeing the 9. Perhaps it is two words? All help welcome. Ty
3:09 pm
sajarn
would you mind cluing the 9?
3:09 pm
mkg
Could use help with ek 7 word. Is it a common word?
3:10 pm
mkg
The 9: same first 4 as word before it, and than add to that an architectural or mathmatical word that forms a semi circle for the 8, then add sometimes vowel to end for the 9
3:12 pm
sajarn
e+ most of smooch, ends with the tail end of a stretchy band
3:13 pm
mkg
Sajarn, my friend who lost a son, told me it is like having an arm or leg amputated. But i think it is worse, far worse. I have not experienced it but my daughter has a very ill son and she lives iwth the horror of what tomorrow can bring.
3:14 pm
mkg
Ty sajarn. I got the e and most of smooch but not sure what the tail end of a stretch band is. A band is a circle so what is the end?
3:15 pm
mkg
Got that ek word. Ty for clues. Got the band part. Ty.
3:16 pm
sajarn
think of a sewing notion put around a waist band to cause it to stretch.
3:20 pm
sajarn
As to losing a child, it is an ever present feature of a parent's life. there is always pain. however, over time-its been eight years for me, the instances that induce pain don't happen as often or last as long, but the pain is always acute, sharp and piercing. Mostly now, I just miss my girl, what might have been. But I will see her again and for that, I am grateful.
3:34 pm
BzznBea
I'm sorry, sajarn.
3:36 pm
sajarn

5:57 pm
MollyL
I'm not getting the confusion about the fo4 either
5:59 pm
BzznBea

6:00 pm
BzznBea

6:01 pm
