3:16 pm

BzznBea

4:03 pm

hokie carla

hey nan

4:08 pm

MollyL

Sorry, it's hard to keep up here

4:13 pm

cybernan

a clue for the sa 6 please?

4:14 pm

cybernan

nm foud

4:14 pm

cybernan

that's me finished -- thanks to lickety :) I missed a lot of plurals

4:15 pm

cybernan

hagd everyone

4:16 pm

moolingwa

didn't make the top 500 either

4:16 pm

hokie carla

those people must've gone really fast

4:18 pm

moolingwa

well it also gets harder the later in the day you play too :)

4:21 pm

hokie carla

I still haven't figured out how that works. I have made top 200 before playing very late in the day.

4:36 pm

moolingwa

Well today's board was relatively small in terms of number of words, and not many unusual or long words

4:37 pm

moolingwa

so think that tends to lead to faster play

4:37 pm

moolingwa

the -ing taking care of pretty much all the long words

4:37 pm

moolingwa

when you have one off long words that don't necessarily share a stem or ending, then it can be easy to miss...

4:46 pm

hokie carla

good analysis

4:51 pm

moolingwa

just a few thoughts on why, sure there are other reasons too

4:51 pm

moolingwa

still 7 left here

4:51 pm

moolingwa

and 39 points short of genius over on bee

4:51 pm

hokie carla

4:52 pm

hokie carla

4:53 pm

moolingwa

4:54 pm

moolingwa

babblet not acceptable ;)

4:57 pm

JenMO16

4:58 pm

hokie carla

up + what you do at the beginning

4:58 pm

moolingwa

add a 5 to your start

4:59 pm

hokie carla

lol, that's the least subtle clue you've ever given

4:59 pm

moolingwa

I know...but couldn't resist

5:00 pm

moolingwa

it amuses me if no one else

5:00 pm

hokie carla

so you meant to use the 5 letter word in the clue?

5:00 pm

moolingwa

I didn't say that ;)

5:01 pm

hokie carla

one left here, S7

5:01 pm

moolingwa

I do not have an S7

5:02 pm

hokie carla

well, let me know when you find it

5:03 pm

moolingwa

soupita - a little bowl of soup that includes unleavened bread

5:03 pm

5:04 pm

moolingwa

5:04 pm

moolingwa

compound word

5:04 pm

moolingwa

for the s7

5:04 pm

hokie carla

well, moo gave you the actual word at 4:58, Jen

5:04 pm

moolingwa

no I didn't, I gave a super layered clue :)

5:05 pm

hokie carla

got the s7

5:06 pm

moolingwa

perhaps our star has unipox

5:07 pm

moolingwa

5:08 pm

moolingwa

PP U
O S
D

5:08 pm

hokie carla

your u is one letter off

5:08 pm

hokie carla

and it's not the u that is the one letter 🤣

5:09 pm

moolingwa

I have that

5:09 pm

hokie carla

really

5:09 pm

moolingwa

I do try my bogus words out first :)

5:09 pm

JenMO16

still not getting it

5:09 pm

hokie carla

oh, a 4 prob. and the O is a 4.

5:10 pm

hokie carla

moo put in his clue the word "start" that is the end of the word. upstart

5:10 pm

moolingwa

ah yes, found the u

5:10 pm

moolingwa

and the o

5:10 pm

moolingwa

Well I thought it was funny...

5:11 pm

moolingwa

sometimes the obvious clue makes it harder you see

5:11 pm

hokie carla

there's a weird S4 that I thought was an abbrev, and an S6 I don't know

5:11 pm

moolingwa

I got the s6 I think

5:11 pm

moolingwa

if it's the fruit

5:12 pm

hokie carla

it was an alt sp of a marmalade tree. lol, I didn't know you could get a tree that grows marmalade.

5:12 pm

moolingwa

well they are very sweet fruit

5:12 pm

moolingwa

they grow some down in Miami

5:13 pm

hokie carla

you have the D6?

5:14 pm

hokie carla

there is a P6/7 set

5:18 pm

moolingwa

no d6

5:18 pm

moolingwa

an no p6/7 set...so there you go

5:19 pm

moolingwa

found the Ps

5:19 pm

hokie carla

gosh I'm good

5:20 pm

moolingwa

amazing, your intellect know no bounds

5:20 pm

hokie carla

true

5:20 pm

hokie carla

and now just think of a cool ass picnic visitor

5:21 pm

hokie carla

(I know you don't like clues but so wanted to use that one)

5:21 pm

moolingwa

I think about cool ass picnic visitors almost constantly

5:21 pm

moolingwa

shoulda found that one tho :)

5:21 pm

hokie carla

and that's cool-ass, not ass-picnic

5:21 pm

moolingwa

so just the s4 to go

5:22 pm

hokie carla

I did not know that D word

5:22 pm

moolingwa

yeah, builds off the 4

5:23 pm

hokie carla

IDK about that, it says the 4 is biochemistry and the 6 is electronics

5:23 pm

moolingwa

ah, was missing a plural 4

5:23 pm

moolingwa

yes, they're not literally related, but from a boggle perspective

5:24 pm

moolingwa

that's how I do words :)

5:24 pm

moolingwa

meanings are well...meaningless

5:24 pm

hokie carla

oh, yes. you are correct about that.

5:24 pm

hokie carla
