Well, the 8 wasn't hard. Maybe that's a good sign.

7:22 am

dan2bit

wondering why the 8 can't be singular

7:49 am

MollyL

It's peculiar because the latter root word can be singular.

7:49 am

MollyL

But then Babble thrives on the peculiar.

7:51 am

BzznBea

and does the singular have the same defininition?

7:52 am

MollyL

According to Google it does

7:52 am

BzznBea

never seen a singular.

7:54 am

MollyL

(informal) A bubble of lather or foam (the singular of s4)

12:59 pm

hokie carla

PR? for the compound

12:59 pm

moolingwa

nope

1:00 pm

hokie carla

well, it's not pitstop, because that's neither a word nor actually in the grid

1:00 pm

hokie carla

but I have tried it more than once

1:00 pm

moolingwa

I'm sure folks in certain parts of Europe can't wait for this p7

1:02 pm

moolingwa

well there are two p7s

1:02 pm

moolingwa

just found the other, which isn't a compound

1:04 pm

hokie carla

so that makes my S's a 5 and 2 6's. and a P7 from each P. BRB.

1:04 pm

moolingwa

both p7s are from the left

1:04 pm

hokie carla
