What - it doesn't take antislip! (Mind you, I can only find "slip-resistant" footwear, and it isn't very.)

1:16 am

justafreep

enable also never had teenagers, as it doesn't take 'anticlean'

1:17 am

Gillie

Oops - antislip is in the dictionary, but not in the grid

1:17 am

Gillie

Yeah, I tried anticlean too

1:17 am

periwinkle

I just tried anticlean too.

hi, mich

1:21 am

Gillie

Giving up on the pa8 and the an9 for now - good night all

1:21 am

justafreep

I wonder how often the grid is 30% words starting with a single letter (today P, but in general, I wonder)

1:22 am

ChampFit

I take exception to the pa8. For goodness sake!

10:09 am

Biltong

don't have that pa8

10:11 am

Soodle

Champ is correct, Biltong. It’s highly questionable.

10:17 am

ChampFit

By now you'd think I'd just throw that ending on anything. Can't hurt!

10:37 am

mkg

Does anyone have the nine????

10:43 am

mkg

I just dont see the nine. I think it is from bottom row a.

10:43 am

hokie carla

I'm thinking it's against something but I tried everything last night even before it was called.

10:45 am

mkg

Nope. The third letter cant be a T. I think perhaps an and then either F or H or E……from bottom row an. That is my guess.

10:45 am

hokie carla

ok, then I have no idea

10:45 am

hokie carla

but that should narrow it down

10:46 am

mkg

I looked at lickety list and the against word comes after this.

10:47 am

mkg

Not seeing it at all.
