hokie carla

when are they going to make hiree a word?

10:36 am

hokie carla

and I guess my last H is hi8 but no idea

10:38 am

BzznBea

the he8 is a verb where as the word with the extra letter is a noun.

10:38 am

marksdolly

think of the top of an order of command, we are used to seeing it with an Y on the end

10:38 am

hokie carla

thanks, dolly!

10:39 am

12:18 pm

hurshy

phantom: raia

12:24 pm

Shirlockc

12:27 pm

hokie carla

singular of the latin u we have quite a bit. inside your body.

12:27 pm

hurshy

is it just me or are the A words hard, esp the 3rd row

12:28 pm

hokie carla

they are hard. I did eventually find 8/10 on the 2nd row and 11/19 on the 3rd.

12:28 pm

hurshy

i have 8 and 7 so far

12:29 pm

ChampFit

They're hard. And so were the U's, for me. Too many vowels! Just finished though. Have a great day!

12:43 pm

hokie carla

I was proud of myself for getting the vowelly u and its singular that we never see.

12:44 pm

hokie carla

in fact, I just guessed that it existed

1:18 pm

Shirlockc

i've been monkeying my single U for a while and no success

2:29 pm

Shirlockc

2:48 pm

mkg

Ty for the ut clue. I got the plural but not the singular. Ty.

2:57 pm

cybernan

need a break

4:17 pm

hurshy

just to clarify there are TWO different U words that we have the singular of today, that we also have the plural (which we have more often). one is something we are all familiar with. the one hokie was most recently mentioning is a ur5 and 6, not ut.

4:20 pm

hurshy

phantom: hurrah

4:33 pm

hurshy

yowie, done with 4s and 31 words to go

4:35 pm

hurshy

name that proper noun! acting siblings John and Joan

4:47 pm

4:53 pm

dcseain

Cusack

4:54 pm

dcseain

4:54 pm

hurshy

4:57 pm

dcseain

4:57 pm

dcseain

4:57 pm

dcseain

oops

4:59 pm

dcseain

yay, cat moved, so I have both hands again.

4:59 pm

hurshy

4:59 pm

hurshy

no biggie

5:00 pm

dcseain

I only started a bit ago.

5:31 pm

cybernan

hi again. Returning to being stuck on the last 7

5:35 pm

MollyL

That singular, hilarious

5:36 pm

cybernan

te 6-7 please?

5:40 pm

Gillie

Reading the chat in reverse, I took dcseain's "ouch" to be a response to the cat (although it's unusual to type it)

5:43 pm

MollyL

te6/7...high male voice spelled the Canadian way

5:45 pm

Gillie

I'm Canadian, and I would never spell it that way. It's not a British spelling either, since the original word is Italian.

5:46 pm

Gillie

According to Wiktionary, te6/7 means "the (primary) intended message or purpose of something."

5:46 pm

hurshy

i can't believe it, i've now found all but one A

5:46 pm

hurshy

12 words left altogether

5:47 pm

Gillie

5:47 pm

5:48 pm

cybernan

5:48 pm

hurshy

5:48 pm

cybernan

let me guess - au 6?

5:49 pm

Gillie

I mean, it's the only one I don't have, so I thought it might be the one you don't have.

5:49 pm

hurshy

y'all are confusing the heck outta me

5:49 pm

hurshy

no, it's just a fancy version of the word for writer

5:49 pm

cybernan

clue for the au 6 please?

5:49 pm

hurshy

crossed in cyberspace lol

5:50 pm

dcseain

merci beaucoup, hurshy

5:50 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy

5:50 pm

Gillie

ty

5:51 pm

Gillie

I meant, it was the only A I didn't have. I still need 48 others.

5:52 pm

Gillie

There's nothing like a slight delay to make a conversation more interesting.

5:53 pm

hurshy

lol

5:53 pm

cybernan

ou 6 following the painful one

5:54 pm

hurshy

ooh that's what i need too

Gillie

5:56 pm

cybernan

5:56 pm

hurshy

5:57 pm

cybernan

5:57 pm

hurshy

5:58 pm

hurshy
