I'm missing one Q and have 4 7s. trying to figure out where it might slot in

Ah, I don't have the 3rd :)

7:47 am

mael

7:50 am

lynxxx

and i thought this grid would be quick!

7:51 am

mael

it's flowing fast for me

7:51 am

mael

but I'm only on the second column

7:51 am

mael

so don't quote me on that lol

7:57 am

sukee

yay, found the last qu 7

8:16 am

hokie carla

19, 6 of which are upper S

8:17 am

hokie carla

phantom sashay

8:17 am

mael

I've tried sashay at least three times just to be sure

8:18 am

mael

6 left, 4 of which are that upper S haha

8:18 am

hokie carla

I guess no spelling of scosh is in enable

8:19 am

hokie carla

any guess on my upper E?

8:19 am

hokie carla

or H?

8:19 am

hokie carla

lol, my last T was a real word

8:20 am

hokie carla

like, not tomorrow or yesterday

8:21 am

mael

e5/12?

8:21 am

mael

that was my last T too, lol, I felt real dumb

8:21 am

mael

last H one who h4es?

8:21 am

hokie carla

that is the right E, looking now

8:21 am

mael

sounds like the knot, hokie

8:22 am

mael

2 left for me, S 6 and 7

8:22 am

hokie carla

oh, I forget about that being a word

8:22 am

hokie carla

but we've had it before

8:22 am

hokie carla

I don't have any S7, so I will look too

8:24 am

mael

oh got it, it's a variant spelling of the sa5/16 combo

8:24 am

mael

FW!

8:24 am

hokie carla

well done

8:24 am

hokie carla

ok, need to find that too, thanks

8:24 am

mael

I found it very pleasing to close out the first three columns in order haha

8:25 am

hokie carla

I could still do that since the first col is the only one I have finished

8:25 am

lynxxx

well done - I have tried but can't focus enough to do it that way

8:26 am

hokie carla

ok, found the 5/6 combo, now to spell it differently

8:27 am

hokie carla

is it also sa or is that throwing me off?

8:27 am

mael

add a vowel in the middle hokie

8:28 am

mael

thanks lynxx, it's mostly because I worked my way down the columns today and the first two were relatively easy (thanks to that qu7 hint!)

8:28 am

mael

also sa yes

8:28 am

hokie carla

I still have 1 q left

8:29 am

hokie carla

have 4 q7's

8:29 am

mael

there are 5

8:29 am

mael

you are probably missing the past tens of the first qu4

8:30 am

hokie carla

no, I have that if the first one is a big leg muscle

8:30 am

hokie carla

other 3 are pl and other tenses

8:32 am

mael

do you have the 7 before the qu9?

8:32 am

mael

sorry, qu4/9

8:32 am

hokie carla

no, that must be it

8:32 am

hokie carla

got it!

8:33 am

mael

yay!

8:33 am

Shirlockc

how many Q7? i have 4

8:33 am

hokie carla

are there 2 sa5/14 combos because I sure can't see how to add a vowel in there and make it to that ending. have even tried best word list and am apparently blind.

8:34 am

mael

5

8:34 am

mael

no, it's the sa5/16

8:35 am

hokie carla

well that makes me feel better

8:35 am

hokie carla

in other news, I have now learned that quite a few babblets are variants of the sa5/14

8:37 am

hokie carla

okay, that S gray. 10 left. 1-3-4-2
H S C SSS DDDD

8:41 am
