From memory you can add a small quantity to cut - you could try that just for a test. I assume you can"t load BabbleExpert?

8:07 am

I think we all need to give DrGod a break. He has moved Servers enabling us to play now. Transferring everything else will mean a massive unpaid work load for him. I guess there are a lot of players who did not even paid the inital few $s to join/play. Not forgetting IronSudoko which a lot play also. Praise be DrGod and thank you again.

8:07 am

mael

I hadn't even seen that ending yet

They are more goofy than stunning. But I"m doing my best. I'll send you a pic in messenger.

10:36 am

car.eeyore

I hope you have a wonderful day! The next time I'm in Pittsburgh, maybe we can meet!?!?!?!

10:39 am

Scrabbler

6:38 pm

hurshy

i've just started "All the Light We Cannot See" on Netflix... haven't read the book yet though

6:40 pm

Scrabbler

The book is outstanding, definitely in my top 10.

6:41 pm

hurshy

usually works out better that way, really, if you read the book first the filmed version is usually disappointing

6:41 pm

penquis

does anyone want to clue the ar 7?

6:41 pm

hurshy

oh i need that too

6:46 pm

penquis

how about ar 8?

6:47 pm

hurshy

the things that carry your blood and spurt if you cut them

6:47 pm

Scrabbler

TY

6:48 pm

Adonax

What does this mean, ar 7 or ar 8? This is my first time playing.

6:48 pm

penquis

there is a word with seven letters that starts with AR....and one with eight letters that starts with AR....

6:49 pm

penquis

you can find these stats on Lickety's list....look below the tile stats and you will see a link...

6:50 pm

Adonax

Ah. I actually got the ar 7. But how do you know that there are ar words even? The tile stats just indicate first letters, yes?

6:51 pm

LeslieAnn

welcome adonax! FYI this is really big for a grid. average # of words is probably 100-200. new grid every day at midnight US central time.

6:53 pm

penquis

hursh....still here?

6:54 pm

hurshy

yes

6:54 pm

penquis

6:55 pm

hi TO....

72 Temple Owl

:)

6:56 pm

Adonax

Hi LeslieAnn. That's good to hear about the size. I'm more likely to come back for a smaller board. I've got 310 with 144 to go, so far. The tile stats are very helpful clues, but also make it harder to put aside the puzzle.

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

in the beginning, if you did not pay to join, you got no stats.

6:57 pm

penquis

warning....babble is addictive... ;o)

6:57 pm

hokie carla

rehi

6:58 pm

LeslieAnn

that's great for a first grid!

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

so can you still join now, or are you doomed to forever babbling in the shadows?

6:58 pm

LeslieAnn

people come up with all kinds of goals to make it easier to walk away lol. like having one from each tile, or more than half from each tile etc.

6:59 pm

LeslieAnn

i believe Dr. G. said he stopped collecting money and just gave anyone who signed up a "paid" account at one point (a few years ago?)

7:00 pm

penquis

i am down to 4....A and D words....7s and 8s....

7:00 pm

hokie carla

yeah, I think everyone can see the stats now

7:00 pm

hokie carla

nice pen

7:00 pm

72 Temple Owl

i was wondering. seems like all new players are shadow people

no one has AR 7 or AR 8?

7:02 pm

Adonax

LeslieAnn, I play a lot of Wordsplay online. Some of the folks there mentioned this site so I thought I'd checkit out. Definitely fun. I have one S (col 1, row 3) that is not at half yet. 9 of 22. I like that halfway for each letter goal.

7:02 pm

hokie carla

we call that HOET - half on every tile

7:18 pm

penquis

7:18 pm

Scrabbler

TY. I dislike that slimy vegetable.

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

ditto

7:19 pm

Scrabbler

So, I need on7.

7:19 pm

hokie carla

me too. still.

7:19 pm

penquis

it's a comparative, scrabs....

7:19 pm

Adonax

penquis, I meant that in terms of being new hear and not wanting to do something like make it inappropriately easy

7:19 pm

LeslieAnn

on7 is a babblet. sounds like more nasty

7:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

any serious bakers here? i made a new cake and some things need to improve

7:19 pm

hurshy

more cranky, in a special dialect based spelling

7:20 pm

hokie carla

well, I kept trying to think of something like that , Leslie, thx

7:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's too labor intensive to fumble my way to perfection

7:21 pm

penquis

found it....ends with not "fro"....

7:21 pm

Scrabbler

I found on7 on the list.

7:21 pm

BzznBea

7:21 pm

hurshy

7:22 pm

penquis

7:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:22 pm

hokie carla

oh yeah, we have trouble with those double t a words every time

7:22 pm

penquis

i gave a small clue....if people ask, I can give more of a clue...

7:22 pm

BzznBea

what kind of cake was it TO?

7:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:22 pm

Scrabbler

So what is that ar7?

7:23 pm

hokie carla

an alt sp of a lipstick tree

7:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:23 pm

penquis

7:23 pm

Scrabbler

I never heard of a lipstick tree.

7:23 pm

hokie carla

7:23 pm

LeslieAnn

whoa that sounds advanced TO

7:24 pm

penquis

TO....i said it ended in not "fro".....

7:24 pm

BzznBea

yes, that's too fussy for me.

7:24 pm

penquis

and carla said she always has trouble with those double T words....

7:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

not advanced. just a pain with a small work space. peelin and dicing and all that

7:25 pm

Adonax

I suppose it could be used in a cake recipe, but that might be a stretch.

7:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

*smakcs forehoead* thanks

7:25 pm

Scrabbler

7:29 pm

hokie carla

7:29 pm

Adonax

72 Temple Owl - part of what makes it tricky is that it is not the usual spelling for this word.

9:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

carla do you have the final re6/18?

9:51 pm

hokie carla

just on the M but will look

9:53 pm

hokie carla

no luck yet and I know what the 3rd letter has to be

9:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

either s or t

9:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

so i am pulling at my hair

9:54 pm

hokie carla

oh, I thought I finished that other R. might help if I look at it.

9:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

found it. want a clue

9:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

it's a t

9:55 pm

hokie carla

that's okay, going back to the M for now

9:56 pm

Adonax

Ack, am having big trouble with ar 8 40. That is my last A word. So, all 1 pt letters. Also, comes after ar.. (should I not reveal?) but before as.

9:57 pm

hokie carla

it's a regular word. in your body, with blood

9:57 pm

hokie carla

plural

9:58 pm

hokie carla

also, I say don't worry about revealing too much this late in the day (well, don't give the actual word but you know)

9:59 pm

Adonax

doh! thanks. OK, was thrown by the tricky path.

9:59 pm

hokie carla

yep, I didn't see it either, saw it clued at some point today

10:00 pm

Adonax

I didn't think to backtrack to the R--but took that R as taken, despite it having a neighboring R.

10:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

early day tomorrow. good night and ha[[y babbling

10:02 pm

hokie carla

good night - still 16 left here

10:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

i certainly hope the demonstrators will not be at the station tomorrow. at least until i catch the train home.

10:03 pm

hokie carla

good luck

10:03 pm

72 Temple Owl

they started out peacefully but then blocked trains. why do they think the US can end the conflict in the middle east?

10:04 pm

hokie carla

who knows

10:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

that's what i say. see you tomorrow.

10:04 pm

hokie carla

good night

10:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is very interesting. like with most things nowadays. younger people have their own views.

10:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

night al

10:05 pm

hokie carla

but what do they think stopping trains there will accomplish?

10:19 pm

hokie carla

well that was a slog with the list. why I usually don't use it with that many left.

10:37 pm

cybernan

have totally lost interest so leaving - hopefully the next grid will be more manageable.

10:40 pm

hurshy

they likely feel that they must do SOMETHING, anything... even if it seems futile

10:48 pm

Adonax

OK, ready to leave this one. I just have one I'd really like to figure out: on7.28. Clues?

10:51 pm

hokie carla

it's a comparative, alt spelling of say what a grumpy old man is

10:52 pm

Adonax

thanks, got it.

10:53 pm

Adonax

oops maybe not

10:53 pm

hokie carla

no prob, come back tomorrow for more fun!

10:54 pm

hokie carla

OR8 (not in the grid) is how I would spell and say ON7

10:54 pm

Adonax

there, just bobbling some of the letters
That was fun. If the board is smaller tomorrow, I'll try again. But this might be too addicting.

10:55 pm

hokie carla

they're usually between 100-200

10:56 pm

hokie carla

I'm guessing 153 for tomorrow

10:56 pm

Adonax

95 left, three hours of life spent, not bad

10:57 pm

Adonax

agreed about or8

10:57 pm

Adonax

have a good night!

10:59 pm

hokie carla

lol, I'm sure I spent way more than that

10:59 pm

hokie carla

I'm very slow

12:00 am
