4:44 am

mattygroves

5:08 am

MollyL

It has slang for urine in the middle and consumed at the end

6:02 am

dauber

I suddenly realized why I couldn't find any words starting with the upper-left E. Good God, I am up way too early.

6:07 am

MollyL

Coffee or back to bed for you

6:10 am

dauber

I don't do coffee, so that other idea is, quite honestly, pretty sweet sounding.

6:55 am

Deeha

thanks for 10 Molly. Didnt know it, had to fiddle about!

7:51 am

mael

hello everyone

7:54 am

suefrad625

8:13 am

I was sure the 10 was going to be -ne4 word

8:43 am

rururocks

wow that ten is a cool word

8:53 am

dan2bit

morning all! corners done

8:53 am

rururocks

thank you molly for that one

9:09 am

MollyL

I think it's kind of pissy

9:12 am

rururocks

there are some funny combinations of words today

9:13 am

hokie carla

wow, I hadn't even seen the -ne4

9:14 am

hokie carla

BzznBea

salutations

9:14 am

rururocks

good morning bea

9:14 am

hokie carla

bea!

9:15 am

hokie carla

rainiqui made the 10 sound easy but the clue isn't ringing any bells

9:16 am

rururocks

you might be a little thick about it hokie?

9:44 am

hokie carla

well, I always am but am going to take that as a hint and try to work that in

9:45 am

rururocks

:D it's a big hint

9:52 am

BzznBea

carla, molly clued it at 5:08

9:53 am

penquis

three letters before the pee and three letters after the pee... hello all....

9:53 am

rururocks

She's flush with clues now

9:53 am

BzznBea

morning pen

9:54 am

penquis

hi bea...

9:57 am

hokie carla

yes, I saw molly's clue and couldn't get inpissate to work

9:58 am

penquis

you need three letters before the pee, not two....

9:58 am

penquis

start with second column i.....

9:58 am

hokie carla

yes, I also tried inepissate and innpissate

9:59 am

hokie carla

finally got the right combo

9:59 am

penquis

sorry, NOT second column i....

9:59 am

penquis

good...weird word....

9:59 am

penquis

it means to thicken....hence ru's clue....

9:59 am

hokie carla

not a word I have ever seen or would ever know. not sure how other people would call it easy or think a def. hint would help me.

10:00 am

penquis

i have never seen it before either....and it's an uncommon combination of letters....

10:00 am

rururocks

I've seen it before but didn't remember it

10:01 am

penquis

i only found it with Molly's clue....it was still on the page when i got here....

10:01 am

hokie carla

I just want to get another 2nd col i and another fourth row E for HOET

10:01 am

aebmusica

Et7/28……clue please

10:01 am

hokie carla

hmm

10:02 am

penquis

sorry, don't have that ET word....

10:02 am

penquis

and i am missing too many words to help, carla....

10:02 am

hokie carla

do you know which E it's from?

10:02 am

BzznBea

winds of the mediterranian

10:02 am

hokie carla

yeah, i have 73 left

10:02 am

rururocks

sounds like a well et7 aeb

10:03 am

aebmusica

Ty Rufus…

10:03 am

hokie carla

but of course, we have that all the time and I never see it.

10:03 am

aebmusica

Tyruru

10:03 am

mkg

I dont see the 10 in lickety. Anyonoe have the stats? Ty

10:04 am

BzznBea

it in10.77

10:04 am

mkg

Ty.

10:04 am

penquis

in 10....see my post at 9:53....last three are consumed....

10:05 am

mkg

Ty pen

10:06 am

rururocks

whew.. this was a tough little grid today

10:06 am

hokie carla

found the other 2 E's on that 4th row. I always miss those! think Jack Nicholson as the Joker in the original(?) Batman

10:06 am

hokie carla

movie

10:07 am

rururocks

I felt like a douche for missing them too hokie

10:07 am

BzznBea

lol

10:08 am

mkg

In and then is there the three letters before and after the P????? Got the ending. Ty

10:08 am

penquis

i keep seeing the words that are almost there...

10:08 am

mkg

What is the meaning of this weird 10?

10:08 am

penquis

NO...the first three letters includes IN....

10:08 am

mkg

Ii tried inseminate but nope.

10:09 am

rururocks

inseminate would be a stroke of luck in this grid

10:09 am

penquis

where is the Pee....as in urine?

10:09 am

BzznBea

vulgar word for urine in the middle

10:09 am

penquis

not going there, ru...

10:09 am

mkg

Yup.

10:10 am

mkg

Boy am i lost.

10:11 am

hokie carla

I told you everything not to try at 9:58. only one 3rd letter option left.

10:11 am

penquis

IN + consonant + pee + consumed....pee or another word for urine....best i can do....

10:11 am

mkg

In + three letters + p + vulgar word for urine + past tense of consume???????? Too many letters then.

10:12 am

BzznBea

in = cons + vulgar word urine + consumes

10:12 am

penquis

AS I SAID at 10:08, the three letters includes IN....you have to read all the chat after asking for clues...

10:12 am

BzznBea

in + cons

10:13 am

penquis

sliding into lurk mode for a bit....

10:13 am

rururocks

well urine in good company at least MKG

10:13 am

mkg

Got it. Wow. Ok so tell me if any of you have seen that word before………..

10:13 am

BzznBea

it comes from the I in the second row

10:13 am

mkg

Ty clues were fantastic.

10:14 am

mkg

it means to thicken. So when you add flour to make gravy for a turkey you are in********ing. It also has past tense ed.

10:15 am

mkg

A verb. To in********

10:17 am

rururocks

I guess a good clue was going to eventually leak out sooner or later..

10:17 am

mkg

Yup it takes me a while.

10:20 am

mkg

Ty for your patience everyone.

10:22 am

4:17 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the second et7/8 combo?

72 Temple Owl

HAS THE IN 10 BEENCLUES LATELY?

7:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

oops, sorry. good night

9:32 pm

rbud

that in10 is a hard one to clue, I'll bet, having just now finally found it. Opposite of "outs" followed by a somewhat rude word for urinate (to "take the **** " is Brit slang for making fun of someone, among other things) then finishes up with the past tense for taking nourishment.

9:33 pm

rbud

yes, I did kind of make that harder than it had to be, I suppose, haha!
