shoulda been the last word, tho
12:16 am
hokie carla
to finity and ... just that far, not beyond!
12:16 am
justafreep
clearly the creators of Enable didn't have a printer, since unjam is not a word....

PC load letter? what the *&%$ does that mean?
12:23 am
Gillie
Umm, assuming this is something your printer says, I'm guessing it wants you to insert a sheet of letter-size paper, or possibly fill the tray?
12:24 am
hokie carla
it's a movie quote

12:24 am
hokie carla
they always get paper jams and that error msg
12:24 am
Gillie
I should have realized
12:27 am
Gillie
Well, I have no idea what that jn5 is
12:29 am
justafreep
beg pardon???
12:30 am
Gillie
Rain called it below
12:31 am
hokie carla
yeah, I have never seen a jn word here or anywhere
12:31 am
hokie carla
and I can't find the Y
12:31 am
justafreep
it's on the bottom row, Carla :-)
12:31 am
Gillie
ya5 - rhymes with a Scottish word
12:32 am
hokie carla
haha, thanks for nothing, freep. will look, gillie, thx.
12:32 am
justafreep
gillie beat me to the clue, which I woulda offered up!
12:33 am
hokie carla
well, there are hundreds of scottish words, maybe I'll sleep on it.
12:34 am
hokie carla
lol, just went "aha! yairn" and it wasn't that one
12:34 am
Rainiqui
jn - common to Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism
12:35 am
hokie carla
lol, I love that is included but not some common english words
12:35 am
Gillie
Well, I just monkeyed it
12:37 am
Gillie
I think "virality" should be a word, if only because of the confusion it could cause
12:38 am
hokie carla
oh, didn't have the 5, thanks
12:38 am
Gillie
I guess that puts me in the penalty box
12:39 am
Gillie
Oh, and "yairn" is close
12:39 am
hokie carla
got it, thanks
12:39 am
hokie carla
couldn't look up
12:41 am
Gillie
Well, I don't think I'm going to get HOET tonight - g'night all, and ty for clues
12:41 am
hokie carla
HOET!
12:41 am
hokie carla
aw, shoot. forgot the 4th col N
12:42 am
hokie carla
I might not get it either
12:42 am
Gillie
Well, that's not the only place where I'm short
12:43 am
hokie carla
well I barely got half on some of them
12:43 am
justafreep
that N is unfriendly
12:43 am
hokie carla
agreed
12:43 am
hokie carla
or you could say the N is not nice
12:44 am
hokie carla
why do you hate alliteration??
12:45 am
justafreep
alliteration always alters all good sentences
12:48 am
hokie carla
well I made up an N word
12:48 am
justafreep
I enjoy the concept of a phantom grandma, so I shall mention it

9:17 am
rururocks
freep amazes me truly
9:17 am

I thought this was going to be an easy grid.. but the letters are laid out in a complicated way
9:53 am
hokie carla
ICYMI (in case you missed it) I am down to 29.
9:53 am
LeslieAnn
agreed, i can't get into a rhythm
9:53 am

I am struggling with this grid. You're right, ruru.
9:54 am
Scrabbler
Carla is not struggling.
9:54 am
hokie carla
does anyone have more than 2 on the right side N?
9:54 am
rururocks
i have all the n's
9:54 am
hokie carla
well, if ruru says it's not easy, it's not.
9:55 am
hokie carla
I have na5 and ni5 from that N
9:55 am
rururocks
lots of na's.. I can't tell which n they came from though
9:56 am
hokie carla
I swear I have tried everything there
9:56 am
LeslieAnn
i believe i have two na5 from that one carla
9:56 am
rururocks
there's a na 5 and a na 6 from that oen too
9:56 am

Why is Narnia not a thing?
9:56 am
hokie carla
mine is the academy in annapolis
9:57 am
LeslieAnn
proper noun?
9:57 am
LeslieAnn
also n + atmosphere + vowel
9:57 am
hokie carla
what do you mean by not a thing? proper nouns are not a thing in boggle.
9:57 am
BzznBea
narnia is a thing. just in another dimension
9:58 am
labecs
Just kidding. Just woke up and that's the first wrod I saw...
9:58 am
BzznBea

9:58 am
hokie carla

9:58 am
LeslieAnn
well you look VERY awake lol
9:59 am
hokie carla
okay, got that na5, thanks. def. tried words all around that. but now I can say HOET!
9:59 am
rururocks
done.. had to look up that dumbass un8 too
9:59 am
hokie carla
little help with it, ru?
9:59 am
LeslieAnn
congrats ru and huzzah carla
9:59 am
Scrabbler
Clue for that un8?
10:00 am
rururocks
means single thread
10:00 am
hokie carla
so kinda related to the phantom unilateral I keep seeing?
10:00 am
rururocks
similar to that but think fabrics
10:01 am
hokie carla
so actual thread
10:01 am
hokie carla
if only I knew someone that has a fabric buying addiction
10:01 am
rururocks
yeah.. or wire apparently
10:02 am
hokie carla
so kind like an fi8 that's not in the grid.
10:02 am
rururocks
starts like police outfit + pastry dough (partiallY) + a swedish man's name
10:04 am
rururocks
sorry that's the best I can think of to clue it
10:04 am
hokie carla
or that prefix + fi5
10:04 am
hokie carla
which I today learned the meaning of
10:04 am
hokie carla
relating to threads
10:05 am
hokie carla
3-10-9-4-1
10:06 am
rururocks
I don't clue the + FL5 that makes it tooooooo easy
10:06 am

I dont like grids without E’s or endings. I have no 7s or 8s. Yuk
10:06 am
hokie carla
sometimes words call for drastic measures
10:07 am
hokie carla
well, it's your lucky day, we are just talking about an 8
10:07 am
rururocks
I like giving clues that make people think a bit
10:07 am
hokie carla
I agree but couldn't think of the swedish man's name. maybe if you had said the metallica drummer.
10:08 am
hokie carla
any wi words, ruru? can't find that 3rd w.
10:08 am
rururocks
isn't he swedish?
10:08 am
LeslieAnn
i will admit to googling "swedish names"
10:08 am
hokie carla
yes, he is swedish
10:08 am
rururocks
enough said
10:08 am
hokie carla
sorry, he is danish per the interwebs
10:09 am
rururocks
there is a weird wa6
10:09 am
hokie carla

10:55 am
LeslieAnn
nothing larger than a 5 for G
10:56 am
hokie carla
well I have tried everything so we'll see
10:57 am
LeslieAnn
try putting "a" at the end of some of your 4s
10:57 am
BzznBea
the g's are filled with names for mom's mom
10:57 am
BzznBea
or dad's ,o
10:58 am
hokie carla
lol, my middle a was the opera song. used to always get that but lately I just can't see it.
10:58 am
hokie carla
well the g was a 5 with an a on the end, but I could've sworn I had that already
11:01 am
LeslieAnn
carla i just got a j6 that rhymes with where boats are docke
11:01 am
LeslieAnn
*docked
11:02 am
hokie carla
ah, I had already skipped that, thanks
11:04 am
hokie carla
no wonder I struggled with that right side N
11:04 am
BzznBea
carla, one of your f's is an 8
11:04 am
hokie carla
yeah, I found those
11:05 am
hokie carla
on the list now but skipped am6 if you have a hint. it's not amnity, no matter how much I want it to be a word.
11:06 am
BzznBea
am6 is the kitchen appliance comp
11:06 am
BzznBea
with an added cons
11:07 am
hokie carla
hmm, what do you mean by comp?
11:07 am
hokie carla
oh, company?
11:07 am
BzznBea
old time
11:07 am
hokie carla
I think I get it now
11:11 am
hokie carla
well, my monkeys suck at this, so I had to look it up. could not get the right cons in the right spot, even with the points and everything. anyhoo, thanks. 3 v's left now.
11:11 am
BzznBea
got to get my roast on
11:12 am
hokie carla

11:12 am
LeslieAnn

11:12 am
hokie carla
(have to step in for ruru since I think he left)
11:12 am
hokie carla
definitely need a trade
11:14 am
hokie carla
just took me about 20 tries to get a v5 when I knew the first 3 letters and the points.
11:15 am
hurshy
sometimes it do be like that
11:16 am
hokie carla
and now I'm going to look up a va6 because even with the 3rd letter I can't find it
11:17 am
hokie carla
one of those stupid male occupation descriptors
11:18 am
hokie carla
off to the other games. just realized I think I forgot to squaredle yesterday.
11:18 am
LeslieAnn
oh that is silly
11:21 am
hokie carla

BzznBea
76 squardle, huh...should be fun

11:30 am
hurshy

11:30 am
hokie carla
I'm on a squaredle break with 52 found and 35 bonus. also on a wordle break on guess 4.
11:31 am
hurshy
got the 5/6
11:31 am
hokie carla
not sure about that 5 since the def is a brand name
11:31 am
hurshy
well now i just need the one that does NOT use that third letter i guess
11:32 am
LeslieAnn
there is another in7 i think comes from there
11:32 am
hokie carla
that's the ridiculousness
11:33 am
hurshy
yeah that is what hokie said
11:33 am
hurshy

11:58 am

hokie carla
I think I finished yesterday, bea, but maybe not
12:02 pm
BzznBea
that's the way canned soup is
12:04 pm
hokie carla
yeah, I'd love to eat a whole can of soup until I read how much sodium is in it. sometimes I buy progresso's low sodium ones, but there are only a few GF flavors in all their lines, so I get what I can.
12:04 pm
hokie carla
(haha pun unintended)
12:04 pm
hurshy
it wasn't canned, it's one of those in a plastic tub at the front of the store things, walmart's Marketside brand
12:04 pm
hokie carla
those are still salty too a lot of times
12:04 pm
hurshy
i like the lobster bisque one that they have
12:05 pm
hokie carla
I like to make my own soup and use low sodium broth
12:05 pm
hurshy
yeah, i mostly make my own but
12:05 pm
BzznBea
I make a soup every week here
12:05 pm
hurshy

12:06 pm
hokie carla
I just had a flavored tuna pack on bread. it was hot buffalo and I almost died.
12:06 pm
hurshy
i guess my plan will switch to celery with peanut butter
12:06 pm
BzznBea
i don't like patuna
12:08 pm
cybernan
having trouble with the i and n on the right. Every time I think I've found a word, it comes from the other side.
12:08 pm
hokie carla
2 in7 and a in5/6 set
12:10 pm
hokie carla
the N gave me lots of trouble. one ni5 that rhymes with a competitor and the rest are na.
12:12 pm
cybernan
that gave me 3 of them - ty carla
12:12 pm
hokie carla
if you want more specific, na5/10, na6/30, na5/16, na5/16, na6/27, ni5/16

12:13 pm
hurshy

12:13 pm
hokie carla
yes, are you unfamiliar with buffalo hot sauce?
12:13 pm
hokie carla

12:13 pm
rururocks

12:14 pm
hokie carla

12:14 pm
hurshy
well that's a silly word
12:14 pm
hokie carla
I found the less common one and had to have a bea clue for the more common one
12:14 pm
hurshy
vi8 would make much more sense
12:15 pm
cybernan

12:15 pm
hurshy

12:18 pm
cybernan

hurshy

12:18 pm

1:35 pm
cybernan
with all the acronyms and abbreviations that are accepted, I am surprised that wifi isnt one of them
1:38 pm
MollyL
Way too current for the circa 2000 Enable
1:40 pm
mael
enable is current circa 1867
1:40 pm
cybernan
wifi was around before 2000
1:40 pm
MollyL
Seems like it
1:41 pm
cybernan

1:41 pm
MollyL
Yeah, but not as a widely recognized term

2:07 pm
cybernan
done - tough one
2:40 pm
hurshy
well hifi isn't in the dictionary either, so maybe it's not about the time the word came about the but the nature of the word, hi-fi, wi-fi, short for high-fidelity and then wireless... well, fidelity, i guess, only i think that part was only there for the play on hi-fi.
2:46 pm
hurshy
ah, monkeyed it at last
2:46 pm
hurshy
and that's fw
2:49 pm

2:52 pm
hokie carla
here's the wikipedia on wifi - https://tinyurl.com/y6d34em4
and here's a britannica entry on wifi - https://tinyurl.com/3u3mpcez
basically created by a marketing firm as a play on hi-fi and it is technically hyphenated
2:55 pm
periwinkle
ty for fi words
2:55 pm
hokie carla
also from an article on Huffington Post "It’s worth noting that while many people write “wifi,” “Wi-Fi” is the official spelling." Not that official spelling ever stopped Enable, but it definitely was not in use as wifi in 2000 when Enable was made.
3:01 pm
periwinkle
un8 please
3:02 pm
periwinkle
