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....

12:17 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:17 am

justafreep

thanks, lickety

12:17 am

Gillie

ty lickety

12:18 am

hokie carla

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

Gillie

Oh...

12:24 am

hokie carla

Office Space

12:24 am

Rainiqui

nbt, nbs, jn 5

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

hokie carla

naw

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

12:49 am

hokie carla

yeah, that would be nice if she baked phantom cookies

12:51 am

justafreep

ov7 x 2

9:17 am

rururocks

freep amazes me truly

9:17 am

MollyL

9:53 am

hokie carla

hey, did you all hear there is a jn5? will have to look that one up too.

9:53 am

rururocks

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

Scrabbler

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

9:55 am

BzznBea

carla!

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

labecs

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

need to get some breakfast

9:58 am

hokie carla

possibly I need more coffee. thought LA's clue said n + apostrophe

9:58 am

LeslieAnn

well you look VERY awake lol

9:59 am

Scrabbler

Haha.

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

mkg

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

ok, that's it, thanks

10:09 am

rururocks

yeah it's a scandinavian name and sometimes german

10:10 am

rururocks

scrunched up paper + most of not female

10:10 am

mkg

Ty i got the un 8.

10:10 am

hokie carla

10:11 am

LeslieAnn

10:11 am

hokie carla

10:11 am

mkg

Wow weird words. Ty

10:11 am

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.

11:02 am

hokie carla

BzznBea

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

11:07 am

BzznBea

11:11 am

BzznBea

11:12 am

hokie carla

11:12 am

hokie carla

(have to step in for ruru since I think he left)

11:12 am

hokie carla

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

11:31 am

hurshy

11:32 am

LeslieAnn

hokie carla

they are making snow in the western NC mountains ski resorts. my son was going this weekend. I think they got a dusting of real snow too. but high 60s here at my house today.

11:45 am

BzznBea

we too are in the 60's because it is so humid

11:46 am

hokie carla

you are supposed to be 70 or 71

11:46 am

hokie carla

sun is trying to peek out here after 2 days of rain. definitely very humid out.

11:47 am

cybernan

15 x v? no way !

11:49 am

BzznBea

closed ou the u's

11:56 am

hurshy

i've got 14 of them

11:56 am

hurshy

and i think hokie has all 15

11:57 am

hokie carla

yes, I am finished. my last U, that I had to get from the list, was maybe the most real one

11:58 am

hokie carla

oh wait, think you were responding to the V's.

11:58 am

cybernan

there was a non-word in the grid yesterday.
Phantism: belief in fake words

11:58 am

hokie carla

yeah, a lot of those are not words in my vocab

11:59 am

hurshy

i need 2 of the U

11:59 am

BzznBea

carla you got the o's yesterday that dealt with the deviant

11:59 am

cybernan

so far I have 60 real words -- think I am coming close to the end of that list for this grid

12:00 pm

hurshy

you never know, sometimes you miss real ones. i just found another one, an ma6

12:00 pm

hurshy

good lord

12:01 pm

hurshy

i bought a soup to try yesterday, tuscan potato vegetable. big mistake

12:01 pm

cybernan

12:01 pm

hurshy

i don't think i've ever tasted so much salt in one bite of anything

12:02 pm

hurshy

what on earth were they thinking

12:02 pm

hokie carla

what brand?

12:02 pm

cybernan

u x8 now - all normal

12:02 pm

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

ah

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

on the weekend i like to have something for a quick lunch

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.

12:11 pm

hurshy

hmmm

12:12 pm

cybernan

12:12 pm

hokie carla

12:12 pm

hurshy

12:12 pm

rururocks

Hot buffalo?

12:12 pm

hokie carla

if you don't want more specific, too late

12:13 pm

hurshy

was the flavor of her flavored tuna pack

12:13 pm

hokie carla

yes, are you unfamiliar with buffalo hot sauce?

12:13 pm

hokie carla

12:13 pm

rururocks

Oh ugh

12:13 pm

hurshy

12:14 pm

hokie carla

12:14 pm

hurshy

12:14 pm

hokie carla

12:14 pm

hurshy

12:14 pm

hurshy

12:14 pm

hokie carla

cybernan

hurshy

12:18 pm

hokie carla

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

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.

2:41 pm

hurshy

am6?

2:46 pm

hurshy

ah, monkeyed it at last

2:46 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

tough grid for me

3:02 pm

hokie carla
