7:46 am

hokie carla

mkg

Thanks for the clue. Still trying to get it. Ty.

periwinkle

what was the en9 that was removed from lickety's list

10:10 am

An alternate spelling of enrollment, which is how we spell it here in these United States

10:22 am

MollyL

stuck on last 4: PMEO 6677

2:15 pm

hokie carla

2:16 pm

hokie carla

2:16 pm

hokie carla

PL7 - if something goes boom, there might've been an exPL7

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

cybernan

hokie carla

good luck out there

2:25 pm

hurshy

peri, you did use fetching correctly :D

2:26 pm

hurshy

i have 4 O6s, 3 near each other in the list, maybe you just didn't notice your fourth when you counted

2:26 pm

hurshy

for i too am missing one O word

2:27 pm

hurshy

aHA i got my missing one, it was not really hard

2:27 pm

hokie carla

I def just have 3

2:28 pm

hurshy

then you need a fourth. if you only have 2 next to each other you prob need the one that comes right after them, i believe it is a prayer of some kind, we have it sometimes in grids.

2:28 pm

hokie carla

1 pl, 1 ends in not daughter, and 1 asia related

2:28 pm

hurshy

ah then you missed the bird

2:48 pm

hurshy
