Gillie

I try to get the big ones, but I don't actually usually get all that many by myself

10:46 am

11:02 am

nrkii

I'm better off than you on those

11:03 am

nrkii

10 of those are "again" words

hurshy

INTERESTING

11:03 am

hurshy

i have 13 re but i only consider 8 of them again words

11:03 am

hokie carla

you would think to fix a sock again would work

11:04 am

hurshy

which suggests two more RE words

11:04 am

hokie carla

ok, I have 12

11:04 am

hurshy

yup there's one...

11:04 am

hokie carla

I only have 7 I'd consider do again

11:04 am

hurshy

and there's the other!

11:04 am

hokie carla

and one is from the other R

11:04 am

hurshy

so 15 re total

11:05 am

nrkii

interesting

11:05 am

nrkii

Oh, I have 19 RE words

11:05 am

hokie carla

ah, 2 from the other R so I grayed that one finally

11:05 am

nrkii

I forgot the other R

11:05 am

nrkii

:)

11:06 am

hurshy

you can't have 19 RE words, there are only 15

11:06 am

nrkii

I'm still missing 2 R's from the 3rd row

11:06 am

hokie carla

11:12 am

hurshy

11:12 am

hokie carla

11:23 am

jesdraggon

11:26 am

nrkii

hokie, when you are back, I think I have your 7

11:29 am

hokie carla

I'm back and even colder. this feels like a soup day.

11:29 am

jesdraggon

oh, soup is a great idea! I know what I'm doing for lunch now!

11:30 am

nrkii

Hokie, I'm still missing 2 F's, but I have 2 FE7 words

11:30 am

nrkii

one has a plural, so I'm guessing you have that

11:30 am

hokie carla

ftr, it is 45 and sunny out but it is cold in this room.

11:31 am

hokie carla

the one I need starts with an act of strength, etc. how hard could it be to find 3 more letters?

11:31 am

jesdraggon

it was -19f when I took the dogs out an hour ago here

11:31 am

nrkii

the other circles into the bottom right corner

11:31 am

hokie carla

babble blindness?

11:32 am

nrkii

oh, good one... superlative, even

11:32 am

hokie carla

oh that's way too cold

11:32 am

nrkii

thanks, that was one of my two missing F words

11:32 am

nrkii

maybe your last 5 is my other?

11:33 am

jesdraggon

the dogs agree! double jackets and boots and they still shiver

11:33 am

hokie carla

it was something you'd find in a fast food restaurant

11:33 am

hurshy

there's an fa6/36

11:33 am

nrkii

shoot, I had that one

11:33 am

nrkii

11:33 am

hokie carla

11:34 am

hokie carla

finally, thanks

11:34 am

nrkii

ooh, fe6.33 may be it

11:34 am

hokie carla

it was new to ruru even

11:34 am

cybernan

good morning - don't have an fe 6/33 either

11:35 am

hokie carla

it's like a state of being wild

11:35 am

hokie carla

(that should help)

11:35 am

nrkii

bingo

11:35 am

nrkii

thanks!

11:36 am

nrkii

five to go... 1 T and 4 H... 0-3-1-1

11:36 am

hokie carla

ok my H is HE6/21 and I know the 3rd letter and can't see it.

11:36 am

hokie carla

oh geez, a one who does

11:37 am

nrkii

there is one like the author

11:37 am

hokie carla

I am not a se4

11:37 am

hokie carla

now to those 2 R's. we'll see how long it takes me to see those.

11:37 am

nrkii

heh, that was my missing h6 too

11:37 am

jesdraggon

think the pup might be starting a seizure, back later

11:37 am

nrkii

is my missing 7 an H or a T?

11:37 am

hokie carla

oh no!

11:38 am

nrkii

oh no!

11:38 am

hokie carla

did you get the greek concubine?

11:38 am

hokie carla

ps - my missing R's were same root as my missing H

11:38 am

hurshy

i think she didn't cause there's no T7 a nd only one H7

11:38 am

nrkii

I tried it with the wrong spelling, and it didn't work

11:39 am

nrkii

:)

11:39 am

nrkii

thank you

11:39 am

hokie carla

yeah, i had to look it up because I couldn't get the spelling right today

nrkii

down to 3 5-letter words, 2 H, 1 T

11:40 am

hokie carla

which T tile?

11:40 am

nrkii

found the T. Plural

11:40 am

nrkii

ugh

11:40 am

hokie carla

LOL, that was mine as well.

11:41 am

hokie carla

I think the problem was the plural was from the other T than the sing.

11:41 am

nrkii

yes, we can blame the tiles

11:41 am

nrkii

what R's are you missing?

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl
