9:41 am

hurshy

bea has a nemesis T??

9:42 am

hokie carla

well, I don't know if it's a nemesis, it's always referred to as bea's fish

9:42 am

hurshy

you think you know people well and then you find out they have nemesis words

9:42 am

hokie carla

I also have a nemesis T

9:42 am

ChampFit

:)

9:42 am

hurshy

are you saying they are similar in that they are both nemeses, or do they also share further similarities? your R and her T i mean

9:43 am

hokie carla

similar in the 3rd/4th letter combo

9:44 am

LeslieAnn

hurshy

oh good there's another re8, now just one each from corner and lower right

9:55 am

ChampFit

you go this!

9:56 am

hurshy

the last couple are usually quite hard to see when there are so many

9:56 am

hurshy

just cause your brain is like... it keeps wanting to go the same ways it already went

9:56 am

hokie carla

was just thinking the same, I prob won't get these unless I list

10:03 am

hurshy

phantom: extra

10:03 am

hokie carla

nice

10:04 am

hokie carla

I wonder who one who ex5s themselves is not a word

10:04 am

hurshy

nor can you do it again

10:05 am

ChampFit

Yep

10:07 am

hokie carla

I have a LOT of e's left. 5 + 6 + 3

10:07 am

hurshy

i just need 2+2+1

10:07 am

ChampFit

I'm low on those. Need T's and C's mostly.

10:08 am

hokie carla

10:08 am

hokie carla

I need 13 + 8 T's but haven't looked again yet

10:08 am

hokie carla

phantom energetic

10:10 am

hokie carla

also why isn't one who leaves a word?

10:11 am

hurshy

Os Obliterated!!!

10:11 am

ChampFit

agree

10:11 am

hurshy

i wondered that too hokie

10:11 am

cybernan

good morning all -- didn't really nead a grid this big!

10:11 am

hokie carla

hey nan, it's so cold here I'm not going outside until dinner tonight

10:11 am

hurshy

maybe you just didn't KNOW you needed a grid this big

10:12 am

ChampFit

It's a bear.

10:13 am

hurshy

phantom: entertain

10:13 am

hokie carla

these e's are enigmas

10:14 am

hurshy

i only have 9 ex, that seems low

10:14 am

ChampFit

Same

10:15 am

hokie carla

I only have 6. I think I read there is a big one, but I sure can't find it.

10:15 am

hurshy

it's a normal word, ex9

10:15 am

hurshy

can clue if desired

10:16 am

hokie carla

normal for who?

10:16 am

ChampFit

Found another one. Added an E on a ex6

10:16 am

hokie carla

just found a 6/7 set

10:16 am

ChampFit

Hurshy, does it come off the 8?

10:16 am

rururocks

just finished the e's

10:17 am

hurshy

normal for anyone, unless they're like... really really uneducated

10:17 am

hurshy

i don't think so champ as i haven't got an ex8!

10:17 am

hokie carla

LOL

10:17 am

hokie carla

excellent, ruru

10:17 am

ChampFit

thx

10:18 am

hurshy

is the ex8 also normal?

10:18 am

rururocks

yes

10:18 am

rururocks

and the ex9 is too

10:18 am

hokie carla

apparently I need a clue for both

10:18 am

hokie carla

because I must be a moron

10:18 am

hurshy

ex9 = prove innocent, clear from all blame

10:19 am

hurshy

KNOWING a word and being able to find it in the grid are two totally different things

10:19 am

hokie carla

thanks

10:19 am

ChampFit

If you add to letters towards the end of the ex 6/36 you'll have it.

10:19 am

hokie carla

yep

10:19 am

ChampFit

two!

10:19 am

hurshy

thanks champ

10:20 am

hurshy

that's less normal than the 9

10:20 am

hokie carla

well, I already tried to make ex6/36 more so

10:20 am

hurshy

i suppose it's the opposite of es8 (not in grid)? people use es8 but not ex8 so much

10:21 am

hokie carla

ah, thanks hursh. that cleared it up. I read "towards the end" as on the end

10:21 am

hokie carla

hey, I grayed another tile finally!

10:21 am

hurshy

:)

10:21 am

ChampFit

winning!

10:22 am

hokie carla

any guesses on my 2 upper o's?

10:22 am

hurshy

on7 and on5

10:22 am

hurshy

or maybe ox5 and 6 pair

10:22 am

hokie carla

I have on5/12 but no 7

10:22 am

BzznBea

heavy beast minders

10:23 am

hokie carla

no, have the ox set

10:23 am

hurshy

on7 is one version of the cranky/prickly word

10:23 am

hokie carla

that on7 is almost on my nemesis list

10:23 am

ChampFit

That's what I needed...ha!

10:23 am

hokie carla

and I thought it was a phantom because I was only looking one direction

10:23 am

hurshy

ot4

10:23 am

ChampFit

Agree about the on...

10:24 am

hokie carla

that's it, not sure how missed it other than wasn't looking that way

10:24 am

hurshy

10:33 am

penquis

10:33 am

hokie carla

10:33 am

hokie carla

hurshy

11:04 am

11:05 am

BzznBea

that s on the left caused me grief all day

12:28 pm

hurshy

but how many? i have 8 re8

12:29 pm

hokie carla

I've already done it but today's grid is the kind to scan through your list and just try all options, without looking at the grid.

12:29 pm

rururocks

8 re 8

12:29 pm

hokie carla

me too, ruru

12:29 pm

hurshy

ok so mine is NOT an 8

12:30 pm

hokie carla

I think it's the french one if you are cluing in order

12:32 pm

hurshy

if you didn't know what the frenchy one meant you might think it were landlords

12:33 pm

hokie carla

ah, that's my 2 there. so now my other R is not an RE

12:33 pm

hurshy
