hokie carla

10:19 am
hokie carla

10:20 am
moolingwa

10:20 am
hurshy
the matchmaker
10:20 am
hokie carla
nope, have that one
10:20 am
hokie carla
'twas a plural
10:21 am
hurshy
when you say "a LOT of words left" like how many do you mean
10:21 am
hokie carla
prob entered it earlier and it didn't take
10:21 am
hokie carla
like 7G, 7T, 12L (but haven't looked at it again), 6S
10:22 am
hokie carla
just finished the A though
10:22 am
hokie carla
now just need 1D for 2nd col
10:22 am
hurshy
ooh good job, i need 4 A
10:23 am
hurshy

10:23 am
hokie carla

10:27 am
hokie carla
just found another
10:28 am
hurshy
not lycra :(
10:29 am
hokie carla
no, but I did try that. it is a proper noun but you never know here.
10:29 am
rururocks
oh wow a weird ti8
10:30 am
rururocks
a patio where people stand at an angle
10:30 am
hokie carla
found the od words, now just need that or7
10:30 am
hurshy
if you have one or7, the other makes sense going with it
10:30 am
hokie carla
hmm, if I only could think of another word for patio
10:31 am
hurshy
lanai doesn't seem to work
10:31 am
rururocks
think court
10:31 am
hokie carla
well yes, that was the clue I was given earlier for the or but nothing is working
10:31 am
hurshy
oh no, that's a JOUSTING word
10:32 am
hurshy
silly peeps, don't you watch medieval period piece stuff
10:32 am
hurshy
compound, hokie.
10:32 am
hokie carla
not don quixote related?
10:32 am
rururocks
hokie will likely feint before she finds it
10:33 am
hurshy
well i suppose you probably realized that already
10:33 am
moolingwa
50 to go
10:33 am
hokie carla
yes, I get that but can't get the 2nd part of it
10:33 am
hurshy
not a patio really just your back ____
10:33 am
hokie carla
porch? deck? lanai? none of these are there.
10:33 am
hurshy
NOT a patio
10:33 am
hokie carla
oh, what the brits call a garden.
10:33 am
Shirlockc
ti4 + y4
10:33 am
hurshy
just grass
10:34 am
hurshy
patio was misleading, ru
10:34 am
rururocks
i didn't want to say courtyard hursh
10:34 am
hokie carla
agree. but thanks, all.
10:35 am
hurshy
well i can understand that but
10:35 am
hokie carla
12-17-3-2-2-1
10:35 am
rururocks
um you got it right away
10:35 am
hurshy
place where people joust, ends with what you fence in so your dog can run around off leash, might work
10:35 am
hokie carla
yeah, but she's weird like that.
10:36 am
hurshy
well it helped that it was familiar to me, as a word
10:37 am
hurshy
i see ta8/9 was called at the flip so i'm lookin for THOSE
10:38 am
rururocks
just got those
10:38 am
hurshy
are they compound words also?
10:39 am
rururocks
we've had it before
10:39 am
rururocks
not a common word
10:39 am
hokie carla
pretty sure I know the answer to that
10:39 am
rururocks
rhymes with a fake
10:40 am
hokie carla
phantom stylist
10:41 am
hurshy
cut the end off that
10:41 am
hokie carla
have that already
10:41 am
hokie carla
just need 1 S there
10:41 am
hurshy
oh, oh well
10:42 am
hokie carla
still looking for that D
10:42 am
hurshy
moi aussi
10:43 am
hurshy
i found a dwarf!
10:43 am
hokie carla
yeah, those were the words mael & molly were talking about that took me forever to see (sl6 too)
10:44 am
rururocks
I have all the d's
10:44 am
hurshy
wordS? i only got one dwarf
10:44 am
hokie carla
I have one DO and the rest DR?
10:44 am
rururocks
all dr except one do
10:44 am
hokie carla
SL6 is not a dwarf but could have been
10:44 am
rururocks
oops a dy too
10:44 am
hurshy
ok if you know Gone with the Wind, the ta8 and 9 remind me of one of the families in that
10:45 am
hokie carla
ha, got that clue right away, thanks
10:45 am
hokie carla
oh, I have the DY too. so must be a DR.
10:45 am
hurshy
aha i missed the dr adverb
10:46 am
hokie carla
and I have the misspelled one
10:46 am
hurshy
top row grey!
10:46 am
hokie carla
aha, the adverb is it. 2nd col gray!
10:46 am
hurshy
it's not misspelled, it refers to no alcohol so it's like when you say hanged, it's not wrong for hung if it's an execution
10:49 am
hurshy
LWG said we can extend an sh5 for a 7 but i may not have the right 5...
10:49 am
hokie carla
finally just looked up that OR. was thinking all wrong on that.
10:52 am
hurshy
ok i did have the five but the extending was weirder than i anticipated
10:53 am
Shirlockc
i've been trying to extend the sl5, is it an adverb or something else for an extension?
10:53 am
hokie carla
I didn't see that but think I have those and pictured whatshername lecturing us on it when I found it.
10:54 am
hurshy
do you have reason to believe there is an sl7?
10:54 am
hurshy
i don't have an sl5
10:54 am
hokie carla
sl or sh, shirl?
10:54 am
Shirlockc
sorry, sh7
10:54 am
hurshy
other than a plural
10:55 am
hokie carla
I have one sl5 that is a plural
10:55 am
hurshy
it is not an adverb, it is something else
10:55 am
hurshy
hence the being weirder than i anticipated
10:55 am
hokie carla
the sh7 is a jewish slur that I had never heard of before babble but was apparently on all in the family a lot
10:56 am
hurshy
it's awful when you don't grow up in a racist environment, you fail to learn any slurs
10:56 am
Shirlockc
lol hurshy
10:56 am
hurshy
[note, that is a JOKE, hurshy is JOKING]
10:57 am

11:04 am
hurshy
well we have it reasonably often here
11:04 am
hurshy
it's like that chinese fruit, but without the H
11:05 am
hokie carla
oh, I have that set but thought it was an alt sp of the fruit
11:05 am
hurshy
yeah it's the french word for high school
11:06 am
hokie carla

11:07 am
hurshy

11:07 am
hurshy
or if they are then that is what i am missing
11:07 am
hurshy
ta8/9 reminded me of a family from Gone with the Wind
11:08 am
periwinkle
found them in my scrabble dictionary
11:08 am
hurshy
alternatively, ruru thought they appear to rhyme with a huckster, quack fraudulent conman type of person
11:10 am
hurshy
maybe i meant shyster more than huckster
11:11 am
rururocks
finished finally tough little grid really
11:12 am
hokie carla
well done. very tough one today. beware the ides of march!
