hokie carla

10:02 am

hurshy

10:02 am

hokie carla

wordlebot yelled at me for guessing a word that is valid but would never be the solution

10:02 am

hokie carla

beware

10:02 am

hokie carla

well, it has started out a beware day here

10:04 am

rururocks

10:06 am

rururocks

the o's weren't that bad

10:07 am

rururocks

speaking of mouthing

10:07 am

hokie carla

I respectfully disagree sir

10:08 am

rururocks

monica lewinski would have gotten them right away

10:09 am

hurshy

i think she has those ones ru

10:09 am

hurshy

it's the od words that are more ODd

10:11 am

hokie carla

ha, finally found the word in squaredle that I was spouting off here

10:12 am

hokie carla

ooh, made the top 500 in speed but will prob be pushed out soon

10:13 am

hokie carla

finally lightening up some outside. still pouring rain but the thunder/lightning has stopped

10:15 am

hurshy

keep wanting to make -est words

10:17 am

hokie carla

yep

10:18 am

hokie carla

I still have 3 tiles with a LOT of words left.

10:18 am

moolingwa

I'm on the third row :)

10:18 am

hokie carla

well, that's where 2 of my tiles are, so good luck

10:19 am

hurshy

fourth row grey!

10:19 am

hokie carla

still need 1 Y for that

10:19 am

hokie carla

not yeesh

10:20 am

moolingwa

still need every word for that :)

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

make that 2

10:23 am

hokie carla

winston has deemed it safe enough to get off the couch

10:23 am

hokie carla

how much snow did you get, moo?

10:26 am

hokie carla

now just need 8Ls

10:26 am

hurshy

i got 2 ly5s that we have sometimes

10:27 am

hokie carla

I have 4 ly

10:27 am

hurshy

oh then i need at least one more ly

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

10:29 am

hurshy

clue?

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?

10:38 am

rururocks

nope

10:39 am

hurshy

weird?

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

10:44 am

hurshy

oh lol

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

hurshy

oh i just found another sl5

10:58 am

hurshy

so now i am missing only 1 7 and 1 8

10:58 am

hokie carla

10-13-3-1-1

10:59 am

hurshy

7s i have: or x2, sh, te
8s i have: gr, si, ta, ti

10:59 am

hokie carla

yep

11:00 am

hokie carla

how is it lunchtime already??

11:00 am

hurshy

time flies when you're having fun

11:00 am

hurshy

is the reason i just pulled out of my box of stock proverbs for any occasion

11:01 am

hurshy

hooray i found a pair of weird G words!

11:02 am

hurshy

oh i forgot i was supposed to find a 5th ly, must get back to looking for that

11:03 am

hurshy

there are at least SIX, i just found a PAIR (french HS)

11:03 am

hokie carla

ok, gonna need a stat or something for that

11:03 am

hurshy

and i'm done with six letter words! wowee

11:03 am

hokie carla

don't do french

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

oh, found another scottish one

11:06 am

hurshy

now if i were to get that 7 and that 8 i would just have 3-7 left

11:07 am

rururocks

just g's to go here

11:07 am

periwinkle

hi all. help with the ta8/9 please

11:07 am

hurshy

are they a 7 and an 8? cause if not tell me what i am missing

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

fake

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!

11:12 am

hurshy

well FAKE is way too broad a term to actually help people get it, fake needn't be a person, could just be an object

11:12 am

moolingwa

hurshy

11:14 am

hurshy

your G words WERE a 7 and 8, weren't they ru?

11:14 am

hurshy

who woulda thought those would count

11:15 am

hurshy

did not know it had been made into a common noun

11:15 am

hokie carla

certainly not me

11:15 am

hokie carla

of course I have no idea

11:15 am

hurshy

Jesus lived in this G7 place, there's a sea of it

11:16 am

moolingwa

ah, I see it now

11:16 am

hokie carla

11:17 am

11:59 am

dcseain

12:02 pm

dcseain

12:05 pm

2:34 pm

ChampFit

Nan...ta8-9....black stuff+ Jay le4 + summer skin color and plural

2:50 pm

MollyL

Well, that's kind of a clue. Not sure about the Jay le4 part

2:51 pm

ChampFit

I never claimed to be a master cluer. In fact, I'm sure I suck at it! But I'm working and babbling and that's what you get.

2:51 pm

BzznBea

i would have clued itas rhymes with the dance of the 20's
