7:26 am

MollyL

A challenge? With 49 words in the grid?

7:34 am

mael

FW!

7:34 am

mael

that was fast

7:45 am

Foxy62

I’m fairly new and I still find this challenge hard. Eventually when I learn new words and strategy I will complete more puzzles.

7:48 am

MollyL

Be patient. There are a lot of ridiculous words in these grids and it can get frustrating trying to find them.

7:50 am

sukee

I really think derp should be accepted 😀

8:02 am

MollyL

Never heard of derp. Sounds like a "twitter word"

8:04 am

sukee

It is a word

8:06 am

sukee

It’s even in the OED

8:06 am

sukee

8 to go

8:20 am

Foxy62

Yay finish, one of a few I have completed

8:27 am

Shirlockc

i'm so stuck on Wordle

8:37 am

hurshy

what... aspect... of it is troubling you, shirl?

8:37 am

Shirlockc

i'm on the 5th guess and i have no clue

8:38 am

Shirlockc

or rather, i have 3 letters in the right place but have no idea what that word could be

8:38 am

BzznBea

hello friends

8:39 am

BzznBea

egal

8:39 am

BzznBea

carp

8:39 am

BzznBea

nevermind

8:43 am

mkg

Hi bea

8:45 am

hurshy

there may have been a subtle clue contained in my question, shirl

8:47 am

MollyL

Not really that subtle.

8:47 am

hurshy

well if she didn't notice it then it was subtle to her...

8:48 am

BzznBea

guess ill look at wordle today

8:48 am

Shirlockc

a clue, thx hurshy, i'll continue to think ...

8:49 am

Shirlockc

i swear sometimes it's the little things that really trip me up

8:54 am

MollyL

Don't feel back Shirlock. I struggled with that word as well.

9:02 am

BzznBea

not easy doing this in the car

9:04 am

rururocks

how'd the clothes horse do on the shopping trip bea?

9:05 am

BzznBea

he did okay. two new pair of pants that were made in this century

9:05 am

BzznBea

and they are stretchy

9:05 am

BzznBea

lol

9:13 am

BzznBea

please send good vibes to mr. bea. he is high anxiety right now. hoping when we get friends and family around he will calm down.

9:14 am

BzznBea

see you all from STL tomorrow.

9:14 am

BzznBea

namaste

9:35 am

rururocks

high anxiety why?

9:36 am

UntitledDocument

Just got here, wanted to say - congrats Foxy! I've been around for a little while but I also rarely finish grids, mostly because I don't have the time for the large ones, and it's so satisfying to finally finish one!

9:39 am

MollyL

Now all I can think about is the Mel Brooks film

10:16 am

Shirlockc

OMG, i finally got the wordle, thx for the clue hurshy lol

10:22 am

moolingwa

morning all

10:28 am

MollyL

It's good you got that...aspect...

10:41 am

Zadit

my last 2 are the la7/8 combo......any hints? TIA

10:43 am

Shirlockc

similar to the 6/8 combo, add a letter

10:48 am

MollyL

6/7 combination

11:32 am

markbowers7

yay, fireworks!

11:53 am

Shirlockc

11:54 am

Zadit

Fireworks! Thank you shirlocke and Molly

11:54 am

MollyL

Really? That's incredible!

12:16 pm

dcseain

and firewords!

12:16 pm

dcseain

I guess I should go run errands now.

12:40 pm

hurshy

phantom: planner

12:43 pm

hurshy

why am i having so much trouble with my last word, when it's only a G4??

12:46 pm

hurshy

ah, got it at last

12:46 pm

MollyL

I would guess it is either a weird vowel combination or a weird consonant combination

12:46 pm

Sophie512

silent g?

12:46 pm

Sophie512

gnat

12:46 pm

hurshy

it was the weird vowel combo

12:47 pm

hurshy

the first ga4

12:47 pm

Sophie512

oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I am so sorry

12:49 pm

MollyL

Try not to post a long string of letters like that.
It sometimes blows the chat width.

12:49 pm

Sophie512

I need to ONLY read the chat. Never comment!

1:01 pm

hokie carla

rehowdy. back for my last 2.

1:03 pm

hokie carla

I have one E and one G, one 4 and one 6.

1:10 pm

hokie carla

stuck here and in wordle

1:16 pm

Sophie512

there are clues for the g below

1:17 pm

hokie carla

I have both of those g4's

1:27 pm

hokie carla

well, I've obviously hit babble blindness and will never see them

1:39 pm

MollyL

ga6 sea bird?

1:39 pm

MollyL

Not the male goose

1:40 pm

hokie carla

ha, just read the chat and bea was kind enough to put my E in it. E4. so G6 is the last one.

1:41 pm

hokie carla

this must be a sea bird I don't know

1:42 pm

MollyL

Sounds like the female in the Jackson family

1:43 pm

hokie carla

ah, thanks

1:46 pm

MollyL

A NFN (Not For Nan) clue

1:47 pm

hokie carla

haha, so true

1:49 pm

hokie carla

also, just want to add there's more than one female, so not Latoya for anyone reading this.

1:55 pm

MollyL

Well, since LaToya doesn't start with a letter that sounds like G, I figured I was safe

1:56 pm

wingding

it closely resembles the old newspaper companies name, if i recall, it was national

1:56 pm

MollyL

But with this group, you never know. Could get a "hmmm, LaToya is not in the grid" 🤣

1:59 pm

wingding

of all words to try, and i thought it'd been in the dictionary, any car ppl here ? PRNDL

2:01 pm

MollyL

It's the gear shift but that is not a word

2:31 pm

hokie carla

yet AWOL and JATO and ELHI are all words

2:34 pm

wingding

go figure ... it's in all the car magazines and even books

2:35 pm

hokie carla

QWERTY is also a word on Enable

2:35 pm

wingding

guess webster doesn't recognize car abbreviations

2:36 pm

hokie carla

they probably have added it, but this game uses the Enable Word List

2:38 pm

hokie carla

it's a free word list so a lot of online games use it. hasn't been updated since the early 2000s, and I think this game uses an older version.

2:40 pm

hokie carla

well, according to this, first one in 1997 and then revised in 2000. I guess they gave up after that.

3:08 pm

wingding

PRNDL has been used since the advent of the automatic transmission .. i believe the the first was an oldsmobile in the early '50s ... where as pontiac, was PNDLR

3:43 pm

MollyL

Enable recognizes some acronyms and not others. Rules of the game.

3:53 pm

hoyamd

FW only needed lickety for one word! woot!

4:36 pm

dpomfr

4:36 pm

dpomfr
