needle case alert!

12:01 am

SamanthaJoy

12:03 am

SamanthaJoy

. . . . Do I have a wrong idea of that needle case is? There's no U.

12:04 am

justafreep

alternate spelling

12:05 am

Rainiqui

alternate spelling

12:05 am

SamanthaJoy

Huh. I"ll find it. Thanks!

12:05 am

justafreep

(which, no, you don't have a wrong idea cuz I bet it's never used outside of this grid)

12:05 am

SamanthaJoy

FOUND! Thanks y'all

12:17 am

licketySplitAUS

Clues are up

12:17 am

justafreep

thanks, lickety

12:18 am

harpjane

i think this is even harder than yesterday's

12:19 am

Gillie

so close to "between"

12:19 am

cybernan

yes - only one 6 and no 7's yet

12:20 am

justafreep

beclam should be a word.

12:20 am

Gillie

I've got de6, me6 x 2, and sa6

12:20 am

vashongin

do you have the de6?

12:22 am

Gillie

betweed: to dress for some genteel shooting

12:23 am

vashongin

no 6

12:24 am

dcseain

thanks, that got me all for N words.

12:25 am

cybernan

crashing here

12:25 am

dcseain

sleep well, nan

12:25 am

justafreep

night, nan

12:26 am

cybernan

ty - good night

12:32 am

Gillie

bewarm also not a word - not that I'm claiming I'd use it

12:40 am

Gillie

Ooh - ci7

12:40 am

justafreep

it bewarms me when I am afrit, as I often say

12:41 am

justafreep

thanks for that gillie

12:42 am

Gillie

It bewarms you when you are "a powerful evil demon or monster"?

12:42 am

Gillie

I think this is the first time I've looked up "afrit" - maybe it has another meaning

12:43 am

justafreep

I have no idea

12:43 am

justafreep

it just sounded right. I just looked it up and it makes no sense as I used it.

12:44 am

Gillie

Yeah - I always assumed "afrit" meant something like "afraid"

12:44 am

justafreep

archaic Scottish for afraid would work, ya

12:45 am

SamanthaJoy

There's the Arabic transliteration and then there's the Scottish Gaelic definition.

12:45 am

SamanthaJoy

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

12:46 am

justafreep

Your story bewarms me

12:48 am

Gillie

I didn't know the ci6 either, but I guess it's another word for a bug that's having a big year

12:48 am

SamanthaJoy

I was just horrified the other day when I found that "tagine" isn't an Enable word. I thought I'd inured myself to the terror, but no, sometimes I'm still shocked by their deficiencies.

12:51 am

Gillie

At least Babble now takes "spam", even if it still doesn't take "internet"

12:52 am

SamanthaJoy

Babble is just a matter of convincing Dr God.

That's (relatively) easy, even though he can't make any money off this site.

Enable, now . . .

12:56 am

SamanthaJoy

I have 30 words left. I'm tired. See y'all tomorrow. G'night.

12:56 am

Gillie

Squardle apparently has a committee to decide which words qualify as "normal" - but from the sound of it, it gets pretty contentious

12:56 am

Gillie

Night, Sam

12:57 am

Gillie

Retiring now with 9 left for tomorrow

4:49 am

Foxy62

Yay finished, on of the quickest I’ve done

7:36 am

MollyL

Really strange grid today

7:37 am

ac7 = ac + gin & t**** but replace the t with another consonant

7:47 am

Scrabbler

YW

7:57 am

MollyL

You can look up a word by the definition by doing a Google search on "crossword clue happening at sunset"

7:58 am

8:08 am

bichon

We wondered why we saw a few in the winter. Now, they're gone
