Deeha

when i was at school we had a whole school general knowledge quiz. One year a question was 'what was the residue left at the bottom of a pipe?' And it was do6. being a Dorothy that was what I was called for the rest of my time at schhol!!

6:06 am

Sugrraleona

I got the 6/10/11 combo, but can't fine the 9 LOL

6:07 am

Sugrraleona

nm, got it LOL

8:02 am

hurshy

gmornin

8:02 am

welki

hi, hursh

8:03 am

hurshy

you can't just say "cancer", there's so many kinds and they all have their own treatments, lol

8:04 am

hurshy

(referring back to dizgrannie's comment for la8)

8:23 am

hokie carla

ooh, found a 9

8:27 am

MollyL

I think the comment about la8 is correct, as that is a treatment for many kinds of cancer. The drug is supposed to reverse the damaging effects of cancerous cells.

8:28 am

hurshy

ah, well, i guess i must not have heard of this drug

8:28 am

hurshy

(i don't have the word, obvs)

8:34 am

rururocks

oh i found it thanks molly

8:41 am

hokie carla

I have no idea (shocker)

8:43 am

hokie carla

43 left after first pass. not the greatest.
7-9-13-7-3-2-1-1
so many big words left. this will be a tough one and probably a DNF.

8:46 am

hokie carla

I also have no idea on the pipe word

8:46 am

MollyL

It's some oddball Scot/Brit word. Never heard of it until today

8:47 am

hokie carla

how many points?

8:47 am

hokie carla

found it

8:47 am

MollyL

21

8:48 am

MollyL

And sorry, it's origin is French

8:48 am

hokie carla

but still need 1 D

8:48 am

hokie carla

scot word is almost always a safe assumption

8:48 am

MollyL

And our favorite, Middle English

8:49 am

hokie carla

which I assume = anything "archaic"

8:49 am

MollyL

Do you have the 7/32

8:49 am

hokie carla

no. of course not.

8:50 am

MollyL

It is a bird, very similar to the 6

8:50 am

hokie carla

I might need another nudge

8:50 am

hokie carla

oh, you did

8:52 am

hokie carla

thanks. looked it up.

8:53 am

rururocks

well I guess my missing 9 and 10 and 11 are s's

8:54 am

ChampFit

Yes, they are.

8:56 am

MollyL

You don't have to guess, just read the flip. They blurt everything 😊

8:59 am

mael

good morning

9:04 am

rururocks

oh got them..

9:05 am

mael

I started at 4am on and off and still have 56 left, hah

9:05 am

rururocks

once you find them you can just cruise through the big words

9:08 am

mael

just found a weird tr8

9:09 am

mael

by doing just that

9:12 am

ChampFit

That

9:13 am

ChampFit

Ooops....I'm not a fisherperson, but I knew that one.

9:13 am

MollyL

Mael obviously doesn't fish

9:13 am

mael

only fishing I do is for compliments

9:13 am

MollyL

Look at Champ, being all politically correct with fisherperson

9:14 am

ChampFit

For once. A day to remember!

9:15 am

MollyL

You deal with the public. I guess you have to be in tune with all that stuff.

9:16 am

ChampFit

Truth.

9:16 am

MollyL

I still trip all over the they/them pronouns. I just call people by their name, it's easier.

9:17 am

ChampFit

Yep. I'll screw it up.

9:21 am

hokie carla

which T is that from? need 1 and 2

9:22 am

mael

top left

9:25 am

hokie carla

I guess I don't know fishing either

9:26 am

ChampFit

Do you want a hint?

9:27 am

mael

add the straight ending :)

9:28 am

ChampFit

That ending gets a lot of play today.

9:28 am

hokie carla

got it, thanks

9:28 am

hokie carla

9:29 am

hokie carla

9:29 am

hokie carla

phantom liege

9:30 am

ChampFit

agree!

9:30 am

hokie carla

I heard seinfeld is 70 today. man I feel old.

9:31 am

ChampFit

he looks pretty darn good for 70.

9:31 am

hokie carla

yep

9:33 am

hokie carla

LOL, was just wanting to look up something on dick's sporting goods and almost typed dicks.com before I thought better.

9:33 am

mael

lol

9:34 am

ChampFit

That could come back on ya...good move!

9:34 am

MollyL

You would have gotten some interesting "hits"

9:37 am

hokie carla

yeah, so interesting

9:39 am

ChampFit

FW! Hagd everyone.

9:40 am

hokie carla

well done

9:46 am

hokie carla

you can have a hemline but not a seamline

9:46 am

hokie carla

swae

9:46 am

hokie carla

oops

9:50 am

hokie carla

oh no, just finished the 4s

9:51 am

mael

9:51 am

hokie carla

0-5-7-4-2-2-1-1

9:52 am

hokie carla

but I did find waldo

9:53 am

MollyL

He wasn't hiding very well. Bet you didn't find Carmen San Diego

9:54 am

hokie carla

true

10:07 am

MollyL

Where is Peri? There is gin in the grid for her.

10:23 am

mael

FW!

10:23 am

dcseain

yay, mael!

10:51 am

java2

10:52 am

java2

stern

10:52 am

java2

Sorry!

11:04 am

MollyL

Award from Cannes?

11:05 am

MollyL

Oh, that would need an '

11:06 am

java2

Yup!

11:07 am

MollyL

I don't really follow the Cannes Film Festival

11:08 am

java2

I don't either, but that one just stands out for me.

11:09 am

java2

Perhaps because of the name

11:27 am

MollyL

Doren missed her tiara day

11:53 am

hurshy

should i be seeing the top E?

11:54 am

nrkii

it's pretty huge

11:54 am

hurshy

ah thanks nrkii

11:59 am

harpjane

my first word is a birdie@

12:02 pm

harpjane

stats for the N please?

12:03 pm

hurshy

no4 and 6, related

12:03 pm

hurshy

not weird

12:03 pm

BzznBea

no4 and no6

12:04 pm

harpjane

what an ordinary word....ty

12:14 pm

BzznBea

namaste

12:23 pm

hurshy

is the tr8 from the corner T or the right-hand T?

12:25 pm

pabtrek

Corner T.

12:25 pm

hurshy

thanks!

12:27 pm

hurshy

and is it correct that there is a wa8 in addition to a wa9?

12:27 pm

pabtrek

I only have a wa9, but I still have 42 words to find.

12:27 pm

hurshy

ah

12:28 pm

MollyL

wa8 not related to the wa9

12:29 pm

SamanthaJoy

I have no 8s or 9s but I got here, like, a minute and a half ago. Good afternoon y'all

12:30 pm

hurshy

ok thanks molly

12:32 pm

hurshy

phew, wouldn't have gotten THAT without morewords

12:32 pm

hurshy

is that like... rich snooty people's trash doesn't go to the junkyard, it goes to a wa8?

12:58 pm

MollyL

Just another Scot word that we are all supposed to know. How, I'm not sure.

1:25 pm

hydra

Why is realtor not allowed?

1:26 pm

MollyL

It is a trademarked word.

1:27 pm

hydra

I thought a realtor was someone who sold houses, like an estate agent in the UK.

1:27 pm

MollyL

It is. It is still a trademarked word. Nationa Association of Realtors owns the trademark.

1:28 pm

MollyL

*National

1:28 pm

hydra

Yet when I checked the spelling and definition, it started with a lower case r.

1:29 pm

MollyL

Estate agent? That is kind of funny since I'm sure everything they sell is not an "estate"

1:30 pm

MollyL

If you do a Google search for realtor you will see it printed in all caps and the trademark symbol behind it in all entries

2:06 pm

lbuxx

2:16 pm

mkg

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

4:13 pm

hurshy

(which was a 6, a plural)

4:15 pm

hurshy

4:16 pm

hurshy

4:36 pm

hurshy

4:38 pm

hurshy

i do not!

4:39 pm

hurshy

4:39 pm

hurshy

thank you!

4:40 pm

Gillie

yw - I guess there's also a third st7 which I haven't found yet

4:41 pm

hurshy

yeah i just got the list so now i got that

4:41 pm

hurshy

and the last one is a wa7, alt sp of the 8 i guess

4:42 pm

Gillie

Just got it - kind of like a Hollywood actress

4:44 pm

hurshy

yep

4:46 pm

Gillie

And wa7 is a slightly compacted version of the wa8 before it - that's all the 7's for me

4:46 pm

Gillie

(I needed MoreWords for the wa8 and wa7.)

4:50 pm

Gillie

And now I've tidied up the rest - last word ta5/18

5:25 pm

poor richard

OK, I give. Clue for the st 11, please.

5:26 pm

ch1212

It's the person who does the st10 if that helps - just add a consonant to the 10

5:30 pm

ch1212

Let me know if you need a clue for the 10 :)

5:30 pm

poor richard

Thanks, ch 1212, but I don't even have the st 10. Can you give me some help?

5:32 pm

ch1212

Yes. First 6 letters are the word that means creek or liquid flow (st6/21) from there add a four letter geometry word, straight ****

5:33 pm

ch1212

The definition is to pare something down, make it more efficient.

5:40 pm

poor richard

Thanks, ch1212. Got 'em. Feeling pretty stupid here. 🤨

5:41 pm

ch1212

we've all been there. Me, I have even struggled mightily over a simple 4 letter word.

5:44 pm

ch1212

that's fw for me. Good luck all!
