rehi - I feel smart then if I had the same number left as moo after first pass 😜

11:09 am

11:09 am

moolingwa

I like making people feel smart

11:09 am

moolingwa

nah, still 19 left

11:10 am

hokie carla

I guess it's better than making people feel stupid

11:10 am

moolingwa

for sure

11:12 am

hurshy

i was referring to ki6

11:12 am

hurshy

<---

11:12 am

moolingwa

well there's a random statement :)

11:12 am

hokie carla

agreed

11:12 am

hokie carla

must've missedsomething

11:13 am

hurshy

i do also love tea but as it is 3 letters and they are common letters that shows up in the grid too often to comment on

11:13 am

SamanthaJoy

lol I kinda figured, hokie

11:13 am

hokie carla

I haveto get my keyboard cleaned, this is so annoying

11:13 am

SamanthaJoy

but tea was a great option too

11:13 am

hurshy

earlier i said one of my favorite things is in the grid, and samantha joy was trying to figure out what word i meant

11:13 am

hokie carla

ah

11:13 am

hokie carla

sadly that's not my missing K

11:13 am

hurshy

ki6s ki6s ki6s

11:13 am

moolingwa

Yeah, some of those other things would be odd favorites

11:14 am

hurshy

i too am missing one K

11:14 am

moolingwa

I have KOed the K's already

11:14 am

hurshy

can you HELP us mool?

11:14 am

hokie carla

maybe she likes KITT from knight rider

11:14 am

hurshy

mine are all pairs except for the ki6 just mentioned

11:14 am

moolingwa

oh yeah, I know it's Knight Industries something...maybe Talking Toaster?

11:14 am

hokie carla

there's another ki6 alt sp pl

11:14 am

hurshy

i never watched Knight Rider :(

11:15 am

hokie carla

but not my missing one

11:15 am

hurshy

i wouldn't mind a talking toaster, depending on what its voice sounded like and what it would say

11:15 am

moolingwa

maybe it would ramble on if you didn't use it

11:16 am

hurshy

OH DUH

11:16 am

hurshy

it is a 4 that is a plural

11:16 am

hokie carla

that's what I just told you

11:16 am

hurshy

now i am done with 4s as well as Ks

11:16 am

SamanthaJoy

Maybe it would make snide remarks about carb consumption

11:16 am

hokie carla

but I still need one

11:16 am

SamanthaJoy

Maybe it would make snide remarks about carb consumption

11:16 am

moolingwa

oh yeah...or maybe double entendres....like check out my muffins...or would you like a bit of crumpet

11:17 am

hurshy

no hokie, you told me about a 6 that was a plural

11:17 am

hokie carla

well I think I know what you're getting it

11:17 am

hurshy

this one is a 4, very normal word

11:17 am

hokie carla

getting at

11:17 am

hurshy

so there are 3 pairs, and ki4 and ki6

11:17 am

hurshy

and that's all of them

11:17 am

moolingwa

2-3-4-4-2

11:18 am

hokie carla

so no ke like I thought sj and moo were saying?

11:18 am

hurshy

so if you have the 4 i was missing you are missing part of a pair

11:18 am

hurshy

zero KE words

11:18 am

BzznBea

0-2-3-3-1

11:18 am

hokie carla

oh, was missing the 5. thought the 6 was an alt sp but it was a pl of a different root.

11:20 am

hurshy

missing 2 upper N and one lower

11:21 am

hokie carla

I need 2 from each

11:21 am

moolingwa

11:21 am

moolingwa

and 5th column greyed

11:21 am

hurshy

11:23 am

hurshy

11:24 am

moolingwa

I'm at 91.6% it appears

11:24 am

hokie carla

yep

11:24 am

hokie carla

oh, it was he6. had to look in the other direction

11:24 am

hokie carla

present tense

11:24 am

hurshy

safe place ha5, perfect place he6

11:24 am

moolingwa

yeah, that might be the same one as my last h was

11:24 am

hurshy

yeah, that was my other last one

11:25 am

hokie carla

but of course I had the e5

11:25 am

moolingwa

yeah, me too

11:25 am

hurshy

that's different, looking from the right E

11:26 am

hokie carla

11:26 am

hokie carla

9:25 pm

licketySplitAUS

Hey Everyone - I'm having to make some changes to the location of the clues as my free trial on google cloud ran out and I'm going to have to pay $30 a month. I think I've got another solution ready - but need to test it in live. If there is issues over the next little while - this is why. I will be testing soon

9:26 pm

o2baflyndog

Thank you, Lickety!

9:27 pm

mich_pdx

thanks for letting us know, Lickety. I'm willing to chip in for the expense. Maybe a 1.50/month? If a bunch of us do it, you'd be covered?

9:30 pm

grannyrose

yes Lickety. I'd be willing to chip in too if that's a help.

9:38 pm

licketySplitAUS

No it's ok - I've found a way to do it for free and I'm hoping it'll be a little bit quicker to refresh etc

9:38 pm

mich_pdx

that's great news. Your list is so very appreciated!!!

9:39 pm

licketySplitAUS

Actually - maybe some of you could test. I've updated something - you will be seeing the new version if the title says : lickety's Babble Clues ~ and after the flip it should say lickety's Babble Clues 2025

9:40 pm

licketySplitAUS

Sorry - the new one should show : lickety's Babble Clues ~N1

9:49 pm

licketySplitAUS

I'm seeing a message about some parts of the website might not be secure. Not sure exactly what is causing this - but you might just have to hit Yes and then it will continue ok

9:51 pm

licketySplitAUS

I think I can fix this error message but I might have to wait a few days while everyone gets the new page

11:58 pm

granadan

Mine says licketys babble clues -N1 and loads immediately if thats any use.
