Book Doctor Gwen

an8 - srat with the concept of vervous (an** in tout pants) then expand that with an S in the middle then made a superlative

2:14 pm

4:42 pm

hurshy

?

4:42 pm

hurshy

maybe that is my last k

4:42 pm

cybernan

pl. a word that is already a pl.

4:43 pm

hurshy

idk if one of my fours is a plural and i just don't know it

4:43 pm

hurshy

other than the obvious plural

4:43 pm

cybernan

probably

4:43 pm

cybernan

it means cattle in the biblical sense

4:44 pm

hurshy

i've pluralized all my fours that i can

4:45 pm

hurshy

how funny that the C has both of the world's two most common pets

4:48 pm

hurshy

why are P words always the most difficult

4:49 pm

cybernan

I find k's and vowels the most difficult

4:49 pm

hurshy

well, i mean, K, sure, but we don't have K as often

4:49 pm

hurshy

we have P a high percentage of days

4:50 pm

cybernan

missing one from the bottom o -- no luck at all

4:50 pm

hurshy

same

4:50 pm

hurshy

have on4 and os4

4:51 pm

hurshy

oh duh my k was a longer plural that i forgot to try

4:51 pm

hurshy

that is good, now those are done

4:51 pm

cybernan

me too on the o

4:52 pm

hurshy

Rs Ransacked!

4:55 pm

hurshy

and down to 2 from each P!

4:58 pm

MollyL

Damn Hurshy, do you play all those games in your profile?

4:59 pm

hurshy

yes, except the ones the NYT cut off from non-subscribers a little while ago

4:59 pm

hurshy

and Set, which unfortunately has not worked in quite a while

4:59 pm

hurshy

but i have the physical card game of that anyway

5:00 pm

hurshy

some of them take less than a minute tho

5:01 pm

hurshy

babble is the best one though. the piece de resistance

5:24 pm

Kamanjah

Hursh, you can play Set at
https://smart-games.org/en/set/subm
it_set

5:24 pm

Kamanjah

take out the space in submit

5:31 pm

hurshy

thanks

5:32 pm

hurshy

interesting, it works like having the cards

5:32 pm

hurshy

the one on the company website used to just give you 12 cards a day and there were 6 sets to find in those cards, re-using the same cards in multiple sets

5:33 pm

Kamanjah

I used to play it all the time on NYT, so when it went away, I hunted down another one.

5:34 pm

hurshy

you don't happen to have that third O from the second row, do you Kam?

5:39 pm

cybernan

through the list and 6 left - any clues please?
os 7/32, cu 6/24 and en 7/28

5:39 pm

hurshy

oHO that will be that third O

5:40 pm

Kamanjah

That third o is os7 and I had never seen it before - had to use morewords.

5:40 pm

cybernan

found the en 7

5:40 pm

hurshy

cu is like a qu word that's like an adventure where you are seeking a certain treasure, plus a vowel

5:41 pm

cybernan

got the cu, ty hurshy

5:41 pm

Kamanjah

en7 is a muscle spasm

5:42 pm

cybernan

clue for the os, please?

5:42 pm

hurshy

think of a bird that sticks its head in the ground, and change the fifth and seventh letters

5:42 pm

Kamanjah

the definition is a fragment containing an inscription.

5:43 pm

hurshy

now i am down to 6! five of them are 6 letters long, too

5:43 pm

Kamanjah

Pretty good clue, Hursh.

5:43 pm

Kamanjah

I have 7 left.

5:43 pm

cybernan

ty hurshy

5:43 pm

hurshy

W S N P and two C

5:44 pm

cybernan

I need pe x3: pe 5/20-6/33 and another pe 6/33

5:44 pm

hurshy

old way of saying a certain chinese city name with a duck dish named after it

5:45 pm

cybernan

ty again

5:45 pm

hurshy

i guess that other 6/33 is my missing P

5:46 pm

cybernan

not sure if the 3rd letter is an n or an s

5:46 pm

hurshy

so it comes before the mexican coin?

5:47 pm

Lizlin

It's an s - I just looked it up because I'd been fighting with it for ages

5:48 pm

hurshy

thanks liz, got it!

5:49 pm

Lizlin

YW. And that's fireworks. Enjoy your day.

5:49 pm
