awesome, thanks Lickety. Morning babblers.

12:32 am

cybernan

not seeing the bottom r and e. Good night :)

12:32 am

gremlinn

since there are no rg- or rl- words, it has to be re-

12:32 am

gremlinn

and since the fourth row R has precedence, it has to be used in the bottom right re- words

12:33 am

Gillie

12:33 am

sprite

left bottom R might be Ra too

12:33 am

cybernan

12:43 am

there is no logic in enable. Naan but no paneer, chat but no internet, and that's just the beginning

12:45 am

gremlinn

English not always being logical, evidently.

12:46 am

gremlinn

that's what it stands for

12:46 am

sprite

I think english is the most illogical language ever. Of all the ones I know, for sure. Very organic, very inclusive, taking from all kinds of languages and making it into a lovely whole. Best language ever.

12:09 pm

penquis

i lived 22 years a good hour away from a movie theater...

12:10 pm

hokie carla

it's an animal that is a hybrid of 2, one of the pa7 is also in the grid. the other word for it is a tigon, and it depends on which is the mother and which is the father on what word you use.

12:11 pm

penquis

hokie carla

12:36 pm

hokie carla

I know you are saying coating

12:36 pm

hurshy

no, if you do a wood floor, it's inlaid, cause it's at the same level

12:36 pm

hurshy

but if it's a coating, it's not in, it's on

12:47 pm

hurshy

12:52 pm

ChampFit

Of course I still need 3

12:52 pm

ChampFit

1:44 pm

ChampFit

Ha!!!!!!! I meant "mess around"...

1:44 pm

Atalante

:D

1:44 pm

Atalante

I was hoping that was the case!

1:44 pm

ChampFit

Are you just starting?

1:45 pm

Atalante

well I was going to, but I saw 399 words

1:45 pm

ChampFit

Yes, just getting started was a thing. All those eses.

1:46 pm

Atalante

and re- I expect

1:47 pm

ChampFit

The R's aren't hard. S, C, H, P are the hard ones.

1:48 pm

Atalante

54 P!

1:48 pm

ChampFit

I still need 10...real pain in the butt!

1:49 pm

Atalante

I suppose I might at well look for a few words!

1:49 pm

ChampFit

Just start typing...a ton will leap out at you.

1:52 pm

Atalante

its actually quite nice knowing you won't get anywhere near the end. can just find words and then give up :D

1:52 pm

ChampFit

That's the spirit!

1:58 pm

Atalante

100 words!

1:59 pm

ChampFit

wooHOO!!!!!!!!!!

2:10 pm

ChampFit

Taking a break. BBL for last 55. Good luck!

American Ligon?

3:13 pm

periwinkle

help with pra or pa8 please

3:21 pm

Gillie

pa8 starts with the preceding pa5, and otherwise looks similar to a word for an exceptional person

3:21 pm

Gillie

it's a weird word

3:23 pm

Gillie

ending is the same as a lot of different words for geometric shapes with straight sides

3:23 pm

periwinkle

no idea. don't know if I have the right pa5

3:24 pm

BzznBea

one who uses a knife

3:24 pm

periwinkle

ty Bea will look

3:25 pm

periwinkle

ty Bea and Gillie, new word for me

3:26 pm

periwinkle

pr8 is my last 8

3:27 pm

Gillie

pr8 is to put a law into effect beforehand, I guess?

3:28 pm

periwinkle

good clue, ty Gillie

3:28 pm

BzznBea

Thanks, Gillie. Been all around that today.

3:31 pm

cybernan

hi everyone. Thanks for pa 8, don't see a five letter word for putting a law into effect. Only word i can think of is legislate

3:31 pm

BzznBea

five letter word is one who uses a knife

3:31 pm

cybernan

and I don't believe that people don't re ir 4 things.

3:31 pm

periwinkle

I don't either nan

3:32 pm

hokie carla

that's the pr8

3:32 pm

cybernan

have the pa 8 b -- talking about the clue for the pr

3:32 pm

hokie carla

there's a re7 here that people do in US to recreate battles

3:32 pm

hokie carla

add a p to that

3:32 pm

cybernan

retrump?

3:33 pm

BzznBea

The five letter word has nothing to do with the pa8

3:33 pm

BzznBea

No the pr8

3:33 pm

hokie carla

I'm talking about like US civil war and american revolution

3:33 pm

cybernan

I know - just saying that I don't see anything that fits the bill for the pr

3:34 pm

hokie carla

okay, that's why I gave a different clue

3:34 pm

periwinkle

do you have en5/12 nan

3:34 pm

cybernan

a 2-fer -- ty carla

3:36 pm

hokie carla

thanks for the pa8. now 11-14-24-16

3:47 pm

cybernan

just found a ca 6-7 that I thought was a proper noun, but tried it anyway - surprise:)

3:47 pm

hokie carla

don't think I have that

3:48 pm

cybernan

want a clue?

3:48 pm

hokie carla

author? I see now.

3:48 pm

cybernan

3:48 pm

hokie carla

we've had that many times and yet I'm always surprised

3:49 pm

hokie carla

still 4 C's left

3:49 pm

hokie carla

among other things

3:50 pm

cybernan

still have 168 left, so not even close, but my stomach is grumbling, so going to find something to eat.

3:57 pm

hokie carla

I'm now entering words that I think I just saw and it says I already entered it. Looked too long today I reckon.

3:58 pm

hurshy

yep that can happen with big grids

4:01 pm

hurshy

woohoo, Ns Nailed!

4:05 pm

hurshy

4:07 pm

hurshy

phantom: carrot

4:08 pm

hokie carla

oh, I still need 3 N

4:08 pm

hokie carla

but I have all the 8s now

4:08 pm

hurshy

did you get the babblets, ne5 and 6

4:08 pm

hokie carla

nope, thanks. got them.

4:09 pm

hurshy

did you add a sometimes vowel to the second no4

4:09 pm

hokie carla

yes

4:10 pm

hurshy

did you get the one that rhymes with a very skinny tie?

4:10 pm

hokie carla

yep

4:10 pm

hurshy

everything else is very standard babble fare

4:12 pm

hokie carla

I have one 6 and the rest are 4s and 5s

4:12 pm

hurshy

yeah that's all there is

4:12 pm

hokie carla

4:13 pm

hokie carla

4:14 pm

hokie carla

4:19 pm

hurshy

4:20 pm

penquis

hello again...

4:20 pm

hokie carla

yes, it's weird

4:20 pm

hokie carla

pen!

4:20 pm

penquis

carla!

4:20 pm

hurshy

clue?

4:21 pm

hokie carla

it means like an ornamental accessory but I've never seen it before. reminds me of a pa7 (not in grid) that means the model of excellence.

4:23 pm

hurshy

well i can think of the 7 you mean

4:23 pm

hokie carla

like a pa7 of virtue

4:23 pm

hurshy

but my efforts to alter it for an 8 are thus far unsuccessful

4:23 pm

penquis

not helping me... :o(

4:24 pm

hokie carla

ok, use same ending

4:24 pm

hurshy

got it!

4:24 pm

hurshy

thanks

4:24 pm

hokie carla

for first part, pretend someone with an accent is saying that

4:24 pm

hokie carla

(like I sometimes hear british people saying words)

4:26 pm

hokie carla

maybe hurshy can come up with a better one, pen

4:26 pm

hokie carla

use the knife word

4:26 pm

penquis

found it...ty....

4:28 pm

hurshy

how about LO8? is that also weird?

4:28 pm

penquis

no...

4:28 pm

hokie carla

no

4:28 pm

hurshy

i wanted it to be lonelier

4:28 pm

hokie carla

it goes in a backward circle

4:28 pm

hokie carla

kind of a male slut if you will

4:29 pm

penquis

lonely women might fall for one...

4:32 pm

hurshy

aha, got it at last

4:34 pm

hokie carla

4:34 pm

hokie carla

4:34 pm

hokie carla

4:36 pm

hurshy

4:36 pm

penquis

a before word with a regular word....not a word that is used...

4:36 pm

penquis

before prefix....

4:38 pm

hurshy

does it go with a 7, we add an S? or all by itself?

4:38 pm

penquis

prefix and then a five...

4:42 pm

hokie carla

P + re7

4:43 pm

hurshy

well i think i also need that re7 then cause i only have 2 and that didn't work with either of them

4:43 pm

penquis

the last part is to let a law become active....

4:44 pm

penquis

that is the five letter word at the end...

4:44 pm

hurshy

ahhh thanks

4:45 pm

hurshy

4:53 pm

4:55 pm

penquis

what's the other one?

4:56 pm

hokie carla

4:56 pm

cybernan

so what is the other one carla - re 6?

4:56 pm

penquis

4:56 pm

penquis

4:56 pm

hokie carla

okay, re6/18 and ra5/10

4:56 pm

ty...

4:56 pm

cybernan

that is actually a word?

4:57 pm

hokie carla

yeah, not sure I'd use it

4:57 pm

cybernan

I think in English one would say more to the re4

4:57 pm

hokie carla

maybe it's someone who raises kids

4:58 pm

cybernan

and found my missing e from the bottom

4:58 pm

hokie carla
