It helps to be a D&D player or a fantasy fan in general to get the WY - it's a fantasy monster

4:18 am

Deeha

think it was a heraldic one before fantasy was invented""

4:31 am

mattygroves

You're probably right!

4:35 am

FrenchToast

GM babblers!

hokie carla

almost almond

8:07 am

rururocks

there's a 9 that builds from that though

8:09 am

hokie carla

I'll take your word for it

8:10 am

saanichcat

8:14 am

mael

my fantasy knowledge just came in handy for the Ws

8:14 am

hokie carla

hmm

8:14 am

hokie carla

WR or something else? and I assume it's a set.

8:15 am

rururocks

what kind of fantasies?

8:15 am

hokie carla

lol

8:15 am

mael

well if you read any of the dragonriders series as a teen probably both

8:16 am

mael

wy6/45 and plural

8:16 am

saanichcat

thanks mael for the mythical clue

8:17 am

mael

you're welcome :)

8:17 am

rururocks

I was hoping for something more risque

8:18 am

mael

there were plenty of risque books but that is not where I learned wy6 lol :)

8:19 am

mael

actually I might have just straight up gotten it from D&D

8:19 am

hokie carla

well, I'm unfamiliar but that was enough to get it, thanks

8:20 am

hokie carla

but still nowhere near to graying that row

8:21 am

mael

I just started, can't help much more yet!

8:22 am

hokie carla

on the V now and very skeptical of ruru's earlier claim

8:22 am

rururocks

second row grey

8:23 am

mael

I've got 11 Vs so far

8:24 am

hokie carla

mael

you're a speed demon

8:34 am

hokie carla

8:34 am

hokie carla

but I remembered ot6 today so I've got that going for it

8:35 am

hokie carla

for me

8:38 am

rururocks

finally found that s

8:39 am

hokie carla

I'm just trying to find another bottom N for HOET 'cause I gots things to do

8:42 am

hokie carla

9:01 am

mael

9:02 am

mael

9:04 am

mael

FW, monkeyed it!

9:04 am

mael

have a great day everyone

9:05 am

mattygroves

Can you give me a nudge on that AL9 before you go, please?

9:10 am

ChampFit

Back to whittle some down. Feeling very babble-blind today. Took me forever to get that bottom corner N.

9:11 am

hokie carla

ok, how bout a little help on that? :D

9:11 am

hokie carla

and hi champ, sophie, and matty. rehi anyone from earlier.

9:11 am

ChampFit

no6/18 and 7/28.

9:12 am

momof5

Just randomly got the a 8/9

9:12 am

bookwomen

I think my n is m4 of sound

9:13 am

ChampFit

Different 3rd letter...

9:14 am

ChampFit

oooh...remembered a random so5!

9:14 am

hokie carla

I got that one too and felt the same. LOL. it's the little things...

9:14 am

mattygroves

Hi Hokie (waves)

9:15 am

ChampFit

Seriously! I was similarly blind to the Wordle today. Started at it off and on for hours before it hit me.

9:15 am

hokie carla

can you use the no6 in a sentence please?

9:15 am

hokie carla

nm

9:15 am

hokie carla

feel dumb as a sewist

9:16 am

hokie carla

and I was trying that ending with all kinds of stuff

9:16 am

hokie carla

ok, HOET and 72 left

9:17 am

ChampFit

I was trying to think of a sentence while you were typing! And yes...once again my inability to "go left" screwed me on that one.

9:18 am

hokie carla

left and up, the worst

9:18 am

hokie carla

a lot of times I would think the beach boys were singing "if everybody had a no6"

9:19 am

ChampFit

:)

9:20 am

ChampFit

Just remembered to plural my random so5. DUH.

9:21 am

hokie carla

ok, then we are talking about different so5 because mine does not. so5/16

9:22 am

ChampFit

I have a so5/16 that comes after the 4/7. And it plurals from the other S.

9:24 am

hokie carla

mine is before the couch

9:24 am

hokie carla

got yours, thanks

9:25 am

ChampFit

Woohoo! Also, keep going straight up to the top. I forgot that on my first pass.

9:26 am

hokie carla

5/20? I have that one

9:26 am

ChampFit

Of course you do! ;)

9:26 am

hokie carla

it is actuallly surprising

9:27 am

ChampFit

I need another 8. Have 2-A's and a V. What am I missing?

9:27 am

hokie carla

oh, my so5 babblet is an italian wine so I reckon ruru and mael had no trouble with that.

9:27 am

hokie carla

I don't have any 8s!

9:28 am

ChampFit

I assumed that so was an alt spelling of another word. Good to know!

9:28 am

momof5

I only have one a8, but I have the v 7/8

9:28 am

momof5

Just drop the a

9:29 am

ChampFit

There's an am 8/45, av 8/55 (and a 9) and the v.

9:32 am

hokie carla

duh. thanks, both.

9:32 am

hokie carla

is the am8 part of a set?

9:34 am

ChampFit

It's a 7/8. The 8 is the plural.

9:34 am

WoolyChris

There is an la8/45

9:34 am

ChampFit

Thank you!

9:35 am

ChampFit

Got it!

9:37 am

ChampFit

11:53 am

hurshy

hiya folks

11:55 am

hurshy

if i got am7 & 8, what other two corner A would i be likely to be missing?

11:55 am

mattygroves

al9? Are you missing that? It's a weird one (I don't have am7 and 8)

11:55 am

hurshy

i AM missing that

11:56 am

hurshy

am7 is a fancy word for a person who is like in love, or maybe just horny

11:56 am

hurshy

clue for the 9?

11:58 am

mattygroves

Erm...like giving money to churches...kinda? AL+multiple currencies but with an extra consonant in it?

11:58 am

mattygroves

Aaah - got the AMs, thank you!

BzznBea

Thanks, matty.

12:00 pm

12:05 pm

hurshy

i keep wanting something to do with amniotic but not finding anything that works

12:07 pm

mattygroves

I don't know which one you're missing - it's hard to tell, after a day of coming into and out of Babble which come from which tiles (at least when we're talking ai words). I have 7 AM words if that helps

12:07 pm

hurshy

ok so i need another AM then, i only have 6
