silly question .. when did the flip time change ??
1:16 am
MetFan
Ursh - some places stupidly go on Daylight Savings Time (the USA is one of them), and some do not. Sunday Morning we lost an hour - AGAIN. I wish they'd just drop all this malarchy.
1:17 am
ursh
thanks met - should be used to it - been playing long enough :)
1:18 am

i always get a surprise when the flip changes for me from 8am to 7am
1:19 am
MetFan
Didn't know they do it in your area of the world.
1:20 am
ursh
we dont - but the flip time still changes
1:21 am
MetFan
Must come from where the puzzle originates
1:24 am
MetFan
They originally did it so that school kids didn't have to walk to school in the dark (when it was safe for a kid to walk that far by his/herself. Nowadays with most parents coddling their kids with dropping them and picking them up (Don't get me wrong - I know it's not safe for kids out there these days) they should just do away with it.
3:21 am
Deeha
I wonder if it was safer for kids walk to school before chauffeuring? I seem to remember lots of kids went missing in the past. Not sure if the world is that more evil now
3:22 am

8:35 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I can think of one set a 5/6 set
8:35 pm
hokie carla
and your missing one is probably the other one I need so I won't ask that
8:36 pm
hokie carla
wait, what? there are 2 5/6 sets after that 7. I have one. assumed you had both based on just needing one A
8:37 pm
moolingwa
yes, I meant that I can think of a set you're missing
8:37 pm
hokie carla
ah, okay. is it normal?
8:37 pm

8:46 pm
moolingwa
I DD D A SS D T
8:46 pm
hokie carla
I know what your i is
8:47 pm
hokie carla
and the A
8:47 pm
hokie carla
I could guess on one of the S
8:48 pm
moolingwa
0-4-4-0-1
8:48 pm
hokie carla
I could also guess the T but we have it a bit
8:49 pm
moolingwa
if it's the "small" one, I have that
8:49 pm
hokie carla
that was it
8:49 pm
hokie carla
oh, it might be a 5 we also have often but I found it late today
8:50 pm
moolingwa
that's probably it
8:50 pm
hokie carla
or it's just a normal T word
8:50 pm
moolingwa
that could also be it
8:50 pm
moolingwa
nah, it was the t5
8:52 pm
moolingwa
that bottom D tho...
8:53 pm
moolingwa
found it
8:53 pm
moolingwa
bottom row greyed
8:53 pm
hokie carla
lol, I was going to give you a hint in spite of your wishes for that one :D
8:53 pm
hokie carla
pen just helped me with that
8:53 pm
moolingwa
yeah, always thought it was noun
8:53 pm
hokie carla
exactly
8:56 pm
hokie carla
the D's are mostly real words or regular babblets. your left might be a 6/5.
8:57 pm
moolingwa
if it's the one with the double letter...
8:57 pm
hokie carla
was going to guess it's scottish and of course it is
8:57 pm
moolingwa
oh, of course
8:59 pm
hokie carla
I've got no guesses for your last D
9:00 pm
hokie carla
what's your letter count now?
9:00 pm

0-3-3-0-1
9:00 pm
moolingwa
I DD D A SS
9:00 pm
hokie carla
lol, what does I did ass mean?
9:01 pm
hokie carla
cause of course that's what I read
9:01 pm
moolingwa
ah, well you know...no horse so I did the ass
9:01 pm
hokie carla
good thing we're the only ones here. hahaha.
9:02 pm
moolingwa
yeah, it's not like this chat is archived or anything ;D
9:02 pm
hokie carla
I know, but I'm apparently the only one that ever goes back and looks
9:02 pm
moolingwa
true, I never bother
9:03 pm
hokie carla
I read a lot of the very early years, and then I read a lot trying to find out when I took my hiatus and for how long.
9:05 pm
hokie carla
the early years are actually pretty interesting, just reading the changes dr. god made and stuff.
9:06 pm
moolingwa
how far do they go back?
9:06 pm
hokie carla
also, I found it interesting how the clueing changed over the years.
9:06 pm
hokie carla
I think to the beginning, 2004 or so
9:07 pm
moolingwa
oh, wow
9:08 pm
hokie carla
when I started playing the stats weren't there, so you had to guess how many came from each tile.
9:08 pm
moolingwa
oh, that predates me
9:09 pm
moolingwa
not sure I'm finding these last 7
9:09 pm
hokie carla
I will give guesses because I want to see if you can. A6, i8
9:10 pm
hokie carla
maybe S5
9:11 pm
moolingwa
i8...yoiks
9:11 pm
hokie carla
just looked it up. surprise, archaic!
9:12 pm
hokie carla
I will tell you it's an adv
9:13 pm
hokie carla
possibly both S are 5
9:13 pm
moolingwa
found one S
9:15 pm
hokie carla
sorry, the i is adj. just noticed I typed adv.
9:17 pm
moolingwa
what's the second letter?
9:18 pm
moolingwa
found it...yikes
9:19 pm
hokie carla
the A also looks like an adj but maybe I should look it up
9:20 pm
moolingwa
ah, found it...looks more like a biblical name :)
9:20 pm
moolingwa
So DD D S
9:21 pm
hokie carla
apparently it's a bronze color
9:21 pm
hokie carla
what was the full stat of the S you just found?
9:22 pm
hokie carla
ok, that was one of my guesses. I think you might need another sa5 but different points
9:23 pm
moolingwa
found it
9:24 pm
hokie carla
will try to narrow down the D's
9:24 pm
hokie carla
so you need a 5 and 2 6
9:25 pm
hokie carla
there is a de5/6 set that I have seen but it says archaic in M-W.
9:27 pm
hokie carla
all the 6s from the right are past tenses
9:28 pm
moolingwa
