12:34 am

hokie carla

well, just finished my 4s and only have 1 5 left so I should definitely quit for now. 0-1-4-4-3-2

12:35 am

hurshy

i think picking off the smaller tiles is more fun, if one is awake at the flip

12:36 am

hurshy

and i can sing "all the single digits (all the single digits)"

12:36 am

hokie carla

I do that if I'm on my ipad in bed but am on my laptop now so it's much easier to type

9 of my 14 are from the 2nd S, which appears to be a pain

12:37 am

8:12 am

hokie carla

rehi - back for my last 7 words and just found one, the 5. G S S4 left now. 0-0-3-3 will probably have to list for these but will look one more time.

8:12 am

hokie carla

I know nan called a 2nd ga7 but I sure can't find one

8:13 am

hokie carla

nm, monkeyed it finally. that's an odd superlative. I guess the root there doesn't mean what I think it means.

8:15 am

hokie carla

ooh, found the left S

8:18 am

phaeton

in7?

8:18 am

8:21 am

phaeton

ty

8:22 am

phaeton

I need two from the top right S and one from the left
S

8:22 am

hokie carla

well, had to look at the list for the 7. 'twas a plural I thought I had. tada.

8:22 am

phaeton

gj

8:23 am

hokie carla

you might need sn6/7 from the right or a pair in the long line of sh words.

8:24 am

hokie carla

my last left one was st6/18 (a pl w/ no sing in grid) but you might need sh6/30

8:24 am

phaeton

I have those

8:24 am

phaeton

don't have the st8

8:25 am

phaeton

or sh30

8:25 am

nope...have the sh30

8:25 am

hokie carla

LMK if you want any clues

8:25 am

phaeton

k

8:27 am

phaeton

in8/9?

8:28 am

phaeton

right side greyed

8:29 am

hokie carla

if you find a sh6/7 set add IN to that

8:30 am

phaeton

ty

8:37 am

phaeton

having trouble find a stupid st6/18...the second one

8:39 am

hokie carla

that was my guess earlier - it's a plural where it's the same as the singular (not in grid) but different last vowel. it's like stages of nothing happening, staying the same

8:41 am

phaeton

hah! FW

8:48 am

mkg

8:51 am
