12:19 am

cybernan

hello all

12:21 am

Gillie

th8

12:24 am

MetFan

That's almost like the title of a song on Frida's "Something's Going On" album

12:25 am

Gillie

It's an alternate version of the word, I think

12:27 am

MetFan

Frida's song ends with a Y

12:29 am

cybernan

ve 8

12:39 am

cybernan

ayone found a 7 yet?

12:40 am

MetFan

Nope - got all the 8's, but no 7's

12:40 am

dizgrannie

not here

12:41 am

cybernan

not seeing that th 8 either

12:42 am

Gillie

It's not a common word - but MetFan has given a hint below

12:42 am

cybernan

yes - dont know the song nor the artist nor the album

12:43 am

MetFan

It's a Dorothy Parker poem set to music

12:44 am

MetFan

Try this: the number after two, chop off a vowel and add a mole on your skin

12:44 am

dizgrannie

thanks Met

12:45 am

MetFan

Love to help

12:46 am

MetFan

The artist is Frida from ABBA, but I can understand your not knowing the album, it's 45 years old.

12:47 am

MetFan

I am listening to it now

12:47 am

Gillie

I didn't know the album either - I googled it to check

12:47 am

cybernan

ty metfan - yes I googled it as well -- didn't know she also recorded Fernando -- thought that was an ABBA hit

12:48 am

MetFan

It was a Frida solo hit in Swedish

12:48 am

Lizlin

Lickety is having a problem with his list. He says it may be several hours before he can get it to work.

12:48 am

MetFan

Well, keep on monkeying

12:49 am

cybernan

I never look at it before morning, so all is good

12:49 am

Lizlin

I usually check then email him if it's not working, regardless of whether I'm using the list or not.

2:20 am

worzel

Been sat here for ages now, still can't find any 7's haha!

2:25 am

ursh

i have 15 left and not one 7 :))

2:26 am

worzel

I never open Lickety until I'm at least 1/2 way on each letter and have at least one of every stat and by goodness I'm tempted!!

2:26 am

ursh

Lickety is not working at present :(

2:27 am

worzel

ah well that puts cheating out then lol

2:28 am

ursh

found one ve 7/44

2:30 am

dizgrannie

thanks Ursh, finally nbt/nbs

2:30 am

worzel

yes, i was worried that v would create one - now just to start monkey the ve's

2:30 am

worzel

*monkeying

2:31 am

worzel

although I wouldn't turn down a clue . . . haha

2:31 am

ursh

similar to the ve 8 - drop the N and change the last vowel

2:32 am

worzel

yay thanks Ursh, that was driving me scatty!

2:37 am

dizgrannie

grrr, one more V to find

2:39 am

7:18 am

ChampFit

Still no 7's and down to 12.

7:18 am

Scrabbler

What an odd word. TY.

7:19 am

hokie carla

apparently a song of lamentation

7:20 am

hokie carla

and the definition of the word in scrabble dictionary is the word but ending in Y. I love it when a def of a word is the word. not.

7:21 am

ChampFit

Same! So frustrating.

7:22 am

hokie carla

8-5-6-2. guess I will look for 4s.

7:24 am

hokie carla

found 4 already. guess I'm more awake now. laundry time.

7:34 am

hokie carla

aren't the little gas station doughnuts called donettes?

7:34 am

ChampFit

No clue, but I have all the D's and that's not one of them.

7:34 am

hokie carla

well, I tried it already

7:34 am

hokie carla

so I know it's not. ;)

7:35 am

hokie carla

but I do need 2 D if you have any obvious guesses

7:35 am

ChampFit

One ends in a double vowel 5/12

7:35 am

hokie carla

have that one, but thanks

7:36 am

ChampFit

Thre are 2 5's and the rest are 4s

7:36 am

hokie carla

found a d4

7:36 am

hokie carla

and another

7:37 am

hokie carla

now 1-1-5-2 PP HH RR T (middle) E V

7:41 am

hokie carla

7:41 am

ChampFit

Ok.....thx

7:42 am

hokie carla

there was also a clue so I found it if you want help

7:43 am

ChampFit

Yes please!

7:43 am

dauber

TIL this thing doesn't accept "aieee" as a word, despite that I say it almost every day.

7:44 am

ChampFit

that's a darn shame dauber! ;)

7:44 am

hokie carla

the clue was similar to the 8 but remove a cons and change last letter. my alt clue is the chevy sports car with an extra syllable at the beginning.

7:45 am

hokie carla

I think it's ayiiii, dauber ;)

7:45 am

ChampFit

great clue! Thanks.

7:46 am

hokie carla

it's a small boat used for scouting

7:55 am

hokie carla

7:58 am

hokie carla

11:47 am

hokie carla

of course, thx

11:48 am

hokie carla

I remember that set now

11:58 am

hurshy

well this is funny

11:59 am

hurshy

my current stats are 14-0-9-2-5

11:59 am

hurshy

since when do fives just disappear

11:59 am

hokie carla

that's weird

12:00 pm

penquis

when you mistype them... ;o)....hello all....

12:01 pm

hurshy

no i mean i don't need to find any more fives

12:01 pm

penquis

happens to me all the time...sometimes it's because my cursor wasn't in the box...

12:01 pm

hurshy

in what was five whole tiles

12:02 pm

hurshy

no you are talking about things you have put in that didn't go onto your list

12:02 pm

hurshy

i am talking about all the fives HAVE gone in, i have got all of them way before finishing the other word lengths

12:04 pm

penquis

i think we are talking about it way too much, lol....

12:06 pm

hurshy

ok looks like i need th8 and op8

12:06 pm

hokie carla

pen!

12:06 pm

penquis

carla!

12:07 pm

hokie carla

th8 we've had before but it's weird. song of lamentations.

12:08 pm

penquis

the OP. 8 is a form of music....shorter than it's relative...

12:09 pm

hurshy

ty got the OP, thinking about the TH

12:09 pm

hokie carla

but longer as a word

12:09 pm

penquis

no...not in this grid...

12:10 pm

penquis

disregard that....not sure what you meant...

12:11 pm

hurshy

she meant op8 is longer than op5, 8 letters vs 5, even tho it's true that op5 is not in the grid

12:11 pm

hurshy

so it's like ironic that an op8 is a "little" op5

12:11 pm

hokie carla

lol, hurshy & I are definitely on the same wavelength today

12:12 pm

penquis

ah, ok...

12:14 pm

hurshy

so are you still missing the other 7, hokie?

12:17 pm

hokie carla

yes

12:17 pm

hokie carla

either P or R

12:18 pm

hurshy

i'm going to hope R so it could be a plural of a 6

12:18 pm

hurshy

what am i saying, we have no S

12:18 pm

hurshy

but maybe a pt

12:19 pm

hokie carla

no S either

12:19 pm

hurshy

ok so for P i have 1 pa, 1 po, the rest pe, and all are 4s except for one pt which is a 6

12:19 pm

hurshy

and i only need one P whereas you need 2, right?

12:20 pm

hokie carla

ok, I dont have the 6

12:20 pm

hokie carla

thx

12:21 pm

hurshy

but if the Rs do go together my last P would be a 4 and idk what i haven't tried!!

12:21 pm

hokie carla

all 4/5 except 1 4/6

12:22 pm

hurshy

well you're missing one too though, right?

12:22 pm

hurshy

ok just found an re6 but not with a 7

12:22 pm

hokie carla

yeah but have all my 4s

12:22 pm

hurshy

ok then the P is the 7

12:23 pm

hurshy

12:24 pm

hokie carla

12:24 pm

hurshy
