9:34 am

hokie carla

gotta start with the other E

9:34 am

parisla

Not making me feel any better :-)

9:34 am

hokie carla

think of what sherlock holmes does

9:34 am

hokie carla

or something in a house to smell smoke

9:35 am

hokie carla

though that might have a different last vowel

9:35 am

hokie carla

1-2-5 now. that wiped out all my big ones.

9:35 am

parisla

Oooooh

9:35 am

ChampFit

Agree! Almost didn't try it because of that last vowel.

9:36 am

parisla

Now just 3 sixes left. 2D, one C

9:53 am

parisla

ro6/24?

9:54 am

ChampFit

Yep!

9:54 am

hokie carla

looked at the list. my 4 was actually ST4 so that explains why I couldn't find an SO. wish I could count better

9:55 am

hokie carla

and the upper R was one I was seeing phantoms of it and similar words all day but didn't go up all the way!

9:55 am

ChampFit

Done. It was the word that looks like another word. Thanks for the help all!

9:56 am

ChampFit

good morning - help for that cr 8/45 please?

12:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, tip-toeing in

1:04 pm

cybernan

I guess Peri left

1:09 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

left column do4 woot

1:14 pm

BzznBea

JohnM - I think when Dr. God changed servers, all those links got disconnected.

1:18 pm

BzznBea

Nan- cr8/45 is a compound a piece that supports a railroad track.

1:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ty bzznbea!

1:22 pm

cybernan

ty bea -- we always just called them railroad+ last part (2 words)

1:25 pm

hokie carla

I have heard of others having problems wtih the A2Z website. Don't think it has anything to do with Dr. God. Lickety put those links there and it's possible the A2Z website changed, messing the links up.

1:29 pm

cybernan

just need one more 8 now: cr x2, de, ?

1:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i use wordhippo.com, then go to the "find words" tab

1:32 pm

hokie carla

ro8, nan

1:32 pm

hurshy

1:32 pm

hurshy

1:34 pm

periwinkle

I am fine. how are you hurshy.

1:35 pm

hurshy

well i just found a 9 so i'm good lol

1:35 pm

periwinkle

ok.

1:36 pm

hurshy

doesn't finding a long word put you in a good mood too?

1:36 pm

periwinkle

yes

1:36 pm

hurshy

top row grey1

1:36 pm

cybernan

ty carla. Is it my imagination or are the words on wordle becoming more difficult lately?

1:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

dosed

1:37 pm

hurshy

2nd row grey!

1:37 pm

BzznBea

Today's word was nuts!

1:37 pm

periwinkle

well down hursh

1:37 pm

cybernan

agreed

1:37 pm

hurshy

shhh i haven't looked at wordle yet

1:37 pm

periwinkle

it was Bea

1:38 pm

periwinkle

can someone guess my missing Y from top row

1:38 pm

hurshy

ye6/24

1:38 pm

periwinkle

have that :)

1:38 pm

hurshy

2 4s and one of them has a plural

1:38 pm

periwinkle

ty

1:39 pm

periwinkle

also missing t word and r words from top row

1:39 pm

cybernan

have the t's but need 2 more r's

1:40 pm

hokie carla

I managed to get it in 3 but took me a while to come up with a guess (I don't think that's giving anything away)

1:41 pm

hurshy

the R is where i found the 9, have you guys got that?

1:41 pm

hurshy

aw man, enable doesn't know about squee

1:41 pm

periwinkle

there are two re9 hurshy

1:41 pm

hurshy

well only one from the top

1:42 pm

Otis the Bear

I have 2 re 9 from the bottom row r.

1:43 pm

periwinkle

me to

1:43 pm

hurshy

then there are 3 total

1:43 pm

periwinkle

me too even

1:43 pm

hurshy

or more

1:43 pm

periwinkle

there are 3

1:43 pm

hokie carla

enable also doesn't know about queso, hurshy

1:44 pm

hurshy

but that is foreign, squee is just the noise everyone makes when they see something super cute

1:45 pm

hokie carla

but there are a bazillion foreign words and this one is a loan word in american english, unlike the aforementioned bazillion foreign words

1:45 pm

hurshy

sure

1:46 pm

periwinkle

r

1:46 pm

hurshy

so the top R has a re7 and past tense of it is re9

1:46 pm

periwinkle

yes

1:47 pm

Otis the Bear

Ty hurshy!

1:48 pm

hurshy

so are there any SQ words?

I have a drooling cat on my lap.

1:52 pm

hurshy

*jealous*

1:52 pm

BzznBea

But its wet.

1:52 pm

hokie carla

I see enough drool that I am not jealous

1:52 pm

hurshy

yeah but it means the cat loves you and is so happy!

1:52 pm

BzznBea

I've never known a cat that drools.

1:53 pm

hokie carla

with winston it means that he wants our food

1:53 pm

hurshy

my mitten drooled when very happy, my opie drools when happy, and i think even rilla does a little bit

1:53 pm

BzznBea

Yes, drooling dogs with many boxers.

1:54 pm

hurshy

but that's humans' own fault due to breeding, right?

1:54 pm

hokie carla

heard of pavlov?

1:54 pm

BzznBea

LOL!

1:54 pm

hokie carla

in winston's case it's humans fault due to feeding

1:54 pm

hurshy

but like some dogs drool more than others, right?

1:55 pm

hokie carla

some breeds are bigger droolers

1:55 pm

hurshy

yes, so that's where the breeding part comes in afaik

1:55 pm

BzznBea

Our Quill is special. He also thinks he is a hairless cat and spends much time licking his fur away.

1:55 pm

hokie carla

I think the bigger jowels on some dogs can hold more spit but that's just my theory.

1:55 pm

Otis the Bear

I had a mastiff/lab cross and I was introduced to the term 'slingers' from mastiffs.

1:55 pm

hokie carla

well, but they aren't breeding them to be more drooly

1:56 pm

hokie carla

otis, winston is a golden retriever and has slingers all the time when we go on hot walks.

1:57 pm

BzznBea

Flew fling

1:57 pm

hokie carla

never heard it called that but that describes it perfectly

1:57 pm

Otis the Bear

when our Kilo dog (147 lb) passed I cried so hard my eyes were swollen shut the next day, but I do not miss slingers. lol.

1:59 pm

hokie carla

and dog spit is so slippery. sometimes winston is drooling for our food and I don't notice it on the ground and almost fall.

1:59 pm

hokie carla

we also have tumbleweeds all the time

2:01 pm

hurshy

oh and it doesn't know about croque messieurs or mesdames

2:02 pm

hurshy
