12:33 am

MetFan

emerse is in the grid - but it's not on the clue list

12:33 am

Gillie

in8 x 3

12:34 am

Gillie

are you thinking of "immerse"?

12:44 am

MetFan

No, Gillie - it's in the Best Words list.

12:45 am

MetFan

Words on that list are supposed to e good worldwide (if in black)

12:47 am

Gillie

I'm not finding it in any dictionaries using Google

12:48 am

Gillie

I take that back - WordNik has it as "To rise, or cause to rise, from a liquid: opposed to immerse"

12:51 am

Gillie

But MoreWords doesn't seem to think its a valid word in any of its lists (including Enable)

12:52 am

Gillie

(or Scrabble US, or Scrabble UK)

12:54 am

Gillie

The Meriam Webster Scrabble dictionary doesn't accept it either

12:55 am

Gillie

Merrian-Webster, that is

12:56 am

Gillie

Definitely an uncommon word, at best

9:28 am

hurshy

are all 5 corner S words SM?

9:28 am

hurshy

she says, even though she already has an sh from there

9:28 am

hurshy

*eyeroll at self*

9:32 am

hurshy

basically i need 2 more of them and am flummoxed

9:40 am

hurshy

phantom: meteor

9:41 am

hurshy

well i half agree with ruru. i found one 9 easily.

9:46 am

hurshy

ooh i got those Ss, silly me

9:52 am

ChampFit

gm...back to pick at my last few.

9:52 am

hurshy

hi champ

9:52 am

hurshy

do you have both 9s?

9:52 am

MollyL

I thought they were both pretty easy

9:53 am

ChampFit

to answer your questions, there's an sh4 from that corner S.

9:53 am

ChampFit

Both 9's are in

9:54 am

hurshy

i got the one that's a kind of doctor

9:54 am

MollyL

Those who place within

9:55 am

hurshy

ahh, thanks

9:55 am

ChampFit

Ru could do so much with the clues for this one...

9:55 am

hurshy

i keep wishing for compounds like fi4men or fi4wood

9:56 am

MollyL

I thought of that but dirty clues largely go ignored here unless they are from Ru

9:56 am

ChampFit

There are some, but not from that root.

9:57 am

hurshy

what root should i try then?

9:57 am

ChampFit

one is metal, another one uses an appendage

9:57 am

hurshy

ty!

9:58 am

ChampFit

There's another 8 that starts like the appendage...

9:58 am

hurshy

hmmmmm

9:59 am

hurshy

aHA got it

9:59 am

hurshy

thanks

10:02 am

hurshy

loks like my last 8 is another in8 from the bottom, based on the flip chat

10:03 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, i see words to puzzle!!

10:03 am

hurshy

no wait i counted wrong

10:04 am

hurshy

maybe whatever my last 8 is just hasn't been called or mentioned

10:04 am

hurshy

morning gwen!

10:05 am

MollyL

Is it an I or a T

10:05 am

hurshy

if there is a t8 then it is that

10:06 am

ChampFit

I need one too...no idea which one.

10:06 am

ChampFit

well, it's not in, because someone said there were 5 of those.

10:06 am

Book Doctor Gwen

nbs woot

10:07 am

hurshy

yeah i have 5

10:07 am

MollyL

tr8 is a wprd for three short syllables, as if that will help

10:07 am

hurshy

well it helps with the first three letters

10:07 am

MollyL

Weird if that is a last word since it is a plural

10:08 am

ChampFit

I have a tr8

10:08 am

hurshy

last 8, not last word

10:08 am

hurshy

and i am missing 3 7s, so

10:08 am

hurshy

got 'em

10:09 am

ChampFit

Go hursh!

10:09 am

hurshy

no, i guess i was only missing 2 7s cause now it's down to 1

10:09 am

hurshy

i am going for a walk, back later for last 6 words! ttfn

10:19 am

Book Doctor Gwen

11:07 am

cybernan

good morning everyone?

11:29 am

cybernan

I keep trying internet -- cant believe it isn't in the dictionary

11:37 am

hokie carla

it used to be capitalized. howdy, y'all

11:37 am

cybernan

with all the other questionable words we get I don't know why me4er isn't there -- you are looking at mine!

11:43 am

cybernan

hi carla - off for breakfast - back soon

11:43 am

hokie carla

hi/bye

11:44 am

hokie carla

ps - looks like the AP Stylebook stopped capitalizing internet in 2016, so way longer than I thought and definitely long after Enable was made.

11:44 am

hurshy

in8ing

11:45 am

hokie carla

well, that took me a min to figure out what you are saying. now you gave me a word by trying not to give me a word.

11:45 am

hurshy

i cannot lie, i was aware of that possibility

11:55 am

hokie carla

this one seems kind of tough

11:56 am

hurshy

i thought it was pretty nice actually

11:57 am

hokie carla

first pass just isn't going smoothly. maybe I'll see more after mopping.

11:59 am

hokie carla

oh, but I just found my second 9 so I got that going for me

12:00 pm

hurshy

:)

12:07 pm

hokie carla

lol, had one M left and was about to ask if there are any cat sounds and lo and behold that was it.

12:08 pm

cybernan

hi again

12:08 pm

hokie carla

rehowdy

12:09 pm

cybernan

I just find it getting harder to solve these grids -- probably old age setting in

12:11 pm

hokie carla

just keep working on them

12:13 pm

cybernan

have 3x in 8 so far - are there any more?

12:13 pm

hokie carla

every i I see from the bottom row is actually fro m the middle row that I grayed

12:13 pm

hokie carla

12:14 pm

hurshy

12:17 pm

hokie carla

12:17 pm

hurshy

in8 her gaze was in8 than any other gaze i'd seen before

12:17 pm

hokie carla

not intenter

12:18 pm

hurshy

if you have the doctor in9 and the 6 before it who is training to be a doctor, you should look for a 7 and 8 to go between them

12:18 pm

hokie carla

ok, got those, thx

12:19 pm

hurshy

the gaze, you're so close, letters-wise

12:19 pm

hokie carla

12:23 pm

12:27 pm

cybernan
