You overestimate my abilities, golondrina golondrina , but thank you! I’ve always been terrible at word games even though I have a good vocabulary. My mom was a champ when it came to crossword puzzles, and my husband works the New York Times crossword puzzle—in pen—every day! :)

Bibble doesn't exist in any of my english dictionaries :sniffle:
Bibble is a rare word.

Bibble dictionary definition | bibble defined

Bibble: In a Sentence – WORDS IN A SENTENCE

The next step is working them in your head, the way chess players play games without a board. It's much easier with crossword puzzles because you've got the hints and the grid to look at.

Thank you Boris Diamond for your patience and trouble disclosing your weird words fountain. I'm sorry I have put you through this trouble. It would have sufficed to explain but I'm glad of the clarification, otherwise I would have remained with the wrong impression. :blush: Thank you again.

I confess that I have had a chuckle to myself. You are such a tease proposing such strange out of the ordinary words. PushPurrCatPaws was a genious to have found the good answer.

Yes, PushPurrCatPaws did a fine job of getting this answer. I have put up several clues that were guessed right away, so I thought I would find something difficult. This is the first time I used a word from Voxy, the link I posted. Won't use that website again, but there are plenty of others! :anticipation: And I must say that some of your words have been zingers, too! :thumbsup:

Not really. (And Boris Diamond is not naughty! And "genious" is a typo! :lol:)

All I did was put, "define bibble" into DuckDuckGo's search engine and the definition pops up at the top of the page.

define bibble at DuckDuckGo
Yes, PushPurrCatPaws,I know about genius. When I realized my typo it was too late to edit. Some forums let you edit at any time after the post. I never understood this time limitation at TCS. By the way, what is this DuckDuckGo, a search engine like Google?

DuckDuckGo (DDG) is an internet search engine that emphasizes protecting searchers' privacy and avoiding the filter bubble of personalized search results.

Since I am concerned about internet privacy, I use it. Though sometimes I use Google when I can't find the answer on DuckDuckGo, even though Google is a notorious collector of information.
