    1. Likewise. Tricky transition through U, but W was the first letter I engaged with, so WORTHY -> UNWORTHY came like a flash.
      LBF score 9½ (7/12 letters correctly guessed). Next try:
      YNC BDK OPT RUA

    2. Official for me too, after giving up on WEAPONRY and NORTHPAW.

      I did like the TI for UNLEARN-NORTHPAW-WHY, as far as three-word solutions go…

        1. I have never heard of upthrown so it didn’t feel like a win to me. I am absolutely glad I am not the only one with this peculiar answer. If four other brilliant minds say it counts as a win. Hooray for us and happy Friday.

          1. Damn right it’s a win! UPTHROWN is a geological word. I proudly display a picture of my kids standing on the San Andreas Fault with upthrown rocks in the background.

    New word for me: HWYL

    1. Cool word, never heard of it. Playable in Scrabble, too, so I will have to remember it when vowels are scarce. How did you find it, Mark?

      1. I was trying all combinations.
        I was just replying to you on another thread.
        Did you mean (Y/T) in regards to the Yellowthroat?
        Otherwise I’m confused on that.
        Thanks.

        1. Wow, do you have a script or something that tries all combinations?

          The W/T was meant to indicate that those two letters appear on the same side of the box, thus thwarting YELLOWTHROAT.

  2. Another quick official today, so I played around a bit and also found LAWN – NEUROPATHY, which sounds like a Monsanto lawsuit in waiting.

    Today’s birds: NENE, TEAL, PARULA (almost hit NORTHERN PARULA, which would have been awesome, but R and E clash), RHEA, WHEATEAR, and, if double letters are allowed, PARROT, POTOO, and LOON. Other good near misses that I will keep an eye out for in the future include PHALAROPE (P/E) in the singles and YELLOWTHROAT (W/T) in the doubles.

      1. Ah, I see now. I knew I was overthinking it. I thought you were indicating the first and last letters of the word; as in P and E for PHALAROPE (P/E), for future linking to other words, regardless of current letter placements.

        Yes I program in Python. I’m trying to build something today that finds words in play, and then reports back the Unicode character, if one exists. So far I have a couple dozen; Greek alphabet, Planets, Zodiac symbols, etc… I’m still hunting for your birds, and I’ve learned quite a few from your expertise! Unicode has interested me for awhile and I want more proficiency with it, from a code perspective.

        1. Very ambitious! Which word list are you using?

          Learning Python is on my to-do list. I wrestled Perl to the ground several years ago and then the universe abandoned it. 🙄

          1. Oh Perl! the Swiss Army Knife. Love it. I learned Perl before Python. I am drowning in lists, lists within lists, it seems. 🙂 I grabbed some Latin stuff but that’s resisting me. But “the problems worthy of attack prove their worth by fighting back!” Happy Friday, DW. 🙂

  3. Still looking for Spondulix (or Spondulicks or other alternate spelling) after all this time… Well, Syzygy finally showed up, so hope is alive!

  4. Oh, thank the Lord! I’ve been misfiring all week, so I was beside myself with joy to find LAWN-NEUROPATHY. Nearly settled with the one-shy UNWORTHY-YELP, but I persevered via NEURAL, NEUTRAL, NOTEWORTHY and ATROPHY. Roll on the weekend!

  5. OPULENT—THRAWNLY
    That second word almost seems made-up (from some collaboration by Dr. Seuss and Lewis Carroll ?). While it’s not accepted by LB, it is indeed a PSW, and in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Normally, I’d fish around for another solution, but today is a long day for me. So I’ll take this one, eat my vegetables, and call it a win.

    There’s also a kind of TI here, as opulence often does spill over into ‘thrawnliness.’

  6. LAWN – NEUROPATHY here after giving up on UNEARTHLY, UNWORTHY, ENTROPY, NOTEWORTHY.

    Took a while, but just chillin’ on a sunny, warm Friday afternoon 🙂
