hint: eight lying down
Is that one word or a bunch of words? If it is one word, infinity?
One word.
Infinity didn’t fit the number of letters. Infinity has only 3 i’s. The word has 5 i’s.
INFINITIEIGHT
Haha! Wrong Mark!
WARSHIPS SURMOUNT
Great Naval Battles
Same here!
Me too, after spending a fair amount of time on MOUNTAINTOPS.
I dislike the implication because I have respect for the Puritan tradition and much of what emerged from it (and thoroughly dislike the widespread Christianity-bashing now common), but WHOMP PURITANS is a perfect 13/2.
Nice! I was stumped (whomped?) trying to find a match for Whomp(s). Plus the efficiency bonus.
So is TUNAS – SHIPWORM
I found TUNAS SHIPWORM too, I didn’t think the plural with S would be allowed.
My solution as well. Maybe this is just an archaic way of saying “Bible thumpers”?
Nice find for 13/2. Also without compound words
UPTHROWS – SANTIM
I now know that a Santim is a Latvian unit of currency.
I think there may be a lot more possible answers than for the last few days.
OA, which has pretty good TI but loses points for inefficiency. Whomp Puritans is genius on both scores! Good one, Hy!
Cheers. Was first (only) complete solve I found. 🙂
Printouts Shawm
Learned a new word today
Also outsprints- shawm
Same here, only with
rainspouts – shawm
MOUNTAINS SHOPWORN. That Slartibartfast feeling
Those lovely crinkly edges!
HOTSPUR RAINWORM.
Only heard HOTSPUR as part of Tottenham Hotspur and I didn’t know if it was a ‘real word’. Then I just guessed RAINWORM and was pleasantly surprised to find it was a word.
I was mad for a while that it wouldn’t take throwup.
I finally got it in 2 with WHIPSAWS – SURMOUNT, but I guess extra H’s are better than extra S’s.
Mountains Shipworm. Bad news for Mount Ararat?
Pinworm Mouthwash. Yuck.
Arrived at this as well.. took a while!
Snowpants-shiurim
I spent far too long on mountaintops. Also warships, swimsuits, printouts,snowstorm,township
Another MOUNTAINS – SHOPWORN. Areas over-visited by tourists.
Funny (to me), because I toyed with WASHOUT and SHOPWORN at different times. Can’t really understand why I never saw MOUNTAINS, let alone MOUTHWASH.
Anyway
WARMOUTH* – HAIRPINS
UTOPIANS – SHIPWORM
* PSW, but not LB-approved
Shout out to all the PROUSTIANS* out there!
OA again…
WARSHIPS SURMOUNT same as Stripe found
Pinworm Mouthwash – not a great visual
or WHIPWORMS-SUNTAN
Warships surmount.
This grid spoke out to me and said compound words
Got OA after spinning my wheels with Mountaintops
Naturopaths swim
WHOMP – PURITANS…
Recruiting slogan for the Salem coven of 1693.
PINWORMS SHIATSU
What a great solution!
MOUNTAINS / SHOPWORN as well.
And me.
I got mountains, but never saw shopworn. Compound words seem to elude me—which means two-word answers usually do, too.
MOUNTAINOUS – SHOPWORN
WHIPSAWS SUEMOUNT. Had PINWORM early on but didn’t see the pairing. Fun to have options today!
