Sides of this Letter Box are:
TPNHUYIKRCOS
The answers are:
PUNKSSYNCHRONICITY
Truckstops shiny
Same
Here as well. Nice to see some variety in the solutions today!
Here too.
Same. Lots of fun words today.l including pitchouts, stickups, tuckshops, tryouts, shonky and nonstick.
TRUCKSTOP – PYTHONIST – you know, the person playing the flute sitting at the truckstop looking for tips…… BWAHAHA!
So nice to have some variety today!!!!!!!
Same
TI: Buccee’s (in the Southern US)
That’s what I came up with as well. So many 11 letter combos. Was disappointed to not come up with full solutions including Chopstick(s), Prototypic, Shortstop, and Hickory among others.
LOL, I squeaked out an ALIOW win with TRUCKSTOP – PYTHONIC, then saw this and am wondering how I missed SHINY. 😝
PYKNOTIC—CRUSH
13/2
But my two favs today are tied thematically, at least tenuously, and maybe only temporarily:
PYTHONIST—TRUCK
PSYCHOTROPIC—CRUNK
Nice Mark! I found…
PSYCHOTIC – CRUNK.
I also had TRUCKSTOP(S) and didn’t see “shiny” 😂😩
I tried pairing it with forms of “phonic” and “siphon” but couldn’t get the Y in.
I have a few more words I bet you can pair. I’m pretty sure there’s a match:
Hickory
Phonic
Croutons
Pronouns
Phototonic
Good ones Bruce! Allowing for PSWs, I found these:
CROUTONS—SKYPHOI*
PRONOUNS—SHTICKY*
☕☕
PSYCHOTIC-CRUNK too
Psychotic-crunk too
I thought PRONOUNS was going to be a grammatical nod to ADJECTIVAL.
Out of professional interest, Mark, what was the geometry statement you proved?
Hi Wayne. It had to do with circles inscribed in triangles. A general formula giving the radii of the circles based on the sides of the triangle a, b, c. Thank you!
Sounds interesting! Like a generalization of the inradius?
Yes, and just for right triangles so far.

Sorry I missed this post until now.

Psychotronic cusk
Never heard of PSYCHOTRONIC before. Cool word! Thanks!
TYPHONIC-CRUNKS
Great one.
TUTORSHIP – PICNICKY
Lessons under the apple tree.
👍
Interesting
Nice find!
Nice!
CHOPSTICKS – SYNCHRONOUS
(longest solve 21/2)
I mispelled SYNCHRONICITY as SYNCHRONOCITY.
If not I would have gotten the OA. Oooh, how I was frustrated with that. Plus the frustration for a while to make SYNCHRONOUS work.
Good theme.
Thanks! ☢️🌹
I like this one. I got SYNCHRONOUS and STINKPOT, but really relished TUTORSHIPS!
Psychotic crunk
I got this as well
Me too. What’s a CRUNK?? 🤷🏽♀️
It’s a form of southern hip hop (music)
Love that there is a word (CRUNK) for these patterned elements of hip hop music–learned something new!
Exactly?
Same here. Thought it would be the OA because crunk and psychotic go together so well.
Another PSYCHOTIC – CRUNK.
PSYCHOTIC – CRUNK…
loose yourself to the music.
TRUCKSTOPS – SHINY…
New Trump campaign promise.
Same. I learned CRUNK from the kids meaning very drunk or high or both.
Word Play:
8 letters:
O_ _ _m_ _t
Hint: Jewel
ORNAMENT..
because it can’t be OINTMENT, OPTIMIST, or OUTSMART 🤠
Mr.MARKIEMARKUP,
Good job! Ornament, indeed! 👍🤗
☢️🌹
PSYCHOTIC-CRUNK
I have no idea what crunk means but LB likes it so I’ll take it.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crunk
Thanks Mark. I already looked it up. Never heard of it before and probably never will again outside of LB.
Psychotic-crunk as well. I couldn’t find a pair for c/hickory. I also tried turnips based on yesterday’s okra.
I like okra but beets and turnips taste like dirt to me.
Steph and i posted again on 3/25. I will add a variant PSYCHOTROPIC CRUNK
DEL
IOU
ACR
SVY
TI: success for the likes of Einstein
LAUD—DISCOVERY
Hey, Mr.MARKIEMARKUP,
Yepp! That’s the OA! Good job! 👍🤓
LAUD – DISCOVERY
☢️😎
SYNCHRONOUS -STINKPOT
INSTRUCTORSHIPS – SKY
New record for longest word for me. The way LB has been of late I wasn’t sure it’d get taken, but mercifully it did. 🙂
Nice! I was thinking of “sky” words briefly. Great pairing
Strong work. Always impressed by all the words everyone else sees that I don’t.
… for INSTRUCTORS in SKYSHIPS
14/2.SHRUNK KYPHOTIC
Great theme, P! Kyphosis does indeed shrink one’s height.
Sunstruck/Kyphotic
PSYCHO OUTRO OINK
STICKUPS – SYNCHRO
Muggings at a swim meet?
Same
truckstop-pythonic
TRUCKSTOPS-SHINY worked too!
Instructorship punky
PYTHONIC – CRUCKS
This was one of mine, too. Had never come across CRUCKS before.
My other solution was PICKUPS–SYNCHRON(IC/Y). I suppose, SYNCHRONICITY also works, but that hadn’t occurred to me until I started reading the posts here.
SYNCHRONOUS – STICKUP
One of the many who found PSYCHOTIC-CRUNK.
Was anyone able to use HONKYTONKS in their 2 solve? Wouldnt take honky lol
PORCUPINISH—HONKYTONKS
🦔🏩
I didn’t see the honkytonk earlier. Good one. ☕
No, but I killed some time on HONKYTONKS. Not in them, unfortunately
PSYCHOTROPIC – CRUNK
Envisioning this as a really groovy dance 😂
At the PORCUPINISH—HONKYTONK. 😃
TRUCKS SYPHONIC
PUCKS / SYNCHRONICITY
Instructors Skyship
croutons – skyships
Truckstops/pincushions – could have been neater but did the job…
Truckstops/pincushiony – could have been neater but did the job…
PSYCHOTIC CRUNK
Wanted to make chopsticks work for far too long
Another PSYCHOTIC-CRUNK here!
PICKUP-PSYCHOTRONIC
Wrestled with psychotic, chopsticks, pincushion before arriving at a 2 word solution
Got PSYCHOTIC then made up CRUNK, was surprised it’s a word too! Almost settled for a 3w, had a few 16/3, one 15/3 answer. PSYCHOTIC CRUNK has TI also.
I also got psychotic-crunk.
The dictionary says the origin of crunk may be the combination of crazy and drunk—a portmanteau (love that word). So, there’s definite TI.
Excellent!
truckstops – shiny
truckstops – shiny
INSTRUCTORSHIP – PICKY
i got this one in like 4 minutes!!! yay
CHICK / KNOTS / SYRUP

OA but synchroniSTIC
Seems like I just typed this. Because I did, and then the site destroyed it all. Twice. Grrrrrr.
Tons of good answers today, many of which I duplicated, including the OA. The only one I found that might be unique is Orchitis Spunky. TI: it would be helpful to be the latter if you have the former.

COZEN – NIGHTHAWK
Like Mvua I got COZEN- NIGHTHAWK. Waiting for her to come up with the funny theme.
Speaking of funny, wheres Bernie?
Hey guys – well I finally came with a 2-word solution for this day’s (3/26/2024) puzzle about 3:30 this morning (3/27/2024):
STINKHORNS SPRUCY
(Davel’s #227)
but LB didn’t like SPRUCY so I went back to bed and then about 7 this morning I woke up and was able to get
CHOPSTICK KORUNY (#164
LB didn’t like it either)
and then a little later I finally got #1 on Davel’s list.
But what I really wanted to say was that y’all gave me a bunch of words to look up:
cusk
crunk
crucks
psychotronic
koruny
pyknotic
pythonic
orchitis
Besides all those that are on Davel’s list. Thanks 🙏
Blessings!
