The answers are:
ELFFILMOGRAPHY
Filmography-yep
In under a minute. Makes a change!
I also prefer agreeable movies.
FILMOGRAPHY-YEP!!! finally got it 😅
Filmography Yeh
Filmography Yep
Filmography Yer
Ref Filmography
Great minds think alike, so: OA Elf Filmography (insert list of Christmas movies here), plus Megaflop Periphery (add sublist of BAD Christmas movies and their sequels and prequels), and Filmography Yeh / Yep / Yer (motto of IMDb, where you’ll find the aforementioned ). It’s Theme Day!
Same, but it took half an hour.
I was closer to the half hour, also, after playing around with GRAPHOLOGY and HOLOGRAPHY. For a second I thought FILMOGRAPHY – YE would work for a perfectly efficient solution, but I forgot it didn’t take two-letter words.
Filmography — Yep
Reasonably quickly
Similar. I saw graph first and filled in the rest in seconds.
Same. Came close to the elusive one word answer today! Unfortunately, it meant an extra letter than minimum possible (2-13) was needed to complete the puzzle because two letter words are deemed too short.
Oa, fairly quickly.
POLYGRAPHER RAMIFORM
i like your answer too Louisa … very creative … i had to look up RAMIFORM … such a simple, beautiful word for having the shape or form of a branch …i wonder if they were thinking Ram’s horns kind of resemble tree branches ..
Rami are tree branches in Italian, and therefore Latin I expect.
No rams, but still a nice word.
FILMOGRAPHY – YORE
filmography – yore as well
capturing bygone years
Same. Within a few minutes!
POLYGRAPHER REFILM*
Polygrapher yes, Refilm no. Your Ramiform is a great solution to an unacceptable problem!
Pyrographer. Refilm
refilm
transitive verb
re·film (ˈ)rē+
: to film again
Pyrography, yes! You’ve taken me back to the 1970s, when poker work, marame and lumpy pottery were all the rage.
Filmography yore after lots of trying with polygrapher, polygram,graphology,paragraph,paralegal etc.
j was disappointed about REFILM as well.
POLYGRAPH – HOMELIFE
POLYGRAPH – HOMELIFE also.
Do you want orange juice with breakfast, dear?
Don’t look at your lawyer. Just answer Yes or No.
LB and OED rejected POLYGRAPHER – REFILM. Guess that, when it comes to Hollywood, they don’t know how the sausage is made. But MW does. (If you’re going to mix metaphors, best to do it with sausage).
Film Megalography
Yeah, was pretty shocked that REFILM got rejected. Shortened POLYGRAPHER to POLYGRAPH after that and found HOMELIFE son thereafter. Also surprised HOMEFRY wasn’t accepted.
ELF – FILMOGRAPHY
TI: Lord of the Rings (Legolas, et al), Harry Potter (Dobby), Elf (Buddy), any movies Santas helpers appear it, etc.
Or
FILMOGRAPHY – YEP
TI: list of movies by a very agreeable actor
Great TI ref, CR. It’s a fav series of movies.
Aragorn: “Bring him down, Legolas! Kill him. Kill him!”
As the Orc breaches the wall.
OA for me …
but i like the Filmography Yep answer better … Yep is one of my favorite words and i didn’t even know that LB likes it too!
😎🐝🇺🇸🇮🇱
ELF — FILMOGRAPHY
I found FILM and GRAPH and tried FILMOGRAPHY, worked back to get ELF. The rare day that I get a solve in under two minutes.
two minutes is about my time limit, and as such I very seldom win. But today I did what you did, and then backfilled ELF for the win.
Fast solve for me too. Under 3 minutes. Filmography Yep.
Femoral lipography
OMG!
Painting with a greasy old bone?
filmography-yore
FILMER RAYOGRAPH
REF-FILMOGRAPHY. “After further review, the call on the field stands.”
The FAMILIAR—RHYPAROGRAPHER,
of FILMOGRAPHY—YORE,
decided to leave the MEGAFLOP—PERIPHERY,
and start a new career in FILM—MEGALOGRAPHY.
Other *GRAPHY words today include PYELOGRAPHY, RHYPAROGRAPHY.
Anymore?
Love RHYPAROGRAPHER: a painter who practices rhyparography, which is the art of painting or writing about morally unworthy or sordid subjects.
Adding it to the new words list for 2024! FEMORAL LIPOGRAPHY here. Lots to play with today.
Hey Susan, great solution with FEMORAL—LIPOGRAPHY!
I too was drawn to rhyparography, as well as the perhaps more lofty megalography.
OED: megalography, n. Originally: drawing on a large scale. Later: the artistic depiction of things considered greatly significant, such as legends of the gods or events…
I was thinking “The Ten Commandants”, with Charlton Heston.
I found…
Pyrographer – *Refilm
*Perfilograph – *Hermoglyph
Hi Bruce, yes, I was disappointed LB did not accept REFILM, such a simple word. But as others have noted, LB frequently omits words with certain prefixes, like non, anti, un, and now maybe a new one ‘re’.
Yeah, I’ve been pretty frustrated lately finding words that aren’t accepted. So, I started to do the *words. It’s less satisfying 😂
FILMOGRAPHY YEH here, not my favourite answer, but got it super quickly. Yesterday I got a whole bunch of 3w’s but somehow missed a 2w and spent hours.
I just guessed Filmography after seeing -ography and looking at remaining letters. Had also tried -ology, Apology or Graphology. Happy to be done early today!
OA today
OA in about 4min; and only the 2nd time I’ve gotten a two-word solve!
Congrats!
🎉
No idea there were easy answers. Found HOMOGRAPH HYPERFLIER
HARELIP POLYGRAM MOFO
Filmography Yer
I had no luck with a two word solution. I spent a lot of time and
MOP POLYGRAPHER RIFE
HOP PILGRIMAGER REFRY
GRAPH HYPERFLIER ROMP
Were my favorite three wotders.
Femoral lipography
Another FILMOGRAPHY – YEP after spending 20 minutes on POLYGRAPH(ER)/HOLOGRAM. Spotting FILM in the leftovers of POLYGRAPH led to the solution (which for a second looked like it was going to be a single word solution, but oh well).
I feel your pain. I went through so many combinations and finally saw filmography, yep!
ELF FILMOGRAPHY
GRIEF FILMOGRAPHY
FILMOGRAPHY YEH
FILMOGRAPHY YORE
FILMOGRAPHY – YIP
very quick

Had spent a lot of time with it with no complete answer…. then I saw the word filmography in the subtitle of a movie I was watching. Rang a strong bell and I got it with yep following!! Kind of crazy, but great!
