Rhizomic
I found HISTOGRAMS but not SCHNOZ. Eventually landed on RHISOMIC-CONGRATS.
Histograms-Schnoz
Not as efficient as the OA, but trigrams wasn’t a word I was familiar with
HISTOGRAMS SCHNOZ
and ditto on Cliffy’s comment.
I spent a long time trying to get MATZOHS to work.
Same
HISTOGRAMS-STANZAIC
HISTOGRAM — MONOZOIC
Also found:
CHIGNONS — STRAMAZON*
Another HISTOGRAM – MONOZOIC
Also found HISTOGRAMS and SCONZA(S) [a classical verse with a limping or halting movement] – a new word for me after falling upon HISTOGRAM(S)…
GONZO CHRISTMAS!
I tried to find a partner for Gonzo too, couldn’t find anything to link. LB didn’t accept Christmas anyway.
Me too!
Not sure why this wasn’t OA🤔
TRIGRAMS – SCHNOZ
Edged out TRIMARANS – SCHNOZ by a nose.
😄 OA too. Familiarity with Yiddish helps again .
NK – alot of Yiddish shows up in LB! Learning some new excellent words, like SCHNOZ!
👏
TRIGRAMS—SCHNOZ
Air, ☴, 🌬️
Earth, ☷, 🌎
Fire, ☲, 🔥
Water, ☵, 🌊
Heaven, ☰, 😇
👃
Interesting to learn the trigram correspondence to the ancients five Platonic solids. Tetrahedron (fire), Octahedron (air), Cube (earth), Icosahedron (water), and the Dodecahedron (heaven). Me like. 🙂
HISTOGRAMS—SCAZON
HISTOGRAMS—STANZAIC
I also learned SCAZON today. ☕✔
Another HISTOGRAMS – SCHNOZ here. Tried MATZOH(S) first then saw the GRAMS and I was off to the races. Two days of fast solves leaves me in a good mood 🙂
Histograms stanzaic
Good one!
Tried to find a match for MONARCHIST(S)…had to settle for
HISTOGRAM-MONOZOIC
Good one. I tried Monozoic too, but no luck.
GONZOISM* MONARCHIST
*a stretch but shows up on google.
Good one! Wish I’d added to gonzo like that and quit! Found monarch and tzar early but spent too much time trying to make -isms and -ists work.
I found this 3 worder
HISTOGRAMS / STANZA / ACAI
HISTOGRAMS – STANZAIC 😉
RHISOMIC – CONGRATS! TZARISM – MONARCH – HOG
OA for me today, but was NOT expecting it to be. Guessed on TRIGRAMS, and I started with SCHNOZ because of Ezersky’s predilection for Yiddish, but I thought it had been used before? 🤔 Glad to see the alternative solutions, feels like there have been fewer options recently (five of my last six solves have been OAs…).
I forgot to post this yesterday….
