The answers are:
REVAMPPERSONIFY
Vamp Personify – much faster than usually and more efficient than OA, yay!
Same
vamp personify…
A new perfume:
the iconic musk fragrance from elon in de toilette; dare to appear almost human.
MVUA that would be a great connection if the word was “vampire”. But a vamp is someone with the prowess of seduction and charm. The absolute opposite of nole! Lol 😆
Vamp Personify
Yes, I was surprised they went for ‘revamp’ – I saw VAMP PERSONIFY immediately. High five!
I’m surprised the OA was the less efficient revamp instead of vamp. I also got VAMP – PERSONIFY and was sure it would be the OA!
TI: the embodiment of seduction 💋
Yup!
Same.
Yes, why the extra RE? Vamp Personify = Theda Bara, as if anyone’s ever heard of her.
MOVERS-SAPONIFY
Likewise.
Took me until Sunday, but I finally found MOVERS-SAPONIFY. Irritated I couldn’t finish VERMIFORM.
Improves — Saponify. Although LB should have accepted Sanify.
Omigosh, Saponified! Never thought I’d see the word in the wild, as it were. I thought it was invented by the admen behind Fitch’s Coconut Oil Shampoo, sponsor of Phil Harris and Alice Faye! (I listen to a lot of old-time radio, and that’s one of the only two so-called comedies I can truly recommend from the so-called Golden Age thereof, the other being The Jack Benny Show, which spun it off. Nothing new under the sun, including product placement!)
VAMP—PERSONIFY
PYRIFORM—MAVENS
OVOPYRIFORM°⁻—MARINES
Just VAMP-PERSONIFY
OMNIVORES-SAPONIFY
FRIES. SAVORY? YEP. PANAMA!
Are those Freedom Fries?
Improves-saponify
I got the same.
Trying to make a better soap?
REVAMP – PERSONIFY
The evolution of generative AI chatbots.
Informavores-Sysop. IT Department’s unquenchable thirst for info.
Nice!
PERFORMS-SYNOVIA*
* SYNOVIA good in Merriam-Webster, OED, and Scrabble US (TWL) but not in LB
I tried that combo too and was disappointed it wasn’t accepted
Yeah, if that had been accepted I would have been done much much sooner.
VAMP-PERSONIFY Louise Brooks for the win
Add Theda Bara for another reference only film mavens will get.
OMNIVORES — SAPONIFY (Sounds like a lab job I had during college).
Also found IMPROPER, PYROMANIA, FOREVER, FOREVERMORE, FRYPANS, and EVERYMAN*
I got stuck on the Disney fairytale word FOREVERMORE 😂
I was actually surprised LB accepted it!
Informavore-eponyms
Vamp personify
pyriform – mavens
Another VAMP PERSONIFY quickly here, was sure it’d be the OA. Got IMPROVES “SANIFY” which was a made-up 2w, but led me to seek other -ify words, so right away tried Personify which left Vamp (V A M the remaining letters) the obvious solution… hooray!
MOVERS SAPONIFY
PAPYRI-INFORMAVORES
I first got INFORMAVORE-EYEOPENERS, but I guess EYEOPENER isn’t a word.
Rejected on grounds of hyphenation, I suppose. But in a world where Informavore gets a pass, why ride the old hyphen hobbyhorse?
First found PERFS – SYNOVIOMA*
then VAMP – PERSONIFY
PREPYRIFORM* MAVENS
I see PYRIFORM was accepted.
The superior VAMP – PERSONIFY, after trying to find a match for SAVORY (PENIFORM was accepted, but not PENIFORMS 🫤).
IMPERSONIFIES* SAVORY
Apparently SAMOVARY is acceptable in Russian only.
Overmans
Saponify
didn’t accept synovia or synoviae
