Thanks, had trouble finding it even after trying to look it up, figured it might be a “fetish” variant…
Thanks, of course “fetish—highwayman” would have been better. 🙂☕
Yup!
But also
Faceth Highwayman
Need to update this word list!
FETCH-HIGHWAYMAN
FETICH-HIGHWAYMAN
*WHITEFACING-GYM
*WHITEFACING – If you’re in a Scrabble tournament and your opponent knows WHITEFACE is good, this could be a tough challenge.
Cool! It’s variants are in the OED, hyphenated.
Interesting, thanks!
Whiteface was definitely the most promising word I found, but of course, no match. I did not see Highwayman, though I spent lots of time with the puzzle pieces. Chalk it up to good practice.
Whitefacing is not accepted by LB.
That’s why it has an asterisk.
My first word was this. I googled whitefacing but could not find any examples. But it does show up in GoogleBooks, usually in modern texts. Is it in any dictionaries?
FETCH HIGHWAYMAN too. (OA)
Same OA after playing with… Tightening, Whitening, Chimney, Enacting
OA after getting hung up on FETCHING and variations of MIGHT(Y), NIGHT(MAN), WHITE…
Same here.
Tried whitefacing (no), mightymite (yes), yachting (hoping to pivot on the Y), and fetching. I didn’t know whichaway to go (OED hyphenates it but LB accepts). Came back in the afternoon. Tried fetch and the highwayman came riding.
Same after giving up on the ING suffix
Fetch Highwayman. Oh, never mind, here he comes, riding, riding, riding!
If not for Matk’s Fetich (sorry, Mark, that didn’t come out right), I would have wrongly suggested it was a one-off.
That’s ok, Bernie. 🙂 That’s why I picked that one over the OA. More flair! ☕☕
Ah- noone had more flair than the highwayman to a third grader who learned the poem 🏇🏼. OA.
Good memory Steph. I had to think for a moment, then I sort of remembered. I’ll read it again. Thanks.
Bernie reminds us with the refrain, above 💕
FETCH HIGHWAYMAN – perfect use of letters.
But a cumbersome name for a dog.
Just like FLOWER(POT) & CHICKEN(POX). I only got as far as the HIGHWAY.
FETICH — HIGHWAYMAN
I typed FETICH just to see, and was surprised that it accepted it (but I will take it!).
LB would not accept ANTIGENICITY, and I couldn’t do much with GENETIC or HYACINTHINE
OA
fetch – highwayman
OA
WHITEFACE-ENIGMA-AYE (18/3)
because LB wouldn’t accept
WHITEFACING-GYM (14/2)
OA after spending too much time trying to make a compound word out of WEIGHT.
Enigmamachine* ?
Got OA finally after being WAYlaid by a MYTHIC THIEF in the NIGHT.
Also for those FAWNING in the WEIGHT room:
FETCHING GYM MAW
OA took me forever.
THIAMIN – NICEFYING – GNAW
