And to all a good night.
Almost the same:
PREFERENCING – GAMILY
Got the same as you 🙂
PREFACING GAMELY here too.
Same
PREFACING – GRIMLY
PREFACING / GAMELY too.
Slightly different with PREFACING GAMILY
Same
Pacifying-germanely
Yes And… Pacifying Gremlin, Germanely. Explicit instructions: avoid bright light, don’t get it wet, and don’t feed it after midnight!
Also Malinger(er) / Maligner Repacify: they never stay calm for long.
Same here… OA
OA.. a little shocked actually. But I’ll take it.
Another REPLACING GAMIFY.
Same
REFERENCING – GAMEPLAY
Same
Refacing – gameplay
That’s what I found as well.

The PACIFIC—CLERGYMAN was PACIFYING—the—GREMLIN with a RAMIFYING—GELCAP by the FIREPLACE—ENEMYING°
The End.
🙂
Bravo!
Thanks! It’s fun when the parts of speech line up; noun, verb, object, with at least some thematic continuity.
Nice!
thanks!
…in CLARIFYING the GAMEPLAY !
That’s a good addition! 🙂
REFINANCING GAMEPLAY
CLARIFYING GAMEPLAY
Me too. Found it as soon as I read the rules!
Slight alteration of this for me: Clarifying Gameplan.
CLARIFYING—GAMEPLAN also
I found REFINANCING but couldn’t come up with a word using the remaining 4 letters. Always annoying when a word swallows up 8 letters yet leaves me at a dead end. Nicely done!

PREFACING – GRIMLY.
PREFACING – GRIMLY
The Tempest (act 2, scene 1) Antonio (plotting murder):
“..…to perform an act
Whereof what’s past is prologue”
ME TOO! PREFACING – GRIMLY (rather quickly!)
Prefacing Grimly also

REFACING-GAMEPLAY
REPACIFYING-GAMELY
CLARIFYING-GAMEPLAN
PACIFIC-CLERGYMAN
PACIFYING-GERMANELY
Same!
MINELAYER-REPACIFYING
Pacifying Gremlin
That’s what I got. I was so sure this would be the official answer.
PREFACING-GRIMILY
PLACER-RAMIFYING
*CALIPERING-GAMIFY
*CALIPERING good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Scrabble US (TWL)
Refinancing and Gameplay
MALINGER-REPACIFY

PRINCELING-GAMIFY
prefacing-gamely
Replacing Gamify
PYEMIC – CLARIFYING
Wow, good one!
preferencing gamily for me too
Preferencing-Gamely
A slightly different version
Facepalming grey. We are in England.
Pacifying – Germinal
FRANGIPANI – ICICLE – ENEMY
I know it is three words, but FRANGIPANI! LOL
REFINANCING — GAMEPLAY
(I typed in GAMEPLAY, but thought it might be two words).
I found tons of nice long words that went nowhere:
PRELIMINARILY, MAGNIFICENCE, MECAMYLAMINE, CALAMINE, MAGNIFY, MAGNIFYING, IMAGINING….
Nice word list! I had looked at MAGNIFICENCE too.
Even though I could not connect them, it is still fun finding long words and trying to come up with pairs. The Y was an obvious challenge today, but it was still entertaining for me!
Not sure why LB doesn’t accept perfectly good word like recalcifying but…. Primer/palmar/Palmer recalcifying gameplay/gameplan
I fussed with PRELIMINARILY for while. But no solution today.
REFERENCING – GAMEPLAY here, continuing my streak of using up way more letters than necessary 🙂
REPACIFYING GEMINAL
PACIFIC CLERGYMAN
I like it! Seems appropriate to me.
Referencing/preferencing/refinancing gameplay
