SUBCULTUREEMOJI
Oa instantly
EMOJIS ⇄ SUBCULTURE
SUBCULTURE ⇆ EMOJIS
Yes, I did it the other way round too: EMOJIS-SUBCULTURE
Same
Same, EMOJIS – SUBCULTURE.
Justicers – Stromboli in a just a few minutes after blindly working my around the square. Who knew Justicers would be a word LB would accept?
Good catch on getting the OA. Nice TI.
EMOJIS / SUBCULTURE
Same here too.
Me too! JUSTICERS – STROMBOLI
Oa
OA Today!
Reverse OA here. Had EMOJI(S) pretty early, but took a long time to finish, despite having CULTURE as the 8th of 16 or 17 C words I wrote down and knowing the SUB prefix was out there. Brain finally got it, though.

Love BIJOUTERIE! Also played with JURISTIC-CLOSURE-EMBLEM
I got BIJOUTERIE* – EMBLICS*
Actually, BIJOUTERIE was accepted by LB! But not EMBLICS
BIOMETRICS-SULJE*
*SULJE good in Wiktionary
JURISTIC-CLOMBE*
*CLOMBE good in OED, Wiktionary
That’s what I came up with JURISTIC-CLOMBE but was disappointed (yet again) that a valid word was not accepted by LB….

BOLOMETRIC-CUCUJOS*

Got STROMBOLI quickly (too much time watching Kilueae erupting on tv had volcanoes on my mind) but getting rid of JUCE would be easy as long as the S didn’t follow the E! Tried JUSTICERS on a whim and got a pleasant surprise.
justicers – stromboli as well
OA, and kind of surprised I got it, as I seem to get thrown a lot by solutions that have multiple repeating letters.
JUSTICERS – STROMBOLI
Court order.
Justicers stromboli
Jurist —> Tuberculome
I spent way too long on tuberculosis and reticulosis. Very medically oriented this morning.
OA…wordless communicators
😄
OA
EMOJIS — SUBCULTURE
It didn’t dawn on me to reverse these two.
Tried STEREOMETER*, TRIBOMETER, BIJOUTERIE, and TUBERCULOSIS but couldn’t pair them. Then found CULTURE, CITRICULTURE, and then SUBCULTURE (which got rid of that pesky B).
Emojis subculture
Juristic culturebomb culture bomb really two words but a good TI – when judges try to make social policy
Biculture(wictionary) emojis
Jolts submetric(OED)
Emojist(wictionary) tuberculosis
Justices stronboli
Justicier stromboli
Justiciers*
Jubilist tuberculome
I looked that up. Says it is French online but LB accepts it. Go figure. Lol. Nicely done. Btw how many Bills are in this forum?
Thanks Simon. At least Bill Duffin and me.Been Bill all my life but real names William. Bill not as popular boy name in U S as it used to be but William still really common
Btw, I’ve got some good finds. Maybe someone can do something with them. I was about to look at Richies finds for matches
Trilobitic meticulous meretricious blusterous curious utmost outermost outburst ulterior meristic merit is tic meriting cubist cubistic cubism memoirist Julietism
And for good measure, Jebusite (proper noun)-Canaanite people who occupied Jebus before hebrews took it and made it Jerusalem
Funny how names become popular. When I was a kid no one was named Micah or Ezekiel, now they are everywhere.
I used MERISTIC too. I’ve run out of turns but your list looks promising. Outermost. I also found CLUBSTER which is outdated but means “a person wielding a club.”
Another possibility. Obstetrics or obstetricious
JUSTICE EMBOLOMERE/I*
(*MW)
Also EMBOLOMERISM
Was surprised to find JOBSTER accepted but not JOBSITE.
Embolomerism is pretty good too!
Thx, Bill.
Jolters submetric
And just so I completed the game per LB word list, I submitted
JUJUBE EMBOLISM MERISTIC
Oa
TI: Gen Z
I got stuck trying to make TUBERCULOSIS work, so I ended up with an inefficient three-word solve: TUBERCULOSIS-SUE-EMOJI
Settled for three. Juristic – Club – Bomber. Some weird TI going on there.
Finally got OA. Found tons of words i couldn’t match like TUBERCULOSIS, EMBOLISM, JUJITSU. Then saw EMOJI and that took me to the solve immediately.
and METICULOUS was a non-solve for me too.
