      I am surprised there are 14! To be fair, none of them, aside from VICUNA are easy/normal words for both, and NAVARCHY carries half the weight.

      Always glad to see these because I can do an immediate check of how many, what I might have missed, etc. Have a good one, Mark!

          Me too Samuel. Like you and Irim I strongly suspected singular today. Is it just me or does it seem like the LB dictionary has expanded in recent months? I guess that would not be unreasonable if true. ☕☕

    Was stuck on CURVATION for ages, but finally, after the better part of an hour, ended up with PUNITION-NAVARCHY. Tried every version of phyto- I could think of ending in a c, but protophytic never crossed my mind.

    Kicking myself because VICUNA crossed my mind, but I didn’t give it a go.

    Kanishk and RF, hope to see you soonest, loves!

    Good luck, all, and happy Tuesday.

      Kept circling back to ATROPHY but paired it with VICUNIA (not accepted) everytime. I wasted 1 and 1/2 hour before giving up. Pissed that I was almost there all along but didn’t consider to drop the ‘i’ in VICUNIA to VICUNA. So, maybe I would consider this to be a solve. What do you think?
      ……………….
      Well done Miss Irim. Checking on Kanishk-boy tomorrow.

          Yeah, I also hung onto Anthropic for a bit. I think what tripped me up is that I use ‘antiphonal’ and ‘antiphonic’ didn’t even occur to me. Kicking myself for that. As someone who has done both vespers and evensong, cross I didn’t see it.

        I don’t use the NYT app so maybe it isn’t in the LB lexicon. My apologies. The version I use accepted it. ANTIPHONIC is in the OED, MW, Collins, Am Her, and Scrabble dictionaries. Go figure. 🙂

        Yesterday I played Shuffalo, a New Yorker game, and it would not accept “Stearic” even though it is in every dictionary I know and accepted in Scrabble too.
