Sides of this Letter Box are:
BEYRTOAHICNM
The answers are:
AMBIENTTHEOCRACY
Thymic, carbonate
Good one. carbonite is also accepted.
Lots of good words in today’s selection
EMBRYONIC CHEAT 14/2
Nice one! 🙂
I got BITCOINER-RHYTHMICA
RHOMBIC CYANATE 14/2
AMBIT TECHNOCRACY
RHOMBIC—CREATIONARY 18/2
Thanks for ‘rhombic’. 🙂
Ditto. It’s almost a thing, init? 🙂
Embryonic Cheat… Trump in utero? Or the thin edge of the abortion wedge inserting itself in our peaceable puzzle kingdom? Or both?
This made my day!
Ditto for me
Arhythmic Combine
GREAT!!
EMBRYONIC – CATCH
EMBRYONIC CATCH here too, I fully expected it to be the official answer. My first 2-word solution was RHYMER RECOMBINATION. I figured there was a better shorter way.
I got embryonic catheter…..teeny catheter to be?same for teeny catch? though it could be argued that……well you know
hyacinth-hombre
Like Ferdinand the Bull, perhaps?.
Rhythmic-carbonite
Rhythmic Carbonate or Carbonite is where I ended up, relieved to have it over with. But for once the official answer lands a thematic punch in these trying times.
Gaaah! I had both of those words at different times, didn’t think to put them together though.
ARYTHMIC – COMBINE for me.
Lots of fun solutions today,
and I really like the official answer.
Are we to expect a cope-stone-poem to round off this incredibly inventive collection of answers, Jill? I’m aware these things don’t come on demand but, if not today, then when? Incidentally, we’re still yet to come up with the elusive 13/2. Somebody, anybody?
All of the good solutions have a Greek reference, as you know. COMBINER – RHYTA is 13/2 (RHYTA is the plural of RHYTON, “a type of drinking vessel used in ancient Greece, typically having the form of an animal’s head or a horn, with the hole for drinking at the bottom.”)
That is an astonishing find, DW; exceptionally well played!
Excellent 13/2.
I didn’t know rhyta, or rhyton.
And a theme is there too; pour the little cups into the big bowl!
Jill, Sota21 is asking for more of your RHYMER – RECOMBINATION (19/2).
Today’s puzzle is too much fun …
ay ay ay . . .
I’ll try.
First timer here.
Bayonet Thermic was accepted.
Welcome aboard, AJDetroit! yours is an exceptionally inventive and efficient answer, plus a nod to modern weaponry. I’m sure the thermal bayonet is in development, if not already deployed!
BAYONET—THERMIC 14/2
A hot blade ?
RECOMBINANT—TACHYON 18/2
Genetics meets Physics.
☺
RECOMBINANT – THY
It took me a while but I evenyually got RHOMBIC – CENTENARY.
A little disappointed that NONBINARY -YACHTMEN wasn’t allowed.
*eventually
Not too great at 16/2 with HOMONYMIC – CABARET
Many possibilities today. RHYMER-RECOMBINATION (something to do with rap?). My favorite is YARNBOMB – BATHETIC.
I found one solution quickly but decided to play around looking for others, and then managed to forget my first solution! Not for the first time, I believe. At any rate, I like BATHYMETER – RECOIN just because I will never in my life have another chance to write BATHYMETER.
Recombinant – Technocracy
Recombinant / thy
A little something for the back to school crowd
ARITHMETIC- CRAYON- NIB
Recombinant – thy
Combine Erythema
Go ahead, I dare you!
Combiner / Ratchety
It may not be the optimal solution at 14/2, but… BONER RHYTHMICA.
Oops, counted incorrectly, 15/2.
What is an “optimal solution” on the numbers and why?
Hi, Jon. Because the last letter of the preceding word begins the next word, the minimum number of letters for a two-word solution is 13 (14 for a three-word answer, 15 for a four-word, etc.) The Platonic ideal would be a one-word 12-letter answer, but this has not been encountered in the wild, to my knowledge.
So we need to go for 2/13? Thanks. I’ll try although I’m pretty happy when I can get it in 2 words, regardless of the letter count.
Wow lots of options today. I ended with cinematic – choir boy
Correction CHOIRBOY no space
Chris, your answer aroused traumatizing memories of Paul Anka singing (?) Ave Maria in the 1959 movie (?, again) Girls Town. Mystery Science Theater 3000 did a hilarious number on it, if you want to check it out on YouTube.
combiner – ratchety
RHOMBIC – CREATIONARY
Chicago . 06 September
A VILLANELLE FOR MY FELLOW LETTER BOXED FANS
Imagine a boxed, somewhat rhombic creation
Perhaps from a Times ambient theocrat
Suggesting pairs of words in arhythmic combination.
But letters can hiss, in rhythmic carbonation:
Foreshadowing a possible embryonic match
In that slightly unsquared, somewhat rhombic creation.
Fluid as a recombinant tachyon,
In rhyta as tiny as of Chalcosoma Atlas,
Ephemeral letters dance in endless rhythmic combination.
And us? Eschewing “official” Times pre-expectation,
Denying the ambit of technocracy ‘s hard patch,
We forge our own (slightly squashed) rhombic creation
Across countless time zones, in semantic flirtation.
A hyacinth hombre, a ratchety latch:
Fantastical pairs in a rhythmic combination
Nourishes delight and collective elation.
Each day new letters: to play with, to hatch.
From a boxed (slightly squashed) somewhat rhombic creation
We pair fabulous words in rhythmic combination.
CAUTION: GENIUS AT WORK!!
I mean, I can hear Annette Peacock singing it.
And, with that, our community made it to comment #5150 (I can hardly think of a better occasion).
Jill, you should submit this to the New Yorker, with a brief explainer! It’s a helluva lot better than the poems they usually print.
Enrichment tarboy
ANTHRACITE–EMBRYO
Got the official
Baconer- Rhythmic
Baconer? Really?
