    1. Ran out of time and came up dry looking for something with thematic integrity. Will trust others to succeed where I have failed!

    1. Fascinating, MARK! Perhaps you’d care to share the thought process that got you there (so that, one day, others can work out such fab solutions). I mean, you went HOLIES and then pondered what the remainder could form, or did SYNTAGM occur first?

      1. Hi Jill. That was a good find! I enjoyed reading the article. Thank you for posting it. It’s pleasing to know that others too, have found this game (LB) to be a springboard into other areas. Lately, I’ve been especially liking the thematic side to the word-pairs we find in this game. They are truly new entities, creating new ideas. Realizing that these pairs might never have been written, spoken, or even connected in thought before is amazing to me. Good stuff!

  1. Despite the inefficiencies, quite happy with SHANTIES SEMIOLOGY 17/2

    Also found some other stuff that failed:

    MEGATONS STYLISH (woah a 15/2 alternative I just found as I was writing this list up but can’t enter as I am an unpaid user so I only have one chance per day)

    STYLISH HOGMEN or HOGMAN (Even farmers are hipsters now… only missing an A or E)
    MANLIEST TOGS (you have to be Australian to understand that the answer is budgie smugglers and relates to one of our previous prime ministers )
    MANTIS SHOES (small footwear for bugs)
    ESTIMATIONS SHAMAN (a lot of druids in quantity surveying these days)
    NEGATIONS SHAMAN (a rapper name?)
    NEGATIONS SHYLY (no M… someone afraid to tell their superior the bad news)
    ANTILOGY YES (peak uncertainty)
    HONESTLY YAM (a straight-shooter’s answer to the question, “what do yams taste like?”)
    SHAMAN NEOLOGY (theological confusion for sure)
    NEGOTIATIONS SMILY (better than negotiations frowny)

    LONELIEST (unpaired for thematic reasons 😉 )
    GEMSTONE
    ISHMAEL (illegal but cool find)
    HOGSTY (not a hogstay. That’s when you babysit a piglet)
    SMILIEST TONY (peak Anthony)
    ANTILOGS
    GEOLOGY
    STONE (^ ha)
    ATONEMENTS
    OILTIMES (illegal… if you’re a Rockefeller I guess that’s your name for old-times e.g. “It’s been ages! Join our family for dinner. It’ll be just like oiltimes.”.)
    HOSTILE
    ANYTIME

    1. If anyone can tell me why SMILIEST TONY relates to MANLIEST TOGS (see both entries above) I’ll… I dunno, but you get a reward if you’re not Australian and figure it out 🙂

      1. MEGATONS STYLISH

        Hi, HY. I do know the answer, and I would wear it on my shirtfront, but I don’t qualify. I wonder if Putin remembers Tony, but I doubt it.

        1. And yeah, if only the infamous shirtfront threat had transpired. Perhaps it would have knocked some sense into him… but “humbled by an onion-eater” probably wasn’t an epitaph he deemed befitting of an ex-KGB man.

    2. My list:
      Gemstones
      Gestations
      Ghostly
      Hostility
      Limitations
      Manage
      Notation
      Siltations
      Smiley
      Smily
      Stylishly
      Stylists

      But I wasn’t able to find a connection 😛

      1. I found recently that re-entering the puzzle through the New York Times website actually permits you to play at will. The only catch is that Restart only works the first time, so you either have to keep hitting Delete or keep exiting and entering. Worth it, though!

      1. Good one, Sota!
        Amazing work all ‘round today! After much Agony, Negation, and Goatish bleating, I Solemnly and Silently went with Megatons Stylish, though it has Only the Ghostliest whiff of thematic integrity.
        I too was Aghast that Hogmany wasn’t accepted.

    1. I was one letter short with MISMANAGEMENTS SHYLY.
      Also missing one letter was GHOSTLIEST TAMELY. I could hardly even get a 3-word solution… after seeing Elitism in the official answer, I realized Egotism could work better than Egoism, so my best 3 word answer here: EGOTISM MANAGES SHYLY (I entered MISMANAGES SHOT TIMELY)

  2. I wanted manholes to work and so I was puzzling syn words and got syntagmata. So ended up with Holies syntagmata which I did not like.
    Wanted nosegay, neonatology, nematology or anything else but….

    1. Why oh why if you had the qualities of a yam would you not be YAMISH. Got totally stuck on NEONATOLOGY for way too long
