FINGERTIPPARODIC
perfecting goad
Managing to get your kids to eat vegetables.
Same
same
Same. My favorite miss FRANTIC CODPIECE EGO
perfectionate – egad . Surprised perfectionate was acceptable but I’ll take it
Same here. At least it came fairly quickly; yesterday I failed to come up with anything in the time I allow myself. Seems there are many, many good answers with this array. Dognap! Fingerpaint! And the wonderful Tapdancing Gofer, surely today’s prizewinner.
“Same here” meaning Perfecting Goad…
yep. same here
FRANTIC CODING GAPE
FRONTING GAPE EPIC COD
I got this too, finally haha
perfecting-gonad
PERFECTING – GONAD here as well. I quite regret missing out on GOAD (as I still prioritize efficiency), but GONAD at least provides thematic coherence in return.
Happy to have serenely glided through this one, after yesterday’s exhausting -& exhaustive- session.
PERFECTING – GONAD here as well. I jumped at it after struggling with yesterday’s for way too long. I thought of a prolific sperm donor 🙂
Similar: perfecting-gonad
DOGNAP – PERFECTION
There’s a Seinfeld episode about that:

Nice one, Jill; I’ll make a point of watching the video later on!
a bit of a stretch, quite surprised it worked: PERFECTIONING-GAD
Same. Easier than thinking of a non word if we ended at perfection. The gadfly was perfectioning his arguments.
Okay it’s a stretch. Just glad I did not miss a one words solution. Hopefully?
me too! perfectioning gad
almost immediately found PERFECTIONING GOADING
Yeah, I was super surprised to find that when I randomly added “ing” to “perfection” it worked! Was ready for a long slog but got it within about 20 words.
PERFECTIONING GAD
PERFECTING – GOAD came quickly, so I played around for a few minutes and found the strangely satisfying FINGERPAINTING – GEODIC.
perfecta adorning
tapdancer reinforcing
It’s all about the shoes!
TAPANCING – GOFER!!!
tapdancing gofer
The ultimate multitasker; fetching with style!
PERFORATING – GEODIC. Possible image of rock-like object thrown a window? Hint: squint really hard and click heels together three times. . .
Well, maybe if you didn’t want to split the rock in half; you could just drill some holes and peak inside.
Love it! 🪨⚒️ I can hear Charlie Brown when he looks in his bag: “all I got was another holey rock”.
Ah, of course!
Same… PERFORATING / GEODIC
Same…
perfectionate egad
perfecting – goad
perforation – noncoding
a lot of good words to be found in the box but i had a tough time stringing two together
PERFECTER RADIOING. Marconi, of course.
Dognap Perfection for me too
I had a long word list before I finally came up with a solution (perfecting-goad) haha:

30 NOVEMBER
UNHELPFUL LIZARD
Hazardful Lupine (especially to livestock)
Similarly, Hazardful Lineup (for criminal suspects). But the real mystery is, will we ever see comments for November 30 as such? I believe this is the second time this month a day got skipped – in that case, permanently.
Played, Bernie, re LINEUP!
Another UNHELPFUL LIZARD
And another. Shame that these lizards are being so discourteous.
Same. Was happy to see the I this time as IZE leads to a plethora of possibilities 🙂
Same with unhelpful-lizard.
UNHELPFUL – LIZARD here as well. I got off to a bad start having PRELUDIN disallowed & then been unable to marry up UNZIP, LINEUP, DRAINPIPE, INFLUENZA(L), PRELUDIZE, ADRENALIZE, FINALIZED, PENALIZED, DUALIZE or even FUNERALIZED, as well as HELPFUL and LIZARD (!), the two of which I consequently revisited to get the thing over the line.
Is it me hitting a rough patch, or are the puzzles getting more involved? Either way, re-evaluating my strategy and seeking ANY two-word solution (instead of efficiency being my prime concern) may just save precious time going forward.
*PRELUDIN I was familiar with from a Pavlov’s Dog album track (which also includes ‘Late November’), and LIZARD is a brilliant King Crimson album title, so Prog-Rock did, after all, do the heavy lifting in this one (attaching significance to coincidence is my favourite pastime, hence I was thrilled by Bernie’s term APOPHENIA the other day)…
Yes, Apophenia, an interview useful word/concept I learned from a podcast last year about the origins of Q and its many conspiracies. The basic idea is that Q is actually an online role-playing game, continuously created by the players themselves without their knowledge.
I must check out Pavlov’s Dog, thanks for the tip! In the meantime, because no good deed goes unpunished, here just for you are some parody lyrics spouse and I wrote many years ago, to the tune of Frankie Valli’s old hit Candy Girl:
Pavlov’s Dog, never went to school
He hears a bell, then he starts to drool
He’s tied up
And wired up
He can’t run in the park
Or bark (bark!), bark (bark!)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Pavlov’s dog…
“Interesting”, not “interview”. Thanks, Siri…
Great rendition, Bernie! ‘His Master’s Voice’ would have been interested, wouldn’t they?
Me too.
Nov 30, 2022
Slim pickings today apparently. 👎🏻
My “unpairables”:
ADRENAL(IZE)(D)
FUNERAL(IZE)(D)
INFIDEL
INFLUENZA
PENALIZE(D)
FRENZIED
(UN)HELP(FUL)
DENAZIFIED was even accepted, but I couldn’t pair it with anything. Eventually stumbled upon UNHELPFUL LIZARD (the unofficial official?).
Maybe the unhelpful lizards are messing with the system? I did not do well but got a lot of nice words. My best solution was 4 words: HAZARD DUPLE EDIFIED DIN.
Lizard didn’t help me at all, living up to its reputation. So the best I did was a resigned FINALIZED – DUH – HARP.
Unhelpful lizard… Realized I could make a helpful lizard into an unhelpful one just before giving up!
HAZARDFUL LINEUP
As if regular lineups aren’t bad enough!
Happy St. Andrew’s Day, too, and a special shout-out to Andrew from NZ who hasn’t been posting here for a while; all the best, if you’re still tuning in!
unhelpful – lizard
I hope all is well with the person running this website.
UNHELPFUL – LIZARD
Hazardful Lupine
