Sides of this Letter Box are:
ABSTREYHMIOL
The answers are:
BEHEMOTHHAIRSTYLE
SHAMBLES and SORORITY
stories shambly
My answer too.
THEORISM – MARBLY
Hairstyle – Embryo
Ooh, Hairstyle Embryo, I got close, but never got Hairstyle! Hair, Hairy, Hairs, Style, Embryo, found all of those.
Tomboyishly-year
That’s a good one!
Thanks- liked it too!
Royalties Shambles
Same here!
TOMB – BEARISHLY 13/2. Some interesting words that I came across; ALEMBROTH, MISTY, BROTHELS, MARITAL, YOHIMBES, HOMEBOYS, HOMEYS, HOMELY, HOMESTAY(S), ORBITAL, ARBORIST, OATMEAL, as well as one of the few words I remember from a short visit to Israel that was, sadly, rejected in LEHAYIM.
Hairstyle Embryo (which I thought was pretty bad until I saw the official answer), Theories Shambly and Histories Shambly (but MVUA’s Stories Shambly is better).
Other finds along the way: Mohair, Thimble(s), Shamble(s), Homestyle, Homie(s), Homiest, Homely, Homeboy(s), Boyish, Boyishly, Boyar(s), Shim(s), Alarm(s), Alarmist(s), Alarmism, Arborist.
And finally, BRIS, MOHEL and SHLEMIEL – three things you do not want to put together!
“Bearish Homestyle”
which describes my man cave.
I got HISTORIES SHAMBLY, surprised it’s a real word but it is! Could only get 3 word answers with EMBRYO, EMBRYOS, MEMORIALS, MEMORY, MEMORIES, etc.
Same. I saw thimble(s) and biyearly first. But went with tomb-bearishly. Glad it wasn’t the official.
TOMB – BEARISHLY
Congrats to Sota and Jp for finding a 13/2!
And to TK too!
THROMBOSIS-STALELY
a chronic clot
….so wanted BIALYS to work….
I got THROMBOSIS SHALEY. Of no thematic interest methinks.
Official. Interesting alternate answers, y’all!
THROMBOSIS SHALEY
shambles- sorority
thimbles soar rye
TARBOYS – SHLEMIEL. Bit of a culture clash there.
THROMBOSIS SHALEY
HAIRSTYLE – EMBOSOM
Words from February 10 puzzle:
cretins, elect, ogres, orcs, besiege, toxic, excretion, intention, excise, lobo, extinction, exit, next, cleric, obsolete, text, exegesis, erotic, sex, exorsi(se), tonic, goblet, sonic, gong, extol, song, enclose, circle, belong, gone, toxicities, gentler, sensibilities
A GRAY WOLF ADDRESSES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
In their chambers the cretins (the ones you elect),
Ogres and orcs of minute intellect,
Assemble together, with all disrespect
To besiege with their greed, to infect by neglect.
What’s the cure for this toxic excretion,
These bribes and lies, to hunt with intention?
How can we excise this evil inscription
Of a white man’s plan for the lobo’s extinction?
Not with an exit to the cosmic next,
Nor a cleric’s revision of an obsolete text,
Not a new exegesis on erotic lupine sex–
But an exorcist’s potion to poison the hex.
So here is the tonic to right your wrong:
Fill the goblet! Bang the sonic gong!
Sound the knell, and extol our song
To enclose the circle, and again belong.
(And, when the ogres are finally gone)
Replace the old toxicities
With gentler sensibilities.
Nice to see my lobos and orcs again! 🙂
Maybe I was dreaming, but I could have sworn I commented positively on your poem earlier this morning, Jill.
I think the site may have had another glitch wherein there were two versions of the Feb 11 page for awhile.
Yes– the first few posts for today disappeared into the ether, so I reposted.
Amazing 🤩 !
THROMBOSE – EARLYISH
Neither of which I would have won a bet on if you’d asked me if they were real words! So much fun having some more latitude today. Kudos to those with more succinct responses 🙂
Nice tried to make thrombose(s) work for a long time but never cracked it
Official, after trying to make HOMESTYLE work
I admit, I had to trawl through some word lists to get a two worder today: OBEAHISM – MAYORALTY. I had heard of Obeahism before, but only in Vampire: the Masquerade, and I definitely would never have thought of it myself.
Tremendous solution.
Official, after fiddling with HOMESTYLE for a while
Thrombosis Shaley go figure.
Histories shambly
What is shambly btw?
THIMBLES—STAROSTY
So I had to look up STAROSTY, and curiously, it appears to be a proper noun. Wouldn’t have thought LB would accept those. I also discovered that BOHEMIA was accepted today (I didn’t manage to pair that one, though).
ORATORIES SHAMBLY.
Like reponses to the State of the Union?
Hairstyle and embryo
Nice! And kudos for using the Y twice—niether time as a word-final adjectivizer.
My first attempt, HISTORY, left BLAME. In different game this would have been a perfect answer, as well as an opening for some uncomfortable meditation. After trying a while to adjust them to connect connect I settled for BLEMISH HISTORY YEAR — same theme but seemingly more specific.
