CHARCUTERIEENJOY
got official – was hoping can get something with AUTHENTIC(ITY/ATION), CONJURATION and THEOCRATIC but nothing so far
REAUTHENTICATION-NONJURY.
Good one Jimmy!
Fabulous. Great alternative to the official answer
(which I did not find.)
I got Nonjury Yachtie, more or less accidentally. At 14/2, it improves on the official for length, but the official has the advantage when it comes to Thematic Integrity.
Joinery-youth-hat at least has fewer letters than official (3/15)
CHARCUTERIE—ENJOY
ENJOY↘️
ENJOY—YACHT—TUI—IRE
IRE—ENJOY—YACHT—TUI
TUI—IRE—ENJOY—YACHT
YACHT—TUI—IRE—ENJOY
Two new words for me today:
Charcuterie: cold cooked meats
Tui: a large New Zealand honeyeater with glossy blackish plumage and two white tufts at the throat.
Brilliant!
Of course, AUTHENTICATION works as well but prefer the long-winded RE-.
Saw a NARCO smuggler on a CUTE TINY YACHT in the ARCTIC region. No JURY there, only ANARCHY! Felt ACUTE COERCION for REACTION. But I’m not much of an ACTION CHARACTER, so I decided to stay home, get tormented in the CHOIR of LB-Addicts and eventually ENJOYed the CHARCUTERIE that I had purchased in an AUCTION.
Excellent!
😀
I’m loving this take on the game, HLG!
Thanks, Bernie!
Official and fairly quickly after first finding JOINTER (REJOINT). Hallelujah! Still smarting from yesterday’s puzzle, but letting it go as a life lesson to remember “it’s only a game!”
Wise words, SUSANM. Enjoyed getting the official. Wrongly thought HYACINTH would get me somewhere.
Today’s official is something you might say to your guests.🙂 I’ve sworn off wasting too much time on this game. REJOIN-NAUTIC-CHARY and on to other things.
CONJURY – YACHTIE 14/2. More efficient and definitely MORE English than the pathetic official (kudos to anyone who found it, btw). Do I need to care if some half-taught buffoon decided to have a number of dictionary pages discarded, waving off absolutely legit words left, right and center? Of course not.
Conjury came up as “not a word” on mine.
CONJURY is in the UK Scrabble dictionary and also in Merriam-Webster, but not, interestingly, in the M-W U.S. Scrabble dictionary. That strikes me as an arbitrary omission, so I think we have to give Sota the win here.
There’s something inherently dismissive about that ‘not a word’ classification from a semantics perspective. Wordle, for example, uses the pronouncement ‘not in word list’ which strikes me as, at least, less arrogant.
I received the same answer but chose not to give a hoot.
Nonjury yachtie
Official. Some fun words to play with first: JOINTURE, CARICATURE, ARCHERY. . .
Couldn’t get it in 2 today. 3rd failure in a row. Terrible losing streak.
My 3 for today:
JOINERY YACHT TUT.
Official here.
Today’s birds: ARCTIC TERN and TANCHO (the Japanese name for the Red-crowned CRANE). TUI and TIT are both in this puzzle as well, but I will avoid picking low-hanging fruit unless none other is to be had.
On the branch of a tree
Sat a little Tom-Tit,
Singing
Willow, Titwillow, Titwillow…
The tancho is new to me, and fun to learn about.
Stunning, monogamous, lives nearly as long as us humans, and is the official bird of Japan Airlines.
Played, Oscar! NONJURY had entered my thought process, but I seemed to have forgotten all about it, by the time I saw YACHTIE. No regrets, however, about ceasing the opportunity to give the puzzle creators a piece of my mind (if they could ever be bothered to take notice of our little community).
(Meant as a reply to Oscar 4:26 PM).
Injury yacht theocrat
charcuterie – enjoy
Official
This time I switched to combining y and j sooner
Scored 12½ at LBF; 8 out of 12 letters rightly guessed, which is pretty decent (if you consider that, alongside V, the other incorrect ones were the ‘wildcardesque’ Q, X, and Z).
First answer authentication-noninjury. Not accepted. I finally got the official. Would have been so unhappy if I ended my streak on charcuterie my spouses favorite appetizer order.
I know it’s just a game that’s supposed to be fun or so I keep telling myself. Really wanted authenticity or cautionary my first two words to work.
Being inspired by other’s new, novel interpretations of the game (DW’s birds and HLG’s short stories), I’m going to try my hand at categorization. I’ll cite words that are math, physics, or chemistry related (since that’s wheelhouse). It looks like fun and it’s relatively easy to find them, time permitting. I think I checked them all. 🙂
ACTINIC, ACTINON, ANION, ANIONIC, ARC, AREA, CATENARY, CATION, CATIONIC, CONE, CONIC, CREATIN, CREATINE, CRYONIC, CURIE, ETHANE, ETHENE, ETHER, ETHYNE, ION, IONIC, IONICITY, IONONE, NEON, NTH, OCTANE, OCTANT, RATIO, REACTANT, RUTHENIC, TACHYON, TACONITE, TAN, TAURINE, TERNARY.
Oops, *my* wheelhouse.
Official. Ugh. Not being a foodie, it took various parts of most of all day to realize I’d seen both ‘char’ and ‘cute’ early on while I was looking for something ending with an e to start ‘enjoy’.
Me too. I knew it was a word, I had seen it somewhere, I just forgot its meaning until I looked it up. Ah hah, cold cuts!
