FUTURISMMONKEY
from yesterday’s array,
inspired by those who found the wyvern, and SLC’s five-word-solve.
The WYVERN
The wyvern, of our mythic mind
Like a viper’s sting and dragon winging;
Yet reason’s stone makes myth unwind;
She’s overpowered, but still defying.
Against the rock cliff, grimly gyved
While forever ripening, grew wide-eyed;*
As the prow of night her soul untied;
Though still endowed, the wyvern died.
*SLC’s five-word-solve
wyvern, viper*, winging, overpowered, defying, gyved, forever, ripening, grew, wide, eyed, prow, endowed, died
Thanks Jill, always a pleasure to find your words. So glad I could play today!
The Wyverns is the name of my new power-metal band; debut album title: Grimly Gyved.
Awww, nope. Names taken… A band from the French Riviera… very dramatique.
I just looked them up and listened a bit. I like them! Their first album, though not ‘Grimly Gyved,’ somehow feels related: “Fading Fear”
I actually enjoyed them as well, given the context of discovery. So theatrical. Didn’t see the album title, which is hilarious!
Another gem!
The ability for someone to see poetry in LB arrays leaves me wide-eyed. Brava, Jill!

FORTUNE TELLER 🔮
Hey, RICKY,
BINGO!!! You got it! Brilliant!
FORTUNE TELLER, indeed! 👍🤓👍

The OA:

OA…
“Take your stinking paws off me, you…”

This is exactly what came to mind when I hit upon the OA! No doubt I was primed, because I recently rewatched the film. It stands up incredibly well.
OA. I can barely remember the last time I solved LB! 🤦🏽♀️
OA.
OA here as well and in mercifully very short order. Saw FUTURIST TURNKEY immediately and the monkeys didn’t take long to roll in instead.
Same steps for me.
I doubt there are many solutions today, but I am gobsmacked that the puzzle does not accept TONOMETRY. FUNKIEST – TONOMETRY* is a delightful solution. I do not understand why Sam insists on using whatever word list this is when the Scrabble list is basically a standard for word games nowadays and is so obviously superior.
OA but not easily. Was sure FUTONS, SMIRKY, SMOKIEST, FEMINISM might lead somewhere….
OA today!
So many words, so little time! Finally settled for FOMENT-TURKEYS-SIN for a smile.
That’s my problem too – I’ve been on the road since Thursday, and haven’t solved anything since then.
And very late posting for this puzzle. AND LB doesn’t recognize my solutions!
Anyway:
KINSMEN NINETYFOUR*
FEMINIST TURKEYSTONE*
NONFEMINIST* TURKEY
OA but not before coffee was finished. So many errant avenues to travel down: OUTSTRIKE, TURNKEYS, FOMENTS, FEMINIST, KINETOSOMES, MINISTRY, MURKIEST, FOURSOMES…. need I say more 😉
Thanks for the tip re “Strands”! Am
enjoying it!
I found a solution but one word was not accepted. Frustrating!
[ TOURISM ~ MONKEYFY*]
I was very close to others as well but fell short. I felt TURNKEY, TOURIST/TOURISM, TOURNEY, MONKEY, MURKIEST, FUNKIEST, MINISTRY, FEMINIST/FEMINISM, MEMOIRIST all had matches. I bet many pair some of these.
Tried FRIENEMIES, but it wouldn’t take it. LOL
I believe it does in fact accept Frenemies, but note the spelling.
OA today, and yesterday. Today’s is particularly tasty, P of the A-wise. And what a pleasure to see another astounding entry from LB’s Poet Laureate Jill!
OA after hopes dashed for FEMINISM(T), TUR(N)KEY, TOURISM, etc. Having the choice was fun to explore.
Thank you as always, Jill: always a nice surprise.
OA TODAY! Yay!! After many moons!
OA sounds like the plot of Planet of the Apes
Settled for three again.
