Still think it’s broken?
😉
+ MANGROVE – ECHIS* (saw-scaled viper)
SCAVENGE
ENGRAVE
ROMANCE…
Why didn’t it catch all of these the first time?
SFChick, It did find them. Usually, after Agent Smith generates the list, I’ll have to validate them to see if LB actually accepts them. Most times, they’ll be solutions that are not accepted. If I really like them, I’ll then try to validate in OED or MW. I love San Fran, by the way, I used to walk from one end to the other, years ago. My ex was from there. 🙂
Got it!
The app is quite clever. At first, I thought you were an autist…. Then I learned of the app last week.
I programmed for a living, many years ago, so I appreciate well written code.
Good on you! 😉
Spending more time in Carmel these days…SFO has become too dangerous.
I started off with Monarchism Misgive. Maybe some people are having second thoughts about it now that it’s too late? Then it was on to the Mangrove swamp: OA Schism Mangrove. The sect split over the holy Chrism and Chrisom Mangrove, being the holy source of Charism and of the yet more holy baptismal balsam and robes (obtainable only through an even more holy Chrisoms Scavenge).
CHEVRONS-SIGMA here too
OA for me today.
SCHISM / MANGROVE here, too.
Same.
VENOM—MISCHARGE
Likewise.
A baby rattlesnake. Nice!
Mischarge -evasion
Hunter Biden.
Cheongsams – savior
SCHISM – MANGROVE
CHRISM – MANGROVE
SCHISM – MANGROVE
Today the law firm of Marsh, Quag and Myer announced the dissolution of its LLP with immediate effect.
😄 got it, This!
😄
I ended up with the less efficient version of the OA, MACHOISM-MANGROVE. Pretty quick today.
Same! And all I can think is that Machoism Mangrove is one Florida destination I do not wish to visit.
I just noticed Masochism hiding in plain sight! No Tango though, alas.
😂
Mischarge Environ for me today. Climate deniers?
Same
MISCHARGE – ENVISION
Mischarge Environ(s)… gentrification.
Anarchism Mangrove… frisky manatees
CHARISM-MANGROVE
Outdoor Southern prayerfest
???
Can you explain your TI a little more?
Perhaps far-fetched, but I was thinking of an Evangelical Revivalist outdoor event near Florida swampland. Ala Elmer Gantry?
As a kid I had a crush on sister Sharon falconer. Jean Simmons had many great roles
Burt Lancaster was a favorite also
Me too. I know that the OA is more efficient, but I found ANARCHISM first and I wasn’t going to split from it. (See what I did there?)
ANARCHISM-MANGROVE
SCHISM-MANGROVE
MISCHARGE-ENVENOM
CHEONGSAMS-SAVIOR
CHEVRONS-SIGMA
GIVEN-NOMARCHS
*CHRISMONS-SCAVENGE
*CHRISMONS good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Scrabble US (TWL) but not LB
ISOCHEIM-MANGROVE
MONARCHISM-MISGIVEN
MISCHARGE-ENVOI
Venom mischarge. Very quickly
CHRISOMS-SCAVENGE
Monarchism Margrave
Good output, Richie, above and below. I had to look up CHEONGSAMS.
Thanks!
Monarchism Mangrove
Just curious, does LB ever go to the trouble of constructing solutions where the words are related to each other in some way? Something like CROPDUSTING GRANT, for instance, or MISCHIEVOUS SCAMP… I do seem to recall them maybe using something like TURKEY once on Thanksgiving…
those of us who enjoy seeing themes certainly think so
Thematic Integrity = TI. As Steph suggests, even without an obvious connection, we can usually rummage around and come up with something. 🙂
Literary Plagiarism?
Mischarge Envision
– imagining what could go wrong.
It often seems that way, but also often the OA words have no apparent relationship, even often with an alternate solution(s) appearing to be quite related. I suppose it’s difficult to impossible to say since two only ever establishes a coincidence and it takes at least three to establish a pattern.
Also, I would offer a caveat regarding confirmation bias since the human brain is hardwired to contrive connections between unrelated things in our environment as part of inventively making and using tools in order to problem-solve and better survive.
As I learned from a Hidden Brain episode, this is a common psychological phenomenon called Apophenia, seeing patterns where there are none.
Oa
MONARCHISM – MISGIVEN
How you get democracy
CHEVRONS-SIGMA.
Absolutely fiendish to put RES and IN on the same sides of the box, so it required a bit more lateral thinking. Great challenge.
I agree. Putting IN and RES on the same sides of the box made it more challenging. However, I was able to find CHEVRONS – SIGMA in about five minutes. I will call that good for today.
Also, I like it when there is more than one two-word solution to the puzzle. Have a great day!
Agree too. Got to OA in the end though
Got the less efficient MACHOISM -MANGROVE
MONARCHISM – MISGIVE
SCHISM — MANGROVE
I spent lots of time with SARCOMAS
LB doesn’t like ANGIOSARCOMAS or HEMANGIOSARCOMAS (both valid)
I failed to match CHROMOSOME. It also doesn’t like: HOMOCHROMOSOME or ISOCHROMOSOME, both in OED. ☕
Chevrons sigma
Mischarge evensong
Evensong is a sweet find, Bill!
On a side note, I would be remiss if I failed to mark the fact we finally have a more expansive array to play with, after days of me whining about one-offs.
OA
TI: fierce arguments between groups about the fate of the trees in Florida coastline
Also CHIASM – MANGROVE
TI: the X marks the spot under the trees
MANGROVE ECHOISM*
*In MW
MISCHARGE-EVENSONG
Masochism Mangrove
Hemangiomas scrive/scriven. OED /MW but not LB
Nice!
Thanks
Schism Mangrove.
And I was surprised it was the OA! There were so many streets to go down with these letters, but there was a stop sign at the end of each for me. I stayed with it longer than I would have bc I could feel something might show up with all these possibilites. 🙂
Love gone awry under the branches.
CHARIVARIS/SONGMEN
Good one!
Really like that one!
chevrons-sigma
Machoism Mangrove
mischarge – envenom or evensong
Machoism Mangrove
Schism Mangrove. My fastest solve yet!
CHEVRONS – SIGMA (13/2) after CHROMOSOME disappointment…
