GODPARENTTOUCH
NEPHROGONADUCT° 14/1
🙂
Webster: nephrogonaduct, n. a nephridium that serves as a gonoduct.
GRANDAUGHTER REPRODUCE
How to get a great grandchild
Maybe they used the
PREGNANT—TOUCHPAD
😉
TOUCHPAD-DANGER! if its associated with pregnancy 🤪
😊
😄
Really good! I didn’t see either word until I read this.
Wow! a one word solution that can actually be connected in the LB grid AND is actually in the two main dictionaries! Cool beanz!
Fantastic find!
😎
I thought about countering with OCTAHEDRONGROUP
but that fails after the first letter.
PS – OED seems to say that nephrogonaduct has only appeared once in published material, in 1883.
OED’s definition is a bit more discernible than Webster’s. OED has “Nephrogonaduct is a noun that means a duct connecting the kidney and the gonad, but it is no longer used. It was only recorded …”.
PPS: Wordnik, citing The Century Dictionary, has “The nephridium of a mollusk when it serves as a gonaduct. See idiogonaduct”
The Century Dictionary has quite a history and influence:

😎🐝
Thorough research, McBee! And thanks for those links, as I only checked OED and MW. ☕
i’m just glad that you found a 1’er … i had given up on even looking for them lately!
now we know they are there!!!
😎
A one-word wonder – what a shame LB refused it!
As for me, selecting from a plethora: Tapdancer Rough (James Cagney); Changeup Product (it’s New and Improved, although how it can be both remains unanswered); Grandaughter Reproduce (where great-grandkids come from); and Dreadnought Tapdance (lobbying for the new warship) followed by Dreadnaught Touchup (after the shakedown cruise).
Sorry and shamefaced not to have spotted the OA. It turns pumpkins into coaches!
Also Dragonet Touchup, when the little fishy needs a makeover.
May I add UPCHARGE – ENDNOTE fairly swift find to add to Today’s iterations!
DREADNAUGHT–TOUCHUP was mine. I don’t know what’s more surprising to me: that TOUCHUP wasn’t disqualified because it should be hyphenated, or that I managed to spell DREADNAUGHT correctly on the first try.
Anyway, good TI here, whether you’re talking about naval vessels or acoustic guitars.
I got the same after I was SURE daughter fit in there somewhere
I’ve had a feeling for awhile now that a one-worder was overdue. I guess it was too technical to make the LB cut. Many OEDs have the same fate it seems. A versatile array nonetheless though.
Great work!
Neither LB or the OED like GONADOTROPH, but I know that it is a solid term in biology.
Choreograph handout
Likewise.
CHOREOGRAPH / HANDOUT
Took a while…
Same
DREADNOUGHT—TOPNOTCH
🚢-🔝
REGENT – TOUCHPAD
I’ll second that. Mark just when i thought i could not be more impressed with this forum someone comes up with something like that one worder and i discover how wrong i was.
OA.
Also Grandparent Touch.
GRANDPARENT – TOUCH.
DREADNOUGHT
TAPDANCE
DROUGHT -TAPDANCE Here in New England I’d do any kind of dance if it would stop the rain.
Grandparent Touch
Very quickly for a change
Same here!
DREADNOUGHT – TAPDANCE
UPDRAUGHT-TECHNO
(Was trying for Draught- technopop but it didn’t like technopop)
CHANGEUP – PRODUCT
TI: when the shopper has to make a substitution in your grocery item
Hi CR – my solution might be the sequel to yours:
UPCHARGE ENDNOTE
TI: they charge you a lot more for making that substitution and the shopper documents it in very fine print at the bottom of the receipt.
😎🐝
CHANGEUP-PRODUCT here too. I went to the store for one thing but came back with something else.
Here too. Very happy to see changeup accepted
I got changeup-portend
Drought Tapdance
DROUGHT – TAPDANCE
A rainmaking ceremony?
I was beginning to think I had a unique solution–not easy around these parts!
Tapdancer – Rough…
He grew up hard on these city streets, but all he ever really wanted to do was dance!
The actual Jimmy Cagney story!
Great solution, and theme, Kay and Judy! 🙂
TAPDANCER—ROUGH for me. I was thinking of the sand dancing though.
PARDNER ROUGHCUT.
Not sure I want to partner with this joker…
On the way here I found Touchup Pregnant Tod, but that was just getting weird 🙁
😂😂
CHANGEUP PRODUCT
CHANGEUP PRODUCT
CHANGEUP PRODUCTOR
HANGAR REPRODUCTOR
HANGER REPRODUCTOR
Changeout-Teardrop
This was my answer as well.
CHANGEUP – PRODUCT
Swing and a miss.
Yer Out!
I got THROUGHOUT TAPDANCE!
CHANGEUP—PORTEND
Uh-oh, I think they’re gonna bring in Pedro Martinez (back in the day). ⚾
This was my solution as well.
DRAGONET – TOUCHUP
CHOREOGRAPH — HANDOUT
DREADNOUGHT — TOUCHUP
Played around with CHAPERONAGE, CHRONOGRAPH, and PERCENTAGE
would be very interesting to see a DREADNOUGHT – TAPDANCE
that would be!!! 👍
😎
Dragnet-Touchpad
Same
ECHOGRAPH-HANDOUT
Hopefully to only those on the consent form.
Touchpad Dragnet.
This one goes both ways, which is always fun!
THROUGHPUT – TENDANCE
Pretty quick today.
Dreadnought – touchup
Those types of guitars (dreadnoughts) have a nice sound.
Changeup – product
Foul ball!
Reminds me that hubby caught a foul ball in the stands from Pedro Martinez (saw your comment, Mark) to Ryan Zimmerman
Dragnet touchup
CTENOPOD* – DAUGHTER
No way to attach a picture, but the image of a ctenopod daughter caught my fancy.
https://bugguide.net/node/view/553788
I never cease to learn new things with this game!
CTENOPHORAN is accepted, but the only connection that I can see is NONGRADUATE which LB does not like (and it is a hyphenated word in the OED).
throughput-tapdance
GROUPCHAT*-TEND
For those of us living in 2024 (not lb apparently!)
Regent
Touchpad
OA
Surprised nobody found
Echograph – handout
Prancer -Readthrough
-Like the reindeer
-The first meeting when rehearsing a play
I saw “necrophage” instantly but couldn’t find a word to go with it 🙁
REPUGNANT -TOUCHPAD
Took awhile. But happy to have finally found an answer.
Worth waiting for, Matt. My favorite answer of the day. Those things are filthy!
