    1. Well, that certainly makes more sense (and elegance) than my CALIFORNIUM–MUDFLAT. But I’m still proud of my solution—for its absurdity, if nothing else.
      Probably goes without saying, but it all fell into place when I started experimenting with -IUM words. Didn’t seem right to abandon CALIFORNIUM when it took up so much of the board.

  1. OA here. Feeling fenced in, and peeved I coudn’t link Court and Manifold.

    Other answers here are much better than OA!

  2. OMG I’m so relieved. Finally got the OA. Spent hours on this.

    Words I found: CLAIMANT, COMICAL, CRIMINAL, FANFIC, FRONTMAN, COLOUR, MORTAL, INFORMAL, NOCTURNAL, INFORMANT, CONCUR, CONTROL, ACRID, TRIFID, NORMAL, FRONTAL, FACTUAL, FINAL, ANIMATRONIC, MICROFILM, DOMINIUM, CONDOMINIUM, MANIAC/AL, TALCUM, LACONIC, OUTMAN, MONOMANIAC/al, TRIFORM, DIAMOND and MANIFOLD.

    1. Same. Spent hours.
      conflictual-landform.
      Trifocal, trifold, microfilm, microloan, monomaniacal, condominium, matrimonial, manifold, curtail, colorific, mudflat.

  3. Some anagram groups found:
    CALAMI, CAMAIL
    MANTA, MANAT, ATMAN
    AMNIA, ANIMA, MANIA
    Interesting comparing definitions of ATMAN and ANIMA.

    Today’s colors: ALMOND #EFDECD, CORN #FBEC5D, FINN* #683068, FLIRT #A2006D, LILAC #C8A2C8, MINT #3EB489, TAN #D2B48C

    Today’s atoms: CALCIUM ₂₀Ca, CALIFORNIUM ₉₈Cf, CURIUM ₉₆Cm, INDIUM ₄₉In, IRIDIUM ₇₇Ir, IRON ₂₆Fe

    Notable animal: CALIFORNIA* CONDOR

    * unaccepted word

  4. Fourth OA in a row for me – I think I’ve entered some kind of mind-meld with Ezersky, which frightens me — I don’t want to walk around using words like OXLIP and DIPTYCH in everyday conversation! 😬😱

    Got stuck trying to get INFORMANT, CRIMINAL, and TRICOLOUR to work, as well as finding anything I could append ~FRONT to –CLOUDFRONT certainly feels like it should be a thing and would’ve been extremely efficient today!

  5. (Peter, thanks for the word list!!)

    THE MUGSHOT

    Imagine a monomaniacal sneer.
    No repentant sigh nor mortal fear
    But a final, acrid conman’s leer.

    No nocturnal thief of the Nixon clan
    Nor mortal regrets of some moral man;
    But Talmudic* parsing of a mountain of text
    Will inform us of what might be coming next.

    Animatronic clones, perverse!
    The informants fold, and then reverse.
    It’s the end of that fanfic universe.

    Manifold arguments, legal maps
    Comprise a domain of factual facts.
    So simply his criminal conduct, perhaps
    Can suffice. Which leaves us to ask:

    What verdict will follow that maniac’s sneer
    As a criminal hijacks a sacred year,
    And the diamonds of justice grind into gear?

    August 26 words: monomaniacal, mortal, acrid, final, conman, nocturnal, moral, Talmudic, mountain, inform, animatronic, informant, fanfic, manifold, map, domain, factual, fact, criminal, maniac, diamond

      1. Thx!– if I have time I’m going to revise and expand, to include californium, dictum, conflict, and a few of the other great finds from the group.

  6. Ugh… I spent way too long trying to find any L starting words other than LIMINAL. And I just cannot believe LANDFORM is an actual FACTUAL compound word. I’ve always thought only land formations was correct. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Oh, also, I wanted CORNFLOUR, DICTUM, and MATRIMONIAL all to work. Alas.

  7. Never got anywhere near the OA or any of the ingenious efficient, TI-rich alternatives presented here. I just plugged stuff in until a solution, however dubious, appeared. Hence: Californium Monodont, Confirmand Diurnal, Confirmand Ductal – and those are some of the BETTER ones!
    Found and abandoned: Criminal, Doctrinal, Filmland, Filmdom, Matrimonial, Talcum, Tantric, Tantrum…
