    1. I “WENT” with WENT-TECHNOGRAPHY. After finding TECHNOGRAPHY, only the W was left so there are lots of options for a first word.

  1. REWRAP—PHOTOCHRONOGRAPHY

    photochronography, n. Originally: an early form of cinematography as developed by the Frenchman E. J. Marey (1830–1904) (now historical); also called chronophotography…

    1. Love this one! Adding Wonga to my list!

      Went through so many -graphy’s and hypo’s. Finally got OA which feels like vengeance after yesterday’s solution. Not getting that time back, but you now, folks call me obsessive and I can’t disagree 🙂

    2. Such a fun answer, Nitesh!
      I settled for Wretch Hypogean (it’s not easy being a Morlock) and Cowrote Ethnography (see, eg, Mead and Bateson).

    3. Hey Nitesh!
      same for me …

      i looked up “wonga” in the OED online – “money” … OED dates it only to 1984 but the longer version “wonga-wonga” back to 1821 … and the root “wong” back to Old English and Germanic.

  2. COWPEA — ANTHROPOGRAPHY

    Also saw PATHOGEN, PHYTOPATHOGEN, PHOTOGRAPHY, PHOTOTYPOGRAPHY but couldn’t connect them.

    1. LB didn’t accept TYPOGRAPHY or APPGRAPHY alone but took PANTOGRAPHY and all the others that left me with letters I just couldn’t put together today! Lost my mojo 🙁

      1. Adding on:
        EARWORT—, HEARTWORT—, HOGWORT—, HONEWORT—, and PEWTERWORT—TECHNOGRAPHY.

        I think I verified all. ☕

          1. I found them with a database search. I verified some of them in LB; and good thing, as there were a lot of invalids, for a variety of reasons:

            wort, worth, worthy, catwort, earwort, hogwort, potwort, ragwort, tapwort, cocowort, enworthy, hoarwort, honewort, tentwort, caperwort, grapewort, greenwort, heartwort, pennywort, peterwort, poppywort, preworthy, throwwort, towerwort, worrywort, noteworthy, pennyworth, pepperwort, pewterwort, tetterwort, throatwort, trophywort, honorworthy, thegnworthy, threepennyworth.

  3. A solve for the first time in 3 days – Took longer than I expected given that there are thousands of possible words with that letter array. Kept pounding away at GRAPH words and finally got COWROTE-ETHNOGRAPHY. Memo to Sam – TOCOGRAPH(Y) and CAPNOGRAPH(Y) are both legit words. And while LB accepts CHRONOTROPIC or CHRONOTROPHY, it denies CHRONOTROPE. Drugs such as Isoproterenol and Dobutamine are known as Chronotropes. Rant over.

    1. Hi Matt, your comment prompted me to search for *GRAPH*. I did not check them for LB validity. Just posting them out of curiosity, and I left the double-letter constraint off. ☕☕

      1. What did you do the search in? I noticed that neither of my hospital based monitors – toco for baby’s heartbeat and Capno for CO2 levels are included in this list either.

        1. It’s a personal word list that I maintain. It is constantly growing thanks to all the LB solutions people come up with. I’ll be adding the two you mentioned to it. Thanks.

  4. Probably a one-off solve with Wotcher — Renography. After much time with all the other “graphy” words I backed into that with the guess of Wotcher.

  5. Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
