MUCHOOBLIGATION
I did get the official answer quickly, but only tried it on a lark.
Quite surprised that ‘mucho’ is accepted.
I’m hoping someone will find a partner for HUMILIATION.
I followed the same path. Couldn’t find a partner for humiliation, and astounded that mucho was accepted.
Same. Unbelievable. Even more shocked it was official. Congratulations to everyone who found something other than the official today.
Likewise. It turns out that MUCHO is a playable Scrabble word. I don’t see any prospect of a mate for HUMILIATION, but would love to stand corrected!
I too longed for a match with HUMILIATION as it seems so fitting for this daily task! I did spot COAGULATION, and had spotted THUMB earlier, so I’m a bit miffed at missing ANTICOAGULANT, but alas, finally stumbled onto the official and had a WTF moment?!
Stay warm tonight all my northeast friends!!!
I’m guessing that particular someone has got to be the dominant type, right? 😉
Heh. Many of us (I suspect) find ourselves unwilling partners for humiliation too frequently! (or is it just me?)
timbal long gulch
BULIMIA – ANTHOLOGIC.
Tried to find someone to work with MONOLITHIC but couldn’t
Yes, I omitted ANTHOLOGIC, which was also among my no-goers; well done for making it work, DHW.
GALBANUM – MONOLITHIC
ANTICOAGULANT-THUMB, fell down the hole of-TION but reached some dead ends
ANTICOAGULANT – THUMB for the scenic route 🙂
Yep, that’s me too. Wanted ANTICOAGULATION to make it, but had to shave off an affix.
MUCHO – OBLIGANT 13/2 (AKA much obliged?). THANG, BATCH, BLANC, MONTH, ALONG, BLUNT, ANALOGIC, THUMB, GNOMIC, LOGICIAN, GUMBO, CLIMB, LONGBOAT, COMBAT, UNLOGIC, and HUMIC were conducive to eventual success. An informal tribute is also to be paid to the usual suspect, the NUMBAT with CHLIAGON (rejected) – NUMBAT (a polygon with a numbat on each vertex).
*CHILIAGON
all HAIL the LOGICIAN NUMBAT
Well, if it isn’t our old friend the Numbat, back for another round!
I too had Mucho Obligant for 13/2, improving on the official 15/2 answer.
As an addendum to Sota’s excellent list (I especially like Gnomic), I offer Chimichanga, Alcoholic, Chocoholic, Bongo, Column, Gulch, Gigantic, Hangnail, Humbug, and Cogitation.
Oooh! I, in turn, dig CHIMICHANGA (in more ways than one); stellar, Bernie!
(Inspired by my recent trip to Australia, and today’s word finds)
LANDSCAPE DOWN UNDER
‘Cross the giant outback, beneath a hot sun,
Seeming monolithic as a chiliagon column,
Is a humic gulch where the numbats run,
Gnomic as an obligant logician’s thumb.
So many assorted words gracefully woven into a single stanza; top-drawer stuff once again, Jill! Would you, by any chance, have crossed paths with a numbat? 😁
I wish! But they (and the wombats and echidnas) steered clear of our human invasion. The wallabies, however, were plentifully present on Bruny Island.
Indeed, I was delighted to find Chimichanga! – so taken with it that it took me forever to finally admit it was unpairable. And even now I’m not truly convinced it can’t be salvaged!
BUNCH – HOMOLOGATION
Sustainable practices amongst banana farms?
Not sure why this is awaiting moderation…
Mucho Obligation
anticoagulant- thumb
Same as Robin. When you stop bleeding with your digit?
BUNCH-HOMOLOGATION
Getting lots of new car models certified for sale all at the same time.
Bunch homologation for me too
💐🏠🪵🏳️🌈🙅♂️
Tried to make coagulation work but gave up
I finally found ANTICOAGULANT,THUMB after failing with COAGULATION.
Along the way I found NONCHALANT,THUMB (missing I G) So a hitch-hiker who doesn’t care if they get a ride.
I was disappointed that the lunchbag in COMITAL LUNCHBAG was not accepted.
Interesting that Scrabble accepts ‘lunchbox’ but not ‘lunchbag.’
Mucho Obligation, after spending way too long on Coagulation and Humiliation. 😛
I was so proud of myself for getting “lumbago” that I could not be bothered to try much else and finally gave up.
I take Advil when I get LUMBAGO.
I need an Advil for the headache I got from a self-administered dope slap for missing Lumbago, always on my short list! Too dazzled by the Numbat’s reappearance, I guess.
Anticoagulant and thumb
Waiting for a table look what I found BULIMIA ANTHOLOGIC
For some reason I’ve been striking out every six days, and finally gave up after searching forever with:
MONOLITHIC
CUMULATION
LIMITATION
LITIGATION
HUMILIATION
COAGULATION
NONALCOHOLIC
BULIMIC
HANGNAIL
HUMBUG
That last one sums up my feelings for MUCHO – OBLIGATION as the official. 😒
