The answers are:
PERFECTTABLOID
PERFECT TAILBOARD. Lame, but it worked.
OA +
(PRETER)PERFECT—TABLOID/TAILBOARD
BEATIFIC—CLAPBOARD/CLIPBOARD
☕
BEATIFIC – CLIPBOARD
Pearly gate-check.
BEATIFIC – CLAPBOARD
Holywood siding.
Love those TIs THIS!
😇
Took me awhile to finish off CLIPBOARD. But finally saw BEATIFIC. Looked like it would be a really fast pair with only EFT left over, but the E being next to the D was a big speed bump.
Indeed, Beatific Clapboard / Clipboard. Blessed be the siding. And the checklist.
Beatific — Clapboard, too
Precordial lifeboat
Not very elegant
same. ALIOW 🙃
metaphor for cardiac defibrillator 💓
…although it not actually ALIOW (All Letters In One Word)
✔ That ALIOW is the holy grail!
The 12/1.
There are other rarities; 13/1, 14/1, ..
👍
Sorry—but did I miss someone’s ALIOW today?
OA for me, but it came painfully.
Goodness, I never realized there could be an alternative meaning for ALIOW!
Us old-timers invented it as shorthand for “at least it’s over with”!
Precordial Lifeboat
Yup
PRECORDIAL-LIFEBOAT
was my rather cumbersome solution as well.
Same
That’s ok. I got that too. Whatever works!
PRECORDIAL-LIFEBOAT
PREFECT-TAILBOARD
BEATIFIC-CLAPBOARD
PARABOLOIDAL—LATICIFER
Good find! I toyed with PARABOLOIDAL for a few minutes but couldn’t find a match. I ended up with the OA today.
Thanks Tom, I knew PARABOLOIDAL since I do a lot of geometrical things, but I had to look up LATICIFER. ✔👍
This was my answer, which is funny because I used PARABOLOID last week as a solution as well.
Nice!
Oa.
perfect – tabloid
I had PREFECT-TABLOID.
Me too!
Me too
Perfect-Tabloid. Enquiring minds want to know!
Got the OA. But with “4” word solution d days, I usually expect there will be a plethora of solutions using not uncommon words.
OA. Found lots of other good words too. As I guess most of you did.
OBLITERATE
CODIFIER
More plans from Project 2025!
FRETBOARD-DIPLOIC*
*DIPLOIC in Merriam-Webster, OED and Scrabble US (TWL) but not LB
*FLIPBOARD-DIETETIC
*FLIPBOARD in OED but not LB
BEATIFIC — CLAPBOARD
Found BOARD, then CLAPBOARD, and had no luck connecting the D
Also found TETRAPLOID, but couldn’t connect that either.
OA
PREFECT TABLOID
Also tried FLIPBOARD* DICTATE — *(Scrabble, OED etc)
Precordial – Lifeboat, the long way around but I’ll take it FTW!
I was looking for a C ending word forever to use clipboard but I got perfect tabloid and gave up. Beatific. Yep.
Boatload, Codpiece, Diabetic, Participate… no dice.
Crabtrap and crabdip not acceptable
Fail 😩
Ah, Bruce. The joy is in the hunt, and I’d say you unearthed a pile of treasures today.
Agree, took me forever to find beatific clipboard/ clapboard after finding the individual words much earlier. I like the grind more than the lightning solve. Saw many great words
Thanks Molly, the hunt is indeed fun, but after an investment of an hour I desperately need a payoff and validation. 😁🤪
PARABOLIC-CODIFIER
Just realized I left out the T!
My favorite three word answer was FRETBOARD – DIABOLIC – CODPIECE. Sounds like a description of a Manowar album cover.
But I also got BEATIFIC – CLAPBOARD
