LAWS of SOCIOGRAPHY

WRAP — PHYSIOLOGIC
WRAP — PHYSIOLOGICAL
PHYSIOGRAPHIC — CRAWL
HYPSOGRAPHIC — CRAWL
Spent loads of time with -OGRAPHY words (RYPAROGRAPHY, PHYSIOGRAPHY, POLAROGRAPHY, HAPLOGRAPHY, HYPSOGRAPHY, etc.) but they all left the same letters and the Y eliminated connecting at the end.
Then it dawned on me to replace the Y with IC and that yielded PHYSIOGRAPHIC and HYPSOGRAPHIC (LB refused RYPAROGRAPHIC!) so I used the C to pair with CRAWL
Plain ole OA here. A lot of creative solutions here, as always!
Found APOCRYPHAL but got me nowhere.
Ended with WRAP-PHYSIOLOGIC
Orograohical lawsy
LAYAWAYS – SOCIOGRAPHIC
Long but finally found my way!
Always Sociographic
orographical – layaways
Pyrographic craws
GOT OA! (pretty quickly) WRAP – PHYSIOLOGICAL
HYGROGRAPHIC* CRAWLS
GRAPHICAL – LOGWAYS*
HYGROPHILIC* – CAWS
ARGYROPHILIC – CAWS
Not OA , but after found sociography it was game over. Take your pick of awls,laws,crawls,scrawls,shawls,wails
Another PYROGRAPHIC – CRAWLS.
Guessed on PYROGRAPH early, had to circle back when I realized I could extend it to PYROGRAPHIC (but not PYROGRAPHICAL, unfortunately. Got to CRAWLS pretty quickly after that.
Fun seeing many alternate solutions today!
Happy to say, I found the OA. Didn’t go further but congrats to all those with creative answers.
CRINKLED DAUPHIN.
DAUPHIN was a guess based on half-remembering DAUPHINOISE.
WRAP PHYSIOLOGIC
Wrap – Physiologic
Wrap Physiologic
So many -OLOGY, -OLOGICAL, -OSOPHY words but eventually OA.
