OA here – took just under 10 minutes, as I was initially looking for ‘ify’ endings.

Well done, RF!! Even with a biology degree, it took me a hot minute to see it.
Well done, everyone.
Failed. Today marks the end of my 13 day streak, my longest ever. I was unable to find a valid solution despite seeing CRAFT and THYMUS.
21/24, 48/55
I did not know mystific was a word till just this second!
OA for me. Took awhile though. Not sure why anyone outside the medical profession would know what the thymus is. It’s biggest contribution is being the source of the antibodies that cause Myasthenia Gravis. 53/55, 24/24, 27

OA, got thymus early but took a while before looking for craft combos
Found witchcraft quickly but not familiar with the second word so never got a match.
OA but not quickly.
Often enough, I’ll note the words that LB doesn’t accept. This time, it’s that the MW Scrabble word finder doesn’t accept WITCHCRAFT.
Crazy, eh?
OA
