        1. cowards sequin
          was the answer I actually got.
          And my first thought was about people trying to make laws dictating who can and can’t read to kids at the library. I was hesitant to include this cause of it’s political nature. But a little glitter on the carpet after storytime is nothing to be afraid of.

          1. You did not disappoint! I love if looks could kill. Not sure if this expression translates for the international folks.
            We occasionally stray into the political but not banning books seems like both common sense and a battle we already fought and won.😔

          2. Oops my mind went in the wrong direction ….yes I would hope anyone and everyone would be allowed to read aloud to kids.

          3. Yah, sorry. I wasn’t trying to write a riddle or anything:
            “Feb 23, 2023 (Reuters) – Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill on Thursday restricting drag performances in public or in front of children, putting the state at the forefront of a Republican-led effort to limit drag in at least 15 states in recent months.”

            The introduction of this particular anti-LGTBQ+ rights legislation, has it’s origins with an increase in political rhetoric about people dressed in situationally appropriate drag reading at story hours in public libraries.

            So it was fresh on my mind and I was bothered, but I wish I would have just said thank you and kept it light.

          4. On the flip side (some may as well argue it’s but the same side), operations are underway to surgically remove racial and sexist stereotypes from Dahl’s children’s literature, over in Great Britain -I mean, why not ban and replace it altogether?
            There are those who see the glass as half-full, those who see it as half-empty and, then, those who fear there’s something else seriously wrong with that glass…

    1. Here too. How is it not the official answer? Are the puzzle masters just throwing us a sop?
      Cowards Sequin – see George “If That’s His Name” Santos abjuring his drag persona Kitara…

    1. hey, hi, good morning. ☕ Did you get a chance to review my reply to you yesterday regarding WONKISH as adjective, and WONKISHLY as adverb?

      1. Wiktionary is generally less reliable than the well-established Oxford, Cambridge, Webster’s, & Collins, and I typically refer myself to it when the afore mentioned tetrad has failed me (as did the other day with BERNIE HOROWITZ’s SEVIR). However, they got it right that time, at least more than did
        https://www.thewordfinder.com/define/wonkish/
        which is what led me astray, apparently, treating what has to be an adjective as the noun WONK.
        All that said, the suffix -ISH is currently being markedly abused, misused and, in any case, overused (attached to practically any word, phrase or even notion you can think of), so that I think the game’s word list would correctly only accept WONKILY as a legit adverb, as long as the adj. WONKY is available.

        1. Agreed on Oxford, et al being the gold standard.

          Since you quoted Wiktionary on 2/23 for the “sevir” case I used the same dictionary.

          Some interesting data patterns I am observing.

    2. My attempt yesterday was a total fail. When I got cute and rearranged the letters I added an s and left out a letter. Even worse, I forget the second word. The first was haystack.
      Also, I think I only guessed four letters.

  1. Rather inefficient ACQUIESCERS – SNOWED, but I once I saw this I was happy enough to not try for a more efficient one. I probably could have done better if I could be bothered hehe.

  2. Well found cowards sequin quickly then saw official and went back with no success. Did find QUOAD while trying to make scrawnier work if that helps anyone. I could do nothing with it

    1. Also quick solve with cowards-sequin (if late in the day!).
      I love the conversation today. And I also appreciate the capacity of the official answer for narrative development.

  3. Got the SB pangram.
    Surprised that 8-letter pangram was not accepted.
    Are they also limiting their wordlist like LB…

      1. Sure, though it sounds like quite the billing to live up to! I actually don’t feel resilient or prolific enough to be coming up with a different set every day. What I’ll probably end up doing is stock up about a dozen of them and use them in rotation -or at random.
        I’m also cutting my self a bit of slack with my today’s scoring, which should actually be revised into 5/12 (instead of 4/12); ANYWHERE on the correct side is good enough and should be awarded a full point.
