LABRUMMIDPOINT
LABRUM—MIDPOINT
MOUNTAINTOP—PARABOLOIDAL
Darn! I had MOUNTAINTOP and PARABOLA but didn’t think how to add a suffix. I guess I was on AUTOPILOT playing BADMINTON with a MINOTAUR who happens to be my ADMIN.
Glad you were able to PINPOINT those Tom.
I did a PRINTOUT of all the chemical elements I saw. With the UM ending available today there was a TRAINLOAD of them: BARIUM, DUBNIUM, INDIUM, IRIDIUM, POLONIUM, RADIUM.
Labrum Midpoint
Took awhile
I went with the extremely inefficient
MOUNTAINTOP—PARABOLOIDAL
even though I didn’t really need that final AL.
Yes, but it’s a “taller” mountain with the AL.
Mountaintop Paraboloid
Same
Same, and one of my least efficient answers ever.
Same, definitely an ALIOW.
Laburnum midpoint
ALBUMINOID – DIOPTRAL*.
Tried that, didn’t work, hence the asterisk, I assume. Neither did dioptra, which should have.
Really fiendish letter placements, not allowing tion, am, an, or.
Hi Irim. Some of the symbols used by some to denote different dictionaries:
* : Scrabble
° : OED
^ : Merriam-Webster
MOUNTAINTOP — PARABOLOID
Found MOUNT, MOUNTAIN, and then MOUNTAINTOP
I found PARABOLA earlier but that left the D, so I tried PARABOLOID (even though LB usually doesn’t like the OID suffix).
OA,
ALBUMINOID-DIOPTRAL*
*DIOPTRAL good in Merriam-Webster, OED and Scrabble US (TWL) but not in LB
OA. But definitely took awhile. Came up with very few 6+ letter words on the way. UNIPOLAR, ALBUMIN, MOUNTAIN, and MINOTAUR and IMPOUND were the only things I had before seeing LABRUM and happily being able to finish it.
Same experience as Matt.
MONOPOLAR also accepted, but led nowhere.
PATRIA – ALBUMINOID
NONTRUMP* PARABOIDAL (*MW)
Had… Mountaintop, Printout, Rainout, Outlaid, Outpoint, Imprint, Impart, Inbound, Untold, Unblind, Barium, Albarium, Labrat but couldn’t close the deal
Close with…
Printout – Tabloid (no M)
Mountaintop – Parboil (no D)
Mountaintop – Parbola (no D)
Mountainlion, Burialmound were compound words.
MONOPRINT TABLOID DUMB
Found a fun word: MONOPRIONIDIAN but the final N didn’t work.
Nontrump*-Paraboloid
*(not accepted by LB)
Finished on MOUNTAINTOP-PARABOLOID
TRUMP-PAID-DUMB-BLOND
by far my favorite today!
Love this!
This is hilarious. Love it. Hope you stick with the puzzle and the site. Can’t wait to see what else you com up with.
alburnum-midpoint
Indeed! Stellar work by Bob F. For my part, got the OA Labrum Midpoint. The cartilage tore just there.
I thought I’d be the only one with MOUNTAINTOP – PARABOLOID but it seems we all arrived at the arched summit together!
MOUNTAINTOP – PARABOLOID
Burlap (mid)Point
yah, I know. I finally gave up somewhere in the middle there. Guess its sackcloth and ashes for me today.
Parabola was one of my first words, had mountaintop and really liked tabloid but never took the “oid” over the mountain and down in the valley. Also, midbrain worked as well as midpoint. And those are some words we had in common today.
