Also, I was shocked it took ACROSTICHOID.
Kitsch- Hydrothorax here as well. Another very prolonged effort though. Even after finding hydro thorax. Dockyards is pretty obscure, especially compared to stockyards. My kind of town Chicago is…

STOCKYARDS-SIXTH here immediately.
RF and Kanishk, can’t wait to see you, my lovelies!
Good luck, everyone, and happy Tuesday.
Failed. My 4th in a row.
Well done Miss Irim. Checking on Kanishk-boy later.
Don’t want to come across as mean but is it perhaps time for a change to a duumvirate?
Stockyards & Sixth
Not the OA but close enough!
Same here. Very quickly after a couple of tough days
Absolutely! Glad to finally get a good answer (Stockyards — Sixth) after an awful couple of days with unknown words. Argh!
Same solution after putting LB down for a while to go live my life. Funny how a break can help clear the brain.
KITSCH HYDROTHORAX
Ditto. KITSCH HYDROTHORAX
Also KYDST* TAXIARCHOS**
*Samuel Johnson’s Dictionary
**In Ancient Greece, a commander of a taxis (an infantry battalion or tactical division). In modern Greece, a brigadier general.
KITSCH HYDROTHORAX
HYDROCRACKS SIXTY
*HYDROCRACKS is a viable Scrabble word, but not accepted by LB.
Also got the ‘KITSCH’ one, working for some acceptable answer with the ‘HYDRO’ affix
Dockyards sixth after letting go of stockyards and yardsticks and I STILL will prob go back to them again.
Hahahaha! Stockyards sixth- didn’t even see it the first time.🤣
Hoaxists(urban dictionary) stockyard(s)
STOCKYARDS SIXTH, but only after looking at a word-check site thinking I must be missing an obvious link for YARDSTICK(S).
Jays link- wow. Even Hal didn’t get that one.after looking up storax you can’t call it obscure but it’s about as far from obvious as can be!
