    1. And there I was messing around with TZAR- words. Didn’t think of the other way to spell it. Given how often those spellings come up in crosswords, I really should have seen that.

  1. Annoying again. CHRISTMAS was not accepted, why? And as far as I know and as it is confirmed by Google Translator, the official spelling of the solution is TSARISM, not CZARISM. MIRTHFUL might be a familiar word for those whose mother tongue is English, but I guess it’s a rather uncommon word again, isn’t it? After all I went with CHARISMA-AZIMUTH-HARMFUL. Not exactly a happy end, but a threeer is still a good result in my opinion.

    1. CHRISTMAS is a proper noun; the word list excludes those, as does Scrabble’s. TSAR and CZAR are both correct transliterations of царь using different systems, but the second system has fallen into disfavour, so you don’t see CZAR as often as you used to.

      1. Thank you DW, I appreciate, especially your explanation about the CZAR/TSAR. That CHRISTMAS is a proper noun seems odd to me. But okay, I’m here to learn. Think I need an armful of Schlitz now.

        1. Oh hlg thought i might be able to get my armfuls of Shlitz first as that is how i spent a lot of my teen years but kudos to you

    2. Hey HLG-I agree-threebies can be admirable! Each day is different and ultimately the puzzle is supposed to be fun (the comments certainly are! and I imagine so is the Schlitz)

  2. I sense another one-hit wonder today. I had high hopes for AZIMUTH(S) and SHAZAM before spotting CZARIST then CZARISM and went from there. (I correctly anticipated that the game would reject a throwback to my youth: ARMFULS of SCHLITZ.)

    As a nod to Sota’s LBF, my new riff on the game will be to identify any birds I can find in the puzzle. Today’s find is FULMAR, a.k.a. the skunk of the sea.

    1. AZIMUTH is exactly what makes it not a one-hit wonder. According to the solver, FULCRA – AZIMUTH (FULCRA is pl. for FULCRUM).

          1. I don’t think you have ruined the game. Anyone who defaults to a solver isn’t really enjoying it anyway. But now that you mention this site, it came up a few years ago when I started playing LB and was looking for a way to check the official solutions without having to wait until the next day. At that time Norton flashed all kinds of warnings about it, so I didn’t go back to it. I see that this is no longer the case. Seems whoever maintains the site has plugged its security holes. I wonder what word list they use, though?

          2. I used to go there – to the Solver – before finding this page. I just HAD to know the answer(s) so I could get on with my day!

          3. (Reply to DW, 4:00 PM). They apparently compartmentalize: The top section includes words expected to be compatible with the LB word list, while the segment below generally comprises those expected to go through the sieve.

      1. Yes, that’s what I found: FULCRA–AZIMUTH. I didn’t use a solver though. I promise, I’m not savvy or hip enough to find or create one.

          1. Right, KP; &, even if AZIMUTH occurs to you, having to think plural makes the solution all the more elusory. So, well played!

      1. Digested seafood effluent. These birds are known for flying close alongside ships and belching. Very unpleasant; I experienced it once.

  3. Well, after much machinations and different attempts with TZARIST, CZARISTS, TZARISM and CZARISM and even finding FULCRA in the process but missing AZIMUTH, I finally landed on the official. Sometimes you just have to slog away at it!

  4. Bernie Horowitz

    Official again. Surprised (again) there’s a good alternative in Fulcra Azimuth! Two words I MIGHT have found — in a year or two.

  5. If I don’t see a two-word solution right off, I usually go for a threeby, just to satisfy my LB itch so I can come back later. Today I got stuck at LIRA-AZIMUTHS-SCARF. Re-visiting, I saw CZARISM and felt the partner would be M-XXX-FUL but couldn’t progress further. 🙄
