GRANDPAANATOMICAL
GRANDPA—ATOMICAL
Official
Oops, not quite official..
I got the official first (before trying without AN), and thought it was pretty odd and funny on its own.
Nay, BETTER than the official! And my answer as well.
GNOMIC—CARD—DIP—PLOT
PARD—DIG—GNOMIC—CLOT
GNOMIC—CAT—TOLD—DROP
DOLT—TAG—GNOMIC—CROP
CLOMP—PONG—GATOR—RID

PACT—TANG—GRIM—MOLD
Grandpa Atomical
… Cause, after all, he’s a boomer.
I’m in the (non-an) atomical camp as well!
Same. These are typically the toughest ones for me to crack. I can sense there are probably no 13/2 solutions to be found, and I keep struggling with long-winded combinations, especially when ANTI-s, MICRO-s, -NOMICs & -ATIONs get involved. Words I went through include CARDIGAN, PLACID, MIGRATION(AL), PICTORIAL, MORAL, TOPICAL, IMPACTOR, GLAND, DIGITAL, MORGANATIC, PLOD, PLAID, (IM)PLANT, (NON)CAPITAL, CLAIM, OMICRON, IMPLORATION, POLARIC, and CARANGID.
Official. Thought about whittling it down but left it.
Also MITIGATION, PLACARD while wandering in thickets of prefixes/suffixes. . .
Another very constrained solution set, I suspect. GRANDPA – ATOMICAL is probably as efficient as it gets. GRANDPAPA – ANATOMICAL is a longer play, with the official in the middle.
Today’s birds: DODO, MOTMOT, TOMTIT.
GRANDPOP – PALMITIC
Pagandom-microanatomical
I spent a long time on Migration/al and thought placid would help. Then words ending in dom.
Yes I realized I could shorten microanatomical to atomical and anatomical but I had already found pagandom so I stopped.
Speaking of words that end in -dom…
PIGDOM(!) – MICROTONAL
Yes, Pigdom! I failed to pair it, though.
These DICTATORIAL ideas of the LB-Editor always leave me with RANDOM GAPs. Why can’t I OMIT this GIGANTIC CRAP? I feel like a PIG with a brain as small as an ALMOND, filled with PARANOIA! One day my LANDLORD will find me with a CRITICAL CARDIAC arrest, passing away in the quest for a MICRODOT in an ATOMICAL GRID. The ARID NOTARIAL assessmant will read: His heart was TORN in a TOPICAL PLOT.
Bravo!!
🙂
Super! I was stuck looking for something cardio . . . for a while– you’ve captured the frustration perfectly.
That’s the spirit, HLG!
Morganatic Cropland
pagandom – microtonal
Launching a fixed array of letters, which I’ll be comparing with the puzzles day-to-day, tracking my progress at LBF as we go. There’s not a chance of hitting the 40 points reverse bonus (as all vowels are present in it) but, at least, I’m likely to be scoring heavily whenever the exotic Xs, Js, Qs, and Zs take center stage:
RZU AIX VEN JOQ (bear with me, DW, as it had to be a one-trick pony 😉 ).
Pagandom-microanatomical. Not sure where my previous post went.
Spent too much time on migration/ al. But it led me to pagandom and my solution. Placard and placid did not work for me.
GRANDPA-ATOMICAL
Failed again.
Almost a double whammy. Eventually got LB pangram
Pagandom-Microtonal
ANDIDONTALGIC*–CRIMP
* Not even a Scrabble word, but by ‘gum,’ it’s a legit word (believe me, I know). I’m taking it.
sorry: that’s ANTIDONTALGIC
Velocity Yakuza
Very quickly solved today which restores my faith because lately I’ve been tediously slow
