        1. I see that this joke did not work.
          “Oops – Whitecap” was a correction and obviously not an answer. My mistake.
          Whitecap Parabola may be better describing Adams’s career.

          (I’m having a strange night.)

    1. Whelp Probatic
      Is what I got (I think what you meant?)
      But I got this by substituting an A when probIOtic didn’t work. If you or anyone could help with a definition for probatic that would be great. Maybe a variant of probate or probation?
      It’s interesting that you put “proBATHic” cause a quick google turned up The Probatic Pool as being an alternate name to The Pool of Bethesda from Jerusalem in new testament. So, a proper noun. How is this then an acceptable word?

      1. I got the same as you using exactly the same rationale vis a vis probiotic. Probatic apparently is breaking probation by assault or holding a weapon 🤷🏼‍♀️

        1. Thanks Gill.
          What a weirdly specific word(?).
          In my Google searches I’m still only coming up with Bible Pool references.
          Though there is a pdf about probationary stuff with the word; I am unwilling to do all that.
          But the next time I find Colonel Mustard in the Library with a knife… I will have some specifically worded questions for him.

      2. So, in all probability, PROBATIC has nothing to do with PROBE, or PROBATION but is instead what
        https://quod.lib.umich.edu/m/middle-english-dictionary/dictionary/MED34746#:~:text=Definitions%20(Senses%20and%20Subsenses)&text=In%20phrase%20~%20piscine%2C%20a%20pool,epithet%20of%20the%20Virgin%20Mary.
        describes, i.e.,
        ‘In phrase ~ piscine, a pool in Jerusalem used for washing sacrificial sheep, the site of miracles; also, an epithet of the Virgin Mary.’
        It stems directly from Greek for SHEEP, which is ΠΡΟΒΑΤΟ (PROVATO), and it would also be acceptable (and possibly more accurate) in the form of PROBATIK (not, however, used in Greek as an adjective).

    2. This is what I got as well. I came across it so quickly, I didn’t really have all 12 letters in mind at once. Was noodling around, tried for PROBITY, and of course only got so far. Was surprised that PROBATIC was a word—let alone accepted by LB.

  1. ALPHABETIC – COWRIE 16/2. Quite a few unpairable ones: BRAWL, PHORETIC, PROPHETICAL, BOWLER, PATHETIC, PHATIC, HEPATIC, TELEPATHIC, [WHIPCAT], ATROPHIC, BELOW, WHITECAP, CATAPHORIC, OPHICALCITE, PHOTOCOPIER.
    LBF score: 12 / I’m going with
    NFH AOD GLI SPU
    for tomorrow.

  2. Official
    I tried to make placebo work knowing the penchant of the creators of puzzle to use words ending in odd letters.

  3. Another WHITECAP – PARABOLA. But some interesting words along the way: APOPLECTIC, THORACIC, CLOTHIER, WHITEBAIT. Only bird right off is Bobwhite, but I’m sure a longer list will appear.

    ====================

  5. ALPHABETIC – COWER. As for birds, I see Judy already spotted BOBWHITE. PIPIT is also a new one, I think. I may hunt for others later, but my hotel caught fire.

  6. EPITHETICAL – LOWBROW
    Time zone means I’m always late to the game so it’s gratifying to find an hitherto unlisted solution!
