Miss Irim, Kanishk-boy, waiting for you…😊
Hey radio,
I just read yesterday’s comments and I’m with you; I miss Steph already too!
Also, like Steph, I wish you many healthy days of safety and satisfaction!
Now to wait for the rest of your “Great Minds Group” to post!
😊🤗
Just saw you, lovely – went to court to be a witness in a trial that turned out to be postponed. Congrats, RF!
BIOFILM – MONARCHY here as well. Not too much of a struggle. Under an hour anyway. 72/75, 15/16, 10, 36
Well done, RF and Irim – congrats, good job. Irim, love yours- would never have gotten LACHRYMIFORM. Well done to RF as well.
I failed today. There were plenty of amazing scientific words and suffixes. BRONCHIAL, FIMBRIA, CHRONO-, CHLOROFORM, -ABLY, -IFY were some of the ones that gave me hope. Four hours went by without a solve. And I did my best, that’s what matters after all at the end. I saw neither HONORIFIC nor MONARCHY, had I seen them , I would have got a solve.
Sad to lose my streak, but it’s not the end of the world. The good thing is there’s always a new day tomorrow. A chance to build a brand new streak.
Well done again, to everyone who solved, and Happy Tuesday to all!
13/16, 65/75

Hi, Kanishk hon,
I’m so sorry; it was a close run thing here too.
BRONCHIOLAR, BRONCHIAL, CHLOROFORM were my sticking points. I really wanted BRONCHIOLAR-RAMIFY, but that wasn’t possible.
I saw MONARCHY, but not BIOFILM.
Wishing you a better Letter Boxed day tomorrow and a wonderful week generally.
Biofilm Monarchy
Biofilm Monarchy…
When royals go viral for being slimy.
BIOFILM MONARCHY
Long live The Slime!
BIOFILM MONARCHY here too, was sure it would be the OA with that mess.
FABRIC CHYLOMICRON
and unaccepted NONFIMBRIAL* LYCH**
*Journal of Hygiene, Epidemiology, Microbiology, and Immunology.
**OED, Scrabble, and MW, “a corpse.”
Love the Chylomicron find. May need to put LB on a Statin.
Thanks Matt!
Oddly they accepted FIMBRIAL, but rarely do they like NON openers.
BRONCHIAL LYRIFORM*
*OED, MW
YES! This was mine too. Couldn’t work it out this morning, and finally got around to it tonight, when BRONCHIAL pretty much jumped out at me.
Biofilm monarchy
Late to the party, and after well over an hour (kicking myself for missing biofilm), I have…
BANAL-LACHRYMIFORM.
Yay, RF, just saw yours – my missed BIOFILM!
Well done, everyone, and keeping an eye out and fingers crossed for my other bestie, Kanishk. Good luck to all who are still trying!
That’s a great find. Not sure if I’m more impressed that you saw it or that it was accepted.
I was working with LACHRYMAL and thought LACHRYFORM? LACHRYMIFORM? Thought, I’m about to give up, what the heck, why not. Was absolutely gobsmacked. But saw BANAL right away and heaved a sigh of relief.
How I put MONARCHY up multiple times and missed BIOFILM is beyond me.
Branchiform(OED) moly . Can’t help but wonder if someone has already posted this one(S?) but going to play a little longer before checking
Branchiform(OED) microcyclic(mw)
Biofilm – Monarchy
Biofilm Monarchy 😊
Not a single OA so far; is this a first?
