PANJANDRUMMIXTURE
Got as far as ADMIXTURE, and knew it was going to be some garbage OA. Glad I didn’t waste any more time on this one.
I was the same and was surprised intermixture was allowed but again got me nowhere. I would expect today is a one word solution.
The guy who creates these is beginning to remind me of one of those guitar players who can play a whole bunch of notes all over the neck, really really fast, and can’t understand why everybody’s not impressed, except it all just kind of sounds like crap.
I sympathize with the people who haven’t even clicked on this site yet because they don’t want to see a spoiler, and are spending an hour or more trying to come up with a word that’s familiar to maybe one in a thousand people. I totally get wanting to expand your vocabulary playing word games, but I’ve gotten to where at some point I’m just wasting time that’s better spent doing something else. I can pick up a dictionary and flip to a random word I’m not familiar with and feel like I’m making better use of my time.
I got the OA, but had no idea what a panjandrum is until looking it up. And a bit annoyed to see that this was the solution today.
I’ve been checking from time to time to see if the negative vibes have cleared. Looks like they have! So I’m back, at least occasionally.
As it happens, I got to OA instantly, but only because as a kid I read Secret Weapons of World War II, by Gerald Pawle. It had me in stitches. People came up with all kinds of cockamamie ideas, one of which was called The Great Panjandrum. If I recall correctly, it was a massive rolling bomb. Almost as goofy as the idea of aircraft carriers made out of ice and plywood dust.
Anyway, IMHO this is definitely not the kind of word that should be unavoidable in a solution. It’s far too obscure.
