OA. Almost instantaneously.
Waiting for Miss Irim and Kanishk-boy later.
MORPHOLOGIC – CORYZA here, after toying around with options like ZYGOMA, RHIZOMIC, AMPHIPHILIC, GHARIAL, MYCOPHILIA etc. Went for CORYZA because I wanted to put one of the words I had recently learnt to good use.
Well done, RF, and hoping to see you join us shortly, Irim!
HAMZA-ARGYROPHILIC in about 5 – this desi’s cells loving her bling, though I’m more of a silver girl (argyrophilic refers to cells/tissues that have an affinity for silver)…didn’t try anything else! Well, I tried CAZIMI off of ARGYROPHILIC – an astrological term – but it didn’t work, so I went for HAMZA.
Hurrah to the triumphant triumvirate, lots of love.
Good luck to all and happy Sunday!
*ugh, I’m more of a GOLD AND COPPER girl.
RHIZOMIC CARPOLOGY
ZIP-PHARMACOLOGY
Quick OA today, yay!
MORPHOLOGIC- CRAZY
Same
My answer as well. Took a long time though. Rebounding after yesterday’s failure – despite having Upshift, Take, and Away all on my word list. 111/123, 2/3, 1, 36
Same… but I call it “aging gracefully”.
Close: MORPHOLOGICAL—LAZY
Candy Crush phenomenon
👍
Morphologic Crazy
Yep. Same here after about 20 minutes.
Pharmacological Lazy
ZYGOMORPGIC–CLAM/CLAY
*ZYGOMORPHIC
Zygomorphic — Clam
On top of the other great solutions above:
MORPHOLOGICAL LAZY
PHARMACOLOGIC COZY
tis one of those days where you feel like saying thank you Sam – for not making a singular solution day made up of obscure yiddish words and allowing us to be creative in crafting solutions
A non-snarky question: Has he included many Yiddish words since all the complaints a year or so ago? I haven’t noticed any, but I don’t play every day.
I don’t play daily either, but don’t remember any in recent months.
One or two months ago, the word, Klutz was one of the OA words. I do believe it is of Yiddish origin.
Also Klezmer from about a month back.
Ouch on that one!
I never understood how Yiddish words were any more obscure than some of the other words used, and I grew up in rural Appalachia, never having heard a Yiddish word until I went off to college!
ZYGOMORPHIC CLAY
RHIZOMIC CARPHOLOGY
RHIZOCARP POLYGRAM
RHIZOCARPIC CYCLOGRAM*
*OED, MW
AMPHIGORIC* CRAZILY
* OED etc
I am surprised AMPHIGORY (nonsensical verse) is not in the LB lexicon, considering how popular the book by Edward Gorey “Amphigorey” was.
ZYGOMA ACAROPHILY
PHARMACOLOGICAL LAZY
Same here.
Spent a while trying to find a G word with an -omorphic suffix to pair with CRAZILY. So close to having LAGOMORPHIC except that G and A are together. Sad that I didn’t think of MORPHOLOGIC as found by others!
Pharmacological & Lazy
Same quickly
Pharmacological lazy very quickly, o time for more this morning. Feels like a good LB day, back later hopefully
I’m going for the record today for most letters.
MICROMORPHOLOGICAL LAZILY
A dilettante rock collector
Crazy popped up immediately (wonder why). Then I learned the correct spelling of Pharmacologic.
OA very quickly… for a change!
Pharmacological lazily. Pharmacologic crazy/crazily/cozily
PROGRAM MYCORHIZAL*
*OED as var. “Mycorrhizal (often spelled mycorhizal in older literature) refers to a symbiotic association between fungi and plant roots…”
Morphologic crazy/crazily/cozily. Morphological lazy/lazily
Zip pharmacology
PHARMACOLOGICAL-LAZY
Zygomorphic clam/clay/ crazily/caliph
Got … Pharmacologic – Cozy / Crazy
before finding OA … Zip – Pharmacology.
Never saw Pharmacological – Lazy.
