          Another Axioms Synergist, infusing Scripture with Aesop. Also Taxonomists Synergy / Strategy – I’m sure they have one.
          LB declined Tyger, or it would have been the TI-rich Taxonomist Tyger…
          I will note the OA is a doozy! As a Mainer (okay, I’ve only lived heah foah fifty yeahs, so I’ll never be a Mainuh), I’m embarrassed to have missed Moxie, but it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. Nastygram indeed! I’ll gobsmacked if anyone reports in with it (practically guaranteeing that someone will).

      1. as many on this site have alluded, very weird how the brain works. does not make up for the times I don’t see the most ordinary words after spending will-never-admit-how-long trying

        1. I assume you’re talking about a word like AXIOMS or SYNERGIST, but in my case I can safely say I’d *never* discover NASTYGRAM (which isn’t in Merriam-Webster, BTW).

          1. Bernie Horowitz

            Or as I frequently say to the spouse (also named Bill as it happens): “Two great minds with barely a thought between them“.

      2. Axioms-Synergist for me too. Was a minor struggle though. Got stuck on Taxonomist for quite awhile.

          1. Same here. I’m going to write a nastygram to Sam Ezersky if he thinks that’s a real word.

      1. Patrick Keeler

        Same here!!! Good words today. But couldn’t figure out MOISTENERS. Got MOXIE. And TAXONOMISTS or TAXONOMERS…

    1. GEOMETRISTS SAXONY. SAXONY was a guess. Didn’t think there was a common noun with that spelling. Wasn’t happy with that so tried again and got TAXIMETERS SONGY. SONGY was another guess. Wasn’t happy so tried again and got MISTER REOXYGENATE. Finally two words I knew.

      1. Likewise, finally found Taximeters – Songy (who knew Songy was even a word?!) after I tried Axioms – Synergy (no T), Taximeters – Strange (no Y), or Strategy (no N). Always one letter off.

    1. Same here.
      Easy one today. All the answers here are better than Nastygram, which does not look like a real word to me!

    1. OXYGENATORS – SIM
      Which is a real thing for training surgical staff.

      MISO – OXYGENATOR
      Which is not a real thing for training soup chefs.

      1. Thanks, Richie. Not a bad LB day! I’ve been liking how you’re exploring other dictionaries besides MW and OED. ✔

  2. Even Mark & Richie haven’t put in NASTYGRAM In their list of answers…..sure it must be a made up word 🤣

  4. MISO — OXYGENATOR

    Fast solve after seeing OXYGEN, OXYGENATE, OXYGENATOR. I’ve had miso soup in Hawaii and really enjoyed it.

    1. OXIMETERS – SYNERGIA. I liked all the possible combinations related to oxygen. It reminded me of my days working in Respiratory Care.
      My choice for part of the answer was Oximeters, the devices that measure oxygen saturation levels. Synergia was the only word I could find that used the remaining letters.
      Btw, Nastygram sounds like a made up word. I looked it up and its a real word. Still surprised it was part of the OA.
      Fairly quick solve for today.

  5. TAXIMETERS-SONGY pretty quickly today.
    Even though I am a mathematician I totally missed AXIOMS (!) but after I saw MAXIMA and AXIS, I noticed TAXIS and then TAXIMETERS. I didn’t know SONGY was a word, but tried it to use up the remaining letters and it worked.
    I never noticed TAXONOMER, OXYGENATE, or SYNERGIST.

    1. Oops, that was my answer and comment. Not sure how “RE” got in there.

      Added TI: It was a musical ride in the cab!

      1. reply to Jill… love your reply. Other than this puzzle, I wonder what source would recognize NASTYGRAM as legitimate word.

    1. I couldn’t get taxonomists to work , dumb me
      Went with MIXMASTERS- SONGY
      Can’t believe songy is a word but it sings with mixmaster

  6. Cosper Pamela

    We got oxygenators and SIM
    I love it when you find alternative words to the official answers!

  7. MIASMA-unpleasant or unhealthy smell.Voters turn up their noses when MARXIST MONSTERS MIGRATE into, MIX with, and MERGE into the SYSTEM and TAX us to death.

  8. Got Nasty and Gram, but would never have got “Nastygram”! Tons of 3w’s, finally a 2w: TAXONOMERS SYNERGIST. Now I see it could be SYNERGIST TAXONOMER, wee bit shorter.

  9. free palestine

    Me, too! AXIOMS-SYNERGIST

    First time playing in a while, so nice to be able to solve it fairly quickly!

  10. I’m pretty sure this site is not part of the nyt, so there is no official answer. The idea of that is stupid.

    1. They give the official answer for the previous day in the actual puzzle every day. It’s always the same as this one.

  11. TAXONOMERS – STYGIAN*
    but since LB would not accept STYGIAN I had to go with
    TAXONOMERS – SYNERGIA
